HY Project No. 3980 Bids submitted by individuals must be signed by the bidder unless an up to date
power-of-attorney is on file in The District office, in which case, said person may sign for
the individual.
The above rules also apply in the case of the use of a fictitious firm name. In
addition, however, where a fictitious name is used, it must be so indicated in the signature.
3.
Modifications.
Changes in or additions to the bid form,
recapitulations of the work bid upon, alternative proposals, or any other modification of the
bid form which is not specifically called for in the contract documents may result in the
Charter School’s rejection of the bid as not being responsive to the Invitation to Bid. No
oral or telephonic modification of any bid submitted will be considered.
4.
Erasures, Inconsistent or Illegible Bids. The bid submitted must not
contain any erasures, interlineations, or other corrections unless each such correction
creates no inconsistency and is suitably authenticated by affixing in the margin immediately
opposite the correction the signature or signatures of the person or persons signing the
bid. In the event of inconsistency between words and figures in the bid price, words shall
control figures. In the event that The District determines that any bid is unintelligible,
inconsistent, or ambiguous, The District may reject such bid as not being responsive to the
Invitation to Bid.
5.
Examination of Site and Contract Documents. Each bidder shall visit the
Site of the proposed work and become fully acquainted with the conditions relating to the
construction and labor so that the facilities, difficulties, and restrictions attending the
execution of the work under the contract are fully understood. A mandatory site walk, if
required, will be noted in the Notice to Bidders. If a mandatory site walk is required, it
must be attended by a Principal of the company proposing to submit a bid or an
employee of the company who is a Construction Superintendent or a Project Manager.
Bids will only be accepted from bidders who were present at the site walk.
Bidders shall thoroughly examine and be familiar with the drawings and
specifications. The failure or omission of any bidder to receive or examine any contract
documents, form, instrument, addendum, or other document or to visit the Site and
become acquainted with conditions there existing shall not relieve any bidder from
obligations with respect to the bid or to the contract. The submission of a bid shall be
taken as prima facie evidence of compliance with this section. Bidders shall not, at any
time after submission of the bid, dispute, complain, or assert that there were any
misunderstandings with regard to the nature or amount of work to be done.
6.
Agreements, Insurance, and Bonds. The Agreement form which the
successful bidder, as CONTRACTOR, will be required to execute, and the form of the
Instruction to Bidders

bonds and insurance endorsements which such CONTRACTOR will be required to
furnish, are included in the contract documents and should be carefully examined by
the bidder. Payment Bond and Performance Bonds in the amount of one hundred percent
(100%) of the amount of the contract, along with the county clerk certificate of authority
and endorsements of insurance must be furnished as required in the contract, all prior to
execution of the contract.
7.
Interpretation of Plans and Documents. If any prospective bidder is in
doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the contract documents, or finds discrepancies
in, or omissions from the drawings and specifications, a written request for an interpretation
or correction thereof may be submitted to the Architect. The bidder submitting the request
shall be responsible for its prompt delivery. Any interpretation or correction of the
contract documents will only be made by addendum duly issued, and a copy of
such addendum will be mailed or delivered to each contractor receiving a set of
the contract documents. No person is authorized to make any oral interpretation of
any provision in the contract documents, nor shall any oral interpretation be binding on
The District. If discrepancies on drawings, or in specifications, or conflicts between
drawings and specifications are not covered by addenda, bidder shall include in the
bid methods of construction and materials resulting in the higher bid.
8.
Bidders Interested in More Than One Bid. No person, firm, or corporation
shall be allowed to make, or file, or be interested in more than one prime bid for the same
work unless alternate bids are specifically called for. A person, firm, or corporation that
has submitted a proposal to a bidder, or that has quoted prices of materials to a bidder, is
not thereby disqualified from submitting a proposal or quoting prices to other bidders or
making a prime proposal.
9.
Award of Contract. The District reserves the right to reject any or all bids,
or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any bids or in the bidding. The award
of the contract, if made by The District, will be by action of the governing board and to the
lowest responsible and responsive bidder therefor from among those bidders responsive to
the call for bids. In the event an award is made to a bidder, and such bidder fails or
refuses to execute the contract and provide the required documents not later than seven (7)
calendar days after award of contract, the Charter School may award the contract to the
next lowest responsible and responsive bidder or release all bidders. Each bid must
conform and be responsive to the contract documents as defined in the General
Conditions.
10.
Alternates. If alternate bids are called for, the contract may be awarded
at the election of the governing board to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder

