SUMMARY OF WORK
PART 1 GENERAL
1.25 Modifications to Time of Completion in the Approved Schedule
A. The date of beginning and the time for completion of the work are essential conditions of the
Contract Documents and the work embraced shall be commenced on a date specified in the
Notice to Proceed.
The Contractor will proceed with the work at such rate of progress to ensure full completion
within the contract time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the
Contractor and the Owner that the contract time for the completion of the work described
herein is a reasonable time, taking into consideration the climatic and other factors prevailing
in the locality of the work.
Every effort shall be made by the Contractor to complete the project within the "Contract
Time" shown in the proposal. The "Contract Time" anticipates "Normal" weather and climate
conditions in and around the vicinity of the Project site during the times of year that the
construction will be carried out. Extensions of time based upon weather conditions shall be
granted only if the Contractor demonstrates clearly that such conditions were "unusually
severe," would not have been reasonably anticipated, and that such conditions adversely
affected the Contractor’s work and thus required additional time to complete the work.
The following specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually
severe weather. The listing below defines the anticipated number of calendar days lost to
adverse weather for each month and is based upon National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the geographic location of the project.
Monthly Anticipated Calendar Days Lost to Adverse Weather Conditions
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
(7) (4) (4) (4) (6) (3) (4) (2) (3) (3) (2) (5)
The above schedule of anticipated adverse weather will constitute the base line for monthly
(or portion thereof) weather time evaluations. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to
Proceed and continuing throughout the contract on a monthly basis, actual adverse weather
days and the impact of adverse weather days that delay the work will be recorded on a day-
to-day basis. It is assumed that the work will be carried out Mondays through Fridays
(holidays excepted) unless an approved construction schedule or written authorization from
the Owner indicates otherwise. The number of days of delayed work due to adverse weather
or the impact thereof will then be compared to the monthly adverse weather schedule above.
An actual adverse weather day must prevent work for 50 percent or more of the
Contractor’s workday, delay work critical to the timely completion of the project, and be
documented by the Contractor. The City Representative observing the construction shall
determine on a daily basis whether or not work can proceed or if work is delayed due to
adverse weather or the effects thereof. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of
any disagreement as to whether or not work can proceed on a given date, within 2 calendar
days of that date. The Owner will use the above written notification in determining the
number of working days for which work was delayed during each month.

SUMMARY OF WORK
At the end of each month, if the number of working days for which work was delayed due to
adverse weather exceeds that shown in the above schedule, a Change Order will be
executed which increases the Contract Time. The number of work days delayed due to
adverse weather or the impact thereof will then be converted to Calendar Days based on the
contract completion day and date. This conversion assumes a 5-day work week, Mondays
through Fridays, holidays excepted; should the Contractor have authorization to work
weekends and/or holidays, then the method of conversion of workdays to calendar days
would take this into consideration. The contract time period will then be increased by the
number of calendar days calculated above and a new contract completion day and date will
be set.
The Contractor’s schedule must reflect the above-anticipated adverse weather delays on all
weather-dependent activities.
While extensions of time shall be granted for "unusually severe" weather or climate
conditions, the Owner shall make no monetary compensation for any costs to the Contractor
arising out of such delays. The Contractor shall comply with the portions of the Contract
Documents relating to his project schedule and amendments thereto which result from the
"unusually severe" weather condition.
Breakdowns in equipment or lack of performance by the Contractor will not be considered
justification for an extension of time. Liquidated damages will be assessed as delineated
elsewhere.
The Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the
delay in completion of the work is due to the following, and the Contractor has promptly given
written notice of such delay to the Owner or Engineer.
1. To any preference, priority, or allocation order duly issued by the Owner.
2. To unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the
Owner, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the Owner, fires,
floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and abnormal and
unforeseeable weather as provided above; and
3. To any delays of Subcontractors occasioned by any of the causes specified in paragraphs
1 and 2, above.

