SECTION 1 - SCOPE OF THESE GENERAL CONDITIONS
These General Conditions encompass provisions that apply, and are incorporated into all
construction contracts entered into by the City of Chandler, unless otherwise specifically excluded in the
executed Contract.
SECTION 2 - GENERAL DEFINITIONS
Allowance : A specific amount for a specific item of Work, if any, that City agrees has not been sufficiently
designed, detailed, or selected (including design changes from 90% to 100% as authorized by and at
the discretion of the City) at the time the Contract Price is agreed to for Contractor to provide a definitive
price.
Alternate Systems Evaluations or Alternative Analysis: Alternatives for design, means and methods or
other scope considerations that are evaluated using value analysis principles and have the potential to
reduce construction costs while still delivering a quality and functional Project that meets City
requirements.
Change Order: A written instrument issued after execution of the Contract Documents signed by City
and Contractor, stating their agreement upon all of the following: the addition, deletion or revision in
the scope of services or deliverables; the amount of the adjustment to the Contract Price, the extent
of the adjustment to the Contract Time, or modifications of other contract terms. The Contract Price
and the Contract Time may be changed only by Change Order.
Consultant: Person or firm that provides professional services.
City (Owner or OWNER): City of Chandler, a municipal corporation, with whom Contractor has entered
into the Contract and for whom the Work or Services are to be provided pursuant to the Contract(s).
Contingent Bid Items: This is a minor bid item which is likely, but not certain, to occur during the course
of work. If the Engineer determines that this work is required, the Contractor will accomplish the work
and payment will be made based on the contingent unit bid price included in the proposal. Since the
quantity listed in the proposal is primarily for bid comparison, the amount of work required by the
Engineer may vary materially from this.
Contract: The written agreement executed between City and Contractor, including all of the Contract
Documents.
Contract Documents: The documents which together form the Contract between City and Contractor,
as identified in Article 2 of the Contract, or are otherwise incorporated into the Contract, including the
Contract, the exhibits thereto, these General Conditions, any Notice to Proceed, and any Job Order
(if applicable), the Plans and Specifications, Project Schedule, written and properly executed Change
Orders, MAG Specifications and City’s amendments thereto, and any other documents so designated in
the Contract.
Contract Price: The agreed-upon price to be paid to Contractor for full, timely, and acceptable completion
of the Work or Services under the terms of the Contract.
Contract Time(s): The number of calendar days or the dates related to the applicable phase, Substantial
Completion, or Final Acceptance as stated in Contract Documents. Contract Time starts with the Notice
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-4 of 75
to Proceed (NTP) and ends with Final Acceptance. The Contract Time is set forth in the Contract and
is based upon the Project Schedule agreed to by City in writing.
Contractor: The person or business association with whom City has entered into an agreement for
construction related Work or Services in relation to the Project at issue.
Contractor Payment Request: The form that is accepted by City and used by Contractor in requesting
progress payments or final payment and which must include such supporting documentation as is
required by the Contract Documents or City.
Construction Budget: The City’s budget for construction of the Project.
Construction Documents: The Plans, Specifications, and Drawings prepared and issued by the Design
Professional and approved by City for construction, meaning the documents are sealed by the
Design Professional (as required), acceptable for permitting and incorporated into the Contract by
this reference. All amendments and modifications to the Construction Documents must be approved in
writing by City prior to incorporation into the Contract.
Cost of the Work: The term Cost of the Work will mean costs necessarily incurred by Contractor in the
proper performance of the Work. Such costs will be at rates not higher than the standard paid at the
place of the Project except with prior consent of City.
Critical Path Method (CPM): A scheduling technique which identifies the logical sequence of the activities
occurring in a Construction Project, the anticipated time required to complete each activity in the
Project, and the activities that must be completed on schedule to finish the Project within the anticipated
time. Typically, activities are arranged in a network that shows both activities and their dependencies.
CPM is also used as a management technique which enables contracting parties to predict when
activities may occur so that resources can be effectively used and limitations can be identified.
Critical Path: Critical Path is the sequence of project network activities which add up to the longest overall
duration. Once established in the Project Schedule, the Critical Path for the Project must not be
changed without prior written approval of City.
Day: Calendar day(s) unless otherwise specifically stated in the Contract Documents.
Design Professional: The qualified, licensed person, firm or corporation who furnishes design and
construction administration services required under the Contract Documents. These services may
include, but are not limited to: development of Construction Drawings and Documents, review of
Contractor Submittal(s), review of and response
to
Requests for Information, approval and
certification of progress payment applications, construction administration, and construction contract
close out.
Differing Site Conditions: Concealed or latent physical conditions or subsurface conditions at the Site
that, (i) materially differ from the conditions indicated in the Contract Documents, or (ii) are of an unusual
nature, differing materially from the conditions ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as
inherent in the Work at the general area of the Site. Caliche, rock, hard-digging or sandy/silty soil
encountered on a project is not considered a “Differing Site Condition.”
Drawings (Plans): Documents, which visually represent the scope, extent and character of the Work to
be furnished and performed by Contractor during the construction phase and which have been prepared
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-5 of 75
or approved by the Design Professional and City. These documents include Drawings that have reached
a sufficient state of completion and released by Design Professional solely for the purposes of review
and use in performing constructability or bid-ability reviews by Contractor and in preparing cost
estimates (e.g. Master Planning and Programming, Schematic Design, Design Development, and
Construction Drawings), but “not for construction.” Shop Drawings are not Drawings as so defined.
Final Acceptance: The City’s acceptance of the facility or project from the Contractor after all Work is
completed, tested, and inspected in accordance with the contract requirements. Final Acceptance results
in a Letter of Acceptance (LOA).
Fixed Price: A fixed price or amount for a Contract Price, Scope of Work, materials, or other item under
a Contract, Change Order, or other agreement, which City agrees, in writing, to pay instead of the actual
cost.
Float: The number of Days by which an activity can be delayed without lengthening the Critical Path and
extending the Contract Time. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, all Float belongs to City.
Laws, Regulations, or Legal Requirements: Any and all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances,
codes and orders applicable to the Project of any and all governmental bodies, agencies, authorities
and courts having jurisdiction and any applicable provisions of the Development Agreement for the
Project (if any), including, without limitation, those provisions relating to the design and construction
of the Project.
Line Item: The individual elements of Work identified on a bid or other schedule and associated with a
price or a unit price and quantity particular to that individual element of the Work. Also refers to
individual items of work within the Schedule of Values.
Liquidated Damages: Designated damages for the City to collect as compensation upon a specific breach
(example: late delivery).
Long-Lead Item: Long-lead item refers to the equipment, product, or system that is identified at the
earliest stage of a project to have a delivery time long enough to affect directly the Critical Path/the overall
lead time of the project.
MAG: The Maricopa Association of Governments.
MAG Specifications: The most current version of the Uniform Standard Specifications for Public Works
Construction published by MAG.
MAG Standard Details: The most current version of the Uniform Standard Details as published by MAG.
Minor change: A change in the Work having no impact on cost or time or the City-approved design intent,
as determined by City.

and location of all utilities prior to the start of construction. No field work will be allowed to
start until Contractor has contacted Arizona 811 and all affected utilities have been located.
In addition Contractor must expose and physically locate all potentially conflicting utilities
prior to construction. The actual locations of the utilities must be compared to locations
shown on the Plans and any required changes in alignment and grade must be made at the
time of construction in consultation with Project Manager. It is generally recognized and
Contractor should anticipate that information from Arizona 811 or information from utility
companies during project design, frequently fails to disclose all underground facilities. The
fact that more utility lines or other underground facilities are located in the Project Site than
shown on the Project Plans does not constitute an “unforeseen Condition” and such
undisclosed underground facilities do not differ materially from the conditions which
Contractor should expect. The provisions of Sections 105.4, 105.6, 107.11 and 109.8.1 of the
MAG Uniform Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction apply and are
incorporated herein by this reference.

inspection, testing, or approval. Contractor must also be responsible for and must pay all
costs in connection with any inspection or testing required by the Specifications in
connection with City's acceptance of a manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or distributor of
materials or equipment proposed to be incorporated in the Work, or of materials or
equipment submitted for approval prior to Contractor's purchase thereof for incorporation
in the Work. The cost of all other inspections, tests and approvals required by the Contract
Documents will be paid by City (unless otherwise specified).
4.4.13.3
All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by law, ordinance, rule,
regulation, code or order of any public body having jurisdiction must be performed by
organizations acceptable to City and by the Design Professional if so specified.

excavation at the location of the test (i.e., cut to flow line [if applicable], depth to bottom
or top of pipe, etc.). Density tests must be numbered sequentially. If the minimum number
of tests has not been performed per the written QCTP, this must be stated in the weekly
summary report with an explanation of the circumstances.
4.7.1.10
The City will maintain a copy of the Project test results and weekly reports in the Project
file. In cases where quality control activities do not comply with the contract provisions, the
City may:
a. Order the Contractor to replace ineffective or unqualified quality control
personnel.
b. Order the Contractor to stop operations until appropriate corrective action is
taken.
4.7.1.11
Although minimum testing requirements are specified herein, the Contractor bears full
responsibility for the quality of the materials and their installation and may elect to
perform additional testing beyond the requirements set forth herein to ensure compliance.
4.7.1.12
The Quality Control requirements contained in this Section are in addition to and separate
from Quality Assurance Testing, which will be performed by the City of Chandler or its
representative. If the Quality Assurance test results are not in agreement with the Quality
Control test results, the Contractor will have the option to retain a third party consultant for
referee tests. The third party consultant must meet the same requirements as the
consultant performing the Quality Control Testing. The results of the third party will be
binding. All cost incurred by the referee testing will be the Contractor’s expense. If the
Contractor elects not to retain a third party for referee testing, the City of Chandler test
results will prevail.
4.7.1.13
Except as otherwise noted within this Section, Work or materials required by this Section are
non- pay items. Per MAG Section 101, a non-pay item is an item of Work for which no

General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-23 of 75
make specific mention thereof in the Letter of Transmittal; otherwise review of such
submittals by City will not constitute review of the departure. Review of the Drawings will
constitute review of the specific subject matter for which the Drawings were submitted
and not of any other structure, material, equipment, or apparatus shown on the Drawings.
4.7.3.9
The review of Shop Drawings will be general and will not relieve Contractor of responsibility
for the accuracy of such Drawings, nor for the proper fitting and construction of the Work,

WARRANTY AND CORRECTION OF DEFECTIVE WORK
4.9.1
Contractor warrants to City that the construction, including all materials and equipment
furnished as part of the Work, will be new unless otherwise specified in the Contract
Documents, of good quality, and free of defects in materials and workmanship. Contractor’s
warranty obligation excludes defects caused by abuse, alterations, or unreasonable failure
to maintain the construction by persons other than Contractor, subcontractors, or others
under Contractor’s control. Nothing in this warranty will limit any manufacturer’s warranty
which provides City with greater warranty rights than set forth herein or in the Contract.
Contractor will provide City with all manufacturers’ warranties and operation and
maintenance manuals upon substantial completion of the Work. Contractor’s warranty
must be for one (1) year, in accordance with MAG Specification § 108.8, and will commence
for all portions of the Work upon Final Acceptance of the entire Work as determined by City
under the Contract. All statutory or other warranties, express or implied, related to latent
defects will remain in force and are not limited by this provision.
4.9.2
City May Stop the Work. If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient
skilled workmen or suitable materials or equipment, City may order Contractor to stop the
Work without cost to City, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-25 of 75
eliminated; however, this right of City to stop the Work will not give rise to any duty on the
part of City to exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor or any other party.
4.9.3
Correction or Removal of Defective Work.
4.9.3.1
If required by City, Contractor must promptly, without cost to City and as specified by City,
either correct any defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if
the Work has been rejected by City, remove it from the Site and replace it with non-defective
Work. Contractor must correct any Work which may be displaced in correcting, removing or
replacing defective Work. No compensation will be allowed Contractor for such removal,
replacement or remedial Work. Contractor must reimburse City for costs incurred by City
due to such correction or removal including but not limited to additional expenses for
inspection, testing or observation and for repeated reviews by the City or Design
Professional.
4.9.3.2
Upon failure on the part of the Contractor to comply within a reasonably prompt time with
any written order of City to correct or remove defective Work, City has authority to cause
nonconforming materials or rejected Work to be remedied, removed, or replaced at the
Contractor's expense and to deduct the costs from any moneys due or to become due the
Contractor.
4.9.4
City May Correct Defective Work. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written
notice of City to proceed to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work
as required by City or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including any requirements of the progress schedule), City may, after 7 Days'
written notice to Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. To the extent
necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, City may exclude Contractor from all
or part of the Work, and suspend Contractor's services related thereto, take possession of
Contractor's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the Site and
incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which City has
paid Contractor, but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor must allow City, city
representatives, agents and employees such access to the Site as may be necessary to
enable City to exercise City’s rights under this Section. All direct and indirect costs of City in
exercising such rights will be charged against Contractor in an amount verified by City
representative, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in
the Contract Documents and a reduction in the Contract Price. Such direct and indirect
costs will include, in particular but without limitation, compensation for additional
professional services required and all costs of repair and replacement of Work or others
destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of Contractor's defective
Work. Contractor will not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay
in Contractor’s performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by City or City's rights
hereunder.
4.9.5
Correction or Removal of Unauthorized Work.
4.9.5.1
Any Work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the Drawings or established by the
Design Professional or any changes in, additions to, or deductions from the Work done
without written authority will be considered as unauthorized and will not be paid for. Work
so done may be ordered remedied, removed, or replaced at the Contractor's expense.
4.9.5.2
Upon failure on the part of the Contractor to comply promptly with any order of the City,
City will have authority to cause unauthorized Work to be remedied, removed, or replaced

at the Contractor's expense and to deduct the costs from any moneys due or to become
due the Contractor.
4.9.6
Correction Period - One Year Guarantee.
4.9.6.1
If, within one year after the date of Final Acceptance, or such longer period of time as may
be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the
Contract Documents, or by any specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work is
found to be defective, Contractor must promptly, without cost to City and in accordance
with City's written instructions, either correct such defective Work, or, if it has been rejected
by City, remove it from the Site and replace it with non-defective Work. If Contractor does
not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay
would cause serious risk of loss or damage, City may have the defective Work corrected or
the rejected Work removed and replaced, and all direct and indirect costs of such removal
and replacement, including compensation for additional professional services, must be paid
by Contractor. Such action by the City will not relieve the Contractor of the guarantees
required by this Section or elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
4.9.6.2
If, in the opinion of the City, defective Work creates a dangerous condition or requires
immediate correction or attention to prevent further loss to the City or to prevent
interruption of operation of the City, the City will attempt to give the notice required by this
Section. If the Contractor cannot be contacted or does not comply with the City's request
for correction within a reasonable time as determined by the City, the City may,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, proceed to make such correction or provide
such attention; and the costs of such correction or attention will be charged against the
Contractor. Such action by the City will not relieve the Contractor of the guarantees
required by this Section or elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
4.9.6.3
This Section does not in any way limit the guarantee on any items for which a longer
guarantee is specified or on any items for which a manufacturer or supplier gives a
guarantee for a longer period. The Contractor agrees to act as co-guarantor with such
manufacturer or supplier and must furnish the City all appropriate guarantee or warranty
certificates upon completion of the Project. No guarantee period, whether provided for in
this Section or elsewhere, will in any way limit the liability of Contractor or their sureties or
insurers under the indemnity or insurance provisions of these General Conditions and the
Project Specific Special Conditions.
4.9.7
Acceptance of Defective Work.
4.9.7.1
If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, City may
accept Work when in the best interest of the City to do so with appropriate monetary credit
from Contractor. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, a Change Order will
be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents, including
appropriate reduction in the Contract Price; or, if the acceptance occurs after final payment,
an appropriate amount must be paid by Contractor to City.
4.9.7.2
Alternatively, City may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense, a special
performance guarantee or other surety prior to acceptance of defective work.
4.9.8
The Warranty period begins on the Final Acceptance date noted in the Certificate of
Completion, irrespective of early completion by some Subcontractors of their work.
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-27 of 75
4.9.9
Contractor’s warranty obligation must be in accordance with MAG Specifications.
4.9.10
Nothing in the warranties contained in the Contract Documents are intended to limit any
manufacturer’s warranty which provides City with greater warranty rights than set forth
in this
Section or the Contract Documents. Contractor must provide City with all
manufacturers’ warranties
prior to Substantial Completion, if applicable, or Final
Acceptance.
4.9.11
Contractor agrees that it will be responsible to manage and administer the correction of any
Work that is not in conformance with the Contract Documents during the warranty periods
set forth in this Section, or during any longer periods to the extent required by the Contract
Documents. A progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by City,
will not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.
4.9.12
When notified of a warranty issue, Contractor must respond in writing within 48-hours and
must perform warranty Work as soon as material for said repairs are available (as judged
solely by City), and in any event Contractor must, take immediate steps to commence and
complete correction of nonconforming Work no later than the time period set forth in
City’s written notification in accordance with the Contract Documents. This includes the
correction, removal or replacement of the nonconforming Work and any damage caused
to other parts of the Work affected by the nonconforming Work. If defects develop which
are determined by City to be an emergency, City will notify Contractor, via the most
expeditious means regarding the nature and condition of the defects. In turn, Contractor
must immediately dispatch necessary forces to correct the defect or the emergency
condition in accordance with Contract Documents.
4.9.13
The time periods referenced in this Section apply only to Contractor’s obligation to
correct nonconforming Work and is not intended to constitute a period of limitations for any
other rights or remedies that City may have regarding Contractor’s other obligations under
the Contract Documents.
4.9.14

