CITY OF PALM SPRINGS
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
1. DEFINED TERMS - Terms used in these Instructions to Bidders and the Notice
Inviting Bids and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
General and Special Provisions. The term "Bidder" shall mean one who submits a Bid
directly to the City, as distinct from a sub-bidder, who submits a Bid to a Bidder. The term
"Engineer" shall be as defined in the Special Provisions.
2. COMPETENCY OF BIDDERS - In selecting the lowest responsive, responsible
Bidder, consideration will be given not only to the financial standing of the Bidder, but also
to the general competency of the Bidder for the performance of the Work covered by the
Bid. To this end, each Bid shall be supported by a statement of the Bidder's experience
as of recent date on the form entitled “Bidder's General Information,” included in these
Special Provisions.
Note, the City reserves the right to reject a Bidder as not responsible if the Bidder’s prior
work experience reflects negative performance based on the City’s investigations into the
Bidder’s prior work experience, or the Bidder has had any civil wage and penalty
assessments filed against the Bidder by the California Department of Industrial Relations
for failure to pay prevailing wages, or such other negative findings against the Bidder that
the City may obtain in its investigations.
Except as otherwise provided under Public Contract Code §20103.5, no Bid for the Work
will be accepted from a contractor who does not hold a valid contractor's license in the
State of California for the classifications named in the Notice Inviting Bids at the time of
award.
3. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS - More than one Bid from an individual, firm,
partnership, corporation, or association under the same or different names will not be
considered. If the City believes that any Bidder is interested in more than one Bid for the
Work contemplated, all Bids in which such Bidder is interested will be rejected. If the City
believes that collusion exists among the Bidders, all Bids will be rejected.
Bidders must comply with the registration requirements of Labor Code Section
1725.5, as further described in the Notice Inviting Bidders; failure to comply with the
bidder registration requirements will disqualify a Bidder.
4. BIDDER'S EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND THE SITE –
(a) It is the responsibility of each Bidder before submitting a Bid to examine the
Contract Documents thoroughly; visit the site to become familiar with local conditions that
may affect cost, progress, or performance of the Work; consider federal, state, and local
laws and regulations that may affect cost, progress, or performance of the Work; study
and carefully correlate the Bidder's observations with the Contract Documents; and notify
the Engineer of all conflicts, errors, or discrepancies noted in the Contract Documents.
(b) Reference is made to the Special Provisions for identification of those reports
of explorations and tests of subsurface conditions at the site which may have been
INSTRUCTIONS TO

utilized by the Engineer in the preparation of the Contract Documents. However, such
reports are NOT a part of the Contract Documents. The interpretation of such technical
data, including any interpolation or extrapolation thereof, together with non-technical data,
interpretations, and opinions contained therein or the completeness thereof is the
responsibility of the Bidder. If a copy of those reports are included in the Appendix of the
Special Provisions, they are provided as a courtesy to the Bidder.
(c) Unless otherwise provided in the Appendix of the Special Provisions, copies of
such reports and drawings will be made available for inspection by the City to any Bidder
upon request. Those reports and drawings are NOT part of the Contract Documents, but
any technical data contained therein upon which the Bidder is entitled to rely is limited to
that set forth in the Special Provisions.
(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 4215 of the California Government Code,
information and data reflected in the Contract Documents with respect to underground
utilities at or contiguous to the site is based upon information and data furnished to the
City and the Engineer by the owners of such underground utilities or others, and the City
does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof unless it is
expressly provided otherwise in the Special Provisions.
(e) Provisions concerning responsibilities for the adequacy of data furnished to
prospective Bidders on subsurface conditions, underground utilities and other physical
conditions, and possible changes in the Contract Documents due to differing conditions
appear in the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions.
(f) Before submitting a Bid, each Bidder must, at Bidder's own expense, make or
obtain any additional examinations and investigations which pertain to the physical
conditions (surface, subsurface, and underground utilities) at or contiguous to the site or
otherwise which may affect cost, progress, or performance of the Work and which the
Bidder deems necessary to determine its Bid for performing the Work in accordance with
the time, price, and other terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.
(g) Where feasible, upon request in advance, the City will provide each Bidder
access to the site to conduct such investigations and tests as each Bidder deems
necessary for submittal of a Bid. The Bidder shall fill all exploration and test holes made
by the Bidder and shall repair damage, clean up, and restore the site to its former
condition upon completion of such exploration.
(h) The lands upon which the Work is to be performed, the rights-of-way and
easements for access thereto, and other lands designated for use by the Contractor in
performing the Work are identified in the Contract Documents. All additional lands and
access thereto required for temporary construction facilities or storage of materials and
equipment are to be provided by the Contractor. Easement for permanent structures or
permanent changes in existing structures will be obtained and paid for by the City unless
otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.
(i) The submittal of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by the
Bidder that the Bidder has complied with every requirement of this Article; that without

exception the Bid is premised upon performing the W ork required by the Contract
Documents and such means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of
construction as may be indicated in or required by the Contract Documents; and that the
Contract Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey
understanding of all the terms and conditions for performance of the Work.
5. INTERPRETATIONS - All questions about the meaning or intent of the Contract
Documents are to be directed to the Engineer. Interpretations or clarifications considered
necessary by the Engineer in response to such questions will be resolved by the issuance
of Addenda mailed or delivered to all parties recorded by the Engineer or the City as
having received the Contract Documents. Questions received less than 5 working days
prior to the date of opening Bids will not be answered. Only questions that have been
resolved by formal written Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or
clarifications received from the City will be without legal or contractual effect.
6. BID SECURITY, BONDS, AND INSURANCE - Each Bid shall be accompanied by
a certified or cashier's check or approved Bid Bond in the amount stated in the Notice
Inviting Bids. Said check or bond shall be made payable to the City and shall be given as
a guarantee that the Bidder, if awarded the Work, will enter into an Agreement with the
City and will furnish the necessary insurance certificates, Payment Bond, and
Performance Bond. Each of said bonds and insurance certificates shall be in the
amounts stated in the Standard Specifications or Special Provisions. In case of refusal or
failure of the successful Bidder to enter into said Agreement, the check or Bid Bond, as
the case may be, shall be forfeited to the City. If the Bidder elects to furnish a Bid Bond
as its security, the Bidder shall use the Bid Bond form included within these Special
Provisions, or one conforming substantially to it in form.

