The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) State of California is currently in full

implementation of Senate Bill 854 for new public works projects. The public works reforms (SB

854) were signed into law on June 20, 2014. The reforms made several significant changes to the

administration and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the Department of Industrial

Relations (DIR). SB 854 established a public works contractor registration program to replace

prior Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) and Labor Compliance Program (LCP) requirements

for bond-funded and other specified public works projects. The fees collected through the program

established by SB 854 are used to fund DIR’s public works activities. Contractors and

Subcontractors must comply with DIR registration requirements as specified in Labor Code

1725.5, 1771.1(a), 1771.1, 1771.4. Additional information is available on DIR’s Public Works

webpage (www.dir.ca.gov), with resources that include a webinar, presentation slides and

frequently asked questions regarding SB 854. Special attention is called out to Page B-6 of

Instruction to Bidders regarding Wage Scale.

Bids must be prepared on the approved original proposal forms, which are stamped “Official

Bid” in red ink, in conformance with the Instructions to Bidders and submitted in a sealed

envelope plainly marked on the outside. Plans and Special Provisions must be purchased from

or furnished by the City of Santa Fe Springs – no other company or agency has been given

authorization to sell, duplicate or transfer Contract documents. Bid Proposals received from

companies not on the official plan holders list, which is posted to a link available from the

City’s website, shall not be accepted.

The Bid must be accompanied by certified or cashier's check, or bidder's bond, made payable to

the City of Santa Fe Springs as AGENCY, for an amount no less than 10 percent of the amount

bid. A labor and materials bond and performance bond will be required prior to the execution of

the contract in the form and amount set forth in the contract documents.

The successful bidder shall be licensed in accordance with provisions of the Business and


A-3

Professions Code and shall possess a valid State Contractor's License A at the time this Contract

is awarded. The successful Contractor and all subcontractors will also be required to possess

business licenses from the City of Santa Fe Springs prior to commencement of work.

DEBARMENT: No Contractor or Subcontractor may be awarded a contract on a bid proposal if

they have been Debarred by the State pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1777.1 and 1777.7 and

Public Contracts Code Section 6109.

The AGENCY reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive any irregularity in any bid

received, and to be the sole judge of the merits of the respective bids received and to take all bids

under advisement for a period of 30 days. The award, if made, will be made to the lowest

responsible bidder as so determined by the AGENCY.

The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) State of California is currently in full

implementation of Senate Bill 854 for new public works projects. Additional information is

available on DIR’s Public Works webpage (www.dir.ca.gov), with resources that include a

webinar, presentation slides and frequently asked questions regarding SB 854. The highlights of

the SB 854 requirements are as follows:

Registration of Public Works projects using the PWC-100 form:

• Awarding agencies are required by law to notify DIR of any public works project within five

(5) days after awarding the contract for the project. This applies to any project that would be

considered a public work requiring the payment of prevailing wages under California Labor

Code.

• Awarding agencies must use the PWC-100 form to provide the required notice and register a

project with DIR.

Registration of Public Works Contractors and Subcontractors:

• Contractors and Subcontractors must complete registration with DIR (www.dir.ca.gov),

this is a mandatory condition for bidding on any Public Works Projects. In the event the

City receives a bid proposal from a contractor without a DIR registration, that bid will

be considered null and void thus disqualified from the bidding process.

• Contractors and Subcontractors must comply with DIR registration requirements as specified

in Labor Code 1725.5, 1771.1(a), 1771.1, 1771.4.

• Contractors are subject to a registration and annual renewal fee set initially at $300. The fee

is non-refundable and applies to all contractors and subcontractors who intend to bid or

perform work on public works projects (as defined under the Labor Code).

• Contractors apply and pay the fee online and must meet minimum qualifications to be

registered as eligible to bid and work on public works projects:

2019

B-7

♦ Must have worker’s compensation coverage for any employees and only use subcontractors

who are registered public works contractors.

♦ Must have Contractors State License Board License if applicable to trade.

♦ Must not have any delinquent unpaid wage or penalty assessments owed to any employee

or enforcement agency.

♦ Must not be under federal or state debarment.

♦ Must not be in prior violation of this registration requirements once it becomes effective.

However, for the first violation in a 12-month period, a contractor may still qualify for

registration by paying an additional penalty.

• The public works project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the

Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).

Certified Payroll Reporting by Contractors and Subcontractors

• Contractors and Subcontractors will be required to submit certified payroll records (CPRs)

directly to the Labor Commissioner, using DIR’s data-driven electronic Certified Payroll

Record (eCPR) reporting system. Contractors will input CPR data directly into the online

form. In addition, Contractor and Subcontractor shall maintain the records and certifications

and make them available for inspection, pursuant to Labor Code §1776.

• Projects will need to be registered with DIR (using the PWC-100 form) in order for a contractor

or subcontractor to use this system. Contractors and subcontractors will then be able to identify

the correct project and associate their payroll records with that project using the eCPR system.

The successful bidder will be held to strict compliance with SB 854 requirements.

Contractors who cannot comply should not bid.

NONCOLLUSION DECLARATION

A noncollusion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B,” shall be filled out, signed and submitted

with the bid (Public Contract Code § 7106)

AWARD OF CONTRACT

The award of Contract, if made, will be to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder as

determined solely by the Agency. The Agency reserves the right to award the bid or the bid

alternate to the lowest responsible bidder. Additionally, the Agency reserves the right to reject

any or all proposals, to waive any irregularity, and to take the bids under advisement for a period

of 30 days, all as may be required to provide for the best interests of the Agency. In no event will

an award be made until all necessary investigations are made to the responsibility and

qualifications of the bidder to whom award is contemplated. All bids will be compared with the

Estimate and budget.

ARTICLE I The contract documents for the aforesaid project shall consist of the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids,

addenda or supplemental agreements clarifying, or extending the work contemplated as may be

required to ensure its completion in an acceptable manner. All of the provisions of said contract

documents are made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein.

ARTICLE II

For and in consideration of the payments and agreements to be made and performed by AGENCY,

CONTRACTOR agrees to furnish all materials and perform all work required for the above-stated

project, and to fulfill all other obligations as set forth in the aforesaid contract documents.


ARTICLE III CONTRACTOR agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in the Proposal as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling all obligations hereunder. Said compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of the work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the aforesaid contract documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.

