It is the intention of the City to construct improvements as shown and set forth on the plans
and detailed drawings, and in the particular locations shown on the drawings. All of the
work is particularly set forth in the plans and specifications, and all of said work, together
with all other work incidental thereto, is included.
The work includes the furnishing of all labor, materials, incidentals and equipment
necessary for Project No. 2021-01, Dune Palms Road Pavement Rehabilitation, and all
appurtenant incidental items. The Contractor shall be required to provide, at its own cost
and expense, all necessary insurance, as required by law or these specifications, and shall
pay the cost and expense of any and all incidental matters herein required.
2.0 EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Each bidder shall thoroughly examine and be familiar with those Contract documents
contained in the Project Manual, drawings and addenda, if any. The submission of a bid
shall constitute an acknowledgment upon which the City may rely that the bidder has
thoroughly examined and is familiar with the Contract documents. The failure or neglect of
a bidder to receive or examine any of the Contract documents shall in no way relieve him
from any obligation with respect to its proposal or to the Contract. No claim for additional
compensation will be allowed which is based upon a lack of knowledge of any Contract
documents.
3.0 INSPECTION OF SITE
Bidders are required to inspect the site of the work to satisfy themselves by personal
examination or by such other means as they may prefer, of the location of the proposed
work, and of the actual conditions of and at the site of work. If, during the course of its
examination, a bidder finds facts or conditions which appear to be in conflict with the letter
or spirit of the bidding documents, the Bidder may apply to the City, in writing, for additional
information and explanation before submitting its bid.
Submission of a bid by the bidder shall constitute acknowledgment that, if awarded the
Contract, it has relied and is relying on its own examination of (1) the site of the work, (2)
access to the site, and (3) all other data and matters requisite to the fulfillment of the work
and on its own knowledge of existing facilities on and in the vicinity of the site of the work to
be constructed under the Contract.
The information provided by the City is not intended to be a substitute for, or a supplement
to the independent verification by the bidder to the extent such independent investigation of
site conditions is deemed necessary or desirable by the bidder.
Instruction to Bidders 1110-1
4.0 INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
No oral representations or interpretations will be made to any bidder as to the meaning of
the Contract documents. Requests for an interpretation shall be made in writing and
delivered at least five (5) days before the time announced for opening the bids to:

City of La Quinta

uayon(c�laguintaca.gov — Email
Requests to clarify the source of materials, equipment, suppliers or any other such matter
which does not modify, change, increase, or decrease the scope of work requires no action
by the City other than a response to the bidder requesting the clarification. Requests to
clarify possible ambiguous or incomplete statements or designs, or any other such
clarification which modifies, changes, increases or decreases the scope of work, requires
issuance of an addendum by the City for the interpretation to become effective.
5.0 POSTPONEMENT OF OPENING

bids at any time prior to the date and time established in the Invitation to Bid.

represent a true unit price used in preparing the bid schedule totals (Bid Form). Unit prices
listed herein shall include material, installation and appurtenant work as is necessary to have

notice to the City, specifying, in detail, how the mistake occurred and how the mistake

Addenda issued during the time of bidding shall become a part of the documents furnished
bidders for the preparation of bids, shall be covered in the bids, and shall be made a part of
the Contract. Each bid shall include specific acknowledgment in the space provided of
receipt of all Addenda issued during the bidding period. Failure to so acknowledge may

unit price and an estimated quantity does not equal the extended amount quoted, the unit
price shall govern, and the correct product of the unit price and the estimated quantity shall
be deemed to be the amount bid. If the sum of two or more items in a bidding schedule
does not equal the total amount quoted, the individual item amounts shall govern and the
correct total shall be deemed to be the amount bid.
15.0 BID GUARANITY
The bid form shall be accompanied by a bid guaranty bond provided by a guaranty
company authorized to carry on business in the State of California for payment to the City
in the sum of at least ten (10) percent of the total amount of the bid price, or, alternatively,
by a certified or cashier's check, payable to the City in the sum of at least ten (10) percent
of the total amount of the bid price. The bid guarantee bond shall be provided on the form
included in Section 1220, BID GUARANTY BOND, of this Project Document. The amount
payable to the City under the bid guaranty bond, or the certified or cashier's check and the
amount thereof, as the case may be, shall be forfeited to the City as liquidated damages in
case of a failure or neglect of the bidder to furnish, execute, and deliver to the City the
required performance and payment bonds evidences of insurance; and to enter into,
execute, and deliver to the City the Contract on the form provided herewith, within ten (10)
calendar days after receiving written notice from the City that the award has been made
and the Contract is ready for execution.
The City shall retain all bid security until a contract has been executed or until the City
Council rejects all bids at which time all bid security not forfeited shall be returned to the
appropriate bidders.
16.0 QUALIFICATION OF BIDDER
Each bidder shall complete and submit with their bid Section 1230, CERTIFICATION OF
BIDDER'S EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS.
Upon the request of City, any bidder whose bid is under consideration for the award of the
Contract shall promptly submit satisfactory evidence showing the bidder's financial
resources, its construction experience, and its organization's availability for the
performance of the Contract.
Instruction to Bidders 1110-5
The bidder may be required to establish to the satisfaction of the City the reliability and
responsibility of the persons or entities proposed to furnish and perform the work described
in the Documents.
17.0 SUBCONTRACTORS
In accordance with California Public Contracting Code Section 4100, et. seq., each bid
shall have listed in Section 1240, PROPOSED SUBCONTRACTORS, the name, portion of
work to be performed, and location of the place of business of each subcontractor who will
perform work or labor or render service to the bidder in or about the construction of the
work or improvement, or of any subcontractor licensed by the State of California who, under
subcontract to the bidder, will specially fabricate and install a portion of the work or
improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the plans and specifications, in
an amount in excess of one-half of one percent of the bidder's total bid, or, in the case of
bids or offers for the construction of streets or highways, including bridges, in excess of
one-half of one percent of the bidder's total bid or Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00),
whichever is greater.
The Contractor shall perform, with its own organization, Contract work amounting to at least
50 percent of the Contract Price except that any designated "Specialty Items" may be
performed by subcontract and the amount of any such "Specialty Items" so performed will
be deducted from the Contract Price before computing the amount required to be
performed by the Contractor with its own organization. "Specialty Items" will be identified
by the Agency in the Bid or in the Special Provisions. Where an entire item is
subcontracted, the value of work subcontracted will be based on the Contract Unit Price.
When a portion of an item is subcontracted, the value of work subcontracted will be based
on the estimated percentage of the Contract Unit Price. This will be determined from the
information submitted by the Contractor, and subject to approval of the Engineer.
Failure to list subcontractors may render the bid non -responsive and may be grounds for
rejection of the bid. Failure to comply with the provisions of the California "Subletting and
Subcontracting Fair Practices Act" shall make the Contractor subject to the sanctions as set
forth in the Act.
18.0 BIDDERS INTERESTED IN MORE THAN ONE BID
No person, firm, or corporation, under the same or different name, shall make, file, or be
interested in more than one bid for the same work unless alternate bids are called for. A
person, firm, or corporation may, however, submit sub -proposals or quote prices on
materials to more than one bidder.
The City may reject the bids of the known participants in such collusion. Pursuant to Public
Contract Code Section 7106, bidders shall execute and furnish with their bids Section
1250, NON -COLLUSION AFFIDAVIT.