bid items shall be properly filled out. Where so indicated in the Bid Documents, Bid price
shall be shown in words and figures, and in the event of any conflict between the words
and figures, the words shall govern. The envelope enclosing the sealed bids shall be
plainly marked in the upper left-hand corner with the name and address of the Bidder and
shall bear the words "DO NOT OPEN IN REGULAR MAIL-THIS IS A SEALED BID
FOR," followed by the title of the Contract Documents for the Work, the name of the
"CITY OF PALM SPRINGS," the address where the bids are to be delivered or mailed to,
and the date and hour of opening of bids. The Bid Security shall be enclosed in the same

of bids, no matter what the reason.
10. DISCREPANCIES IN BIDS - In the event that there is more than one Bid Item in
the Bid Schedule, the Bidder shall furnish a price for all Bid Items in the schedule, and
failure to do so will render the Bid as non-responsive and may cause its rejection. In the
event that there are unit price Bid Items in a Bid Schedule and the “amount” indicated for
a unit price Bid Item does not equal the product of the unit price and quantity listed, the
unit price shall govern and the amount will be corrected accordingly, and the Contractor
shall be bound by such correction, subject to the provisions of Section 5100 et seq. of the
California Public Contract Code. However, if a unit price is unreadable or otherwise
unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total
column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and
shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall
be the unit price, and the Contractor shall be bound by such correction, subject to the
provisions of Section 5100 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code.
In the event that there is more than one Bid Item in a Bid Schedule and the total indicated
for the schedule does not agree with the sum of prices Bid on the individual items, the
prices bid on the individual items shall govern and the total for the schedule will be
corrected accordingly, and the Contractor shall be bound by said correction, subject to the
provisions of Section 5100 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code.
11. QUANTITIES OF WORK –
(a) The quantities of work or material stated in unit price items of the Bid are
supplied only to give an indication of the general scope of the Work; the City does not
expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work or material will
correspond therewith.
(b) In the event of an increase or decrease in a bid item quantity of a unit price
contract, the total amount of work actually done or materials or equipment furnished shall
be paid for according to the unit prices established for such work under the Contract
Documents; provided, that on unit price contracts, increases of more than 25 percent,
decreases of more than 25 percent, and eliminated items shall be adjusted as provided in
Section 3 of the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions.

written request must be delivered to the place stipulated in the Notice Inviting Bids prior to
the scheduled closing time for receipt of Bids.
13. MODIFICATIONS AND UNAUTHORIZED ALTERNATIVE BIDS - Unauthorized
conditions, limitations, or provisos attached to the Bid will render it informal and may
cause its rejection as being non-responsive. The completed Bid forms shall be without
interlineation, alterations, or erasures. Alternative Bids will not be considered unless
expressly called for in the Notice Inviting Bids. Oral, FAX, telegraphic, or telephone Bids
or modifications will not be considered.

the case of 2 or more Bid Schedules which are alternative to each other, only one of such
alternative schedules may be awarded.

execute a written Agreement with the City on the form of agreement provided, shall

Contract to the second lowest responsive, responsible Bidder. If the second lowest
responsive, responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the City may
award the Contract to the third lowest responsive, responsible Bidder. On the failure or

expense within five (5) days after written notice of such defects has been given to him by
the City. Should the Contractor fail to repair such defective material or workmanship
within five (5) days thereafter, the City of Palm Springs may cause the necessary repairs

may be evaluated by placing advertisements inviting proposals in local newspapers,
sending request for proposals to local sub-contractors, or by demonstrating that no local
sub-contracts are qualified to perform the work or supply the materials or equipment. Any
notice inviting bids which may require the use of sub-contractors shall include notification

any contractor proposing to use sub-contractors that fail to comply with the requirements
of this subsection.

Program”, subsection (5) “Local Preference in Public Works Contracts (Sub-Contracting)”, which

equipment to local business enterprises and to sub-contract services to businesses whose work
force resides within the Coachella Valley. The prime contractor shall submit evidence of such
good faith efforts at the time of submission of bids. Good faith efforts may be evaluated by

local sub-contractors, or by demonstrating that no local sub-contracts are qualified to perform the
work or supply the materials or equipment. Any notice inviting bids which may require the use of
sub-contractors shall include notification of this subsection. The City Council or Director may
reject as non-responsive the bid of any contractor proposing to use sub-contractors that fail to
comply with the requirements of this subsection.
FAILURE TO IDENTIFY GOOD FAITH EFFORTS ON THESE FORMS MAY BE SUFFICIENT
CAUSE TO FIND THE BID NON-RESPONSIVE. BIDDERS SHALL ENSURE ALL
APPROPRIATE GOOD FAITH EFFORTS ARE IDENTIFIED.
Bidders shall provide sufficient information to demonstrate that they have made good faith
efforts to comply with Palm Springs Ordinance No. 1756. In the event no local firm (as defined

protest. The City Manager’s decision shall constitute the City’s final determination on
the bid protest, unless otherwise reconsidered by the City Council as provided in
Subsection (9) of this Section.
(8) Once a protest has been filed with the Procurement and Contracting
Manager or City Engineer, no contract shall be awarded until the Procurement and
Contracting Manager or City Engineer, as the case may be, has issued a written
decision on the bid protest, or if the Procurement and Contracting Manager’s or City
Engineer’s decision is appealed, the City Manager has issued a final determination.
(9) For bids or proposals awarded by the City Council, the City Manager
shall, at the time the bid or proposal is presented to the City Council for award, submit
to the City Council a written report on the bid protest, including the Procurement and
Contracting Manager’s or City Engineer’s decision, or, if the Procurement and