independent contractors from any legal action including attorneys fees or other
proceeding based upon such act, omission, or breach.
Furthermore, CONTRACTOR agrees to and does hereby defend, indemnify and
hold harmless The District, Architect, Inspector, the State of California and their officers,

Liability for (1) death or bodily injury to persons; (2) damage or injury to,
loss (including theft), or loss of use of, any property; (3) any failure or
alleged failure to comply with any provision of law or the Contract

18.
Disqualification of Bidders and Proposals. More than one proposal for the
same work from any individual, firm, partnership, corporation, or association under
the same or different names will not be accepted; and reasonable grounds for believing

AGREEMENT
FORM
THIS AGREEMENT, entered into this
day of
2014 in the County of Yolo,
State of California, by and between the WASHINGTON UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, hereinafter called the
hereinafter called the CONTRACTOR.
DISTRICT, and
.
WITNESSETH that the DISTRICT and the CONTRACTOR for the consideration stated herein agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I - SCOPE OF WORK: The CONTRACTOR shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools,
and utility and transportation services, and perform and complete all work required in connection with the:
Southport Elementary School: Relocate Existing Portable Building
in strict accordance with the contract documents enumerated in Article 7 below. The CONTRACTOR shall be
liable to the DISTRICT for any damages arising as a result of a failure to comply with that obligation, and the
CONTRACTOR shall not be excused with respect to any failure to so comply by an act or omission of the
Architect, Engineer, Inspector, or representative of any of them, unless such act or omission actually prevents
the CONTRACTOR from fully complying with the contract documents and the CONTRACTOR protests, in
accordance with the contract documents, that the act or omission is preventing the CONTRACTOR from
fully complying with the contract documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and
filed with the DISTRICT office within ten (10) calendar days of the date of occurrence of such act or
omission preventing the CONTRACTOR from fully complying with the Contract Documents.
ARTICLE 2 - TIME OF COMPLETION: The DISTRICT may give notice to proceed within ninety (90) days of
the award of the bid by the DISTRICT. Once the CONTRACTOR has received a notice to proceed, the
CONTRACTOR shall complete the work in accordance with Document 003113. It is expressly understood
that time is of the essence.
In the event that the DISTRICT desires to postpone giving the notice to proceed beyond this ninety (90) day
period, it is expressly understood that with reasonable notice to the CONTRACTOR, giving the notice to
proceed may be postponed by the DISTRICT. It is further expressly understood by the CONTRACTOR, that
the CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any claim of additional compensation as a result of the DISTRICT’S
postponement of giving the notice to proceed.
If the CONTRACTOR believes that a postponement will cause hardship to it, the
CONTRACTOR may terminate the contract with written notice to the DISTRICT within ten (10) calendar days
after receipt by the CONTRACTOR of the DISTRICT’S notice of postponement. It is further understood by
the CONTRACTOR that in the event that the CONTRACTOR terminates the contract as a result of