contain, in the bid item indicated, the amount included in its bid for adequate sheeting,
shoring, and bracing, or equivalent method, for the protection of life and limb in trenches
and open excavation, which shall conform to applicable safety orders. By listing this sum,
the bidder warrants that its action does not convey tort liability to the City, its consultants,
and their employees, agents, and sub -consultants.
20.0 WAGE RATES
Pursuant to provisions of the Labor Code Section 1770, et. seq., of the State of California,
the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations has ascertained the prevailing rate of
per diem wages of the locality in which the Work is to be performed and applicable to the
work to be done. These wage rates are available from the California Department of
Industrial Relations' Internet web site at: www.dir.ca.gov

tenders final payment to the bidder.

bidder's failure to comply with these procedures will constitute a waiver of any right to
further pursue a bid protest, including filing a Government Code Claim or initiation of legal
proceedings.

bidder it has determined to be the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid,

8. Except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party (as
hereinafter defined), the Contractor hereby assumes liability for and agrees to defend
(at Indemnified Parties' option), indemnify, protect and hold harmless City and its
Project Consultants, and Engineers, officers, agents, and employees ("Indemnified
Parties") from and against any and all claims, charges, damages, demands, actions,
proceedings, losses, stop notices, costs, expenses (including counsel fees), judgments,
civil fines and penalties, liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be
sustained or suffered by or secured against the Indemnified Parties arising out of or
encountered in connection with this Contract or the performance of the Work including,
but not limited to, death of or bodily or personal injury to persons or damage to property,
including property owned by or under the care and custody of City, and for civil fines
and penalties, that may arise from or be caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent or
other act or omission of Contractor, its officers, agents, employees or Subcontractors
including, but not limited to, liability arising from:
Contract 1300-2
1. Any dangerous, hazardous, unsafe or defective condition of, in or on the
premises, of any nature whatsoever, which may exist by reason of any act,
omission, neglect, or any use or occupation of the premises by Contractor, its
officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors;
2. Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of the premises by
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors under or
pursuant to the provisions of this contract or otherwise;
3. Any act, omission or negligence of Contractor, its officers, agents,
employees, or Subcontractors;
4. Any failure of Contractor, its officers, agents or employees to comply with any
of the terms or conditions of this Contract or any applicable federal, state,
regional, or municipal law, ordinance, rule or regulation; and
5. The conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions or negligence
referred to in Sub -subsections (1), (2), (3), and (4), existing or conducted
upon or arising from the use or occupation by Contractor on any other
premises in the care, custody and control of City.
The Contractor also agrees to indemnify City and pay for all damages or loss suffered
by City including but not limited to damage to or loss of City property, to the extent not
insured by City and loss of City revenue from any source, caused by or arising out of
the conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions or negligence referred to
in Sub -subsections (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5).
Contractor's obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost expense,
judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an
Indemnified Party. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of
this contract, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for
liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is
determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent
jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and
where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved,
the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of City.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to
those set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor or any other
person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the performance of
this contract. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from
others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible according to the
terms of this section.
Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional
obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This
obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding on the successors,
Contract 1300-3
assigns or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination of this contract or this
section.
This indemnity shall survive termination of the Contract or Final Payment hereunder.
This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Indemnified Parties
may have under the law or under any other Contract Documents or Agreements. In the
event of any claim or demand made against any party which is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain or apply any
monies to the Contractor under this Contract for the purpose of resolving such claims;
provided, however, City may release such funds if the Contractor provides City with
reasonable assurance of protection of the Indemnified Parties' interests. City shall, in
its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.
Approval of any insurance contracts by the City does not relieve the Contractor or
subcontractors from liability under Section 1340-1.0, Indemnification of the
Specifications. The City will not be liable for any accident, loss, or damage to the work
prior to its completion and acceptance.
9. Except as otherwise required, Contractor shall concurrently with the execution of
this contract, furnish the City satisfactory evidence of insurance of the kinds and in the
amounts provided in said Specifications, Section 1340-2.0, Insurance Requirements.
This insurance shall be kept in full force and effect by Contractor during this entire
contract and all premiums thereon shall be promptly paid by it. Each policy shall further
state that it cannot be canceled without written notice to the City and shall name the City
as an additional insured on the Commercial General Liability policy only. Contractor
shall furnish evidence of having in effect, and shall maintain, Workers Compensation
Insurance coverage of not less than the statutory amount or otherwise show a certificate
of self-insurance, in accordance with the Workers Compensation laws of the State of
California. Failure to maintain the required amounts and types of coverage throughout
the duration of this Contract shall constitute a material breach of this Contract.
10. Except as otherwise required, Contractor shall concurrently with the execution of
this contract, furnish the City a Milestone Schedule with a beginning date of 15 days
after the Notice of Award as provided in said Specifications, Section 4.2, Construction
Schedule. Contractor shall pay to City $500.00 liquidated damages per calendar day
that the Milestone Schedule is not provided.
11. Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to City $25.00 for each laborer, workman, or
mechanic employed in the execution of this Contract by said Contractor, or any
subcontractor under it, upon any of the work herein mentioned, for each calendar day
during which such laborer, workman, or mechanic is required or permitted to work at
other than a rate of pay provided by law for more than 8 hours in any one calendar day
and 40 hours in any one calendar week, in violation of the provisions of Sections 1810-
1815 of the Labor Code of the State of California.
12. In accepting this Contract, Contractor certifies that in the conduct of its business
it does not deny the right of any individual to seek, obtain and hold employment without
Contract 1300-4
discrimination because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical
handicap, medical condition, marital status, sex or age as provided in the California Fair
Employment Practice Act (Government Code Sections 12900, et seq.) Contractor
agrees that a finding by the State Fair Employment Practices Commission that
Contractor has engaged during the term of this Contract in any unlawful employment
practice shall be deemed a breach of this Contract and Contractor shall pay to City
$1,607.00 liquidated damages for each such breach committed under this contract.
13. Contractor also agrees that for contracts in excess of $30,000.00 and more
than 20 calendar days duration, that apprentices will be employed without
discrimination in an approved program in a ratio established in the
apprenticeship standards of the craft involved (Sections 1777.5 and 1777.6, Labor
Code of California). Contractors who willfully fail to comply will be denied the
right to bid on public projects for a period of six months in addition to other
penalties provided by law.
14. This Contract shall not be assignable by Contractor without the written consent of
City.
15. Contractor shall notify the City Engineer (in writing) forthwith when the Contract is
deemed completed.
16. In accepting this Contract, Contractor certifies that no member or officer of the
firm or corporation is an officer or employee of the City except to the extent permitted by
law.
17. Contractor certifies that it is the holder of any necessary California State
Contractor's License and authorized to undertake the above work.
18. The City, or its authorized auditors or representatives, shall have access to and
the right to audit and reproduce any of the Contractor records to the extent the City
deems necessary to insure it is receiving all money to which it is entitled under the
contract and/or is paying only the amounts to which Contractor is properly entitled under
the Contract or for other purposes relating to the Contract.
19. The Contractor shall maintain and preserve all such records for a period of at
least three years after termination of the contract.
20. The Contractor shall maintain all such records in the City of La Quinta. If not, the
Contractor shall, upon request, promptly deliver the records to the City or reimburse the
City for all reasonable and extra costs incurred in conducting the audit at a location
other than at City offices including, but not limited to, such additional (out of the City)
expenses for personnel, salaries, private auditors, travel, lodging, meals and overhead.
21. The further terms, conditions, and covenants of the Contract are set forth in the
Contract Documents, each of which is by this reference made a part hereof.

