the Contract Documents and the physical condition of the locality, or any
errors or omissions in the Contract Documents, or in the layout as given by
points and instructions, it shall be his duty to inform the Engineer in writing,
and the Engineer will promptly verify the same in writing.

Contract modified in writing accordingly. Such modifications are subject to
approval by the Board, in accordance with Public Contract Code §20206.2

Contract Change Order which has not been executed, the Contractor shall
submit a written protest to the Engineer within ten (10) days after the receipt
of such Contract Change Order. The protest shall state the points of
disagreement, and, if possible, the quantities and cost involved. If a written
protest is not submitted, payment will be made as provided in the Contract
Change Order and such payment will constitute full compensation for all
work included therein or required thereby. Such unprotested Contract
Change Orders will be considered as executed Contract Change Orders.
Contractor's disagreement with any Change Order does not relieve the
Contractor from performance of the work, including extra work, promptly and
expeditiously.
G. Where the protest concerning a Contract Change Order relates to
compensation, the compensation payable for all work specified or required
by said Contract Change Order to which such protest relates will be
determined in the same manner as provided in Part 2.10 for claims for extra
work. The contractor shall keep full and complete records of the cost of
such work and shall permit the Engineer to have such access thereto as
may be necessary to assist in the determination of the compensation
payable for such work.
H. Where the protest concerning a Contract Change Order relates to the
adjustment of time and the completion of the work, the time to be allowed
therefore will be determined as provided in this Section.
I. The consent of the Contractor's sureties shall not be required as to any
change or extra work, and the liability of the Contractor's Bonds shall be
increased or decreased accordingly without notice to the sureties.
2.10 EXTRA WORK
A. If, during the performance of the Contract, it shall, in the opinion of the
District or the Engineer, become necessary or desirable for the proper
completion of the Contract to order work done or materials or equipment
furnished which in the opinion of the Engineer are not susceptible of
classification under the unit-price items in the Bidding Schedule and are not
included in any item for which a lump sum is bid, the Contractor shall do and
perform such work and furnish such materials and equipment. Such labor,
materials and/or equipment will be classed as extra work, and shall be
ordered in writing before such work is started. No extra work will be paid for
unless ordered in writing. Extra work and materials will ordinarily be paid for
at a lump sum or unit-price agreed on in writing by the Engineer and
Contractor prior to the time when the Engineer ordered the extra work to be
done. The performance of any extra work or the furnishing of extra material
which, in the judgment of the Engineer, is of like character to and
susceptible of classification under the unit-price items of the Contract as
MARCH 2026 SECTION 00 72 00
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER GENERAL CONDITIONS
REHABILITATION PROJECT 5
specified shall, if the order of the Engineer shall so provide, be paid for at
the unit-price named for such work in the Bidding Schedule. Whenever, in
the judgment of the Engineer, such extra work or such extra material as the
case may be, is not of like character to and susceptible of classification
under the unit-price items of the Contract as specified, and it is impracticable
because of the nature of the work, or for any other reason, to fix the price
before order for the extra work shall be issued, the Contractor shall be
entitled to be paid the sum of the following costs for doing the extra work,
which shall be known as the cost plus basis of payment:
1. Direct Labor Cost - Charges for all of the labor furnished and used by
the Contractor shall be as identified in the California Prevailing Wage
Determination. Under no circumstances shall the Contractor be
allowed to pay for labor, any amount that is less than the California
prevailing Wage Determination. The Contractor shall be allowed to
add to actual wages paid the labor surcharge set forth in the
California Department of Transportation publication entitled Labor
Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates, which is in effect on the date
upon which the work is performed. The surcharge shall constitute full
compensation for all payments imposed by State and Federal laws and
for all other payments made to, or on behalf of, the workers, other than
actual wages as defined in Section 9-1.04B1 of the California
Department of Transportation Standard Specifications.
2. Equipment Cost - Charges for the rental and operation of the
equipment furnished and used by the Contractor shall be made for all
prime construction and automotive equipment. It shall not include
charges for listed equipment or major tools with a new cost of$500.00
or less. Equipment time charges shall be subject to the daily approval
of the Engineer and evidence of such daily approval submitted with the
billing. The equipment rental and operation rates used shall be at the
established CalTrans rental rates. No time or charges will be allowed
except when equipment is actually being used for the proper and
efficient performance or completion of the extra work as authorized. A
fifteen percent (15%) markup to the equipment rental and operation
rates will be allowed.
3. Material Costs - Charges for the cost of materials furnished by the
Contractor shall be made provided such furnishing was specifically
authorized in the extra work order and the actual use verified by the
Engineer. Charges shall be net cost to the Contractor delivered at the
job, including all applicable sales taxes and vendor's invoice must
accompany the billing along with verification of use of such materials
by the Engineer. A fifteen percent (15%) markup to the materials cost
will be allowed.
4. Tools, Supplies, Supervision, Overhead and Profit - A charge for major
tools, supplies, home office overhead, field overhead, labor liability
insurance, additional bond costs, other fixed or administrative costs
that are not costs of labor used in the direct performance of the work,
supervision, and profit will be allowed in the amount of thirty five
percent (35%) of the total direct labor costs as defined above.
5. Work by Subcontractor- When all or any part of extra work is
performed by any of the Contractor's Subcontractors, the markups for
MARCH 2026 SECTION 00 72 00
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER GENERAL CONDITIONS
REHABILITATION PROJECT 6
tools, supplies, additional bond costs, supervision, overhead and profit
applied to the Subcontractor's actual cost of such work (determined as
above) will be allowed in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the total
direct labor costs, equipment costs and material costs, as defined
above, to which a markup of five percent (5%) on the subcontracted
portion of the extra work may be added by the Contractor.
B. The Contractor agrees that he shall not be entitled to claim damages for
anticipated profits on any portion of work that may be deleted. The amount
of any adjustment for work deleted shall be estimated at the time deletion of
work is ordered and the estimated adjustment will be deducted from the
Contract amount by Contract Change Order.
C. The District reserves the right to contract with any person or firm other than
the Contractor for any or all extra work.
2.11 CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COSTS
A. The Contractor shall not be entitled to the payment of any additional
compensation for any cause, including any act, or failure to act, by the
Engineer, or the happening of any event, thing, or occurrence, unless he
shall have given the Engineer written notice of claims specified in Part 2.20
below, provided, however, that compliance with this section shall not be a
prerequisite as to matters within the scope of the protest provisions in
Part 2.09.
B. Contractor shall not reserve a right to assert impact costs, extended job site
costs, extended overhead, constructive acceleration and/or actual
acceleration beyond what is stated in the change order for work. No claims
shall be allowed of impact, extended overhead costs, constructive
acceleration and/or actual acceleration due to a multiplicity of changes
and/or clarifications. The Contractor may not change or modify the District's
change order form in an attempt to reserve additional rights.
C. The District's liability to Contractor for delays for which the District is
responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays
were unreasonable under the circumstances. In no case shall the District be
liable for any costs which are borne by the Contractor in the regular course
of business, including, but not limited to, home office overhead and other
ongoing costs. Damages caused by unreasonable District delay, including
delays caused by items that are the responsibility of the District pursuant to
Government Code section 4215, shall be based on actual costs only, no
proportions or formulas shall be used to calculate any delay damages. In the
event of an emergency endangering life or property, the Contractor shall act
as stated in Section 01 35 00, Special Procedures, Part 2.01, and after
execution of the emergency work shall present an accounting of labor,
materials, and equipment. The procedure for any payment that may be due
for emergency work will be as specified in Part 2.09 above.

