specific brand or trade name. Unless specifically designated in this Contract, whenever any
material, process, or article is indicated or specified by grade, patent, or proprietary name or by
name of manufacturer, such Specifications shall be deemed to be used for the purpose of
facilitating the description of the material, process or article desired and shall be deemed to be
followed by the words "or equal."
Contractor may, unless otherwise stated, offer for substitution any material,
process or article which shall be substantially equal or better in every respect to that so
indicated or specified in this Contract. However, the City may have adopted certain uniform
standards for certain materials, processes and articles. Contractor shall submit requests,
together with substantiating data, for substitution of any "or equal" material, process or article no
later than thirty-five (35) days after award of the Contract. To facilitate the construction
schedule and sequencing, some requests may need to be submitted before thirty-five (35) days
after award of Contract. Provisions regarding submission of "or equal" requests shall not in any
way authorize an extension of time for performance of this Contract. If a proposed "or equal"
substitution request is rejected, Contractor shall be responsible for providing the specified
material, process or article. The burden of proof as to the equality of any material, process or
article shall rest with Contractor.
The City has the complete and sole discretion to determine if a material, process
or article is an "or equal" material, process or article that may be substituted. Data required to

material, process or article, and substantiates that it is an "or equal" to the material, process or
article. The substantiating data must also include information regarding the durability and
lifecycle cost of the requested substituted "or equal" material, process or article. Failure to
submit all the required substantiating data, including the signed affidavit, to the City in a timely
fashion will result in the rejection of the proposed substitution.
Contractor shall bear all of the City's costs associated with the review of
substitution requests. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs related to a substituted "or
equal" material, process or article. Contractor is directed to the Special Conditions (if any) to

remedied; (4) stop notices as allowed by state law; (5) reasonable doubt that the Work can be

the City for which Contractor is liable under the Contract; and (11) any other sums which the
City is entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Contract or pursuant to state
law, including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code. The failure by the City to deduct any
of these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to such
sums.
3.7.6 Substitutions for Contract Retentions. In accordance with California
Public Contract Code Section 22300, the City will permit the substitution of securities for any
monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under the Contract. At the request and
expense of Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the
City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in California as the escrow agent, and thereafter
the City shall then pay such monies to Contractor as they come due. Upon satisfactory
completion of the Contract, the securities shall be returned to Contractor. For purposes of this
Section and Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code, the term "satisfactory completion of the
contract" shall mean the time the City has issued written final acceptance of the Work and filed
a Notice of Completion as required by law and provisions of this Contract. Contractor shall be
the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any
interest thereon. The escrow agreement used for the purposes of this Section shall be in the
form provided by the City.
3.7.7 Title to Work. As security for partial, progress, or other payments, title to
Work for which such payments are made shall pass to the City at the time of payment. To the
extent that title has not previously been vested in the City by reason of payments, full title shall
pass to the City at delivery of the Work at the destination and time specified in this Contract.
Such transferred title shall in each case be good, free and clear from any and all security
interests, liens, or other encumbrances. Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge,
hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien,
security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items. Such transfer of title shall not
imply acceptance by the City, nor relieve Contractor from the responsibility to strictly comply
with the Contract, and shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for any loss of or damage to
items.
3.7.8 Labor and Material Releases. Contractor shall furnish City with labor and
material releases from all subcontractors performing work on, or furnishing materials for, the
Work governed by this Contract prior to final payment by City.

Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., ("Prevailing Wage Laws"), which require the payment of
prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and
"maintenance" projects. Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable "public

Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in

connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for
inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in
Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section,
Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice
specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section. Should
noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to City,
forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until
strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor
Commissioner. A contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding
wages on Public Works with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on Public Works

the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The
responsibility for compliance with this section is on Contractor. The responsibility for
compliance with this section is on Contractor. The requirement to submit certified payroll