REVISION OF SECTION 104
SCOPE OF WORK
Section 104 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows:
Subsection 104.02 shall include:
Site Conditions
A. General:
1. The CONTRACTOR acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the nature and
location of the work, the general and local conditions, particularly those bearing upon
access to the site; handling, storage, and disposal of materials; availability of water,
electricity and roads; uncertainties of weather, river stages, or similar physical
conditions at the site; the conformation and conditions of the ground; the equipment
and facilities needed preliminary to and during the execution of the work; and all other
matters which can in any way affect the work or the cost thereof under this Contract.
2. The CONTRACTOR further acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the
character, quality and quantity of surface and subsurface materials to be encountered
from his inspection of the site and from reviewing any available records of exploratory
work furnished by the OWNER or included in these Documents. Failure by the
CONTRACTOR to acquaint himself with the physical conditions of the site and all the
available information will not relieve him from responsibility for properly estimating the
difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work.
3. The CONTRACTOR warrants that as a result of his examination and investigation of
all the aforesaid data that he can perform the work in a good and workmanlike manner
and to the satisfaction of the OWNER. The OWNER assumes no responsibility for
any representations made by any of its officers or agents during or prior to the
execution of this Contract, unless (1) such representations are expressly stated in the
Contract and (2) the Contract expressly provides that the responsibility therefore is
assumed by the OWNER.
B. Information on Site Conditions
1. Any information obtained by the ENGINEER regarding site conditions, subsurface
information, groundwater elevations, existing construction of site facilities, and similar
data will be available for inspection, as applicable, at the office of the ENGINEER
upon request. Such information is offered as supplementary information only. Neither
the ENGINEER nor the OWNER assumes any responsibility for the completeness or
interpretation of such supplementary information.
2. Underground Utilities: Known utilities and structures adjacent to or encountered in the
work are shown on the Drawings. The locations shown are taken from existing
records and the best information available from existing utility plans and potholing.
However, it is expected that there may be some discrepancies and omissions in the
locations and quantities of utilities and structures shown. Those shown are for the
convenience of the CONTRACTOR only, and no responsibility is assumed by either
the OWNER or the ENGINEER for their accuracy or completeness.

SCOPE OF WORK
C. Execution
1. Where the CONTRACTOR's operations could cause damage or inconvenience to
railway, telegraph, telephone, television, oil, gas, electricity, water, sewer, or irrigation
systems; the operations shall be suspended until all arrangements necessary for the
protection of these utilities and services have been made by the CONTRACTOR.
2. Notify all utility offices which are affected by the construction operation at least 48
hours in advance. Under no circumstances expose any utility without first obtaining
permission from the appropriate agency. Once permission has been granted, locate,
expose, and provide temporary support for all existing underground utilities.
3. The CONTRACTOR shall protect all utility poles from damage. If interfering power
poles, telephone poles, guy wires, or anchors are encountered, notify the ENGINEER
and the appropriate utility company at least 48 hours in advance of construction
operations to permit the necessary arrangements for protection or relocation of the
interfering structure.
4. The CONTRACTOR shall be solely and directly responsible to the owner and
operators of such properties for any damage, injury, expense, loss, inconvenience,
delay, suits, actions, or claims of any character brought because of any injuries or
damage which may result from the construction operations under this Contract.
5. Neither the OWNER nor its officers or agents shall be responsible to the
CONTRACTOR for damages as a result of the CONTRACTOR's failure to protect
utilities encountered in the work.
6. If the CONTRACTOR, while performing the Contract, discovers utility facilities not
identified in the Drawings or Specifications, he shall immediately notify the OWNER,
utility, and the ENGINEER in writing.
7. In the event of interruption to domestic water, sewer, storm drain, or other utility
services as a result of accidental breakage due to construction operations, promptly
notify the proper authority. Cooperate with said authority in the restoration of service
as promptly as possible and bear all costs of repair.
8. The CONTRACTOR shall replace, at his own expense, any and all other existing
utilities or structures removed or damaged during construction, unless otherwise
provided for in these Contract Documents or ordered by the ENGINEER.
9. Interfering Structures - The CONTRACTOR shall take necessary precautions to
prevent damage to existing structures whether on the surface, aboveground, or
underground. An attempt has been made to show major structures on the Drawings.
The completeness and accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and it is presented simply as
a guide to avoid known possible difficulties.

