I. PURPOSE & BACKGROUND
A. PURPOSE
The City of Fort Collins is requesting proposals from qualified Contractors to perform
directional boring and/or trenching operations, potholing to locate underground utilities or
verify clear zones for traffic signal caisson installation, vacuum excavation of traffic signal
caissons and to dewater caissons.
The City of Fort Collins Light & Power Operations Department (L&P) will be the primary
users of this contract, while the Traffic Operations Department will also request work of the
chosen Contractors. Additional City departments may utilize this contract occasionally. The
selected Contractor(s) will work closely with L&P crews, L&P customers, and other City
Project Managers.
The City intends to select Contractor(s) to perform directional boring and/or trenching
operations to assist L&P, Traffic and other City departments in installing conduits and
enclosures for underground electric lines and fiber optic lines, mostly in existing
subdivisions, potholing and vacuum excavation. Services required may also include traffic
control, landscaping, concrete/asphalt repair, sewer locates, irrigation repair, as well as
buying and storing materials for the City.
The City of Fort Collins makes no guarantee as to the number of Work Orders or actual
amount of services which will be awarded under this contract. Quantities in the bid tab will
be used for bidding and award purposes only.
The selected Contractor(s) may be retained by the City of Fort Collins Utilities annually for
up to five years to provide these services as they are required. The City of Fort Collins shall
have the option to bid specific projects as deemed necessary.
B. L&P BACKGROUND
Throughout the City of Fort Collins there are areas of underground electric lines that are
nearing the end of their life-cycle. Many of these are over 30 years old and have been
marked for “reconstruction”. This typically will involve installing new electric lines in the front
of lots and will require directional boring and/or trenching. Electric and fiber mains as well
as services will be installed throughout the process. A smaller project may consist of a single
pothole.
Some areas recently annexed to the City will have some construction to underground
existing overhead and/or “rebuild” existing underground. This area of work will include
residential as well as business customers. Light & Power’s (L&P) Project Managers (PM)
will draw up Work Orders with mapping for all of the work to be done.
Conduits, cables, flush-mounted vaults, transformers and switch cabinets will be installed
during the course of the awarded contract(s). The main area of assistance from a
Contractor will be in the installing of the conduits as well as at times non-energized cables
for services to customers. This likely will include directional boring as well as trenching.
The Contractor(s) are expected to possess the experienced personnel, the proper
equipment, and the necessary tools to trench and/or directional bore in a wide variety of
differing physical locations and conditions (including shale), to backfill, compact, remove
spoils from trenching/directional boring, compact and re-landscape with various materials,
and to install L&P’s equipment.
8820 Directional Boring & Trenching RFP Page 4 of 126
C. TRAFFIC OPERATIONS BACKGROUND
The scope of work for Traffic Operations will vary from potholes and vacuum excavation to
directional boring and trenching.
Construction activities specific to Traffic Operations work may include:
1. Directional boring and/or trenching to install conduit.
2. Potholing to locate underground utilities or verify clear zones for traffic signal caisson
installation.
3. Vacuum excavation of traffic signal caissons.
4. Dewatering caissons.
D. BROADBAND OPERATIONS BACKGROUND
Any award from this RFP 8820 will not encompass the initial installation of Broadband. The
initial installation of Broadband has been awarded under a separate RFP titled 8696 Design,
Engineering and Construction Services for a Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) Broadband
Network.
If Broadband bore work is requested from the Contractors awarded under RFP 8820, it will
be in areas not covered by RFP 8696. Typical broadband infrastructure that may be
requested will be 2” and 1 ¼” rolled duct and various flush mount vaults.
II. SCOPE OF PROPOSAL

Definitions
Sustainable Purchasing is a process for selecting products or services that have a lesser or
reduced negative effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing
products or services that serve the same purpose. This process is also known as
“Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP), or “Green Purchasing”.
The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting framework that incorporates three dimensions of
performance: economic, or financial; environmental, and social. The generally accepted
definition of Andrew Savitz for TBL is that it “captures the essence of sustainability by
measuring the impact of an organization’s activities on the world…including both its profitability
and shareholders values and its social, human, and environmental capital.”