postponement by the DISTRICT, the DISTRICT shall only be obligated to pay the CONTRACTOR for the
work performed by the CONTRACTOR at the time of notification of postponement.
Should the
CONTRACTOR terminate the contract as a result of a notice of postponement, the DISTRICT shall have the
authority to award the contract to the next lowest responsible bidder.
ARTICLE 3 - LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: It being impracticable and infeasible to determine the amount of
actual damage, it is agreed that the CONTRACTOR will pay the DISTRICT the sum of two hundred, fifty
dollars ($250) per calendar day for each and every day of delay beyond the time set forth in Article 2 of this
Agreement for completing said work as liquidated damages and not as a penalty or forfeiture. In the event the
same is not paid, the CONTRACTOR further agrees that the DISTRICT may deduct such amount thereof
from any money due or that may become due the CONTRACTOR under the contract. This Article shall not
be construed as preventing the DISTRICT from the recovery of damages under provisions of the contract
documents.
ARTICLE 4 - CONTRACT PRICE: The DISTRICT shall pay to the CONTRACTOR as full consideration for
Southport Elementary School:
Relocate Existing Portable Building
Washington Unified School District
Agreement Form
Document 005203, Page 1
HY Project No. 3980
the faithful performance of the contract, subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the contract
documents, the sum of
DOLLARS ($
), said sum being the total amount
stipulated in the proposal. Payment shall be made as set forth in the General Conditions.
Should any change order or construction change directive result in an increase in the contract price, the cost
of such change order or construction change directive shall be agreed to in advance by the
CONTRACTOR and the DISTRICT, subject to the monetary limitations set forth in Public Contract Code
Section 20118.4. In the event that the CONTRACTOR proceeds with a change in work without an
agreement between the DISTRICT and CONTRACTOR regarding the cost of a change order or a
construction change directive, the CONTRACTOR waives any claim of additional compensation for such
additional work.
ARTICLE 5 - HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT: CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless DISTRICT, Architect, Inspector, the State of California and their officers, employees, agents and
independent contractors from all liabilities, claims, actions, liens, judgments, demands, damages, losses, costs
or expenses of any kind arising from death, personal injury, property damage or other cause based or asserted
upon any act, omission, or breach connected with or arising from the progress of Work or performance
of service under this Agreement or the Contract Documents. As part of this indemnity, CONTRACTOR shall
protect and defend, at its own expense, DISTRICT, Architect, Inspector, the State of California and their
officers, employees, agents and independent contractors from any legal action including attorney's fees
or other proceeding based upon such act, omission, or breach.
Furthermore, CONTRACTOR agrees to and does hereby defend, indemnify and hold harmless DISTRICT,
Architect, Inspector, the State of California and their officers, employees, agents and independent contractors
from every claim or demand made, and every liability, loss, damage, expense or attorneys fees of any nature
whatsoever, which may be incurred by reason of:

loss of use of, any property; (3) any failure or alleged failure to comply with any provision of law or the
Contract Documents; or (4) other loss, damage or expense, sustained by any person, firm or

whether said injury or damage occurs either on or off DISTRICT property, but not for any loss, injury,
death or damages caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the DISTRICT.
(c) Any dispute between CONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR'S subcontractors/supplies/sureties,
including, but not limited to, any stop notice actions.
CONTRACTOR, at CONTRACTOR'S own expense, cost, and risk, shall defend any and all claims,
actions, suits, or other proceedings that may be brought or instituted against the DISTRICT, its officers,
agents or employees, on any such claim or liability, and shall pay or satisfy any judgment that may be
rendered against the DISTRICT, its officers, agents or employees in any action, suit or other proceedings as a
result thereof.

CONTRACTOR’S CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
3.8.1
Requirements
(a)
Not later than s e v e n ( 7 ) d a y s a f t e r c o n t r a c t e x e c u t i o n , Contractor shall
submit a progress schedule for DISTRICT'S approval. The schedule shall not exceed time limits set forth
General Conditions
Page 16, Document 007000
Southport Elementary School:
Relocate Existing Portable Building
Washington Unified School District
HY Project No. 3980
in the Contract Documents and shall comply with all of the scheduling requirements as set forth in the
Specifications. Failure to submit a schedule or submittal of a schedule which shows completion of
the Work beyond the specified completion date shall be deemed a material breach by the Contractor. The
schedule must indicate the beginning and completion of all phases of construction and shall use the
“critical path method” (commonly called CPM) for the value reporting, planning and scheduling, of all Work
required under the Contract Documents.
The scheduling is necessary for the DISTRICT’S adequate
monitoring of the progress of the Work and shall be prepared in accordance with the time frame
described in Article 8 of the General Conditions. The architect may disapprove of any schedule or require
modification to it if, in the opinion of the Architect or DISTRICT, adherence to the progress schedule will
not cause the Work to be completed in accordance with the Agreement.
(b)
Contractor shall not submit a schedule showing early completion without indicating float time
through the date set for Project completion by DISTRICT. Contractor's schedule shall account for all days
past early completion as float which belongs to both DISTRICT and Contractor. Usage of float shall not
entitle Contractor to any delay claim or damages due to delay.
(c)
Contractor shall not be granted an extension of time for failure to obtain necessary approvals for
deferral approvals due to failure to comply with laws, building codes, and other regulations (including Title
24 of the California Code of Regulations). Contractor shall schedule all deferred approval items and shop
drawings in its progress schedule.
If Contractor fails to include deferred approval items and shop
drawings in its schedule which results in a critical path delay, then Contractor shall be subject to the
assessment of liquidated damages.
(d)
In addition to providing a schedule update every thirty (30) calendar days, the Contractor, if
requested by the Architect or DISTRICT, shall provide revised schedules within ten (10) calendar days if,
at any time, the Architect or DISTRICT, consider the completion date to be in jeopardy because of
“activities behind schedule.” The additional schedule shall include a new arrow or precedence diagram
and schedule reports conforming to the requirements above, designed to show how the Contractor intends
to accomplish the Work to meet the completion date. The form and method employed by the
Contractor shall be the same as for the original initial schedule. The Contractor shall modify any portions
of the schedule that become infeasible because of “activities behind schedule” or for any other valid
reason. An activity that cannot be completed by its original latest completion date shall be deemed
to be behind schedule. If Contractor submits a revised schedule showing an earlier completion date for
the Project, Architect’s acceptance of this revised schedule shall not entitle Contractor to any delay claim
or damages in any way related to any such revised schedule.
3.8.2
Failure to Meet Requirements
Failure of the Contractor to provide proper schedules as required by this Article and Article 9 is a material
breach of the contract and grounds for termination pursuant to Article 14. The DISTRICT, at its sole discretion, may
choose, instead, to withhold, in whole or in part, any progress payments or retention amounts otherwise payable to
the Contractor.

is specifically outlined in Contract Documents except as specifically authorized by the Architect or through an
accepted substitution pursuant to paragraph 3.10.4. All deviations from the Contract Documents shall be
narratively described in a transmittal accompanying the shop drawings. However, shop drawings shall not be
used as a means of requesting a substitution, the procedure for which is defined in paragraph 3.10.4,
“Substitutions.” Review by DISTRICT and Architect shall not relieve the Contractor or any Subcontractor from its
responsibility in preparing and submitting proper shop drawings in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any
submission, which in Architect’s opinion is incomplete, contains errors, or has been checked superficially, will
be returned without review by the Architect for resubmission by the Contractor. Contractor shall stamp, sign,

Architect will review and approve shop drawings, product data, samples, etc., for aesthetics and for conformance
with the design concept of the Work and the information in the Contract Documents. The Architect’s review shall
neither be construed as a complete check which relieves the Contractor, Subcontractor, manufacturer, fabricator, or
supplier from responsibility for any deficiency that may exist or from any departures or deviations from the
requirements of the Contract Documents unless the Contractor has, in writing, called the Architect’s attention to the
deviations at the time of submission. The Architect’s review shall not relieve the Contractor or Subcontractors
from responsibility for errors of any sort in shop drawings or schedules, for proper fitting of the Work,
coordination of the differing subcontractor trades and shop drawings and Work which is not indicated on the shop
drawings at the time of submission of shop drawings. Contractor and Subcontractors shall be solely responsible

by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the same obligations and
responsibilities, assumed by Contractor pursuant to the Contract Documents. Each subcontract agreement shall
preserve and protect the rights of the DISTRICT and the Architect under the Contract Documents with respect to
the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights. Where
appropriate, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Subsubcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution

DISTRICT’S
RIGHT
TO
PERFORM
CONSTRUCTION
AND
TO
AWARD
SEPARATE CONTRACTS
6.1.1
Separate Contracts
(a)
DISTRICT reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with this Work. Contractor shall
afford other contractors reasonable opportunity for (1) introduction and storage of their materials; (2)
access to the Work; and (3) execution of their work. Contractor shall properly connect and coordinate
its work with that of other Contractors.
(b)
If any part of Contractor's Work depends on proper execution or results of any other
contractor, the Contractor shall inspect and within ten (10) calendar days or less, report to Architect, in
writing, any defects in such work that render it unsuitable for proper execution of Contractor's work.
Contractor will be held accountable for damages to DISTRICT for that work which it failed to inspect or
should have inspected. Contractor’s failure to inspect and report shall constitute its acceptance of other
contractors’ work as fit and proper for reception of its work, except as to defects which may develop in
other contractors’ work after execution of Contractor’s work.
(c)
To ensure proper execution of its subsequent Work, Contractor shall measure and inspect Work
already in place and shall at once report to the Architect in writing any discrepancy between executed
Work as built and the Contract Documents.
(d)
Contractor shall ascertain to its own satisfaction the scope of the Project and nature of
any other contracts that have been or may be awarded by DISTRICT in prosecution of the
Project and the potential impact of such work on Contractor’s schedule.
(e)
Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted as granting to Contractor the exclusive
occupancy at the Site of Project. Contractor shall not cause any unnecessary hindrance or delay to any
other contractor working on the Project Site. If execution of any contract by the DISTRICT is likely to
cause interference with Contractor’s performance of its contract, DISTRICT shall decide which contractor
shall cease work temporarily and which contractor shall continue, or whether work can be coordinated so
that contractors may proceed simultaneously.
(f)
DISTRICT shall not be responsible for any damages suffered or extra costs incurred by
Contractor resulting directly or indirectly from award or performance or attempted performance of any
other contract or contracts at the Project, or caused by any decision or omission of DISTRICT respecting
the order of precedence in performance of contracts.
CONTRACTOR IS AWARE THAT THIS CONTRACT MAY BE SPLIT INTO SEVERAL
PHASES. IF THE CONTRACT IS SPLIT INTO PHASES THEN CONTRACTOR HAS
MADE ALLOWANCE FOR ANY DELAYS OR DAMAGES WHICH MAY ARISE FROM
COORDINATION WITH CONTRACTORS FOR OTHER PHASES. IF ANY DELAYS
SHOULD
ARISE FROM ANOTHER CONTRACTOR WORKING
ON
A
DIFFERENT PHASE, THE CONTRACTOR’S SOLE REMEDY FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING DELAY DAMAGES, SHALL BE AGAINST THE CONTRACTOR WHO
CAUSED SUCH DAMAGE AND NOT THE District. CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE
ACCESS TO OTHER CONTRACTORS FOR OTHER PHASES AS NECESSARY TO
PREVENT DELAYS AND DAMAGES TO OTHER CONTRACTORS WORKING ON
OTHER PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION.