Except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party (as
hereinafter defined), the Contractor hereby assumes liability for and agrees to
defend (at Indemnified Parties' option), indemnify, protect and hold harmless City
and its Project Consultants, and Engineers, officers, agents, and employees
("Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, charges, damages,
demands, actions, proceedings, losses, stop notices, costs, expenses (including
counsel fees), judgments, civil fines and penalties, liabilities of any kind or nature
whatsoever, which may be sustained or suffered by or secured against the
Indemnified Parties arising out of or encountered in connection with this Contract
or the performance of the Work including, but not limited to, death of or bodily or
personal injury to persons or damage to property, including property owned by or
under the care and custody of City, and for civil fines and penalties, that may arise
from or be caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent or other act or omission of
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees or Subcontractors including, but not
limited to, liability arising from:
1. Any dangerous, hazardous, unsafe or defective condition of, in or on the
premises, of any nature whatsoever, which may exist by reason of any act,
omission, neglect, or any use or occupation of the premises by Contractor,
its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors;
2. Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of the premises by
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors under or
pursuant to the provisions of this contract or otherwise;
3. Any act, omission or negligence of Contractor, its officers, agents,
employees, or Subcontractors;
4. Any failure of Contractor, its officers, agents or employees to comply with
any of the terms or conditions of this Contract or any applicable federal,
state, regional, or municipal law, ordinance, rule or regulation; and
5. The conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions or
negligence referred to in Sub -subsections (1), (2), (3), and (4), existing or
conducted upon or arising from the use or occupation by Contractor on any
other premises in the care, custody and control of City.
The Contractor also agrees to indemnify City and pay for all damages or loss
suffered by City including but not limited to damage to or loss of City property, to
the extent not insured by City and loss of City revenue from any source, caused
by or arising out of the conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions
or negligence referred to in Sub -subsections (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5).
Contractor's obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-1
expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or
contributed to by an Indemnified Party.
However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this Contract,
Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability
attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is
determined by Contract between the parties or by the findings of a court of
competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively
negligent and where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the
liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or
percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor
or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the
performance of this Contract. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity
obligations from others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible
according to the terms of this section.
Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no
additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights
hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding
on the successors, assigns or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination
of this Contract or this section.
This indemnity shall survive termination of the Contract or Final Payment
hereunder. This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the
Indemnified Parties may have under the law or under any other Contract
Documents or Agreements. In the event of any claim or demand made against
any party which is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, City may, in its sole
discretion, reserve, retain or apply any monies to the Contractor under this
Contract for the purpose of resolving such claims; provided, however, City may
release such funds if the Contractor provides City with reasonable assurance of
protection of the Indemnified Parties' interests. City shall, in its sole discretion,
determine whether such assurances are reasonable.
Approval of any insurance contracts by the City does not relieve the Contractor or
subcontractors from liability under Section 1340-1.0, Indemnification. The City will
not be liable for any accident, loss, or damage to the work prior to its completion
and acceptance.
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-2

policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage
required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and
coverage required in this Contract and which is applicable to a given loss, will be
available to City.
Contractor shall submit coverage verification for review and approval by the City
upon execution of the Contract.

Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-5
Exercise of any of the above remedies, however, is an alternative to any other
remedies City may have. The above remedies are not the exclusive remedies for
Contracting Party's failure to maintain or secure appropriate policies or
endorsements. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting in any way
the extent to which Contracting Party may be held responsible for payments of
damages to persons or property resulting from Contracting Party's or its
subcontractors' performance of work under this Agreement.
2.4 General Conditions Pertaining to Provisions of Insurance Coverage by
Contracting Party. Contracting Party and City agree to the following with
respect to insurance provided by Contracting Party:
1. Contracting Party agrees to have its insurer endorse the third -party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials,
employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an
edition prior to 1992. Contracting Party also agrees to require all contractors, and
subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Contracting Party, or Contracting Party's employees, or agents, from
waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contracting Party agrees to waive
subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance
proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contracting Party and available or
applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to City or its
operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises.
Contracting Party shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g.
elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect
City's protection without City's prior written consent.
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-6
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Contracting Party's general liability policy, shall be delivered to
City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any
insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled
at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not
the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under
this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City
shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contracting Party or deducted from sums
due Contracting Party, at City option.
8. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contracting Party or any subcontractor, is intended to
apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other
insurance or self-insurance available to City.
9. Contracting Party agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party
involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contracting Party, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of
Contracting Party. Contracting Party agrees to monitor and review all such
coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is
provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contracting Party
agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged
in the project will be submitted to City for review.
10. Contracting Party agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein (with the exception of
professional liability coverage, if required) and further agrees that it will not allow
any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any
way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this
agreement to self -insure its obligations to City. If Contracting Party's existing
coverage includes a deductible or self -insured retention, the deductible or self -
insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review
options with the Contracting Party, which may include reduction or elimination of
the deductible or self -insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
11. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change
the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contracting Party ninety
(90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the Contracting Party, the City will negotiate
additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
12. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed
to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that
can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
13. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Contracting Party of non-compliance with any insurance
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-7
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive
any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
14. Contracting Party will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to
this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled
or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until
City executes a written statement to that effect.
15. Contracting Party shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein
expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with
other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has
been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter
from Contracting Party's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate
of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these
specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City
within five (5) days of the expiration of coverages.
16. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Contracting Party under this agreement. Contracting Party expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect
to City, its employees, officials, and agents.
17. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-
inclusive.
18. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
19. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this
Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs
the provisions of this Exhibit.
20. Contracting Party agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by
any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or
Contracting Party for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not
the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these
requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums
or other amounts with respect thereto.
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-8
21. Contracting Party agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Contracting Party arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the
duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
City.

where the nature of the completed Work is dependent on the method of
performance.
Except as provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents, neither the City, its
consultants, or the City Engineer will be responsible for or have control or charge of
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety
precautions and programs in connection with the Work. Except as provided
elsewhere in the Contract Documents, neither the City, its consultants, or the City

their agents, shall operate as a waiver of any provision of the Contract.
General Conditions 1400-20
Acceptance by the City, it consultants, or the City Engineer of any drawings,
methods of work, or any information regarding materials and equipment the
Contractor proposes to furnish in the Work shall not be regarded as an assumption
of risks or liability by the City, its consultants, or the City Engineer, or any officer or
employee thereof, and the Contractor shall have no claim under the Contract on
account of the failure or partial failure or inefficiency or insufficiency of any plan or
method of work or material and equipment so accepted. Such acceptance shall be
considered to mean merely that the City, its consultants, or the City Engineer has
no objection to the Contractor using, upon its own full responsibility, the plan or
method of work proposed, or furnishing the materials and equipment proposed.
5.2 City -Furnished Materials

If any part or portion of the work performed or material furnished under this Contract
shall prove defective and not in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications,
and if the imperfection in the same shall not be of sufficient magnitude or importance
as to make the work dangerous or unsuitable, or if the removal of such work will
create conditions which are dangerous or undesirable, the City shall have the right
and authority to retain such work but shall make such deductions in the final
payment therefor as may be just and reasonable.
6.0 PROGRESS OF THE WORK
6.1 Beginning of Work
The Contractor shall begin work within ten (10) days after receiving Notice to