Drilling Fluid (Drilling Mud):
Of primary concern for directional drilling installations is the dissipation of heat (also known as
the thermal conductivity), and the effect on cable current-carrying capacity (ampacity rating)
resulting from the thermal properties and possible void formation in the drilling fluids used.
Drilling fluids used for directional drilling shall be bentonite-based fluids and shall be adequately
compacted and applied to minimize voids around the installed conduits. For smaller jobs where
the drilling fluid is not recycled and is used as the backfill around electric conduits, it shall have
a thermal resistivity between 62 oC·cm/W (for fully saturated mixes) and 90 oC·cm/W (for
unsaturated state at the time of deposition). For larger jobs where the drilling fluid is recycled,
the space immediately surrounding the conduits (with or without a bore casing) shall be filled
with a fluidized thermal backfill or slurry with similar thermal resistivity values to those previously
mentioned for the drilling fluid to assure efficient heat transfer from the cables installed in the
conduits.

allowed in accordance with Article 12 of the General Conditions. They also recognize
the delays, expenses and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual
loss suffered by OWNER if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly instead of
requiring any such proof, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated
damages for delay (but not as penalty) CONTACTOR shall pay OWNER the amounts
set forth hereafter.
1) Substantial Completion: Written Dollar Amount ($Numerical Dollar Amount) for
each calendar day or fraction thereof after Date until the work is Substantially

PROGRESS PAYMENTS. OWNER shall make progress payments on account of the

basis of the progress of the Work measured by the schedule of values established in

retainage five percent (5%) of each progress payment, but, in each case, less the
aggregate of payments previously made and less such amounts as OWNER may
withhold, in accordance with paragraph 14.7 of the General Conditions. If, in the sole
discretion of Owner, Owner determines that the character and progress of the Work
have been satisfactory to OWNER, OWNER may determine that as long as the
character and progress of the Work remain satisfactory to them, there will be no
additional retainage on account of Work completed in which case the remaining
progress payments prior to Substantial Completion will be in an amount equal to
100% of the Work completed. 95% of materials and equipment not incorporated in
the Work (but delivered, suitably stored and accompanied by documentation
satisfactory to OWNER as provided in paragraph 14.2 of the General Conditions)
may be included in the application Section 00960.
Upon Substantial Completion payment will be made in an amount sufficient, if necessary, to
increase total payments to CONTRACTOR to 95% of the Contract Price, less such amounts
as OWNER may withhold in accordance with paragraph 14.7 of the General Conditions or
as provided by law.
Upon Final Completion and Acceptance of the Work in accordance with paragraph 14.13 of
the General Conditions, OWNER shall pay the remainder of the Contract Price as provided
in said paragraph 14.13.

consider your Work Order Proposal abandoned and to annul this Work Order & Notice of
Award.

In case of the breach of any provision of the Insurance Requirements, the City, at its
option, may take out and maintain, at the expense of the Service Provider, such
insurance as the City may deem proper and may deduct the cost of such insurance from

