17-0801_DUDEK_Agenda Report_E9TO: FROM: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council ~Siegel, City Manager SUBMITTED BY: Steve May, Public Works and Utilities Director ~f(AA._ Ken Al-lmam, Chief Financial Officer d'L PREPARED BY: Michael Marquis, P.E., Associate Civil Engineer DATE: August 1, 2017 8/1/2017 E9 SUBJECT: Consideration of a Construction Contract, an Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement, and an Adjustment to Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Program for the Recycled Water Service Conversion Project (CIP 16601) (STL Landscape Inc., and Dudek) RECOMMENDATIONS : 1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Dudek for additional design services, to increase the contract amount by $2,280; and 2. Approve and Authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract with STL Landscape Inc. in the amount of $289,750, for the Recycled Water Service Conversions Project; and 3. Approve an adjustment to the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Program to reduce funding for the Non-Potable Water Pipelines Project (CIP 16602) by $54,300 (from $130,000 to $75,700); and 4. Approve an appropriation to Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Program to increase funding for the Recycled Water Service Conversion Project (CIP 16601) by $54,300 (from $266,700 to $321 ,000). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Recycled Water Service Conversion Project has been designed and advertised for construction, and award of a construction contract is now recommended. Additional funding in the amount of $54,300 is needed for the Project, and it is recommended that those funds be transferred from the Non-Potable Water Pipelines Project, with the expectation that the transferred funds will be replenished from Metropolitan Water City Council Agenda Report August 1, 2017 Page 2 of 4 District grant funds once the Project has been completed. It is also necessary to increase the project design contract with Dudek by $2,280, for additional hydraulic analysis that was beyond the initial scope of work. The locations of the conversions are shown on Attachment 1 . DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Recycled Water Service Conversion Project is intended to expand the use of recycled water produced in the local area and to reduce reliance on imported domestic water. The Metropolitan Water District (MWD) offers an incentive rebate that will offset approximately 25% of the construction cost of this project once the project has been completed and the rebate has been submitted and approved. The original project design included twelve sites and was bid for construction in January 2017. The bids received were significantly higher than the Project budget. Based on Utility Commission and staff recommendations, the City Council rejected all bids and approved Amendment No. 1 to the design contract with Dudek to revise and reduce the scope of the Project. The areas of conversion and the areas that were eliminated from the Project are shown on Attachment 1. The reduced scope Project was recently bid for construction and only one bid was received. The bid of $289,750 from STL Landscape Inc. is responsive and reasonable, and it is recommended that a construction contract for the Project be awarded to STL Landscape Inc. The contract amount, plus a 10% contingency, will require an additional $54,300 that can be transferred from the Non-Potable Water Pipelines Project with the expectation that an estimated $84,825 rebate from MWD will be available to replenish the Non Potable Water Capital Improvement Fund. It is recommended that the City Council transfer the additional needed funds from the Pipelines Project and award a construction contract to STL Landscape Inc. The conversion project costs and the necessary transfer of funds are further described in the Fiscal Impact Section of this report. In December 2013, the City completed construction of four projects that converted potable water irrigation accounts to recycled water use. A total of 68 accounts, including the Marbella Golf Course and various Homeowners' Association landscaped areas, were converted for an annual potable water offset that totals approximately 700 acre feet. The current project continues the City's water conservation efforts and would further offset potable water use by an estimated 87 acre feet each year. This is equivalent to 28.3 million gallons of additional potable water conserved annually. FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Program Recycled Water Service Conversion Project has a current balance of $266,700. The proposed construction cost for the project is $318,725, including a 10% contingency. Staff recommends a transfer of $54,300 from the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 budget for the Non-Potable Recycled Water City Council Agenda Report August 1, 2017 Page 3 of 4 Pipelines Project (CIP 16602) to the Recycled Water Service Conversions Project (CIP 16601) to provide sufficient funding to complete the Conversion Project. Both projects are funded by the Non-Potable Water Capital Improvement Fund. Staff will be applying to Metropolitan Water District (MWD) for grant funding through its On-site Retrofit Program (ORP), which offers $975 per acre foot of potable water offset by the conversion, resulting in a projected $84,825 in grant funding from MWD for this Project. The Project must be completed before the City is eligible to apply for monies through the ORP. The rebate funds would be deposited into the Non-Potable Water Capital Improvement Fund. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: On April 13, 2016, a Notice of Exemption for the Recycled Water Service Conversion Project, CIP 16601, was filed with the County Clerk stating that the project constitutes a Statutory Exemption per Public Resource Code Section 21080.08 Recycled Water Projects, and a Categorical Exemption per Class 2, Section 15302(c) Replacement or Reconstruction in accordance with Section 15061 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW : • On November 3, 2015, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Dudek in the amount not to exceed $106,020, for design of the Recycled Water Service Conversions Project. • On March 21, 2017, the City Council approved Amendment No 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Dudek in the amount of $10,000, for revisions to the Project design, rejected all construction bids received, and authorized staff to reduce the scope of the Project and to re-advertise and receive construction bids for the reduced scope Project. COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS : • On August 25, 2015, the Utilities Commission recommended that staff issue the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design of the Recycled Water Service Conversion Project, and that staff return to the Commission with a recommendation for award of a construction contract. • On October 20, 2015, the Utilities Commission recommended that the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement with Dudek in the amount not to exceed $106,020 for design of the Project. • On January 17, 2017, the Utilities Commission recommended that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Dudek in the amount of $10,000, for revisions to the Project design.