REHABILITATION PROJECT 7
2.12 CHANGES IN CHARACTER OF WORK
A. If an ordered change in the Contract Documents materially changes the
character of the work of a Contract item from that upon which the Contractor
based its Bid price, and if the change increases or decreases the actual unit
costs of such changed item as compared to the actual or estimated unit cost
of performing the work of said item in accordance with the Contract
Documents originally applicable thereto, in the absence of an executed
Contract Change Order specifying the compensation payable, an adjustment
in compensation therefore will be made in accordance with the following:
1. The basis of such adjustment in compensation will be the difference
between the Contract unit-price to perform the work of said item or
portion thereof involved in the change as originally planned and the
actual unit cost of performing the work of said item or portion thereof
involved in the change, as changed. Actual unit costs will be as agreed
upon by the Contractor and the Engineer. If they cannot agree or if
there is no unit price for the subject work, then the costs of the work will
be determined by the Engineer in the same manner as if the work were
to be paid for on the cost plus basis as provided in Part 2.10. Any such
adjustment will apply only to the portion of the work of said item
actually changed in character.
2. Failure of the Engineer to recognize the change in character of the
work at the time the Contract Change Order is issued shall not be
construed as relieving the Contractor of its duties and responsibility of
filing a written protest within the ten (10) day limit as hereinabove
provided.
2.13 RIGHT TO WITHHOLD PAYMENTS
A. In addition to all other rights and remedies of the District hereunder and by
virtue of the law, the District may withhold or nullify the whole or any part of
any partial or final payment to such extent as may reasonably be necessary
to protect the District from loss on account of:
1. Stop Notice Claims
2. Defective work not remedied, irrespective of when any such work was
found to be defective;
3. Claims or liens filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of
claims or liens including, but not limited to claims under Sections 1775,
1776, or 1777.7 of the Labor Code;
4. Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly for labor,
materials, equipment, or other facilities, or to subcontractors and/or
suppliers;
5. A reasonable doubt that the work can be completed for the balance
then unearned;
6. A reasonable doubt that the Contractor will complete the work within
the agreed time limits;
7. Liquidated Damages;
8. Costs to the District resulting from failure of the Contractor to complete
the work within the proper time, liquidated and identified in Section 01
35 00, Part 2.06;
9. Damage to the District, work or property;
MARCH 2026 SECTION 00 72 00