Time shall be of the essence of the Contract. The Contractor shall prosecute the
work so that the various portions of the project shall be complete and ready for use
within the time specified in Paragraph 3000-1.6 TIME ALLOWED FOR

Contractor and the City that the Contract time for completion of the work described
herein is a reasonable time taking into consideration the average climatic and
economic conditions and other factors prevailing in the locality and the nature of the

General Conditions 1400-22
6.3 Delays
6.3.1 Notice of Delays - When the Contractor foresees a delay in the prosecution
of the Work and, in any event, immediately upon the occurrence of a delay,
the Contractor shall notify the City Engineer in writing of the probability of the
occurrence and the estimated extent of the delay, and its cause. The
Contractor shall take immediate steps to prevent, if possible the occurrence
or continuance of the delay. The Contractor agrees that no claim shall be
made for delays which are not called to the attention of the City Engineer at
the time of their occurrence.
6.3.2 Avoidable Delays - Avoidable delays in the prosecution of the Work shall
include delays which could have been avoided by the exercise of care,
prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor or its
subcontractors, at any tier level, or suppliers.
6.3.3 Unavoidable Delays - Unavoidable delays in the prosecution or completion
of the Work shall include delays which result from causes beyond the control
of the Contractor, and which could not have been avoided by the exercise of
care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor or his
subcontractors, at any tier level, or suppliers. Delays in completion of the
Work of other Contractors employed by the City will be considered
unavoidable delays insofar as they interfere with the Contractor's completion
of the current critical activity item of the Work.
6.3.3.1 Abnormal Delays - Delays caused by acts of God, fire, unusual storms,
floods, tidal waves, earthquakes, strikes, labor disputes, freight embargoes,
and shortages of materials shall be considered as unavoidable delays insofar
as they prevent the Contractor from proceeding with at least seventy-five (75)
percent of the normal labor and equipment force for at least five (5) hours per
day toward completion of the current critical activity item on the favorably
reviewed progress schedule.
6.3.3.2 Material Shortages - Upon the submission of satisfactory proof to the City
Engineer by the Contractor, shortages of material will be acceptable as
grounds for granting a time extension. In order that such proof may be
satisfactory and acceptable to the City Engineer, it must be demonstrated by
the Contractor that the Contractor has made every effort to obtain such
materials from all known sources within reasonable reach of the proposed
Work.
Only the physical shortage of material, caused by unusual circumstances, will
be considered under these provisions as a cause for extension of time, and
no consideration will be given to any claim that material could not be obtained
at a reasonable, practical, or economical cost or price, unless it is shown to
the satisfaction of the City Engineer that such material could have been
General Conditions 1400-23
obtained only at exorbitant prices entirely out of line with current rates, taking
into account the quantities involved and usual practices in obtaining such
quantities. A time extension for shortage of material will not be considered
for material ordered or delivered late or whose availability is affected by virtue
of the mishandling of procurement. The above provisions apply equally to
equipment to be installed in the work.
6.4 Time Extensions
6.4.1 Avoidable Delay - The City may grant an extension of time for avoidable
delays if the City deems it is in its best interest. If the City grants an extension
of time for avoidable delays, the Contractor agrees to pay the City's actual
costs, including charges for engineering, inspection and administration
incurred during the extension.
6.4.2 Unavoidable Delay - If the Contractor is delayed in the performance of its
work by an act of the City or if the Contractor is delayed in the performance
of its work by an unavoidable delay, then the Contract completion date may
be extended by the City for such time that, in the City's and City Engineer's
opinion, the Contractor's completion date will be unavoidably delayed,
provided that the Contractor strictly fulfills the following:
a. The Contractor shall provide notification, in accordance with Paragraph
1400-6.3.1, Notice of Delays and submit in writing a request for an extension of
time to the City Engineer stating at a minimum the probable cause of the delay
and the number of days being requested. The time extension request shall be
submitted in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 2000-4.3, TIME
IMPACT ANALYSIS.
b. If requested by the City Engineer, the Contractor shall promptly provide sufficient
information to the City Engineer to assess the cause or effect of the alleged
delay, or to determine if other concurrent delays affected the work.
c. Weather Delays. The Contractor will be granted a non-compensable time
extension for weather caused delays.
Should the Contractor fail to fulfill any of the foregoing, which are considered
conditions precedent to the right to receive a time extension, the Contractor
waives the right to receive a time extension.
Should the Contractor fail to complete the work within the time specified in the
contract, as extended in accordance with this clause if appropriate, the
Contractor shall pay to the City liquidated damages in accordance with Section
1500, Paragraph 1500- 2.1, Liquidated Damages.
General Conditions 1400-24
During such extension of time, neither extra compensation for engineering,
inspection, and administration nor damages for delay will be charged to the
Contractor. It is understood and agreed by the Contractor and City that time
extensions due to unavoidable delays will be granted only if such unavoidable
delays involve controlling operations which would prevent completion of the
whole Work within the specified Contract time.
6.4.3 Indirect Overhead - The Contractor shall be reimbursed for indirect
overhead expenses for periods of time when the Work is stopped due to
delays as defined in Paragraph 1400-6.3.3, Unavoidable Delay. However,
no reimbursement for indirect overhead shall be made for delays as defined
in Paragraphs 1400-6.3.3.1, Abnormal Delays; 1400-6.4.2c, Weather Delays;
or 1400-6.3.3.3, Material Shortages.
As a condition precedent to any reimbursement, the Contractor must fulfill all
conditions as provided in Paragraph 1400-6.4.2, Unavoidable Delay.
The reimbursement of indirect overhead is limited to those delay conditions
defined above when the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with
seventy-five (75) percent of the normal labor and equipment force for at least
five (5) hours per day toward completion of the current critical activity item(s)
on the current favorably reviewed progress schedule.
6.4.3.1 Indirect Field Overhead - For those allowable delay periods as defined in
Paragraph 1400-6.4.3, Indirect Overhead, the Contractor shall be
reimbursed for its indirect field overhead based on:
a. Invoices for all field office equipment.
b. Actual salary for field office staff.
c. Fair rental values acceptable to the City Engineer as described in Paragraph
1400-8.3, Force Account Payment for construction equipment idled due to the
delay.
6.4.3.2 Home Office Overhead - For those allowable delay periods as defined in
Paragraph 1400-6.4.3, Indirect Overhead, the Contractor shall be
reimbursed for its home office overhead based on the following formula:
Contract Bid Price divided by Contract Period Days x $0.03 = Daily Home
Office Overhead ($/Day)
General Conditions 1400-25
Such reimbursement shall be mutually agreed between the City and
Contractor to encompass full payment for any home office overhead
expenses for such periods of time for the Contractor and all subcontractors.
The Contractor agrees to hold the City harmless for any indirect overhead
claims from its subcontractors.
6.5 Temporary Suspension of Work
6.5.1 If the Contractor fails to correct defective work as required by Paragraph
1400-5.3, Defective and Unauthorized Work, or fails to carry out the Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents or any other applicable rules and
regulations, the City, by a written order of the City Engineer or a
representative specifically empowered to do so, may order the Contractor to
stop the work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been
eliminated; however, this right of the City to stop the Work shall not give rise
to any duty on the part of the City to exercise this right for the benefit of the
Contractor or any other person or entity. All delays in the Work occasioned
by such stoppage shall not relieve the Contractor of any duty to perform the
Work or serve to extend the time for its completion. Any and all necessary
corrective work done in order to comply with the Contract Documents shall
be performed at no cost to the City.
6.5.2 In the event that a suspension of Work is ordered, as provided in this
paragraph, the Contractor, at its expense, shall perform all work necessary
to provide a safe, smooth, and unobstructed passageway through
construction for use by public, pedestrian, and vehicular traffic, during the
period of such use by suspension. Should the Contractor fail to perform the
Work as specified, the City may perform such work and the cost thereof may
be deducted from monies due the Contractor under the Contract.
6.5.3 The City shall also have authority to suspend the Work wholly or in part, for
such period as the City may deem necessary, due to unsuitable weather, or
to such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the suitable
prosecution of the Work. Such temporary suspension of the Work will be
considered justification for time extensions to the Contract in an amount equal
to the period of such suspension.
The Contractor as directed by the City shall provide the provisions as