at the cost of reproduction.
SECTION 6 - CONTRACT TIME
6.1
CONTRACT TIME
6.1.1
The Contract Time will start with the Notice to Proceed (“NTP”) and end with Final
Acceptance.
6.1.2
Beginning on the date of the NTP, Contractor must begin to fulfill Contractor’s obligations
under the Contract. Contractor’s obligations include providing City and other agencies
with any submittals required by the Project Specific Special Provisions, including but not
limited to, an approved Project Schedule, Traffic Control Plans, and a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. Contractor must submit all such required submittals before any physical
construction work commences on the Site. NTP does not authorize construction work
until all contract insurance, bonds, and schedules are submitted to and accepted by the
City.
6.1.3
The Contract Time will be as set forth in the Project Schedule. Contractor agrees that it
will commence performance of the Work and complete the Project through both
Substantial Completion and Final Acceptance within the Contract Time.
6.1.4
Time is of the essence of this Contract, for the Project, for the Work, and for each phase and
designated Milestone thereof.
6.1.5
Failure of Contractor to perform any covenant or condition contained in the Contract
Documents within the time periods specified herein, will constitute a material breach of this
Contract entitling City to terminate the Contract unless Contractor applies for and receives
an extension of time, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Contract
Documents.
6.1.6
Failure of City to insist upon the performance of any covenant or condition within the time
periods specified herein, will not constitute a waiver of Contractor’s duty to perform every
other covenant or condition within the designated periods, unless a specific waiver is
granted in writing for each such covenant or condition.
6.1.7
City’s agreement to waive a specific time provision or to extend the time for performance
will not constitute a waiver of any other time provisions contained in the Contract
Documents. Failure of Contractor to complete performance promptly within the additional
time authorized in the waiver or extension of time agreement constitutes a material breach
of this Contract entitling City to all the remedies set forth herein or provided by law.
6.2
PROJECT SCHEDULE
6.2.1
The Project Schedule must be in Microsoft Project standard file format, must be updated and
maintained throughout the Contract Time, and must contain the following:
6.2.1.1
Detailed representation of all activities for the project, both on-site construction and major
procurement. All significant activities together with the resource loading requirements for
each and all items appearing on the schedule of values or bid schedule for progress
payments must be shown on the Project Schedule or in attached transmittal letter as
described in Section 6.2.8.
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-30 of 75
6.2.1.2
Dependencies between activities must be indicated so that it may establish as to the effect
the progress of any one activity would have on other activities and on the Schedule.
6.2.1.3
Activities for submission, review, and approval of all required submittals.
6.2.1.4
An amount of time will be established prior to the final completion date for “punch list and
cleanup”. No other activities will be scheduled during this period. Punch list and cleanup
must be shown on the Project Schedule and must be entirely completed prior to the
expiration of the Contract Time.
6.2.2
Within 10 Days of receipt of City’s comments, Contractor must make all required
corrections, adjustments, and additions to complete the Project Schedule and resubmit to
City for review. City’s review of and response to the Project Schedule is for the purpose of:
(1) City planning and staffing for the Project as may be required from time to time; (2)
ensuring Contractor’s general conformance with the scheduling requirements of the
Contract Documents and completion of the Project within the Contract Time; and (3)
monitoring and evaluating the construction status for purposes of approving monthly
progress payments. Acceptance of a submitted schedule by City should in no way be
construed as an affirmation or admission that the schedule is reasonable or workable by
Contractor. The responsibility for completing the Work on the Project within the Contract
Time remains the obligation of Contractor. City’s review does not relieve Contractor from
compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents or be construed as
relieving Contractor of its complete and exclusive control over the means, methods,
sequences and techniques for executing the work.
6.2.3
The Project Schedule must show milestones, including milestones for City-furnished
information, and must include activities for City-furnished material and construction by
other contractors when those activities are interrelated with Contractor activities.
6.2.4
The Project Schedule must be revised as required by conditions and progress of the Work,
but such revisions do not relieve Contractor of its obligations to complete the Work
within the Contract Time, as adjusted in accordance with the Contract Documents. No
modification to the Contract Documents or the Contract Time will be effective unless
approved in advance by City.
6.2.5
For all items of materials and equipment that are critical or may require long lead times to
acquire, the Project Schedule must show dates for submission, review and approval of
submittals, ordering, and delivery.
6.2.6
An updated Project Schedule must be submitted monthly to City as part of the Payment
Request. The monthly submittal must include one full size plot of the entire schedule and

data in electronic
format which must be clearly labeled with the Project description,
scheduling program name and version number, and schedule print/data date.
6.2.7
Contractor must provide City with a monthly status report with each Project Schedule
detailing the progress of the Work, including: (i) if the Work is proceeding according to
schedule, (ii) any discrepancies, conflicts, or ambiguities found to exist in the Contract
Documents that require resolution, and (iii) other information detailing items that require
resolution so as not to jeopardize the ability to complete the Work in the Contract Time.
General Conditions

6.2.8
With each Project Schedule submittal, Contractor must include a transmittal letter
including the following:
a. Description of problem tasks, referenced to field instructions or requests
for information (RFI’s), as appropriate.
b. Current and anticipated delays including:
(i)
Cause of the delay.
(ii)
Corrective action and schedule adjustments to correct the delay.
(iii)
Known or potential impacts and their delay on other activities,
milestones, and their impact on the Substantial Completion and
Final Acceptance dates.
(iv)
Changes in construction sequence.

f.
Other Project or scheduling concerns.
6.2.9
Critical Path Method (CPM).
6.2.9.1
Unless otherwise specified in the Contract, the Project Schedule must include a Critical
Path
Method (CPM) diagram schedule showing the sequence of activities, the
interdependence of each activity and identifies the Critical Path.
6.2.9.2
The CPM diagram schedule must be in calendar Days and indicate duration, earliest and
latest start and finish dates for all activities, and total Float Times for all activities except
critical activities. The CPM diagram must be presented in a time scaled graphical format for
the Project as a whole.
6.2.9.3
The CPM diagram schedule must indicate all relationships between activities.
6.2.9.4
The activities making the Project Schedule must contain sufficient detail to assure that
adequate planning has been done for proper execution of the Work and such that it provides
an appropriate basis for monitoring and evaluation the progress of the Work. Individual
activities must not exceed 30 Days in length, in most cases.
6.2.9.5
The CPM diagram schedule must be based upon activities, which coincide with the Schedule
of Values.
6.2.9.6
The CPM diagram schedule must show all submittals associated with each work activity and
the review time for each submittal.
6.2.10
Float Time.
6.2.10.1
The total Float Time within the overall schedule is for the exclusive use of City, but City
may approve Contractor’s use of Float as needed to meet contract Milestones and
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-32 of 75
the Project completion date.
6.2.10.2
Contractor will not be allowed to sequence, hide, or reallocate Float Time through
such strategies, as extending activity duration estimates to consume available Float, using
preferential logic, or using extensive crew/resource sequencing, tec. No time extensions
will be granted nor delay damages paid until a delay occurs which extends the Work beyond
the Contract Time.
6.2.11
City-Caused Delays. City-caused delays on the Project, if any, may be offset by City-caused
time savings (i.e., Critical Path submittals returned in less time than allowed by the Contract,
approval of substitution requests and credit changes which result in savings of time to
Contractor, etc.) In such an event, Contractor will not be entitled to receive a time extension
or delay damages until all City-caused time savings are exceeded and the Contract Time is
also exceeded.
6.2.12
Rain-Related Delays. Contractor is required, in preparing the Project Schedule to take into
account all relevant weather conditions, including normal rainfall and distribution. No
additional compensation will be given for any rain-related delays or impacts on the Work
or the Project Schedule. No time extension will be granted in the Project Schedule unless
the rainfall during the construction of Work is unusually severe, was not reasonably
anticipated, and the total rainfall was significantly in excess of the normal rainfall for the
Project Site location. Normal rainfall for the Project will be determined from the 10-year
average rainfall for the Site as measured by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration or comparable source of reliable information for rainfall in Chandler,
Arizona. In addition, the excessive rainfall must have actually impacted Work activities on
the Critical Path and caused delay beyond any remaining Float at the time of the rain- caused
delay. The burden of documenting normal rainfall, the excessive rainfall and the impact on
Critical Path activities is on Contractor. All other provisions in the Contract Documents
relating to claims, including without limitation notice requirements, apply to any claim by
Contractor for a rain delay.
6.2.13
City’s “Policy Statement for Calculating Delays and Damages,” Appendix 1 to these
General Conditions, will apply to all claims of delay and delay damages.
6.2.14
Force Majeure. If Contractor is delayed or prevented from the performance of any Work
required under this Contract by reason of acts of God or other causes beyond the control
and without fault of Contractor (financial inability excepted), performance of that Work will
be excused, but only for the period of the delay. The time for performance of the Work will
be extended for a period equivalent to the period of delay. In addition, the parties agree if
Contractor’s delayed or suspended performance directly arises out of or directly results
from the COVID-19 pandemic, Contractor’s delayed or suspended performance may be
excused as set forth in this clause. Provided, however; Contractor must give the City written
notice within 30 days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to COVID-19 pandemic
related delayed or suspended performance. For COVID-19 pandemic related delay or
suspended performance, the parties must agree in writing to the length of the excused
delay or suspended performance. Further, Contractor must obtain the City’s written
approval to use any allowance established as part of the project for delays and costs related
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
6.3
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
6.3.1
When Contractor considers that the Work, phase or a portion thereof, which City agrees in
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-33 of 75
writing to accept separately, is substantially complete, City will prepare and submit to
Contractor a comprehensive Punch List of items to be completed or corrected prior to Final
Acceptance and Final Payment. Failure to include an item on such Punch List does not alter
the responsibility of Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
6.3.2
Upon receipt of Contractor’s Punch List, Project Manager will make an inspection to
determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete.
Project Manager may, at Project Manager’s sole option, be assisted in such inspection by
the Design Professional for the Project. If the inspection by the Project Manager discloses
any item, whether or not included on Contractor’s Punch List, which is not sufficiently
completed in accordance with the Contract Documents so that City can occupy or utilize
the Work, phase or designated portion thereof for its intended use, Contractor must,
before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such
item upon notification by Project Manager. In such case, Contractor must then submit a
request for another inspection by Project Manager to determine Substantial Completion.
6.3.3
Certificate of Substantial Completion.
6.3.3.1
The Project Manager will not issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion unless and until
the Work (or separable units or Phases as provided in the Contract Documents) is
essentially and satisfactorily complete in accordance with the Contract Documents, such
that the Project is ready for use by City for its intended purpose, opening to the general
public, full occupancy or use by City (including, without limitation, all separate units, or
rooms, facilities, access, income-generating areas, and all areas serving the general public,
as applicable, must be ready for full-operation
without material inconvenience or
discomfort), including, to the extent applicable to the Work, the following: all materials,
equipment, systems, controls, features, facilities, accessories and similar elements are
installed in the proper manner and in operating condition, inspected and approved;
surfaces have been painted; masonry and concrete cleaned with any sealer or other finish
applied; utilities and systems connected and functioning; site work complete; permanent
heating,
ventilation, air condition, vertical transportation and other systems properly
operating with proper controls; lighting and electrical systems installed, operable and
controlled; paving completed, signage installed, and other Work as applicable, has
been performed to a similar state of essential and satisfactory completion. A minor
amount of Work, as determined by and at the discretion of the Project Manager, such
as installation of minor accessories or items, a minor amount of painting, minor
replacement of defective work, minor adjustment of controls or sound
systems, or
completion or correction of minor exterior work that cannot be completed as a result of
weather conditions, will not delay determination of Substantial Completion. If prior
written approval is obtained from City for purposes of Substantial Completion, specified
areas of the entire Work or Project may be individually certified as Substantially
Complete. In no event will Substantial Completion be deemed to have occurred unless
and until: (i) a temporary certificate of occupancy has been issued by the appropriate
Governmental Authorities (as applicable) and (ii) all terms and Work required under this
Agreement have been fulfilled by Contractor and same will have also been approved and
accepted by City, subject only to the Punch List items.
6.3.3.2
If requested by City, Contractor must complete and turn-over to City the Project on a phased
basis. Each phase will have a separate inspection by the Project Manager, a Punch List
generated, and then an inspection by City with final approval and acceptance only after the
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-34 of 75
Project Manager’s Punch List.
6.4
PARTIAL UTILIZATION
6.4.1
City at City’s option may use and occupy any substantially completed parts of the Work
which has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or which City, the Design
Professional and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of
the Work that can be used by City for its intended purpose, without significant interference
with Contractor’s performance of the remainder of the Work, provided, however, if the
portion of the Work to be used or occupied has not been found to be substantially complete,
City must do so in accordance with Section 6.3 prior to such occupancy.
6.4.2
In lieu of the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion as to part of the Work, City
may take over operation of a facility constituting part of the Work whether or not it is
substantially complete if such facility is functionally and separately usable; provided that
prior to any such takeover, City and Contractor agree in writing as to the division of
responsibilities between City and Contractor for security, operation, safety, maintenance,
correction period, heat, utilities and insurance with respect to such facility.
6.4.3
Substantial Completion of or City's beneficial occupancy of a part of the Project will not alter
the fact that the one-year warranty for the whole Project starts at the date of Final
Completion of the whole Project.
6.5
FINAL ACCEPTANCE
6.5.1
Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by City, Final Acceptance must be obtained
by no later than 30 Days (60 Days for federally funded contracts) after the date of Substantial
Completion. Failure to timely obtain Final Acceptance will be a material breach of the
Contract.
6.5.2
Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance, City
and Contractor will jointly inspect to verify that the remaining items of Work have been
completed. There will be no partial acceptance. Final Acceptance will not occur until all
items of Work, including Punch List Items, have been completed to City’s satisfaction as
reflected in the written Final Acceptance.
6.5.3
Final Payment will not be due, owing, or paid by City until Final Acceptance is issued.
6.5.4
Landscape Establishment Period. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by City, the
Landscape Establishment Period will begin on the date of Final Acceptance of the Project and
will run 90 Calendar Days thereafter. Landscape Establishment Period requirements are
detailed in General Conditions Appendices, attached herein.
6.6
CONTINUATION OF WORK
6.6.1
Permitting Contractor to continue and finish the Work or any part of it after the time fixed
for its completion (whether milestone, phase, Substantial Completion or Final Acceptance)
or after the date to which the time fixed for any completion may have been extended, does
not operate as a waiver by City of any rights under the Contract Documents, law or equity.
6.6.2
Furthermore, the timely completion of the Work being of the utmost importance under
this Contract, notwithstanding the existence of one or more disputes between the parties
concerning the scope of the Work, the Project Schedule, Contract Time, payments or any
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021

other matter, and further notwithstanding a party’s invocation of the Dispute Resolution
provisions specified in Appendix 6 of these General Conditions, unless City suspends
the Contract or Contractor’s performance pursuant to Section 10 of these General
Conditions, Contractor will continue to prosecute the Work, including any Change Order
work or Extra Work Orders, in a diligent and timely manner and not stop, slow down or
impede by action or inaction the progress of the Work, including commencing performance
of and thereafter completing any additional work called out in any Change Order or Extra
Work Order issued by Project Manager with the approval of City, so long as City makes
payment to Contractor in accordance with Section 8 of these General Conditions.