Hi Mike, To do a rough analysis at JSerra I'd estimate 4 hours of my time or $760 (pipe takeoffs, flow/demand estimate, calculations, email results). I'd actually like to do a little more of an accurate analysis by putting together a little hydraulic model as there are a couple spots that we could add short amounts of irrigation line to loop the system and a model would allow that to be analyzed really quickly once set up. I'd estimate 8 hours for that or $1520 (model set up, flow/demand estimates, model analysis, email results). Of course if we decide to redo the design then we can discuss further what that would entail. Analysis of the Sun Hollow HOA system will require an additional4 hours at $190/hour for a total not to exceed amount of $2,280. Thanks, ELIZABETH CALIVA, P.E.

Bid items included on the Bid Form may be deducted from the Work in their entirety without any negotiated extra costs. d. Contractor acknowledges that unit quantities are estimates and agrees that the estimated unit quantities listed on the Bid Form will be adjusted to reflect the actual unit quantities which may result in an adjustment to the Contract Unit Prices. Such an adjustment will be made by execution of a final additive or deductive Change Order following Contractor's completion of the Work. Upon notification, Contractor's failure to respond within seven (7) Days will result in City's issuance of a unit quantity adjustment to the Contract Unit Prices and/or Contract Time in accordance with the Contract Documents. e. The City or Contractor may make a Claim for an adjustment in the Unit Price in accordance with the Contract Documents if: i. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs by twenty-five percent (25%) or more from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Contract; and ii. there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and iii. Contractor believes that Contractor is entitled to an increase in Unit Price as a result of having incurred additional expense or the City believes that the City is entitled to a decrease in Unit Price and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase or decrease .. 3. Lump Sum Change Orders. Compensation for Lump Sum Change Orders shall be limited to expenditures necessitated specifically by the Additional Work, and shall be segregated as follows: a . Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of worker at the time the Additional Work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes and insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws, as well as assessment or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements. The use of a labor classification which would increase the Additional Work cost will not be permitted unless the Contractor establishes the necessity for such new classifications. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental. b. Materials . The cost of materials reported shall be at invoice or lowest current price at which such materials are locally available in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight, and delivery. Materials costs shall be based upon supplier or manufacturer's invoice. If invoices or other satisfactory evidence of cost are not furnished within fifteen (15) Days of delivery, then the City shall determine the materials cost, at its sole discretion. 61147.02100\20950242 .3 -84-00 72 13 -GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 35 of 60 c. Tool and Equipment Use. Costs for the use of small tools, which are tools that have a replacement value of $1,000 or less, shall be considered included in the Overhead and Profit mark-ups established below. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment use costs shall not exceed listed rates prevailing locally at equipment rental agencies, or distributors, at the time the Work is performed. 4. Time and Materials Change O rders. a. General. The term Time and Materials means the sum of all costs reasonably and necessarily incurred and paid by Contractor for labor, materials, and equipment in the proper performance of Additional Work. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by the City, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, and shall include only the following items. b. Timely and Final Documentation. i. T&M Daily Sheets. Contractor must submit timesheets, materials invoices, records of equipment hours, and records of rental equipment hours to the City's Representative for an approval signature each day Additional Work is performed. Failure to get the City's Representative's approval signature each Day shall result in a waiver of Contractor's right to claim these costs. The City's Representative's signature on time sheets only serves as verification that the Work was performed and is not indicative of City's agreement to Contractor's entitlement to the cost. ii. T&M Daily Summary Sheets. All documentation of incurred costs ("T&M Daily Summary Sheets") shall be submitted by Contractor within three (3) Days of incurring the cost for labor, material, equipment, and special services as Additional Work is performed . Contractor's actual costs shall be presented in a summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and special services. Each T&M Daily Summary Sheet shall include Contractor's actual costs incurred for the Additional Work performed that day and a cumulative total of Contractor's actual costs incurred for the