stipulated in Paragraph 1400-6.6.2 above. Such additional work shall be
compensated as provided for in Paragraph 1400-7.0, CHANGES IN SCOPE
nF WnRK
General Conditions 1400-26
6.6 Termination of Contract
If at any time the Contractor is determined to be in material breach of the Contract,
notice thereof in writing will be served upon the Contractor and its sureties, and
should the Contractor neglect or refuse to provide means for a satisfactory
compliance with the Contract, as directed by the City Engineer, within the time
specified in such notice, the City shall have the authority to terminate the operation
of the Contract.
Upon such termination, the Contractor shall discontinue the Work, or such parts of
it as the City may designate. Upon such termination, the Contractor's control shall
terminate and thereupon the City or its fully authorized representative may take
possession of all or any part of the Contractor's materials, tools, equipment, and
appliances upon the premises and use the same for the purposes of completing the
Work and hire such force and buy or rent such additional machinery, tools,
appliances, and equipment, and buy such additional materials and supplies at the
Contractor's expense as may be necessary for the proper conduct of the Work and
for the completion thereof; or the City may employ other parties to carry the Contract
to completion, employ the necessary workers, substitute other machinery or
materials and purchase the materials contracted for, in such manner as the City may
deem proper; or the City may annul and cancel the Contract and relet the Work or
any part thereof. Any excess of cost arising there from over and above the Contract
price will be charged against the Contractor and its sureties, who will be liable
therefore.
In the event of such termination, all monies due the Contractor or retained under the
terms of this Contract shall be held by the City in an escrow account; however, such
holdings will not release the Contractor or its sureties from liability for failure to fulfill
the Contract. Any excess cost over and above the Contract Amount incurred by the
City arising from the termination of the operations of the Contract and the completion
of the Work by the City as above provided shall be paid for by any available funds
in the escrow account. The Contractor will be so credited with any surplus remaining
after all just claims for such completion have been paid.
7.0 CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF WORK
7.1 Change Orders
7.1.1 Without invalidating the Contract and without notice to sureties or insurers,
the City, through the City Engineer, may at any time or from time to time,
order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Work; these will be authorized
by Field Directive, Field Order, or Change Order. A Change Order will not be
issued for a Field Directive unless the City Engineer concurs with an appeal
by the Contractor that such Field Directive is a change in the scope of the
Contract. The Contractor shall comply promptly with the requirements for all
Change Orders, Field Orders, or Field Directives. The work involved in
General Conditions 1400-27
Change Orders shall be executed under the applicable conditions and
requirements of the Contract Documents. If any Field Order causes an
increase or decrease in the Contract Amount or an extension or shortening
of the Contract Time, an equitable adjustment will be made by issuing a
Change Order. If the Contractor accepts a Change Order that does not
include a time extension, the Contractor waives any claim for additional time
for the work covered by that Change Order.
Additional or extra work performed by the Contractor without written
authorization of a Field Order or Change Order will not entitle the Contractor
to an increase in the Contract Amount or an extension of the Contract Time.
7.1.2 Extra work shall be that work not shown or detailed on the Contract Drawings
and not specified. Such work shall be governed by all applicable provisions
of the Contract Documents. In giving instructions, the City Engineer shall
have authority to make minor changes in the work, not involving extra cost,
and not inconsistent with the purposes of the work; but otherwise, except in
an emergency endangering life or property, no extra work or change shall be
made unless in pursuance of a written order by the City through the City
Engineer, and no claim for an addition to the total amount of the Contract
shall be valid unless so ordered.
7.1.3 In case any change increases or decreases the work shown, the Contractor
shall be paid for the work actually done at a mutually agreed upon adjustment
to the Contract price, based upon the provisions of Paragraph 1400-8.0
PROJECT MODIFICATION PROCEDURES
7.1.4 If the Contractor refuses to accept a Change Order, the City may issue it
unilaterally. The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of the Change
Order. The City shall provide for an equitable adjustment to the Contract and
compensate the Contractor accordingly. If the Contractor does not agree that
the adjustment is equitable, it may submit a claim in accordance with
Paragraph 1400-7.3.2, Claims.
7.2 Differing Site Conditions
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 7104, the Contractor shall promptly, and
before such conditions are disturbed, notify the City Engineer in writing, of any:
a. Material that the Contractor believes may be material that is hazardous waste,
as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code that is required to be
removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with
provisions of existing law.
b. Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated.
General Conditions 1400-28
c. Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, differing
materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as
inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract.
The City shall promptly, investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions
do materially differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or
increase in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part
of the work the City shall cause to be issued a change order under the procedures
provided in Paragraph 1400-7.1, Change Orders.
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. The Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by
Contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between
the contracting parties, Paragraph 1400-7.3, Resolution of Disputes.
No claim of the Contractor under this clause shall be allowed unless the Contractor
has given the notice required.
7.3 Resolution of Disputes
7.3.1 Contract Interpretation by the City Engineer - Questions regarding the
meaning and intent of the Contract Documents shall be referred in writing by
the Contractor to the City Engineer. The City Engineer shall respond to the
Contractor in writing with a decision.
7.3.2 Claims -Submission of a claim, properly certified, with all required supporting
documentation, and written rejection or denial of all or part of the claim by the
City, is a condition precedent to any action, proceeding, litigation, suit or
demand for arbitration by the Contractor.
7.3.2.1 Notice - If the Contractor disagrees with the City Engineer's decision in
Paragraph 1400-7.3.1, Contract Interpretation by the City Engineer, or in
any case where the Contractor deems additional compensation or a time
extension to the Contract period is due him for work or materials not covered
in the Contract or which the City Engineer has not recognized as extra work,
the Contractor shall notify the City Engineer, in writing, of his intention to
make claim. Claims pertaining to decisions provided in Paragraph 1400-
7.3.1 shall be filed in writing to the City Engineer within five (5) days of receipt
of such decision. All other claims notices for extra work shall be filed in writing
to the City Engineer prior to the commencement of such work. Written notice
shall use the words "Notice of Potential Claim". Such Notice of Potential
Claim shall state the circumstances and the reasons for the claim but need
General Conditions 1400-29
not state the amount. Additionally, no claim for additional compensation or
extension of time for a delay will be considered unless the provisions of
Paragraphs 1400-6.3, Delays, and 6.4, Time Extensions, are complied with.
No claim filed after the date of final payment will be considered.
It is agreed that unless notice is properly given, the Contractor shall not
recover costs incurred by him as a result of the alleged extra work, changed
work or other situation which had proper notice been given would have given
rise to a right for additional compensation.
The Contractor should understand that timely notice of potential claim is of
great importance to the City and is not merely a formality. Such notice allows
the City to consider preventative action, to monitor the Contractor's increased
costs resulting from the situation, to marshal facts, and to plan its affairs.
Such notice by the Contractor, and the fact that the City Engineer has kept
account of the cost as aforesaid, shall not in any way be construed as proving
the validity of the claim.
7.3.2.2 Submission of claim costs - Within 30 days after the last cost of work for
which the Contractor contends additional compensation is due, but if costs
are incurred over a span of more than 30 days, then within 15 days after the
thirtieth day and every month thereafter, the Contractor shall submit to the
City Engineer the costs incurred for the claimed matter. Claims shall be made
in itemized detail satisfactory to the City Engineer in content, detail and format
of presentation. If the additional costs are in any respect not knowable with
certainty, they shall be estimated. If the claim is found to be just, it shall be
allowed and paid for as provided in Section 1400-8.0, PROJECT
MODIFICATION PROCEDURES.
7.3.2.3 Affidavit required - All claims submitted to the City shall be accompanied
with a type written affidavit containing the following language: it must be
signed, dated, and notarized on the Contractor's letterhead:

declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the state of California, and
do personally certify and attest that: I have thoroughly reviewed the attached
claim for additional compensation and/or extension of time, and know its
contents, and said claim is made in good faith; the supporting data is truthful
and accurate; the amount requested accurately reflects the contract
adjustment for which the contractor believes the City of La Quinta is liable;
and further, that I am familiar with California Penal Code Section 72 and
California Government Code Section 12560, Et Seq, pertaining to false
claims, and further know and understand that submission or certification of a
false claim may lead to fines, imprisonment and/or other severe legal
consequences.
General Conditions 1400-30
7.3.2.4 Claim meetings - From time to time the City Engineer may call special
meetings to discuss outstanding claims. The Contractor shall cooperate and
attend, prepared to discuss outstanding claims, making available the
personnel necessary for claim resolution, and providing documents
reasonably requested by the City Engineer.
7.3.3 Resolution of Claims - For all contracts awarded during the effective dates
of Public Contract Code Section 20104, where claims cannot be resolved
between the parties, claims for three hundred and seventy-five thousand
dollars ($375,000) or less shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of that
code section, which is summarized in Paragraphs 1400-7.3.3.1 to 1400-
7.3.3.5. For claims greater than three hundred and seventy-five thousand
dollars ($375,000) Paragraphs 1400-7.3.3.2 to 1400-7.3.3.4 are applicable;

8.0 PROJECT MODIFICATION PROCEDURES
8.1 Changes in Contract Price
Whenever corrections, alterations, or modifications of the work under this Contract
are ordered by the City Engineer and approved by the City and increase the amount
of work to be done, such added work shall be known as extra work; and when such
corrections, alterations, or modifications decrease the amount of work to be done,
such subtracted work shall be known as work omitted.
The difference in cost of the work affected by such change will be added to or
deducted from the amount of said Contract price, as the case may be, by a fair and
reasonable valuation, which shall be determined in one or more of the following ways
as directed by the City Engineer:
a. By unit prices subsequently fixed by agreement between the parties;
b. By an acceptable lump sum proposal from the Contractor; or
General Conditions 1400-33
c. By Force Account (as described in Paragraph 1400-8.3, Force Account
Payment), when directed in writing and administered by the City through its
agents.
When required by the City Engineer, the Contractor shall submit, in the form
prescribed by the City Engineer, an itemized breakdown with supporting data of the
quantities and prices used in computing the value of any change that may be
ordered.
The City Engineer will review the Contractor's proposal for the change and negotiate
an equitable adjustment with the Contractor. After there is an agreement the City
Engineer will prepare and process the Change Order and make a recommendation
for action by the City. All Change Orders must be approved by the City in writing
before the work can be authorized and the Change Order executed.
The prices agreed upon and any agreed upon adjustment in Contract Time shall be
incorporated in the written order issued by the City, which shall be written so as to
indicate an acceptance on the part of the Contractor as evidenced by its signature.
By signature of the Change Order, the Contractor acknowledges that the
adjustments to cost and time contained in the Change Order are in full satisfaction
and accord, payment in full, and so waives any right to claim further cost and time
impacts at any time during and after completion of the Contract for the changes
encompassed by the Change Order.
8.2 Negotiated Change Orders
Under the methods described in Paragraph 1400-8.1 b and 8.1 c above, the
Contractor shall submit substantiating documentation with an itemized breakdown
of Contractor and subcontractor direct costs, including labor, material, equipment
rentals, and approved services, pertaining to such ordered work in the form and
detail acceptable to the City Engineer. The direct costs shall include only the payroll
cost for workers and foremen, including wages, fringe benefits as established by
negotiated labor agreements or state prevailing wages, workers' compensation and
labor insurance, and labor taxes as established by law. No other fixed labor burdens
will be considered, unless approved in writing by the City Engineer; the cost of
materials used and equipment delivered and installed in such work as substantiated
by appropriate documents; the cost of construction machinery and equipment based
on fair rental or ownership values acceptable to the City Engineer as described in
Paragraph 1400-8.3, Force Account Payment; and the cost of incidentals directly
related to such work. The direct costs shall not include any labor or office costs
pertaining to the Contractor's managers or superintendents, his office and
engineering staff and office facilities, or anyone not directly employed on such work,
nor the cost of rental of small tools as all such indirect costs form a part of the
Contractor's overhead expense.
General Conditions 1400-34
Under the method described in Paragraph 1400-8.1 b and 8.1 c the maximum
percentage which will be allowed for the Contractor's combined overhead and profit
will be:
a. For work by its own organization, the Contractor may add the following
percentages:
Direct Labor 25 percent
Materials 15 percent
Equipment (owned or rented) 15 percent
b. For all such work done by subcontractors, such subcontractor may add the same
percentages as the Contractor as listed in (1) above to its actual net increase in
costs for combined overhead and profit and the Contractor may add up to ten
(10) percent of the subcontractor's total for its combined overhead and profit.
c. For all such work done by subtier-subcontractors, such sub -subcontractors may
add the same percentages as the Contractor as listed in (1) above to its actual
net increase in costs for combined overhead and profit and the subcontractor
may add up to ten (10) percent of the sub -subcontractor's total for his combined
overhead and profit. The Contractor may add up to five (5) percent of the
subcontractor's total for its combined overhead and profit.
d. To the total of the actual costs and fees allowed hereinunder, not more than two
(2) percent shall be added for additional bond and insurance other than labor
insurance.
The above fees represent the maximum limits which will be allowed, and they include
the Contractor's and all subcontractors' indirect home office expenses and all costs
for cost proposal preparation.
When both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the combined
overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any, for each
area of work, i.e. direct labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractors. The
amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the City for any such change
which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease
and a credit in accordance with the markups allowed under the use of the method
described in Paragraph 1400-8.3, Force Account Payment. The Contractor shall
not claim for anticipated profits on work that may be omitted.
8.3 Force Account Payment
If either the amount of work or payment for a Change Order cannot be determined
or agreed upon beforehand, the City may direct by written Change Order or Field
Order that the work be done on a force account basis. The term "force account"
shall be understood to mean that payment for the work will be done on a time and
expense basis, that is, on an accounting of the Contractor's forces, materials,
General Conditions 1400-35
equipment, and other items of cost as required and used to do the work. For the
work performed, payment will be made for the documented actual cost of the
following:
a. Direct labor cost for workers, including foremen, who are directly assigned to the
force account work: Direct labor cost is the actual payroll cost, including wages,
fringe benefits as established by negotiated labor agreements or state prevailing
wages, workers' compensation and labor insurance, and labor taxes as
established by law. No other fixed labor burdens will be considered, unless
approved in writing by the City.
b. Material delivered and used on the designated work, including sales tax, if paid
for by the Contractor or its subcontractor.
c. Equipment rental, including necessary transportation for items having a value in
excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00).
d. Additional bond.
e. Additional insurance, other than labor insurance.
To the preceding costs, there shall be added the following fees for the Contractor,
subcontractor, or sub -subcontractor actually performing the work:
• A fixed fee not to exceed fifteen (15) percent of the costs of Items a, b, and c
above.
• To the total of the actual costs and fees allowed hereunder, not more than two
(2) percent shall be added for additional bond and insurance as the cost of Items
d and e above.
For work performed by an approved subcontractor, the Contractor may add to the
total of the actual costs and fixed fees allowed under the preceding paragraph an
additional fixed fee of five (5) percent of said total. No further compensation will be
allowed for the Contractor's administration of the work performed by the
subcontractor.
For work performed by a sub tier -subcontractor, the subcontractor may add to the
total of the actual costs and fixed fees allowed under the preceding paragraph an
additional fixed fee of five (5) percent of said total. No further compensation will be
allowed for the subcontractor's administration of the work performed by the sub tier -
subcontractor. The Contractor may add to the total of the actual costs and fixed fees
allowed under this paragraph an additional fixed fee of five (5) percent of said total.
No further compensation will be allowed for the Contractor's administration of the
work performed by the subcontractor.
General Conditions 1400-36
The added fixed fees shall be considered to be full compensation, covering the cost
of general supervision, overhead, profit, and any other general expense. The above
fixed fees represent the maximum limits which will be allowed, and they include the
Contractor's and all subcontractors' indirect home office expenses and all costs for
cost proposal preparation and record keeping.
The City reserves the right to furnish such materials and equipment as it deems
expedient, and the Contractor shall have no claim for profit or added fees on the cost
of such materials and equipment.
For equipment under Item c above, rental or equivalent rental cost will be allowed
for only those days or hours during which the equipment is in actual use. Payment
shall be based on actual rental and transportation invoices but shall not exceed the
monthly rate in the Rental Rate Blue Book. Owner -operated equipment rates shall
not exceed the monthly rate in the Rental Rate Blue Book plus the labor costs as
provided in Item a. above. The rental cost allowed for equipment will, in all cases,
be understood to cover all fuel, supplies, repairs, ownership, and incidental costs
and no further allowances will be made for those items, unless specific agreement
to that effect is made. For Contractor owned equipment, the rental rate shall be as
listed for such equipment in the California Department of Transportation publication
entitled "Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates", which is in effect on the
date the work is accomplished. When equipment is not listed in said publication, a
suitable rental rate for such equipment will be established by the City Engineer.
Prior to the commencement of force account work, the Contractor shall notify the
City Engineer of its intent to begin work. Labor, equipment and materials furnished
on force account work shall be recorded daily by the Contractor upon report sheets
furnished by the City Engineer to the Contractor. The reports, if found to be correct,
shall be signed by both the Contractor and City Engineer, or inspector, and a copy
of which shall be furnished to the City Engineer no later than the working day

