MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Daniel Kim, City Engineer/Public Works Director
DATE: 01/15/2025 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Plans and Specifications (Specification No. MPK 24-01 and
Moorpark Drawing No. 24-ML-11112), Authorization to Advertise for
Construction Bids, and Authorization to Request for Proposals for
Construction Management Services for the High Street Improvement

SUMMARY
Staff is requesting that City Council consider the Plans and Specifications for the High
Street Improvement Project (C0009), Specification No. MPK 24-01 and Drawing No. 24-
ML-11112, for review, approval, and authorization of project advertisement to obtain
construction bids. The proposed scope of work consists of the construction of
approximately 1,100 feet of frontage improvements along High Street, between
Moorpark Avenue and Magnolia Street. The proposed improvements include new
sidewalk, curb and gutter, landscape and irrigation improvements, street furnishings,
decorative flatwork, pedestrian safety improvements, electrical improvements, and
pavement rehabilitation.
BACKGROUND
On April 29, 2020, the City Council authorized staff to allocate remaining funds from Tax
Allocation Bonds issued in 2006 to undertake capital improvement projects that benefit
the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Project Area (Attachment 1). The approved
and appropriated allocation of funds, at the time (Fiscal Year 2020/21), were as follows:
Item: 9.A.

Honorable City Council

Page 2
Project Description Amount
Millard Drain – Capital Professional Services $250,000
High Street Streetscape – Infrastructure $1,420,000
High Street Streetscape – Capital Professional Services $80,000
Sidewalk Rehabilitation for RDA Project Area – Infrastructures $273,324
Total $2,023,324
The Sidewalk Rehabilitation for the Redevelopment Agency Project Area (CIP M0050)
was completed in 2022.
On October 7, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-3949, approving
Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2018-01 for a residential, mixed-use
development located at 226 High Street, also known as the High Street Depot project.
Along with the 79 residential units and 13,628 square feet of commercial space, the
proposed development’s landscaping and architecture will enhance and improve public
and private spaces along the south side of High Street, specifically between Moorpark
Avenue and Magnolia Street.
The High Street Depot development project provides the City with a unique opportunity
to work and collaborate with the Daly Group (developer) to fulfill the City Council’s goal
to undertake a High Street Streetscape Improvement Project. City staff has been
working closely with its consultant and the Daly Group to develop the High Street
Improvement Project and to ensure that the streetscape improvements are consistent
with the approved entitlement plans. The proposed project seeks to extend the private
development improvements of the High Street Depot project onto the streetscape and
public right-of-way. The street improvements will include pavement rehabilitation,
landscape enhancements, decorative flatwork, improved pedestrian facilities, street
furnishings, and electrical improvements that will be consistent with the approved
design and architecture of the High Street Depot Project.
DISCUSSION
On May 3, 2023, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to
Stantec Consulting Service, Inc. to provide professional engineering and design
services for the High Street Improvement Project, CIP C0009. City staff and Stantec
Consulting have been working closely with the Daly Group to prepare project plans and
specifications for the following scope of improvements:
• Approximately 1,100 feet of new sidewalks, curb, and gutter.
• Street pavement rehabilitation including AC overlay, signing, and
pavement striping improvements.

Honorable City Council
01/15/2025 Regular Meeting

• Enhance bicycle safety improvements and facilities.
• Reconstruction of the intersections at Bard Street and Walnut Street to
include bulb-outs and pedestrian safety improvements.
• Streetscape improvements including landscape, irrigation, decorative
flatwork, and furnishings (benches, bike racks, trash receptacles, etc.) that
are consistent with the High Street Depot architecture.
• Street lighting and electrical improvements.
• Utility infrastructure improvements including storm drainage and domestic
water.
As previously mentioned, the Project Plans and Specifications were prepared to be
consistent and in substantial conformance to the design concepts and elements
approved by the City Council for the High Street Depot project. In addition to
constructing much needed street improvements to High Street, staff and the design
team had two major project goals:
1. Maintain a uniform design that is both consistent with the original,
approved intent and congruent so that there is no distinction between
private property and the public right-of-way.
2. Provide pedestrian connectivity between both sides of High Street to
“activate” the downtown experience for pedestrians, residents,
businessowners, commuters, and retail patrons.
Community Outreach
City staff hosted two High Street Improvements Community Meetings on August 5 & 6,
2024 to introduce the project and give the community an opportunity to provide
feedback. Attachment 2 contains the community flyer that advertised the meeting and
provides an illustrative summary of the design elements that have been incorporated
into the streetscape improvements. Additionally, staff created a dedicated webpage to
solicit comments and feedback from community members that were not able to attend
the in-person, hosted community meetings. The webpage contains much of the same
information that was presented in the in-person meetings and gives the community
another opportunity to provide feedback to staff. The main, consistent feedback staff
received from the community is for wayfinding and signage improvements that provide
parking and destination information. The proposed scope of work for the High Street
Improvement Project does not include wayfinding and signage improvements for
parking. Those specific concerns and improvements will be addressed as part of the
Downtown Specific Plan Update or implemented independently as a separate project.

Plans and Specification
Attached for the City Council’s consideration for review and approval are the Plans and
Specifications for the High Street Improvement Project. The City Engineer has
reviewed the Plans and Specifications for the project and has determined that the
documents were prepared in accordance with reasonable, professional engineering
judgement, and with due consideration for public safety. The Parks and Recreation
Director has reviewed the landscape and irrigation improvement drawings and has
determined that they are in conformance with City Landscape Standards for High
Street. Staff is requesting that the City Council review and approve the Plans and
Specifications, authorize staff to advertise the project for construction bids, and
authorize staff to prepare and advertise a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Construction
Engineering Services.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does
not constitute a project, as defined by Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff will return to City Council for construction bid award and schedule. The project is
identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Program as CIP C0009. The current
funding allocation for the project is $1,383,156 and is funded by the Tax Allocation
Bonds issued in 2006. Staff and Stantec Consulting estimates the construction cost to
be approximately $1,771,500. Public Works and Finance staff will work together to
determine additional funding sources for the construction of the High Street

Improvement Project. Any new funding appropriation requests will be presented to the
City Council for consideration once bids have been received and a construction contract
is scheduled to be awarded.

Construction Contract Estimate $2,076,573.50
Construction Contingency (10%) $207,657.00

Construction Engineering (15%) $311,486.00
Total Construction Phase Cost Estimate $2,803,373.50

omissions, the bidder may submit to the City Engineer a written request for an
interpretation or a correction thereof. Interpretations or corrections of the Contract
Documents shall be made only by addendum duly issued by the City Engineer. A copy
of such addendum will be mailed or delivered to each potential bidder receiving a set of
the Contract Documents. Such addendum shall be considered a part of, and
incorporated, into the Contract Documents.