Additional Work. Contractor's failure to provide a T&M Daily Summary Sheet showing a total cost summary within three (3) Days but within five (5) Days of performance of the Work will result in the Contractor's otherwise allowable overhead and profit being reduced by 50% for that portion of Additional Work which was not documented in a timely manner. Contractor's failure to submit the T&M Daily Summary Sheet within five (5) Days of performance of the Work will result in a total waiver of Contractor's right to claim these costs. iii. T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet. Contractor shall submit a T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet, which shall include total actual costs, within seven (7} Days following completion of City approved Additional Work. Contractor's total actual cost shall be presented in a summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and special services. Contractor's failure to submit the T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet within seven (7) Days of completion of the Additional Work will 61147.02100\20950242.3 -85-00 72 13 -GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 36 of 60 result in Contractor's waiver for any reimbursement of any costs associated with the T&M Summary Sheets or the performance of the Additional Work. c. Labor. The Contractor will be paid the cost of labor for the workers used in the actual and direct performance of the Work. The cost of labor will be the sum of the actual wages paid (which shall include any employer payments to or on behalf of the workers for health and welfare, pension, vacation, and similar purposes) substantiated by timesheets and certified payroll for wages prevailing for each craft or type of workers performing the Additional Work at the time the Additional Work is done, and the labor surcharge set forth in the Department of Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates, which is in effect on the date upon which the Work is accomplished and which is a part of the Contract. The labor surcharge shall constitute full compensation for all payments imposed by Federal, State, or local laws and for all other payments made to, or on behalf of, the workers, other than actual wages. i. Equipment Operator Exception. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be paid only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental. ii. Foreman Exception . The labor costs for foremen shall be proportioned to all of their assigned work and only that applicable to the Additional Work shall be paid . Indirect labor costs, including, without limitation, the superintendent, project manager, and other labor identified in the Contract Documents will be considered Overhead. d. Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be itemized at invoice or lowest current price at which materials are locally available and delivered to the Project site in the quantities involved, plus the cost of sales tax, freight, delivery, and storage. i. Trade discounts available to the purchaser shall be credited to the City notwithstanding the fact that such discounts may not have been taken by Contractor. ii. For materials secured by other than a direct purchase and direct billing to the purchaser, the cost shall be deemed to be the price paid to the actual supplier as determined by the City's Representative. iii. Payment for materials from sources owned wholly or in part by the purchaser shall not exceed the price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from said sources on Additional Work items or the current wholesale price for such materials delivered to the Project site, whichever price is lower. iv . If, in the opinion of the City's Representative, the cost of materials is excessive, or Contractor does not furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost of such materials, then the cost shall be deemed to be the lowest current 61147.02100\20950242.3 -86-00 72 13 -GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 37 of 60 wholesale price for the total quantity concerned delivered to the Project site less trade discounts. v . The City reserves the right to furnish materials for the Additional Work and no Claim shall be allowed by Contractor for costs of such materials or Indirect Costs or profit on City furnished materials. e. Equipment. i. Rental Time . The rental time to be paid for equipment on the Project site shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation on the Additional Work being performed and, in addition, shall include the time required to move the equipment to the location of the Additional Work and return it to the original location or to another location requiring no more time than that required to return it to its original location; except that moving time will not be paid if the equipment is used on other than the Additional Work, even though located at the site of the Additional Work . (a) Rental T ime Not Allowed. Rental time will not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns. (b) Computation Method. The following shall be used in computing the rental time of equipment on the Project site. (i) When hourly rates are paid, any part of an hour less than 30 minutes of operation shall be considered to be 1/2-hour of operation, and any part of an hour in excess of 30 minutes will be considered one hour of operation: (ii) When daily rates are paid, any part of a