SECTION 3 – CHANGES IN WORK
ADD: 3-1.3 Cost Reduction Proposal. The Contractor may submit to the Engineer in
writing, proposals for modifying the Plans, Specifications, or other requirements of the
Contract for the sole purpose of reducing the total cost of construction. The cost
reduction proposal shall not impair, in any manner, the essential functions or
characteristics of the Project such as service life, economy of operation, ease of
maintenance, desired appearance, or design and safety standards.
Cost reduction proposals shall contain the following information:
a) A description of both the existing Contract requirements for performing the Work and
the proposed changes.
b) An itemization of the Contract requirements that shall be changed if the proposal is
adopted.
c) A detailed estimate of the cost of performing the Work under the existing Contract
and under the proposed change.
d) A statement of the time within which the Engineer shall make a decision thereon.
e) The Contract items of Work affected by the proposed changes, including any
quantity variation attributable thereto.
The provisions of this section shall not be construed to require the Engineer to consider
any cost reduction proposal which may be submitted hereunder; nor will the City be
liable to the Contractor for failure to accept or act upon any cost reduction proposal
submitted pursuant to this section, nor for any delays to the Work attributable to any
such proposal. If a cost reduction proposal is similar to the information included in the
Contract Documents or adopted by the City after the advertisement for the Contract, the
City will not accept such proposal and reserves the right to make such changes without
compensation to the Contractor under the provisions of this section.
The Contractor shall continue to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements
of the Contract until an executed Change Order, incorporating the cost reduction
proposal has been issued. If an executed Change Order has not been issued by the
date upon which the Contractor's cost reduction proposal specified that a decision
thereon should be made, or such other date as the Contractor may subsequently have
specified in writing, such cost reduction proposal shall be deemed rejected.
The Engineer shall be the sole judge of the acceptability of a cost reduction proposal
and of the estimated net savings in construction costs from the adoption of all or any
part of such proposal. In determining the estimated net savings, the right is reserved to
disregard the Contract Bid prices if, in the judgment of the Engineer, such prices do not
represent a fair measure of the value of the Work to be performed or to be deleted.
The City reserves the right, where it deems such action appropriate, to require the
Contractor to share in the City's costs of investigating a cost reduction proposal
submitted by the Contractor as a condition of considering such proposal. Where such a
condition is imposed, the Contractor shall indicate its acceptance thereof in writing, and
CHANGES IN WORK
SPECIAL PROVISIONS - SECTION 3 - PAGE 2
INDIAN CANYON DRIVE
CITY PROJECT NO. 17-08
DATE June 14, 2018
such acceptance shall constitute full authority for the City to deduct amounts payable to
the Contractor from any monies due or that may become due to the Contractor under
the Contract.
If the Contractor's cost reduction proposal is accepted in whole or in part, such
acceptance will be by a Change Order, which shall specifically state that it is executed
pursuant to this section. Such Change Order shall incorporate the changes in the Plans
and Specifications which are necessary to permit the cost reduction proposal, or such
part of it as has been accepted to be put into effect, and shall include any conditions
upon which the City's approval thereof is based if the approval of the City is conditional.
The Change Order shall set forth the estimated net savings in the cost of performing the
Work attributable to the cost reduction proposal effectuated by the Change Order, and
shall further provide that the Contract cost be adjusted by crediting the City with 50% of
estimated net savings amount.
Acceptance of the cost reduction proposal and performance of the Work shall not
extend the time of completion of the Contract, unless specifically provided for in the
Change Order authorizing the use of the cost reduction proposal.
The amount specified to accrue to the Contractor in the Change Order which
effectuates a cost reduction proposal shall constitute full compensation to the
Contractor for the cost reduction proposal and the performance of the Work thereof
pursuant to the said Change Order.
The City expressly reserves the right to adopt a cost reduction proposal for general use
on contracts administered by the City when it determines that said proposal is suitable
for application to other contracts. When an accepted cost reduction proposal is
adopted for general use, only the Contractor who first submitted such proposal will be
eligible for compensation pursuant to this section, and in that case, only as to those
contracts awarded to him prior to submission of the accepted cost reduction proposal.
The cost reduction proposals identical or similar to previously submitted proposals will
be eligible for consideration and compensation under the provisions of this section, if
the identical or similar, previously submitted proposals were not adopted for general
application to other contracts administered by the City. Subject to the provisions
contained herein, the City or any other public agency shall have the right to use all or
any part of any submitted cost reduction proposal without obligation or compensation of
any kind to the Contractor.
Additional bonding may be required. The Contractor shall bear all costs to revise bonds
for the Project to include the cost reduction incentive proposal Work.

costs of the Subcontractor, to which the Contractor may add 5% of the
Subcontractor's total cost for the Extra Work.
Regardless of the number of hierarchical tiers of Subcontractors, the 5% which is the
Contractor’s allowance 3.5% (for overhead) and 1.5% (for profit) may be applied one
time only to the performing Subcontractor’s total cost.
ADD: 3-4.1 Disallowance of Entitlement. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any

shall constitute a waiver of all relief associated with the dispute. Claims shall be subject
to 6-11, “CITY’S RIGHT TO AUDIT.”
Contractor shall continue to perform the Services and the Work and maintain the
Schedule during any dispute proceedings and City will continue to make payments for
undisputed Services and Work.
A claim arising under the Contract, unlike a claim relating to the Contract, is a claim that
can be resolved under a Contract provision that provides for or excludes the relief
sought by the claimant. Such claims shall be resolved under the applicable provisions of
the Contract.
The City’s claims process in this section shall not relieve Contractor of his statutory
obligations to present claims prior to any action under the California Government Code.