Contract, the Contractor, may, at his or her option, choose to substitute
securities meeting the requirements of said Section 22300. In the event the
Contractor desires to choose this option, the Contractor shall enter into an
escrow agreement with the City, and the escrow agent, a qualified bank to be
chosen by City, in the form of the contract included in the project

securities shall be held in accordance with the provisions of Public Contract
Code Section 22300, and the implementing contract.
General Conditions 1400-40
Contractor shall have the obligation of ensuring that such securities deposited
are sufficient so as to maintain, in total fair market value, an amount equal to
the cash amount of the sums to be withheld under the Contract. If, upon
written notice from the City, or from the appropriate escrow agent, indicating
that the fair market value of the securities has dropped below the dollar
amount of monies to be withheld by the City to ensure performance,

5.2 Subsurface Variations
Based on the results of our subsurface exploration, variations in the continuity and nature
of subsurface conditions should be anticipated. Due to the variations in the nature and
depositional characteristics of earth materials, care should be exercised in extrapolating
or interpolating subsurface soil conditions between or beyond the exploration location.
5.3 Excavatability
Based on our exploratory borings, the soil is expected to be excavatable with conventional
heavy-duty earthmoving equipment, such as excavators, bulldozers, front loaders, and
specialized equipment for full depth reclamation, or complete removal and replacement.
6.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing was performed to evaluate the physical and engineering properties of
the subsurface soils. The testing is summarized below, and the results are provided in
Appendix B, Laboratory Testing Program.
6.1 Physical Test Results
In-situ Moisture and Dry Density – In-situ dry density and moisture content of the
soils were determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216 and D2937. Dry
densities within the upper 5.0 feet of soils along Dune Palms Road ranged from
86.6 to 107.3 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) with moisture contents ranging from 2.0
to 4.0 percent. Results are presented in the log of borings in Appendix A, Field
Exploration.
Expansion Index – One representative sample in boring BH-02 from within the
upper 5 feet of soils, was tested to evaluate the expansion potential in accordance

with ASTM Standard D4829. The results of the EI tests indicate a very low
expansion potential. The test results are summarized in Table No. B-1, Expansion
Index Test Results.
Maximum Dry Density and Optimum Moisture Content – Typical moisture-density
relationship test was performed on two representative soil samples in accordance
with ASTM Standard D1557. The results are presented in Drawing No. B-1,
Moisture-Density Relationship Results in Appendix B, Laboratory Testing
Program. The laboratory maximum dry densities tested were 108.5 pcf for the
sample at BH-02 and 120.8 pcf for the sample at BH-04. Optimum moisture
content was 14.3 and 9.8 percent respectively.
R-value – One representative bulk sample were tested in accordance with
California Department of Transportation test method 301. The results of the R-
value test is 70, and is summarized in Table No. B-3, R-value Test Results in
Appendix B, Laboratory Testing Program.
7.0 PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Field measurements as shown in Table No. 3, Summary of Subsurface Conditions
indicate varying thicknesses of both asphalt concrete (AC) and aggregate base (AB)
ranging from 3.5 to 6.0 inches and 4.5 to 7.5, respectively along Dune Palms Road. The
following sub sections briefly summarizes existing pavement conditions, provides new
asphalt concrete structural sections, and recommendations for pavement rehabilitation.
These recommendations are based on the results of our field exploration, laboratory
testing, our experience with similar projects, and data evaluation as presented in the
preceding sections. The recommendations may need to be modified based on
observation of the actual field conditions during construction.
7.1 Full Section Removal and Replacement
This section contains our recommendations regarding full section removal and replacement
for the proposed pavement rehabilitation along Dune Palms Road.
7.1.1 Subgrade Preparation
Areas receiving new asphalt concrete and base sections should be underlain by compacted
subgrade soils. Existing soils exposed below pavement replacement areas should be
scarified at least 12 inches, moisture conditioned as needed to near optimum moisture
content, and compacted to at least 95 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density (ASTM
D 1557) to produce a firm and unyielding surface.
Aggregate base materials should be moisture conditioned as needed to near optimum
moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of the laboratory maximum dry
density (ASTM D 1557) for support of new pavement sections. Aggregate base materials
shall conform to requirements for a Class II Aggregate Base (AB) and should be placed in

