Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, Contractor shall bear the cost of these temporary facilities. 1.04 CONSTRUCTION METHODS SUBGRADE PREPARATION: (Portland Cement Concrete & Asphaltic Concrete) The existing material shall be excavated to the required depth per the City of Cupertino Standard Details or Caltrans Standard Plans (latest edition), as is applicable. The finished subgrade immediately prior to placing subsequent material thereon shall have a relative compaction of ninety (90%) percent for a depth of 0.5 foot as determined by State of California Test Method No. 216. The subgrade shall be smooth and true to the required grade. Immediately prior to the placing of cushion for portland cement concrete, the subgrade shall be thoroughly saturated with water. Ponded water shall not be permitted. CUSHION: The base material underlying existing sidewalk, curb and gutter or other portland cement concrete improvements is considered acceptable for this work. The Contractor will be required to bring the material to the proper grade and to consolidate by watering. The project engineer will determine when the required moisture content has been obtained. If additional cushion material is required due to grade changes, base material uncontaminated by native soil from other locations or ¾” Class 2 aggregate base may be used. FORMS: Forms shall be smooth on the side placed next to the portland cement concrete, and shall have a true smooth upper edge and shall be sufficiently rigid to withstand the pressure and tamping of fresh portland cement concrete without distortion. Timber forms shall be free from warping of deformation. All forms shall be thoroughly cleaned and coated with form oil to prevent the portland cement concrete from adhering to them. The depth of forms for back of curbs shall be equal to the full depth of the curb. The depth of face forms for portland cement concrete curbs shall be 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 2019-101 Page 99 Addemdum 1 equal to the full face height of the curb. The gap between the bottom of the form and the subgrade shall not exceed 1 inch. Forms shall be set carefully to alignment and grade and shall be held rigidly in place by stakes, spreaders, or clamps, and shall be braced so that no displacement will occur during the working of the portland cement concrete. For other than short radius curves, timber forms shall be nominal two (2”) inch stock. All concrete placement shall be confined and no neat (earth confined) placement shall be allowed. When allowed by the engineer, concrete may be placed neatly against asphaltic concrete. PLACEMENT: All portland cement concrete shall be used while fresh and before it has taken an initial set. Retempering any partially hardened portland cement concrete with additional water shall not be permitted. Where pavement or surfacing is to be placed around or adjacent to manholes, drop inlets, or catch basins, which will be located within traffic lanes, such structures shall not be constructed to final grade until after the pavement or surfacing has been placed around these locations. Portland cement concrete shall be poured continuously between joints and brought to the required section as the work progresses. JOINTS (CURB AND GUTTER): Expansion joints shall be installed at each side of structures and at the ends of curb returns. Weakened plane joints shall be constructed at ten (10’) foot maximum intervals. Weakened plane joints shall be cut to a minimum depth of one and one-fourth (1-1/4”) inch with a tool that leaves corners rounded and insures a free movement of the portland cement concrete at the joint. The joint shall have a minimum width of one-eighth (1/8th) inch and shall not exceed one- fourth (1/4”) inch. JOINTS (SIDEWALK): Expansion joints shall be constructed at all returns and opposite expansion joints in adjacent curb. Where curb is not adjacent, expansion joints shall be constructed at intervals of sixty (60’) foot maximum intervals and opposite weakened plane joints in adjacent curb. Joints shall be constructed at right angle to the line of curb and to the same depth and width as for curb and gutter. Score lines shall be constructed at five (5’) foot intervals at right angle to the line of curb. For sidewalk eight (8’) feet or over in width, a score line parallel to the line of curb shall be constructed midway between back of curb and back of walk. Score line shall be made with a scoring tool which will make a rounded line of uniform width and depth of one-fourth (1/4”) inch. A score line parallel to the face of curb shall be constructed six (6”) inches from the face of the curb. TOLERANCE: 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 2019-101 Page 100 Addemdum 1 The top and face of the curb and gutter, the flowline of the curb and gutter, and the surface of the sidewalk shall not vary more than one-fourth (1/4”) inch for the edge of an eight (8’) foot straight edge when placed against the surface, except at grade changes or curves. FINISH: Fresh portland cement concrete shall be struck off and compacted until a layer of mortar has been brought to the surface. The surface shall be finished to grade and cross section with a float, troweled smooth, and finished with a broom. The finish and texture of the portland cement concrete shall be approved by the Engineer. Portland cement concrete adjacent to expansion joints shall be finished with an edger tool. Brooming shall be transverse to the line of traffic. HMA PLACEMENT: All asphalt replacement area finish surfaces must be smooth, uniform and match existing grades. Application of asphalt and asphaltic emulsion must be neat, with surrounding areas kept clean. Asphalt replacement thickness shall be 6 inches. The HMA shall be placed in two lifts with the top lift no less than 1-3/4 inches thick. The HMA shall be placed using the Method Specification for compaction as amended in writing by the Engineer prior to the work. Any broken edges of existing pavement shall be sawcut immediately prior to paving. Tack coat shall be placed on the vertical edges of both the existing HMA and concrete prior to the base course paving and again prior to the paving of the surface course. 1.05 TREE ROOTS & TREE DAMAGE Contractor shall notify the Engineer of any roots discovered which are larger than two inches in diameter. No root larger than 2 inches in diameter shall be removed without expressed permission from the City Engineer and the Tree/Right of Way Supervisor (Jonathan Ferrante 408.777.3343). Where work occurs adjacent to or over tree roots, the roots shall be removed to a minimum depth of six inches (6") below the bottom or side of the new portland cement concrete. Root removal shall be achieved by mechanical root pruning, supersonic air tool root pruning, or approved equal. Cuts on tree roots and barks or skins or cuts on trees shall be treated with an acceptable sealer and growth inhibitor such as Tre-hold. Payment for this work shall be considered as included in the price for removal and replacement. 1.06 ROOT BARRIER Linear root barriers shall be used when concrete hardscape is placed within six feet (6’) of any tree in any direction. Eighteen inch root barriers shall be used when tree is located adjacenet to new curb and gutter. All root barriers shall be made of high density, high impact plastic, shall have a minimum thickness of 0.085” and shall be installed according to manufacturer’s specifications. The 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 2019-101 Page 101 Addemdum 1 length of the root barrier shall extend five times the diameter of the tree trunk each direction measured from the centerline of the tree’s trunk or, entire length of repair, whichever is less.. 1.07 REMOVAL OF PARK STRIP IMPROVEMENTS At some curb ramp locations, it will be necessary to remove existing concrete improvements made by property owners in the public right of way. If such removals are necessary, the limit of removal shall be sawcut to full depth of the existing concrete. After removal and construction of the new concrete facilities, the remaining area shall be backfilled with topsoil approved by the Engineer. 1.08 EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS Where irrigation systems, landscaping, fences, mailboxes, signs, and other improvements exist adjacent to the work, the Contractor shall use reasonable caution to ensure that no damage is caused. If damage to these improvements does occur, the Contractor shall replace in kind or with an acceptable substitute, at his expense. When repairs to sidewalks and driveways adjacent to property line occur, there may be instances where on-site flat work (driveways and walkways) on private property will: 1. Interfere with the repair of existing public improvements. 