REHABILITATION PROJECT 8
10. Damage to another contractor or third party;
11. Persistent failure to carry out the work in accordance with the Contract
Documents;
12. Site clean-up;
13. Failure of Contractor to keep the project schedule and/or record ("as-
built") drawings up to date;
14. Legally permitted penalties, including governmental and regulatory
fines incurred by the District as a result of delays resulting from
Contractor's performance of the work as set forth in Section 01 35 00,
Part 2.06; and
15. Damages and costs incurred by the District as a result of Contractor's
performance of the work, including, but not limited to, legal,
engineering, inspection, superintendence, regulatory fines, and other
expenses.
B. Whenever the District shall, in accordance herewith, withhold any monies
otherwise due the Contractor, written notice of the amount withheld and the
reasons therefore will be given the Contractor. After the Contractor has
corrected the enumerated deficiencies, the District will promptly pay to the
Contractor the amount so withheld. When monies are withheld to protect
the District against claims or liens of mechanics, materialmen,
Subcontractors, etc., the District may at its discretion permit the Contractor
to deliver a surety bond in terms and amount satisfactory to the District,
indemnifying the District against any loss or expense, and upon acceptance
thereof by the District, the District shall release to the Contractor monies so
withheld. The surety providing the stop notice bond shall be a separate legal
entity from the surety on the performance and/or payment bonds provided
for the Project.
C. If insufficient funds have been withheld, Contractor shall promptly reimburse
the District for any of the items set forth above that occur.
2.14 SECURITIES FOR MONEY WITHHELD
A. Pursuant to section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of
California, Contractor may request the District to make retention payments
directly to an escrow agent or may substitute securities for any money
withheld by the District to ensure performance under the contract. At the
request and expense of Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount
withheld shall be deposited with the District or with a state or federally
chartered bank as the escrow agent who shall return such securities to
Contractor upon satisfactory completion of the contract. Deposit of
securities with an escrow agent shall be subject to a written agreement
substantially in the form provided in section 22300 of the Public Contract
Code.
2.15 GUARANTEE
A. In addition to warranties, representations and guarantees stated in the
Contract Documents, the Contractor unconditionally guarantees all materials
and workmanship furnished hereunder, and agrees to replace at his sole
MARCH 2026 SECTION 00 72 00

REHABILITATION PROJECT 9
cost and expense, and to the satisfaction of the Engineer and the District,
any and all materials and/or equipment which may be defective or
improperly installed.
B. The Contractor shall repair or replace to the satisfaction of the Engineer any
or all such work that may prove defective in workmanship or materials,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, together with any other work which may be
damaged or displaced in so doing.
C. All work or materials which have been rejected shall be remedied, or
removed and replaced by the Contractor in an acceptable manner and no
additional compensation will be allowed for such removal, replacement, or
remedial work.
D. Any work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the Plans or
established by the Engineer or any extra work done without written authority
will be considered as unauthorized work and will not be paid. Upon order of
the Engineer, unauthorized work shall be remedied, removed, or replaced at
the Contractor's expense.
E. Upon failure of the Contractor to comply with any order of the Engineer, the
District may cause rejected or unauthorized work to be remedied, removed
or replaced, and may deduct the costs from any monies due or to become
due the Contractor in the form of a Change Order.
F. If deemed necessary by the District to maintain uninterrupted operation of
District facilities while the defective or improperly installed materials and/or
equipment is repaired or replaced, the Contractor shall provide temporary
replacement materials and/or equipment at no additional cost to the District.
G. The Contractor must commence warranty repairs within ten (10) days after
receiving written notice from the District. In the event of failure to complete
such repairs within a reasonable time, the District is authorized to have the
defect repaired and corrected at the expense of the Contractor who will pay
the costs and charges therefor immediately upon demand, including any
reasonable management and administrative costs, engineering, legal and
other consultant fees incurred to enforce this section.
H. If the Engineer deems it inexpedient for the Contractor to correct work
damaged or not done in accordance with the Contract, an equitable
deduction from the Contract price shall be made therefore, and such sum
may be withheld by District from Contractor's payment.
I. The Contractor must obtain and enforce on the District's behalf all
warranties, express or implied, from subcontractors, manufacturers, or
suppliers for work and materials provided under the Contract.
J. The signing of the Contract by the Contractor shall constitute execution of
the above guarantees. Except as otherwise provided in this Contract, the
guarantees and warranties shall remain in effect through the one-year
maintenance warranty period without any expense to the District, ordinary
wear and tear and unusual abuse and neglect excepted.

K. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the rights and remedies available
to the District at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, Code of Civil
Procedure section 337.15.
2.16 FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND PAYMENT
A. The acceptance of the Work on behalf of the District will be made by the
Engineer. Such acceptance by the District shall not constitute a waiver of
defects. When the Work has been accepted there shall be paid to
Contractor a sum equal to the contract price less any amounts previously
paid Contractor and less any amounts withheld by the District from
Contractor under the terms of the contract. The final five percent (5%), or
the percentage specified in the notice inviting bids where the District has
adopted a finding of substantially complete, shall not become due and
payable until five (5) calendar days shall have elapsed after the expiration of
the period within which all claims may be filed under the provisions of Civil
Code section 9356. If the Contractor has placed securities with the District
as described herein, the Contractor shall be paid a sum equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the contract price less any amounts due the
District under the terms of the Contract.
B. Unless Contractor advises the District in writing prior to acceptance of the
final five percent (5%) or the percentage specified in the notice inviting bids
where the District has adopted a finding of substantially complete, or the
return of securities held as described herein, said acceptance shall operate
as a release to the District of all claims and all liability to Contractor for all
things done or furnished in connection with this work and for every act of
negligence of the District and for all other claims relating to or arising out of
this work. If Contractor advises the District in writing prior to acceptance of
final payment or return of the securities that there is a dispute regarding the
amount due the Contractor, the District may pay the undisputed amount
contingent upon the Contractor furnishing a release of all undisputed claims
against the District with the disputed claims in stated amounts being
specifically excluded by Contractor from the operation of the release. No
payments, however, final or otherwise, shall operate to release Contractor or
its sureties from the Faithful Performance Bond, Labor and Material
Payment Bond, or from any other obligation under this contract.
C. In case of suspension of the contract any unpaid balance shall be and
become the sole and absolute property of the District to the extent
necessary to repay the District any excess in the cost of the Work above the
contract price.
D. Final payment shall be made no later than 60 days after the date of
acceptance of the Work by the District or the date of occupation, beneficial
use and enjoyment of the Work by the District including any operation only
for testing, start-up or commissioning accompanied by cessation of labor on
the Work, provided that a release of liens and claims has been received
from the Contractor pursuant to Civil Code section 8136. In the event of a
dispute between the District and the Contractor, the District may withhold
MARCH 2026 SECTION 00 72 00
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER GENERAL CONDITIONS
REHABILITATION PROJECT 11
from the final payment an amount not to exceed 150% of the disputed
amount.
E. Within ten (10) calendar days from the time that all or any portion of the
retention proceeds are received by Contractor, Contractor shall pay each of
its subcontractors from whom retention has been withheld each
subcontractor's share of the retention received. However, if a retention
payment received by Contractor is specifically designated for a particular
subcontractor, payment of the retention shall be made to the designated
subcontractor if the payment is consistent with the terms of the subcontract.
2.17 OCCUPANCY
A. The District reserves the right to occupy or utilize any portion of the Work at
any time before completion, and such occupancy or use shall not constitute
acceptance of any part of Work covered by this Contract. This use shall not
relieve the Contractor of its responsibilities under the Contract.
2.18 INDEMNIFICATION
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend
(with counsel of the District's choosing), indemnify and hold harmless the
District, officials, officers, agents, employees, and representatives, and each
of them from and against:
1. Any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses,
injuries, losses or liabilities, in law or in equity, of every kind or nature
whatsoever, but not limited to, injury to or death, including wrongful
death, of any person, and damages to or destruction of property of any
person, arising out of, related to, or in any manner directly or indirectly
connected with the Work or this Contract, including claims made by
subcontractors for nonpayment, including without limitation the
payment of all consequential damages and attorney's fees and other
related costs and expenses, however caused, regardless of whether
the allegations are false, fraudulent, or groundless, and regardless of
any negligence of the District or its officers, employees, or authorized
volunteers (including passive negligence), except the sole negligence
or willful misconduct or active negligence of the District or its officials,
officers, employees, or authorized volunteers.
2. Contractor's defense and indemnity obligation herein includes, but is
not limited to damages, fines, penalties, attorney's fees and costs
arising from claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or
other federal or state disability access or discrimination laws arising
from Contractor's Work during the course of construction of the
improvements or after the Work is complete, as the result of defects or
negligence in Contractor's construction of the improvements.
3. Any and all actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, fines,
penalties or liabilities, in law or equity, of every kind or nature
whatsoever, arising out of, resulting from, or on account of the violation

of any governmental law or regulation, compliance with which is the
responsibility of Contractor.