SECTION 9 - CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT
9.1
FIELD ORDERS
City may authorize minor changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in the Contract
Price or the Contract Times, which are consistent with the overall intent of the Contract
Documents. These may be accomplished by a written Field Order on the standard form
approved and executed by City. Such Field Orders must be binding and Contractor must
perform the change promptly. If Contractor believes that a Field Order justifies an increase
in the Contract Price or Contract Time, Contractor may make a claim therefor as provided
in Section 7.2.
9.2
EXTRA WORK/CHANGES IN THE WORK
9.2.1
City reserves the right to make such changes in the Plans and Specifications for the Work,
as it may deem appropriate and any such change as set forth in a written Change Order
must be deemed a part of this Contract as if originally incorporated herein.
9.2.2
In the event City and Contractor cannot agree on the terms of a Change Order, or
when circumstances otherwise require, the Project Manager has the authority to direct the
Contractor to perform extra work, if the work in question is an item not provided for in the
Contract as awarded. The Project Manager will have the authority to determine, based
upon factual evidence presented by the Contractor, whether the work in question is an
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-41 of 75
item not provided for in the Contract as awarded. If the Project Manager directs the
Contractor to perform extra work, the Project Manager’s instructions will include a price
that the Contractor cannot exceed in charging the City for the extra work. Upon receipt of
the Project Manager’s directions to perform extra work, the Contractor must promptly
proceed with the extra work and document the actual cost thereof. Contractor’s right to
payment for extra work will be determined under Subsection 9.2.4 below. The Contractor is
responsible to manage the extra work to ensure that the price limits set by the Project
Manager are not exceeded. Contractor must perform the extra work and submit
documentation for the actual cost of the extra work to the City. A Change Order will be
issued to cover this work.
9.2.3
Contractor will not be entitled to payment for extra work unless a written Change Order, in
form and content prescribed by City, has been executed by City. On all requests for Change
Orders, Contractor must specify the increased or decreased costs and whether it
believes any extensions of time will be necessary to complete its Work as modified by the
Change Order. If extra work is performed under Subsection 9.2.2 above, a corresponding
Change Order will be prepared, approved and processed by City before payment can be
made to Contractor.
9.2.4
In general, pricing for Change Orders will include the same mark-up percentages that were
in effect when the Contract was awarded. The cost or credit to the City resulting from a
change in the Work is subject to Appendix 1 (Policy Statement for Calculating Delays and
Damages) and will be determined, based on the type of pricing for the Contract involved, as
follows:
a. By mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized in a form acceptable
to City;
b. By unit prices stated in the Contract Documents;
c. When the City determines that a Unit Price Book Job Order associated with
a Job Order Contract requires a Change Order, by using the same Total Cost
Data and CCI that are in effect when the Change Order is anticipated to be
issued; or
d. By actual cost and a percentage fee covering overhead and profit, as follows:
(i)
Contractor will perform the extra work and be compensated for actual
cost of labor, materials and equipment.
(ii)
Contractor will have the right to add the fee percentage applicable
to the Work under the Contract, or if no such fee has been agreed
to by the parties, not more than five percent (5%) to the
Subcontractor’s prices for authorized extra work performed solely
by Subcontractors. Such percentage will include all of Contractor’s
charges for overhead, profit, administration and supervision.
(iii)
Contractor or Subcontractor will have the right to add the fee
percentage applicable to Work under the Contract for self-performed
extra work, or if no such fee has been agreed to by the parties,
Contractor’s or Subcontractor’s maximum total allowable additions
for overhead, profit, administration and supervision will not exceed
ten percent (10%) of actual verifiable labor, materials and
equipment for such self- performed extra work.

9.2.5
Any agreement which modifies the terms of the Contract (including Change Orders) will
be approved in writing by the Project Manager. Once properly executed by both parties,
these modifications to the Contract will have the same effect as if they had been included in
the original Contract.
9.3
ACCURACY OF CHANGE ORDER PRICING INFORMATION
9.3.1
Subject to Sections 9.3.2 through 9.3.4, signature by the contracting parties constitutes full
accord and satisfaction between City and Contractor for all costs, damages, and expenses
of whatever kind of nature, including delay, impact or acceleration damages, which may be
occasioned by a Change Order of other modification of the Contract agreed to in writing.
9.3.2
Accurate Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor agrees that it is responsible for
submitting accurate cost and pricing data to City to support its Fixed Price, Unit Price, or
Cost Plus Change Order Proposals or other Contract Price adjustments under the
Contract. Contractor further agrees to submit Change Order proposals with cost and
pricing data which is accurate, complete, current, and in accordance with the terms of
the Contract with respect to pricing of change orders. Contractor agrees that any “buy-
out savings” on Change Orders will accrue 100% to Owner. “Buy-out savings” are defined
as any savings negotiated by the Contractor with a Subcontractor or a Material Supplier
after receiving approval of a Change Order amount that was designated to be paid to a
specific Subcontractor or Supplier for the Approved Change Order work.
9.3.3
Right to Verify Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor agrees that City, through
its designated representative, will have the right to examine, copy, and scan the records
of the Contractor, Subcontractor or Sub-Subcontractor’s records (during the Contract
period and up to three years after final payment is made on the Contract) to verify the
accuracy and appropriateness of the pricing data used to price all Change Order
proposals or claims. Contractor agrees that if City determines the cost and pricing data
submitted (whether approved or not) was inaccurate, incomplete, not current, or not in
compliance with the terms of the Contract
regarding pricing of Change Orders, an
appropriate Contract Price adjustment will be made. Such post-approval Contact Price
adjustments will apply to all levels of contractors and Subcontractors and to all types of
Change Order proposals, specifically including Fixed Price, Unit Price, and Cost Plus Change
Orders.
9.3.4
Requirements for Detailed Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor agrees to
provide a detailed breakdown of allowable labor and labor burden cost (i.e., base wage
rate of applicable classifications of workers, payroll taxes, and insurance and benefits
costs). This information will be used to evaluate the potential cost of labor and labor burden
related to Change Order work. It is intended that this information represent an accurate
estimate of the Contractor’s actual labor and labor burden cost components. Information
is not intended to establish fixed billing or Change Order pricing labor rates. However, at the
time Change Orders are priced, the submitted cost data for labor rates may be used to price
Change Order work. The accuracy of any such agreed upon labor rate cost components
used to price Change Orders will be subject to later audit. Approved Change Order
amounts may be adjusted later to correct the impact of inaccurate labor cost
components if the agreed upon labor cost components are determined to be inaccurate.
9.4
EMERGENCIES
In any emergency affecting the safety of persons or property, Contractor will act, at its
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-43 of 75
discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. Any change in the Contract Price or
Contract Time resulting from emergency work will be determined as provided in this Section.
9.5
DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS
9.5.1
If Differing Site Conditions are encountered at the Project Site, then notice by the observing
party must be given to the other party promptly before conditions are disturbed (to the extent
practicable) and in no event later than 14 Days after first observance of the conditions.
City will promptly investigate such conditions and, if City determines that Differing Site
Conditions exist and they materially cause an increase in the cost of, or time required for,
performance of any part of the Work, Contractor will be entitled to equitable adjustment
in the Contract Price or Construction Schedule (and other time requirements), or both. If it
is determined by City that the conditions at the Project Site are not Differing Site Conditions
and no change is justified, then City will so notify Contractor in writing, stating the reasons.
Claims in opposition to such determination must be made within 14 Days after City has
given notice of its decision. If City and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in the
Contract Price or Construction Schedule (and other time requirements), the adjustment
may be submitted to dispute resolution as provided these General Conditions.
9.6
CHANGES IN LAWS, REGULATIONS, OR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OR TAXES
In the event of a material change in applicable Laws, Regulations, or Legal Requirements, or
taxes subsequent to the date of the Contract by the parties, Contractor may be entitled
to a Change Order, in City’s discretion, to the extent Contractor can document to the
satisfaction of City that such change significantly increases Contractor’s actual cost of
performance of the Work.

cure any such reasons. Upon such termination, City may: (1) take possession of the Site
and of all materials thereon owned by Contractor; or (2) finish the Work by whatever
reasonable method City may deem expedient. When City terminates the Contract for one of
the reasons state above, Contractor will not be entitled to receive further payment until the
Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price existing at the time of such
termination exceeds the costs and expenses of finishing the Work and any other damages
incurred by City, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such costs, expenses and damages
exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor must pay the difference to City. This obligation
for payment will survive termination of the Contract.
10.3

notice to Contractor specifying the termination date. In the event of termination which is
not the fault, in whole or in part, of Contractor, City will pay to Contractor only such

Construction Contingency. This GMP includes a dollar amount listed as a Construction
Contingency which will be readily available for increased costs for subcontractors, material,
and equipment subject to prior approval of City, which approval will not be withheld
unreasonably. The Construction Contingency may also be used, at the discretion of City, to
reimburse CM@Risk for unexpected costs due to (a) scope gaps between trade
subcontractors; (b) contract default by trade subcontractors; (c) unforeseen field conditions,
but only as defined in Section 9.5 above; (d) work completed to meet the intent of the
design, but which was not indicated on the plans; (e) costs overruns not covered by
allowances; (f) costs of corrective work not provided for elsewhere; and (g) implementation
of any Recovery Plan. Cost for which CM@Risk desires to be paid from the Construction
Contingency must be documented by CM@Risk on a time and materials basis and are
subject to verification by City. If agreed to by City, a “Use of Contingency” form will be
executed by both parties authorizing the actual cost of the work to be paid and included in
the Work Item Direct Costs. The Construction Contingency is not allocated to any particular
item of the Project but may be used for any portion of the work as determined above. Any
amount not used in the Construction Contingency will belong to City and will reduce the

GMP.
15.4.2
Owner’s Contingency. This GMP also includes a dollar amount listed as an Owner’s
Contingency which may be used only by the City (owner department) for upgrades and
changes in scope or other changes not already included within the intent of the Project
Program. City will provide CM@Risk with a Work Change Directive authorizing CM@Risk to
perform the additional work and to transfer funds from the Owner’s Contingency to the
Work Item Direct Costs category to be paid with such direct costs. These additional costs
will be in an amount mutually agreed upon by CM@Risk and City or will be documented by
CM@Risk on a time and materials basis and are subject to verification by City. Any amount
not used in the Owner’s Contingency will belong to the City and will reduce the GMP.
15.5
REDUCTION IN RETENTION
If the Contract Price is based upon a GMP, in order to receive payment of one-half of the
retention as set forth in Section 8.1.5 above, Contractor must also submit to the Project
Manager a complete accounting of the Actual Reimbursable Cost of the Work to date,
including all such documentation (including, without limitation, invoices, subcontract,
subcontractor change orders, purchase orders, records of payment, etc.) as City may require,
to establish whether the payments made to Contractor equal, exceed, or are less than the
actual reimbursable Cost of the Work to date. Any excess payments by City, as determined
by the Project Manager, will be deducted from the one-half retention payment to be made
to Contractor, and any additional excess amounts paid to Contractor will be refunded by
Contractor to City. The Project Manager’s determinations as to Actual Reimbursable Cost
of the Work will be the basis of payment until final Project Closeout and Final Payment
under the Contract.
15.6
FINAL PAYMENT
If the Contract Price is based upon a GMP, as a further condition precedent to Final Payment
by City, Contractor must submit to the Project Manager a complete final accounting of
the Actual Reimbursable Cost of the Work, including all such documentation (including,
without limitation, invoices, subcontracts, subcontractor change orders, purchase orders,
records of payment, etc.) as City may require, to establish whether the payments made to
Contractor equal, exceed, or are less than the Actual Reimbursable Cost of the Work to
date. Any excess payments by City, as determined by the Project Manager, will be deducted
from the one-half retention payment to be made to Contractor, and any additional excess
amounts paid to Contractor will be refunded by Contractor to City. Disputes relating to the
Final Cost of the Work will be subject to City’s audit rights under Sections 8.8 above and 15.7
below, and the dispute resolution process under Section 13 above.
15.7
OPEN BOOK
On any GMP-based or Cost-Based Contract, Job Order, or Change Order, City may attend
any and all meetings or discussions pertaining to the Project, including bid openings, and
must have access to all books, invoices, accounts, memoranda, correspondence, and
written communications or records of any kind pertaining to the Project, including without
limitation, those stored in electronic format.
15.8
DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS AND/OR CHANGE IN LAWS

order to reach agreement between the team members that the Baseline Cost Model is an
accurate projection of the costs of the Project.
17.2.3
CM@Risk must attend Project Team meetings, which may include, but are not limited to,
bi- weekly Project management meetings, Project workshops, special Project meetings,
construction document rolling reviews, public meetings and partnering sessions. CM@Risk
attendance at design or other meetings in which CM@Risk is provided the opportunity but
does not actively participate and/or is not properly prepared is not acceptable. Repeated
instances of non-participation and/or lack of preparedness will be grounds for termination
of CM@Risk Contract for default.
17.2.4
CM@Risk must provide Pre-Construction Services, described herein, in a timely manner
and consistent with the intent of the most current Drawings and Specifications. CM@Risk
must promptly notify City in writing whenever CM@Risk determines any Drawings or

plans, specifications, ideas, renderings and other information or material, in whatever
form created (e.g., electronic or printed) and in all media now know or hereinafter created.
All Work Product will be considered Work Made for Hire as defined in the United States
Copyright Act 17 U.S.C.
§101 (Copyright Act). If for any reason any such Work is found not to be a work for
hire, Contractor hereby transfers and assigns ownership of the copyright in such Work to
City. The rights in this Section are exclusive to City in perpetuity.
17.2.7
CM@Risk represents to City in completing Pre-Construction Services and providing the
reports
and analysis required thereunder, that Work can be properly and timely
constructed within the GMP Proposal, if accepted. CM@Risk does not assume any design
responsibilities unless specifically called for in the scope of work, but CM@Risk will be
responsible for their errors, omissions or inconsistencies included in the Work.
17.3
DETAILED PROJECT SCHEDULE
17.3.1
The fundamental purpose of the Detailed Project Schedule is to identify, coordinate and
record the tasks and activities to be performed by all of the Project Team members and
then for the Project Team to utilize that Deliverable as a basis for managing and
monitoring all member’s compliance with the schedule requirements of the Project.
Each Project Team member is responsible for its compliance with the Detailed Project
Schedule requirements. CM@Risk must, however, develop and maintain the Detailed
Project Schedule on behalf of and to be used by the Project Team based on input from the
other Project Team members. The Baseline Project Schedule must be developed as part
of the Baseline Cost Model. The Detailed Project Schedule must use the Critical Path
method (“CPM”) technique, unless required otherwise, in writing by City. CM@Risk must
use scheduling software acceptable to City to develop the Detailed Project Schedule.
The Detailed Project Schedule must be presented in graphical and tabular reports as
agreed upon by the Project Team. If Project phasing as described below is required, the
Detailed Project Schedule must indicate milestone dates for the phases once
determined. As part of construction phase, City may require CM@Risk to prepare a
“resource loaded” schedule for all work, including work performed by Subcontractors,
detailing each of the project tasks and the required/anticipated number of personnel per
day for each task. CM@Risk must also indicate on the schedule its ability to meet said
required/anticipated personnel requirements.
17.3.2
CM@Risk must include and integrate in the Detailed Project Schedule the services and
activities required of City, Design Professional and CM@Risk including all construction
phase activities based on the input received from City and the Design Professional.
The Detailed Project Schedule must define activities as determined by City to the extent
required to show: (a) the coordination between preliminary design and various pre-
construction documents, (b) any separate long-lead procurements, (c) any permitting
issues, (d) any land, right-of-way, or easement acquisition, (e) bid packaging strategy and
awards to Subcontractors and Suppliers, (f) major stages of construction, (g) start-up and
commissioning, and (h) occupancy of the completed Work by City. The Detailed Project
Schedule must include by example and not limitation, proposed activity sequences and
durations for design, procurement, construction and testing activities, milestone dates for
actions and decisions by the Project Team, preparation and processing of shop drawings
and samples, delivery of materials or equipment requiring long-lead time procurement (if
any), milestone dates for various construction phases, Total Float for all activities to the
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-68 of 75
extent authorized by City, relationships between the activities,
City’s occupancy
requirements showing portions of the Project having occupancy priority, and proposed
dates for Final Acceptance.
17.3.3
A Baseline Project Schedule must be initiated with the project Baseline Cost Model and
agreed to by the project team at the same time. CM@Risk must update and maintain a
detailed Project Schedule throughout pre-construction such that it will not require major
changes at the start of the construction phase to incorporate CM@Risk’s plan for the
performance of the construction phase Work. CM@Risk must provide updates and/or
revisions to the Detailed Project Schedule for use by the Project Team, whenever required,
but no less often than at the Project Team meetings. CM@Risk must include with such
submittals a narrative describing its analysis of the progress achieved to-date vs. the
Baseline Project Schedule, including any concerns regarding delays or potential delays, and
any recommendations regarding mitigating actions.
17.3.4
If phased construction is deemed appropriate at the time of developing the Baseline Cost
Model or during the development of the Detailed Project Schedule, and City approves,
CM@Risk must review the design and make recommendations regarding the phased
issuance of Construction Documents to facilitate phased construction of the Work, with
the objective of reducing the Project Schedule and/or Cost of the Work. CM@Risk must take
into consideration such factors as natural and practical lines of work severability,
sequencing effectiveness, access and availability constraints, total time for completion,
construction market conditions, labor and materials availability, and any other factors
pertinent to saving time and cost.
17.3.5
Long Lead Time Items. As part of developing the Detailed Project Schedule, CM@Risk must
identify all long lead time materials, fabrications, equipment, or other items which may
impact the Project Schedule and may require early action on the part of the Project Team.
Dates for selecting and ordering long lead time items will be included and highlighted
in the Detailed Project Schedule
17.3.6
Equipment Plan. Contractor must develop an Equipment Plan that addresses all rental
and owned equipment, regardless of whether such equipment will be provided by
CM@Risk or subcontractor(s), that will be necessary to construct the Project and the cost
of which will be included as a Cost of the Work in the GMP Proposal. The Equipment Plan
will seek to minimize the cost of the equipment to City and maximize the efficient and
coordinated use of the equipment for completion of the Project. The Equipment Plan will
not only include the costs and allowable lease rates for the equipment, but will also include
an equipment schedule that will be incorporated into the Detailed Project Schedule and the
Schedule of Values submitted with the GMP Proposal.
17.4
DESIGN DOCUMENT REVIEWS
17.4.1
CM@Risk must evaluate periodically the availability of labor, materials/equipment, cost-
sensitive aspects of the design; and other factors that may create an unacceptable variance
to the Baseline Cost Model and/or Baseline Project Schedule.
17.4.2
CM@Risk must recommend, in conjunction with the Project Team, those additional surface
and subsurface investigations that, in its professional opinion, are required to provide the
necessary
information for CM@Risk to construct the Project.
These additional
investigations, if agreed to
be necessary by the Project Manager and the Design
Professional, will be acquired by City and copies of the reports will be provided to CM@Risk.

