BACKGROUND
The medians along Via Princessa between Sierra Highway and Jason Drive were among the first
landscape and irrigation zones installed in the City of Santa Clarita (City) almost 30 years ago.
The original plant material and irrigation system has exceeded its useful operational life and the
existing red stamped concrete no longer complies with our current Citywide median design
standards.
The proposed Via Princessa project will remove existing median plant material and replace it
with plant material that requires significantly less water, replace the aging spray-head irrigation
system with more durable and water-efficient irrigation systems, replace the existing curb and
gutter, and install concrete pavers. This project is a component of the Citywide Major

This project exemplifies the City's commitment to maintaining the quality of life enjoyed by our
residents. Investing in high-quality landscaping projects within the public right-of-way helps
maintain higher property values and keeps the City on the cutting edge of water management.

1. BID RIGGING. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) provides a toll -free hotline to report bid
rigging activities. Use the hotline to report bid rigging, bidder collusion, and other fraudulent activities.
The hotline number is (800) 424-9071. The service is available 24 hours 7 days a week and is
confidential and anonymous. The hotline is part of the DOT's effort to identify and investigate highway
construction contract fraud and abuse and is operated under the direction of the DOT Inspector
General.
2. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS. In the event that any bidder acting as a prime contractor has an
interest in more than one proposal, all such proposals will be rejected, and the bidder will be
disqualified. This restriction does not apply to subcontractors or suppliers who may submit quotations
to more than one bidder and, while doing so, may also submit a formal bid as a prime contractor.
Proposals will be accepted from bidders who are not licensed in accordance with the provisions of the
State Business and Professions Code; however, the successful bidder shall be licensed in accordance
with provisions of the Business and Professions Code and shall possess a State General Engineering
Contractor's license A or C27 at the time a contract for this work is awarded. Any bidder which has
been debarred by any PUBLIC City in the last ten (10) years is deemed not to be a qualified bidder for
the purposes of this project.
The City may conduct investigations as it deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any bid and
to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial ability of the bidder to do the work in
accordance with the Contract Documents to the City's satisfaction within the prescribed time. To
determine the degree of responsibility to be credited to the bidder, the City will weigh any evidence
including but not limited to evidence of suspension, debarment, exclusion, or determination of
ineligibility by any other City. Any bidder which is currently debarred by any public agency is deemed
not to be a qualified bidder for the purposes of this project.
If in the opinion of the City, a bidder is determined to be insufficiently qualified, then that bid will not
be considered for award of the contract.

Relations for similar classifications of labor, the bidder and subcontractors shall pay not less than
the higher wage rate.

of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Sec 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 commencing with B-12
Section 16700, of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of
goods, services, or materials pursuant to the public works contract or the subcontract. This
assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final payment
to the bidder, without further acknowledgment by the parties.
6. CHANGED CONDITIONS.
6.1. Differing Site Conditions
6.1.1. During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered
at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or if unknown physical
conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and
generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, are encountered
at the site, the party discovering such conditions shall promptly notify the other party in
writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the
affected work is performed.
6.1.2.Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is
determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the
cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment,
excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly.
SSPWC (Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction) of the contract is warranted.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 99F55CB5-6088-4253-B34A-AOC0057C5C29
6.1.3.No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless
the contractor has provided the required written notice.
6.1.4.No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on
unchanged work. (This provision may be omitted by the Local Agency, at their option.)
6.2. Suspensions of Work Ordered by the Engineer
6.2.1.If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer
in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or
inherent to the construction industry) and the contractor believes that additional
compensation and/or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the
contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar
days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and
support for such adjustment.
6.2.2.Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the engineer agrees that
the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result
of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and
not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not
caused by weather, the engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the
contract in writing accordingly. The contractor will be notified of the engineer's
determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
6.2.3.No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the contractor has submitted the request for
adjustment within the time prescribed.
6.2.4.No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance
would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is
provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.
6.3. Significant Changes in the Character of Work
6.3.1.The engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such
changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily
complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the
contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered.
6.3.2.If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work
under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant
changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to
become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will
be made to the contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the
performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made
either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair
and equitable.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 99F55CB5-6088-4253-B34A-AOC0057C5C29
6.3.3.If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the
work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided
elsewhere in the contract.
6.3.4.The term "significant change" shall be construed to apply only to the following
circumstances:
6.3.4.1. When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature
from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or
6.3.4.2. When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in
excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity.
Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of
12S percent of original contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75
percent, to the actual amount of work performed.
7. QUALITY ASSURANCE. The Agency uses a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) to ensure a material is
produced to comply with the Contract. You may examine the records and reports of tests the Agency
performs if they are available at the job site. Schedule work to allow time for QAP.
S. TAXES. No mention shall be made in the proposal of Sales Tax, Use Tax, or any other tax, as all amounts
bid will be deemed and held to include any such taxes which may be applicable.
9. NONDISCRIMINATION. In the performance of this Contract, bidder shall not discriminate in
recruiting, hiring, promotion, demotion, or termination practices on the basis of race, religious
creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, or physical handicap and shall comply with the
provisions of the California Fair Employment & Housing Act (Government Code Section 12900, et
seq.), the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (P.L. 88-352) and all amendments thereto, Executive Order
No. 11246 (30 Federal Register 12319), and all administrative rules and regulations issued pursuant
to said Acts and Order. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of Title 49 CFR (Code
of Federal Regulations) part 26 in the award and administration of US DOT assisted contracts.
Bidder shall likewise require each subcontractor to comply with this paragraph and shall include in
each such subcontract language similar to this paragraph. Failure by the contractor to carry out
these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this
contract or such other remedy, as the recipient deems appropriate
10. SPECIAL PROVISIONS. Failure of the bidder to fulfill the requirements of the Special Provisions for
submittals required to be furnished after bid opening, including but not limited to escrowed bid
documents, where applicable, may subject the bidder to a determination of the bidder's responsibility
in the event it is the apparent low bidder on a future public works contracts.

