the discretion of the City) at the time the Agreement Price is agreed to for Contractor to provide a definitive

other scope considerations that are evaluated using value analysis principles and have the potential to

quantity listed in the proposal is primarily for bid comparison, the amount of work required by the
Engineer may vary materially from this.
Agreement: The written agreement executed between City and Contractor, including all of the Agreement
Documents.
Agreement Documents: The documents which together form the Agreement between City and
Contractor, as identified in Article 2 of the Agreement, or are otherwise incorporated into the

under this Agreement is taking place. Contractor’s Superintendent or designee must be
present at the Site at all times any other Work under this Agreement is taking place.
Superintendent must not be replaced without written notice to City. Whenever the
Superintendent is not present at a particular part of the Work where the City or Design
Professional may desire to inform the Contractor relative to interpretation of the Drawings
and Specifications or to disapproval or rejection of materials or Work performed, the City
or Design Professional may provide such information in writing to the foreman or other
worker in charge of the particular part of the Work in reference to which the information is
given. Information so given will be as binding as if given to the Superintendent.
4.4.4
All elements of the Work must be under the direct supervision of a foreman or his
designated representative on the Site who must have the authority to take actions required
to properly carry out that particular element of the Work.
4.4.5
Working Hours. Except in connection with the safety or protection of persons or the Work
or property at the Site or adjacent thereto, and except as otherwise indicated, all Work at
the Site must be performed during regular working hours, and Contractor will not permit
overtime work or the performance of Work on Saturday, Sunday or any legal holiday without
City’s written consent given after prior written notice to City. If it will become absolutely
necessary to perform Work at night or on Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays, the City
must be informed at least 24 hours in advance of the beginning of performance of such
Work. Only such Work will be done at night as can be done satisfactorily as determined by
the City. Good lighting and all other necessary facilities for carrying out and inspecting the
Work must be provided and maintained at all points where such Work is being done.
Further, unless such non-normal work hours are performed at City’s request or required by
the Agreement Documents, Contractor must pay to City all additional costs incurred by City
by reason of such non-normal working hours. Expenses incurred by City for overtime
compensation must be reimbursed by Contractor as follows: (i) City staff at the rate set forth
in current City Fee Schedule as published on City website, (ii) Design Professional and staff
at the standard hourly rates previously negotiated with City, and (iii) all others at actual cost

construction or for safety precautions incident thereto.
4.4.7
Before starting the Work, Contractor must carefully study and compare the various
Plans, Drawings, other Agreement Documents, and Specifications relative to that portion
of the Work, as well as the information furnished by City, must take field measurements of
any existing conditions related to that portion of the Work and must observe any conditions
at the Site affecting it. The exactness of grades, elevations, dimensions, or locations given
on any Drawings, or the Work installed by other contractors, is not guaranteed by City.
4.4.8
Before ordering materials or doing Work, Contractor and each Subcontractor must verify
measurements at the Site and will be responsible for the correctness of such
measurements. No extra charge or compensation will be allowed because of differences
between actual dimensions and the dimensions indicated on the Agreement Documents,
including the Drawings.
4.4.9
Underground Facilities.
4.4.9.1
The existence and number of facilities as shown on the Plans are estimated from
information furnished by the particular utility. Contractor is responsible for field verification
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.
4.4.9.2
Contractor is responsible for all coordination with utility companies. The provisions of
Sections 105.4, 105.6, 107.11 and 109.8.1 of the MAG Uniform Standard Specifications for
Public Works Construction strictly apply and no additional compensation will be paid to
Contractor for delays due to utility work on the project.
4.4.10
Relocation of Existing Water Meters. When a service line has been extended and a line
setter installed in a meter box, City forces will re-install meter. No compression fittings will
be utilized.
4.4.11
Water Turn-On or Turn-Off.
4.4.11.1
Contractor must coordinate all water line turn-ons and turn-offs through the City.
Application must be made to the Municipal Utility Division and Contractor must pay the
established charges. The City will close existing valves, but will not guarantee a bone-dry
Shutdown.
4.4.11.2
Contractor must notify all customers affected by the turn-off not less than 48 hours in
advance. Notification must be in writing, must give the reason for the turn-off and must
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-14 of 75
give the estimated time and duration that water service will be interrupted. Contractor is
also notified that water turn-off will not be permitted on the Day before and after
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
4.4.11.3
No direct payment will be made to Contractor for turn-ons or turn-offs. Costs associated
therewith will be included in other items for which direct payment is made.
4.4.12
Tests and Inspections.
4.4.12.1
Contractor must give City timely (at a minimum, twenty-four hours) notice of readiness of
the Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals. Contractor must give timely notice
to City in advance of backfilling or otherwise covering any part of the Work so that city
representative may, if desired, observe such part of the Work before it is concealed.
Whenever Contractor varies the normal period during which Work or any portion of it is
carried on each Day, Contractor must give timely notice to City so that city representative
may, if desired, be present to observe the Work in progress. If Contractor fails to give such
timely notice, any Work done in the absence of city representative will be subject to
rejection. If Contractor gives such notice to City, but then is not ready for such inspections,
tests, approvals or observations at the time so noticed, Contractor must reimburse City for
all costs incurred by the attendance of city representatives.
4.4.12.2
If any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, code, or orders of any public body having jurisdiction
requires any Work (or part thereof) to be inspected, tested or approved, Contractor (unless
another party is specified in the Agreement Documents) must assume full responsibility
therefor, pay all costs in connection therewith and furnish City the required certificates of
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
Agreement Documents will be paid by City (unless otherwise specified).
4.4.12.3
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.
4.4.12.4
Neither observations by City, the Design Professional nor inspections, tests or approvals by
others will relieve Contractor from their obligations to perform the Work in accordance with
the Agreement Documents.
4.4.13
Uncovering Work. If any Work that is to be observed, inspected, tested or approved is
covered without written concurrence of City, it must, if requested by City be uncovered for
observation. Unless Contractor has given City timely notice of Contractor's intention to
cover such Work and City has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such