CM@Risk must meet with the Project Team as required to review designs during their
development. CM@Risk must familiarize itself with the evolving documents through
pre-
construction. CM@Risk must proactively advise the Project Team and make
recommendations on factors related to construction costs, and concerns pertaining to the
feasibility and practicality
of any proposed means and methods, selected materials,
equipment and building systems, and, labor and material availability. CM@Risk must
furthermore advise the Project Team on proposed site improvements, excavation and
foundation considerations, as well as, concerns that exist with respect to coordination of
the Drawings and Specifications. CM@Risk must use established value analysis principles
in recommending cost effective alternatives.
17.4.4
CM@Risk must routinely conduct constructability and bid-ability reviews of the Drawings
and Specifications as necessary to satisfy the needs of the Project Team. The reviews must
attempt to identify all discrepancies and inconsistencies in the Construction Documents
especially those related to clarity, consistency, completeness and coordination of Work of
Subcontractors and Suppliers.

The results of the reviews must be provided to Project Team in formal, written reports
clearly
identifying all reviewed documents and the discovered discrepancies and
inconsistencies in the Drawings and Specifications with notations and recommendations
made on the Drawings, Specifications and other documents. CM@Risk must meet with
Project Team to discuss any findings and review reports.
17.4.4.4
CM@Risk’s reviews must be from a Contractor’s perspective, and though it will serve to
eliminate/reduce the number of RFIs) and changes during the construction phase,
responsibility for the Drawings and Specifications will remain with the Design Professional
and not CM@Risk.
17.4.5
It is CM@Risk’s responsibility to assist the Design Professional in ascertaining that, in
CM@Risk’s professional opinion, the Construction Documents are in accordance with
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-70 of 75
applicable Laws, Regulations, or Legal Requirements, building codes, sound engineering
principle’s rules and regulations. If CM@Risk recognizes that portions of the Construction
Documents are at variance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes,
sound engineering principle’s rules and regulations, it must promptly notify the Project Team
in writing, describing the apparent variance of deficiency. However, the Design Professional
is ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Drawings and Specifications with those
laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules and regulations.
17.4.6
The Project Team will routinely identify and evaluate using value analysis principles and
alternate systems, approaches, design changes that have the potential to reduce Project
costs while still delivering a high quality and fully functional Project consistent with
the Project Program. If the Project Team agrees, CM@Risk in cooperation with the Design
Professional, will perform a cost/benefit analysis of the alternatives and submit such in
writing to the Project Team. City, through the Project Manager, will direct which alternatives
will be incorporated into the Project. The Design Professional will have full design
responsibility for the review and incorporation of CM@Risk suggested alternatives into
the Drawings and Specifications. CM@Risk must analyze the costs and schedule impacts of
the alternatives against the Baseline
Cost Model and Schedule and provide a
recommendation for the Project Team’s consideration and City’s approval prior to the
establishment of the GMP.
17.5
BASELINE COSTS MODEL, DETAILED COST ESTIMATES, AND SCHEDULE OF VALUES
17.5.1
At the conclusion of the Master Planning and Programming, if required, CM@Risk will
review all available information regarding the design and scope of the Project using
CM@Risk’s experience in performing similar work, knowledge of similar projects and
current and projected construction costs and, based upon that review, must develop a
Baseline Cost Model for review by the Project Team and approval by City. Once approved
by City, the Baseline Cost Model will be continually referenced as detailed estimates are
created as the design progresses throughout Pre-Construction until the final GMP for the
entire Project is established. A final GMP for the entire Project must be established and
approved by City prior to the start of construction. It is the responsibility of CM@Risk
to ensure City has sufficient information to evaluate and approve a final GMP prior to
the time necessary to start construction so construction can be completed within the
Contract Time. The Project Detailed Cost Estimate will be the best representation from
CM@Risk of what the complete functional Project’s construction costs will be as indicated
by the most current available documents and will be constantly checked against the
Baseline Cost Model. CM@Risk must communicate to the Project Team and assumptions
made in preparing the Baseline Cost Model. The Baseline Cost
Model must support
CM@Risk’s Detailed Cost Estimates and may be broken down initially as dictated by the
available information, as required by City.
17.5.2
After receipt of the Design Professional’s most current documents from certain specified
pre- construction milestones, CM@Risk must provide a draft Detailed Cost Estimate
including a detailed written report detailing any variances to the Baseline Cost Model and
Baseline Project Schedule. The Design Professional and CM@Risk will reconcile any
disagreements on the estimate to arrive at an agreed upon Detailed Cost Estimate for the
construction costs based on the scope of the Project through that specified pre-
construction milestone. Pre-Construction milestones applicable to this paragraph are:
Master Planning and Programming, Schematic Design, 50% Design Development, 100%
Design Development, and 50% Construction Drawings, If no consensus is reached, City will
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-71 of 75
make the final determination. If the Project Team requires additional updates of the
Detailed Cost Estimate beyond that specified in this paragraph, CM@Risk must provide the
requested information in a timely manner.
17.5.3
If at any point the Detailed Cost Estimate submitted to City exceeds the previously
accepted Baseline Cost Model or previously approved Detailed Cost Estimate agreed to as
set forth in Section 17.5.2 above, CM@Risk must make appropriate recommendations to
project Team on means/methods, materials, and or other design elements that it
believes will reduce the estimated construction costs, such that it is equal to or less than
the established Project Team’s Baseline Cost Model.
17.5.4
Unless other levels of completion are agreed to in writing in the Construction Documents,
at 50% Construction Drawings and included with the associated report, CM@Risk must
also submit to the Project Team for review and approval a Schedule of Values that complies
with the following requirements. The Schedule of Values must be based on City standard
bid schedule and highlight significant variances from any previously submitted Schedule
of Values. The Schedule of Values must be directly related to the breakdowns reflected in
the Detailed Project Schedule and CM@Risk’s Detailed Cost Estimate. In addition, the
Schedule of Values must: (a) detail unit prices and quantity take-offs, (b) detail all other
contingencies and unit price Work shown and specified in the detailed design documents.
17.5.5
CM@Risk is to track, estimate/price and address the Project Team’s overall project cost issues
that arise outside of the Baseline Cost Model and the latest approved Detailed Cost
Estimate such as: City generated changes, Project Team proposed changes, alternate
system analysis, constructability items and value engineering analysis. The system used
to implement this process will be referred to as the Design Evolution Log. This is to be
addressed between the Baseline Cost Model and the Master Planning and Programming
Detailed Cost Estimate, and then (unless other levels of completion are agreed to in writing
in the Construction Documents) between the Detailed Cost Estimates for each of the pre-
construction milestones thereafter, Schematic Design, 50% Design Development, 100%
Design Development, and 50% Construction Documents, and the bid packages for all
Phases.
17.5.6
Upon request by City, CM@Risk must submit to City a cash flow projection for the Project
based on the current updated/revised Detailed Project Schedule and the anticipated level of
payments for CM@Risk during the design and construction phases. In addition, if requested
by City and based on information provided by City, CM@Risk must prepare a cash flow
projection for the entire Project based on historical records for similar types of projects
to assist City in the financing process.
17.5.7
Construction Water. CM@Risk must estimate the quantity of water to be used and include
the cost thereof in each Detailed Cost Estimate and GMP Proposal provided by City.
17.6
SUBCONTRACTOR AND MAJOR SUPPLIER SELECTIONS
17.6.1
There are two ways to select Subcontractors and major Suppliers prior to submission of a
GMP Proposal: (1) qualifications-based selection; or (2) a combination of qualifications
and price. Except as noted below, the selection of Subcontractors/Suppliers is the sole
responsibility of CM@Risk. In any case, CM@Risk is solely responsible for the performance
of the selected Subcontractors/Suppliers, and for compliance with the requirements of
Title 34 of the Arizona Revised Statutes in the selection of a Subcontractors/Suppliers,
to the extent applicable. CM@Risk must comply with its Subcontractor Selection Plan
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-72 of 75
submitted with its Statement of Qualifications.
17.6.2
City may approve the selection of a Subcontractor(s) or Suppliers(s) based only on their
qualifications when CM@Risk can demonstrate it is in the best interest of the Project. All
Work that is performed, after such a qualifications-based selection, for a price that is
negotiated by CM@Risk will be billed in accordance with the GMP for actual costs and may
be subject to audit by City.
17.6.2.1
Qualifications based selection of a Subcontractor(s)/Supplier(s) should only occur prior to
the submittal of the GMP Proposal.
17.6.2.2
If a Subcontractor/Supplier selection plan was submitted and agreed to by City, CM@Risk
must apply the plan in the evaluation of the qualifications of a Subcontractor(s) or
Supplier(s) and provide City with its review and recommendations.
17.6.2.3
CM@Risk must receive written City approval for each selected Subcontractor(s) and
Supplier(s).
17.6.2.4
CM@Risk must negotiate costs for services/supplies from each Subcontractor/Supplier
selected under this method.
17.6.3
All Work must be competitively bid unless a Subcontractor or Supplier was selected pursuant
to Section 17.6.2 above.
17.6.3.1
CM@Risk must develop Subcontractor and Supplier interest, submit the names of a
minimum of three qualified Subcontractors or Suppliers for each trade in the Project for
approval by City and solicit bids for the various Work categories. If there are not three
qualified Subcontractors/Suppliers available for a specific trade or there are extenuating
circumstances warranting such, CM@Risk may request approval by City to submit less
than three names. Without prior written notice to City, no change in the recommended
Subcontractors/Supplies will be allowed.
17.6.3.2
If City objects to any nominated Subcontractor/Supplier or to any self-performed Work for
good
reason, CM@Risk must nominate a substitute Subcontractor/Supplier that is
acceptable to City.
17.6.3.3
CM@Risk must distribute Drawings and Specifications, and when appropriate, conduct a
Pre- Bid Conference with prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers.
17.6.3.4
If CM@Risk desires to self-perform certain portions of the Work, it must request to be one of
the approved Subcontractor bidders for those specific bid packages. CM@Risk’s bid will
be evaluated in accordance with the process identified below. If events warrant and City
concurs that it is necessary in order to ensure compliance with the Project Schedule
and/or the most recent Detailed Cost Estimate, CM@Risk may be authorized to self-
perform Work without bidding or rebidding the Work. When CM@Risk self-performs work
without bidding, only the actual costs associated with performing the Work in accordance
with the approved GMP will be billed and may be subject to audit by City.
17.6.3.5
CM@Risk must receive, open, record and evaluate the bids; provided, however, that if
CM@Risk or one of its affiliates is bidding to self-perform the Work that is the subject of the
bid, then the bids must be received, opened, recorded and evaluated by Project Manager
instead of CM@Risk. Bids for each category of Work must be opened and recorded at a
pre-determined time. The apparent low bidders must be interviewed to determine the
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-73 of 75
responsiveness of their proposals. In evaluating the responsiveness of bid proposals
CM@Risk, in addition to bid price, may consider the following factors: past performance
on similar projects, qualifications and
experience of personnel assigned, quality
management plan, approach or understanding of the
Work to be performed, and
performance
schedule
to
complete
the
Work.
The
final
evaluation
of
Subcontractor/Supplier bids must be done with Project Manager in attendance to observe
and witness the process. CM@Risk must resolve any Subcontractor/Supplier bid withdrawal,
protest or disqualification in connection with the award at no increase in the Cost of Work.
17.6.4
CM@Risk will be required to prepare two different reports on the subcontracting process.
17.6.4.1
Within fifteen days after each major Subcontractor/Supplier bid opening process;
CM@Risk must prepare a report for City’s review and approval identifying the
recommended Subcontractors/Supplier for each category of Work. The report must detail:
(a) the name of the recommended Subcontractor/Supplier and the amount of the
Subcontractor/Supplier bid for each sub-agreement; (b) the sum of all recommended
Subcontractor/Supplier bids received; (c) and trade work and its cost that CM@Risk intends
to self-perform, if any.
17.6.4.2
Upon completion of the Subcontractor/Supplier bidding process, CM@Risk must submit
a summary report to City of the entire Subcontractor/Supplier selection process. The report
must indicate, by bid process, all Subcontractors/Suppliers contacted to determine
interest, the Subcontractors/Suppliers solicited, the bids received and costs negotiated,
and the recommended Subcontractors/Suppliers for each category of Work.
17.6.5
The approved Subcontractors/Suppliers will provide a Schedule of Values with their bid
proposals, which will be used to create the overall Project Schedule of Values.
17.6.6
If after receipt of sub-bids or after award to Subcontractors and Suppliers, City objects to
any nominated Subcontractor/Supplier or to any self-performed Work without any
reasonable basis, CM@Risk must nominate a substitute Subcontractor or Supplier,
preferably if such option is still available, from those who submitted Subcontractor bids
for the Work affected. Once such substitute Subcontractors and Suppliers are consented
to by City, CM@Risk’s proposed GMP for the Work or portion thereof must be
correspondingly adjusted to reflect any higher or lower costs form any such substitution.
17.7
GMP PROPOSAL
17.7.1
When a GMP Proposal is submitted for a phase of the Work, the GMP will have a Detailed Cost
Estimate of the Costs of the Work (as set forth in Section 15.2) in each phase of the Work
that is being proposed plus the current estimate for all other Work. City will not approve
the GMP for the phase of work without a total estimate for the complete Project. City may
request a GMP Proposal for all or any portion of the Project and at any time during pre-
construction. Any GMP Proposals submitted by CM@Risk must be based on and consistent
with Baseline Cost Model and the current update/revised Detailed Cost Estimate at the
time of the request and include any clarifications or assumptions upon which the GMP
Proposal(s) are based.
17.7.2
A GMP Proposal for the entire Project will be the sum of the Cost of the Work, CM@Risk Fee,
and General Conditions Cost. CM@Risk guarantees to complete the Project at or less than
the final GMP Proposal amount plus approved Change Orders. CM@Risk will be responsible
for any costs for expenses that would cause the Cost of the Work actually incurred,
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-74 of 75
including the Construction Fee and General Conditions Costs, to exceed the GMP.
17.7.3
CM@Risk must prepare its GMP Proposal in accordance with City’s request for GMP Proposal
requirements based on the most current completed Drawings and Specifications at that
time, which unless otherwise directed by City in writing, will be at 100% Construction
Drawings. CM@Risk must mark the face of each document of each set upon which its GMP
Proposal is based.
These documents must be identified as the GMP Plans and
Specifications. CM@Risk must send one set of those documents to the Project Manager,
keep one set and return the third set to the Design Professional.
17.7.4
An updated/revised Detailed Project Schedule, Equipment Plan, and Schedule of Values
must be included in any GMP Proposal(s), all of which must reflect the GMP Plans and
Specifications the Detailed Project Schedule must be shown in relationship to the Project
Schedule and identify any variance to the Baseline Project Schedule. Any such Detailed
Project Schedule updates/revisions must continue to comply with the requirements of
Section 17.3.1 through 17.3.5.
17.7.5
GMP Proposals(s) Review and Approval
17.7.5.1
CM@Risk must meet with the Project Team to review the GMP Proposal(s) and the written
statement of its basis. In the event the Project Team discovers inconsistencies or
inaccuracies
in the information presented, CM@Risk must make adjustments as
necessary to the GMP Proposal.
17.7.5.2
If during the review and negotiation of GMP Proposals design changes are required, City
may authorize and cause the Design Professional to revise the GMP Plans and Specifications
to the extent necessary to reflect the agreed-upon assumptions and clarifications contained
in the final approved GMP Proposal. Such revised GMP Plans and Specification will be
furnished to CM@Risk. CM@Risk must promptly notify the Project Team in writing if any
such revised
GMP Plans and Specifications are inconsistent with the agreed upon
assumptions and clarifications.
17.7.6
All portions of or items comprising the GMP Proposal are subject to audit by City, as
deemed appropriate by City, including, without limitation, any based upon unit prices or
Work to be self- performed by CM@Risk, or its affiliates.
17.8
PAYMENT PROCEDURE FOR PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
17.8.1
Requests for monthly payments by CM@Risk for Pre-Construction Services must be
submitted monthly and must be accompanied by a progress report, detailed invoices
and receipts, if applicable. Any requests for payment must include, as a minimum, a
narrative description of the tasks accomplished during the billing period, a listing of any
Deliverables submitted, and copies of any Subconsultants’ requests for payment, plus
similar narrative and listings of Deliverables associated with their Work. Payment for
services negotiated as a lump sum will be made in accordance with the percentage of work
completed during the preceding month.
17.8.2
In no event will City pay more than seventy-five (75%) of the Contract Price until acceptance
of ALL Pre-Construction Services and award of the final approved Construction Services
Contract for the entire Project by City Council. If CM@Risk does not prepare a GMP
Proposal that is acceptable to City, or the GMP Proposal exceeds the City’s Construction
Budget, then CM@Risk understands and acknowledges that it will forfeit any right to
General Conditions
Revised: 10/19/2021
GC-75 of 75
receive the 25% of the Contract Price being retained by City.
17.8.3
CM@Risk agrees that no charges or claims for costs or damages of any type will be made by
it for any delays or hindrances beyond the reasonable control of City during the progress of
any portion of Pre-Construction Services specified in this Contract. Such delays or
hindrances, if
any, will be solely compensated for by an extension of time for such
reasonable period and may be mutually agreed between the parties. It is understood
and agreed, however, that permitting CM@Risk to proceed to complete any such Services,
in whole or in part after the date to which the time of completion may have been extended,
will in no way act as a waiver on the part of City of any of their respective legal rights herein.
17.8.4
No compensation to CM@Risk will be allowed contrary to Article I, Chapter I, Title 34 of the
Arizona Revised Statutes.
17.8.5
If any service(s) executed by CM@Risk is abandoned or suspended in whole or in part, for
a period of more than 180 days through no fault of CM@Risk, CM@Risk is to be paid for
the services performed prior to the abandonment or suspension.
17.9
SURVIVAL OF THE DESIGN SERVICES CONTRACT, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND
WARRANTIES
If the GMP Proposal is accepted by City and a Construction Contract is entered into
between City and CM@Risk, the duties, obligations and warranties of CM@Risk under the
Pre- Construction Services Contract survive and are incorporated into the resulting
Construction Contract.