Contractor’s required payment of its attorneys’ fees and costs associated with
any civil action filed with regard to the contract.
ADD: 3-8 ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS.

Resolution Process outlined herein this Section 3-8.
3-8.1 Mandatory Non-Binding Mediation. If a dispute arises out of, or relates to this
contract, or the breach thereof, and if said dispute cannot be settled through contract

and if both parties agree, a no mandatory dispute resolution board process may be
used. The parties may impanel a Dispute Resolution Board (DRB) and the DRB
process shall be conducted in accordance with the City's alternative dispute resolution
process, utilizing board members who are individuals who have expertise in

informal and discovery shall not be permitted. The parties may agree to exchange any
information they deem necessary. Each party shall have a maximum of 2 hours for
presentation, unless otherwise agreed upon. Outside experts, including attorneys, may
address their specialty if the opposing party is notified in advance. Each party will be
given full opportunity to present its views and supporting information, including
documents, drawings, or other pertinent material. All such evidence and displays shall
be considered confidential and shall be retained by the presenting party. Discussions or
admissions during DRB discussions shall be considered as part of privileged settlement
discussions, without prejudice to any party's legal position.
Any resultant agreements from a DRB Hearing shall be documented, in writing, by both
parties. The DRB results and documentation, by themselves, shall be non-binding and
inadmissible for any purpose in any legal proceeding, unless such admission is
otherwise agreed upon, in writing, by both parties. DRB members shall not be subject
to any subpoena or liability and their actions shall not be subject to discovery.
Within 10 Working Days after the hearing, the DRB will make its recommendation, in

elect to perform inspection of an out-of-town manufacturer. The Contractor shall incur
all inspection costs. These costs shall include travel expenses, a per diem allowance for
lodging, meals, and car rental per day. If the manufacturing plant operates a double
shift, a double shift shall be figured in the inspection costs. At the option of the
Engineer, full time inspection will continue for the length of the manufacturing period. If
the manufacturing period will exceed 3 consecutive weeks, the expenses of the
Engineer's supervisor will be included in the figures for one 2-day trip to the site per

Engineer and their supervisor if employed by the City, when required by the Special
Provisions or as shown on Plans.
ADD: 4-1.3.4 Special Inspection. Certain elements of the Work may be subject to
special inspection required by applicable building codes, and a building permit issued to
the Engineer prior to construction (or to be issued to the Contractor) by the City’s

4-1.6 TRADE NAMES OR EQUALS. DELETE in its entirety and SUBSTITUTE the
following:
In accordance with California Public Contract Code § 3400(b), and as specified herein
this Section 4-1.6, the Contractor shall submit its list of proposed substitutions for “an
equal” (“or equal”) item within 20 days after award of the contract. If an offered
substitution by the Contractor for the trade names specified in the Contract necessitates
changes to, or coordination with, other items of the Work, the information submitted
shall include details showing such changes. The Contractor shall perform these
changes as part of the substitution of material or equipment and at no additional cost to
the City. The lack of action on the Engineer’s side by taking no exceptions to the
proposed substitution shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for the
efficiency, sufficiency, quality, and performance of the substitute material or equipment,
in the same manner and degree as the material and equipment specified by name.
Whenever materials or equipment are indicated in the Contract Documents by using the
name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular Supplier, the naming of the item
is intended to establish the type, function, and quality required. Unless stated
otherwise, materials or equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted if sufficient
information is submitted to the Engineer for review to determine whether the material or
equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named.
Request for approvals of “or equal” items prior to Bid Opening will not be considered.
Bidders are responsible to ensure their Bid includes the price required for the item as
specified, and assumes all risk in including a price for an “or equal” item that is not
approved by the Engineer, and any additional cost associated with furnishing and
installing the item as specified in the specifications or plans.
The Contractor may bring forward a substitution proposal for an “or equal” item provided
the request and supporting documentation is submitted within 20 days of contract
award. The following information shall be included with any substitution request:
1. Whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a
change in any of the Contract Documents to adopt the design to the proposed
substitute.
2. Whether or not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Work is
subject to payment of any license fee or royalty.
3. All variations of the proposed substitute from the items originally specified will be
identified.

4. Available maintenance, repair, and replacement service requirements. The
manufacturer must have a local service agency within 50 miles of the site which
maintains properly trained personnel and adequate spare parts and is able to
respond and complete repairs within 24 hours.
5. Certification that the proposed substitute will perform adequately the functions and
achieve the results called for by the general design, and be similar and of equal
substance to that indicated, and be suited to the same use as that specified.
There is no guaranteed time frame for the Engineer’s review of the substitution
requests.
The Contractor is responsible to demonstrate that the type, function, and quality of any
such substitute product, material or equipment is equivalent to the specified item. The
Engineer shall require at the Contractor’s expense additional data about the proposed
substitution he deems necessary.
If the Engineer takes no exceptions to the proposed substitution, it will not relieve the
Contractor from responsibility for the efficiency, sufficiency, quality, and performance of
the substitute material or equipment, in the same manner and degree as the material
and equipment specified by name.
The lack of any action by the Engineer does not constitute acceptance of the
substitution; all approved “or equal” substitutions must be approved in writing by the
Engineer.
Acceptance by the Engineer of a substitute item does not relieve you of the
responsibility for full compliance with the Contract Documents.