All timely requests for information submitted in writing will receive a written response from
the City. Timely requests are those in which the City, in its sole judgment, can reasonably
respond to before bid closing. Telephone communications with city staff are not
encouraged, but will be permitted. However, any such verbal communication shall not be
binding on the City. No inquiries will be accepted later than five (5) business days prior
to the bid opening date.
Sales Tax Reimbursements – For sales occurring within the City of Moorpark, the City is
reimbursed a portion of the sales tax paid. Therefore, for bids from retail firms located in
the City of Moorpark at the time of bid closing, for which sales tax is allocated to the City
of Moorpark, 1% of the taxable amount of the bid will be deducted from the bid by the City
in the calculation and determination of the lowest responsible bid (the 1% being the same
percentage reimbursed to the City on the taxable amount of all purchases occurring within
the City). In order to receive the 1% adjustment for sales tax reimbursed to the City, bids
from contractors who intend to purchase taxable materials, supplies, or services in the
City of Moorpark must indicate in the bid submittal the amount of sales tax which is to be
deducted from the bid. Additionally, when a contractor's bid receives such an adjustment
and becomes the lowest responsible bid, the contract amount will be reduced by the
amount of the sales tax reimbursement indicated in the bid submittal. The Contractor will
subsequently be reimbursed the amount deducted upon submission and verification of
source documentation of the purchase of taxable materials, supplies, or services in the
City of Moorpark in accordance with the bid submittal. In no case, however, shall the
Contractor be reimbursed an amount greater than the amount of the adjustment indicated
in the bid submittal. Contractors who furnish their own supplies or materials and calculate
a tax paid to them are not eligible for the sales tax adjustment since the sales tax is
allocated to the County and not the City.
Bidder's Bond Requirement – Bidders shall provide a properly executed Bidder's Bond
(contained herein), cashier's check, or other bidder's security payable to the City of
Moorpark to accompany the Proposal in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the total bid.
The proceeds thereof will become the property of the City if the bidder fails to or refuses
to execute the contract within ten (10) calendar days after the City has notified the bidder
of intent to award the bid or within ten (10) calendar days after notice of the award has
been sent by mail to the bidder, whichever occurs first. Additionally, the proceeds of the
bidder's bond will become the property of the City if the bidder fails to or refuses to furnish
satisfactory bonds or evidence of insurance required in the contract construction
documents within ten (10) days after the bid has been awarded. The bond shall be
sufficient and duly executed by a surety admitted to do business in the State of California.
All bid bonds or substitutes therefore will be returned upon timely execution of the
23
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
12
Contract and the filing of satisfactory insurance certifications and bonds by successful
bidder.
Bid Submission – Each bid must be submitted on the form(s) provided in the Proposal.
The Proposal shall be enclosed in an envelope which shall be sealed and addressed to
the City Clerk, City of Moorpark, 323 Science Drive, Moorpark, California 93021. In order
to guard against premature opening, the Proposal shall be clearly labeled with the bid
title, name of bidder, and date and time of bid opening. If proposal is delivered to the
City via Express Delivery, or other priority mail service, the above information must
also be included on the outside shipment envelope.
Submission of One Bid Only – No individual, or business entity of any kind, shall be
allowed to make or file or to be interested in more than one bid, except an alternative bid
when specifically requested. However, an individual who has quoted prices on materials
to a bidder submitting a Proposal is not thereby disqualified from quoting prices to other
bidders submitting proposals.
Bid Withdrawal – A bidder may withdraw its Proposal without prejudice prior to the time
specified for the bid opening by submitting a written request to the City Clerk for its
withdrawal. If this occurs, the Proposal will be returned to the bidder unopened. No
proposal received after the time specified or at any place other than the place stated in
the Notice Inviting Bids will be considered. All bids will be opened and declared publicly.
Bidders, or their representatives, are invited to be present at the opening of the bids.
Bid Quotes and Unit Price Extensions – The extensions of unit prices for the quantities
indicated and the lump sum prices quoted by the bidder must be entered in figures in the
spaces provided on the Bid Submission Form(s). The Bid Submission Form(s) must be
totally completed. If the unit price and the total amount stated by any bidder for any item
are not in agreement, the unit price alone will be considered as representing the bidder's
intention and the total will be corrected to conform to the specified unit price.
Bid Retention and Award – The City reserves the right to retain all proposals for a period
of 90 days after the bid opening date for examination and comparison. The City also
reserves the right to determine and waive unsubstantial irregularities in any proposal, to
reject any or all proposals, to reject one part of a proposal and accept the other, except
to the extent that the proposals are qualified by specific limitations, and to make award to
the lowest responsible bidder as the interest of the City may require.
Labor Actions – In the event that the successful bidder is experiencing a labor action at
the time of the award of the bid (or if its suppliers or subcontractors are experiencing such
24
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
13
a labor action), the City reserves the right to declare said bidder is no longer the lowest
responsible bidder and may accept the next acceptable low bid from a bidder that is not
experiencing a labor action and declare it to be the lowest responsive and responsible
bidder.
Contract Requirement – The bidder to whom award is made, or notice of intent is given,
shall execute a written contract with the City within ten (10) calendar days after notice of
the award has been sent by mail to the address given in the Proposal or within ten (10)
calendar days after receipt by bidder of oral communication of the intent to award,
whichever occurs first. The Contract shall be made in the form adopted by the City and
incorporated in these specifications. The bidder warrants that bidder possesses, or has
arranged through subcontracts, all capital and other equipment, labor and materials to
carry out and complete the work hereunder in compliance with all Federal, State, County,
City and Special District Laws, Ordinances, and Regulations which are applicable; and
further, bidder shall comply with all Federal, State, County, City and Special District Laws,
Ordinances, and Regulations which are applicable.
Failure to Accept Contract – If upon notification of intent to award the bid by the City, the
bidder fails to enter into the Contract within the specified time period, the pending award
will be cancelled. Any bid security will be forfeited in accordance with these Bid Terms
and Conditions if a bidder's bond or security is required. An award may be made to the
next lowest responsible bidder who shall fulfill every term and condition of the bid.
Business Registration – The City's Business Registration Ordinance requires that a
Business Registration Receipt be obtained before any business, trade, profession,
enterprise, establishment, occupation, or calling is conducted within the City. Additional
information regarding the City's Business Registration program may be obtained by
calling (805) 517-6200.
Faithful Performance Bond Requirement – The bidder to whom the Contract is awarded
(Contractor) shall execute the Contract and furnish a surety bond in the amount of 100%
of the Contract bid price guaranteeing the faithful performance of the Contract. The bond
shall remain in force for a period of one year after the date of recordation of Notice of
Completion by City. The bond shall be sufficient and duly executed by a surety admitted
to do business in the State of California.
Material Suppliers and Laborer Bond Requirement – The Contractor shall furnish a surety
bond by an admitted surety in the amount of 100% of the Contract bid price to secure the
payment of claims for materials and labor provided by others in performing the work. The
25
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
14
bond shall be sufficient and duly executed by a surety admitted to do business in the
State of California.
Antitrust Claims – In accordance with Section 4552 of the Government Code, in
submitting a bid to a public purchasing body, the bidder offers and agrees that if the bid
is accepted, it will assign to the purchasing body all rights, title, and interest in and to all
causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 15) or
under the Cartwright Act [Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of
Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code], arising from purchases of goods,
materials or services by the bidder for sale to the purchasing body pursuant to the bid.
Such assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the purchasing body
tenders final payment to the bidder. 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.
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.
Prevailing Wages and Minority Group Skill Upgrade and Employment – Bidders are
hereby notified that pursuant to the provisions of the California Labor Code, the California
Department of Industrial Relations has ascertained the general prevailing rate of per diem
wages and the general prevailing rate for legal holiday and overtime work in the locality
in which this work is to be performed for each craft, classification, or type of worker
needed to execute the Contract. Such wage scale is set forth at length in a Schedule of
Prevailing Rates of Wages that is on file at the California Department of Industrial
Relations and is available at:
https://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm
The published prevailing wage rates that the Contractor shall pay are hereby incorporated
in and made a part these Bid Terms and Conditions.
The bidder, to whom the Contract is awarded, shall assist in locating, qualifying, hiring,
and increasing the skills of minority group employees and applicants for employment, as
set forth in Executive Orders 11246 and 11375.
26
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
15
The California Department of Industrial Relations current wage rates shall apply for this
project. The wage rate for any classification not listed by the California Department of
Industrial Relations, but which may be required to execute the Contract, shall be in accord
with specified rates for similar or comparable classifications or for those performing similar
or comparable duties, within the Agencies’ determinations.
Public Records Act – All information contained in the Proposal, and the Proposal itself, is
public information once opened, unless it is bona fide trade secret information and is
labeled as such. Any California Public Records Act request for information labeled as a
trade secret shall be forwarded to the bidder for legal defense. Failure on the part of the
bidder to promptly defend against any such request or action shall be deemed an
unqualified waiver of the confidentiality of all trade secret information in the Proposal.
Recycled Purchase Requirement – Bidders are hereby notified that pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 22150 – 22154 of the California Pubic Contract Code, the City is
required to purchase recycled products, as defined in Section 12200 of the same Code,
if the product fitness and quality are equal to the non-recycled product and available at
the same or a lesser total cost than non-recycled items. Bidders shall offer products and
prices to the City that meets these requirements.
Accuracy of Specifications – The specifications and the plans for this project are believed
by the City to be accurate and to contain neither misrepresentation nor any concealment
of any material fact. Bidders are cautioned to undertake an independent analysis of any
test results in the specifications, as the City does not guarantee the accuracy of its
interpretation of test results contained in the bid package. In preparing its proposal, bidder
and all subcontractors named in bidder's proposal shall bear sole responsibility for bid
preparation errors resulting from any misstatements or omissions in the plans and
specifications, which could have been ascertained by examining either the project site or
accurate test data in the City's possession.
Although the effect of ambiguities or defects in the plans and specifications will be as
determined by law, any patent ambiguity or defect shall give rise to a duty of bidder to
inquire prior to bid submission. Failure to so inquire shall cause any such ambiguity or
defect to be construed against the bidder and/or waiver of any defect by the bidder. An
ambiguity or defect shall be considered patent if it is of such a nature that the bidder,
assuming reasonable skill, ability, and diligence on bidder's part, knew or should have
known of the existence of the ambiguity or defect. Furthermore, failure of the bidder or
subcontractors to notify City in writing of bid specifications or plans defects or ambiguities
prior to bid submission shall waive any right to assert said defects or ambiguities
subsequent to submission of the bid.

Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
16
To the extent that these specifications constitute Performance Specifications, the City
shall not be liable for costs incurred by the successful bidder to achieve the project's
objective or standard beyond the amounts provided therefore in the bid.
In the event that, after awarding the bid, any dispute arises as a result of any actual or
alleged ambiguity or defect in the plans and/or specifications, or over any other matter
whatsoever, Contractor shall immediately notify City in writing and Contractor and all
subcontractors shall continue to perform, irrespective of whether or not the ambiguity or
defect is major, material, minor or trivial, and irrespective of whether or not a change
order, time extension, or additional compensation has been granted by City. Failure to
provide the hereinbefore described written notice within one (1) working day of
Contractor's becoming aware of the facts giving rise to the dispute shall constitute a
waiver of the right to assert the causative role of the defect or ambiguity in the plans or
specifications concerning the dispute.

10. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS
Contractor hereby assumes liability for and agrees to defend (at Indemnitees’
option), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City and its Project Contractors, and
engineers, officers, agents, and employees (“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all
claims, charges, damages, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, stop notices, costs,
expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, civil fines and penalties, liabilities of any
kind or nature whatsoever, which may be sustained or suffered by or secured against the
Indemnitees arising out of or encountered in connection with this Agreement or the
performance of the work including, but not limited to, death of or bodily injury to persons
or damage to property, including property owned by or under the care and custody of
City, and for civil fines and penalties, that may arise from or be caused, in whole or in
part, by any negligent or other act or omission of Contractor, its officers, agents,
employees, or subcontractors including but not limited to, liability arising from:
a) Any dangerous, hazardous, unsafe, or defective condition of, in or on the
premises, of any nature whatsoever, which may exist by reason of any act, omission,
neglect, or any use or occupation of the premises by Contractor, its officers, agents,
employees, or subcontractors;
b) Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of the premises by
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors under or pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement or otherwise;
c) Any act, omission, or negligence of Contractor, its officers, agents,
employees, or subcontractors;
d) Any failure of Contractor, its officers, agents, or employees to comply with
any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any applicable federal, state,
regional, or municipal law, ordinance, rule or regulation; and
e) The conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions, or
negligence referred to in Subsections a, b, c, and d, existing or conducted upon or

Contractor’s obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense,
judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an
Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this
Agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for
liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is
determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent
jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where
City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the
obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of City.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth here in this Section from each and every subcontractor or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Contractor in the performance
of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from
others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms
of this Section.
Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no
additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.
This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding on the successors,
assigns, or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or
Section.
This Indemnity shall survive termination of the Agreement or Final Payment
hereunder. This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the
Indemnitees may have under the law or under any other Contract Documents or
Agreements. In the event of any claim or demand made against any party which is entitled
to be indemnified hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain, or apply any
monies to the Contractor under this Agreement for the purpose of resolving such claims;
provided, however, City may release such funds if the Contractor provides City with
reasonable assurance of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in its sole
discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

Agreement, insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.

City nor any of its officers, employees, or agents shall have control over the conduct of
Contractor or any of Contractor’s officers, employees, or agents, except as set forth in

of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officers, employees, or agents of
the City. Contractor shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation, or
liability against City, or bind City in any manner.

performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Contractor as provided in the
Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Contractor for
performing services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or
indemnification to Contractor for injury or sickness arising out of performing services
hereunder.
13. LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Contractor shall keep itself informed of local, state, and federal laws and
regulations which in any manner affect those employed by it or in any way affect the
performance of its service pursuant to this Agreement. The Contractor shall at all times
observe and comply with all such laws and regulations. The City, and its officers and
employees, shall not be liable at law or in equity occasioned by failure of the Contractor
to comply with this Section.
14. ANTI DISCRIMINATION
Neither the Contractor, nor any subcontractor under the Contractor, shall
discriminate in employment of persons upon the work because of race, religious creed,
color, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, medical condition, marital status, or
gender of such person, except as provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code.
The Contractor shall have responsibility for compliance with this Section [Labor Code
Section 1735].
15. UNDUE INFLUENCE
Contractor declares and warrants that no undue influence or pressure is used
against or in concert with any officer or employee of the City in connection with the award,
terms, or implementation of this Agreement, including any method of coercion,
confidential financial arrangement, or financial inducement. No officer or employee of the
City will receive compensation, directly or indirectly from Contractor, or any officer,
employee, or agent of Contractor, in connection with the award of this Agreement or any
work to be conducted as a result of this Agreement. Violation of this Section shall be a

EXHIBIT A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Contractor will
maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will
use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does
not meet the requirements set forth here, it will be amended to do so. Contractor
acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section
constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available
to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this Agreement and which is
applicable to a given loss, will be available to the City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
1. Commercial General Liability
Commercial General Liability Insurance shall be provided by an Insurance
Services Office “Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the exact
equivalent. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross
liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits shall be no
less than $5,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $10,000,000
general aggregate.
Contractor’s policy shall contain no endorsements limiting coverage beyond the
basic policy coverage grant for any of the following:
a. Explosion, collapse or underground hazard (XCU)
b. Products and completed operations
c. Pollution liability
d. Contractual liability
Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of contractors,
subcontractors, or others involved in the project. Policy shall be endorsed to provide a
separate limit applicable to this project.
2. Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ Compensation insurance shall be provided on a state-approved policy
form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employers’ liability limits no less
than $1,000,000 per accident for all covered losses.
70
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
59
3. Business Auto Coverage
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92
including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent shall be provided. Limits shall be
no less than $1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. If Contractor owns no
vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the
general liability policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor’s employees will use
personal autos in any way on this project, Contract shall provide evidence of personal
auto liability coverage for each such person.
4. Excess or Umbrella Liability
Excess or Umbrella Liability insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying
coverages. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs
payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding
coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable
to City for injury to employees of contractor, subcontractors, or others involved in the
Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to the approval of city following receipt
of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review.
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers
that are admitted carriers in the state of California and with A.M. Best rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size of VII.
Contractor and City agrees as follows:
1. Contractor agrees to endorse the third party general liability coverage required
herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees, agents, using
standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition date of 1985. Contractor
also agrees to require all contractors, subcontractors, and anyone else involved in
any way with the project contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
2. Any waiver of subrogation express or implied on the part of the City to any party
involved in this Agreement or related documents applies only to the extent of
insurance proceeds actually paid. City, having required that it be named as an
additional insured to all insurance coverage required herein, expressly retains the
right to subrogate against any party for sums not paid by insurance. For its part,
Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the
applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors,
subcontractors, or others involved in any way with the project contemplated by this
Agreement to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Contractor or required of others
by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to delete the
subrogation condition as to the city, or to specifically allow Contractor or others
71
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
60
providing insurance herein to waive subrogation prior to a loss. This endorsement
shall be obtained regardless of existing policy wording that may appear to allow
such waivers.
4. It is agreed by Contractor and City that insurance provided pursuant to these
requirements is not intended by any party to be limited to providing coverage for
the vicarious liability of City, or to the supervisory role, if any, of City. All insurance
coverage provided pursuant to this or any other Agreement (express or implied) in
any way relating to City is intended to apply to the full extent of the policies
involved. Nothing referred to here or contained in any agreement involving City in
relation to the project contemplated by this Agreement is intended to be construed
to limit the application of insurance coverage in any way.
5. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification, and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make
any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or
reduction of discover period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior
written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of binders of
coverage, or endorsements, or certificates of insurance, shall be delivered to City
at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of insurance
is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled or reduced
at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not
the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under
this or any other Agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City
shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due
Contractor, at City option.
8. Contractor agrees to endorse, and to required others to endorse, the insurance
provided pursuant to these requirements, to require 30 days notice to City and the
appropriate tender prior to cancellation or reduction of such liability coverage and
notice of any material alteration or non-renewal of any such coverage, and to
require contractors, subcontractors, and any other party in any way involved with
the project contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, and any other party
involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary non-contributing basis in
relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to the City.
72
Specification No. MPK 24-01