2. Be incompatible with the new sidewalk, curb and gutter grades. 3. Be out of repair to the extent that the hardscape is hazardous to pedestrian traffic. 4. Present a restriction to the street tree's natural growing space. In these situations, it may become necessary for the City's Contractor to remove and replace portions of the on-site flat work. The costs for the removal and replacement of private portland cement concrete improvements will be paid at contract unit prices. The costs for removal and replacement of private improvements other than portland cement concrete and/or asphalt will be negotiated on a case by case basis with the Engineer. On-site removal and replacement will be only as directed by the Engineer and no extension of quantities will be allowed without prior approval. For decorative hardscape and landscape areas (parkstrip portland cement concrete, mow strips, etc.) the cost for the replacement of voluntary and private improvements within the public right-of-way shall remain the sole responsibility of the abutting property owner. In no instance shall the replaced hardscape be within three (3) feet of the base of any street tree, or in any way present a restriction to the natural growth of the street tree, or interfere with any public 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 2019-101 Page 102 Addemdum 1 utility within the parkstrip. All such work shall require a permit from the City of Cupertino separate from this project. 1.09 CLEANUP AND BACKFILLING The construction area shall be kept neat and safe. Forms shall be removed from the edge of portland cement concrete within two (2) days and be kept in neat piles, not scattered about, and nails in boards shall be turned under, bent over, or removed. Removed nails shall be cleaned up and removed from site. After forms are removed, portland cement concrete edges shall be backfilled and raked smooth with clean and suitable topsoil. Said topsoil material shall also be used to backfill and bring to an acceptable grade area where portland cement concrete or other paving material is removed, but not replaced. The Contractor shall clean all areas occupied by him in connection with the work, and the entire area shall be left in a neat, clean and presentable condition, within seven days of completion. All asphalt replacement shall be completed, brought to finish grade with asphaltic concrete within thirty (30) calendar days of removal. Upon removal of forms, all edges of concrete are to be backfilled. When the edge is lip of gutter, backfill material will be compacted class II aggregate base or asphalt concrete. Any residue left from said cutting operations shall be cleaned and removed per the nonpoint source pollution control best management practices. All cleanup shall be performed as required by the Engineer. 1.10 WORK AREAS The Engineer, whenever possible, will arrange the work so that all of the work required to be done in a section of the City will be scheduled continuously. The intent of the scheduling will be to prevent the Contractor from having to unnecessarily move from one part of the City to another without having completed the work first assigned.

Bid Proposal Form and Enclosures. Each Bid Proposal must be completed in ink using the Bid Proposal form included in the Contract Documents. The B id Proposal form must be fully completed without interlineations, alterations, or erasures. Any necessary corrections must be clear and legible, and must be initialed by the bidder’s authorized representative. A Bid Proposal submitted with exceptions or terms such as “negotiable,” “will negotiate,” or similar, will be considered nonresponsive. Each Bid Proposal must be accompanied by bid security, as set forth in Section 4 below, and by a completed Bid Schedule, Subcontractor 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS 2019-101 Page 4 List, and Non-Collusion Declaration using the forms included in the Project manual as directed. 3. Authorization and Execution. Each Bid Proposal must be signed by the bidder’s authorized representative. A Bid Proposal submitted by a partnership must be signed in the partnership name by a general partner with authority to bind the partnership. A Bid Proposal submitted by a corporation must be signed with the legal name of the corporation, followed by the signature and title of two officers of the corporation with full authority to bi nd the corporation to the terms of the Bid Proposal, under California Corporation Code section 313. 4. Bid Security. Each Bid Proposal must be accompanied by bid security of ten percent of the maximum bid amount, in the form of a cashier’s check, certified check, or bid bond using the form included in the Contract Documents and executed by a surety licensed to do business in the State of California, made payable to City. The bid security must guarantee that, within ten days after issuance of the Notice of Award, the bidder will: execute and submit the enclosed Contract for the bid price; submit payment and performance bonds for 100% of the maximum Contract Price; and submit the insurance certificates and endorsements and any other submittals, if any, required by the Contract Documents or the Notice of Award. 5. Bid Schedule. Each bidder must complete the Bid Schedule form with unit prices as indicated, and submit the completed Bid Schedule with its Bid Proposal. 5.1 Incorrect Totals. In the event a computational error for any bid item (base bid or alternate) results in an incorrect extended total for that item, the submitted base bid or bid alternate total will be adjusted to reflect the corrected amount (as the product of the estimated quantity and the unit cost), unless the cumulative amount of correction changes the total amount of the base bid or bid alternate. In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid, and the amount entered as the base bid on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid will be deemed the base bid price. Likewise, in the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the it emized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for any bid alternate, and the amount entered for the alternate on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized prices shown on the Bid Schedule for that alternate will be deemed the alternate price. Nothing in this provision is intended to prevent a bidder from requesting to withdraw its bid for material error under Public Contract Code section 5100 et seq. 5.2 Estimated Quantities. The quantities shown on the Bid Schedule are estimated and the actual quantities required to perform the Work may be greater or less than the estimated amount. The Contract Price will be adjusted to reflect the actual quantities required for the Work based on the itemized or unit prices provided in the Bid Schedule, with no allowance for anticipated profit for quantities that are deleted or decreased, and no increase in the unit price. 6. Subcontractor Work Limits. The prime contractor must perform at least the percentage of the Work on the Project specified in the Notice Inviting Bids, which is calculated as a percentage of the base bid price, with its own forces, except for any Work identified as “Specialty Work” in the Bid Schedule. The total bid amount for any such Specialty Work, as shown on the Bid Schedule, m ay be deducted from the base bid price before computing the percentage the contractor must self-performance. The remaining Work may be performed by qualified Subcontractor(s). 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS 2019-101 Page 5 7. Bidder’s Questionnaire.

Pre-Bid Investigation 8.1 General. Each bidder is solely responsible at its sole expense for diligent and thorough review of the Contract Documents and documents provided “For Reference Only,” which may include geotechnical reports, as-built or record drawings, utility diagrams, or other such information. Each bidder is also responsible for appropriate examination of the Project site, and reasonable and prudent inquiry concerning known and potential site and area conditions prior to submitting a Bid Proposal. Each bidder is responsible for knowledge of conditions and requirements which reasonable review and investigation would have disclosed. However, except for any areas that are open to the public at large, bidders may not enter City’s property or the Project site without prior written authorization from City, and subject to the site investigation requirements set forth below. Bidders are responsible for reporting any errors or omissions in the Contract Documents to City prior to submitting a Bid Proposal, subject to the limitations of Public Contract Code section 1104. 8.2 Project Site.