Work itself), attorney's fees, and other costs, including all costs of
defense which any of them may incur with respect to the failure,
neglect, or refusal of Contractor to faithfully perform the Work and all of
Contractor's obligations under the agreement. Such costs, expenses,
and damages shall include all costs, including attorney's fees, incurred
by the indemnified parties in any lawsuit to which they are a party.
B. Contractor shall immediately defend, at Contractor's own cost, expense and
risk, any and all such aforesaid suits, actions or other legal proceedings of
every kind that may be brought or instituted against the District, its officials,
officers, agents, employees and representatives. Contractor shall pay and
satisfy any judgment, award or decree that may be rendered against the
District, its officials, officers, employees, agents, employees and
representatives, in any such suit, action or other legal proceeding.
Contractor shall reimburse the District, its officials, officers, agents,
employees and representatives for any and all legal expenses and costs
incurred by each of them in connection therewith or in enforcing the
indemnity herein provided. The only limitations on this provision shall be
those imposed by Civil Code section 2782.
2.19 NO PERSONAL LIABILITY
A. Neither the District, the Engineer, nor any of their other officers, agents, or
employees shall be personally responsible for any liability arising under the
Contract, except such obligations as are specifically set forth herein..
2.20 DISPUTES
A. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents, the
Engineer will initially decide all disputes arising under and by virtue of the
Contract. A dispute will be processed and decided by the Engineer as soon
as practicable after its submission and the submission or availability of any
additional information necessary to its decision. If the Contractor is
dissatisfied with the Engineer's decision, the Contractor may, within fifteen
(15) days from the date of the Engineer's decision, file a claim following the
procedures in Part 2.19 of this Section. If the Contractor fails to follow the
procedures in Part 2.19 of this Section within the fifteen (15) day period,
then the Engineer's decision shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the
Contractor.
2.21 PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES
A. Contractor shall timely comply with all notices and requests for changes to
the Contract Time or Contract Price, including but not limited to all
requirements of this Section, Changes and Extra Work, as a prerequisite to
filing any claim governed by this Article. The failure to timely submit a notice
of delay or notice of change, or to timely request a change to the Contract
Price or Contract Time, or to timely provide any other notice or request
MARCH 2026 SECTION 00 72 00
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER GENERAL CONDITIONS
REHABILITATION PROJECT 13
required herein shall constitute a waiver of the right to further pursue the
claim under the Contract or at law.
B. Intent. Effective January 1, 1991, Section 20104 et seq., of the California
Public Contract Code prescribes a process utilizing informal conferences,
non-binding judicial supervised mediation, and judicial arbitration to resolve
disputes on construction claims of$375,000 or less. Effective January 1,
2017, Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code prescribes a process for
negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims. The
intent of this Article is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section
9204 of the California Public Contract Code. This Article shall be construed
to be consistent with said statutes.
C. Claims. For purposes of this Article, "Claim" means a separate demand by
the Contractor, after a change order duly requested in accordance with
Article 44 "Changes and Extra Work" has been denied by the District, for (A)
a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from Work done
by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the Contract, or (C) an amount
the payment of which is disputed by the District. Claims governed by this
Article may not be filed unless and until the Contractor completes all
procedures for giving notice of delay or change and for the requesting of a
time extension or change order, including but not necessarily limited to the
procedures contained in Article 44, Changes and Extra Work, and
Contractor's request for a change has been denied in whole or in part.
Claims governed by this Article must be filed no later than the date of final
payment. The claim shall be submitted in writing to the District and shall
include on its first page the following in 16 point capital font: "THIS IS A
CLAIM." Furthermore, the claim shall include the documents necessary to
substantiate the claim. Nothing herein is intended to extend the time limit or
supersede notice requirements otherwise provided by contract for the filing
of claims, including all requirements pertaining to compensation or payment
for extra Work, disputed Work, and/or changed conditions. Failure to follow
such contractual requirements shall bar any claims or subsequent lawsuits
for compensation or payment thereon.
D. Supporting Documentation. The Contractor shall submit all claims in the
following format:
1. Summary of claim merit and price, reference Contract Document
provisions pursuant to which the claim is made
2. List of documents relating to claim:

c. Clarifications (Requests for Information)
d. Schedules
e. Other
3. Chronology of events and correspondence
4. Analysis of claim merit
5. Analysis of claim cost

7. If Contractor's claim is based in whole or in part on an allegation of
errors or omissions in the Drawings or Specifications for the Project,
MARCH 2026 SECTION 00 72 00
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER GENERAL CONDITIONS
REHABILITATION PROJECT 14
Contractor shall provide a summary of the percentage of the claim
subject to design errors or omissions and shall obtain a certificate of
merit in support of the claim of design errors and omissions.
E. District's Response. Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this Article, District
shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to
exceed 45 Days, shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying
what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Any
payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim will be processed and
made within 60 Days after the District issues its written statement.
1. If the District needs approval from its governing body to provide the
Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the
undisputed portion of the claim, and the District's governing body does
not meet within the 45 Days or within the mutually agreed to extension
of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified
mail, return receipt requested, the District shall have up to three Days
following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the District's
governing body after the 45-Day period, or extension, expires to
provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed
portion and the undisputed portion.
2. Within 30 Days of receipt of a claim, the District may request in writing
additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses
or claims the District may have against the Contractor. If additional
information is thereafter required, it shall be requested and provided
pursuant to this subdivision, upon mutual agreement of District and the
Contractor. The District's written response to the claim, as further
documented, shall be submitted to the Contractor within 30 Days (if the
claim is less than $15,000, within 15 Days) after receipt of the further
documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by
the Contractor in producing the additional information or requested
documentation, whichever is greater.
F. Meet and Confer. If the Contractor disputes the District's written response,
or the District fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may
so notify the District, in writing, either within 15 Days of receipt of the
District's response or within 15 Days of the District's failure to respond within
the time prescribed, respectively, and demand in writing an informal
conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon
receipt of a demand, the District shall schedule a meet and confer
conference within 30 Days for settlement of the dispute.
G. Mediation. Within 10 business Days following the conclusion of the meet
and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in
dispute, the District shall provide the Contractor a written statement
identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion
that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim
shall be processed and made within 60 Days after the District issues its
written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the
Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the
District and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The District
and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business Days
MARCH 2026 SECTION 00 72 00
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER GENERAL CONDITIONS
REHABILITATION PROJECT 15
after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing, unless
the parties agree to select a mediator at a later time.
1. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a
mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party
to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party
shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in
connection with the selection of the neutral mediator.
2. For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding
process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute
review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the
parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an
evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in
this section.
3. Unless otherwise agreed to by the District and the Contractor in writing,
the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any
further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to
mediate after litigation has been commenced.
4. The mediation shall be held no earlier than the date the Contractor
completes the Work or the date that the Contractor last performs Work,
whichever is earlier. All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly in
a single mediation, unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation

acceptance of any work, materials, or equipment. Estimated amounts and values of
work done and materials and equipment furnished will be conformed with actual
amounts and values as they become available in subsequent payment requests,
progress payments and the final estimate and payment. All requests and payments
will be subject to correction in subsequent and final payment requests and payment.
J. No payments made under the Contract, including progress payments and the final
payment, shall be evidence of the performance of the Contract, either wholly or in
part, and no payment shall be construed to be an acceptance of any defective or
incomplete work or improper materials.

be rejected if it does not establish how the CONTRACTOR proposes to
meet this condition. A schedule submitted by the CONTRACTOR and
received by the District that calls for the completion of the project before the
stipulated project completion deadline, does not change the Contract Time
as listed in Part 2.04 of Section 00 72 00. No compensation will be allowed
MARCH 2026 SECTION 01 32 00
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS DOCUMENTATION
REHABILITATION PROJECT 1
for required schedule extensions that do not cause the Contract Time as
originally stated to change.
D. All other scheduling aspects of the installation of the Project shall be
addressed by the CONTRACTOR, especially those aspects considered by
the CONTRACTOR and/or the District to be critical to the completion of the
Project within the stipulated Contract Time as identified in Section 00 72 00,

working practices, the District has recognized that adverse weather
conditions may affect the Contractor's ability to proceed with certain portions
of the Work on a given day if, for example, the site is wet or snow covered,
or winds are high. The Contract Time established in the contract documents
takes into consideration adverse weather conditions, including but not
limited to precipitation, wind, and thunderstorms, within the average climatic
range. The Contractor's schedule shall allow enough time for these
inclement weather events, and shall reflect the following number of weather
delay days per month for activities that are potentially impacted by adverse
weather conditions:
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
4 4 4 4 3 2 2 2 2 3 4 4
The District does not consider cold temperatures/weather (below 40 degrees
Fahrenheit) to be an inclement weather event, and cautions the Contractor
that cold weather may occur at any time of year. It is the responsibility of the
Contractor to account for extended periods of cold weather in the project
schedule, and to implement controls to allow work to continue during periods
of cold weather at no additional cost to the District. The District will not
consider claims for additional cost due to delays caused by cold weather,
because of a failure by the Contractor to implement necessary controls.
F. The receipt or approval of any schedules by the District shall not in any way
relieve the Contractor of its obligations under the Contract.
2.03 REVISIONS TO CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
A. The Contractor shall submit a revised Construction Schedule within five (5)
days of the occurrence of any of the following:
1. When delay in completion of any activity or group of activities indicates
an overrun of the Contract time or control point requirement, by thirty

Certificate shall be signed by the manufacturer of the material or the
manufacturer of assembled materials and shall state that the materials
involved comply in all respects with the requirements of the Contract. A
Certificate of Compliance shall be furnished with each lot of material
delivered to the work and the lot so certified shall be clearly identified in the
Certificate. The Certificate of Compliance shall be in a form approved and
prepared by the District.
B. All materials used on the basis of a Certificate of Compliance may be
sampled and tested at any time. The fact that material is used on the basis
of a Certificate of Compliance shall not relieve the Contractor of
responsibility for incorporating material in the work which conforms to the
requirements of the Contract Documents and any such material not
conforming to such requirements will be subject to rejection, whether in
place or not. In the event of rejection, the Contractor shall remove the
rejected materials, at its cost, and replace them with conforming materials.

the work within the time limits fixed by the Contract.
C. The District may, after giving ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor,
terminate its right to proceed with the work or such part of the work as to
which there has been delay. The notice of intent to terminate shall contain the
reasons for such intention to terminate.
D. The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be so terminated nor the Contractor
charged with resulting damage if:
1. The delay in the completion of the work arises from unforeseeable
causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including but not restricted to Acts of God, acts of the public
enemy, acts of the District, acts of another contractor in the performance
of a Contract with the District, fires, floods, excluding site flooding due to
groundwater, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, lockouts, freight
embargoes, unusually severe weather, or delays of subcontractors and
suppliers arising from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and
without the fault or negligence of either the Contractor or such
subcontractors and suppliers; and
2. The Contractor, within ten (10) days from the beginning of any such
delay (unless the Engineer grants further period of time before the date
of final payment under the Contract), notifies the Engineer in writing of
the causes of delay and requests an extension of time.
E. The Engineer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of the delay and extend
the time for completing the work when, in the Engineer's judgment, the
findings of fact justify such an extension, and the findings of fact shall be final
and conclusive on the parties.
F. A request for an extension of time, or the granting of an extension of time,
shall not constitute a basis for any claim against the District for additional
compensation or damages unless caused by the District or another contractor
employed by the District.
G. If the Contractor should be adjudged bankrupt, or if he should make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed for
the Contractor on account of insolvency and not be discharged within ten (10)