Capital Improvement Project No. C0009

10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with
the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the
same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to
monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring
that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this
Agreement. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with
subcontractors and others engaged in this project will be submitted to City for
review.
11. Contractor agrees that all layers of third party liability coverage required herein,
primary, umbrella and excess, will have the same starting and expiration date.
Contractor agrees further that all other third party coverages required herein will
likewise have concurrent starting and ending dates.
12. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that
it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, architect, engineer, or other entity or
person in any way involved in the performance of Work on the project
contemplated by this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Contractor’s
existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or
self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall
review options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of
the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
13. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change
the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor 90 days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to City.
14. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, all contracts pertaining to the
project will be deemed to be executed when finalized and any activity commences
in furtherance of performance under this Agreement.
15. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part
of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in
no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder in this or any other regard.
16. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuance to
this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled
or terminated for any reason. The insurance shall include but not be limited to
products and completed operations and discontinued operations, where
73
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
62
applicable. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a
written statement to that effect.
17. Contractor agrees to waive its statutory immunity under any workers’
compensation statute or similar statute, in relation to the City, and to require all
subcontractors and any other person or entity involved in the project contemplated
by this Agreement to do likewise.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations on other
requirements or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given
policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification
only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to
be all-inclusive.
19. Any provision in any of the construction documents dealing with the insurance
coverage provided pursuant to these requirements, is subordinate to and
superseded by the requirements contained herein. These insurance requirements
are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement
and are intended by the parties to be interpreted as such.
20. All liability coverage provided according to these requirements must be endorsed
to provide a separate aggregate limit for the project that is the subject of this
Agreement and evidencing products and completed operations coverage for not
less than two years after issuance of a final certificate of occupancy by all
appropriate government agencies or acceptance of the completed work by City.
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party
involved in any way with the project reserves the right to change City or Contractor
for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any such
provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There
shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with
respect thereto.
22. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability
coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project through Contractor. City shall
determine the liability limit.

shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity 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 public entity and the claimant sharing
the associated costs equally. The public entity and claimant shall mutually agree to a
mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been
identified in writing. 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. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be
subject to applicable procedures outside this section.

(C) 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.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the
mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under
Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.
(E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes
under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation
under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute.
(3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time
periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this
section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied
by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to
otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse
finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the
claimant.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at
7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim
against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may
present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor.
A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a
lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed
by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The
subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish
reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written
request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the
contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not
present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having
done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications
for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy,
provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to
waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or
binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change
order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the
provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or
otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or
grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee
to meet its contractual obligations.

3-7 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
3-7.1.1 Accuracy of Specifications
The specifications and the plans for this project are believed by the City to be
accurate and to contain neither misrepresentation nor any concealment of any
material fact. Bidders are cautioned to undertake an independent analysis of any
materials, test data and results, if any, in the specifications. City does not
guarantee the accuracy of any interpretations of test data and results contained in
the specifications. Bidder and all subcontractors named in the Proposal shall bear
sole responsibility for bid errors resulting from misstatements or omissions in the
plans and specifications which would have been ascertained by examining either
the project site or the test data and results, if any, in the City’s possession.
Although the effect of ambiguities or defects in the plans and specifications will be
as determined by law, any patent ambiguity or defect shall give rise to a duty of
the bidder to inquire prior to bid submission. Failure to so inquire shall cause any
such ambiguity to be construed against the bidder and/or a waiver of any defect
by the bidder.
92
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
81
An ambiguity or defect shall be considered patent if it is of such a nature that the
bidder assuming reasonable skill, ability, and diligence, knew or should have
known of the existence of the ambiguity or defect. Furthermore, failure of the
bidder or subcontractors to notify City in writing of bid specifications or plans
defects or ambiguities prior to bid submission shall waive any right to assert said
defects or ambiguities subsequent to submission of the bid.
To the extent that these specifications continue performance specifications, the
City shall not be liable for costs incurred by the successful bidder to achieve the
project’s objective or standard beyond the amounts provided therefore in the bid.
In the event that any dispute arises after awarding the bid as a result of any actual
or alleged ambiguity or defect in the plans and/or specifications, or over any other
matter whatsoever, Contractor shall immediately notify City in writing. Contractor
and all subcontractors shall continue to perform whether or not the ambiguity or
defect is major, material, minor and trivial and whether or not a change order, time
extension, or additional compensation has been granted by the City. Failure to
provide such written notice within one working day of Contractor becoming aware
of the facts giving rise to the dispute shall constitute a waiver of the right to assert
the causative role of the defect or ambiguity in the plans or specifications
concerning the dispute.
3-8 SUBMITTALS
3-8.7 Bidders Required to Make Investigations
Bidders are required to make their own investigations and their own estimates of
the site. It is not intended nor to be inferred that the specifications are or constitute
any representation of warranty, express or implied, by the City of Moorpark or any
officer or employee, thereof, that any conditions which may seem to be indicated
by the specifications actually exist or are to be relied upon either with reference to
site or subsoil conditions, the presence or absence of groundwater, or otherwise.
The bidder to whom this Contract is awarded covenants and agrees by execution
of Contract that the specifications do not constitute any warranty or representation,
express or implied, respecting actual conditions which will be encountered by the
Contractor in performance of the Contract and that the Contractor cannot and does
not rely thereon and shall not be relieved of liability under the Contract. Neither the
City nor any officer or employee thereof shall be liable to the Contractor as a result
of any difference or variance between conditions suggested or seemingly indicated
by the specifications of the work or otherwise. It is the overriding purpose and
intent of the parties that the Contractor assumes all risks in connection with
performance of the work in accordance with the contract documents regardless of
any such difference or variance. The Contractor forever and irrevocably waives,
relinquishes and releases any claims, rights, demands, damages, actions and
93
Specification No. MPK 24-01

Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
82
causes of action in connection therewith against the City of Moorpark and its
officers and employees.
3-8.8 Additional Investigations Required
Prior to bid submittal, the Contractor must perform an independent site
investigation and by the bid represents that the Contractor has accomplished and
is satisfied as to the result of the investigation required under these Bid Terms and
Conditions. In addition thereto, the Contractor has investigated all other general
and local conditions pertaining to the work to be performed, the site of the work
and adjacent and nearby areas, including, but not limited to, those relating to
transportation, the disposal, handling and storage of materials, availability of labor,
water, electrical power, road and uncertainties of weather, all other physical
conditions at and near the site of the work to be performed by the Contractor,
including the conformation and conditions of the ground, and the character of
equipment and facilities needed prior to and during prosecution of the work. The
bidder to whom this Contract is awarded covenants and agrees by execution of
the Contract that the Contractor neither has nor shall have any claim, demand,
action or cause of action against the City of Moorpark, or any officer or employee
thereof, on account of or in respect to any such conditions, whether or not the
same are ascertained or known by the Contractor. It is the sole responsibility of
the Contractor to estimate properly the difficulties to be encountered in providing
necessary labor, quantities of material, and the cost of successfully performing the
Contractors work in conformity with the contract documents. Neither the City of
Moorpark nor any officer or employee thereof shall be responsible to the
Contractor, nor shall any claim, demand, action or cause or action exist or arise in
favor of the Contractor, on account of any oral statement or alleged representation
made by the City of Moorpark, or any officer or employee thereof, in respect to any
of the foregoing matters.
3-12 WORK SITE MAINTENANCE
3-12.2.1 Additional Air Pollution Control Requirement