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
Agreement 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

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 Agreement Documents and a reduction in the Agreement 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 Agreement Time because of any
delay in Contractor’s performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by City or City's
rights hereunder.

with City's written instructions, either correct such defective Work, or, if it has been rejected
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-25 of 75
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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement Documents, including
appropriate reduction in the Agreement Price; or, if the acceptance occurs after final

periods set forth in this Section, or during any longer periods to the extent required by the
Agreement 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 Agreement
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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement Documents.
4.9.14
Without limiting the foregoing or anything in these General Conditions or the Agreement
to the contrary, Contractor must obtain and provide to City all warranties for any portion
of the Project offered by the manufacturer, installer or provider thereof. City and the user
of the facility will have the right to the full value and benefit of all such warranties.
Contractor must ensure all such warranties are fully transferrable to facilitate the full value
of this Section.
4.9.15
Contractor’s warranty excludes damages or defects caused by abuse, alterations to the Work
not executed by or through Contractor, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper
operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage.

Acceptance.
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-28 of 75
6.1.2
Beginning on the date of the NTP, Contractor must begin to fulfill Contractor’s obligations
under the Agreement. 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 a greement insurance, bonds, and schedules are submitted to
and accepted by the City.
6.1.3
The Agreement 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 Agreement Time.
6.1.4
Time is of the essence of this Agreement, 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 Agreement
Documents within the time periods specified herein, will constitute a material breach of this
Agreement entitling City to terminate the Agreement unless Contractor applies for and
receives an extension of time, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Agreement
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 Agreement
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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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: 7/20/22
GC-29 of 75
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
Agreement Documents and completion of the Project within the Agreement 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
Agreement Time remains the obligation of Contractor. City’s review does not relieve
Contractor from compliance with the requirements of the Agreement 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 Agreement Time, as adjusted in accordance with the Agreement Documents.
No modification to the Agreement Documents or the Agreement 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

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 Agreement
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 Agreement Time.
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.
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-30 of 75
(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.
c. Pending items and status thereof including but not limited to:
(i) Time Extension requests;

6.2.9
Critical Path Method (CPM).
6.2.9.1
Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, 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 Agreement Milestones and
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 Agreement 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
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-31 of 75
Agreement, 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
Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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
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 Agreement
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
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-32 of 75
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 Agreement 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 Agreement Documents) is
essentially and satisfactorily complete in accordance with the Agreement 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
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 Agreement 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,
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-33 of 75
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 agreements) after the date of Substantial
Completion. Failure to timely obtain Final Acceptance will be a material breach of the
Agreement.
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 Agreement Documents, law or equity.
6.6.2
Furthermore, the timely completion of the Work being of the utmost importance under
this Agreement, notwithstanding the existence of one or more disputes between the parties
concerning the scope of the Work, the Project Schedule, Agreement Time, payments or any
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 Agreement 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