Any water table elevation indicated by a soil test report existed on the date the test hole was drilled. The bidder is responsible for determining and allowing for any differing soil or water table conditions during construction. Because groundwater levels may fluctuate, difference(s) in elevation between ground water shown in soil boring logs and ground water actually encountered during Project construction will not be considered changed Project site conditions. Actual locations and depths must be determined by bidder’s field investigation. The bidder may request access to underlying or background information on the Project site in City’s possession that is necessary for the bidder to form its own conclusions, including, if available, record drawings or other documents indicating the location of subsurface lines, utilities, or other structures . City expressly disclaims responsibility for assumptions a bidder might draw from the presence or absence of information provided by City. City does not warrant the accuracy of any representation of visible, above-ground conditions that may be independently investigated and verified by the bidder.

The Project must be completed in a manner that satisfies the standards and requirements of the affected utility companies or agencies (collectively, “utility owners”). The successful bidder may be required by the utility owners to provide detailed plans prepared by a California registered civil engineer showing the necessary temporary support of the utilities during coordinated construction work. Bidders are directed to contact the utility owners about their requirements before submitting a Bid Proposal. 8.4 Site Investigation Requirements.

Each submittal must include the Project name and contract number, Contractor’s name and address, the name and address of any Subcontractor or supplier involved with the submittal, the date, and references to applicable Specification section(s) and/or drawing and detail number(s). (D) Required Corrections. If corrections are required, Contractor must promptly make and submit any required corrections as specified in full conformance with the requirements of this Section, or other requirements that apply to that submittal. If a submittal remains non-compliant after being re-submitted for a second time, City may back-charge Contractor for all further review time and additional administrative costs. For City employees the hourly amount charged will be 2.5 times the employee’s direct hourly payroll cost to the City. For consultants, the amount charged will be 1.25 times the amount billed to the City for additional review and administrative time. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 39 (E) Effect of Review and Acceptance. Review and acceptance of a submittal by City will not relieve Contractor from complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Contractor is responsible for any errors in any submittal, and review or acceptance of a submittal by City is not an assumption of risk or liability by City. (F) Enforcement. Any Work performed or any material furnished, installed, fabricated or used without City’s prior acceptance of a required submittal is performed or provided at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor may be required to bear the costs incident thereto, including the cost of removing and replacing such Work, repairs to other affected portions of the Work or material, and the cost of additional time or services required of City, including costs for the Design Professional, Project Manager, or Inspector. (G) Excessive RFIs. A Request for Information (RFI) will be considered excessive or unnecessary if City determines that the explanation or response to the RFI is clearly and unambiguously discernable from the Contract Documents. City’s costs to review and respond to excessive or unnecessary RFIs may be deducted from payments otherwise due to Contractor, on the same basis as excessive submittal review, under subsection (D) (Required Corrections). 2.6 Shop Drawings. When Shop Drawings are required by the Specifications or requested by the Engineer, they must be prepared according to best practices at Contractor’s expense. The Shop Drawings must be of a size and scale to clearly show all necessary details. Unless otherwise specified by City, Shop Drawings must be provided to the Engineer for review and acceptance at least 30 days before the Work will be performed. If City requires changes, the corrected Shop Drawings must be resubmitted to the Engineer for review within the time specified by the Engineer. For all Project components requiring Shop Drawings, Contractor will not furnish materials or perform any Work until the Shop Drawings for those components are accepted by City. Contractor is responsible for any errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings, shop fits and field corrections, any deviations from the Contract Documents, and for the results obtained by the use of Shop Drawings. Acceptance of Shop Drawings by City does not relieve Contractor of Contractor’s responsibility. Article 3 - Contract Documents 3.1 Interpretation of Contract Documents. (A) Drawings and Specifications. The Drawings and Specifications included in the Contract Documents are complementary. If Work is shown on one but not on the other, Contractor must perform the Work as though fully described on both, consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated results. The Drawings and Specifications are deemed to include and require everything necessary and reasonably incidental to completion of the Work, whether or not particularly mentioned or shown. Contractor must perform all work and services and supply all things reasonably related to and inferable from the Contract Documents. In the event of a conflict between the Drawings and Specifications, the Specifications will control. Detailed Drawings take precedence over general Drawings, and large scale Drawings take precedence over smaller scale Drawings. Any arrangement or division of the Drawings and Specifications into sections is for convenience and is not intended to limit the Work required by separate trades. A conclusion presented in the Drawings or Specifications is only a recommendation. Actual locations and depths must be determined by Contractor’s field investigation. Contractor may request access to underlying or background information in City’s possession that is necessary for Contractor to form its own conclusions. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 40 (B) Duty to Notify and Seek Direction. If Contractor becomes aware of a changed condition in the Project, or of any ambiguity, conflict, inconsistency, discrepancy, omission, or error in the Contract Documents, including under the Drawings or Specifications, Contractor must immediately submit a Request for Information to the Engineer and wait for a response from City before proceeding further with the related Work. The RFI must notify City of the issue and request clarification, interpretation or direction. The Engineer’s clarification, interpretation or direction will be final and binding on Contractor. If Contractor proceeds with the related Work before obtaining City’s response, Contractor will be responsible for any resulting costs, including the cost of correcting any incorrect or defective Work that results. City will not extend the Contract Time due to Contractor’s failure to submit a timely RFI to the Engineer. (C) Figures and Dimensions. Figures control over scaled dimensions. (D) Technical or Trade Terms. Any terms that have well-known technical or trade meanings will be interpreted in accordance with those meanings, unless o therwise specifically defined in the Contract Documents. (E) Measurements. Contractor must verify all relevant measurements at the Worksite before ordering any material or performing any Work, and will be responsible for the correctness of those measurements. (F) Limitations. Any arrangement or division of the Drawings and Specifications into sections is for convenience and is not intended to limit the Work required by separate trades. A conclusion presented in the Drawings or Specifications is only a recommendation. Actual locations and depths must be determined by Contractor’s field investigation. Contractor may request access to underlying or background information in City’s possession that is necessary for Contractor to form its own conclusions. 