ADD: 6-1.4 Phased Funding.
6-1.4.1 General. Phase Funding is a means by which large projects, encompassing
multiple tasks and taking place over an extended period of time, may be budgeted and
appropriated in a multi-phase plan and contracted accordingly that maximizes the City’s
use of available funds. If this contract is specified on the Contract Documents to be
subject to phased funding, the phased funding requirements in these specifications
shall apply.
The decision to utilize phased funding shall be solely at the discretion of the City.
6-1.4.2 Pre-Award Schedule. The Pre-Award Schedule is a cost-loaded CPM
schedule prepared in accordance with 6-1, “CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND
COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORK” showing all activities with costs, durations, and
dependencies, for the first phase of the contract. The Pre-Award Schedule shall be
used as a basis for the first Phased Funding Schedule Agreement which will be
developed by the City.
For phased funded contracts, the City typically secures enough funds for the first 90
days of the contract prior to award. Within 10 Working Days after Bid opening date the
Apparent Low Bidder shall contact the Project Manager to discuss fund availability and
the duration of the first phase and submit the Pre-Award Schedule to the City for
approval and preparation of the first Phased Funding Schedule Agreement. If the Bid
submitted by the Apparent Low Bidder is rejected by the City for any reason, then within

Pre-Award Schedule. This process shall continue until the City has selected the lowest
responsible and reliable Bidder or has decided to reject all Bids.
The Contractor shall coordinate the estimated construction start date with the City’s
Project Manager. Upon receipt, the Project Manager will review the Pre-Award
Schedule and provide comments, as appropriate, for revision by the Contractor. The
Project Manager may require backup documentation and calculations to justify
schedules.

Schedule Agreement shall show the fund availability for the first phase. Within 22
Working Days from the date of the Bid Opening or notice to the next Apparent Low
Bidder (whichever occurs last) and once a Pre-Award Schedule is accepted by the City,
the City will present the first Phased Funding Schedule Agreement to the Contractor
that is selected as the lowest responsible Bidder as defined in the Palm Springs

At the Project Manager’s request, the Contractor shall meet with the Project Manager
before execution of the first Phased Funding Schedule Agreement to discuss the
Project Manager’s comments and requests for revision to the Pre-Award Schedule.
Failure by the Contractor to perform the following may result in the Bid being rejected as
non-responsive: a) meet with the Project Manager, if requested to do so, to discuss and
respond to the City comments regarding the Pre-Award Schedule, b) revise the Pre-
Award Schedule as requested by the City within the specified 22 Working Days
timeframe, or c) execute the first Phased Funding Schedule Agreement within a day
after receipt. Once executed by both parties, the first Phased Funding Schedule
Agreement shall become part of the Contract Documents. The first Phased Funding
Schedule Agreement Form is included in the Bidding Documents.
The City reserves the right to award the first phase with duration of fewer than 90
Working Days.
6-1.4.4 Final Phased Funding Schedule Agreement. After Award the Contractor’s
approved Schedule shall serve as the basis for the final Phased Funding Schedule
Agreement, which includes the total contract amount and all phases. The City and
Contractor may mutually agree to revise the first phase; however, the total funds
allocated as part of the previously approved Pre-Award Schedule shall not be
exceeded.
The final Phased Funding Schedule Agreement shall define payment limitations and the
respective obligations of the parties in accordance with 9-3.7, “Phased Funding
Compensation.”
ADD: 6-1.5 Contract Time Extensions. The Contract Time shall not be modified
except by Change Order. The Contractor shall immediately submit to the City a written
request for a Change Order to modify the Contract Time, but in no event later than 24
hours after the occurrence and discovery of the event(s) giving rise to the request. The
Contractor shall include in its request a general description of the basis for and the
estimated length of any extension and submit supporting data. Any City approval of a
request shall be contingent upon the Contractor’s submission of a written statement that
the Contract Time extension reflects the entire extension to which the Contractor is
entitled as a result of the occurrence of the event(s).
The City will not grant an extension in Contract Time unless the Contractor
demonstrates through an analysis of the critical path that: 1) the increases in the time to
perform all or part of the Project, beyond the Contract Time, arise from unforeseeable
causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, their
agents, officers, and/or employees; and 2) the causes actually rendered performance of
all or part of the Project beyond the corresponding Contract Time, despite the
Contractor’s reasonable and diligent actions to avoid the extension.

Contract Time. If the Contractor does not agree with this document, the Contractor shall
within 15 days after receipt of the statement submit to the City for review a written
protest supporting the Contractor’s objections to the document. The Contractor’s failure
to file a timely protest shall constitute the Contractor’s acceptance of the City’s weekly

shall be subject to 3-7, “Claims.”
The Contractor shall be fully responsible for any delays arising from the Contractor’s
design of the Project when engineering services are included in the Work.
ADD: 6-1.6 Excusable Delays. To the extent any of the following events results in an