SECTION 9 - CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT
9.1
FIELD ORDERS
City may authorize minor changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in the
Agreement Price or the Agreement Times, which are consistent with the overall intent of
the Agreement 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 Agreement Price or Agreement 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 Agreement 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
Agreement 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
item not provided for in the Agreement 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
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-40 of 75
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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement Documents;
c. When the City determines that a Unit Price Book Job Order associated with
a Job Order Agreement 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 Agreement, 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 Agreement 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 Agreement (including Change Orders)
will be approved in writing by the Project Manager. Once properly executed by both
parties, these modifications to the Agreement will have the same effect as if they had been
included in the original Agreement.
9.3
ACCURACY OF CHANGE ORDER PRICING INFORMATION
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-41 of 75
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 Agreement 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 Agreement Price adjustments under the
Agreement. 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 Agreement 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 Agreement
period and up to three years after final payment is made on the Agreement) 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 Agreement regarding pricing of Change Orders, an
appropriate Agreement 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
discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. Any change in the Agreement Price
or Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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.

Agreement between City and Contractor.
10.2.3
When any of the above reasons exist, City may terminate the Agreement, without prejudice
to any other rights or remedies of City, after giving Contractor and Contractors’ surety, if
any, 7 Days written notice of City’s intent to terminate the Agreement and Contractor’s
failure to 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement.
10.3
TERMINATION BY CITY FOR CONVENIENCE
City may also terminate the Agreement at any time for its convenience upon 7 Days written
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

the Project prior to the termination date. Upon any termination of the Agreement, no
further payments will be due from City to Contractor.

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
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.
17.4.3
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
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-69 of 75
especially those related to clarity, consistency, completeness and coordination of Work of
Subcontractors and Suppliers.
17.4.4.1
CM@Risk must evaluate whether: (a) the Drawings and Specifications are configured to
enable efficient construction; (b) design elements are standardized; (c) construction
efficiency
is
properly
considered
in
the
Drawings
and
Specifications;
(d)
module/preassembly design is prepared to facilitate fabrication, transport and installation;
(e) sequences of Work required by or inferable from the Drawings and Specifications are
practicable; (f) the design has taken into consideration efficiency issues concerning access
and entrance to the site, laydown and storage
of materials, staging of site facilities,
construction parking, and other similar pertinent issues; and (g) the design maintains
continued operation of the existing City systems and maintains traffic on adjacent
roadways. CM@Risk must also review the Drawings and Specifications to ensure that what
is depicted therein can be constructed as designed and must promptly inform the Project
Team of any issues.
17.4.4.2
CM@Risk must check cross-reference and complementary Drawings and sections within
the Specifications and in general evaluate whether: (a) the Drawings and Specifications
are sufficiently clear and detailed to minimize ambiguity and to reduce scope interpretation
discrepancies; (b) named materials and equipment are commercially available and are
performing well, or otherwise, in similar installations; (c) Specifications include alternatives
in the event a requirement cannot be met in the field; and (d) in its professional opinion, the
Project is likely to be subject to Differing Site Conditions.
17.4.4.3
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
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
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-70 of 75
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
Agreement 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
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
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-71 of 75
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
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.
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-72 of 75
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
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:
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-73 of 75
(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,
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
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-74 of 75
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 Agreement Price until
acceptance of ALL Pre-Construction Services and award of the final approved Construction
Services Agreement 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 receive the 25% of the Agreement 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 Agreement. 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.

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 Agreement Documents, and will be the Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement
Completion Time set forth in the Agreement Document will be considered for issues
relating to Agreement 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. Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement at or prior to the time of execution of the
Agreement. Since the Contractor presumably has no control over the events
causing the delay, he may be entitled to both Agreement 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 Agreement; 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
Agreement Submittals in accordance with the Agreement; 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
App’d 7/20/2022

Appendix 1
compensation.
B.
Excusable/Non-compensable:
These are delays over which neither the City nor the Contractor had control. Since
both parties to the Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement completion
time
are
considered
as
delays.
The
concurrent delay is considered an additional delay only to the extent it prolongs
App’d 7/20/2022
APP-4 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
the delay to the Agreement 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 only extend the Agreement 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.
As a minimum the Contractor must provide the following materials to the Engineer:
A.
As-Planned Schedule. The initial construction schedule, required by the Agreement
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 Agreement 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
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 Agreement.
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.