ARTICLE IV

AGENCY hereby promises and agrees to employ, and does hereby employ, CONTRACTOR to

provide the materials, do the work and fulfill the obligations according to the terms and conditions

herein contained and referred to, for the prices aforesaid, and hereby contracts to pay the same at

the time, in the manner, and upon the conditions set forth in the contract documents. No work or

portion of the work shall be paid for until it is approved for payment by the City Engineer. Payment

made for completed portions of the work shall not constitute final acceptance of those portions or

of the completed project.

ARTICLE V

CONTRACTOR acknowledges the provisions of the State Labor Code requiring every employer

to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in

accordance with the provisions of that code and certifies compliance with such provisions.

Contractor further acknowledges the provisions of the State Labor Code requiring every employer

to pay at least the minimum prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft classification or type

ARTICLE VI

Except as to the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the AGENCY and

notwithstanding the existence of insurance coverage required of CONTRACTOR pursuant to this

its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all damages to

property or injuries to or death of any person or persons, and shall defend, indemnify, save and

arising out of the acts, errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR, its employees and/or authorized

subcontractors, whether intentional or negligent, in the performance of this Agreement.

This indemnification provision is independent of and shall not in any way be limited by the

Insurance Requirements of this Agreement. AGENCY approval of the Insurance contracts

required by this Agreement does not in any way relieve the CONTRACTOR from liability under

this section.

AGENCY shall notify CONTRACTOR of the receipt of any third party claim related to this

Agreement within seven (7) business days of receipt. The City is entitled to recover its reasonable

costs incurred in providing the notification. (Pubic Contracts Code Section 9201)

ARTICLE VII

AGENCY shall comply with Pub Cont. Code §20104.50 as follows:

20104.50.

(a) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to require all local governments

to pay their contractors on time so that these contractors can meet their own obligations. In

requiring prompt payment by all local governments, the Legislature hereby finds and declares that

the prompt payment of outstanding receipts is not merely a municipal affair, but is, instead, a

matter of statewide concern.

(2) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article to fully occupy the field of public policy

relating to the prompt payment of local governments’ outstanding receipts. The Legislature finds

and declares that all government officials, including those in local government, must set a standard

of prompt payment that any business in the private sector which may contract for services should

look towards for guidance.

(b) Any local agency which fails to make any progress payment within 30 days after receipt of an

undisputed and properly submitted payment request from a contractor on a construction contract

shall pay interest to the contractor equivalent to the legal rate set forth in subdivision (a) of Section

685.010 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

(c) Upon receipt of a payment request, each local agency shall act in accordance with both of the

following:

(1) Each payment request shall be reviewed by the local agency as soon as practicable after receipt

for the purpose of determining that the payment request is a proper payment request.

(2) Any payment request determined not to be a proper payment request suitable for payment shall

be returned to the contractor as soon as practicable, but not later than seven days, after receipt. A

request returned pursuant to this paragraph shall be accompanied by a document setting forth in

writing the reasons why the payment request is not proper.


(d) The number of days available to a local agency to make a payment without incurring interest

pursuant to this section shall be reduced by the number of days by which a local agency exceeds

the seven-day return requirement set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c).

(e) For purposes of this article:

(1) A “local agency” includes, but is not limited to, a city, including a charter city, a county, and a

city and county, and is any public entity subject to this part.

(2) A “progress payment” includes all payments due contractors, except that portion of the final

payment designated by the contract as retention earnings.

(3) A payment request shall be considered properly executed if funds are available for payment of

the payment request, and payment is not delayed due to an audit inquiry by the financial officer of

the local agency.

(f) Each local agency shall require that this article, or a summary thereof, be set forth in the terms

of any contract subject to this article.


ARTICLE VIII

CONTRACTOR affirms that the signatures, titles and seals set forth hereinafter in execution of

this Contract Agreement represent all individuals, firm members, partners, joint venturers, and/or

corporate officers having principal interest herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto for themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators,

successors, and assigns do hereby agree to the full performance of the covenants herein contained

and have caused this Contract Agreement to be executed in triplicate by setting hereunto their

name, titles, hands, and seals as of the date noted above.

SECTION F


F-1

FUGITIVE DUST

REASONABLE AVAILABLE CONTROL MEASURES

(AQMD RULE 403)

The bold headings indicate the sources of fugitive dust which are intended for emission control

under AQMD Rule 403 and a listing of respective control and high wind measures for these

sources. The numerically listed information contains a description of reasonable available fugitive

dust control measures for each of the sources.

LAND CLEARING/EARTH-MOVING CONTROL MEASURES

A. Watering

1. Application of water by means of trucks, hoses and/or sprinklers prior to conducting

any land clearing. This will increase the moisture content of the soil thereby

increasing its stability.

2. Pre-application of water to depths of proposed cuts.

3. Once the land clearing/earth moving activities are complete, a second round of

watering can generate a thin crust which stabilizes the disturbed surface area

provided that it is not further disturbed. (Security fencing can be used to prevent

unwanted future disturbances of sites where a surface crust has been created).

B. Chemical stabilizers

1. Only effective in areas which are not subject to daily disturbances.

2. Vendors can supply information on product application and required concentrations

to meet the specifications established by the Rule.

C. Wind fencing

1. Three to five foot barriers with 50% or less porosity adjacent to roadways or urban

areas can be effective in reducing the amount of windblown material leaving a site.

2. Would likely be used in conjunction with other measures (e.g. watering, chemical

stabilization, etc.) to ensure that visible emissions do not cross the property line.

D. Cover haul vehicles

1. Entire surface area should be covered once vehicle is full.

E. Bedliners in haul vehicles

1. When feasible, use in bottom-dumping haul vehicles.

LAND CLEARING/EARTH MOVING HIGH WIND MEASURE

1. Cease all active operations.

2. Apply water within 15 minutes to any soil surface which is being moved or

otherwise disturbed.

UNPAVED ROADS CONTROL MEASURES

A. Paving

1. Requires street sweeping/cleaning if subject to material accumulation.


F-2

B. Chemical stabilization

1. Vendors can supply information as to application methods and concentrations to

meet the specifications established by the Rule.

2. Not recommended for unpaved roadways with high volumes or those subject to

heavy equipment use.

C. Watering

1. In sufficient quantities to keep surface moist.

2. Required application frequency will vary according to soil type, weather

conditions, and vehicular use.