Contract Unit Prices or lump sum Bid and the quantity of the Work completed at the
time of default, less damages caused to the City by acts of the Contractor.
Costs incurred by the City in performing the Contractor’s work, plus a markup of 15% on
those costs for overhead, shall be deducted from any money due or to become due to
the Contractor. The Contractor shall pay to the City any amount by which those costs
and markup exceed the unpaid balance of the Contract Price.
Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for Default, the Surety shall immediately

assumes any part of the Work, it shall take the Contractor’s place in all respects for that
part, and will be paid by the City for Work performed by it in accordance with the
Contract. When the Surety assumes the entire Contract, all money due the Contractor
at the time of its default shall be payable to the Surety as the Work progresses, subject
to the terms of the Contract.
Within 15 Working Days of the notice of Termination for Default, the Surety shall
provide a written plan detailing the course of action it intends to take to remedy the
default. The City will review and notify the Surety if the plan is satisfactory.
If the Surety fails to submit the plan or to maintain progress on the plan once it’s been
approved by the City, the City may exclude the Surety from the premises. The City may
then take possession of all material and equipment and complete the Work by the City
forces, by letting the unfinished Work to another Contractor, or by a combination of such
methods. In any event, the cost of completing the Work shall be charged against the
Contractor and its Surety and may be deducted from any money due or becoming due
from the City. If the amounts due under the Contract are insufficient for completion, the
Contractor or Surety shall pay to the City within 30 days after the City submits an invoice
for all costs in excess of the remaining Contract Price.
The provisions of this subsection shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies

in the time to perform or complete the Work, or specified part of the Work, beyond the
corresponding Contract Time(s) arise from unforeseeable causes beyond the control
and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, and that such causes in fact lead
to performance or completion of the Work, or specified part in question, beyond the
corresponding Contract Time, despite the Contractor's reasonable and diligent actions
to guard against those effects.
Fragnet is a group of schedule network activities representing a delay or change event.
The Schedule analysis shall use delay fragnets to show the impact of the Work that is
the basis of the Claim on specific impacted critical path Schedule activities.

Contract Times (or Milestones) due to delay to a "critical path" activity beyond the
control of both the City and the Contractor, an extension of the Contract Times (or
Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost on the critical path of the Project due to
such delay shall be the Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delay.
The City may elect, at its sole discretion, to grant an extension in Contract Time, without
the Contractor’s request, because of delays or other factors.

Contractor arising out of the Work performed under the contract and for any other
claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of

(but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely
to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential

inspection of the Work by the City is not a waiver of full compliance with these
requirements.
The Contractor’s obligation to defend and indemnify is not excused because of the
Contractor’s inability to evaluate liability or because the Contractor evaluates liability and
determines that the Contractor is not liable. The Contractor must respond within 30
days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time
has been extended in writing by the City. Failure to accept or reject a tender of defense
and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, the
City may withhold such funds the City reasonably considers necessary for its defense
and indemnity until disposition has been made of the claim or until the Contractor
accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.
With respect to third-party claims against the Contractor, the Contractor shall agree to
waive all rights of any type to express or implied indemnity against the City, its officers,
employees, or agents.
Nothing in the contract is intended to establish a standard of care owed to any member
of the public or to extend to the public the status of a third-party beneficiary for any of
these indemnification specifications.
7-15.2 Responsibility to Other Entities. The Contractor shall be responsible for any
liability imposed by law and for injuries to or death of any person, including workers and
the public, or damage to property. The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless
any county, other city, governmental agency, or special district, and its officers and
employees, connected with the Work, all in the same manner and to the same extent
specified for the protection of the City.
7-15.3 Indemnification Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7-15 shall be
incorporated as part of the contract, and Contractor shall be bound as follows:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend (at Contractor’s sole cost
and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers,
employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and
against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs, judgments,

federal, state, or local law or ordinance, and from errors and omissions committed by
Contractor, its officers, employees, representatives, and agents, that arise out of or
relate to Contractor’s performance under the contract. This indemnification clause
excludes Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City, its
elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. Under no circumstances
shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in the Special Provisions be
construed to limit Contractor’s indemnification obligation or other liability under the

from Subcontractors or potential Subcontractors.
The Contractor shall be subject to all federal, state and local conflict of interest laws,
regulations, and policies applicable to public contracts and procurement practices, e.g.,
California Government Code §§1090, et. seq., and 81000, et. seq. If, in performing the

(Annual Statement) on or before April 1, disclosing any financial interests held during
the previous calendar year for which the Contractor was subject to a conflict of interest

SECTION 9 – MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
ADD: 9-1.4 Final Pay Items. For bid items noted as a final pay item, “(F)”, on the Bid
Schedule, the Contractor shall accept payment based on the Bid Item as a final
unadjusted quantity, regardless of the actual final quantity used or otherwise required
for that item, unless the dimensions of the work are changed by the Engineer. The
Contractor is required to confirm the measurement of any final pay item at the time of
bidding, and to incorporate in its bid item price the total cost of the work associated with
the final pay item, reflective of the Contractor’s independent measurement and the
quantity noted in the Bid Schedule. No additional payment will be allowed for final pay
items in the event the quantity identified in the Bid Schedule is less than the quantity
actually required to complete the work as identified in the project drawings.
ADD: 9-2.1 Schedule of Values (SOV). Within 10 days of execution of this contract,
the Contractor shall submit for the City’s review and approval an SOV for the lump sum
Bid items of the Work. The Schedule of Values will:
a) Subdivide the Work into its respective parts,
b) Include values for all items comprising the Work, and
c) Serve as the basis for monthly progress payments made to the Contractor
throughout the Work.
The City shall be the sole judge of acceptable numbers, details, and description of
values established. If, in the opinion of the City, a greater number of SOV items than
proposed by the Contractor are necessary, the Contractor shall add the additional items
so identified by the City. When requested by City, the Contractor shall provide
substantiating data in support of scheduled values. The Contractor shall incorporate the
SOV into the cost loading function of the Schedule in accordance with 6-1,
“CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORK.” Monthly
progress payment amounts for Lump Sum items shall be determined from the monthly
updates of the Schedule activities.
The SOV shall be developed independent but simultaneous with the development of the
Schedule activities and logic. The SOV shall incorporate phase funding impacts, if
applicable. The Work not specifically included in the Bid shall be broken down as
necessary for establishment of cost and Schedule activity.
Following acceptance of the SOV, the Contractor shall incorporate the changes (if any)
into the cost loading portion of the Schedule. Where coordination of the Schedule and
the SOV requires changes made to one or both documents, the Contractor shall
propose changes to the SOV and to the Schedule activities to satisfy the Schedule cost
loading requirements.
Changes to the Schedule which add activities not included in the original Schedule but
included in the original Work (schedule omissions) shall have values assigned as