Responsible Person (LRP), the City is liable for all areas of soil disturbance associated
with the project. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for substantially stabilizing
ALL disturbed soil associated with the project with a method approved by the AGENCY.
Where there is a potential to exceed one acre of disturbed soil (e.g. staging area), the
CONTRACTOR shall install temporary fencing to contain ALL activities within a one -
acre or less area. Any area outside of the one -acre disturbed by the CONTRACTOR,
shall be stabilized by the CONTRACTOR immediately using a method approved by the
AGENCY. Failure to reduce the disturbed area to one acre or less may cause significant
delays to the project schedule, in addition to significant financial penalties.
The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the costs and liabilities imposed by law as a
result of the CONTRACTOR's failure to comply with the requirements specified
including, but not limited to, compliance with the applicable provisions of the CASQA
Construction BMP Factsheets, and Federal, State, and local regulations. Costs and
liabilities include, but are not limited to, fines, penalties, and damages whether assessed
against the City of Santa Clarita or the CONTRACTOR, including those levied under the
Federal Clean Water Act and the State Porter Cologne Water Quality Act.
In addition to the remedies authorized by law, an amount of the money due the
CONTRACTOR under the Contract, as determined by the Agency, may be retained by
the Agency until disposition has been made of the costs and liabilities.

stabilization practices and sediment control measures to protect soil -disturbed areas
associated with the Project before the onset of precipitation (NOAA forecast of > 50
percent). A quantity of soil stabilization and sediment control materials shall be
maintained on site equal to 100 percent of that sufficient to protect unstabilized, soil -
disturbed areas on the Project site. BMPs required to protect unstabilized, soil -disturbed
areas on the Project site shall be installed and/or implemented no later than 24-hours prior
a forecast storm event.
Disturbed -soil areas on the Project site shall be considered to be non -active when those
areas have been disturbed and are not scheduled to be re -disturbed for at least 7 Days.
Effective soil cover shall be provided during this condition which includes; finished
slopes, open space, utility backfill, and completed lots or building pads.
Active disturbed -soil areas of the Project site shall be stabilized as much as possible and
receive sediment control. The weather forecast shall be monitored by the
CONTRACTOR on a daily basis. The National Weather Service forecast shall be used.
The CONTRACTOR shall implement throughout the duration of the Project, BMPs
included in the BMP Plan for tracking control, wind erosion control, non -storm water
control, and waste management and material pollution control.

A TIA submittal shall be submitted when the Contractor or Engineer identifies an
occurrence that potentially impacts the Critical Path and delays progress of the Work.
The TIA submittal shall be submitted in accordance with 3-8 and shall include the
following:
a) Narrative Report.
A report that defines the scope and conditions of an occurrence specified in 6-
1.1.4.1; type of delay as defined in 6-1.1.4.3; provides start and finish dates of
impact; provides predecessor and successor activities to the impact period;
identifies the party responsible for the occurrence; and describes how the
occurrence originated and how it impacts the schedule.
b) Schedules.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 99F55CB5-6088-4253-B34A-AOC0057C5C29
1) Un-impacted Schedule — The Monthly Schedule Update that has a Data
Date closest to and prior to the occurrence. If the Engineer determines
that the schedule update submitted does not appropriately represent the
conditions prior to the occurrence, the schedule update shall be updated
to the day before the occurrence being analyzed. Schedule updates,
modifications, and changes shall be listed in the narrative report.
2) Impacted Schedule — The schedule developed from incorporating the
occurrence into the un-impacted schedule by adding or deleting
activities, or by changing durations or logic of existing activities.
Schedule updates, modifications, and changes shall be listed in the
narrative report.
c) The Contractor shall submit a TIA within 10 Working Days of receiving a
written request for a TIA from the Engineer.
d) For a claimed delay in completion of the Work, the im-impacted and impacted
schedules shall be modified to account for as -built events known to occur after
the Data Date.
e) If the impacted schedule shows that the Critical Path and Scheduled Completion
Date are affected by the occurrence, the difference between Scheduled
Completion Dates of the un-impacted and impacted schedules, minus any
remaining Project Float, must be equal to the request for adjustment of the
Contract time of completion. No time of completion extensions will be granted
unless a delay occurs which first consumes all available Project Float and extends
the Scheduled Completion Date beyond the Required Completion Date.
f) All TiAs must include mitigation measures and must apportion the overall delay
assignable to any individual delays. The associated narrative report must clearly
describe findings in chronological order.
g) Subsequent Monthly Schedule Updates shall include changes related to a TIA
that has been accepted by the Engineer. Schedule updates shall not include
changes related to a rejected TIA, or a TIA that is pending review.
6-1.1.4.3 Types of Delay.
The TIA shall identify the type of delay as follows:
a) Excusable and Compensable Delay - Delay for which the Agency is the sole
proximate cause. The Contractor must not have been delayed for any other
reason during that time period.
b) Excusable and Non-compensable Delay - Delay caused from unforeseen events
as defined in 6-4.1.
c) Inexcusable and Non-compensable Delay - Delay caused by the fault or