CALCULATING DELAYS AND DAMAGES
The purpose of this policy statement is to establish guidelines and procedures for negotiation
between the Contractor and City of Chandler relating to compensation for delays pursuant to
Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) 34-221(F). This policy statement contains notice requirements in
addition to those set forth in the Contractor Documents, and will be the Contract Provision
contemplated by that statute.
NOTE: As used herein, the term “Engineer” will refer to the City of Chandler City Engineer or
his/her designated representative. Nothing in this Policy Statement will be construed to void any
provision in the Contract which requires timely notice of delays or provides for arbitration or
any other procedure for settlement or provides for liquidated damages.
I.
TYPES OF DELAYS:
For the purposes of this document, there are essentially four types of delays encountered by
City of Chandler Construction Contractors; excusable/compensable, excusable/non-
compensable, non- excusable, and concurrent. Only delays that extend Contract
Completion Time set forth in the Contract Document will be considered for issues
relating to Contract extensions or additional compensation. All other delays are
considered to be activity delays and do not entitle the Contractor to either time
extensions or additional compensation. Contract Completion Time will be defined as the
date set forth in Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Uniform Standard Specification
Section 101 and as may be modified by the Contract Documents.
A.
Excusable/Compensable:
These are delays caused solely by the City’s actions or inactions, are unreasonable
under the circumstances, and which were not within the contemplation of the
parties to the Contract at or prior to the time of execution of the Contract.
Since the Contractor presumably has no control over the events causing the delay,
he may be entitled to both contract time extensions and additional compensation for
delay damages. Further, he/she may be entitled to additional compensation from
the impact of that delay on other work. Examples of excusable/compensable (E/C)
delays include: failure to properly locate an underground City-owned utility within
2 feet of the actual location; failure to relocate City-owned utilities far enough in
advance of construction in an area where the Contractor is scheduled to work
that it delays start or completion of the Contractor’s regularly scheduled work;
failure to provide City-furnished equipment or materials in a timely manner if
required by the Contract; failure to acquire necessary Right-of-Way or Public Utility
Easements prior to the Contractor beginning Work in the area; failure to timely return
Shop Drawings or other Contract Submittals in accordance with the Contract;
unreasonable delay by the City in making decisions which affect critical activities;
surveying errors when the City is contractually responsible for providing Project
Surveying. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, but is intended merely as examples
of the type of City action or inaction which can result in a Contractor’s claim for
additional time and compensation.
App’d 1/7/22
APP-3 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
B.
Excusable/Non-compensable:
These are delays over which neither the City nor the Contractor had control. Since
both parties to the Contract have been potentially damaged by the delay, but
neither have caused it, only Time Extensions are warranted. Examples of excusable,
non-compensable (E/N) delays include: unusually severe weather; fire; acts of God;
failure of non-City owned utilities (SRP, CenturyLink, Cable TV, Southern Pacific
Railroad, and Southwest Gas, etc.) to properly or timely locate accurately; failure of
non-City owned utilities to relocate in advance of construction; the voluntary or
involuntary filing for Bankruptcy protection by a Supplier or Subcontractor which
causes the Supplier/Subcontractor to fail to meet a contractual deadline provided
the Contractor can provide documentation that he/she executed the required
Purchase Orders/Subcontract Agreements and received delivery schedules which,
if met, would have eliminated the delay; delays as a result of an incomplete
shutdown of a City or non-City owned utility main (the City does not guarantee a
complete shutdown). This list also is not necessarily all inclusive but merely
indicative of type and class of E/N delays.
C.
Non-excusable/Non-compensable:
These are delays caused by the actions or inactions of Contractor or an officer,
employee, agent, Subcontractor, Supplier or any other party for whom the
Contractor is responsible. Since the Contractor has assumed responsibility for the
risks associated with the events that caused the delay, he/she are not entitled to
either time extensions or monetary delay damages. All non-excusable delays are
also non-compensable. Examples of non- excusable, non-compensable (N/N)
delays include: failure to perform by the Contractor, its Subcontractors and/or
Suppliers (except as noted in section I.B above); failure to provide adequate
labor,
materials,
and/or
equipment
on
the
Project;
failure
to
perform
contractually-required coordination with utilities, agencies and other Contractors;
failure to notify the Engineer, in writing, of delay impacts within two working days,
as required by MAG 104.2.3, or the next work day, as required by MAG 109.8.2;
failure to timely submit Shop Drawings; failure to pothole or otherwise visually locate
utilities sufficiently ahead of the Work to allow the Engineer to direct corrective
action when necessary; delays due to retesting of previously failed work, re-
inspection, and/or restaking resulting from faulty workmanship, poor quality
control, or lack of compliance with Contract Specifications. Again, this list is not
necessarily all inclusive.
D.
Concurrent:
When two or more delays occur simultaneously or overlap, each delay is
analyzed separately to determine its impact on the overall project completion date
based on when that delay started. Once again, only those delays which actually
extend the contract completion time are considered as delays. The concurrent
delay is considered an additional delay only to the extent it prolongs the delay to
the Contract Completion Time beyond the date that the one it is concurrent with
had already delayed that date. For example, if two delays are concurrent, and one
is five days long and the second is seven days long, the second concurrent delay will
App’d 1/7/22
APP-4 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
only extend the Contract Completion Time by two days. The same method of analysis
is used when there are multiple concurrent delays. Only those extending the Project
Completion Date are considered to be delays for the purposes of this policy. The
portion of each concurrent delay that delays the completion of the work is classified
in the same manner as described previously for individual delays and being either
E/C, E/N or N/N.
An example of a concurrent delay is where the City delays furnishing material,
but the Contractor could not have installed it anyway due to unusually severe
weather. The effect of the first delaying activity will extend for the full duration
and will be considered controlling on the Contractor’s schedule. A subsequent,
concurrent delay will thereafter only be considered to effect the project completion
(if at all) once the first delaying activity has ceased to impact the project completion.
In this case, if the unusually severe weather continued and delayed the work after
the material was delivered, the first portion of the delay would be classified E/C
(delay for material) and the second as E/N (delay due to unusually severe weather).
Using the procedure set forth above, the entire concurrent portion would be
considered E/C as shown in the chart which follows.
Example of a Concurrent Delay:
E/C Delay
E/N Delay
City Related Material Delay
Rain Delay
II.
ANALYZING THE DELAY:
The Contractor must provide all documents required or requested by the Engineer to analyze the
delay(s). It is important to understand that, prior to the delay analysis, delays and their impacts are
alleged issues. The information the Contractor provides will be compared with the Inspector’s Daily
Log, Schedules and other available Project information and together they will support or refute that
delays occurred and, if so, how they impact other work and the overall project completion. The
Contractor’s delay in providing these documents will be considered prima facie evidence that either
the delay did not occur or it did not impact the Project Completion Date and any claim for time
extension or damages will be denied.
The Engineer will accept delay analyses in CPM format, as these may demonstrate to his/her
satisfaction whether or not Project Completion has been impacted by a specific event. If the
Contractor chooses not to use CPM scheduling procedures, then the burden will be on the
Contractor to prove to the Engineer’s satisfaction that the Project Completion has been
impacted. The procedures below assume that the Contractor is using CPM scheduling methods.
App’d 1/7/22
APP-5 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
As a minimum the Contractor must provide the following materials to the Engineer:
A.
As-Planned Schedule. The initial construction schedule, required by the Contract
Documents, will be considered the baseline schedule. It is to the Contractor’s
advantage that the As-Planned (baseline) Schedule be as detailed as possible in
order for delays, as they occur, to be incorporated into the schedule in
representative locations. It is also to the Contractor’s advantage to use a computer
software program to generate the schedule since updated schedules are required
monthly by the Contract Documents and since updated schedules are required
to support delays and requests for additional compensation for delays. The As-
Planned (baseline) Schedule must be presented in network format which clearly
shows the interrelationships of the activities. The Contractor must also provide a
printout of the activities showing early start, early finish, late start, late finish,
duration and float. The activity list printout must also indicate predecessor and
successor activities.
B.
As-Built Schedules. The as planned (baseline) schedule must be updated with
complete progress-to-date information (actualized) up to the date of the start of the
alleged delay. Each updated schedule will serve as the as-built schedule for analyzing
the alleged delay and provide a new baseline as-planned schedule for the next delay.
This process must be repeated for each alleged delay as it occurs. In updating the
baseline schedule, the alleged delay must be treated as an activity and inserted into
the schedule as a predecessor to the impacted activity (ies). When an activity that
has already started is impacted, it is preferable to divide this activity into two
parts and show the impact affecting the second part. For schedules which
incorporate a time line (or data date), the delay activity must be inserted at the time
it actually occurred. Some software scheduling programs have a PAUSE-RESUME
feature that can be used to facilitate the requirements. The updated schedule must
also be accompanied by a listing of activities as with the baseline schedule. This
activities list must contain the alleged delay as an activity showing the duration and
the activities which are predecessors and successors to it. When computer
generated schedules are used, the Contractor must provide, in electronic media
format, the complete data files for the updated schedule that included the delay
activity, preferably either in Suretrak or in Microsoft Project. Each electronic media
must contain a label identifying the Project name, Contractor’s name, program
name and version number, data date and project finish date.
C.
Other Documents: In order to determine the amount of the alleged delay and if
it is compensable, the Contractor must provide all backup documentation relevant to
the issue and as required by the Engineer. This documentation must include copies
of such items as: purchase orders; delivery schedules; correspondence; memoranda
of telephone calls; force account daily worksheets (initialed by the Inspector);
payroll data; estimating (bid) worksheets; and any other materials which may be
requested by the Engineer.
D.
Procedure: Only after receipt of sufficient documentation will the Engineer analyze
each alleged delay and determine if it is supported or refuted. If supported, the
Engineer will determine if it is excusable or non-excusable, compensable or non-
compensable. If the Engineer determines that the delay did not affect the Project
Completion, the as-planned schedule, which has been updated to the date of the
alleged delay, must be revised to indicate this. If the Engineer determines the delay
App’d 1/7/22
APP-6 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
did occur but was N/N, then no time extension will be granted. It is imperative that
an actualized schedule be submitted as soon as the occurrence of the alleged delay
is known. In no event will the Contractor submit an actualized updated schedule
later than 60 days after the occurrence of the alleged delay becomes known.
If the Engineer determines the delay did occur and was excusable but, due to a
reason listed in section I.B. is non-compensable, he/she will determine the length
of the E/N delay and prepare a Change Order to add that time to the Contract. The
Engineer’s decision will be final.
If the Engineer determines the delay was excusable and compensable, he/she will
determine the length of the E/C delay and proceed to review the Contractor’s
damage calculations in accordance with Section III. The Engineer will check the
Contractor’s calculations, review the backup documentation provided, and prepare a
Change Order to cover both the additional compensation and the time extension.
The Engineer’s decision on both the time extension and additional compensation for
the delay will be final.
If the issue involves a concurrent delay, the Engineer will analyze available data
to determine the portions which are E/C, E/N, and/or N/N as described above. The
Engineer will proceed to determine the length of E/C delay and verify the Contractor’s
delay damage calculations, if any are provided. Upon completion of this review, the
Engineer will prepare a Change Order for the Contractor’s review and signature.
The Engineer’s decision regarding excusable delay and additional compensation for
the delay is final.
The amount of time the Engineer will require to analyze the alleged delay(s) will
depend upon the Engineer’s workload, the complexity of the delay analysis,
availability of supporting data, extent of cooperation by the Contractor, and other
factors beyond the Engineer’s control. It is entirely possible other delay(s) may
occur while the Engineer is analyzing particular claim for delay(s). The Engineer’s
failure to respond to the Contractor in a set period of time will not be used as the
basis for a further delay claim or as justification for extending and existing delay
claim. The time required for delay analysis by the Engineer will not be counted
against the time allotted for processing Final Payment as required by (MAG Section
109.7(B)) or the release of retention and Final Payment as prescribed by A.R.S.
Arizona Revised Statutes §34-221.
III.
CALCULATING MONETARY DELAY DAMAGES:
Additional compensation for delay, when authorized by the Engineer, will be calculated in accordance
with MAG Section 109.5 ACTUAL COST WORK with the following exceptions:
A.
No additional compensation or other monetary damages will be awarded or paid for
any loss of anticipated profits by the Contractor, Subcontractors or Suppliers.
B.
No additional compensation or other monetary damages will be awarded for home
office overhead or non-project general conditions of the Contractor, Subcontractors
or Suppliers.