adjustment increases for added activities as accepted by the City.
In the event that the Contractor and the City agree to make adjustments to the original
SOV because of inequities discovered in the original accepted SOV, increases and
equal decreases to values for activities may be made.
Payment for the preparation of the SOV shall be included in the various Bid items.
SPECIAL NOTE: No progress payment shall be approved for payment unless, and until
the Contractor has submitted, and the Engineer has approved an SOV for each lump
sum Bid Item of Work.

following:
At the expiration of 30 days from the date of filing the NOC with the County Recorder
and upon receipt by the Engineer of a fully executed Release of Claims, the amount

payment to the Contractor except such amounts as are required by law to be withheld
by properly executed and filed notices to stop payment, as may be authorized by the
Contract to be further retained or as otherwise required by law. Payment shall be made
in accordance with the City’s regular accounts payable cycle.
Acceptance by the Contractor of Final Payments shall be and shall operate as a release
to the City of all claims in stated amounts that may be specifically excepted by the
Contractor for things done or furnished in connection with this Work and for every act
and neglect of the City and others related to or arising out of this Work. Payment by the
City shall not release the Contractor or its Surety from any obligation under Contract or
under the performance bond and payment bonds.
9-3.2 Partial and Final Payment. DELETE the second and third paragraphs and
SUBSTITUTE with the following:
From each progress estimate, an amount (Retention) not less than 5% of the completed
Work will be deducted and retained by the City. The City will withhold not less than 5%
of the Contract Price until Final Acceptance of the Project. After 50% of the Work has
been completed and if progress on the Work is satisfactory, the total retention held may
be limited to 5% of the first half of Contract Price.
ADD the following:
Partial payments made after the Contract completion date will reflect the amount
withheld for liquidated damages as required by 6-9, “LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.” Any
such partial payments made to the Contractor, or its Sureties, will not constitute a
waiver of the City's liquidated damages.

Pursuant to California Public Contract Code §22300, the Contractor has the option, at
its expense, to substitute for any money withheld by the City, securities equivalent to the
amount being withheld. Securities eligible for such substitution are bank or savings and
loans certificates of deposit or such securities which are eligible for investment pursuant

retention of the necessary securities to cover such amounts as are required by law to be
withheld by properly executed and filed notices to stop payment, or as may be
authorized by the Contract to be further retained, or as otherwise required by law.
Neither Final Payment nor any final release of Retention shall become due until the
Contractor submits to the City:

connected with the Work for which the City or the City's property might be
responsible or encumbered, less amounts withheld by the City, have been paid or

the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a partial payment estimate, filled out and
signed by the Contractor, that identifies acceptable Work performed during the previous
month, or since the last partial payment estimate was submitted. If requested by the
Engineer, the Contractor shall provide such additional data as may be required to
support the payment estimate. Such data may include satisfactory evidence of
payment for equipment, materials, and labor, including payments to Subcontractors and
suppliers.
For application for progress payment, the Contractor shall use the format required by
the City. An electronic copy of the invoice form is available from the Engineer upon
request. Progress or partial payments shall not be made until the Contractor submits to
the City an updated Schedule that meets the City’s requirements. It is solely the
responsibility of the Contractor to prepare and submit the Schedule updates.
30 days after presentation of undisputed and properly submitted Application for
Payment, the amount will become due and when due will be paid by the City to the
Contractor. Any payment request that is disputed or determined to be improper will be
returned to the Contractor not later than 7 days after receipt accompanied by
documentation describing the reason(s) why the payment request is not proper.
ADD: 9-3.2.2 Amount of Progress Payments. Provided an undisputed and properly
submitted Application for Payment is received by the City, payment shall be made by
the City not later than thirtieth day after the City receives the application for Payment.
The City will pay the Contractor for Work performed through the period covered by the
application for Payment, less Retention as set forth in the Contract Documents,
provided that the payment amount before Retention will not exceed the percentage of
completion of the Work, all as set forth in the SOV.
ADD: 9-3.2.3 Waiver of Claims at Final Payment. Acceptance of Final Payment by
the Contractor shall constitute a waiver of affirmative Claims by the Contractor, except
those previously made in writing and identified as unsettled at the time of Final
Payment, which are expressly reserved by the Contractor from operation of its Release
of Claims pursuant to Public Contract Code 7100 or other Applicable Laws.
ADD: 9-3.2.4 Early Release of Subcontractor Retention. If a Subcontractor has
completed its portion of the Work, including all Punch List items, pursuant to any given
Subcontract, the Contractor may request the City to disburse the Retention allocable to
such Subcontractor, after delivering to the City acceptable releases from the
Subcontractor and consent to such disbursement from such Contractor’s Surety, in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the City. The City, at its sole discretion, may determine
that the Subcontractor's Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract
Documents, and may disburse the Subcontractor's share of Retention to the Contractor
for distribution to the Subcontractor. Regardless of whether the City has disbursed
Retention for the benefit of any Subcontractor, the 1 year warranty period with respect
to such Work shall commence at upon the filing of the NOC.