D. Reduce speed limits

1. 15 mile per hour maximum. (In the Southeast Desert Air Basin, the 15 mile per

hour speed limit is appropriate within the population centers. Otherwise, speed

limits of 25 miles per hour are reasonable.) May need to be used in conjunction

with watering or chemical stabilization to prevent visible emissions from crossing

the property line.

E. Reduce vehicular trips

1. Access restriction or redirecting traffic to reduce vehicle trips by a minimum of 60

percent.

F. Gravel

1. Gravel or untreated base material maintained to a depth of six inches is an effective

measure.

2. Should only be used in areas where paving, chemical stabilization or frequent

watering is not feasible.

UNPAVED ROADS HIGH WIND MEASURE

1. Apply a chemical stabilizer (to meet the specifications established by the Rule)

prior to wind events - or-.

2. Apply water once each hour.

3. Stop all vehicular traffic only upon approval of City Engineer.

STORAGE PILES CONTROL MEASURES

A. Wind sheltering

1. Enclose material in silos.

2. Install three-sided barriers equal to height of material, with no more than 50 percent

porosity.

B. Watering

1. Application methods include: spray bars, misting systems, hoses and water trucks.

Construction Waste Diversion MandatesSenate Bill 1374, signed into law in 2002, requires local governments to quantify and account for construction and demolition waste diverted from landfills in their annual reports to CalRecycle. Each jurisdiction is also directed to develop and promote construction and demolition diversion programs that achieve a diversion range of 50%-75% per project.

Chapter 50.60 of the City of Santa Fe Springs Ordinance, requires a diversion rate of at least 75 percent of the total construction and demolition debris generated by a project by means of re-use or recycling, unless the applicant has been granted an exemption pursuant to chapter 50.64, in which the Diversion Requirement shall be the maximum feasible diversion rate established by the Waste Management Program (WMP) Compliance Official for the project.

Non-Covered Projects - Any construction, demolition or renovation project within City, which the total costs are less than $50,000 is considered “Non-Covered”. Non-Covered projects are still encouraged to divert at least 75% of all project-related construction and demolition debris, but shall not be required to submit a WMP.

City Sponsored Project - All City sponsored construction, demolition, and renovation projects, whose total costs are equal to or greater than $50,000, shall be considered a covered project.

Construction Waste Management Plan (CALGreen – 5.408.1.1)Effective January 1, 2017, Section 5.408 “Construction Waste Reduction, Disposal and Recycling” of the 2016 California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) requires that all new construction and demolition projects develop a Construction Waste Management Plan that recycles and/or salvages for reuse a minimum of 65 percent of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste. t Identify that the construction and demolition waste materials to be

t Determine if construction and demolition waste materials will be sorted on-site (source-separated) or bulk mixed for processing. (Bulk mixed processing shall be provided by a City permitted solid waste hauler)

t Identify the diversion facility where the construction and demolition waste material collected will be taken.

Specify the amount of construction and demolition waste materials diverted by weight or volume, but not both.

Waste Management Company (CALGreen – 5.408.1.2)Utilize a waste management company, that will provide verifiable documentation that the percentage of construction and demolition waste material diverted from the landfill complies with this section. (Waste management company shall be provided by a City licensed solid waste hauler in good-standing)

Universal Waste (CALGreen – 5.408.2)Additions or alterations to a building or tenant space that meet the scoping provisions in Section 301.3 for non-residential additions and alterations, shall require verification that Universal Waste items such as fluorescent lamps and ballast and mercury containing thermostats as well as other California prohibited Universal waste materials are disposed of properly and are diverted from landfills.

PAYEE DATA RECORD STD. 204 (Rev. 6-2003) (REVERSE)

1

Requirement to Complete Payee Data Record, STD. 204 A completed Payee Data Record, STD. 204, is required for payments to all non-governmental entities and will be kept on file at each State agency. Since each State agency with which you do business must have a separate STD. 204 on file, it is possible for a payee to receive this form from various State agencies. Payees who do not wish to complete the STD. 204 may elect to not do business with the State. If the payee does not complete the STD. 204 and the required payee data is not otherwise provided, payment may be reduced for federal backup withholding and nonresident State income tax withholding. Amounts reported on Information Returns (1099) are in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and the California Revenue and Taxation Code.

2

Enter the payee’s legal business name. Sole proprietorships must also include the owner’s full name. An individual must list his/her full name. The mailing address should be the address at which the payee chooses to receive correspondence. Do not enter payment address or lock box information here.

3

Check the box that corresponds to the payee business type. Check only one box. Corporations must check the box that identifies the type of corporation. The State of California requires that all parties entering into business transactions that may lead to payment(s) from the State provide their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). The TIN is required by the California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 18646 to facilitate tax compliance enforcement activities and the preparation of Form 1099 and other information returns as required by the Internal Revenue Code Section 6109(a). The TIN for individuals and sole proprietorships is the Social Security Number (SSN). Only partnerships, estates, trusts, and corporations will enter their Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN).

4

Are you a California resident or nonresident? A corporation will be defined as a "resident" if it has a permanent place of business in California or is qualified through the Secretary of State to do business in California. A partnership is considered a resident partnership if it has a permanent place of business in California. An estate is a resident if the decedent was a California resident at time of death. A trust is a resident if at least one trustee is a California resident. For individuals and sole proprietors, the term "resident" includes every individual who is in California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose and any individual domiciled in California who is absent for a temporary or transitory purpose. Generally, an individual who comes to California for a purpose that will extend over a long or indefinite period will be considered a resident. However, an individual who comes to perform a particular contract of short duration will be considered a nonresident. Payments to all nonresidents may be subject to withholding. Nonresident payees performing services in California or receiving rent, lease, or royalty payments from property (real or personal) located in California will have 7% of their total payments withheld for State income taxes. However, no withholding is required if total payments to the payee are $1,500 or less for the calendar year. For information on Nonresident Withholding, contact the Franchise Tax Board at the numbers listed below: Withholding Services and Compliance Section: 1-888-792-4900 E-mail address: [email protected] For hearing impaired with TDD, call: 1-800-822-6268 Website: www.ftb.ca.gov

Provide the name, title, signature, and telephone number of the individual completing this form. Provide the date the form was completed.

This section must be completed by the State agency requesting the STD. 204.