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.
C.
Equipment:
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.

mix, etc. Except in emergencies the Contractor will not employ such material
without the prior written approval of the Engineer.
E.
Labor:
1.
Except for Supervisory Personnel (Superintendent, Project Engineer, and
Foremen), labor wages will not be paid after the first one-half day of
claimed delay or impact. It is expected the Contractor will reassign or
layoff unneeded employees.
2.
For Foreman wages to be included, that Foreman must have been
actively employed on the project prior to the commencement of the delay
and be directly responsible for the activity being delayed.

COST REDUCTION INCENTIVE PROPOSALS
FOR DESIGN BID BUILD AGREEMENTS
The Contractor may submit to the Engineer proposals for modifying the Plans, Specifications, or
other requirements of the Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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
Agreement and under the proposed changes, including the cost of developing
and implementing the changes.
6.
The Agreement 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.

APP-12 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 2
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.
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 Agreement.
If the Contractor’s Proposal is accepted in whole or in part, the necessary Agreement
Modifications and Agreement 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
Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement prices. Agreement
prices may be adjusted by subtracting the City’s share of the accrued net savings.

Contractor on its use or on disclosure of the information will become void, and the City thereafter
will have the right to use all or any part of the Proposal without obligation or compensation of any

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 Agreement 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
App’d 7/20/2022
APP-25 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 9 – CM@Risk & JOC
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 Agreement
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.

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 Agreement
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 Agreement.
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

1.6.1
That portion of insurance and bond premiums that can be directly attributed to the
Agreement. The City will reimburse Contractor for contractually required bond at time of first
pay application for GMP and Cost-Based Agreements upon receipt of proof of payment
from the Contractor. If the Contractor completes Work for less than the Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreements. 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

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

and the three other conduits gray in color. All unused conduits will have 2500-pound
detectable mule tape installed, with detectable members spliced across junction boxes to
form a continuously detectable conduit run. All conduits will enter junction boxes using
45-degree sweeps with no less than a 36-inch radius. (unless otherwise specified).
All conduits will have a continuous 2500 lb. mule tape installed within and the ends sealed
in a NEC approved manner to keep all moisture and foreign matter out of the conduit.
Tying two sections of pull tape together is not allowed and will result in replacement by
the contractor. For all conduits that require pull tape, the pull tape shall terminate at the
end of the conduit with a minimum of two feet of coiled slack in each pull box. The mule
tape traveling through conduit that terminates in a pull box, will have its wire ends
connected to allow for a continuous locating signal to be used for the entire conduit run.
A #12 AWG copper conductor tracer wire will be installed within each conduit, or one
tracer wire will be installed externally of the conduits, but alongside the conduits within
the same bore or trench. Tracer wire must be electrically continuous. Any direct buried
copper splice of the tracer wire must meet NEC requirements for direct buried electrical
splices.
Existing underground conduit to be incorporated into a new system will be cleaned and
blown out with compressed air.
No more than one week prior to installation of cable or conductors, all new and existing
conduits in which cable or conductors are to be installed will be cleared/cleaned by pull
through a mandrel with a diameter of 90 percent of the conduit inside diameter for PVC
conduit. The conduit may be brushed or swabbed, if deemed necessary, prior to pulling
the mandrel through conduit.
Where indicated on the plans, the contractor will remove and dispose of existing cables
and/or conductors in existing conduits. Prior to their removal, all cables and/or conductors
to be removed will be identified and marked at all intermediate pull boxes. Conduits to
remain empty for future use will have a detectable mule tape installed.
Where multiple cables, conductors, mule tape, and/or new innerducts are required to be
installed in the same conduit, all the materials will be installed at the same time.
Conduit entering pull boxes will be capped with conduit end cap or plug fittings until wiring
or cabling is installed.

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,

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 77oF (25 oC), 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 77oF (25 oC) 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 77oF (25oC) will not exceed 40 percent.