ADD: 9-3.2.5 Withholding of Payment. The City may withhold payment on account of
an Application for Payment to the extent necessary to protect the City from loss
because of:
a) Defective or incomplete Work not remedied;
b) A deductive Change Order;
c) Third Party Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such
Claims;
d) Failure of the Contractor to make payments of undisputed amounts to
Subconsultants or Subcontractors for labor, materials or equipment;
e) Damage to the City or a Separate Contractor caused by the fault or neglect of the
Contractor to the extent not covered by insurance;
f) Reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time
due to Inexcusable Delay, and that the unpaid balance of the Contract Price would
not be adequate to cover Liquidated Damages for the anticipated or actual
Unexcused Delay;
g) Persistent failure of the Contractor to perform the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents, including failure to maintain the progress of the Work in
accordance with the Construction Schedule. Persistent failure to maintain the
progress of the Work shall mean that for a period of two consecutive months
following a written notice from the Construction Manager, the Contractor fails to
correct a behind-schedule condition at a rate that would reasonably indicate that he
will finish the Project on schedule;
h) Disregard of authority of the Construction Manager of the laws of any public body
having jurisdiction; or
i) Stop payment notices, wage orders, or other withholdings required by Applicable
Law.
In addition to withholding 125% of the total of any stop payment notice received, the
City shall also apply an administrative fee of $250 for each valid stop payment notice
filed against the Contractor for failure to pay subcontractors, material suppliers or other
legally vested parties. Such administrative fee shall be applied as a credit to the City for
each and every valid stop notice filed, and shall be noted on a Change Order adjusting
the final contract payment otherwise due to the Contractor.
When all the above reasons for withholding payment are removed, payment shall be
made for amounts previously withheld. Prior to any withholding pursuant to this section,
the City will meet with the Contractor to discuss potential withholding, and attempt in
good faith to resolve such issue without the need for withholding.

interfere with the monitoring of the pedestrian signal. The input impedance of the
countdown circuitry shall maintain a voltage reading above 25 VAC to the conflict
monitor for up to four units connected on the same channel.
3. The countdown drive circuitry shall not be damaged when subjected to defective
load switches providing a half wave signal input.
4. The countdown ped module shall have an internal conflict monitor circuit
preventing any possible conflicts between the Hand, Person, and Countdown
signal indications. It shall be impossible for the display to countdown during a
solid Hand indication.
5. The countdown ped module shall have a micro-processor capable of recording
its own time when connected to a traffic controller.
6. The countdown ped module shall continuously monitor the traffic controller for
any changes to the pedestrian phase time and re-program itself automatically if
needed.
7. The countdown ped module shall register the time for the walk and clearance
intervals individually and shall begin counting down at the beginning of the
pedestrian clearance interval. The digits shall not flash during the countdown.
8. When the flashing hand becomes solid, the ped module shall display 0 for one
second and then blank-out. The display shall remain dark until the beginning of
the next countdown.
9. In the event of a pre-emption, the countdown ped module shall skip the
remaining time, reach 0 at the same time as the flashing Hand becomes solid,
and remain dark until the next cycle.
10. In the cycle following preemption call, the signal shall display the correct time and
not be affected by the reduced previous cycle. The countdown shall remain
synchronized with the signal indications and always reach 0 at the same time as
the flashing Hand becomes solid.
11. If a pedestrian button is activated during the clearance interval, some controllers
can change to a second walk cycle without a don’t walk phase. The countdown
module shall also be capable of consecutive walk cycles. The display digits will
be blank during the second walk and countdown properly during the second
flashing hand.
12. The countdown ped module shall not display an erroneous or conflicting time
when subjected to defective load switches. Should there be a short power
interruption during the ped clearance interval or if voltage is applied to both the
hand and person simultaneously the display will go to “0” then blank.

13. The countdown ped module shall have accessible dip-switches for the user
selectable options. The unit shall have a removable plug on the rear allowing
easy access to control the user selectable functions. The countdown is disabled
when all the switches are in the “ON” position. The unit shall be shipped from the
factory with the specified default setting.
14. Switch 1 – Blank Cycle Following a Timing Change – Factory default is “OFF”.
When this switch is “OFF” the unit will allow the time to be displayed normally
during the cycle following a truncated timing such as a preemption call. The
countdown shall be capable of displaying the correct time and not affected by the
previous reduced cycle. The unit will require 2 consecutive reduced cycles of
identical value to validate and record a new time setting. If the timing is
extended, the unit will record it immediately. In the “ON” position when a change
in timing is detected the unit will blank out during the following cycle while the
new cycle time is measured and recorded if confirmed.
15. Switch 2 – Disables Auto-sync Mode- Factory default setting is “OFF”. When this
switch is in the “OFF” position the auto-sync is enabled. When the clearance
interval begins and the initial flash of the hand is not in sync with the walk signal
the unit will measure the offset and reduce the duration of the first second by the
value of the offset. This will ensure the countdown reached zero at the same
time as the flashing hand becomes solid. In the “ON” position there is no time
correction when the flashing hand is in offset with the walk signal. The duration
of the first second will not be reduced and the hand will appear solid shortly
before the countdown reaches zero.
16. Switch 3 – Countdown Starts with Flashing Hand Signal – Factory default setting
is “ON”. When this switch is “ON” the countdown begins when the hand signal is
turned on. With this switch “ON” and the auto-sync mode enabled a short power
interruption will have no effect on the countdown display. With switch 3 in the
“OFF” position the countdown begins when the walk signal is turned off. This
eliminates the effect of an offset hand signal. When switch 3 is in the “OFF”
position the auto-sync switch 2 has no effect on the countdown. In this mode if
the power to the walk signal is interrupted, the unit will interpret this as the start
of the clearance interval and will display the countdown time for 2 seconds before
the operation is cancelled. The countdown will resume with the normal ending of
the walk signal.
17. Switch 4 – Stores Time Value in Memory, Immediate. Restart. - Factory default