Privacy Statement Section 7(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-579) requires that any federal, State, or local governmental agency, which requests an individual to disclose their social security account number, shall inform that individual whether that disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by which statutory or other authority such number is solicited, and what uses will be made of it. It is mandatory to furnish the information requested. Federal law requires that payment for which the requested information is not provided is subject to federal backup withholding and State law imposes noncompliance penalties of up to $20,000. You have the right to access records containing your personal information, such as your SSN. To exercise that right, please contact the business services unit or the accounts payable unit of the State agency(ies) with which you transact that business.

The following is in addition to Section 5-1 of the Standard Specifications: The location and existence of any underground utility or substructure was obtained from a search of available records. No guarantee is made or implied that the information is complete or accurate. It shall be the CONTRACTOR’s responsibility alone to determine


1-8

the exact location of underground utilities or substructures of every nature and to protect them from damage as required to accommodate the nature of the work contemplated. The CONTRACTOR shall excavate and expose all high-risk underground facilities.

On Projects involving paving, some existing utility facilities will remain in place and the

CONTRACTOR will be required to work around and pave up to said facilities. During

paving operations, the CONTRACTOR shall adjust valve covers to the new grade in

accordance with AGENCY Standards. For other types of covers or utility vaults, the

CONTRACTOR shall notify the owners to adjust their facilities to grade unless the Plans

indicate facilities are to remain in place or bid documents provide payment for

CONTRACTOR to adjust facilities to grade.

Where underground main distribution conduits such as water, gas, sewer, electric power,

telephone or cable television are present, the CONTRACTOR, for the purpose of preparing

a bid, shall assume that every property parcel will be served by a service connection for

each type of utility.

The AGENCY will conduct a pre-construction meeting between the CONTRACTOR, the

ENGINEER, and the utility companies to discuss scheduling, coordination of any required

utility relocations, and the protection of existing utilities. The CONTRACTOR shall attend

any pre-construction meeting scheduled by the AGENCY and shall cooperate with all

utility companies performing utility relocation or installation work on the Project site.

The CONTRACTOR shall notify the owners of all utilities and substructures as set forth

in the General Specifications and as required by the Public Utility Protection in Contract

Act (AB73). Should AGENCY request CONTRACTOR to pothole certain utilities or

substructures to determine location or depth, the CONTRACTOR shall provide specialized

personnel and equipment with payment made under “extra work” unless noted otherwise

in the Specifications.

The CONTRACTOR shall notify Underground Service Alert (USA) at telephone number

8-1-1 at least 48 hours in advance of any excavation in order to have underground

installations marked. It will be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to have all

agencies to identify their utilities. The Public Works Department will not issue any

construction permits involving excavation for underground facilities unless the applicant

has been provided an inquiry identification number by USA.

Before the Project is accepted by the CITY, the CONTRACTOR shall remove all paint

markings left by the utility companies to identify the locations of their underground

substructures. The cost for this removal shall be distributed among the various Contract

bid items of work involved and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.

5-2 PROTECTION.

Add the following subsection to the Standard Specifications:


1-9

5-2.1 Protection of Underground Hazardous Utilities. This Subsection shall apply to

Projects where there are underground utilities within the construction area, which may be

potentially hazardous if damaged. A hazardous substance shall be defined as one having

the potential for an immediate disaster such as, but not limited to, gasoline, electricity, fuel

oil, butane, propane, natural gas, chlorine or other chemicals.

Abandoned, idle, inactive, or inoperative utilities designed to carry hazardous substances

and unidentified or unknown utilities shall be considered hazardous until determined

otherwise. Whenever the CONTRACTOR is directed by the ENGINEER to tap, cut or

plate these lines, the CONTRACTOR shall provide personnel specialized in this work and

payment therefor will be made under "Extra Work." If requested by the CONTRACTOR,

the AGENCY will perform the drilling, cutting and plating of pipelines determined to be

abandoned through the services of a pipeline company (i.e., A. H. & S. Construction Corp.

of Long Beach, California or others.)

The CONTRACTOR shall comply with the following requirements when working around

or in the vicinity of underground hazardous utilities:

A. The CONTRACTOR shall not trench or perform roadway excavation within the

area where a utility known to carry a hazardous substance exists until its location

has been determined by exploratory excavation by the CONTRACTOR or other

proven methods acceptable to the ENGINEER.

B. The ENGINEER may, at his discretion, or as shown on the plans, require one or

more exploratory excavations to be dug in advance of construction to confirm the

location of underground hazardous utilities. Exploratory excavations ordered by

the ENGINEER shall be paid as Extra Work under Section 3 of the Standard

Specifications unless payment is included in Bid Schedule or specified hereinafter.

C. If it is determined that the horizontal or vertical clearance between the utility known

to carry hazardous substances and the construction limit is less than 12" (18" if

scarifying), the CONTRACTOR shall confer with its owner. Unless the owner

elects to relocate the line or take it out of service, the CONTRACTOR shall not

excavate until the line has been exposed sufficiently within the limits of

construction to determine extent of impact on CONTRACTOR’s operations.

D. Once the physical location of the utility known to carry hazardous substances has

been determined, the CONTRACTOR, in cooperation with and with the

concurrence of the utility owner, shall determine how to protect and/or support the

utility from damage before proceeding with the work. Compliance with this

Subsection shall also include modifications to the CONTRACTOR’s operations,

which may require, if necessary, the use of alternate excavation equipment,

scarification and compaction methods in order to minimize adverse impact on

utilities and still accomplish the work in an expeditious manner.


1-10

E. During all excavation and trenching operations, the CONTRACTOR shall exercise

extreme caution and protect the utilities from damage.

F. The CONTRACTOR shall notify the Agency and the owner, if known, whenever

previously unidentified or unknown underground utilities are encountered so that

the location can be accurately established and made a part of the permanent

substructure records.

G. Full compensation for protecting underground hazardous utilities shall be

considered as included in the prices bid for the various items of work, unless there

is a separate bid item identified in the Bid Schedule for such protection.

5-4 RELOCATION.

The second sentence of the last paragraph of Subsection 5-4 of the Standard Specifications

is hereby deleted and replaced with the following paragraphs:

When not otherwise required by the Plans and Specifications and when directed by the

ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall arrange for the relocation of service connections,

as necessary, between the meter and property line, or between the meter and limits of

construction. Service connections which do not interfere with the work shall be maintained

in place by the CONTRACTOR. Such services, if cut, shall be replaced with a new line

of equal size and type from the water main to the property line.