I. In addition to the District's rights under this section, if at any time before
completion of the work under the Contract, it shall be determined by the
District that reasons beyond the control of the parties render it impossible or
against the interests of the District to complete the work, or if the work shall be
stopped by an injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction or by order of any
competent authority, the District may, upon ten (10) days written notice to the
Contractor, discontinue the work and terminate the Contract. Upon service of
such notice of termination, the Contractor shall discontinue the work in such
manner, sequence, and at such times as the Engineer may direct. The
Contractor shall have no claim for damages for such discontinuance or
termination, nor any claim for anticipated profits on the work thus dispensed
with, nor any other claim except for the work actually performed up to the time
of discontinuance, including the cost of materials and equipment on hand, in
transit, or on definite commitment and any extra work ordered by the Engineer
to be done, nor for any claim for liquidated damages in accordance with the
provisions of Part 2.03. The value of the work performed and the cost of
materials and equipment delivered to the site will be determined by the
Engineer in accordance with the procedure prescribed for the making of the
final application for payment. The Contractor shall assign to the District, as
directed by the Engineer, all right, title, and interest of the Contractor under
the subcontracts terminated, in which case the District shall have the right to
settle or to pay any termination settlement proposal arising out of those
terminations. As directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall transfer title
and deliver to the District:
1. the fabricated or unfabricated parts, work-in-progress, completed work,
supplies, and other materials produced or acquired for the work
terminated; and

other property that, if the Contract had been completed, would be
required to be furnished to the District.
2.05 RIGHTS OF DISTRICT UPON TERMINATION
A. In the event the right of the Contractor to proceed with the work, or any portion
thereof, has been terminated because of the fault of the Contractor and the
Contractor has been given ten (10) days notice to cure such fault and has not
done so, the District may issue a notice of termination to the Contractor and
the Contractor's surety.
B. Upon termination the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further
payment until the work is finished. If upon completion of the work the total
cost to the District, including engineering, legal, and other consultant fees,
costs of managerial and administrative services, construction costs, and
liquidated damages shall be less than the amount which would have been
paid if the work had been completed by the Contractor in accordance with the
terms of the Contract, then the difference shall be paid to the Contractor in the
same manner as the final payment under the Contract. If the total cost
incurred by the District on account of termination of the Contract and
subsequent completion of the work by the District by whatever method the
District may deem expedient shall exceed said amount which the Contractor
MARCH 2026 SECTION 01 35 00
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER SPECIAL PROCEDURES
REHABILITATION PROJECT 4
would otherwise have been paid, the Contractor and his sureties shall be
liable to the District for the full amount of such excess expense.
C. Upon termination, if the District takes over the Work, the District may, without
liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing the Work
such materials, appliances, plant, and other property belonging to the
Contractor as may be left on the Project site.
D. The rights and remedies of the District provided in this Section are in addition
to any of the rights and remedies provided by law or under this Contract.
2.06 FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE WORK IN THE TIME AGREED UPON;
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
A. Liquidated Damages -In case all the work is not completed before or upon the
expiration of the time limit as set in the Bid, Contract, and Progress Schedule,
or within any time extensions that may have been granted, substantial
damage will be sustained by the District; it is impracticable to determine the
actual amount of damage by reason of such delay. It is, therefore, agreed that
the Contractor and its Surety shall be liable for and pay to the District as
damages, and not as a penalty, the amount specified in Section 00 72 00,
General Conditions, for each and every day's delay in finishing the work in
excess of the number of days specified. The parties expressly agree that this
liquidated damage clause is reasonable under the circumstances existing at
the time the Contract was made.
B. In addition to liquidated damages for delay, if the delay results in the
imposition of regulatory fines for late performance, it is agreed that the
Contractor and its Surety shall be liable for and pay to the District as
damages, and not as a penalty, the liquidated amount specified in Section 00
72 00.
C. Exclusions - Notwithstanding the provisions above, the Contractor shall not be
liable for liquidated damages or delays caused by the removal or relocation of
utilities when such removal or relocation is the responsibility of the District or
the owner of the utility under Government Code Section 4215.
2.07 RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIR OF FACILITIES
A. All public or private facilities, including but not limited to gravel surfacing at
existing canals, structures, telephone cables, roadways, curbs, gutters,
parking lots, private drives, levees, and embankments for creeks, ponds, and
reservoirs disturbed during construction of the work shall be repaired and/or
replaced by the Contractor to match facilities existing prior to construction. In
addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for any settlement damage to
such facilities or adjoining areas for a period of one year after acceptance of
such required facilities.

