responsibility for future repairs due to settlement at and near the locations of the work area. Materials
testing must be performed under direct supervision of a California Registered Civil Engineer.
19. This permit is not valid until the permittee submits, to the Public Works Department 2 weeks prior to start
of construction, the name of the City approved contractor, who shall submit to the City the following items:
General Liability Insurance Company and Policy Number
City Business License
Contractors State License Number
20. The Applicant or Contractor shall furnish the City satisfactory evidence of insurance in the amounts
provided in Engineering Bulletin for Indemnification & Insurance Requirements. This insurance shall be
kept in full force and effect at all times by Applicant or Contractor during the prosecution of the permitted
work and updated Certificate of Liability Insurance shall be submitted to the City. Each policy shall name
the City as an additional insured.
21. If public traffic lanes are required to be closed, this permit is not valid until the permittee submits, to the
Public Works Department, a traffic control plan for review and approval prior to start of construction or
parking on the paved RJW.
22. Pursuant to Section 14.16.370 of the La Quinta Municipal Code (Ordinance 10 § 1 (part), 1982), backfill
compaction within Street rights-of-way shall conform with Section 306-1.3 of the latest edition of the
Standard Specifications For Public Works Construction (SSPWC), except as otherwise specified herein.
Native material may be used as backfill material provided that minimum compaction, achieved in the
manner prescribed herein, is achieved. Backfill shall be performed by mechanical means; no water
densified compaction via jetting or flooding or other means shall be allowed. It shall be the Permittee's
responsibility to provide appropriate geotechnical supervision, testing, and inspection, onsite, at all times
during backfill operations.
Backfill compaction shall be achieved by the following conditions:
A. When a firm foundation is not encountered due to soft, spongy or other unsuitable material, such
material shall be removed to the limits directed by the Geotechnical Inspector and/or the City
Inspector and the resulting excavation backfilled with pipe bedding material.

Backfill materials shall be brought to or maintained at appropriate moisture content for compaction.
The appropriate moisture content range shall be established at the onset of the project and ensured
prior to use of the materials through progress testing on the stockpiles.
The first length of trench backfilled shall be backfilled in the presence of the City Inspector.
Compaction shall be tested at random depths at approximate three-foot vertical intervals as backfill
is placed to ensure the effectiveness of the compaction methods and to establish the depth of lift
that can be compacted.
If lifts greater than one foot are attempted in this trial length of trench, compaction tests shall be
taken within the lifts to ensure that the full depth of the lift is compacted. Upon satisfactory
completion of this portion of trench, the City Inspector shall establish the maximum lift thickness to
be compacted for the remainder of the project.
In subsequent lengths of trench, the frequency of compaction tests shall equal one per each lift of
backfill, per 300 linear feet of open trench, at randomly selected locations within the open length of
trench.
The depth of the randomly selected compaction tests shall also be randomly selected except that
where multiple tests are required in a given length of trench, the tests shall be no closer than
three feet (vertically) from each other.
If any compaction test fails, previously placed backfill (in the same length of open trench or
previous lengths of trench) which is represented by the failing test (as determined by the City
Inspector), shall be tested for compliance with compaction requirements.
All costs incurred due to the conditions above shall be borne by the Permittee. Copies of all test
results shall be furnished to the City Inspector.
All excavations within City of La Quinta right-of-way shall be backfilled, and temporarily paved if
within the existing travel way, at the end of every workday as directed by and to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer for the protection of the public. Lengths of open trench shall not greatly exceed that
which can not be backfilled in the same day. Excavated trenches shall not be allowed open overnight,
however, Permittee may leave a length of excavated trench, not to exceed twenty (20) feet in length,
open overnight at a point where construction will begin the next day, provided that this length of
trench is completely covered by steel plating.
All landscaping, irrigation, decorative rock, decorative concrete, lighting, sidewalk, etc., shall be
replaced to its original condition.
Access and egress to all local properties shall be maintained at all times.

26. Pursuant to Section 14.16.375 of the La Quinta Municipal Code (Ordinance 10 § I (part), 1982),
permanent pavement replacement shall be completed no later than seven (7) days after the completion
of the work. Permanent pavement replacement shall conform to the following conditions:
Existing asphalt concrete pavement shall be sawcut one (1) foot beyond trench edges. Edges
shall be straight and clean.
Permanent pavement replacement structural section, within all trenches, shall be 1" thicker than
existing of asphalt concrete over the same existing thickness of crushed aggregate base or
crushed miscellaneous base, meeting the requirements of Sections 200-2.2 and 200-2.4 of the
Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. The replaced pavement and base
material shall be compacted to 95% relative compaction and respectively tested, for each 300
linear feet of trench. Verify exact structural replacement section thicknesses with the City prior
to installation.
Permanent pavement replacement shall be installed using a City approved 1/4" max medium
asphalt concrete as the base course lift and a City approved ½" max medium finish course lift for
capping. Asphalt concrete mix design shall be approved by the City prior to its placement.
Cold-Mill and Overlay - The existing pavement which was properly protected in place during the
trenching operation located adjacent to the trench saw cut shall be cold-milled to a depth of 0.10
feet with buttjoint created next to the existing unmilled pavement surface. The cold-milled area
and base asphalt concrete in the trench area shall be overlaid with a City approved C2-AR-4000
asphalt concrete mix. The width of the cold milling area shall be as follows:
For longitudinal trenches located in a parking lane: three (3) feet outside the sawcut
removal lines.
For longitudinal trenches located in a traffic lane: three (3) feet outside the sawcut
removal lines, or to the lane line striping, whichever is greater.
For transverse trenches across existing Street: two (2) feet outside the sawcut removal
lines.
If grinding and capping operations are not performed in the same day as base paving operations,
the base course lift of 3/4" max medium asphalt concrete shall be installed from saw-cut edge to
saw-cut edge flush with the existing street surface. The base course lift of paving shall not be
left 0.10' low in anticipation of grinding and capping.
Any existing lane striping or any existing detour lane striping affected by this resurfacing shall be
replaced in kind by the Permittee, as directed by and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Affected traffic signal loops shall be removed and replaced in kind. The finished pavement
surface shall be smooth, consistent, and shall conform to the surrounding grades.
27. Permittee shall permanently stabilize any and all soil that was disturbed as a result of work performed
under this permit with an approved dust control treatment. Soil stabilization shall be done
immediately after completing the operation.