1.
Contractor-owned equipment rate calculations must be computed in
accordance with Section 109.04(D)(3), Arizona Department of Transportation
“Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction,” 2008 or latest
edition and as modified herein. Year and regional adjustment factors must
be based on the most recent publications of the Rental Rate Blue Book for
Construction
Equipment, published
by
the
Equipment
Guide-Book
Company, San Jose, CA, same as provided by ADOT and in print as of the
date of alleged delay. In no event will the compensation for Contractor-
owned equipment exceed the purchase price, including tax, paid by the
Contractor for the equipment. Compensation will not be allowed for small
tools or equipment that show a daily equipment rental rate of less than $5.00
per day or for unlisted equipment that has a value of less than for
hundred dollars ($400.00).
2.
For leased and rented equipment or equipment not otherwise listed in the
Blue Book, rental contracts, or other supporting data will be used to establish
the hourly rate. No hourly operating expense will be allowed for delay on
standby equipment. In no case will equipment be considered for rental which
exceeds the hourly rate for the first eight hours and the daily rate
divided by eight for all additional hours as compared with similar
equipment listed in the Blue Book. The hourly standby rate must be
computed as the lesser of:
a.
Dividing the monthly invoice or rental value by 176 hours
per month when the equipment is utilized by the Contractor
for more than three weeks;
b.
Dividing the monthly invoice or rental value by 40 hours per
week when the equipment is utilized by the Contractor for
more than three days.
In no event will compensation be paid for delay at more than
8 hours per day or 40 hours per week.
3.
Except for vehicles used by supervisory personnel, all equipment will be paid
at the “standby” rate during the delay period.
4.
Equipment brought solely to mitigate the delay (such as pumps, light plants,
etc.) may be paid in accordance with ADOT section 109.04(D) (3).
5.

COST REDUCTION INCENTIVE PROPOSALS
FOR DESIGN BID BUILD CONTRACTS
The Contractor may submit to the Engineer proposals for modifying the Plans, Specifications, or
other requirements of the Contract for the sole purpose of reducing the total cost of Project
construction. The proposals must not impair in any manner the essential functions or characteristics
of the project; including but not limited to service life, economy of operations, ease of maintenance,
desired appearance, compatibility with existing or planned equipment, standardization of
systems, or design and safety standards.
It must not be inferred from this Policy that the Engineer is required to consider any proposal
submitted.
Submissions that propose changes in the basic design of a bridge, propose changes in pipe line
size, materials, bedding conditions, pipe specifications; or that propose any change in pavement
design will not be considered.
Proposals submitted pursuant to this Policy will be identified as Cost Reduction Incentive Proposals.
They must be submitted in writing and, at a minimum, contain the following.
1.
Complete the attached or similar cost reduction incentive proposal form.
2.
A description of both the existing Contract Requirements for performing the work
and the proposed changes.
3.
All Engineering Drawings and computations necessary for the thorough and
expeditious evaluation.
4.
An itemization of the existing Contract Requirements that must be changed if the
Proposal is adopted and a recommendation as to the manner in which the change
should be made.
5.
A detailed estimate of the cost of performing the Work under the existing Contract
and under the proposed changes, including the cost of developing and
implementing the changes.
6.
The Contract items affected by the proposed changes and any variations in
quantities resulting from the changes.
7.
An objective estimate of any effects the proposal will have on collateral cost to the
City, costs of related items, and cost of maintenance and operation.
8.
A statement as to the effect that the Proposal will have on the time for the
completion of the Project.
9.
A statement as to the time by which a Change Order adopting the Proposal must
be executed or when the Engineer must have given verbal approval.
Proposals will be processed expeditiously; however, the City will not be liable for any delay in acting
upon any Proposal nor for any failure to accept any Proposal pursuant to this Special Provision.
App’d 1/7/22
APP-11 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 2
The Engineer will be the sole judge of the acceptability of a Proposal and of the estimated net
savings in construction costs from the adoption of all or any part of the Proposal. The Contractor
will be notified in writing by the Engineer as to whether his/her Proposal has been accepted. The
decision by the Engineer is final.
When the City deems such action to be appropriate, it reserves the right to require the Contractor to
share equally in the cost to the City of investigating, evaluating, and processing the proposal as a
condition for the consideration of such Proposal. Such cost must be shared whether the Proposal is
accepted or rejected. When such a condition is imposed, the City will estimate these costs and the
Contractor must indicate his acceptance thereof in writing. Such acceptance will authorize the City
to deduct the Contractor’s share of the costs from any monies due or that may become due to the
Contractor under the Contract.
If the Contractor’s Proposal is accepted in whole or in part, the necessary Contract Modifications
and Contract Price Adjustments will be affected by the execution of a Change Order which will
specifically state that it is executed pursuant to this Special Provision.
The Contractor must continue to perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract until a Change Order incorporating the Proposal has been executed or until he/she has
been given verbal approval by the Engineer that his/her Proposal has been accepted. If the
Change Order has not been executed or he/she has not been given verbal approval on or before the
date specified on the attached cost reduction incentive proposal form or on or before such other date
as the Contractor may have subsequently specified in writing, the Proposal may be deemed to be
rejected.
The executed Change Order will incorporate the changes in the Plans, Specifications, or other
requirements of the Contract which are necessary to permit the Proposal, or such part of it which has
been accepted, to be put into effect, and will include any condition – upon which the City’s approval
thereof is based, if such approval is conditional. The executed Change Order may also extend
the time for the completion of the Contract if such an extension has been deemed to be
warranted by the Engineer as a result of his evaluation of the Proposal.
The executed Change Order will also establish the estimated net savings in the cost of performing
the Work attributable to the Proposal effectuated by the Change Order. In determining the net
savings, the right is reserved to the Engineer to disregard the Contract bid prices if, in his/her
judgment, such prices do not represent a fair measure of the value of the Work to be performed or
to be deleted. The net savings will be established by determining the Contractor’s cost of performing
the Work, taking into account his/her cost of developing the Proposal and implementing the
change, and reducing this amount by any ascertainable collateral costs to the City. The executed
Change Order may provide that the Contractor be paid 50 percent of the estimated net savings
amount.
The executed Change Order may also provide for the adjustment in Contract prices. Contract prices
may be adjusted by subtracting the City’s share of the accrued net savings.
The amount specified to be paid to the Contractor in the executed Change Order which effectuates a
Cost Reduction Proposal will constitute full compensation to the Contractor for the Cost Reduction
Proposal and the performance of the work thereof pursuant to the said Change Order.
Upon acceptance of a Cost Reduction Incentive Proposal, any restrictions imposed by the

COST OF THE WORK
(APPLICABLE SOLELY TO CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK AND JOB ORDER CONTRACTING)
SECTION 1 – COSTS TO BE REIMBURSED
1.1 Cost of the Work
The term Cost of the Work will mean costs necessarily incurred by Contractor in the proper
performance of the Work. Such costs must be at rates not higher than the standard paid at the place
of the Project except with prior consent of City. The Cost of the Work will include only the items set
forth in this Section 1.
1.2 Labor Costs
1.2.1
Wages of construction workers directly employed by the Contractor to perform the
construction of the Work at the site or, with City’s approval, at off-site workshops. Cost to
be reimbursed will be the actual wages paid to the individuals performing the work.
1.2.2
Wages or salaries of the Contractor’s supervisory and administrative personnel when
stationed at the site with City’s approval. No Contractor personnel stationed at the
Contractor’s home or branch offices will be charged to the Cost of the Work. Non-field
office based Contractor management and support personnel are expected to provide
service and advice from time to time throughout the job and his/her time devoted to
Project matters is considered to be covered by the Contractor’s Fee.
1.2.3
Wages and salaries of Contractor’s supervisory or administrative personnel who would
normally be stationed at the field office in accordance with Section 1.2.2 but who become
engaged, at factories,
workshops or on the road, in expediting the production or
transportation of materials or equipment required for the Work, but only for that portion
of his/her time required for the Work. Employee bonuses and/or costs associated with
Employee Stock Ownership Plans (“ESOP”) will not be considered reimbursable labor or
labor burden costs and will be considered non-reimbursable costs considered to be covered
by the Contractor’s Fee.
1.2.4
Costs paid or incurred by Contractor for taxes, insurance, contributions, assessments and
benefits required by law or collective bargaining agreements and, for personnel not
covered by such agreements, customary benefits such as sick leave, medical and health
benefits, holiday, vacations and pensions, provided such costs are based on wages and
salaries included in the Cost of the Work under Subparagraphs 1.2.1 through 1.2.3.
1.2.4.1 Cost of the Work will include the actual net cost to Contractor for worker’s
compensation insurance attributable to the wages chargeable to the Cost of Work per this
Agreement. The actual net cost of worker’s compensation must take into consideration
all cost adjustments due to experience modifiers, premium discounts, policy dividends,
retrospective rating plan premium
adjustments, assigned risk pool rebates, any
applicable weekly maximums, etc. Contractor may charge an estimated amount for
worker’s compensation insurance costs, but will make appropriate cost adjustments to
actual costs within 45 days of receipt of actual cost adjustments from the insurance
carrier.

General Conditions
Appendix 9 – CM@Risk & JOC
1.2.4.3 Overtime wages paid to salaried personnel (if approved in advance in writing by City)
will be reimbursed at the actual rate of overtime pay paid to the individual. No time
charges for overtime hours worked on the Project will be allowed if the individual is not paid
for the overtime worked.
1.2.4.4 Any overtime premium or shift differential expense to be incurred by Contractor for hourly
workers will require City’s advance written approval before the incremental cost of the
overtime premium or shift differential will be considered a reimbursable cost. If the
Contractor is required to work overtime as a result of an inexcusable delay or other
coordination problems caused by the Contractor or anyone he/she is responsible for,
the overtime premium and/or shift differential expense portion of the payroll expense
and related labor burden costs will be considered as cost not to be reimbursed.
1.2.4.5 Reimbursable labor burden costs will be limited to payroll taxes, worker’s compensation
insurance, the employer’s portion of union benefit costs for union employees working on the
Project, and the actual verifiable fringe benefit costs incurred by Contractor for non-union
individuals working on the Project subject to the following maximum percentages for the
following reimbursable non-union fringe benefit costs. The following maximums (as a
percentage of reimbursable actual wages by individual) will apply for each of the following
types of fringe benefit costs specifically attributable to each of the non-union personnel
working on the Project:
•
Medical Insurance, Dental, Life & AD&D Insurance:
12.00%
•
Holiday, vacation and other paid time not worked:
10.00%
•
Pension Plan Contributions to Vested Employee Account,
Simplified Employee Pension Plans, or 401K matching plans
(Note: ESOP related costs are covered by the Contractor Fee)
10.00%
For non-union personnel, no other fringe benefit costs (other than the three specific
categories listed immediately above, will be considered reimbursable Cost of Work. Any
labor burden costs that are in excess of the amounts considered reimbursable or are
otherwise not considered reimbursable under the terms of this agreement are intended to
be covered by the Contractor Fee.
1.3
Subcontract Costs
1.3.1
Payments made by Contractor to Subcontractors in accordance with the requirements of
the subcontracts.
1.3.2
For Scope of Work Bid Packages typically performed by Subcontractors, Contractor may
“self- perform” such work on an actual cost basis subject to an agreed upon Guaranteed
Maximum Price for the “self-performed work”. The Contractor must, unless agreed to by City
in writing, bid his/her proposed guaranteed Maximum Price for the work to be “self-
performed” against at least three other interested trade Contractors. All savings under
any such Subcontract for “self-performed work” must be applied to reduce the Cost of Work
under the Contract and the Guaranteed Maximum Price. For purposes of defining “self-
performed work” subject to this provision, any division of Contractor, or any separate
Contractor or Subcontractor that is partially owned or wholly owned by the Contractor or
any of his/her employees or employee’s relatives will be considered a related party entity

and will be subject to this provision regarding “self-performed work”. No self-performed work
will be allowed to be performed on a Fixed Price basis.
1.3.3
Contractor (with respect to its Suppliers, Subcontractors and all lower tier Subcontractors)
must provide City advance written notice and must obtain City’s approval for any proposed
Subcontract Change Order, Material Purchase Order, or other financial commitment in an
amount in excess of $5,000 prior to placing such order or entering into such agreement
(regardless of whether or not any such commitment will affect the prime contract
Guaranteed Maximum Cost). It is agreed that sums applicable to any Subcontract Change
Order, Purchase Order or other financial commitment entered into in violation of the above
notice and approval requirement will not be included in the amounts owning to Contractor,
Subcontractors or Suppliers whether as Costs of the Work or as reasonable termination
costs in the event of termination.
1.4
Costs of Material and Equipment Incorporated in the Completed Construction
1.4.1
Costs, including transportation and storage, of materials and equipment incorporated or
to be incorporated in the completed construction.
1.4.2
Costs of materials described in the preceding Subparagraph 1.4.1 in excess of those
actually installed to allow for reasonable waste and spoilage. Unused excess materials, in
any, will become City’s property at the completion of the Work or, at City’s option, may be
sold by the Contractor. Any amounts realized from such sales must be credited to City as a
deduction from the Cost of Work.
1.4.3
Proceeds from the sale of recyclable materials, scrap, waste, etc. will be credited to job cost.
1.5
Costs of Other materials and Equipment, Temporary Facilities and Related Items
1.5.1
Costs, including transportation and storage, installation, maintenance, dismantling and
removal of materials, supplies, temporary facilities, machinery, equipment and hand tools
not customarily owned by construction workers, that are provided by the Contractor at the
site and fully consumed in the performance of the Work; and cost (less salvage value) of such
items if not fully consumed, whether sold to others or retained by Contractor. Cost for
items previously used by Contractor will mean fair market value.
1.5.2
Rental charges for temporary facilities, machinery, equipment, and hand tools not
customarily owned by construction workers that are provided by Contractor at the site,
whether rented from Contractor or others, and costs of transportation, installation, minor
repairs and replacements,
dismantling and removal thereof. Rates and quantities of
equipment rented will be subject to City’s prior written approval.
1.5.2.1 The Projected usage for each piece of equipment to be rented for use on the Project and
the estimated total rentals must be considered by Contractor before the piece of
equipment is rented so that an appropriate rent versus buy decision can be made.
Purchased equipment must be considered “job owned”. At the completion of the Project,
Contractor must transfer title and possession of all remaining job-owned equipment to
City, or Contractor may keep any such equipment for an appropriate fair market value
credit to job cost, which will be mutually agreed to by City and Contractor.
App’d 1/7/22
APP-26 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 9 – CM@Risk & JOC
1.5.2.2 Each piece of equipment to be rented must have hourly, daily, weekly and monthly rates
and the most economical rate available will be reimbursed based on the circumstances of
actual need and usage of the piece of equipment while it is stationed at the jobsite.
When the piece of equipment is no longer needed for the work, no rental charges will be
reimbursed if the piece of equipment remains at the jobsite for the convenience of
Contractor.
1.5.2.3 Equipment Rental Rates
1.5.2.3.1 Compensation for equipment used on the Project will be paid in accordance with the
Equipment Plan submitted by Contractor in the accepted GMP Proposal and no payments
will be made in excess of the rates set forth in the Equipment Plan, or actual
documented costs, whichever is less.
1.5.2.3.2 All equipment rental rates and costs are subject to City’s right to audit when submitted as
part of Equipment Plan and/or at any time during the Project.
1.5.2.4 The aggregate rentals chargeable for each piece of Contractor owned tools or equipment
must not exceed 50% of the fair market value of such equipment at the time of its
commitment to the Work. The original purchase price and date of purchase of the equipment
will be documented with a copy of the purchase invoice for the piece of equipment. Such
aggregate limitations will apply and no further rentals will be charged even if a piece of
equipment is taken off the job and is later replaced by a similar piece of equipment. For
purposes of computing the aggregate rentals applicable to aggregate rental limitations,
rental charges for similar pieces of equipment will be combined if the pieces of equipment
were not used at the same time.
1.5.2.5 Fair market value for used material and equipment as referred to in the Contract Documents
will mean the estimated price a reasonable purchaser would pay to purchase the used
material or equipment at the time it was initially needed for the job. Note: This is usually
lower than the price a reasonable purchaser would pay for similar new construction material
or construction equipment.
1.5.2.6 All losses resulting from lost, damaged or stolen tools and equipment will be the sole
responsibility of Contractor, and not City, and the cost of such losses will not be
reimbursable under the Contract.
1.5.2.7 Contractor will be required to maintain a detailed equipment inventory of all job-owned
equipment (either purchased and charged to job cost or job-owned through aggregate
rentals) and such inventory must be submitted to City each month. For each piece of
equipment, such inventory should contain at a minimum (1) original purchase price or
acquisition cost (2) acquisition date (3) approved Fair Market Value at the time the piece of
equipment was first used on the job and (4) final disposition.
1.5.2.8 All costs incurred for minor maintenance and repairs will be reimbursed at actual cost. Such
costs include routine and preventative maintenance, minor repairs and other incidental
costs. Repairs and/or replacement of a capital nature are considered to be covered by the
rental rates. Major repairs and overhauls are not considered routine and ordinary;
consequently such costs are not reimbursable and are intended to be covered by the rental