The CONTRACTOR is advised to coordinate his work with other contractors or other

forces who may be doing work within the construction area.

The CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to any additional costs for any delays as a result

of relocation work.

When directed by the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall encase interfering service

connections in the slab or walls of poured-in-place concrete structures. All costs for such

encasing shall be absorbed in the prices bid for the various Contract items of work involved.

Service connections, which do not interfere with the permanent works, shall be maintained

in placed by the CONTRACTOR.

5-5 DELAYS.

The second paragraph of Subsection 5-5, of the Standard Specifications is hereby deleted

and replaced with the following two paragraphs:

The CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to damages or additional payment for delays

attributable to utility relocations or alterations if correctly located, noted and completed in

accordance with Subsection 5-1 of the Standard Specifications. The CONTRACTOR shall

ascertain further detailed information to coordinate his work with minimal delay.


1-11

Notification of utility companies shall be made by the CONTRACTOR in accordance with

Subsection 5-1. Any costs for delay of the CONTRACTOR by utility companies in this

regard shall be assigned to the CONTRACTOR.

5-6 COOPERATION.


The CONTRACTOR shall also cooperate with adjacent contractors, businesses, residents,

and property owners in the prosecution of the work, and make necessary adjustments in

scheduling to maintain a high quality level of public relations and cooperation.

SECTION 6 - PROSECUTION, PROGRESS, AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE WORK

6-1 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND COMMENCEMENT OF WORK.


The Contractor’s proposed construction schedule shall be submitted to the ENGINEER

within ten (10) working days after the date of the AGENCY’S execution of the Contract

Agreement. The schedule shall be supported by written statements from each supplier of

materials or equipment indicating that all orders have been placed and acknowledged, and

setting forth the dates that each item will be delivered.

Prior to issuing the Notice to Proceed with the Work, the ENGINEER will schedule a pre-

construction meeting with the CONTRACTOR to review the proposed construction

schedule and delivery dates, arrange utility coordination, discuss construction methods,

and clarify inspection procedures. The CONTRACTOR’s Project Superintendent

Foreman that will be working on the Project must be present.

to the performance by the CONTRACTOR of the work which is the subject

of the Contract.

2. The certificate of liability insurance shall conform to Section 7-3 of the

Standard Specifications and these Special Provisions, except the provision

whereby “the policy shall insure the AGENCY, its officers…while acting

within the scope of their duties of the work” is eliminated on Federal

Projects (if a Federal Project No. is indicated on the Plans or these Special

Provisions).

3. The full and complete Project name shall be shown on the Certificate of

Insurance.

E. Notification of Cancellation of Insurance - Certificates of proof of carriage of

insurance shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days’ notice of change or

cancellation prior to acceptance of the work. F. Renewal of Insurance - The insurance required herein will be renewed annually as

long as CONTRACTOR continues operations in any way related to this agreement or AGENCY or AGENCY’s employees face an exposure from such operations.

7-5 PERMITS.

The text of Subsection 7-5 of the Standard Specifications is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Prior to the start of any work, the Contractor shall take out the applicable AGENCY permits and make arrangement for AGENCY inspections. The AGENCY will issue the permits at no charge to the Contractor. The Contractor and all Subcontractors shall each obtain a City of Santa Fe Springs Business Operations Tax Certificate, and shall be licensed in accordance with State Business and Professions Code. The Contractor shall also obtain any and all other permits, licenses, inspections, certificates, or authorizations required by any other governing body or entity.

1-18

$100 for the general Contractor and for each Subcontractor respectively, in addition to a $30 processing fee per application. Possession of an existing valid Certificate satisfies this requirement.

The Contractor shall pay all costs incurred by other than CITY permit and license requirements. A contract with AGENCY satisfies CITY excavation and construction permit requirements, and no CITY fee is imposed. This Contractor shall deliver all “Certificates of Inspections” to ENGINEER as soon as all the work has been inspected and approved by the proper authorities. This Contractor shall prepare all drawings and sketches required for the permits and shall pay thereof all expenses. 7-5.1 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. Federal

regulations control storm water discharges from construction sites into storm drains and

surface waters. The requirements are outlined in the National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System (NPDES) permit held by the County Flood Control District to which

the CITY is a co-permittee. The regulations require a Storm Water Pollution Prevention

Plan (SWPPP) for projects that include clearing, grading and excavation of over one (1)

acre to obtain an NPDES permit.

All directions of the ENGINEER shall be in writing and shall be received and obeyed by the superintendent in charge of the particular work, reference to which orders are given, and all such directions given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the CONTRACTOR in person. The CONTRACTOR’s representative shall be present at all times when work is in progress, even if the work is being performed only by a Subcontractor.

7-7 COOPERATION AND COLLATERAL WORK.


Simultaneous, collateral, and essential work by others at the site shall, consist of the

following:


1-19

"Cooperation to minimize interference" and "coordinating its work with others" shall also

mean that the CONTRACTOR may be required to avoid working at certain locations or

altogether on the Project to accommodate CITY functions, events, elections, celebrations,

holiday periods, or activities that are deemed by the ENGINEER to be in the best interest

of the AGENCY for public relations purposes.

7-8 WORK SITE MAINTENANCE.

Subsection 7-8.1, “General,” of the Standard Specifications is supplemented as follows:

When required by the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish and operate a self-

within the construction limits within one working day of incident.

Add the following subsection 7-8.2, “Air Pollution Control,” to the Standard

Specifications:

7-8.2.2 Control of Fugitive Dust. The CONTRACTOR shall comply with Rule 403 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District regarding fugitive dust. The purpose of this rule is to reduce the amount of particulate matter entrained in the ambient air as a result of man-made fugitive dust sources by requiring actions to prevent, reduce or mitigate fugitive


1-20

dust emissions. The provisions of this rule shall apply to any activity or man-made condition capable of generating fugitive dust. A more descriptive detail is located in the Contract Forms section of these Special Provisions. This rule contains the following basic requirements:

A. A person shall not cause or allow emissions of fugitive dust from any operation,

open storage pile, or disturbed surface area to remain visible beyond the property line. Fugitive dust means any solid particle matter that becomes airborne, other than that emitted from an exhaust stack, directly or indirectly as a result of human activities. A disturbed surface area is any earth surface which has been modified from its undisturbed natural soil condition (excludes natural restoration).