REVISION OF SECTION 104
SCOPE OF WORK
10. Field Relocation - During the progress of construction, it is expected that minor
relocations of the work will be necessary. Such relocations shall be made only by
direction of the ENGINEER. If existing structures are encountered that prevent the
construction, and that are not properly shown on the Drawings, notify the ENGINEER
before continuing with the construction in order that the ENGINEER may make such
field revision as necessary to avoid conflict with the existing structures. If the
CONTRACTOR shall fail to so notify the ENGINEER when an existing structure is
encountered, and shall proceed with the construction despite the interference, he shall
do so at his own risk.
D. Easements:
1. Where portions of the work are located on public or private property, easements and
permits will be obtained by the OWNER. Easements will provide for the use of the
property for construction purposes to the extent indicated on the easements. Copies
of these easements and permits are available upon request to the OWNER. It shall
be the CONTRACTOR's responsibility to determine the adequacy of the easement
obtained in every case and to abide by all requirements and provisions of the
easement. The CONTRACTOR shall confine his construction operations to within the
easement limits or make special arrangements with the property owners or
appropriate public agency for the additional area required. Any damage to property,
either inside or outside the limits of the easements provided by the OWNER, shall be
the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR as specified herein. The CONTRACTOR
shall remove, protect, and replace all fences or other items encountered on public or
private property. Before final payment will be authorized by the ENGINEER, the
CONTRACTOR will be required to furnish the OWNER with written releases from
property owners or public agencies where side agreements or special easements
have been made by the CONTRACTOR or where the CONTRACTOR's operations,
for any reason, have not been kept within the construction right of way obtained by the
OWNER.
2. It is anticipated that the required easements and permits will be obtained before
construction is started. However, should the procurement of any easement or permit
be delayed, the CONTRACTOR shall schedule and perform the work around these
areas until such a time as the easement or permit has been secured.
E. Land Monuments: The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER of any existing Federal,
State, Town, County, and private land monuments encountered. Private monuments shall
be preserved, or replaced by a licensed surveyor at the CONTRACTOR's expense.
When Government monuments are encountered, the CONTRACTOR shall notify the
ENGINEER at least two (2) weeks in advance of the proposed construction in order that
the ENGINEER will have ample opportunity to notify the proper authority and reference
these monuments for later replacement.

REVISION OF SECTION 105
CONTROL OF WORK
Section 105 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows:
Subsection 105.02 shall be replaced with:
Submittals
A. Requirements:
1. Where required by the Specifications, the CONTRACTOR shall submit descriptive
information that will enable the ENGINEER to determine whether the CONTRACTOR’s
proposed materials, equipment, methods of work are in general conformance to the
design concept and in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications. The information
submitted may consist of drawings, specifications, descriptive data, certificates, samples,
test results, product data, and such other information, all as specifically required in the
Specifications. In some instances, specified submittal information describes some, but
not all features of the material, equipment, or method of work.
2. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the
information contained in each submittal and shall assure that the material, equipment, or
method of work shall be as described in the submittal. The CONTRACTOR shall verify
that all features of all products conform to the requirements of the Drawings and
Specifications. The CONTRACTOR shall ensure that there is no conflict with other
submittals and notify the ENGINEER in each case where its submittal may affect the work
of another CONTRACTOR or the OWNER. The CONTRACTOR shall ensure
coordination of submittals among the related crafts and subcontractors.
3. Submittals will be reviewed for overall design intent and returned to CONTRACTOR with
action to be indicated by the ENGINEER. It shall be the CONTRACTOR’s responsibility
to assure that previously accepted documents are destroyed when they are superseded
by a resubmittal as such.
4. It shall be the CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to ensure that required items are corrected
and resubmitted. Any work done before approval shall be at the CONTRACTOR’s own
risk.
B. Submittal Procedure:
1. Unless a different number is called for in the individual sections, six (6) copies of each
submittal and sample are required, four (4) of which will be retained by the ENGINEER.
The CONTRACTOR shall receive two (2) copies in return. Faxed submittals will not be
accepted.
Submittals that are related to or affect each other shall be forwarded simultaneously as a
package to facilitate coordinated review. Uncoordinated submittals will be rejected.
3. If the items or system proposed are acceptable but the major part of the individual
drawings or documents are incomplete or require revision, the submittal will be returned
with requirements for completion.