3.2 Order of Precedence. Information included in one Contract Document but not in another will not be considered a conflict or inconsistency. Unless otherwise specified in the Special Conditions, in case of any conflict or inconsistency among the Contract Documents, the following order of precedence will apply, beginning from highest to lowest: (A) Change Orders; (B) Addenda; (C) Contract; (D) Notice to Proceed; (E) Notice of Award; (F) Special Conditions; (G) General Conditions; (H) Payment, Performance and Warranty Bonds; (I) Specifications; (J) Drawings; (K) Contractor’s Bid Proposal and attachments; (L) Notice Inviting Bids; (M) Instructions to Bidders; (N) The City of Cupertino’s Standard Details; and (O) Any documents prepared by and on behalf of a third party, that were not prepared specifically for this Project, such as the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Caltrans Special Provisions. 3.3 Caltrans Standard Specifications. Any reference to or incorporation of the Standard Specifications of the State of California, Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”), including “Standard Specifications,” “Caltrans Specifications,” “State Specifications,” or 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 41 “CSS,” means the most current edition of Caltrans’ Standard Specifications , unless otherwise specified (“Caltrans Standard Specifications”), including the most current amendments as of the date that Contractor’s bid was submitted for this Project. The following provisions apply to use of or reference to the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Special Provisions: (A) Limitations. The “General Provisions” of the Caltrans Standard Specifications, i.e., sections 1 through 9, do not apply to these Contract Documents with the exception of any specific provisions, if any, which are expressly stated to apply to these Contract Documents. (B) Conflicts or Inconsistencies. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between any provision in the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Special Provisions and a provision of these Contract Documents, as determined by City, the provision in the Contract Documents will govern. (C) Meanings. Terms used in the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Special Provisions are to be interpreted as follows: (1) Any reference to the “Engineer” is deemed to mean the City Engineer. (2) Any reference to the “Special Provisions” is deemed to mean the Special Conditions, unless the Caltrans Special Provisions are expressly included in the Contract Documents listed in Section 2 of the Contract. (3) Any reference to the “Department” or “State” is deemed to mean City. 3.4 For Reference Only. Contractor is responsible for the careful review of any document, study, or report provided by City or appended to the Contract Documents solely for informational purposes and identified as “For Reference Only.” Nothing in any document, study, or report so appended and identified is intended to supplement, alter, or void any provision of the Contract Documents. Contractor is advised that City or its representatives may be guided by information or recommendations included in such reference documents, particularly when making determinations as to the acceptability of proposed materials, methods, or changes in the Work. Any record drawings or similar final or accepted drawings or maps that are not part of the Contract Documents are deemed to be For Reference Only. The provisions of the Contract Documents are not modified by any perceived or actual conflict with provisions in any document that is provided For Reference Only. 3.5 Current Versions. Unless otherwise specified by City, any reference to standard specifications, technical specifications, or any City or state codes or regulations means the latest specification, code or regulation in effect at the time the Contract is signed. 3.6 Conformed Copies. If City prepares a conformed set of the Contract Documents following award of the Contract, it will provide Contractor with a copy of the electronic file in PDF format. It is Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all Subcontractors, includ ing fabricators, are provided with the conformed set of the Contract Documents at Contractor’s sole expense. Article 4 - Bonds, Indemnity, and Insurance 4.1 Payment and Performance Bonds. Within ten days following issuance of the Notice of Award, Contractor is required to provide a payment bond and a performance bond, each in the penal sum of not less than 100% of the Contract Price, using the bond forms included with the Contract Documents. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 42 (A) Surety. Each bond must be issued by a surety admitted in California, and the surety must have a financial rating from A.M. Best Company of A-, class 7 or better, or as otherwise acceptable to the City. If an issuing surety cancels the bond or becomes insolvent, within seven days following written notice from City, Contractor must substitute a surety acceptable to City. If Contractor fails to substitute an acceptable surety within the specified time, City may, at its sole discretion, withhold payment from Contractor until the surety is replaced to City’s satisfaction, or terminate the Contract for default. (B) Supplemental Bonds for Increase in Contract Price. If the Contract Price increases during construction by five percent or more over the original Contract Price, Contractor must provide supplemental or replacement bonds within ten days of written notice from City pursuant to this Section, covering 100% of the increased Contract Price and using the bond forms included with the Contract Documents. 4.2 Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor must indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City, its Council, officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers and consultants (individually, an “Indemnitee,” and collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, causes of action, demands, charges, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees, expert witness fees, paralegal fees, and fees and costs of litigation or arbitration) (collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions of Contractor, its employees, Subcontractors, representatives, or agents, in bidding or performing the Work or in failing to comply with any obligation of Contractor under the Contract, except such Liability caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. This indemnity requirement applies to any Liability arising from alleged defects in the content or manner of submission of Contractor’s bid for the Contract. Contractor’s failure or refusal to timely accept a tender of defense pursuant to this Contract will be deemed a material breach of the Contract. City will timely notify Contractor upon receipt of any third-party claim relating to the Contract, as required by Public Contract Code section 9201. Contractor’s indemnity obligations under this Contract will survive the expiration or any early termination of the Contract. 4.3 Insurance. Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, and for five years following the completion of the Project, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE Coverage shall be at least as broad as: 1. Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office (ISO) Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, written on a comprehensive general liability form, and must include coverage for liability arising from Contractor’s or Subcontractor’s acts or omissions, including Contractor’s protected coverage, blanket contractual, products and completed operations, with limits of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence. The CGL policy must protect against any and all liability for personal injury, death, property damage or destruction, and personal and advertising injury. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG 25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be $4,000,000 which is twice the required occurrence limit. a. It shall be a requirement under this agreement that any available insurance proceeds 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 43 broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits shall be made available to the Additional Insured and shall be (1) the minimum coverage/limits specified in this agreement; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy, whichever is greater. b. Additional Insured coverage under Contractor's policy shall be "primary and non - contributory," will not seek contribution from City’s insurance/self -insurance, and shall be at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 c. The limits of insurance required may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance, provided each policy complies with the requirements set forth in this Contract. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non- contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self - insurance shall be called upon to protect City as a named insured. 2. Automobile Liability: ISO Form CA 00 01 covering any auto (Code 1), or if Contractor has no owned autos, then hired autos (Code 8) and non-owned autos (Code 9), with limit no less than $2,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage. 3.