accordance with the requirements of the Standard Specifications for Public Works
Construction (SSPWC, Latest Edition).
Asphaltic materials should conform to section 203-1 “Paving Asphalt,” of the SSPWC and
should be placed in accordance with section 302-5, “Asphalt Concrete Pavement,” or
section 302-9, Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM), respectively, of the SSPWC.
7.1.2 Structural Pavement Design
The results of our subsurface exploration indicate the existing asphalt concrete roadway
sections are generally 3.5 to 6.0 inches thick and underlain by various thicknesses of
base material (see Table No. 3, Summary of Subsurface Conditions). The subgrade soils
encountered below the roadway pavement section are primarily composed of Sand with
Silt. The laboratory tested R-value result of 70 indicates a relatively high resistance to
deformation under traffic loads. It is understood that the design traffic index (TI) is 8.0
along Dune Palms Road between Miles Avenue and Fred Waring Drive. The traffic
indices were given by the City of La Quinta’s General and Standard Plan Number 195.
Based on this information, Converse performed a pavement analysis to evaluate section
thickness requirements for new pavement areas based on the given traffic index of 8.0.
Asphalt and base thickness results were determined using the Caltrans Highway Design
Manual, Chapter 630 with a safety factor of 0.2 for asphalt concrete/aggregate base
section and 0.1 for full depth asphalt concrete section. The required new asphalt
pavement sections are presented in Table No. 4, Recommended and Minimum Flexible
Pavement Structural Sections, per the design Traffic Index and a conservative design R-
value result of 50. Values are also given in the table below to show minimum pavement
structural sections from City of La Quinta General and Standard Drawing No. 195.

7.2 Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) with Mechanical Stabilization
The FDR with mechanical stabilization consists of pulverizing the existing AC layer with
the underlying aggregate base material, compacting it to create at least an 8.0-inch layer
of FDR, and overlaying with a new HMA layer thickness according to Table No. 4,
Recommended and Minimum Flexible Pavement Structural Sections. The properties of
this layer are considered to be similar to an aggregate base material with a modulus of at

least 25 ksi, which corresponds to an R-value of at least 70. An R Value of 50 was used
conservatively for design.
The FDR layer is achieved by pulverizing the existing asphalt concrete with aggregate
base, and or by also adding virgin granular or Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP)
materials to the pulverized mixture to meet the required pulverized base material
specification set by The Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green
Book) section 301-3.4.2.3. Please see Figure No. 3, Typical FDR Section with an
Elevation Restriction below.
Figure No. 3, Typical FDR Section with an Elevation Restriction
7.2.1 Pulverized Material Preparation
Pulverized materials should be moisture conditioned as needed to near optimum moisture
content and compacted to at least 95 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density
(ASTM D1557) for support of new pavement sections. According to section 301-2.3 of
the Greenbook, the compaction shall always be commenced along the edge of the area
to be compacted and the roller shall gradually advance toward the center of the area to
be compacted. Rollers shall be operated along lines parallel or concentric with the
centerline of the road being constructed, and no material variation therefrom will be
permitted. Existing asphalt concrete and base can be pulverized onsite and used as base
material. The pulverized materials should conform to Section 200-2.8 of the Greenbook
(latest edition) and should be placed in accordance with Section 301-2 of the Greenbook
(latest edition). If the existing pulverized pavement does not conform to Greenbook
specifications, refer to the section for full section removal and replacement. As a result
of the FDR process, there may be an excess of base and AC to be disposed to meet the
minimum AC thickness requirements and to match existing grade.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION
Our field investigation included a site reconnaissance and a subsurface exploration
program consisting of drilling test borings. During the site reconnaissance, the surface
conditions were noted, and the locations of the test borings were determined by rough
measurements relative to existing streets and boundary features and should be
considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used.
Four exploratory borings (BH-01 through BH-04) were drilled on June 28, 2022, to
investigate subsurface conditions along Dune Palms Road between Fred Waring Drive
and Miles Avenue. The borings were drilled to the maximum explored depth of 6.5 feet
below existing ground surface (bgs).
The borings were advanced using a truck mounted drill rig equipped with 8-inch diameter
hollow-stem augers for soil sampling. Soil encountered in the borings were logged by a
Converse representative and classified in the field by visual examination in accordance
with the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2488). The field descriptions have
been modified where appropriate to reflect laboratory test results.
Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained using California Modified Samplers (2.4
inches inside diameter and 3.0 inches outside diameter) lined with thin sample rings. The
steel ring sampler was driven into the bottom of the borehole with successive drops of a
140-pound driving weight falling 30 inches. Blow counts at each sample interval are
presented on the boring logs. Samples were retained in brass rings (2.4 inches inside
diameter and 1.0 inch in height) and carefully sealed in waterproof plastic containers for
shipment to the Converse laboratory. Bulk samples of typical soil types were also
obtained.
Following the completion of logging and sampling, all borings were backfilled with soil
cuttings, compacted by pushing down with augers using the drill rig weight, and surface
patched with cold asphalt patch. If construction is delayed, the surface may settle over time.
We recommend the owner monitor the boring locations and backfill any depressions that
might occur or provide protection around the boring locations to prevent trip and fall injuries
from occurring near the area of any potential settlement.
It should be noted that the exact depths at which material changes occur cannot always be
established accurately. Unless a more precise depth can be established by other means,
change in material conditions that occur between drive samples are indicated in the logs at
the top of the next drive sample.
For a key to soil symbols and terminology used in the boring logs, refer to Drawing No.
A-1a and A-1b, Unified Soil Classification and Key to Boring Log Symbols. For logs of
borings, see Drawings No. A-2 through A-5, Logs of Borings.

CEMENTATION/ Induration
A 1/8-inch thread cannot be rolled at any water content.
The thread can barely be rolled, and the lump cannot be formed when drier than the plastic limit.
The thread is easy to roll, and not much time is required to reach the plastic limit; it cannot be rerolled after
reaching the plastic limit. The lump crumbles when drier than the plastic limit.
It takes considerable time rolling and kneading to reach the plastic limit. The thread can be rerolled several times
after reaching the plastic limit. The lump can be formed without crumbling when drier than the plastic limit.

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
Tests were conducted in our laboratory on representative soil samples for the purpose of
classification and evaluation of their relevant physical characteristics and engineering
properties. The amount and selection of tests were based on the geotechnical
requirements of the project. Test results are presented herein and on the Logs of Borings
in Appendix A, Field Exploration. The following is a summary of the various laboratory
tests conducted for this project.
Moisture Content and Dry Density
In-situ dry density and moisture content tests were performed on relatively undisturbed
ring samples in accordance with ASTM Standard D2216 and D2937 to aid in soils
classification and to provide qualitative information on strength and compressibility
characteristics of the site soils. For test results, see the Logs of Borings in Appendix A,
Field Exploration.
Expansion Index Test
One representative bulk soil sample was tested to evaluate the expansion potential. The
test was conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard D4829. The test result is
presented in the following table.
Table No. B-1, Expansion Index Test Result
Maximum Density and Optimum Moisture Content Tests
Laboratory maximum dry density-optimum moisture content relationship tests were
performed on two representative bulk samples in accordance with the ASTM Standard
D1557 test method. The test results are presented in Drawing No. B-1, Moisture-Density
Relationship Results, and are summarized in the following table.