day less than 4 hours operation shall be considered to be 1/2-day of operation, and any part of an hour in excess of 4 hours will be considered one day of operation. ii. Rental Rates. Contractor will be paid for the use of equipment at the lesser of (i) the actual rental rate, or (ii) the rental rate listed for that equipment in the California Department of Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates, which is in effect on the date upon which the Contract was executed. Such rental rates will be used to compute payments for equipment whether the equipment is under Contractor's control through direct ownership, leasing, renting, or another method of acquisition. The rental rate to be applied for use of each item of equipment shall be the rate (i.e., daily, monthly) resulting in the least total cost to the City for the total period of use. If it is deemed necessary by Contractor to use equipment not listed in the publication, an equitable rental rate for the equipment will be established by the City's Representative. Contractor may furnish cost data which might assist the City's Representative in the establishment of the rental rate. iii. Contractor-Owned Equipment. 61147.02100\20950242.3 -87-00 72 13 -GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 38 of 60 (a) For Contractor-owned equipment, the allowed equipment rental rate will be limited to the monthly equipment rental rate using a utilization rate of 173 hours per month. (b) For Contractor-owned equipment, the rental time to be paid for equipment on the Site shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation, unless, in the instance of standby time, the equipment could be actively used by Contractor on another project, then City shall pay for the entirety of the time the equipment is on Site. It shall be Contractor's burden to demonstrate to the City that the equipment could be actively used on another project. iv. All equipment shall, in the opinion of the City's Representative, be in good working condition and suitable for the purpose for which the equipment is to be used. v. Before construction equipment is used on the Additional Work, Contractor shall plainly stencil or stamp an identifying number thereon at a conspicuous location, and shall furnish to the City's Representative, in duplicate, a description of the equipment and its identifying number and the scheduled Additional Work activities planned. vi. Unless otherwise specified, manufacturer's rating and manufacturer approved modifications shall be used to classify equipment for the determination of applicable rental rates. Equipment which has no direct power unit shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating recommended by the manufacturer. f. Special Services. Special work or services are defined as that Additional Work characterized by extraordinary complexity, sophistication, or innovation or a combination of the foregoing attributes which are unique to the construction industry. i. Invoices for Special Services . When the City's Representative and Contractor determine that a special service is required which cannot be performed by the forces of Contractor or those of any of its Subcontractors, the special service may be performed by an entity especially skilled in the Additional Work. Invoices for special services based upon the current fair market value thereof may be accepted without complete itemization of labor, material, and equipment rental costs, after validation of market values by the City's Representative . ii. Discount and Allowance. All invoices for special services will be adjusted by deducting all trade discounts offered or available, whether the discounts were taken or not. In lieu of Overhead and Profit specified herein, a total allowance not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) for Overhead and Profit will be added to invoices for Special Services. iii. When the City determines, in its sole discretion, that competitive bidding is necessary for certain special services, Contractor shall solicit competitive bids for those special services. 61147.02100\20950242.3 -88-00 72 13-GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 39 of 60 g.

The costs of applicable insurance and bond premium will be reimbursed to the Contractor and subcontractors at cost only, without mark-up. Contractor shall provide City with documentation of the costs, including, but not limited to, payroll records, invoices, and such other information as City may reasonably request. ii. For Work performed by the Contractor's forces, the added cost for overhead and profit shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Net Cost of the Work. iii. For Work performed by a subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the subcontractor's Net Cost of the Work to which the Contractor may add five percent (5%) of the subcontractor's Net Cost. iv . For Work performed by a sub-subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the sub- subcontractor's Net Cost for Work to which the subcontractor and general contractor may each add an additional five percent (5%) of the Net Cost of the lower tier subcontractor. v. No additional mark-up will be allowed for lower tier subcontractors, and in no case shall the added cost for overhead and profit payable by City exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Net Cost as defined herein, of the party that performs the Work. 5.