Contractors’ Pollution Legal Liability and/or Asbestos Legal Liability and/or Errors and Omissions with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, and $2,000,000 policy aggregate. ☒ N/A if box checked (Project does not involve environmental hazards). If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, City shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City. City reserves the right to modify these insurance requirements based on Contractor’s prior experience, insurer, coverage, and considering the nature of the risk involved in the work and other circumstances. Contractor should discuss these requirements with its insurer and the designated Public Works Agency representative. Self-Insured Retentions. Self-insured retentions must be declared to and appro ved by City. At City’s option, either :(1) Contractor shall cause the insurer to reduce or eliminate self -insured 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 44 retentions as respects City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers; or (2) Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self -insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or the City. OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions: Additional Insured Status The City of Cupertino, its City Council, officers, officials, employees, agents, servants and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of the Services performed by or on behalf of Contractor including materials, parts, or equipment furnished. Endorsement of CGL coverage shall be at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used. Primary Coverage For any claims related to this Project, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be “primary and non-contributory” and at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 with respect to City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and shall not seek contribution from City’s insurance. If the limits of insurance are satisfied in part by Umbrella/Excess Insurance, the Umbrella/Excess Insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a “primary and non-contributory” basis for the benefit of City. Notice of Cancellation Each insurance policy required shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City. Each certificate of insurance must state that the coverage afforded by the policy is in force and will not be reduced, cancelled or allowed to expire without at least 30 days advance written notice to City, unless due to non-payment of premiums, in which case ten days advance written notice must be provided to City. Such notice must be sent to City via certified mail and addressed to the attention of the City Manager. Builder’s Risk Contractor may submit Builder’s Risk insurance in the form of Course of Construction coverage, which shall name the City as a loss payee, as its interest may appear. Policy limits must be per occurrence and for all-risk coverage on a 100% completed value basis on the insurable portion of the Project, with no coinsurance penalties, and for the benefit of City. If the Project does not involve new or major reconstruction, City may elect in its sole discretion to accept an Installation Floater policy instead of Builder’s Risk. For such projects, the Property Installation Floater shall include improvement, remodel, modification, alteration, conversion or adjustment to existing buildings, structures, processes, machinery and equipment, and shall provide property damage coverage for any building, structure, machinery or equipment damaged, impaired, broken, or destroyed during the performance of the Work, including during transit, installation, and testing at the City’s site. Waiver of Subrogation Each required policy must include an endorsement providing that the carrier agrees to waive any right of subrogation it may have against City. Contractor agrees to waive rights of subrogation which any insurer of Contractor may acquire from Contractor by virtue of the payment of any loss. Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation. The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City for all work performed by the Contractor, its employees, agents and subcontractors. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 45 Acceptability of Insurers Insurance must be issued by insurers acceptable to City and licensed to do business in the State of California, and each insurer must have an A.M. Best’s financial strength rating of “A-” or better and a financial size rating of “VII” or better. Verification of Coverage Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements, or copies of the applicable insurance language, effecting coverage required by this contract. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements, required by these specifications, at any time. Subcontractors Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage subcontractors shall provide coverage with a form at least as broad as CG 20 38 04 13. Claims Made Policies If any coverage required is written on a claims-made coverage form: 1. The retroactive date must be shown, and this date must be before the execution date of the contract or the beginning of contract work. 2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of contract work. 3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective, or start of work date, the Contractor must purchase extended reporting period coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work. 4. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the Entity for review. 5. If the services involve lead-based paint or asbestos identification/remediation, the Contractors Pollution Liability policy shall not contain lead-based paint or asbestos exclusions. If the services involve mold identification/remediation, the Contractors Pollution Liability policy shall not contain a mold exclusion, and the definition of Pollution shall include microbial matter, including mold. Article 5 - Contract Time 5.1 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in Contractor’s performance and completion of the Work, and Contractor must diligently prosecute the Work and complete it within the Contract Time. (A) Notice to Proceed. Contractor must commence the Work on the date indicated in the Notice to Proceed, and must fully complete the Work in strict compliance with all requirements of the Contract Documents and within the Contract Time. The Notice to Proceed will not be issued until Contractor has executed and returned the Contract, the required bonds, insurance certificates and endorsements and any other submittals required prior to issuance of the Notice to Proceed, subject to City’s approval of all such documents. Contractor may not begin performing Work on the Project Site before the date authorized in the Notice to Proceed. After receiving the Notice to Proceed, Contractor must notify the City in writing of the date Contractor intends to begin Work on the Project, at least 24 hours in advance of beginning the Work. Contractor is not entitled to compensation or credit for any Work performed before the date specified in the Notice to Proceed, with the exception of any schedules, submittals, or other requirements that must be provided or performed before issuance of the Notice to Proceed. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 46 (B) Rate of Progress. Contractor and its Subcontractors must, at all times, provide workers, materials, and equipment sufficient to maintain the rate of progress necessary to ensure full completion of the Work within the Contract Time. If City determines that Contractor is failing to prosecute the Work at a sufficient rate of progress, City may, in its sole discretion, direct Contractor to provide additional workers, materials, or equipment, or to work additional hours or days without additional cost to City, in order to achieve a rate of progress satisfactory to City. If Contractor fails to comply with City’s directive in this regard, City may, at Contractor’s expense, separately contract for additional workers, materials, or equipment or use City’s own forces to achieve the necessary rate of progress. Alternatively, City may terminate the Contract based on Contractor’s default. 5.2 Schedule Requirements. Contractor must prepare all schedules using standard scheduling software acceptable to the Engineer, and must provide the schedules in electronic and paper form as requested by the Engineer. In addition to the general scheduling requirements set forth below, Contractor must also comply with any scheduling requirements included in the Special Conditions or in the Technical Specifications. (A) Baseline (As-Planned) Schedule. Within ten calendar days following City’s issuance of the Notice to Proceed (or as otherwise specified in the Special Conditions), Contractor must submit to City for review and acceptance a baseline (as-planned) schedule using critical path methodology showing in detail how Contractor plans to perform and fully complete the Work within the Contract Time, including labor, equipment, materials and fabricated items. The baseline schedule must show the order of the major items of W ork and the dates of start and completion of each item, including when the materials and equipment will be procured. The schedule must also include the work of all trades, reflecting anticipated labor or crew hours and equipment loading for the construction activities, and must be sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to enable progress to be monitored on a day-by-day basis. For each activity, the baseline schedule must be dated, provided in the format specified in the Contract Documents or as required by City, and must include, at a minimum, a description of the activity, the start and