1.5.5.1 No travel expenses will be reimbursed to Contractor’s representatives unless Project related
travel required them to travel to a destination more than 100 miles from the Project
location. Any travel involving airfare will require advance written approval by an authorized
City’s representative.
1.5.6
Costs of materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a mutually acceptable
location, if approved in advance by the City.
1.5.7
Reproduction costs will be the actual costs of reproduction subject to a maximum of five
cents ($.05) per square foot for prints and a maximum of five cents ($.05) per 8 ½ by 11-
inch page for offset print or photo copied contract documents, specifications, etc.
Telephone costs will be the actual costs paid to the third party telephone company for the

Miscellaneous Costs
1.6.1
That portion of insurance and bond premiums that can be directly attributed to the Contract.
The City will reimburse Contractor for contractually required bond at time of first pay
application for GMP and Cost-Based contracts upon receipt of proof of payment from
the Contractor. If the Contractor completes Work for less than the Contract Price,
Contractor must credit the City a pro- rated amount for the unused portion of the bond
payment
1.6.1.1 Contractor’s actual cost for insurance will be considered to be included within the Maximum
limit for General Conditions Costs. All premiums for any insurance and bonds required for
the Project must reflect the net actual costs to Contractor after taking into consideration cost
adjustments due
to experience modifiers, premium
discounts, policy dividends,
retrospective rating plan premium adjustments, assigned risk pool rebates, refunds, etc.
1.6.1.2 The amount to be reimbursed to Contractor for all contractually required insurance will be
actual costs not to exceed a total of 2% of the Contract Value, unless Contractor
establishes to City’s satisfaction that the actual cost is higher and City agrees to such actual
higher cost in writing. If Contractor’s cost of contractually required insurance is greater
than the amount agreed to be reimbursed per this Contract Provision, the difference will
be considered to be covered by the Contractor’s Fee. The City will reimburse Contractor
for contractually required insurance on a monthly basis for GMP and Cost-Based
contracts. If Contractor can demonstrate substantial savings by paying for all insurance in
advance, the City may agree to reimburse all insurance costs at time of first pay application

costs of legal defenses, judgments and settlements must not be included in the calculation
of the Contractor’s Fee or subject to the Guaranteed Maximum Price.
1.6.6
Data processing costs related to the Work. However, any such data processing costs will be
limited to the cost of personal computer hardware used at the field office in the
normal day to day administration, management and control of the Project. The
aggregate charges for any such hardware must not exceed the Fair Market Value of the
hardware at the time it was brought to the field office. If the total charges for any particular
piece of hardware reach an amount equal to the Fair Market Value, that particular piece of
hardware must be turned over to City whenever it is no longer needed for the Project. If
Contractor elects to keep the particular piece of hardware, the job costs must be credited
with a mutually agreeable amount which will represent the Fair Market Value of the
particular piece of hardware at the time it was no longer needed for the job. Software or
other costs associated with the use of computer programs will not be considered to be a
reimbursable cost and will be considered to be covered by the Contractor’s Fee.

feet (3 meters to 60 meters). The measured chromaticity coordinates of the LED
pedestrian signal module will conform to the chromaticity requirements of Section 5.3 and
Figure C of the PTCSI standard.
The LED pedestrian signal module will be man/hand overlay with fill-in figures for both
the man and the hand. Outline and/or side-by-side modules will not be used.
The LED pedestrian signal module will conform to all other specifications in this
document, where applicable.
The LED signal module will be rated for use in the ambient operating temperature range,
measured at the exposed rear of the module, of -40F to +165F (–40C to +74C).
The LED signal module will be protected against dust and moisture intrusion per the
requirements of NEMA Standard 250-1991, Section 4.7.2.l and 4.7.3.2, for Type 4
enclosures to protect all internal LED, electronic, and electronic components.
The LED signal module lens will be UV stabilized and scratch resistant.
The external lens surface for all vehicle signals will be smooth, with no raised features,
so as to minimize the collection of dirt, diesel smoke, and other particulate contaminates,
and to facilitate periodic cleaning. External lens facets are not allowed. The LED signal
module lens will be UV stabilized and scratch resistant.
The LEDs will be mounted and soldered to a printed circuit board. The LED signal module
will be watertight when properly mounted in an installed traffic signal housing. The LED
signal module will utilize the same mounting hardware used to secure the incandescent
lens and gasket assembly and only require a screwdriver or standard installation tool to
complete the mounting into an existing traffic signal housing built to the VTCSH Standard.
Unit will connect to existing electrical wiring utilizing quick connect terminal.
The LED signal module will be a single, self-contained device, not requiring on-site
assembly for installation into an existing traffic signal housing. The power supply for the
LED signal module will be an integral part of the module. The LED signal module
assembly will weigh less than 5 pounds.
The assembly and manufacturing process for the LED signal module will be designed to
assure all internal LED and electronic components are adequately supported to withstand
mechanical shock and vibration from high winds and other sources.
When necessary, modules will have a prominent and permanent vertical indexing
indicator, i.e., UP ARROW or the word UP or TOP, for correct indexing and orientation
inside signal housing.
Each individual LED signal module will be identified for Warranty purposes and clearly
marked with:

Nominal operating voltage
Power consumption in Watts
Environmental:
The LED signal module will operate over the temperature range of -40F to +165F (–
40C to +74C). The LED signal module will be protected against dust and moisture
intrusion per the requirements of NEMA Standard 250-1991, Section 4.7.2.l and 4.7.3.2,
for Type 4 enclosures to protect all internal LED, electronic, and electronic components.
Electrical – Input:
LED signal modules will operate from a 60 +/- 3 cycle AC line power over a voltage range
from 80 VAC RMS to 135 VAC RMS. The control circuitry will prevent current flow through
the LEDs in the off state to avoid any false indication as may be perceived by the human
eye. The LED traffic signal module will be operationally compatible with NEMA TS - 1 and
NEMA TS - 2 conflict monitoring parameters.
Green LED signals will not illuminate for input voltages below 35 VAC RMS and will
illuminate for all input voltages higher than 45 VAC RMS (voltage will be regulated above
80 VAC RMS). This requirement is so that a green indication will not illuminate due to a
“floating” or high-impedance neutral connection.
All wiring and terminal blocks will meet the requirements of Section 13.02 of the VTCSH
standard. Two secured, color coded, 36 inch (914 mm) long 600 V, 20 AWG minimum,
jacketed wires, conforming to the National Electrical Code, rated for service at +221F
(+105C), are to be provided for electrical connection.
The signal module on-board circuitry will include voltage surge protection to withstand
high-repetition noise transients and low-repetition high-energy transients as stated in
Section 2.1.6, NEMA Standard TS-2, 1992.
The individual LED light sources will be wired so that a catastrophic failure of one LED
light source will result in the loss of not more than 5 percent of the signal module light
output. One LED failure in an LED Signal Module will not affect any other LEDs. In case
of a failure of one LED, only one LED will be lost and not an entire string or module.
Power factor will be 90% or greater, at nominal rated voltage, at 77F (25C), after 60
minutes of operation.
Total harmonic distortion induced into an AC power line by an LED signal module,
operated at nominal operating voltage, with a power consumption equal to or greater than
15 watts at 770F (250C) will not exceed 20 percent. Total harmonic distortion induced
into an AC power line by an LED signal module, operated at nominal operating voltage,
with a power consumption less than 15 watts at 77F’ (259C ) will not exceed 40 percent.
The LED signal and associated on-board circuitry must meet Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Title 47, subpart B, Section 15 regulations concerning the emission
of electronic noise.

Optical – Output:
The light intensity and distribution from LED signal modules will as a minimum, meet the
current ITE and CAL TRANS standards and measurement criteria for vehicle traffic
control, even after a 30 minute warm up of continuous operation.

Cortland, NY 13045-0950
The light output of all LED vehicle signal modules will also meet ITE specifications for
chromaticity.
Fluctuations in line voltage over the range of 80 VAC to l35 VAC will not affect luminous
intensity by more than +/- 10 percent.
LED traffic signals will be temperature compensated so as to maintain intensity at
elevated temperatures. LED traffic signal will be tested and documented by CAL TRANS
as being in compliance with CAL TRANS intensity standards at elevated temperatures.
The LEDs will not exhibit degradation of more than 30% of their initial light intensity
following accelerated life testing (operating at +185F (+85C) and 85% humidity, for 1000
hours). AlGaAs technology is not acceptable.
Warranty:
All LED traffic signal modules supplied will be warranted for five years against
manufacturing defects.

INTRODUCTION
Premier Engineering Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Olsson (Olsson Premier), has completed a
geotechnical evaluation and prepared this geotechnical evaluation report for the proposed Dobson Road
Improvements at Intel Driveway #1 and #4 located at Chaparral Way and north of Ocotillo Road within the
City of Chandler (City), Arizona. The location of the project site is illustrated in the site location map in
Appendix A. The purpose of this geotechnical investigation was to provide information on surface and
subsurface conditions and geotechnical engineering recommendations with regards to the design and
construction of the roadway improvements.
2.0
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Dobson Road Improvement project includes the preliminary and final engineering design for
improvements along Dobson Road at two driveway locations serving the Intel Ocotillo Campus. Olsson
Premier is the prime consultant to the City and DCS Contracting will perform the construction.
Driveway #1 is the northernmost Intel campus driveway on Dobson Road and it is located approximately
0.6 mile north of Ocotillo Road. Driveway #1 improvements include evaluating options for adding a second
right turn lane southbound on Dobson Road and the extent of the improvements depend on the results of a
preliminary design analysis. Two options for the proposed improvements at Driveway #1 were analyzed,
both of which would fulfill the ultimate design. Option 1 was to add two new dedicated right-turn lanes on
southbound Dobson Road, narrow the existing raised median, move the west curb south of the intersection,
and relocate the existing pedestrian ramps as needed. Option 2 was to include many of the same features
as Option 1, but keep the existing raised median in place, shift the west curb to add the southbound right-
turn lanes, and relocate traffic signals as needed.
Driveway #4 is the southernmost Intel campus driveway on Dobson Road and it is located at the
intersection of Chaparral Way. Driveway #4 improvements include new ADA ramps on all four corners,
restriping the east leg to provide a left turn lane, ITS conduit and pull boxes for future signal, restriping
crosswalks, and decomposed granite to tie into existing landscaping.

GEOTECHNICAL SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of our work for the geotechnical investigation included completion of a limited geotechnical
exploration to support the proposed Dobson Road improvements. The geotechnical evaluation services
included collection of subsurface information that will be utilized for the design and construction. In detail,
the scope of geotechnical services consisted of a site reconnaissance, boring marking for below ground
utility clearances and blue stake coordination, subsurface field exploration with soil borings, pavement
thickness measurements, soil sampling, field and laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and the
preparation of a geotechnical report with all collected geotechnical information and recommendations for
design and construction.
The field subsurface exploration included five soil borings extending to 5 to 10 feet depths, subsurface
logging, sample collection, and completion of Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) and or California Modified

Ring samples at five feet depth interval. Laboratory tests for the proposed improvements included
gradation, Atterberg limits, Proctor compaction, moisture content and unit weight, pH, resistivity, sulfate
content, and chloride content tests.
Olsson Premier has prepared this geotechnical evaluation report, as deliverable, with all collected
geotechnical information and developed recommendations for design and construction.

SITE CONDITIONS
4.1
SURFACE CONDITIONS
Dobson Road is a Major Arterial Road. It is currently paved with asphalt concrete and it includes two
through lanes in both directions (northbound and southbound). At Driveway #1, it includes bike lanes, a
right turn lane and a left turn lane to Intel driveway. At Driveway #4, Dobson Road includes bike lanes, a
left turn lane to Intel driveway and a left turn lane to Chaparral Way.
At both the driveway locations, properties east of Dobson Road are residential and properties west of
Dobson Road are commercial or light industrial. Other features that are present at these driveway
intersections are traffic control structures, light poles, concrete sidewalks, curb, gutters, raised islands,
landscaped areas, and some drainage features.
4.2
GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS AND NATURAL HAZARDS
The project site is located within the Sonoran Desert Section of the Basin and Range Physiographic
Province of the Western United States. The general Phoenix Metro Area is a home for broad alluvial valleys
separated by steep, linear, discontinuous, sub-parallel mountain ranges alternating with wide desert plains.
The Basin and Range Physiographic Province was created 15 to 17 million years ago by a tectonic process
which caused a series of high angle normal faults within this area. The up-thrown parts of the faults were
mountains and the downthrown parts became valleys. Since its creation, the valleys have received massive
amounts of sediment from erosion. The long-term sedimentation process and climatic changes continued
contribution to the weathering of rocks. The regional stream systems also introduced sediment from distant
areas. Therefore, the landforms within the general area consist of mountains and hills, river deposits, and
river valleys.
A brief study of the seismicity and neo-tectonic faults in Arizona was performed to evaluate the seismic
conditions of the current site. There are approximately 400 neo-tectonic faults present in the state of
Arizona. These 400 faults are distributed in 12 zones located within northwestern, southwestern, and
southeastern portions of the state and along the Transition Physiographic Province of Arizona.
The project site is not located near any major river. It is located 12 miles south of the Salt River and at
approximately the same distance northeast of the Gila River. According to the small-scale Geologic map of
Arizona, the materials at the site include Holocene Surficial Deposits. The surface and subsurface materials
in this area generally include unconsolidated deposits associated with modern fluvial systems. This unit
consists primarily of fine-grained well-sorted sediment on alluvial plains, but it also includes gravelly
channel, terrace, and alluvial-fan deposits on middle and upper piedmonts.

This site is located in a relatively stable tectonic region called the Sonoran Zone; located in southwestern
Arizona, southeastern California, southern Nevada, and northern Mexico. It has sparse seismicity and few
Quaternary faults. There are no known active faults underlying the subject site or adjacent areas. The
closest known Quaternary faults to the site is the Carefree Fault zone and the Sugarloaf Fault zone, located
approximately 40 miles to the north and northeast, respectively, of the site and the slip-rate of these faults
is less than 0.2 millimeters per year. Due to the presence of relatively dense subsurface materials, the lack
of near-surface water, and the low ground motion hazard, the likelihood of liquefaction is considered to be
negligible.
Subsidence is a basin wide phenomenon that would result in differential elevation changes over long
distances. Fissure gullies form over subsurface irregularities such as bedrock highs, which cause tensional
stresses and differential subsidence. Where such anomalies are not present, subsidence tends to be
uniform over a wide area. No evidence of earth fissures was observed on the site. The closest known earth
fissures are located in the Chandler Heights area, a few miles from this site. The site is located outside
known areas that have undergone considerable subsidence due to groundwater removal. Areas of
subsidence are known to produce earth fissure, which has affected areas within several miles south of the
site. Based on local experience, subsidence and earth fissures historically have not been a problem in this
area. However, if any cracks, crevasses, or fissures are noted during site excavation, Olsson Premier
should be notified immediately. Olsson Premier representative will then visit the site, assess the feature
and make recommendations regarding restorative measures.
The site is not a candidate for major geologic and other natural hazards including flooding, ground
settlement, liquefaction, ground fissures and subsidence.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Conservation Service
Web Soil Survey, the subsurface materials at the project sites include two soil groups including Estrella
Loam (CL) and Trix Clay Loam (CL). Liquid limits of these materials generally vary from 29 to 50 and
plasticity index vary from non-plastic to 12 to 25. Percent fraction passing No. 200 sieve varies from 42 to
90 percent.
4.3
GROUNDWATER
According to Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) online well data, the depth of the regional
groundwater table has been historically measured to be at more than 78 feet below the ground surface.
The groundwater level may not fluctuate much with the seasonal variations in precipitation due to its long
distance from stream flows.
4.4
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
Subsurface information was gathered by drilling five test borings within the project site, extending to 5 to 10
feet depths at the Dobson Road and project driveway intersections. The drilling was completed utilizing a
truck mounted CME 55 drill rig equipped with eight-inch outside diameter continuous flight hollow-stem
augers. The drilling was monitored and documented by Olsson Premier.