Allowance for overhead and profit, as specified herein, shall be applied if the net total cost is an increase in the Contract Price; overhead and profit allowances shall not be applied if the net total cost is a deduction to the Contract Price. The estimated cost of deductions shall be based on labor and material prices on the date the Contract was executed. 9. Contractor shall not reserve a right to assert impact costs, extended job site costs, extended overhead, constructive acceleration and/or actual acceleration beyond what is stated in the Change Order for Work. No claims shall be allowed for impact, extended overhead costs, constructive acceleration and/or actual acceleration due to a multiplicity of changes and/or clarifications. The Contractor may not change or modify the City's change order form in an attempt to reserve additional rights. 10. If the City disagrees with the proposal submitted by Contractor, it will notify the Contractor and the City will provide its opinion of the appropriate price and/or time extension. If the Contractor agrees with the City, a Change Order will be issued by the City. If no agreement can be reached, the City shall have the right to issue a unilateral Change Order setting forth its determination of the reasonable additions or savings in costs and time attributable to the extra or deleted work. Such determination shall become final and binding if the Contractor fails to submit a claim in writing to the City within fifteen (15) Days of the issuance of the unilateral Change Order, disputing the terms of the unilateral Change Order, and providing such supporting documentation for its position as the City may require. C. Change of Contract Times . 1. The Contract Times may only be changed by a Change Order. 2. All changes in the Contract Price and/or adjustments to the Contract Times related to each change shall be included in Contractor's COR pursuant to this Article. No cost or time will be allowed for cumulative effects of multiple changes.

Notice of the amount of the request for adjustment in the Contract Times with supporting data shall be delivered within seven (7) Days after such start of occurrence, unless City's Representative allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the request. No extension of time or additional compensation shall be given for a delay if the Contractor failed to give notice in the manner and within the time prescribed. 61147.02100\20950242.3 -91-00 72 13-GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 42 of 60 4. City may elect, at City's sole discretion, to grant an extension in Contract Times, without Contractor's request, because of delays or other factors . 5. Use of Float and Critical Path . a. Float is for the benefit of the Project. Float shall not be considered for the exclusive use or benefit of either the City or the Contractor. b. Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation, and City will not compensate Contractor, for delays which impact early completion. Any difference in time between the Contractor's early completion and the Contract Time shall be considered a part of the Project float. 6. Contractor's entitlement to an extension of the Contract Times is limited to a City- caused extension of the critical path, reduced by the Contractor's concurrent delays, and established by a proper time impact analysis. No time extension shall be allowed unless, and then only to the extent that, the City-caused delay extends the critical path beyond the previously approved Contract Time. If approved, the increase in time required to complete the Work shall be added to the Contract Time. a. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times for delays within the control of Contractor. Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Contractor. b. If Contractor is delayed in the performance or progress of the Work by fire, flood, epidemic, abnormal weather conditions (as determined by the City), Acts of God, acts or failures to act of utility owners not under the control of City, or other causes not the fault of and beyond control of City and Contractor, then Contractor shall be entitled to an time extension when the Work stopped is on the critical path. Such a non-compensable adjustment shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for such delays. Contractor must submit a timely request in accordance with the requirements of this Article. c. Utility-Related Delays . i. Contractor shall immediately notify in writing the utility owner and City's Representative of its construction schedule and any subsequent changes in the construction schedule which will affect the time available for protection, removal, or relocation of utilities. Requests for extensions of time arising out of utility relocation or repair delays shall be filed in accordance with this Article. ii. Contractor shall not be entitled to damages or additional payment for delays attributable to utility relocations or alterations if correctly located, as noted in the Contract Documents or by the Underground Service Alert survey. 61147.02100\20950242.3 -92 -00 72 13-GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 43 of 60 7. Conte nt for Requ est s for Contract Exte nsion . Contractor's justification for entitlement shall be clear and complete citing specific Contract Document references and reasons on which Contractor's entitlement is based. At a minimum, each request for a time extension must include: a. Each request for an extension of Contract Time must identify the impacting event, in narrative form, providing a description of the delay event and sufficient justification as to why the Contractor is entitled to a time extension. Contractor must demonstrate that the delay arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of both Contractor and any Subcontractors or Suppliers, or any other persons or organizations employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, and that such causes in fact lead to performance or completion of the Work, or specified part in question, beyond the corresponding Contract Times, despite Contractor's reasonable and diligent actions to guard against those effects. b. Each request for an extension of Contract Time must include a time impact analysis in CPM format, using the Contemporaneous Impacted As-Planned Schedule Analysis to calculate the impact of the delay event. 