DISTRICT in reviewing their construction schedules when directed to do so. The Contractor shall make any
revisions to the construction schedule and Contract Sum deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual
agreement. The construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Contractor, separate
contractors, and the DISTRICT until subsequently revised. Additionally, Contractor shall coordinate with
Architect and DISTRICT inspector to ensure timely and proper progress of work.
In the event any other contractor is awarded a contract to perform work at the Project Site, the
Contractor shall provide such other contractor(s), in addition to the DISTRICT, the Architect, Engineers and the

CHANGES
7.1.1
No Changes without Authorization
There shall be no change whatsoever in the drawings, specifications, or in the Work without an executed
Change Order, Construction Change Directive, or order by the Architect for a minor change in the Work as herein
provided. DISTRICT shall not be liable for the cost of any extra work or any substitutions, changes, additions,
omissions, or deviations from the Drawings and Specifications unless the DISTRICT’s Governing Board has
authorized the same and the cost thereof approved in writing by Change Order or executed Construction
Change Directive. No extension of time for performance of the Work shall be allowed hereunder unless claim for
such extension is made at the time changes in the Work are ordered, and such time duly adjusted in writing in the
Change Order.
The provisions of the Contract Documents shall apply to all such changes, additions, and
omissions with the same effect as if originally embodied in the Drawings and Specifications. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article 7, all Change Orders shall be prepared and issued by the Architect and
shall become effective when executed by the DISTRICT’S Governing Board, the Architect, and the Contractor.
Should any Change Order or Construction Change Directive result in an increase in the Contract price, the
cost of such Change Order or Construction Change Directive shall be agreed to, in writing, in advance by
Contractor and DISTRICT and be subject to the monetary limitations set forth in Public Contract Code
Section 20118.4.
In the event that Contractor proceeds with any change in Work without first notifying
DISTRICT and obtaining the Architect’s and DISTRICT’S consent
to
a change order or a construction
change directive, Contractor waives any claim of additional compensation for such additional work.
CONTRACTOR UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES, AND AGREES THAT THE REASON
FOR THIS NOTICE REQUIREMENT IS SO THAT District MAY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ANALYZE THE WORK AND DECIDE WHETHER THE District SHALL PROCEED WITH
THE CHANGE ORDER OR CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVE, OR ALTER THE
PROJECT SO THAT SUCH CHANGE IN WORK BECOMES UNNECESSARY.
7.1.2
Architect Authority
The Architect will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving any adjustment in the
Contract Sum, or an extension of the Contract Time, when such a change is consistent with the intent of the
Contract Documents.
Such changes shall be effected by written Change Order and shall be binding on the
DISTRICT and the Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written orders promptly.
7.2
CHANGE ORDERS ("CO")
A CO is a written instrument prepared by the Architect and signed by the DISTRICT (as authorized by the

A description of a change in the Work;
(b)
The amount of the adjustment in the Contract Sum, if any; and
(c)
The extent of the adjustment in the Contract Time, if any.

General Conditions
Document 007000, Page 39
HY Project No. 3980
Within ten (10) calendar days after a request is made for a change that impacts the Contract Sum
as defined in paragraph 9.1, the critical path, or the Contract Time as defined in paragraph 8.4.2, the Contractor
shall provide the DISTRICT and the Architect, with a written estimate of the effect of the proposed CO upon
the Contract Sum and the actual cost of construction, which shall include a complete itemized cost breakdown
of all labor and material showing actual quantities, hours, unit prices, and wage rates required for the change,
and the effect upon the Contract Time of such CO. Changes may be made by DISTRICT by an appropriate
written CO, or, at the DISTRICT'S option, such changes shall be implemented immediately upon the
Contractor's receipt of an appropriate written CCD.
DISTRICT may, as provided by law and without affecting the validity of this Agreement, order changes,
modification, deletions and extra work by issuance of written change orders from time to time during the progress
of the Project, contract sum being adjusted accordingly.
All such work shall be executed under conditions
of the original Agreement except that any extension of time caused thereby shall be adjusted at time of
ordering such change.
DISTRICT has discretion to order changes on a “time and material” basis with
adjustments to time made after Contractor has justified through documentation the impact on the critical path
of the Project.
7.7.2
Determination of Cost
The amount of the increase or decrease in the Contract Price from a CO, if any, shall be determined in
one or more of the following ways as applicable to a specific situation:
(a)
Mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating
data to permit evaluation. If an agreement cannot be reached within fifteen (15) days after submission and
negotiation of Contractor’s proposal, Contractor may submit pursuant to paragraph 7.7.3. Submission of
sums which have no basis in fact are at the sole risk of Contractor and may be a violation of the False
Claims Act set forth under Government Code Section 12650 et. seq.);
(b)
By unit prices contained in Contractor’s original bid and incorporated in the
Project documents or fixed by subsequent agreement between DISTRICT and Contractor;
(c)
Cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable
fixed or percentage fee. However, in the case of disagreement, Contractor must utilize the procedure
under section 7.7.3; or
(d)
By cost of material and labor and percentage of overhead and profit. If the value is determined
by this method the following requirements shall apply.
Basis for Establishing Costs
a.
Labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type
of workers at the time the extra Work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes and
insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs
resulting from Federal, State, or local laws, as well as assessments or benefits required by lawful
collective bargaining agreements. The use of a labor classification which would increase the
extra Work cost will not be permitted unless the Contractor establishes the necessity for such
additional costs. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when
General Conditions
Page 40, Document 007000