FIBER OPTIC CABLE (SINGLE MODE 144)
ITEM NO. 62
UNDERGROUND FIBER OPTIC SPLICE CLOSURE
Description:
The Contractor will furnish all labor, material, and equipment necessary to install Single
Mode Fiber Optic (SMFO) communication cables in conduit as shown on the Project
Plans.
The SMFO Communication subsystem will be completed with the use of two types of
SMFO cable installations. These are (1) 144-fiber trunk or branch cables used for the
main communication system backbone, and (2) 12-fiber service cable used for connecting
the main trunk or branch cables to the field devices, as shown on the Project Plans. The
traffic service cables will be factory terminated to a “Gator Patch” patch panel or approved
equal (non-factory terminated poly-mod systems are not an approved equal product),
unless otherwise directed by the designated City Representative.
The trunkline cable will have all fibers sealed from moisture and dust particles in a new
or existing splice enclosure in No. 9 splice vaults, or as directed by the designated City
Representative.
The Contractor will furnish all labor, material, and equipment necessary to install fiber
optic splice closures at locations shown in the Project Plans or approved splicing
diagrams, and at the cut end of a cable run, or as directed by the designated City
Representative. These splice closures will be used to house and protect the splices.
Due to the ever-changing nature of the City fiber network, the approved fiber splicing
diagrams will be provided by the City only after the fiber conduit infrastructure installation
has passed inspection and prior to the fiber optic cable installation. Should a discrepancy
exist between the Project Plans and the approved fiber splicing diagrams in regard to
splice locations, the fiber splicing diagrams take priority, unless otherwise directed by the
designated City Representative.
Materials:
General Requirements:
(A)
Documentation:
The Contractor will provide certification that the cables furnished and installed are
in conformance with the appropriate specifications. This certification will be in two
parts:
(1) The Contractor will secure a certification from the cable manufacturer that the
cable is in conformance with the Rural Electrification Administration (REA)
Bulletin 1753F-601 (where applicable) and these Technical Specifications.
(2) The Contractor will certify that the installation of the communication cable

subsystem is in accordance with the cable and splice manufacturer's
recommendations and these Technical Specifications.
(B)
Warranty:
Each item of the communication cable subsystem will be warranted by the
Contractor against all defects in material and workmanship in accordance with
Subsection 106.13 of the ADOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge
Construction.
(C)
Technical Requirements:
The 144 fiber SMFO will be a continuous cable of sufficient length to permit the
associated runs shown on the Project Plans to be made without full cable splices
between specified splice locations. Full cable splices will be submitted to City
Representatives for approval. The cable will be wound on the reel in such a manner
as to provide access to both ends of the cable to enable testing to be performed
while the cable is on the reel. Fiber optic cable cuts, splices or cable sheath cuts
must only be created as indicated on splicing diagrams, unless otherwise directed
by the designated City Representative. If the Contractor violates these cut
requirements, the entire length of cable from the previous splice point will be
removed from the project and a new cable will be pulled at no additional cost to
the project. The City will provide the approved fiber cable diagrams for those splice
locations along with the approved splicing diagrams for those locations.
Where cable is pulled through an intermediate pull box, the Contractor will ensure
that the cable is protected from sharp edges and excessive bends. The Contractor
will not cause the cable to violate the minimum bending radius for which the cable
was designed. If the Contractor violates the bending radius, the entire length of
cable from the previous splice point will be removed from the project and a new
cable will be pulled at no additional cost to the project.
Cables will be pulled in the conduit with a split mesh cable grip designed to provide
a firm hold on the exterior covering of the cable. Cable will not drag on the ground
or pavement during installation. The Contractor will ensure that the tensile load on
the cable does not exceed the allowed maximum by using a system that includes
a means of alerting the installer when the pulling tension approaches the limit and
displays the actual tension on the cable. The Contractor may supplement this
procedure with a breakaway tension limiter set below the recommended tensile
limit of the cable being pulled.
During pulling, the cable will be lubricated at each pull box. The Contractor will use
a pre-lubrication or continuous lubrication method. The lubricant used will be
compatible with the cable jacket as recommended by the cable manufacturer.
Liquid detergent will not be used. The Contractor will supply documentation
identifying either the manufacturer recommendation or a published standard
recommending the maximum pulling tension and speeds and these values will not
be exceeded. The Contractor will have this documentation on site during each pull.