B. One or more Reasonable Available Control Measures (R.A.C.M.) are to be utilized

for each fugitive dust source from active operations. An active operation is any activity capable of generating fugitive dust. A list of R.A.C.M.s is included at the end of these special provisions.

C. Upwind/downwind PM10 differences shall not exceed 50 micrograms per cubic

meter as determined by South Coast Air Quality Management District sampling. PM10 is particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than or equal to 10 microns as measured by the applicable State and Federal reference test methods. Particulate matter means any material, except uncombined water, which exists in a finely divided form as a liquid or solid at standard conditions.

D. Remove visible roadway dust from paved roadways at the end of each workday, or

at any time visible roadway dust extends more than 50 feet. Visible roadway dust is material, which can be removed by a street sweeper under normal operating conditions. The purpose of this requirement is to reduce the amount of particulates being deposited on public paved roadways, and subsequently re-entrained into the air.

Rule 403 provides for various exceptions to Requirements 1 and 3 listed above. For more information, call the South Coast Air Quality Management District at (909) 396-3600 or write:

driveways, fences, walls, sprinkler systems, signs, utility installations, pavements, cross

gutters, structures, etc.) which are damaged or removed as a result of his operations or as

required by the Plans and these Special Provisions. Where existing traffic striping,

pavement markings and curb markings are damaged or their reflectivity reduced by the

CONTRACTOR’s operations, such striping or markings shall also be considered as

existing improvements and the CONTRACTOR shall repaint or replace such

improvements as directed by the ENGINEER to match existing unless otherwise indicated

to be performed by others.

Relocations, repairs, replacements or reestablishment shall be at least equal to the existing

improvements and shall match such improvements in finish and dimensions unless

Subsection 7-10.6, “Protection of the Public,” is hereby added to Section 7 of the Standard


It is part of the service required of the CONTRACTOR to make whatever provisions are

necessary to protect the public. The CONTRACTOR shall use foresight and shall take

such steps and precautions as his operations warrant to protect the public from danger, loss

of life or loss of property, which would result from interruption or contamination of public

water supply, interruption of other public service, or from the failure of partly completed

require that immediate and unusual provisions be made to protect the public from danger

or loss, or damage to life and property, due directly or indirectly to prosecution of work

under this Contract.

Whenever, in the opinion of the ENGINEER, an emergency exists in which the

CONTRACTOR has not taken sufficient precaution for the public safety, protection of

utilities and protection of adjacent structures or property which may be damaged by the

CONTRACTOR’s operations and when, in the opinion of the ENGINEER, immediate

action shall be considered necessary in order to protect the public or property due to the

CONTRACTOR’s operations under this Contract, the ENGINEER will order the

CONTRACTOR to provide a remedy for the unsafe condition. If the CONTRACTOR

fails to act on the situation within a reasonable time period, the ENGINEER may provide

suitable protection to said interest by causing such work to be done and material to be

furnished as may seem reasonable and necessary in the opinion of the ENGINEER.

The cost and expense of said labor and material, together with the cost and expense of such

repairs as are deemed necessary, shall be borne by the CONTRACTOR. All expenses

incurred by the AGENCY for emergency repairs will be deducted from the progress

payments and the final payment due to the CONTRACTOR. However, if the AGENCY

In the event that a dispute arises between the CITY and the CONTRACTOR whether the

conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in

the CONTRACTOR’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work,

the CONTRACTOR shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided

for by the Contract, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the Contract.

than 30. The sand shall have a sand equivalent greater than 30 and shall be placed

full trench width to a depth not less than one foot above the pipe, measured after

the sand has been jetted and/or compacted.

Natural sand must be free from organic matter, loam, or other substances

detrimental to its use for the purpose of producing compacted backfill of the

specified densities.

C. Crushed Rock

Crushed rock bedding shall be placed, when in the opinion of the ENGINEER, the

ground is insufficiently stable to support the pipe or structure. Rock bedding shall

consist of sound crushed rock which will pass through a vibrating screen having a

2 1/2 inch square opening and not more than seven percent (7%) of which will pass

through a screen having a one-inch square opening. It shall be carefully placed and

sufficiently compacted by tamping or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the

ENGINEER so as to support without settlement of the pipe or structure placed upon

it. The required depth below the required grade of the bottom of the pipe or

structure and to such line will be ordered by the ENGINEER.

D. Concrete Bedding

Concrete used for bedding shall be Class 420-C-2000 unless otherwise specified.

The CONTRACTOR shall place the concrete in such a manner as to prevent

All connections shall be made by the CONTRACTOR unless otherwise shown on the plans

or specified herein. The CONTRACTOR shall give the Agency a minimum of two

working days’ notice before the time of any proposed shutdown of existing mains or

services. Connections shall be made only in the presence of the Agency Inspector, and no

connection work shall proceed until the Agency has given notice to proceed. The

CONTRACTOR shall furnish all pipe and materials, including furnishing all labor and

equipment necessary to make the connections, all required excavation, backfill, pavement

replacement, lights, and barricades, and he may be required to include a water truck,

highline hose, and fittings as part of his equipment for making the connections. Standby

equipment or materials may be required by the Agency to facilitate connections to existing

facilities.

Where connections are made to existing valves, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish and

install all temporary blocking, steel clamps, shackles, and anchors as required by the

Agency, and shall replace the valve well and cover and adjust the valve cover to the proper

grade in accordance with the Standard Drawings if needed.

The City of Santa Fe Springs Water Division will operate all existing water valves. The

CONTRACTOR will dewater existing mains, as required, in the presence of the Agency,

and dispose excess water to the nearest catch basin. Water used for flushing or dewatering

shall not be allowed in the gutter. All valves, existing or newly installed, shall be readily

accessible at all times to the Agency for emergency operation.

The Agency may postpone or reschedule any shutdown operation if for any reason he feels

that the CONTRACTOR is improperly prepared with competent personnel, equipment, or

materials to proceed with the connection work. If progress is inadequate during the

connection operations to complete the connection in the time specified, the CITY shall

order necessary corrective measures. All costs for corrective measures shall be paid by the

CONTRACTOR.