55, Fugitive Dust (see Appendix D). Violations will be reported to the appropriate

83
Each internal combustion engine used for any purpose on the job, or related to the
job, shall be equipped with a muffler of a type recommended by the manufacturer.
No internal combustion engine shall be operated on the project without such
muffler.
The noise level from the Contractor's operations, between the hours of 9:00 p.m.
and 7:00 a.m., shall not exceed a maximum of 50 dba at a distance of 50 feet from
the source. This requirement in no way relieves the Contractor from responsibility
for complying with local ordinances regulating the noise level.
Said noise level requirement shall apply to all equipment on the job or related to
the job, including but not limited to trucks, transit mixers or transient equipment
that may or may not be owned by the Contractor. The use of loud signals shall be
avoided in favor of light warnings except those required by safety laws for the
protection of personnel.
Full compensation for conforming to the requirements of this section shall be
considered as included in the prices paid for the various contract items of work
involved and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.
3-13 COMPLETION, ACCEPTANCE, AND WARRANTY
3-13.1.1 No Waiver of Legal Rights
The City shall not be precluded or be stopped by any measurement, estimate, or
certificate made either before or after the completion and acceptance of the Work
and payment therefore from showing the true amount and character of the work
performed and materials furnished by the Contractor, nor from showing that any
such measurement, estimate, or certificate is untrue or is incorrectly made, nor that
the work or materials do not in fact conform to the Contract.
The City shall not be precluded or stopped, notwithstanding any such
measurement, estimate, or certificate and payment in accordance therewith, from
recovering from the Contractor or Surety, or both, for such damage as it may
sustain by reason of the Contractor's failure to comply with the terms of the
Contract.
Neither the acceptance by the Engineer or by the Engineer's representative nor
any payment for or acceptance of the whole or any part of the Work, nor any
extension of time, nor any possession taken by the Engineer shall operate as a
waiver of any portion of the Contract or of any power herein reserved or of any
right to damages.
A waiver of any breach of the Contract shall not be held to be a continuing waiver
or a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

3-13.2.1 Non-Complying Work
Neither the final payment nor any provision in the Contract Documents, nor partial
or entire occupancy of the premises by the City, nor recordation of Notice of
Completion by City shall constitute an acceptance of work not done in accordance
with the Contract Documents or relieve the Contractor of liability in respect to any
express warranties or responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship.
SECTION 5 – LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
5-3 LABOR
5-3.2.1 Labor Laws
Labor Code Concerning Forfeiture for Worker Required to Work Excess Hours
As provided in Section 1810 of the Labor Code, eight (8) hours shall constitute a
legal day's work, and as required by Section 1813 of the Labor Code, the
Contractor shall, as a penalty, forfeit to the City twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for
each worker employed in the execution of the Contract by the Contractor or by any
subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is required or
permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day or 40 hours
in any one calendar week.
Exception: Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1815, work performed by employees
of the Contractor and subcontractors in excess of eight (8) hours per day or 40
hours during any one week shall be permitted upon compensation for all hours
worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less than 1 1/2 times the basic
rate of pay.
Labor Code Concerning Forfeiture for Paying Less than Prevailing Wage Rate
The Contractor shall comply with all updates of the prevailing wage rates pursuant
to Section 1775 of the Labor Code. In accordance with Section 1775 and
subsequent amendments of the Labor Code, the Contractor shall forfeit as a
penalty to the City of Moorpark, not more than $50.00 for each calendar day or
portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for
such work or craft in which such worker is employed for any work done under the
Contract by the Contractor or by any subcontractor in violation of the provisions of
said resolution. In addition to said penalty and pursuant to the said Section 1775
and subsequent amendments, the difference between the stipulated prevailing
wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion
thereof for which each worker was paid less than the stipulated prevailing wage
rate shall be paid to each worker by the Contractor. Any sums forfeited under the
provisions of this section will be deducted from the payments under this Contract
by the City of Moorpark.
Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code, which reads as follows:
96
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
85
Neither the Contractor, nor any subcontractor under the Contractor, shall
discriminate in employment of persons upon the work because of race,
religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental
disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender,
gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or military and
veteran status of such person; or any other basis protected by applicable
federal, state, or local law, except as provided in Section 12940 of the
Government Code. The Contractor shall have responsibility for compliance
with this Section, if applicable [Labor Code Section 1735].
Attention is directed to Sections 1101 and 1102 of the Labor Code which prohibit
discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation, except as provided in
Section 1102.1 of the Labor Code.
Attention is also directed to the requirements of the California Fair Employment
and Housing Act (Government Code Sections 12900 through 12996 - Stat. 1980,
Chapter 992), to the regulations promulgated by the Fair Employment and Housing
Commission to implement said Act, and to the nondiscrimination, affirmative action
and equal employment opportunity requirements of these Specifications.
The Contractor or subcontractor shall comply with the Copeland "Anti-Kick Back"
Act (18 U.S.C. 874) as supplemented in the Department of Labor regulations (29
CFR, Part 3). This act provides that each contractor or subcontractor shall not
induce, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or
repair of public works, to give up any part of the compensation due that person.
Any suspected or reported violation will be reported to the appropriate Federal
Agency for proper action.
Attention is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 of the Labor
Code concerning the employment of apprentices by the Contractor or any
subcontractor.
The Contractor shall comply with the General Prevailing Wage determination made
by the Director of Industrial Relations, pursuant to California Labor Code, Division
2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 2.
Section 1777.5 requires the Contractor and subcontractors employing tradesmen
in any apprentice-able occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee
nearest the site of the public works project and which committee administers the
apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate

5-8 RECYCLING OF MATERIALS
Subsection 5-8 is hereby added to the Standard Specifications.
Construction and Demolition Ordinance
The City of Moorpark has adopted a Construction and Demolition (C&D) ordinance
requiring all demolition and city-sponsored projects, regardless of cost; new construction
projects valued over $500,000; or renovation projects valued over $100,000 to divert a
minimum of 65% of material generated during the project from disposal in a landfill
(through reuse or recycling). The City has created a Construction and Demolition
Materials Management Plan (C&DMMP) form to assist applicants to meet these diversion
requirements. You will be required to submit a Diversion Security Deposit of 3% of the
project valuation to the City to ensure compliance with the ordinance. The deposit will be
returned upon verification that you met the 65% diversion requirement. Also, a one-time
fee for staff time associated with processing your C&D plan will be charged. You have
two options to meet this requirement. You may use the City’s franchised hauler (Waste
Management) who can provide temporary bins and will dispose of your waste at a City
authorized facility. Or you may self-haul your waste to a city authorized certified C&D
processing facility. If you self-haul your waste you must use proper hauling vehicles and
bins owned by your company and those vehicles must be driven by your employees.
Please remember that because this project is a prevailing wage project, the driver of the
self-haul vehicle will need to be paid a prevailing wage rate for driving the C&D materials
to the authorized facility. You will need to submit itemized weigh tickets from each
facility documenting your C&D recycling and disposal that indicates the weight and
type of material recycled or disposed. These weigh tickets will need to be turned in to
the Solid Waste Division and verified prior to final payment release for the job and
refund of your C&D diversion security deposit. If diversion requirements are not met, the
City will retain the deposit. Please contact the Solid Waste Division at 805-517-6241 with
questions about the C&D ordinance or about how to obtain the forms and documentation
requirements.