completion dates of the activity, and the duration of the activity. (1) Specialized Materials Ordering. Within five calendar days following issuance of the Notice to Proceed, Contractor must order any specialized material or equipment for the Work that is not readily available from material suppliers. Contractor must also retain documentation of the purchase orders date(s). (B) City’s Review of Schedules. City will review and may note exceptions to the baseline schedule, and to the progress schedules submitted as required below, to assure completion of the Work within the Contract Time. Contractor is solely responsible for resolving any exceptions noted in a schedule and must, within seven days, correct the schedule to address them. (C) Progress Schedules. After City accepts the final baseline schedule with no exceptions, Contractor must submit an updated progress schedule and three-week look- ahead schedule, in the format specified by City, for review and acceptance with each application for a progress payment, or when otherwise specified by City, until completion of the Work. The updated progress schedule must: show how the actual progress of the Work as constructed to date compares to the baseline schedule; reflect any proposed changes in the construction schedule or method of operations, including to achieve Project milestones within the Contract Time; and identify any actual or potential impacts to the critical path. Contractor must also submit periodic reports to City of any changes in the projected material or equipment delivery dates for the Project. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 47 (1) Float. The progress schedule must show early and late completion dates for each task. The number of days between those dates will be designated as the “float.” Any float belongs to the Project and may be allocated by the Engineer to best serve timely completion of the Project. (2) Failure to Submit Schedule. Reliable, up-to-date schedules are essential to efficient and cost-effective administration of the Project and timely completion. If Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time periods specified in this Section, or submits a schedule to which City has noted exceptions that are not corrected, City may withhold up to ten percent from payment(s) otherwise due to Contractor until the exceptions are resolved, the schedule is corrected and resubmitted, and City has accepted the schedule. In addition, Contractor’s failure to comply with the schedule requirements in this Section 5.2 will be deemed a waiver of any claims for Excusable Delay or loss of productivity arising when Contractor is out of compliance, subject only to the limits of Public Contract Code section 7102. (D) Recovery Schedule. If City determines that the Work is more than one week behind schedule, within seven days following written notice of such determination, Contractor must submit a recovery schedule, showing how Contractor intends to perform and complete the Work within the Contract Time, based on actual progress to date. (E) Effect of Acceptance. Contractor and its Subcontractors must perform the Work in accordance with the most current City-accepted schedule unless otherwise directed by City. City’s acceptance of a schedule does not operate to extend the time for completion of the Work or any component of the Work, and will not affect City’s right to assess liquidated damages for Contractor’s unexcused delay in completing the Work within the Contract Time. (F) Posting. Contractor must at all times maintain a copy of the most current City- accepted progress or recovery schedule posted prominently in its on-site office. (G) Reservation of Rights. City reserves the right to direct the sequence in which the Work must be performed or to make changes in the sequence of the Work in order to facilitate the performance of work by City or others, or to facilitate City’s use of its property. The Contract Time or Contract Price may be adjusted to the extent such changes in sequence actually increase or decrease Contractor’s time or cost to perform the Work. (H) Authorized Working Days and Times. Contractor is limited to working Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, during City’s normal business hours, except as provided in the Special Conditions or as authorized in writing by City. City reserves the right to charge Contractor for additional costs incurred by City due to Work performed on days or during hours not expressly authorized in the Contract Documents, including reimbursement of costs incurred for inspection, testing, and construction management services. 5.3 Delay and Extensions of Contract Time. (A) Notice of Delay. If Contractor becomes aware of any actual or potential delay affecting the critical path, Contractor must promptly notify the Engineer in writing, regardless of the nature or cause of the delay, so that City has a reasonable opportunity to mitigate or avoid the delay. (B) Excusable Delay. The Contract Time may be extended if Contractor encounters “Excusable Delay,” which is an unavoidable delay in completing the Work within the 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 48 Contract Time due to causes completely beyond Contractor’s control, and which Contractor could not have avoided or mitigated through reasonable care, planning, foresight, and diligence. Grounds for Excusable Delay may include fire, natural disasters including earthquake or unusually severe weather, acts of terror or vandalism, epidemic, unforeseeable adverse government actions, unforeseeable actions of third parties, encountering unforeseeable hazardous materials, unforeseeable site conditions, or suspension for convenience under Article 13. (C) Non-Excusable Delay. Delay which Contractor could have avoided or mitigated through reasonable care, planning, foresight and diligence is “Non-Excusable Delay.” Contractor is not entitled to an extension of Contract Time or any compensation for Non- Excusable Delay, or for Excusable Delay that is concurrent with Non-Excusable Delay. Non-Excusable Delay includes delay caused by: (1) weather conditions which are normal for the location of the Project, as determined by reliable records, including monthly rainfall averages, for the preceding ten years; (2) Contractor’s failure to order equipment and materials sufficiently in advance of the time needed for timely completion of the Work; (3) Contractor’s failure to provide adequate notification to utility companies or agencies for connections or services necessary for the timely perform ance and completion of the Work; (4) foreseeable conditions which Contractor could have ascertained from reasonably diligent inspection of the Worksite or review of the Contract Documents or other information provided or available to Contractor; or (5) Contractor’s financial inability to perform the Work, including insufficient funds to pay its Subcontractors or suppliers. (D) Compensable Delay. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7102, in addition to entitlement to an extension of Contract Time, Contractor is entitled to compensation for costs incurred due to delay caused solely by City, when that delay is unreasonable under the circumstances involved and not within the contemplation of the parties (“Compensable Delay”). (E) Concurrent Delay. Contractor is not entitled to an extension of Contract Time or recovery of costs for any Compensable Delay that is concurrent with Non-Excusable Delay. (F) Weather Delay. A “Weather Delay Day” is a Working Day during which Contractor and its forces, including Subcontractors, are unable to perform more than 40% of the critical path Work scheduled for that day due to adverse weather conditions which impair the ability to safely or effectively perform the scheduled critical path Work that day. Adverse weather conditions may include rain, saturated soil, and Worksite cleanup required due to adverse weather. Determination of what constitutes critical path Work scheduled for that day will be based on the most current, City-approved schedule. (1) Based on historic records for the Project location from the Western Regional Climate Center, Contractor’s schedule should assume the following number of normal Weather Delay Days and precipitation for each month: Month # Normal Weather Precipitation Delay Days 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 49 January 6 2.86 February 6 2.66 March 6 2.29 April 3 1.20 May 1 0.44 June 0 0.10 July 0 0.02 August 0 0.07 September 1 0.19 October 2 0.76 November 4 1.51 December 5 2.43 Total 34 14.53 (2) Contractor will be entitled to a non-compensable extension of the Contract Time for each Weather Delay Day in excess of the normal Weather Delay Days within a given month, as set forth in Section 5.3(F)(1) above, subject to the following limitations: a. Contractor must fully comply with the applicable procedures in Article 5 and 6 of these General Conditions regarding requests to modify the Contract Time. b. Normal Weather Delay Days which do not occur during a given month do not carry over to another month. c. Contractor will not be entitled to an extension of time for a Weather Delay Day to the extent Contractor is responsible for concurrent delay on that day. (G) Recoverable Costs. Contractor is not entitled to compensation for Excusable Delay unless it is Compensable Delay, as defined above. Contractor is entitled to recover only the actual, direct, reasonable, and substantiated costs (“Recoverable Costs”) for each working day that the Compensable Delay prevents Contractor from proceeding with more than 50% of the critical path Work scheduled for that day, based on the most recent progress schedule accepted by City. Recoverable Costs will not include home office