8820 Directional Boring & Trenching Page 70 of 126
EXHIBIT
CONFIDENTIALITY
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES to be provided by Professional under this
Agreement, the parties agree to comply with reasonable policies and procedures with regard to
the exchange and handling of confidential information and other sensitive materials between the
parties, as set forth below.
1. Definitions.
For purposes of this Agreement, the party who owns the confidential information and is
disclosing same shall be referenced as the “Disclosing Party.” The party receiving the
Disclosing Party’s confidential information shall be referenced as the “Receiving Party.”
2. Confidential Information.
Confidential Information controlled by this Agreement refers to information which is not
public and/or is proprietary and includes by way of example, but without limitation, City
customer information, utility data, service billing records, customer equipment information,
location information, network security system, business plans, formulae, processes,
intellectual property, trade secrets, designs, photographs, plans, drawings, schematics,
methods, specifications, samples, reports, mechanical and electronic design drawings,
customer lists, financial information, studies, findings, inventions, and ideas.
To the extent practical, Confidential Information shall be marked “Confidential” or
“Proprietary.” Nevertheless, Professional shall treat as Confidential Information all customer
identifiable information in any form, whether or not bearing a mark of confidentiality or
otherwise requested by the City, including but not limited to account, address, billing,
consumption, contact and other customer data. In the case of disclosure in non-
documentary form of non-customer identifiable information, made orally or by visual
inspection, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, or, if requested by the Receiving Party,
the obligation to confirm in writing the fact and general nature of each disclosure within a
reasonable time after it is made in order that it is treated as Confidential Information. Any
information disclosed to the other party prior to the execution of this Agreement and related
to the services for which Professional has been engaged shall be considered in the same
manner and be subject to the same treatment as the information disclosed after the
execution of this Agreement with regard to protecting it as Confidential Information.
3. Use of Confidential Information.
Receiving Party hereby agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information solely for the
purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement and not in any way detrimental
to Disclosing Party. Receiving Party agrees to use the same degree of care Receiving Party
uses with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information, which in any event shall
result in a reasonable standard of care to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the
Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, Receiving Party shall keep
confidential and not disclose the Confidential Information. The City and Professional shall
cause each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and
subcontractors to become familiar with, and abide by, the terms of this section, which shall
survive this Agreement as an on-going obligation of the Parties.
Professional shall not use such information to obtain any economic or other benefit for itself,
or any third party, other than in the performance of obligations under this Agreement.
8820 Directional Boring & Trenching Page 71 of 126
4. Exclusions from Definition.
The term “Confidential Information” as used herein does not include any data or information
which is already known to the Receiving Party or which before being divulged by the
Disclosing Party (1) was generally known to the public through no wrongful act of the
Receiving Party; (2) has been rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party
without restriction on disclosure and without, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, a
breach of an obligation of confidentiality; (3) has been approved for release by a written
authorization by the other party hereto; or (4) has been disclosed pursuant to a requirement
of a governmental agency or by operation of law.
5. Required Disclosure.
If the Receiving Party is required (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process, or by federal, state, or local law,
including without limitation, the Colorado Open Records Act) to disclose any Confidential
Information, the Parties agree the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with
prompt notice of such request, so the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective
order or waive the Receiving Party’s compliance with this Agreement.
The Receiving Party shall furnish a copy of this Agreement with any disclosure.
6. Notwithstanding paragraph 5, Professional shall not disclose Confidential Information to any
person, directly or indirectly, nor use it in any way, except as required or authorized in
writing by the City.
7. Red Flags Rules.
Professional must implement reasonable policies and procedures to detect, prevent and
mitigate the risk of identity theft in compliance with the Identity Theft Red Flags Rules found
at 16 Code of Federal Regulations part 681. Further, Professional must take appropriate
steps to mitigate identity theft if it occurs with one or more of the City’s covered accounts
and must as expeditiously as possible notify the City in writing of significant breeches of
security or Red Flags to the City.
8. Data Protection and Data Security.
In addition to the requirements of paragraph 7, Professional shall have in place information
security safeguards designed to conform to or exceed industry best practices regarding the
protection of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of utility and customer information
and shall have written agreements requiring any subcontractor to meet those standards.
These information security safeguards (the “Information Security Program”) shall be
materially consistent with, or more stringent than, the safeguards described in this Exhibit.
a) Professional’s information security safeguards shall address the following elements:
• Data Storage, Backups and Disposal
• Logical Access Control (e.g., Role-Based)
• Information Classification and Handling
• Secure Data Transfer (SFTP and Data Transfer Specification)
• Secure Web Communications
• Network and Security Monitoring
• Application Development Security
• Application Security Controls and Procedures (User Authentication, Security
8820 Directional Boring & Trenching Page 72 of 126
Controls, and Security Procedures, Policies and Logging)
• Incident Response
• Vulnerability Assessments
• Hosted Services
• Personnel Security
b) Subcontractors. Professional may use subcontractors, though such activity shall not
release or absolve Professional from the obligation to satisfy all conditions of this
Agreement, including the data security measures described in this Exhibit, and to require
a substantially similar level of data security, appropriate to the types of services provided
and Customer Data received, for any subcontractor Professional may use. Accordingly,
any release of data, confidential information, or failure to protect information under this
Agreement by a subcontractor or affiliated party shall be attributed to Professional and
may be considered to be a material breach of this Agreement.
9. Confidential Information is not to be stored on any local workstation, laptop, or media such
as CD/DVD, USB drives, external hard drives or other similar portable devices unless the
Professional can ensure security for the Confidential Information so stored. Work stations or
laptops to be used in the Work will be required to have personal firewalls on each, as well as
have current, active anti-virus definitions.
10. The Agreement not to disclose Confidential Information as set forth in this Exhibit shall apply
during the term of the Work and at any time thereafter unless specifically authorized by the
City in writing.
11. If Professional breaches this Agreement, in the City’s sole discretion, the City may
immediately terminate this Agreement and withdraw Professional’s right to access
Confidential Information.
12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all material, i.e., various physical
forms of media in which Confidential Information is contained, including but not limited to
writings, drawings, tapes, diskettes, prototypes or products, shall remain the sole property of
the Disclosing Party and, upon request, shall be promptly returned, together with all copies
thereof to the Disclosing Party. Upon such return of physical records, all digital and
electronic data shall also be deleted in a non-restorable way by which it is no longer
available to the Receiving Party. Written verification of the deletion (including date of
deletion) is to be provided to the Disclosing Party within ten (10) days after completion of
engagement, whether it be via termination, completion or otherwise.
13. Professional acknowledges that the City may, based upon the representations made in this
Agreement, disclose security information that is critical to the continued success of the City’s
business. Accordingly, Professional agrees that the City does not have an adequate remedy
at law for breach of this Agreement and therefore, the City shall be entitled, as a non-
exclusive remedy, and in addition to an action for damages, to seek and obtain an injunction
or decree of specific performance or any other remedy, from a court of competent
jurisdiction to enjoin or remedy any violation of this Agreement.