such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental.
b. Materials shall be at invoice or lowest current price at which such materials are
locally available and delivered to the Site in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight, and
delivery.
The DISTRICT reserves the right to approve materials and sources of supply or to
supply materials to the Contractor if necessary for the progress of the Work. No markup shall be
applied to any material provided by the DISTRICT.
c. Tool and Equipment Rental. No payment will be made for the use of tools which
have a replacement value of $250 or less.
Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs
shall not exceed listed rates prevailing locally at equipment rental agencies or distributors at the
time the Work is performed.
The rental rates paid shall include the cost of fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools,
necessary attachments, repairs and maintenance of any kind, depreciation, storage, insurance,
and all incidentals.
Necessary loading and transportation costs for equipment used on the extra Work
shall be included. If equipment is used intermittently and, when not in use, could be returned to
its rental source at less expense to the DISTRICT than holding it at the Work Site, it shall be
returned unless the Contractor elects to keep it at the Work Site at no expense to the
DISTRICT.
All equipment shall be acceptable to the Inspector, in good working condition, and
suitable for the purpose for which it is to be used. Manufacturer’s ratings and modifications shall
be used to classify equipment, and equipment shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum
rating recommended by the manufacturer.
d.
Other Items.
The DISTRICT may authorize other items which may be
required on the extra work. Such items include labor, services, material, and equipment which
are different in their nature from those required by the Work, and which are of a type not
ordinarily available from the Contractor or any of the S u b c o n t r a c t o r s. Invoices covering a l l
s u c h i t e m s i n d e t a i l s h a l l b e submitted with the request for payment.
e.
Invoices.
Vendors’ invoices for material, equipment rental and other
expenditures shall be submitted with the COR. If the request for payment is not substantiated
by invoices or other documentation, the DISTRICT may establish the cost of the item
involved at the lowest price which was current at the time of the Daily Report.

DISTRICT may give a notice to proceed within ninety (90) days of the award of the bid by DISTRICT.
Once Contractor has received the notice to proceed, Contractor shall complete the Work in the period of time
referenced in the Contract Documents.
In the event that DISTRICT desires to postpone the giving of the notice to proceed beyond this two
(2) month period, it is expressly understood that with reasonable notice to the Contractor, the giving of the date to
proceed may be postponed by DISTRICT. It is further expressly understood by Contractor, that Contractor
shall not be entitled to any claim of additional compensation as a result of the postponement of the giving of the