2.08 DISTRICT'S REPAIR
A. In the event the Contractor refuses or neglects to make good any loss or
damage for which it is responsible under this Contract, the District may, or by
the employment of others, remedy any such loss or damage, and the cost and
expense of doing so, including any reasonable engineering, legal, and other
consultant fees, and any costs of administrative and managerial services,
shall be charged to the Contractor. Such costs and expenses may be
deducted by the District from claims for payment made by the Contractor for
work completed or remaining to be completed as provided for in Part 2.04 of
Section 01 20 00, Price and Payment Procedures.

SANITARY SEWER LINE CLEANING
PART 1 GENERAL
1.01 SCOPE
A. The intent of sewer line cleaning is to remove foreign materials from the lines and is
performed immediately before the CIPP process. Since the success of the other
phases of work depends a great deal on the cleanliness of the lines, the importance
of this phase of the operation is emphasized. It is recognized that there may be
some conditions such as broken pipe and major blockages that may prevent
cleaning from being accomplished or where additional damage would result if
cleaning were attempted or continued. Should such conditions be encountered, the
Contractor will not be required to clean those specific sections, but shall notify the
Engineer in writing of the reason cleaning cannot be accomplished. If in the course
of normal cleaning operations, damage does result from preexisting and unforeseen
conditions such as broken pipe, the Contractor will not be held responsible.

1.03 SUBMITTALS
A. Submittals shall be in accordance with Section 01 33 00 — Submittals.
PART 2 MATERIALS
2.01 REGULAR OR LIGHT CLEANING EQUIPMENT
A. Hydraulically Propelled Equipment:
1. The equipment used shall be of a movable dam type and be constructed in
such a way that a portion of the dam may be collapsed at any time during the
cleaning operation to protect against flooding of the sewer. The movable dam
shall be equal in diameter to the pipe being cleaned and shall provide a
flexible scraper around the outer periphery to ensure removal of grease.
2. If sewer cleaning balls or other equipment which cannot be collapsed are
used, special precautions to prevent flooding of the sewers and public or
private property shall be taken and presented to the Engineer for approval.
B. High-Velocity Jet (Hydro-cleaning) Equipment:
1. All high-velocity sewer cleaning equipment shall be constructed for ease and
safety of operation. The equipment shall have a selection of two or more high-
MARCH 2026 SECTION 33 01 30.41
TAHOE KEYS SANITARY SEWER SANITARY SEWER LINE CLEANING
REHABILITATION PROJECT 1
velocity nozzles. The nozzles shall be capable of producing a scouring action
from 15 to 45 degrees in all size lines designated to be cleaned.
2. Equipment shall also include a high-velocity gun for washing and scouring
manhole walls and floors. The gun shall be capable of producing flows from a
fine spray to a solid stream.
3. The equipment shall carry its own water tank, auxiliary engines, pumps, and
hydraulically driven hose reel. The National Association of Sewer Service
Companies (NASSCO) "Jetter Code of Practice" shall be consulted as a guide
for the selection of different type nozzles and recommended pressure
applications for various cleaning requirements.
C. Vacuum System
1. A minimum 6-inch suction line equipped with fluidizing nozzle capable of
removing material from beneath water surfaces at depths from the ground
surface to the sewer invert of at least 35 feet.
2.02 HEAVY CLEANING EQUIPMENT
A. Mechanically Powered Equipment:
1. Bucket machines shall be in pairs with sufficient power to perform the work in
an efficient manner. Machines shall be belt operated or have an overload
device. Machines with direct drive that could cause damage to the pipe will not
be allowed.
2. A power rodding machine shall be either a sectional or continuous rod type
capable of holding a minimum of 750 feet of rod. The rod shall be specifically
heat-treated steel. To ensure safe operation, the machine shall be fully
enclosed and have an automatic safety clutch or relief valve.
3. Chain knockers shall be used in a back and forth motion to perform the work of
loosening heavy deposits of material. Chain knockers may be used in ductile
iron pipe only.
2.03 CLEANING FOR LARGE DIAMETER:
A. For cleaning large diameter sewer, storm or combination pipes, consideration
should be given to a combination hydraulic high volume water and solids separation
system. The flow from the sewer will provide water for the pump operation so no
potable water is necessary and treatment costs are not a factor.
B. Water volume of up to 250 GPM at 2000 PSI+ will move solids to the downstream
manhole in high flow conditions. The separation system will dewater solids to 95%
(passing a paint filter test) and transfer them to a dump truck for transport to a
sewage treatment plant or approved landfill. Sewer water will be filtered to a point
where it can be used in the pump for continuous cleaning.
C. No bypassing of sewer flows will be necessary. The unit shall be capable of 24-hour
operation and the unit shall not leave the manhole until a section is fully cleaned.
MARCH 2026 SECTION 33 01 30.41

cutters, porcupines, or high-velocity hydro cleaners.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 CLEANING WATER
A. Contractor shall be responsible to contact the District for source of clean water.
3.02 CLEANING PRECAUTIONS
A. During sewer cleaning operations, satisfactory precautions shall be taken in the use
of cleaning equipment. When hydraulically propelled cleaning tools or tools which
retard the flow in the sewer line are used, precautions shall be taken to ensure that
the water pressure created does not damage or cause flooding of public or private
property being served by the sewer. When possible, the flow of sewage in the