The tack coat shall be asphalt grade PG 64-10.
910-3 APPLICATION
The tack coat shall be applied as specified in Subsection 302-5.4 of the Standard
Specifications and these Special Provisions. The Engineer will determine if the pavement
is sufficiently dry for the application of the tack coat. Tack coat shall not be applied when
the temperature of the surface to be tacked is below 40° Fahrenheit in the shade.
Contractor shall clean the surfaces so that they are free of dirt and debris prior to the
application of the tack coat. City Inspector shall approve surface prior to application of
tack coat. The tack coat shall be applied only so far in advance of paving as is anticipated
for that day's surfacing as permitted by the City Inspector. Any heated, scarified,
recompacted, pavement that is not overlaid and which becomes contaminated with dirt,
debris, dust, etc., or is left overnight, shall have a tack coat applied prior to overlaying.
Tack coat shall be applied to all vertical surfaces of existing pavements, curbs, gutters
and construction joints in the surfacing against which additional material is to be placed,
to a pavement to be surfaced, and to other surfaces designated by the City Inspector.
Any tack material deposited on concrete surfaces not to be overlaid with asphalt concrete
will be removed within five (5) working days or the City will cause the work to be done
and any cost incurred shall be deducted from contract retention monies due.
Tack coat shall be applied in one application at a rate of between 0.05 and 0.10 gallon
per square yard of surface covered. Tack coat material shall be applied at minimum 350
degrees Fahrenheit (F) from a distributor truck with a heating element capable of raising

additives allowed.
Mix may be rejected if the air voids or stability do not meet the above criteria.
911-3 CONSTRUCTION
The work shall further consist of preparing the existing street surfaces prior to the paving.
Such work shall include removing raised pavement markers, removing thermoplastic
pavement markings, painted legends and crossbars (12” white and yellow), controlling
nuisance water, sweeping prior to tack application, watering, and removing loose and
broken asphalt concrete pavement and foreign material as specified in the Standard
Specifications and these Special Provisions and as required by the Engineer. The
minimum ambient temperature to begin paving shall be 55 degrees F. The
CONTRACTOR shall use any means necessary to clean the pavement, including
135
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
124
sweeping and flushing.
The paving shall be performed in such a way as to not leave any longitudinal paving
joints at the end of each day’s operation. Longitudinal paving joints shall be wedge
type and shall be constructed as shown on the plan details.
The longitudinal and transverse paving joint layout shall be submitted to the Engineer for
approval and shall be reviewed at the pre-paving meeting.
Failure to meet the joint requirements will subject the Contractor to liquidated
damages in the amount of $1,000 per joint.
911-3.1 Cold Joints
All cold joints, both longitudinal and transverse, shall be heated with a torch
immediately prior to paving. Care shall be exercised such as to not damage the
asphalt concrete by burning or excessive aging, as determined by engineer.
Damaged material shall be removed by saw cutting to form a new cold joint
followed by torch heating. Cold joints include previous passes placed more than
three hours prior. All cold joints shall be tack coated.
Failure to meet the cold joint requirements will subject the Contractor to
liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 per joint.
911-3.2 Leveling, Transitions, and Asphalt Concrete Fills
A leveling course of variable thickness shall be placed and compacted prior to
placing the surface course at locations where directed by the Engineer, as needed.
The leveling course will be used to correct pavement irregularities such as rutting,
variable cross slope, or variable longitudinal slope. Where two overlays of different
thickness abut at a longitudinal joint, the CONTRACTOR shall add to the thinner
section to match the thicker lift and provide a smooth transition and uniform cross-
fall. Cold planing ridges or other rises in the pavement surface may be required by
the Engineer. The Engineer will determine the exact limits and thickness of the
leveling courses, asphalt concrete fills, and transitions. Areas to receive AC Fill
shall be completed prior to performing leveling course work. CONTRACTOR shall
perform AC Fills to improve surface drainage as shown on the plans and as
directed by the Engineer.
911-3.3 Layout
The CONTRACTOR shall layout and mark the location of the edges of the paving
passes of the surface course to match the new layout of the lane lines. The layout
shall be made at least 24 hours prior to paving. The layout shall be approved by
the Engineer prior to paving.
If the striping is to remain unchanged, the edges of the paving passes shall
136
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
125
conform to existing lane edges.
In all cases where practical, each lane shall be paved in a single pass. In tapered
transition areas, the shoulder areas shall be paved first, then the through lane shall
be hot-lapped immediately after the shoulder paving.
For paving which incorporates new quarter-points or grade breaks due to key cuts
or other conditions, the CONTRACTOR shall provide equipment capable of
adjusting to the new surface profile at the appropriate locations. The profile
adjustments shall be within twelve inches of the actual quarter-point or grade
break.
The CONTRACTOR shall take sufficient measurements during laydown to assure
that the full design asphalt concrete layer depth is provided at each quarter-point,
grade break, or transition. Failure to provide the design depth at these areas will
result in rejection of the work. Correction of this rejected work will include milling
out the new asphalt concrete from the road edge to the centerline or nearest inside
lane line and repaving. The minimum length of the milled and corrected area shall
be fifty feet.
911-3.4 Tolerances
The finished asphalt concrete surface shall be flush with, to 1/4 inch (0.02 feet) (6
mm) above the gutter lips. The finished pavement surface shall not be lower than
the gutter lips.
The average pavement thickness shall be equal to the specified thickness for the
project. For total pavement thicknesses less than four inches, the minimum
allowable thickness will be 1/4 inch less than that specified. For total pavement
thicknesses of four inches or more, the minimum allowable thickness will be 1/2
inch less than that specified.
The provisions of Section 302-5.12 shall apply and shall be modified to provide
that the straightedge shall be 12 foot in length.
911-3.5 Automatic Screed Controls
For all main line street or roadway paving with single lane length exceeding 300
feet, automatic screed controls shall be required.
In addition to the requirements in Subsection 302-5.9 of the SSPWC, asphalt
concrete shall be placed with spreading equipment equipped with fully automatic
screed and grade sensing controls which shall control the longitudinal grade of the
screed. Automatic controls shall conform to and be operated in accordance with
the provisions herein.
Unless approved otherwise, ski-type devices with a minimum length of 30 feet shall
137
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
126
be used to provide a reference for the grade sensor. Skis shall be constructed and
installed in such a manner that a reference to the average elevation of the existing
pavement, along the length of the ski, is maintained at the sensor point. When
placing surfacing adjacent to surfacing previously placed in conformance with
these provisions, a joint matching shoe of adequate size and type to properly
sense the grade of the previously placed mat may be used in lieu of the 30-foot
ski.
The ski shall be mounted at a location which will provide an accurate reference for
the surfacing being placed. This may require the ski to be mounted ahead of and
inside the outer limits of the screed. Automatic cross slope control may be
accomplished by use of a ski and grade sensor on each side of the paving
machine.
Automatic screed controls shall be installed in such a manner that the occasional
manual adjustments necessary to maintain the attitude of the screed parallel to the
underlying pavement are readily accomplished. Automatic screed controls shall be
installed so that with little or no delay, use of the automatic controls can be
discontinued and the screed controlled by manual methods.
Should the automatic screed controls fail to operate properly during any day’s
work, the CONTRACTOR may manually control the spreading equipment for the
remainder of that day provided the quality of the work conforms to the requirements
of Section 302-5. Should the methods and equipment used for automatic control
fail to result in the quality of work required by said Sections, the paving operations
will be temporarily discontinued and the CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary
changes to the equipment, or furnish other equipment conforming to the
requirements herein, before paving is resumed.
If it is determined by the Engineer that the existing grade and cross slope are too
irregular for the automatic controls to provide the quality of work required, the use
of the automatic controls shall be discontinued and the spreading equipment shall
be adjusted by manual methods. Use of automatic controls shall resume when the
Engineer has determined that it is again practical and so orders.
911-3.6 Rolling and Compaction
In addition to the requirements of Subsection 302-5.10 and 302-5.11 of the
SSPWC, the number of rollers required for each paving operation shall be such
that all rolling for density can be completed before the temperature of the asphalt
concrete mixture drops below 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Breakdown rolling shall commence when the asphalt concrete is placed except in
cases where mix distortion/shoving rather than compaction is taking place under
the roller. In those instances, wait for the mix to cool sufficiently, then breakdown
compaction. Rolling shall be accomplished with the drive wheel forward and with
the advance and return passes in the same line.
138
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
127
For leveling courses under 1 inch, breakdown rolling shall consist of three
coverages with an 8 to 12 ton pneumatic roller followed by a finishing coverage
with a steel wheel roller. The rolling may begin with a single pass of a steel wheel
roller until the pneumatic has sufficient opportunity to warm up to avoid tracking
and picking up material from the mat. The pneumatic roller tires shall be treated
with a non-petroleum based product to prevent pickup. Failure to successfully
provide for breakdown rolling with the pneumatic roller after a reasonable warm up
time will be cause for termination of paving activities until the CONTRACTOR can
provide equipment which will perform without pickup. For all other leveling courses,
the intermediate roller shall be a 12-16 ton pneumatic roller.
For the percent of maximum theoretical density, the following table shall apply to
deductions for average compaction of a sublot:

not be used. The Contractor shall submit the determined optimum asphalt-rubber
binder content to be mixed with the aggregate in conformance with the
requirements in California Test 367 (as amended below). The City’s Engineer will
verify the optimum amount of asphalt-rubber binder to be mixed with the
aggregate. California Test 367 is amended as follows:
A. The specific gravity used in California Test 367, Section “B. Voids Content
of Specimen,” shall be determined using California Test 308, Method A.
B. California Test 367, Section “C. Optimum Bitumen Content,” is revised as
follows:
1. Plot asphalt-rubber binder content versus void content for each
specimen on Form TL-306 (Figure 3), and connect adjacent points
with straight lines.
2. From Figure 3 select the theoretical asphalt-rubber binder content
that has 4 percent voids.
3. Record the asphalt-rubber binder content in Step 2 as the Optimum
Bitumen Content (OBC).
4. To establish a recommended range, use the Optimum Bitumen
Content (OBC) as the high value and 0.3 percent less as the low
value. Notwithstanding, the recommended range shall not extend
below 7.6 percent nor shall the high value to establish recommended
range be above 9.5 percent. If the OBC is 7.6%, then there shall be
no recommended range, and 7.6% shall be the recommended value.
C. Laboratory mixing and compaction shall be in conformance with the
requirements of California Test 304, except that the mixing temperature of
the aggregate shall be between 300º F and 325º F. The compaction
temperature of the combined mixture shall be between 290º F and 300º F.

If tests on finished ARHM material during production demonstrate non-
compliance with minimum air voids or minimum binder content, production
shall not proceed on the day following such determination. In that case, the
mix design must be retested and samples resubmitted to the City’s Project
Representative for approval prior to restart of production.
912-2.5 Mixing
The third paragraph of Subsection 203-11.4 is hereby deleted and replaced with
the following:
The proportions of the materials, by total weight of asphalt rubber binder, shall be
80% +/- 2% combined paving asphalt and asphalt modifier, and 20% +/- 2% CRM.
However, the minimum amount of CRM shall not be less than 18.0 percent. Lower
values which are rounded up shall not be allowed. The CRM shall be combined
at the production site and shall contain 75 percent +/- 2 percent scrap tire CRM
and 25 percent +/- 2% high natural CRM, by mass.
The temperature of the blended asphalt and modifier shall be between 380º F
minimum and 440º F maximum when the CRM is added. The temperature shall
not exceed 10º F below the actual flash point of the mixture. The CRM shall be
combined and mixed together in an asphalt rubber mechanical blender meeting
the requirements of 203-11.5. The combined asphalt and CRM shall be pumped
into a reaction tank or distributor truck meeting the requirements of 203-11.5, Item
3, part (A) herein. The required minimum reaction time shall be 90 minutes. The
temperature of the asphalt rubber mixture shall be between 380º F minimum to
425º F maximum during the reaction period. The reaction period shall be set as
described in 203-11.5, item 3, part (A) herein.
After reacting, the asphalt rubber binder shall conform to the requirements in Table
203-11.4(A) (as modified herein).