The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for determining in advance the grade of all

existing pipelines to which connections are to be made. Connections shall be made with

as little change as possible in the grade of the new main. If the grade of the existing pipe

is below that of the new pipeline, sufficient lengths of the new line shall be deepened so as

to prevent the creation of any high spot or abrupt changes in grade. The new line shall be

laid at specified depth, except for the first joint adjacent to the connection, which shall be

deflected as necessary to meet the grade of the existing pipe. If sufficient change in

direction cannot be obtained by the limited deflection of the first joint, a fitting of the proper

angle shall be installed. Where the connection creates a high or low spot in the line, a

standard air release or blow-off assembly shall be installed as directed by the ENGINEER.

At the location or locations where the water main is to cross an existing street, the

CONTRACTOR shall trench the entire street to verify the details as shown on the plans

and determine if conflicts with other facilities occurs, prior to the installation of any pipe.


3-16

The ENGINEER has the right to modify the details of the crossing(s) as deemed necessary

by the ENGINEER.

In no event shall the new pipelines be connected to existing facilities until the new pipelines

have been successfully pressure tested, disinfected, and passed bacteriological testing by

CITY approved lab.

The Agency does not warranty the condition of existing facilities. It is the

CONTRACTOR’s sole responsibility to provide acceptable pressure testing at the new

installation.

At locations where hot tapping the existing water main is specified or required by the

ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall provide and install a JCM 462 stainless steel

mechanical joint tapping sleeve (or approved equal) on ACP water main at the location as

shown on the plans or as directed by the ENGINEER. The type of hot tap or gate valve

shall be submitted to the ENGINEER for approval.

On steel water mains, the CONTRACTOR shall provide and install pad and nozzle, tapping

sleeve or special sleeve as directed or approved by the ENGINEER, and all fittings, tools,

equipment, materials, joint materials, blocking, galvanized bolts, gaskets, gate or tapping

valve, hot tapping and all incidentals, including valve box and cover to hot tap existing

steel water mains at the location as shown on the plans. If required by the ENGINEER,

the CONTRACTOR shall repair the mortar lining inside the steel water main.

306-1.2.17 Connections to Existing Water Meters.


In cases where connections to existing meters are required, extreme care shall be exercised

by the CONTRACTOR when installing the ball valve on the customer side of the water

meter, as many customer services are in deteriorated condition. The CONTRACTOR shall

protect existing customer service lines and perform minor restorations, if needed, to restore

proper service.

Existing meter boxes shall be protected by the CONTRACTOR at all times during the

installation of the services. Any meter boxes damaged or destroyed by the

CONTRACTOR shall be replaced to the satisfaction of the ENGINEER by and at the

expense of the CONTRACTOR.

At the time the CONTRACTOR removes the water meter to install the ball valve, the City

Water Section may substitute a new or re-conditioned meter in its place, if new meters are

not called out. The Agency inspector will continue to coordinate this work with the

CONTRACTOR.

New water meters and service connection, complete in place, is included in the respective

bid item(s) for copper service.


3-17

Prior to disconnecting domestic water meters, the CONTRACTOR shall check for

electrical grounding with a meter or appropriate equipment, and notify the ENGINEER of

any electrical discontinuity should such a condition exists. The CONTRACTOR shall not

disconnect domestic services from the existing steel water main until the problem is

resolved by the Southern California Edison Company and as directed by the ENGINEER.

C = 0.50 for ductile iron pipe.

Prior to testing, the pipelines shall be flushed as specified hereinafter.

All flushing and disinfection shall be made in the presence of the ENGINEER or his

representative. The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER not less than twenty-

four (24) hours in advance of the actual time of flushing so that the ENGINEER may

observe the procedure.

When the pressure test, leakage test, chlorination or bacteriological test fail to meet the

requirements of the specifications, the CONTRACTOR shall make necessary repairs,

replacements, or repetition of procedures to conform to the specified requirements at his

own expense.

The CONTRACTOR shall have all flanged joints at valves or special fittings exposed for

visual inspection during the pressure test if requested by the ENGINEER. After the

pipeline has successfully met the pressure and leakage test requirements, the pipeline and

appurtenances shall remain filled and so maintained until accepted for use by the Agency.


3-19

All blow-offs, combination air valves, services and appurtenant facilities shall be tested

with the main line pipe.

Before testing, the backfill material shall have been compacted to the required compaction

to the ground surface. All concrete anchor and thrust blocks shall be allowed to cure

sufficient time to develop adequate resistance to thrust developed during testing (minimum

three days).

The CONTRACTOR takes all responsibility for locating leaks and repairing damage to the

pipe bedding, backfill and pavement section resulting from leaks discovered during the

pressure test or subsequent pipe failures.

All noticeable leaks shall be stopped regardless of the results of the test and all defective

pipes, fittings, valves and other accessories discovered in consequence of the test shall be

removed and replaced. Repair clamps of any kind or type shall not be allowed.

The pump, pipe connection, measuring devices, gauges and all other equipment, labor and

materials required for performing the leakage test shall be furnished by CONTRACTOR.

The ENGINEER may, however, use Agency’s measuring device in place of

CONTRACTOR’s equipment. In case of a difference in the measured leakage rate between

the measuring devices, the Agency’s measured leakage shall govern.

The test pressure shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipeline in a manner

approved by the ENGINEER.

The pressure test shall be maintained on the test section not less than four (4) hours.

Whenever test pressure falls an amount of 5 psi, it shall be restored. The CONTRACTOR

may at his convenience conduct a preliminary pressure test at any time prior to the specified

pressure test. The results of the preliminary test will not be considered by the Agency

except for information only.

The amount of water main footage to be tested at one time shall be determined by the

ENGINEER.

The leakage test shall be held concurrently with the pressure test.

Each section of the water main to be tested shall be slowly filled with water from the nearest

source by means approved by the ENGINEER and as specified in section 306.1.4.9. The

pipelines shall be filled with water and placed under a light pressure for at least twenty-

four (24) hours before the pressure test.

All air shall be vented from all high points in the water main before making any pressure

test. If outlets are not available, taps shall be made at the high points to expel the air by the

CONTRACTOR at his own expense. These taps shall be capped after testing.


3-20

All valves shall be tested for leak proof tightness after the mainline pressure test with the

test pressure on one side of the valve and atmospheric pressure on the other side.