Standard penetration tests (SPT) in conformance with ASTM D 1586 were completed at different depths.
Subsurface materials were classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). For
information regarding soil classification, refer to Appendix B. Bulk, split spoon, and relatively undisturbed
ring samples were collected for laboratory tests. Bulk samples were collected at five-foot interval or at
change in material strata. Ring samples were collected at the approximate subgrade level, and the SPT
samples were taken at every five feet. For all boring locations on the existing pavements, the thicknesses
of pavement layers were measured and recorded. At each location, the borehole was backfilled with drill
cuttings and patched with cold-mix asphalt (as needed) at the conclusion of drilling operation for each
location. The locations of all the test borings and detailed descriptions of the subsurface materials
encountered at each boring location are provided in Appendix C.
Neither a groundwater table nor a saturated condition was encountered during the soil exploration at any
boring location.
4.5
LABORATORY TEST RESULTS
Laboratory tests were performed to complement information on the types of subsurface materials
determined at the site. The laboratory tests included gradation, plasticity index, Proctor compaction,
moisture content and unit weight, pH, resistivity, sulfate content, and chloride content tests. Gradation and
Atterberg limits tests were completed to determine classification of the soils and indicate other physical
properties such as strength, compressibility, and potential to change in volume due to exposure to excess
water. pH, resistivity, sulfate content, and chloride content tests were completed to determine chemical and
electrical properties of the soil that can be used to determine corrosion potential for buried
utilities/structures. Laboratory test results are contained in Appendix D.
Olsson Premier completed five particle size distributions (gradation) and five Atterberg limits tests. The test
results are summarized in the following table:

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Detailed information regarding the subsurface conditions encountered at each boring location is provided in
the boring logs contained in Appendix C. In a summary, the subsurface materials within the soil borings for
this project mostly consist of loose to medium dense silty clayey sand (SC, SC-SM) with gravel within the
upper ten feet depth. The materials are of low to medium plasticity (PI varies from 4 to 11) with percent
fines ranging from 15.8 to 38.9.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1
GENERAL
The recommendations in this report are based on the assumption that the subsurface conditions along the
Dobson Road at/near the two driveway locations are generally similar to those encountered at boring
locations and depths. If variations are noted during construction or changes in the design or materials are
made, Olsson Premier should be notified so that our recommendations can be revised and supplemented,
as necessary. The site conditions and the laboratory test results indicate that the soils at the site will
support the design and construction of the proposed improvements.
The design of pavements for this project was completed utilizing the City of Chandler Plans and
Specifications, Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and American Association of State Highway
and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guidelines for Design of Pavement Structures.

5.2
DESIGN R-VALUE AND SUBGRADE SUPPORTS
ADOT guidelines in Pavement Design Manual (PDM) were utilized to determine an equivalent mean R-
value for the subgrade. According to this model, the mean R-value was calculated based on correlated R-
values. The correlated R-values were estimated based on plasticity index and percent passing no. 200
sieve. The following table shows correlated R-values at different exploration locations.

Based on the above correlated R values and their variations, Olsson Premier considered a conservative R-
value of 42 to be used for the flexible pavement design.
5.3
RESILIENT MODULUS
The selected design R-value was utilized to calculate resilient modulus of the subgrade. The procedure
used the AASHTO formula to calculate modulus of resilience MR.

Based on the design R-value of 42 and a seasonal variation factor of 1.0 (PDM Table 2-4), a resilient
modulus MR value of 25,831 pounds per square inch (psi) was calculated using the above equation. This
design MR value is less than ADOT recommended maximum allowable value of 26,000 psi for roadway
subgrade and therefore, 25,831 psi was utilized for the design.
5.4
DESIGN TRAFFIC
Dobson Road is a Major Arterial roadway. Detailed traffic data for Dobson Road was not available.
However, traffic data for Dobson Road was gathered from 2019 Segment and Intersection Traffic Volumes
available online in City’s website for Arterial segments and intersections. Based on the available data,
average weekday traffic for Dobson Road is 19,700 in 2019. Olsson Premier assumed a 20 percent truck
traffic considering the ongoing and potential future construction activities at the Intel site. Considering a 20-
year design period, 50 percent directional distribution, 90 percent lane distribution, 0.21 truck factor (Arterial
street), 20 percent truck traffic, and 4.0 percent annual growth in traffic, a reasonably conservative design
equivalent single axle load (ESAL) was calculated to be 4.55 million.

5.5
DRAINAGE COEFFICIENT
Based on the expected quality of drainage as ‘fair’ and a seasonal variation factor of 1.0, a drainage
coefficient of 1.0 was obtained from Table 2-7 in the PDM.
5.6
SERVICEABILITY
An initial serviceability of 4.2 and a terminal serviceability of 2.8 were used for the design of the pavement
section on Dobson Road (PDM Table 2-2). Therefore, the resulting total serviceability index loss (PSI) is
considered to be 1.4.
5.7
STANDARD DEVIATION AND RELIABILITY
In accordance with ADOT policy, an overall standard deviation of 0.35 was utilized. For a roadway with a
design ADT over 10,000, a reliability of 95 percent was selected from Table 2-1. A standard normal
deviation (ZR) of -1.645 was selected from the same table.
5.8
STRUCTURAL NUMBER
Based on the procedure for flexible pavement design according to AASHTO Guidelines and using the
design parameters mentioned above, Olsson Premier calculated a structural number of 2.84.
5.9
MINIMUM PAVEMENT LAYER THICKNESSES
According to the City of Chandler Standard Details and Specifications Detail No. C-203, the minimum
required thickness for Asphalt Concrete is 5 inches. Detail No. C-239 was used to calculate the minimum
thickness for aggregate base course (depends on plasticity index and passing #200 sieve) and it was
determined to be 8 inches.
With layer coefficient of 0.44 for asphalt concrete and 0.14 for the aggregate base course, Olsson Premier
calculated a minimum asphalt concrete layer thickness of 4 inches over 8-inch thick aggregate base
course. Based on the above estimates utilizing the City of Chandler, ADOT and AASHTO guidelines,
Olsson Premier recommends the following pavement layer thicknesses for Dobson Road section:

DRAINAGE
Moisture that infiltrates into roadway subgrade could adversely affect pavement performance. The roadway
design should divert water away from where it could infiltrate into the subgrade. However, the use of
granular base and controlled compaction of subgrade will reduce the potential for adversely affecting the
pavement layers.
It is recommended that positive drainage be provided in the final design by providing adequate slope for a
distance of 5 feet or more away from the pavements. Surface water should not be allowed to pond on
pavement surface. The maintenance of storm water and subsurface drainage systems should be performed
during the entire life of the pavements. Planters and landscaping areas should be placed at sufficient
distance or with appropriate barriers to protect the subgrades from moisture intrusions. Since the root
system of large mature trees can grow under pavements and concrete slabs and cause associated
seepage, it is important to plant any large tree at adequate distances from the roadway. Infiltration of
ground water into excavations is not considered an issue at the site.
5.12
CORROSION AND SULFATE ATTACK
Corrosion is defined as the degradation of a material or its properties due to a reaction with the
environment. It exists in virtually all materials, but is most often associated with metals. Corrosion is a
common physical-biochemical phenomenon that occurs when unprotected materials come in contact with
soils. With some other factors in environment, different metal-soil combinations may cause different amount
of corrosion. Major soil factors that influence corrosion include soil type, moisture content, water table, pH,
resistivity, soluble ions content, oxidation-reduction potential, and the presence of microbes in soil.
The corrosion evaluation is commonly conducted based on the resistance of soil to the flow of electrical
current (resistivity), total acidity, soil drainage, soil texture, and some other properties of soils such as
sulfate/sulfide content, redox potential, chloride content, etc. Soil pH generally varies from 3.5 to 10.0 which
controls the environment for the development of ions, oxygen-reduction potential, and microbial activities in
soils. Soil resistivity indicates the resistance to the flow of electrical current in soil. For unprotected steel
exposed in soil, a soil is generally categorized as corrosive if the soil has a resistivity lower than 2,000
Ohm-cm. However, according to California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) 2018 corrosion criteria,
a project site is classified as corrosive if one or more of the following conditions exist for the representative
soil samples retrieved from the site:

• Soluble chloride concentration of 500 ppm or greater
• Soluble sulfate concentration of 1,500 ppm or greater
• Electrical resistivity of 1,100 ohm-centimeters or less
• pH of 5.5 or less.
To evaluate the corrosion potential of the site soils for underground metal structures, Olsson Premier
completed a few chemical and electrical tests, including pH, minimum resistivity, moisture content, soluble
sulfate, and soluble chloride tests. Based on the test results, the site soil has low potential for corrosion in
unprotected corrosive metals. Olsson Premier also utilized the Caltrans suggested method to evaluate the
rate of corrosion of metal pipes utilizing the combination of pH and minimum resistivity. This determination
indicates that unprotected ductile iron pipes within the project locations will undergo insignificant loss of
materials. However, although the determined values indicate low corrosion potential, high chemical
concentration in some areas as well as other corrosion factors may cause higher than anticipated amount
of corrosion. Granular pipe zone materials can significantly reduce potential corrosion effects. Type I or II
Portland cement can be used for subsurface concrete structures.
The results of the soluble sulfate content tests indicate low values (<1,000ppm or <0.1%) and therefore, the
materials fall in the exposure category So according to American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318-14 Table
19.3.1.1. Consequently, injurious sulfate attack is generally not a concern at the site.

EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1
GENERAL
All disturbed areas created during construction should be proof-rolled to delineate any soft or uncompacted
spots. All backfilling and disturbed areas should be compacted as per compaction and moisture
requirements specified in this report.
The earthwork at the improvement site should be evaluated by a geotechnical engineer or a qualified
representative. The evaluation should include observation and/or testing of site grading, excavation,
subgrade preparation, fill placement and compaction, and other geotechnical conditions exposed during
construction. The prepared fill, subgrades, and utility trenches should not be kept exposed to the
environment for more than 24 hours as this can change the moisture and density conditions.
6.2
SUITABILITY OF FILL MATERIALS AND IMPORTS
On-site native soils removed from excavation and grading or imported non-swelling soils may be utilized
within the subgrades for pavements. Materials to be used as fill shall be clean and free of deleterious
matters including large pieces (larger than three inches).
If import is needed for the construction, the materials should be evaluated by an on-site Olsson Premier
geotechnical representative before the material is brought to the site. The maximum swell potential of the
compacted (95 percent of ASTM D698 maximum dry density) import soil should be 1.5 percent as per
Dobson Road Improvements – Intel Driveways #1 and #4
Dobson Road at Chaparral Way and North of Ocotillo Road, Chandler, Arizona
Geotechnical Evaluation Report
Olsson Premier Project# 021-02916
10
ASTM D4546 with 100 pounds per square foot (psf) surcharge pressure. The import fill under pavement
layers should be compacted to 95 percent relative compaction at a moisture content within three percent of
optimum moisture content.
6.3
SUBGRADE PREPARATION
The pavement design provided in this report assumes that the upper six (6) inches of sub-base soil
(pavement subgrade) is scarified, moisture conditioned, and recompacted to proper compaction. The
asphalt concrete layers should be constructed of dense-graded mix. Base course and asphalt concrete
materials should conform to MAG or the City of Chandler requirements.
Some preventive maintenance measures should be taken to enhance the short- and long-term
performance of the pavement structures. Base course or pavement materials should not be placed when
the underlying surface is wet. Surface drainage should be provided to keep the storm water away from the
pavement areas and minimize water intrusion into the pavement subgrade. Aggregate base course layers
should not be allowed to extend to planter areas.
Pavement subgrade should be free of organics, debris, oversize materials, and any other deleterious
matters. Subgrade should be firm and clean. If pavement subgrade is found to be disturbed or fill materials
are to be utilized under pavements, the subgrade native soils should be scarified to a minimum eight inches
depth or depth of disturbance, whichever is greater, and then moisture treated and recompacted to 95
percent relative compaction at a moisture content within three percent of the optimum moisture content.
After a rough grade has been achieved for the pavement subgrades and prior to the placement of fill
materials, the exposed subgrade should be checked for the presence of unsuitable materials (debris,
organic matter, oversize particles, etc.). Unsuitable materials should be removed from the subgrades. The
disturbed subgrade should be backfilled and compacted with engineered fill. Engineered fill should be
placed in horizontal lifts with a loose thickness not exceeding eight inches. The upper three feet of fill under
roadway areas should consist of materials free of any pieces of rock or soil particles larger than three
inches.
6.4
EARTHWORK FACTORS AND GROUND COMPACTION
Shrinkage factor is defined as the ratio of fill density to excavation (cut) density. A factor lower than unity
(one) indicates that compaction or placement density is higher than which exists on the borrow site, which
might result in importing additional materials, if the cut volume is equal to or less than the fill volume. Onsite
soil excavated from the upper five feet of subsurface is anticipated to have a shrinkage factor of up to 0.90
(10 percent shrinkage).
The ground compaction factor should be taken into consideration when constructing embankment fill
sections outside the existing roadway prism. Olsson Premier recommends a ground compaction factor of
up to 0.20 feet be used for this project site.
The earthwork factors represent an average of the materials observed with varying consistencies. Potential
bidders should consider this fact in the preparation of estimates and should review the available data to
make their own conclusions regarding excavation conditions.

6.5
UTILITY BACKFILLS
Underground conduits may be installed in this project. Pipe backfill materials can consist of soils obtained
from pipe trench excavations containing no pieces larger than eight inches; alternatively, off-site granular
import materials can be utilized. The compaction of bedding and backfill should be at least 95 percent of its
maximum dry density. However, pipes should not be stressed during compaction of materials over or
around the pipes. Handheld devices such as power tampers should be used to provide careful compaction
of the materials, especially within 12 inches above the pipe. Hard materials larger than three inches in
maximum dimensions should not be placed within six inches of the pipes.
Trench should be excavated to sufficient width and depth to provide working space at both sides of the
trench and around the installed pipes as needed for placing, joining, backfilling and compacting. The trench
bottom should be inspected for loose or deleterious materials. Unstable materials should be removed and
replaced with compacted materials.
6.6
EXCAVATION AND TRENCHING
Based on the subsurface conditions and our understanding of the project construction, Olsson Premier
believes that the construction of the proposed improvements will include grading and excavation/trenching
for the construction of the roadway section and driveways.
Commonly used traditional excavation and trenching equipment can be utilized for the site constructions.
All shallow and temporary excavation slopes in undisturbed soils at the site can be maintained as steep as
1:1 (H:V). A flatter slope such as 1.5:1 may be necessary in disturbed soil and deeper slopes. If the
excavation is expected to stay open for a long time (a few days), it is recommended that the cut slopes be
stabilized with a shotcrete, gunite, or other polymer based spray. Also, if the slope of a deep excavation is
required to be steeper than the recommended slopes, a shoring system should be utilized. All confined
excavations deeper than four (4) feet should conform to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) regulations.
6.7
PLACEMENT AND COMPACTION
Native and import fill materials should be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts using equipment and
procedures that will produce recommended moisture content and densities.
Recommended compaction and moisture content criteria for engineered fill or recompaction of onsite
materials are as follows.

The fill surface should be adequately maintained during construction in order to achieve an acceptable
compaction and interlift bonding. The surface should be sloped properly to prevent ponding and provide
drainage of runoff water. If precipitation is anticipated, it is recommended that the fill surface be made
smooth by rolling with a smooth drum roller.
6.8
QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTING
Subgrade preparation, backfill placement, and re-compaction should be observed, tested, and documented
by a qualified representative of the Olsson Premier geotechnical engineer. This representative should, at
least, observe and document the following:
• Subgrade is compacted, firm, and without deleterious objects.
• Compaction and moisture content of backfill soils meet the specifications.
• If import soils are used, the import soils shall have low swell potential. Import soils should be tested
for remolded swell test per batch or one at every 1,000 cubic yard placed, whichever is higher.
• Field density testing should be performed for engineered fill or aggregate base course materials at
a rate of one test every 500 feet per lane for the roadway.
• A quality control test report should be prepared documenting all on-site activities, test results, and
conclusions.

DISCLOSURE
This report has been prepared as an aid to the designers for the current project only. The comments,
statements, and recommendations set forth reflect the opinions of the author. The opinions are based upon
conditions at the location of the specific observations, as well as tests and data developed to satisfy the
scope of services. However, due to the inherent natural variations of the soil strata and the nature of
geotechnical exploration, it is always possible that the soil conditions between two borings may be different
from those encountered at the boring locations. Also, changes at the site by human activities or changes in
code or standards due to legislative action may affect the conclusions and recommendations. If variations

in materials are encountered or human changes are made, a geotechnical engineer should be contacted to
reevaluate the recommendations provided in this report.
Structural features built on soil and supporting subgrade are subject to risks that cannot be entirely
eliminated. Common detrimental hazards include settlement, localized concentrated drainage, hydro-
compaction, and soil expansion or collapse due to unidentified geologic or man-made conditions. A
geotechnical evaluation with limited boreholes, depths, and laboratory tests may not delineate all the
possible hazards. Therefore, the roles of design professionals and contractors, and maintenance of the site
play a critical role.
This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering principles
and practices. No warranties are intended or made. It is intended for the exclusive use of our client for
specific application to the current project and is valid for the proposed development at the issuance date of
this report. It should not be used as a bidding document. The contractors must draw their own conclusions
regarding site conditions and specific construction techniques to be used.