overhead or lost profit. (H) Request for Extension of Contract Time or Recoverable Costs. A request for an extension of Contract Time or any associated Recoverable Costs must be submitted in writing to City within ten calendar days of the date the delay is first encountered, even if the duration of the delay is not yet known at that time, or any entitlement to the Contract Time extension or to the Recoverable Costs will be deemed waived. In addition to complying with the requirements of this Article 5, the request must be submitted in compliance with the Change Order request procedures in Article 6 below. Strict compliance with these requirements is necessary to ensure that an y delay or consequences of delay may be mitigated as soon as possible, and to facilitate cost- efficient administration of the Project and timely performance of the Work. Any request for an extension of Contract Time or Recoverable Costs that does not strictly comply with all of the requirements of Article 5 and Article 6 will be deemed waived. (1) Required Contents. The request must include a detailed description of the cause(s) of the delay, and must also describe the measures that Contractor has taken to mitigate the delay and/or its effects, including efforts to mitigate the cost impact of the delay, such as by workforce management or by a change in 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 50 sequencing. If the delay is still ongoing at the time the request is submitted, the request should also include Contractor’s plan for continued mitigation of the delay or its effects. (2) Delay Days and Costs. The request must specify the number of days of Excusable Delay claimed, or provide a realistic estimate if the duration of the delay is not yet known. If Contractor believes it is entitled to Recoverable Costs for Compensable Delay, the request must specify the amount and basis for the Recoverable Costs that are claimed, or provide a realistic estimate if the amount is not yet known. Any estimate of delay duration or cost must be updated in writing and submitted with all required supporting documentation as soon as the actual time and cost is known. The maximum extension of Contract Time will be the number of days, if any, by which an Excusable Delay or a Compensable Delay exceeds any concurrent Non-Excusable Delay. Contractor is entitled to an extension of Contract Time, or compensation for Recoverable Costs, only if, and only to the extent that, such delay will unavoidably delay Final Completion. (3) Supporting Documentation. The request must also include any and all supporting documentation necessary to evidence the delay and its actual impacts, including scheduling and cost impacts with a time impact analysis using critical path methodology and demonstrating the unavoidable delay to Final Completion. The time impact analysis must be submitted in a form or format acceptable to City. (4) Burden of Proof. Contractor has the burden of proving that: the delay was an Excusable or Compensable Delay, as defined above; Contractor has made reasonable efforts to mitigate the delay and its schedule and cost impacts ; the delay will unavoidably result in delaying Final Completion; and any Recoverable Costs claimed by Contractor were actually incurred and were reasonable under the circumstances. (5) Legal Compliance. Nothing in this Section 5.3 is intended to require the waiver, alteration, or limitation of the applicability of Public C ontract Code section 7102. (6) No Waiver. Any grant of an extension of Contract Time, or compensation for Recoverable Costs due to Compensable Delay, will not operate as a waiver of City’s right to assess liquidated damages for Non-Excusable Delay. (7) Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute over entitlement to an extension of Contract Time or compensation for Recoverable Costs, Contractor may not stop working pending resolution of the dispute, but must continue to comply with its duty to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work. Contractor’s sole recourse for an unresolved dispute based on City’s rejection of a Change Order request for an extension of Contract Time or compensation for Recoverable Costs is to comply with the Dispute Resolution provisions set forth in Article 12 below. 5.4 Liquidated Damages. It is expressly understood that if Final Completion is not achieved within the Contract Time, City will suffer damages from the delay that are difficult to determine and accurately specify. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7203, if Contractor fails to achieve Final Completion within the Contract Time, City will charge Contractor in the amount specified in the Contract for each day that Final Completion is delayed beyond the Contract Time, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 51 (A) Liquidated Damages. Liquidated damages will not be assessed for any Excusable or Compensable Delay, as set forth above. (B) Milestones. Liquidated damages may also be separately assessed for failure to meet milestones specified elsewhere in the Contract Documents. (C) Setoff. City is entitled to deduct the amount of liquidated damages assessed against any payments otherwise due to Contractor, including unreleased retention. If there are insufficient Contract funds remaining to cover the full amount of liquidated damages assessed, City is entitled to recover the balance from Contractor or its performance bond surety. (D) Occupancy or Use. Occupancy or use of the Project in whole or in part prior to Final Completion does not constitute City’s acceptance of the Project and will not operate as a waiver of City’s right to assess liquidated damages for Contractor’s Non-Excusable Delay in achieving Final Completion. (E) Other Remedies. City’s right to liquidated damages under this Section applies only to damages arising from Contractor’s Non-Excusable Delay or failure to complete the Work within the Contract Time. City retains its right to pursue all other remedies under the Contract for other types of damage, including damage to property or persons, or for defective materials or workmanship. Article 6 - Contract Modification 6.1 Contract Modification and Changes in Work. Modifications to the Contract are valid and legally binding only if duly authorized by a written and signed Change Order. City may also make changes in the Work without invalidating the Contract. City may direct changes in the Work, which may include Extra Work as set forth in subsection (B) below, deletion or modification of portions of the Work , or other modifications determined by City, acting in its sole discretion, to be in City’s best interest. Pursuant to section 3.23.170 of the Cupertino Municipal Code, City reserves the right to delete up to 25% of the Work. Any change in the Work, whether directed by City or pursuant to Contractor’s request for a Change Order under Section 6.2 below, will not be a valid and binding change to the Contract unless it is formalized in a Change Order, which may include commensurate changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time as applicable. Contractor must promptly comply with City-directed changes in the Work in accordance with the original Contract Documents, even if Contractor and City have not yet reached agreement as to adjustments to the Contract Price or Contract Time for the change in the Work or for the Extra Work. Contractor is not entitled to extra compensation pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7101 based on cost reduction changes or “value engineering,” unless otherwise specified in the Special Conditions, or unless expressly authorizing in advance in writing by City. (A) Disputes. In the event of a dispute over entitlement to or the amount of a change in Contract Time or a change in Contract Price related to a City-directed change in the Work, Contractor must perform the Work as directed and may not delay its Work or cease W ork pending resolution of the dispute, but must continue to comply with its duty to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work, including the Work in dispute. In the event that City and Contractor dispute whether a portion or portions of the Work are already required by the Contract Documents or constitute Extra Work, or otherwise dispute the interpretation of any portion(s) of the Contract Documents, Contractor must perform the Work as directed and may not delay its Work or cease Work pending resolution of the dispute, but must continue to comply with its duty to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work, including the Work in 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 52 dispute, as directed by City. Contractor’s sole recourse for an unresolved dispute related to changes in the Work or performance of any Extra Work is to comply with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article 12, below. (B) Extra Work. City may direct Contractor to perform Extra Work related to the Project. Contractor must promptly perform any Extra Work as directed or authorized by City in accordance with the original Contract Documents, even if Contractor and City have not yet reached agreement on adjustments to the Contract Price or Contract Time for such Extra W ork. Contractor must maintain detailed daily records that itemize the cost of each element of Extra Work , and sufficiently distinguish the direct cost of the Extra Work from the cost of other Work performed. For each day that Contractor performs Extra Work, or Work that Contractor contends is Extra Work, Contractor must submit no later than the following Working Day, a daily report of the Extra Work performed that day and the related costs, together with copies of certified payroll, invoices, and other documentation substantiating the costs (“Extra Work Report”). The Engineer will make any adjustments to Contractor’s Extra Work Report(s) based on the Engineer’s records of the W ork. When an Extra Work Report(s) is agreed on and signed by both City and Contractor, the Extra Work Report(s) will become the basis for payment under a duly authorized and signed Change Order. Failure to submit the required documentation by close of business on the next W orking Day is deemed a full and complete waiver for any change in the Contract Price or Contract Time for any Extra Work performed that day. (C) Remedy for Non-Compliance. Contractor’s failure to promptly comply with a City-directed change is deemed a material breach of the Contract, and in addition to all other remedies available to it, City may, at its sole discretion, hire another contractor or use its own forces to complete the disputed Work at Contractor’s sole expense, and may deduct the cost from the Contract Price. 