8. No Da mages for Reas on a bl e Del ay. a. City's liability to Contractor for delays for which City is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances. In no case shall City be liable for any costs which are borne by the Contractor in the regular course of business, including, but not limited to, home office overhead and other ongoing costs. b. Damages caused by unreasonable City delay that impact the critical path, including delays caused by items that are the responsibility of the City pursuant to Government Code section 4215, shall be compensated at the Daily Rate established in the Special Conditions. No other calculations, proportions or formulas shall be used to calculate any delay damages. c. City and City 's Representative, and the officers, members, partners, employees, agents , consultants, or subcontractors of each of them, shall not be liable to Contractor for any claims, costs, losses, or damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) sustained by Contractor on or in connection with any other project or anticipated project. 9. Contractor's failure, neglect, or refusal to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents, or any portion thereof, shall bar Contractor's request for extensions of the Contract Times. Such failure, neglect, or refusal prejudices City's and City 's Representative 's ability to recognize and mitigate delay, and such failure, neglect, or refusal prevent the timely analysis of requests for extensions of Contract Times, and whether such extensions may be warranted. Contractor hereby waives all rights to extensions of Contract Times due to delays or accelerations that result from or occur during periods of time for which 61147 .02100\20950242.3 -93-00 72 13-GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 44 of 60 Contractor fails, neglects, or refuses to fully comply with the requirements of this Article. ARTICLE 45. FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND PAYMENT A. The acceptance of the Work on behalf of the City will be made by the Engineer. Such acceptance by the City shall not constitute a waiver of defects. When the Work has been accepted there shall be paid to Contractor a sum equal to the contract price less any amounts previously paid Contractor and less any amounts withheld by the City from Contractor under the terms of the contract. The final five percent (5%), or the percentage specified in the notice inviting bids where the City has adopted a finding of substantially complete, shall not become due and payable until five (5) calendar days shall have elapsed after the expiration of the period within which all claims may be filed under the provisions of Civil Code section 9356. If the Contractor has placed securities with the City as described herein, the Contractor shall be paid a sum equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price less any amounts due the City under the terms of the Contract. B. Unless Contractor advises the City in writing prior to acceptance of the final five percent (5%) or the percentage specified in the notice inviting bids where the City has adopted a finding of substantially complete, or the return of securities held as described herein, said acceptance shall operate as a release to the City of all claims and all liability to Contractor for all things done or furnished in connection with this work and for every act of negligence of the City and for all other claims relating to or arising out of this work. If Contractor advises the City in writing prior to acceptance of final payment or return of the securities that there is a dispute regarding the amount due the Contractor, the City may pay the undisputed amount contingent upon the Contractor furnishing a release of all undisputed claims against the City with the disputed claims in stated amounts being specifically excluded by Contractor from the operation of the release. No payments, however, final or otherwise, shall operate to release Contractor or its sureties from the Faithful Performance Bond, Labor and Material Payment Bond, or from any other obligation under this contract. C. In case of suspension of the contract any unpaid balance shall be and become the sole and absolute property of the City to the extent necessary to repay the City any excess in the cost of the Work above the contract price. D. Final payment shall be made no later than 60 days after the date of acceptance of the Work by the City or the date of occupation, beneficial use and enjoyment of the Work by the City including any operation only for testing, start-up or commissioning accompanied by cessation of labor on the Work, provided that a release of liens and claims has been received from the Contractor pursuant to Civil Code section 8136. In the event of a dispute between the City and the Contractor, the City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed 150% of the disputed amount. E. Within ten (10) calendar days from the time that all or any portion of the retention proceeds are received by Contractor, Contractor shall pay each of its subcontractors from whom retention has been withheld each subcontractor's share of the retention received. However, if a retention payment received by Contractor is specifically designated for a particular subcontractor, payment of the retention shall be made to 61147.02100\20950242.3 -94-00 72 13 -GENERAL CONDITIONS ATTACHMENT 3 Page 45 of 60 the designated subcontractor if the payment is consistent with the terms of the subcontract. ARTICLE 46. OCCUPANCY The City reserves the right to occupy or utilize any portion of the Work at any time before completion, and such occupancy or use shall not constitute acceptance of any part of Work covered by this Contract. This use shall not relieve the Contractor of its responsibilities under the Contract. ARTICLE 47. INDEMNIFICATION To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend (with counsel of the City's choosing), indemnify and hold harmless the City, officials, officers, agents, employees, and representatives, and each of them from and against: A.

C. Any and all actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, fines, penalties or liabilities, in law or equity, of every kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of, resulting from, or on account of the violation of any governmental law or regulation, compliance with which is the responsibility of Contractor; D. Any and all losses, expenses, damages (including damages to the Work itself), attorney's fees, and other costs, including all costs of defense which any of them may incur with respect to the failure, neglect, or refusal of Contractor to faithfully perform the Work and all of Contractor's obligations under the agreement.