If the Contractor fails to continuously lubricate the cable, the work will be stopped
until the terms of this specification are being met to the satisfaction of City
Representatives. No compensation for the work stoppage will be given.
Where cables are to be installed in conduit with existing cables or wires that will
remain, the Contractor will not damage the existing cables or wires. The Contractor
will disconnect, remove, reinstall, and reconnect the existing cables and wires as
necessary to facilitate the installation of the new cable, only after prior authorization
of the designated City Representative, as critical data is often transmitted over
these cables. Prior notification of a minimum of two weeks in advance will be
necessary. The Contractor will be responsible for any damage to the existing
cables or wires caused by this operation. New and existing conductors will be
terminated and labeling reconciled. No additional payment will be made as this
work will be considered incidental to the associated items. A police officer will be
required if the traffic signal is turned off to pull wire.
Cable will not be installed in any conduit until the associated pull boxes are
installed prior to cable installation.

(E) Splice Closure:
Fiber optic splice closures will be either shell design or cylindrical, butt-end style
corrosion resistant, watertight, and meet the requirements of GR-771-CORE.
Underground splice closures will seal, bond, anchor, and provide efficient routing,
storage, organization, and protection for fiber optic cable and splices. The splice
closure will provide an internal configuration and end cap with a minimum of two
express ports for entry and exit of backbone cable and a minimum of three
additional ports for additional fiber cables.
Splice closures will be designed to accommodate heat-shrink fusion splice trays in
sufficient quantities to perform the required number of splices. At a minimum, the
splice closure will accommodate 144 splices. Each splice closure will be supplied
with at least one spare heat shrink fusion splice tray and the hardware to terminate
at least one additional 12-fiber service cable.
Splice closures will have a reliable dual seal design with both the cable jackets and
core tubes sealed, without the use of water-blocking material. The splice closures
will be capable of being opened and completely resealed without loss of
performance. Splice closures will be of a type that allows for existing fiber cables
to be removed without having to cut the fibers to allow for future replacement of
the splice enclosure without a loss of service.
The splice closure minimum dimensions will be at least 29 inches long by 11 inches
wide, unless otherwise directed by the designated City Representative.
Construction Requirements:
(A) Installation Procedure:
Fiber optic cable installation will be allowed to begin only after the fiber conduit
infrastructure installation has passed inspection and the approved fiber splicing
diagrams have been provided to the Contractor by the designated City
Representative.
Each City of Chandler No. 9 pull box will have 100 feet of slack cable and 50 feet
of slack cable in a No. 7E pull box loosely looped.
All fiber optic cable will be pulled in innerduct except as specified on the Project
Plans. Care will be exercised during cable pulls through conduit bends, poles and
cabinets, and looping in junction boxes. In the event the minimum fiber optic radius
cannot be maintained during the installation, the Contractor will submit alternative
resolutions to City Representatives for review.
To reduce the possibility of damage to the outer jacket of the fiber optic cable,
City of Chandler