REVISION OF SECTION 105
CONTROL OF WORK
4. The right is reserved for the ENGINEER to require submittals in addition to those called
for in individual sections.
5. Submittals regarding material and equipment shall be submitted directly to the
ENGINEER and will be accompanied by a transmittal form. A separate form shall be used
for each specific item, class of material, equipment, and items specified in separate
discrete sections for which the submittal is required. Submittals for various items shall be
made with a single form when the items taken together constitute a manufacturer’s
package or are so functionally related that expediency indicates checking or review of the
group or package as a whole.
6. A unique number, sequentially assigned, shall be noted on the transmittal form
accompanying each item submitted. Original submittal numbers shall have the following
format: “XXX-Y;” where “XXX” is the originally assigned submittal number and “Y” is a
sequential letter assigned for resubmittals (i.e., A, B, or C being the first, second and third
resubmittals, respectively). Submittal 25B, for example, is the second resubmittal of
Submittal 25.
7. If the CONTRACTOR proposes to provide material, equipment, or method of work that
deviates from the Contract Documents, it shall indicate so under “deviations” on the
transmittal form accompanying the submittal copies.
8. Submittals that do not have all the information required to be submitted, including
deviations, are not acceptable and will be returned without review.
C. Review Procedure:
1. Submittals are specified for those features and characteristics of materials, equipment,
and methods of operation that can be selected based on the CONTRACTOR’s judgment
of their conformance to the requirements of the Drawing and Specifications. Other
features and characteristics are specified in a manner that enables the CONTRACTOR to
determine acceptable options without submittals. The review procedure is based on the
CONTRACTOR’s guarantee that all features and characteristics not requiring submittals
conform to the Drawings and Specifications. Review shall not extend to means, methods,
techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or to verifying quantities,
dimensions, weights or gages, or fabrication processes (except where specifically
indicated or required by the Specifications) of separate items, and as such, will not
indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions.
2. Unless otherwise specified, within twenty-one (21) calendar days after receipt of the
submittal, the ENGINEER will review the submittal and return copies. The returned
submittal will indicate one of the following actions:
a. If the review indicates that the material, equipment, or work method complies with the
Specifications, submittal copies will be marked “NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN”. In this
event, the CONTRACTOR may begin to implement the work method or incorporate
the material or equipment covered by the submittal.

such that the base of the truncated dome is at the same elevation as the adjoining surface,
allowing for a smooth transition between the curb ramp and the detectable warning.
When cut pavers are required to fill gaps between the pavers and the edge of concrete, the
Contractor shall bevel portions of the truncated domes at a 45-degree angle to create a
smooth transition between the partial dome and the curb ramp surface. Unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer, pavers shall be cut and installed in such a manner that the domes
on the cut sections will not significantly impact the overall pattern of the truncated domes.
The Contractor shall use a plate vibrator to embed the pavers into the sand. The size and

Subject: Taft Hill Pavement
Dan -
I had a conversation with our Pavement Management folks and we agreed that the best way to
build the pavement section is:
A single 2.5 inch lift of S (100) (PG 64-28) over a single 4 inch lift of SG (100) (PG
58-28)
It should be relatively simple to transition from a 2.5 inch top lift on the full
reconstruction portion to a 2.0 inch lift on the mill and inlay portion.
Please make the appropriate changes to the plans and estimate. Let me know if you have
any questions.
Thanks.

Thanks Dave,
FYI,
The top layer of asphalt will need to be S 100 64-28 lower layers are SG 100 58-28

Dan and Dave -
Thanks for updating the report.
Rick Richter and I have discussed this and we agree that the new
Structural Number is appropriate.
However, we likely will look at modifying the proposed sections
seeking
to reduce the overall pavement thickness by increasing the asphalt and
decreasing the base course and/or fly ash. We would be more
comfortable
with a thicker asphalt section on an arterial street plus we will
reduce
the chance of utility conflict by reducing the overall thickness. Dan
-
make sure to talk to me about this before we use the pavement section
recommendations from the report for the earthwork model or cost
estimating.
Thanks.

Daniel,
Thanks for the update and confirmation. Based on the revised 18-kip
EDLA value of 325 versus 200, the new structural number would be 4.02
versus 3.73. I have included herein a revised AASHTO spreadsheet with
the revised pavement thickness alternatives. Please feel free to
contact us at your convenience.

I agree with Dean. Based on calculations by our traffic engineers we
projected about 25,000 ADT. We did two scenarios; 3% trucks and 6%
trucks. 3% trucks calculated the ESAL value at 1,316,802 and 6%
trucks
calculated the ESAL at 2,460,821.
Calculation spreadsheet is attached.

Dave and Dan -
I received the Geotechnical Engineering Report for the South Taft Hill
Projects.
Generally it looks good, however you did use a low number for the
EDLA.
Usually Rick Ritcher in our office calculates this number for all
City
projects. The EDLA number he calculated is 325 (the EDLA used in the
report is 200) based on a 2025 ADT of 25,000 and 7% trucks. The EDLA
for 38E (100) looks fine. Please revise the report to make this
change.
Hopefully it is a minor revision.
Thanks.