6.2 Contractor Change Order Requests. Contractor must submit a request or proposal for a change in the Work, compensation for Extra Work, or a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time as a written Change Order request or proposal. (A) Time for Submission. Any request for a change in the Contract Price or the Contract Time must be submitted in writing to the Engineer within ten calendar days of the date that Contractor first encounters the circumstances, information or conditions giving rise to the Change Order request, even if the total amount of the requested change in the Contract Price or impact on the Contract Time is not yet known at that time. If City requests that Contractor propose the terms of a Change Order, unless otherwise specified in City’s request, Contractor must provide the Engineer with a written proposal for the change in the Contract Price or Contract Time within five working days of receiving City’s request, in a form satisfactory to the Engineer. (B) Required Contents. Any Change Order request or proposal submitted by Contractor must include a complete breakdown of actual or estimated costs and credits, and must itemize labor, materials, equipment, taxes, insurance, subcontract amounts and if applicable, Extra Work Reports. Any estimated cost must be updated in writing as soon as the actual amount is known. (C) Required Documentation. All claimed costs must be fully documented, and any related request for an extension of time or delay-related costs must be included at that time and in compliance with the requirements of Article 5 of the General Conditions. (D) Required Form. Contractor must use City’s form(s) for submitting all Change Order requests or proposals, unless otherwise specified by City. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 53 (E) Certification. All Change Order requests must be signed by Contractor and must include the following certification: “The undersigned Contractor certifies under penalty of perjury that its statements and representations in this Change Order request are true and correct. Contractor warrants that this Change Order request is comprehensive and complete as to the Work or changes referenced herein, and agrees that any costs, expenses, or time extension request not included herein is deemed waived. Contractor understands that submission of claims which have no basis in fact or which Contractor knows to be false may violate the False Claims Act, as set forth in Government Code sections 12650 et seq.” 6.3 Adjustments to Contract Price. The amount of any increase or decrease in the Contract Price will be determined based on one of the following methods, but in the order provided with unit pricing taking precedence over the other methods: (A) Unit Pricing. Amounts previously provided by Contractor in the form of unit prices, either in a bid schedule or schedule of values, will apply if unit pricing has previously been provided in Contractor’s accepted bid schedule or schedule of values for the affected Work. No additional markup for overhead, profit, or other indirect costs will be added to the calculation. (B) Lump Sum. A mutually agreed upon lump sum for the affected Work with no additional markup for overhead, profit, or other indirect costs. (C) Time and Materials. On a time and materials basis, including allowed markup for overhead, profit, and all other indirect costs, and which may include a not-to-exceed limit, calculated as the total of the following sums: (1) All direct labor costs plus 15% markup; (2) All direct material costs, including sales tax, plus 15% markup; (3) All direct plant and equipment rental costs, plus 15% markup; (4) All direct subcontract costs plus ten percent markup; and (5) Increased bond or insurance premium costs computed at 1.5% of total of the previous four sums. 6.4 Unilateral Change Order. If the parties dispute the terms of a proposed Change Order, including disputes over the amount of compensation or extension of time that Contractor has requested, the value of deleted or changed Work, what constitutes Extra Work, or quantities used, City may elect to issue a unilateral Change Order, directing performance of the Work, and authorizing a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time for the amount of compensation or added time that the City believes is merited. Contractor’s sole recourse to dispute the terms of a unilateral Change Order is to submit a timely Claim pursuant to Article 12, below. 6.5 Non-Compliance Deemed Waiver. Contractor waives its entitlement to any increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time if Contractor fails to full y comply with the provisions of this Article. Contractor will not be paid for unauthorized Extra W ork. 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 54 Article 7 - General Construction Provisions 7.1 Permits and Taxes.

(4) Contractor is responsible for properly shoring all compaction test sites deeper than five feet below grade, as required under Section 7.15 below. (5) Any Work or material that is defective or fails to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents must be promptly repaired, removed, replaced, or 2018/19 Reconstruction of Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks GENERAL CONDITIONS 2019-101 Page 59 corrected by Contractor, at Contractor’s sole expense, even if that Work or material was previously inspected or included in a progress payment. (D) Contractor’s Obligations. All Work and materials must conform with the lines, grades, typical cross sections, dimensions, material requirements, and tolerances shown or described by the Drawings and Specifications. City, acting in its sole discretion, will determine whether Work or materials conform with the Drawings and Specifications, including allowable deviations. City’s determination as to conformity or allowable deviations is final. Contractor is solely responsible for any delay occasioned by remediation of defective or noncompliant Work or material. Inspection of the Work does not in any way relieve Contractor of its obligations to perform the Work as specified. Any Work done without the required inspection(s) will also be subject to rejection by City. (E) Distant Locations. If required off-site testing or inspection must be conducted at a location more than 100 miles from the Project site, Contractor is solely responsible for the additional travel costs required for testing and/or inspection at such locat ions. (F) Plant Inspection. If specified in the Contract Documents, or upon written request by City, Contractor must use its best efforts to facilitate and arrange for City’s inspection, sampling or testing of materials or items required for the Work at the plant or facility from which the materials or items are to be obtained. Contractor’s best efforts must include contacting the producer or manufacturer on a timely basis to schedule inspection by City’s selected representative, including appropriate access and any safety equipment, all at no cost to City. The inspection must be scheduled sufficiently in advance of the planned shipping or production date to allow for alternative arrangements if the City determined that the materials or items do not meet the requirements of the Drawings and Specifications. Nothing in this provision obligates City to inspect materials or items at the source plant or facility. (G) Final Inspection. The provisions of this Section 7.8 apply to final inspection under Article 11, Completion and Warranty Provisions. 7.9 Worksite Conditions and Maintenance. Contractor must at all times, on a 24-hour basis and at its sole cost, maintain the Project site and staging and storage areas in clean and neat condition and in compliance with all regulatory requirements for air quality and dust control. Contractor must also, on a daily basis and at its sole cost, remove and properly dispose of the debris and waste materials from the Project site. (A) Protection of Existing Property, Structures, and Utilities. If the Drawings indicate existing above-grade and below-grade structures, drainage lines, storm drains, sewers, water, gas, electrical, phone and data cable, and other similar items or utilities known to the City, then Contractor will locate these known existing installations before proceeding with trenching or other operations which may cause damage, will maintain them in service where appropriate, and will repair any damage caused to them by the Work, at no increase in the Contract Price. (1) The Contractor may temporarily mark or paint the ground, pavement, sidewalk, or any other improvements, but must not do so in a public right-of-way or on the Site more than 30 days prior to the commencement of excavation work performed in connection with an installation.