protective measures will be used when the cable is installed. The requirements,
herein, will be followed but do not limit the installation to only those identified. The
purpose of the installation specifications is to ensure protection of the fiber optic
cable when it is installed. Other protective measures, not specified herein, may be
taken during installation if it will ensure protection of the cable.
Repair of cable jacket will not be permitted. Jacket damage will require a new cable
run.
A cable feeder guide will be used between the cable reel and the face of the duct
and conduit to protect the cable and guide it off the reel and into the duct. The
cable will be carefully inspected for jacket defects as it is removed from the reel. If
defects are noticed, the pulling operation will be stopped immediately and City
Representatives notified.
Precautions will be taken during installation to prevent the cable from being kinked
or crushed.
A pulling eye will be attached to the cable end and be used to pull the cable through
the duct and conduit system.
As the cable is pulled off the reel and into the cable feeder guide, it will be
sufficiently lubricated with a lubricant that will be of the water-based type and
approved by the cable manufacturer.
Dynamometers or break away pulling swings will be used to ensure the pulling-line
tension does not exceed the installation tension values specified by the cable
manufacturer. The mechanical stress placed upon the cable during installation will
not be such that the cable is twisted and stretched.
The pulling of the cable will be hand-assisted at each pull box or splice vault. The
cable will not be crushed, kinked or forced around sharp corners.
At each pull box and at each cabinet the cable will be visibly marked as follows:
“CAUTION - FIBER OPTIC CABLE”
The markings will be affixed with nylon ties and will be a warning label that will
never fade or rub off.
The length of cable being pulled will not exceed the maximum cable tension as
specified by the cable manufacturer.
The supplier of the fiber optic cable will provide assistance and/or supervision in
the installation process unless the installing company meets the requirements of
the supplier.
Where applicable each cable should be labeled and attached to the cable racks
with Ty-Raps immediately upon entering the box. Cables should be looped
independently of one another. Ty-Raps will contain the cable loops of one cable.
City of Chandler
Traffic Signal at
Project No. DS2202.401
Layton Lakes Blvd and Queen Creek Rd
Technical Specifications
Final Submittal / Sept 2024
63
Ty-Raps should be tightened so that they prevent cable slippage but do not deform
or damage the cable sheath. Ty-Raps will be used as necessary to neatly and
independently rack the cables.
Splicing of the SMFO cable will be done only at splice vaults as shown on the
Project Plans or approved fiber splicing diagrams by fusion splicing technique.
Should a discrepancy exist between the Project Plans and the approved fiber
splicing diagrams in regard to splice locations, the approved fiber splicing diagrams
take priority, unless otherwise directed by the designated City Representative. The
City will provide fiber cable diagrams for those splice locations along with the
approved splicing diagrams for those locations. All splices and connectors will be
prepared in accordance with the cable manufacturer's, splice manufacturer's, or
connector manufacturer’s recommendations. Splices will introduce less than 0.2
dB attenuation and connectors will introduce less than 0.5 dB attenuation.
Contractor will submit to City Representatives, all full cable splice locations for
approval.
Cable Marking:
The completed (trunk, branch and service) cables will have sequential length
markers in a contrasting color to the cable jacket, at regular intervals of three (3’)
feet, (in English units) along the outside of the jacket. Printed on the jacket will be
the cable code to identify the number and type of fibers, the manufacturer’s name,
manufacture’s part number, the year of manufacture and the sequential length
markings. The marking will be readable and proportionate in height to the cable
and must be permanent and weatherproof.
(B) Splicing:
At the locations shown in the Project Plans or in the fiber splicing diagrams, the
Contractor will perform all required fusion splicing. Should a discrepancy exist
between the Project Plans and the fiber splicing diagrams in regard to splice
locations, the approved fiber splicing diagrams take priority, unless otherwise
directed by the designated City Representative. The Contractor will install the
splice closure in a manner proposed to and approved by the designated City
Representative, such that the trunk cable entries are on the same side of the end
cap so if additional fiber optic cables are installed at a later date, the two existing
seals remain undisturbed.
All
splices
will
be
prepared
in
accordance
with
the
manufacturer’s
recommendations. Each splice between two new fibers will introduce less than 0.1
dB attenuation. For splices between one new and one existing, or reconnection of
two existing fibers, the maximum allowable attenuation will be 0.3 dB.

Bidder
must
acknowledge
the
receipt
of
this
addendum
on
the
Proposal
Acknowledgement page of the BID SUBMITTAL. This addendum, containing 5 pages, is
hereby incorporated into the Construction Agreement by this reference.
2.
Question: Currently the solicitation and bidding documents state the project must be
completed within (120) consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Can the
City increase the Contract time to account for long lead materials. Currently traffic signal
poles are being quoted 18 to 22 weeks after release of materials. This does not included
time released to the material submittal process.
Response: The city is open to issuing a limited notice to proceed (NTP) to procure long-
lead items. The contract duration will not commence until the official NTP is issued.
3.
Question: The advertisement states that this project must be completed within 120
calendar days, however, the lead time on meter pedestals and signal poles will be well
over that. Right now meter pedestals are taking up to 40 weeks after approved
submittals and signal poles are 4 weeks to get shop drawings + 2 weeks for submittal
approvals + 22-26 weeks for pole fabrication and delivery. The duration to receive
materials is up to 280 calendar days and then the contractor needs 6-8 weeks to build the
job. That 6-8 week duration does not include the time frame for SRP’s crews to heat up
the meter pedestal. With all of that considered, will the City issue a delayed NTP after
award to account for the material lead times?
Response: The city is open to issuing a limited notice to proceed (NTP) to procure long-
lead items. The contract duration will not commence until the official NTP is issued.
4.
Question: The current bid schedule shows Item 66 - SRP Design & Construction Cost (1)
LS. There does not appear to be an item scope in the Technical Specifications or SRP plan
sheets included in the project plans. Please clarify what is required for this item.
Response: The SRP plans have been attached to this addendum – See Exhibit A. (3