306.1.4.7 Flushing and Disinfection.

306-1.4.7(A) General. Prior to acceptance of the lines by the Agency, the CONTRACTOR

shall furnish all labor, equipment, material and water for the proper cleaning and

disinfection of the pipelines. Disinfection shall be accomplished by chlorination of the

pipelines and appurtenances after passing the pressure and leakage tests. AWWA

Specification No. C651, Disinfecting Water Mains, and the following specific

requirements shall govern such disinfection procedures.

Service saddles with corporation stops in accordance with City Standard Nos. W-14 and

W-15 shall be installed on the line approximately every 500 ft. as directed by the

ENGINEER for bacteria sampling and testing. Testing from a device bolted to the top of

fire hydrant buries, and from blow-offs and copper services will also be permitted. Testing

directly from hydrants will not be permitted.

Generally, the water main shall be constructed short of proposed join location for testing,

disinfection, and flushing purposes. At these locations, the CONTRACTOR shall install a

Rockwell #481 pipe end cap or approved equal, with a 2" standard outlet for draining and

flushing purposes.

All flushing and disinfection shall be made in the presence of the ENGINEER or his

representative. The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER not less than twenty-

four (24) hours in advance of the actual time of flushing so that the ENGINEER may

observe the procedure.

When the pressure test, leakage test, chlorination or bacteriological test fail to meet the

requirements of the specifications, the CONTRACTOR shall make necessary repairs,

replacements or repetition of procedures to conform to the specified requirements at his

own expense.

306-1.4.7(B) Flushing. The new mains shall be flushed prior to chlorination or as directed

by the ENGINEER. The flushing velocity to be obtained for pipes shall not be less than

2.0 ft./sec.

The CONTRACTOR shall make all arrangements as necessary to provide the required flow

to obtain the minimum velocity with a 40 psi residual pressure. The CONTRACTOR shall

take due precaution in providing for adequate drainage from the site. The minimum

volume of water to be flushed, at required velocity, shall not be less than the 1.5 times

volume of the pipeline from the point of filling to the point of blow-off.

It is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to remove the flushing water or the

chlorinated water from the project area. Flushing water shall be discharged to the nearest

catch basin, and shall not be allowed to run in the gutter or street. The CONTRACTOR


3-21

shall de-chlorinate the water by chemical addition, exposure to sunlight or by other means

prior to disposal into the storm drain system. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for any

damage as a result of flushing operations.

306-1.4.7(C) Chlorination. Disinfection shall be done after the pressure and leakage tests

have been performed and accepted.

Chlorine used for disinfection shall be liquid chlorine (gas at atmospheric pressure).

the method of application and precautions outlined in Section 5.2, 5.3, 6.1, and 6.2 of

AWWA C-651 shall be followed, except as may be modified by the ENGINEER.

Chlorine shall be applied by the continuous feed method as outlined in Section 5.2 of

AWWA C-651, except as may be modified by the ENGINEER.

A chlorinating gas-water solution shall be injected into the pipeline at the beginning of the

test section through a chlorination outlet, blow-off, or air valve by the means of a gas

solution feeder chlorinator in combination with a booster pump, thus insuring treatment of

the entire line. The gas-water solution shall be fed slowly into the new line to produce an

initial minimum dosage of 50 ppm and a residual of not less than 25 ppm in all water within

the pipeline after a 24 hour period.

During chlorination the combination air valves will be removed and the riser pipe capped

after being filled with chlorinated water. Before reinstalling, the air valves will be

sterilized with a five percent hydrochlorite disinfecting solution. The air valves are to be

reinstalled after chlorination, but prior to the sanitary sampling.

Water used to convey the chlorine solution throughout the water main shall be obtained

from the existing distribution system. The rate of flow shall be so controlled that water

will flow slowly into the undisinfected main during the application of chlorine.

The end of the main being chlorinated shall be kept open and running during the application

of chlorine and until the desired concentration is reached, after which each fire hydrant (if

any), or any other connection to the water main shall be individually opened and flushed

with the chlorine solution. After the water main and all appurtenances thereto have been

loaded with chlorine to the proper concentration, the water source, chlorine feeder and all

other openings to the water main shall be closed. The initial minimum concentration shall

not be less than fifty (50) milligrams per liter of chlorine.

The chlorine content of the water shall be tested by the ENGINEER and if found to be less

than twenty-five (25) milligrams per liter after twenty-four (24) hours contact, the water

main and appurtenances shall be rechlorinated and held for another twenty-four (24) hour

period. No chlorination shall be started unless it can be completed by 1:00 p.m. on a

Thursday.


3-22

During the period of chlorination, all main line valves and blow-off valves shall be operated

to ensure that the discs and seats are fully open to chlorinated water.

Upon approval of the chlorine residual at twenty-four (24) hours by the ENGINEER, the

chlorine solution shall be flushed from the water main through each fire hydrant and blow-

off. Flushing shall continue until the chlorine residual is not more than five-tenths (0.5)

milligrams per liter as determined by the ENGINEER.

In no case shall chlorine solution over five-tenths (0.5) milligrams per liter be held in the

main or appurtenances for more than five days from the initial injection to the final

flushing.

Treatment and disposal of flushing water and chlorinated water is the sole responsibility of

the CONTRACTOR.

Coliform bacteria tests shall be taken twenty-four hours after final flushing. Procedures

and limits for Sampling and Testing shall conform to the AWWA C651. The CITY will

be responsible to pay for all necessary work to obtain the first round of Bacti test results.

If re-testing is required for any reason, the CONTRACTOR shall pay for all necessary

work to obtain Bacti samples results.

Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) shall be spaced as necessary

for proper delineation of the travel way. The spacing between delineators shall not exceed

50 feet. The minimum lane transitions shall be a 50 to 1 taper unless otherwise shown on

the plans. Double base delineators will be required.

If the portable delineators are damaged, displaced or are not in an upright position, from

any cause, said portable delineators shall immediately be replaced or restored to their

original location, in an upright position, by the CONTRACTOR.

Where construction detours and signing conflict with existing signing, the CONTRACTOR

shall cover existing signs in a manner approved by the Agency’s Representative. The

CONTRACTOR shall also provide temporary traffic delineation per 602 at the conclusion

of each working day, if not sooner, as directed by the Agency’s Representative, for any

centerline, painted median or lane line which is obliterated by construction.