Work under construction from the effects of inclement weather.
If the weather is unusually severe in excess of the NOAA data norm such that conducting operations would
either present a substantial threat to the health or safety of persons on the Site or present a substantial threat
of damage to DISTRICT property, and thereby prevents the Contractor from beginning work at the usual daily
starting time, or thereby prevents the Contractor from proceeding with seventy-five (75%) of the normal labor and
equipment force towards completion of the day’s current controlling item on the accepted schedule for a period of at

impractical and unfeasible to determine the amount of actual damage, it is agreed the Contractor shall pay to
DISTRICT as fixed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, TWO HUNDRED FIFTY ($250) for each
calendar day of delay in completion. Contractor and his surety shall be liable for the amount thereof pursuant to
Government Code section 53069.85.
8.4.2
Excusable Delay
Contractor shall not be charged for liquidated damages because of any delays in completion of Work
which are not the fault or negligence of Contractor or its subcontractors, including acts of God, as defined in
Public Contract Code Section 7105, acts of enemy, epidemics and quarantine restrictions. Contractor shall
within five (5) calendar days of beginning of any such delay notify DISTRICT in writing of causes of delay;
thereupon DISTRICT shall ascertain the facts and extent of delay and grant extension of time for
completing Work when, in its sole judgment, the findings of fact justify such an extension. Extensions of time shall
apply only to that portion of Work affected by delay, and shall not apply to other portions of Work not so affected.
An extension of time may only be granted after proper compliance with paragraph 3.8 requiring preparation and
submission of a properly prepared CPM schedule.
The Contractor shall notify the Architect in writing of any anticipated delay and its cause, in order that the
Architect may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuance of delay, and may
determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it continues, and to what
extent the prosecution and completion of the Work might be delayed thereby.
In the event the Contractor requests an extension of Contract time for unavoidable delay, such request
shall be submitted in accordance with the provisions in the Contract Documents governing changes in work. When
requesting time, i.e., extensions, for proposed change orders, they must be submitted with the proposed change
order with full justification and documentation. If the Contractor fails to submit justification with the proposed change
order it waives its right to a time extension at a later date. Such justification must be based on the official
Contract schedule as updated at the time of occurrence of the delay or execution of Work related to any changes
to the scope of work. The justification must include, but is not limited to, the following information:
(a)
The duration of the activity relating to the changes in the Work and the resources (manpower,
equipment, material, etc.) required to perform these activities within the stated duration.
(b)
Logical ties to the official Contract schedule for the proposed changes and/or delay showing
the activity/activities in the schedule whose start or completion dates are affected by the change and/or
delay. (A fragment of any delay of over ten (10) calendar days must be provided.)
8.4.3
Notice by Contractor Required
The Contractor shall within five (5) calendar days of beginning of any such delay notify the DISTRICT in
writing of causes of delay with justification and supporting documentation. DISTRICT will then ascertain the facts
and extent of the delay and grant an extension of time for completing the Work when, in its sole judgment, the
findings of fact justify such an extension. Extensions of time shall apply only to that portion of the Work affected
by the delay and shall not apply to other portions of the Work not so affected.
The sole remedy of
Contractor for extensions of time under paragraph 8.4.2 shall be an extension of the Contract Time at no cost to
the DISTRICT.
Claims relating to time extensions shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Article 7.

Payment that the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the Architect's knowledge,
information, and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing
representations are subject to (1) an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents, (2)

liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and
equipment suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials, and
equipment relating to the Work. Failure to keep work free of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances is
grounds to make a claim against Contractor’s payment and performance bond to immediately remedy and defend.
If a lien or stop notice of any nature should at any time be filed against the Work or any DISTRICT
property, by any entity which has supplied material or services at the request of the Contractor, Contractor and
Contractor’s surety shall promptly, on demand by DISTRICT and at Contractor's and surety’s own expense, take
any and all action necessary to cause any such lien or stop notice to be released or discharged immediately
therefrom.
If the Contractor fails to furnish to the DISTRICT within ten (10) calendar days after demand by the
DISTRICT, satisfactory evidence that a lien or stop notice has been so released, discharged, or secured, then
DISTRICT may discharge such indebtedness and deduct the amount required therefor, together with any and
all losses, costs, damages, and attorney's fees and expense incurred or suffered by DISTRICT from any
sum payable to Contractor under the Contract.