the reaction period shall remain unchanged, unless there are changes in materials
or equipment that affect rubber digestion, in which case a new reaction period shall
be established per specifications. The City’s Project Representative’s decision
shall be final for the determination of the reaction period.
All material shall be tested for viscosity and verified as to complete reaction prior
to transfer to any storage tank or use of the reaction tank for feed to the hot mix
plant. Test results shall be reported in writing daily.
Inability to maintain reaction temperatures above specified minimums will be cause
to terminate paving operations. The Contractor is reminded that if the reaction tank
or the method of filling the tank is not capable of sustaining the specified reaction
temperature, there exists the potential for such below minimum temperatures to
seriously delay production, or depending on heat input potential, even become an
irreversible condition.
A Production Schedule Form shall be submitted with the bid demonstrating that
the proposed asphalt rubber production equipment can meet the demands of the
project.
The Contractor shall test viscosity and record the following information for every
tank of asphalt rubber prior to being transferred to storage or directed to feed to
the hot mix plant on an Asphalt Rubber Batch Log:
1) Temperature of stored asphalt cement material at time of loading
2) Time the reaction tank is fully loaded
3) The beginning time of reaction (as defined above)
4) Time of each viscosity test
5) The binder temperature during each viscosity test
6) The measured viscosity
A copy of the Asphalt Rubber Batch Log shall be provided to the City’s Project
Representative upon request. A copy of the batch log sheet shall be faxed to the
City within 1.5 hours of placing the final batch for the day into storage or feed to
the plant. A copy of the daily paper circle chart shall be faxed with the batch log
sheet. To fit 8-½ x 11 inch sheets, the circle chart may be faxed in halves with an
overlapping strip. See Section 712-2.7 below for circle chart requirements.
One passing sample for viscosity tests on each batch, prior to transfer to storage
or converting to feed to the ARHM mix plant shall be poured into a clean gallon
can that has been pre-certified by the City’s Project Representative. It shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that sufficient sample cans with lids are
at the plant, such that they can be pre-certified at least three days prior to use. The
City’s Project Representative will certify the cans by numbering them consecutively
and affixing his or her signature to each can. The Contractor shall conduct
sampling such that the pre-certified sample can numbers correspond to batch
146
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
135
numbers beginning with number one at the start of the project, increasing
consecutively with each batch, without restarting the count at any point. After
testing and recording the information for the batch, the corresponding pre-certified
sample can shall be filled and stored for the duration of the project or until the City’s
Project Representative Takes possession of the can.
912-2.6 Hand Held Viscometer Test
The second and third sentence of Item number 5 under Test Procedure is hereby
deleted and replaced with the following:
In one continuous operation, turn off the spindle rotation, remove the spindle
vertically from the binder (after heating), discontinue stirring the binder and
immediately insert the spindle back in the center of the binder. While holding
the viscometer level, wait 5 seconds, turn the spindle on and watch the
needle on the viscometer dial and record the maximum value obtained on
the dial.
912-2.7 Equipment for Production of Asphalt Rubber
Add the following to Item c) of 203-11.5:
A) Reaction Tank: The asphalt rubber material shall be held in a
reaction tank separate from the storage tank feeding the ARHM
plant until the reaction is complete. The reaction tank shall have
agitation sufficient to increase the viscosity of the mixture to a peak
viscosity reading at least 20 percent higher than the viscosity
reading of the material measured at the time that the binder meets
all specifications for reacted material. The period of reaction shall
not be less than the minimum reaction time specified in Section
203-11.4 and may be extended as needed to produce this result. It
shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to demonstrate to the
City’s Project Representative through viscosity readings at fifteen-
minute intervals through a batch reaction cycle that the equipment
conforms to these requirements.
The reaction tank shall have a functioning paper circle chart
thermometer device, which shall record tank temperatures
whenever asphalt rubber is in any stage of production. Seven days
before production of asphalt rubber starts, the Contractor shall
provide the City’s Project Representative at least 60 blank circle
charts suitable for use with the circle chart thermometer device to
be used on the project. These charts shall be numbered and signed
by the project manager and returned to the Contractor prior to start
of construction. These signed and numbered charts shall be used
throughout the production of the asphalt rubber. Charts will be used
147
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
136
in consecutive order starting with number one and shall be returned
weekly after used to the project manager. Charts shall be identified
with the date they were used by the Contractor at time of installing
on the equipment, and shall be identified as to the tank to which
they were attached. Production of asphalt rubber shall be
terminated if this procedure is not followed and shall not be
restarted until Contractor demonstrates to the City’s Project
Representative that it is capable of complying with this requirement.
At the start of each production day, the paper chart shall be replaced with a new
signed and numbered sheet, the lead scribe shall be sharpened, and the circle
chart shall be calibrated against a sample of material drawn early from the first
batch of the day. Any calibration adjustments shall be recorded in the appropriate
space provided on the batch log sheet. A spare functional circle chart device
shall be at the plant at all times for immediate installation should a failure occur
on a circle chart device being used. Calibration shall be performed as part of
such installation. The lack of a functional circle chart device on the reaction tank
shall be cause to terminate production of asphalt rubber. A blunt lead scribe or a
paper chart used on a prior day will be considered to render the device non-
functional.
B) Storage Tank: After a complete reaction is verified by viscosity
readings acceptable to the City’s Project Representative, the
material shall be held in a storage tank that is fully isolated from
material that is not fully reacted. This tank shall be the only tank
feeding the ARHM plant. No material shall be transferred to the
storage tank feeding the ARHM plant until reaction is complete in the
reaction tank.
912-3 CONSTRUCTION METHODS
912-3.1 General
ARHM shall conform to the specifications for Subsection 302-5 of the Standard
Specifications except as modified herein.
ARHM shall consist of one or more courses of an asphalt-rubber binder and graded
aggregate as herein specified placed upon a prepared roadbed or base or over
existing pavement. The courses shall be of the type of mixture and the dimensions
shown on the Plans or Specifications.
912-3.2 Distribution Spreading
Section 302-11.3 of the Standard Specifications is hereby modified as follows:
148
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
137
At the time of delivery to the work site, the temperature of ARHM shall not be lower
than 300° Fahrenheit or higher than 350° Fahrenheit.
The procedure whereby material is deposited in a windrow then picked up and
placed in the asphalt paver with loading equipment may be used. The following
shall be provided for the windrow operation:
1. The asphalt paver is of such design that the material will fall into a hopper which
has a movable bottom conveyor to feed the screed.
2. The loader (pick-up machine) is constructed and operated so that substantially
all of the material deposited on the roadbed is picked up and deposited in the
paving machine.
3. Only one truck shall dump ahead of the paving machine, with only enough
windrow remaining from the previous dump to provide for adequate material for
paving between windrows. The windrow procedure will not be accepted if
the temperature of the asphalt concrete in the windrow falls below the
specified temperatures.
4. All loose material outside of the windrow shall not be placed on the windrow
itself. The loose material shall become property of the Contractor and removed
from the site.
The Contractor shall designate staging areas for trucks to switch trailers and
perform clean out, if necessary. Trucks shall use only designated areas for these
purposes. The Contractor shall spread rock dust blotter at a rate of 0.5 pounds per
square yard within 500 feet leading away from these areas and on a continuous
run back to the point where trucks exit and or enter the area to be paved. The cost
of this application will be borne by the Contractor as included in the unit cost for
asphalt rubber hot mix.
In order to prevent cold longitudinal joints, if a street is not completed in the same
day, only transverse joints shall be left open for the next workday.
A longitudinal joint will only be allowed at the center of the traveled lane or at the
joint of traveled lanes. Longitudinal joints coinciding with existing longitudinal joints
will not be allowed.
To avoid picking up loose rock in the overlay area, the tires of all trucks must be
lightly oiled with linseed oil or soybean oil or approved equal, but not to the point
of runoff. Diesel fuel will not be allowed on the project for oil down of equipment.
The provisions of Subsection 5-3.1 of the Standard Specifications are hereby
incorporated into these Special Provisions, whereby incompetent operators shall
be removed from the work. Indications of lack of experience, or unfamiliarity with
149
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
138
the equipment or its operation will be considered incompetence.
The Contractor shall be responsible for protecting existing storm drain inlets,
swales and culverts to ensure that no sand, gravel, rock dust, tack coat, asphalt,
or spoils from paving operations enter into storm drain inlets.
All PCC, brick or other decorative surfaces within 500 feet of the work limits that
are to be crossed by trucks used to haul pavement material shall be covered with
sand or other durable covering prior to applying tack coat.
The Contractor shall have sufficient power brooms on site during all periods of
distribution and spreading to provide for cleanup of haul routes and work areas.
Power broom shall provide miscellaneous cleanup of pavement material spoils as
directed by the City’s Project Representative.
Power brooms used ahead of paving operations after acceptance of cold milling
shall only sweep areas that are accepted as completed for cold milling. Power
brooms shall not be operated more than 80 percent full of sweepings. Power
brooms that have swept areas not accepted as completed for cold milling shall not
enter onto areas that are accepted as completed for cold milling.
912-3.3 Rolling
To ensure optimum quality control, the use of more than one paver must be
approved in advance by the Engineer, and will generally require one foreman, one
sweeper, and a full complement of rollers per Subsection 302-11.4 of the Standard
Specifications and this Subsection 712-3.3 for each paving machine.
Section 302-9.4 of the Standard Specifications is hereby modified as follows:
A vibratory roller shall be used for initial breakdown rolling. The initial breakdown
rolling shall be completed before the asphalt-rubber hot mix temperature falls
below 275° Fahrenheit measured immediately in front of the roller. Pneumatic
rollers shall not be used. The contractor shall provide sufficient rollers to assure
complete compaction before the mixture reaches 260° Fahrenheit. If the contractor
at any time fails to meet these criteria, placement of additional asphalt concrete
shall be suspended until compaction is completed on the material already laid
down.
An extra breakdown roller shall be on site at all times, free of defects.
An intermediate roller of the same or greater width than the breakdown roller shall
be rolling directly behind the breakdown roller at all times, and paving shall cease
if intermediate rolling is terminated for any reason . Additional intermediate
rollers may be necessary depending on production rates.
150
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
139
Once a rolling pattern proves effective and the Contractor elects to use it, the rolling
pattern shall remain consistent, unless conditions change and a modified rolling
pattern is needed to conform to specification. Paving shall cease whenever the
intermediate roller stops rolling.
A finish roller shall be provided in addition to intermediate rolling to perform all
finish rolling, such that the intermediate roller can stay immediately behind the
breakdown roller at all times.
912-3.3.1 Density and Smoothness
Density and smoothness shall conform to Subsection 302-5.6.2 of the
Standard Specifications, except the second and third paragraph of
Subsection 302-5.6.2 shall not apply to ARHM.
The relative compaction of the finished mat after final rolling shall be a
minimum of 95 percent as measured by California Test 375. The field
density of compacted ARHM shall be determined by a nuclear asphalt
testing device, calibrated and correlated to cores in conformance with
California Test 375.
912-3.3.2 Maximum Density
Maximum density samples shall be prepared in conformance with
California Test 304, except:
A. Compaction shall be performed between 290 and 300 degrees
Fahrenheit.
912-3.3.3 Compaction Payment Reduction
Based on laboratory tests on AC pavements revealing a highly significant
loss of life span accelerating with each 1 percent reduction of compaction,
and the well known catastrophic effect of oxidation and stripping of asphalt
products due to interconnected voids that develop below 95 percent
compaction, and the extreme expense of removing and replacing pavement
not compacted to the specified minimum, a nominal deduction of payment
will be applied for under-compacted ARHM pavement. The bidder in
submitting a bid fully accepts the provisions in this Subsection 712-3.3.3
and agrees that the nominal payment deduction is acceptable and
reasonable for these purposes.
Payment reductions shall be applied to ARHM compacted less than 95
percent (the specified minimum) and greater than 91.9 percent of the
maximum density based on nuclear testing with Part 3 – Test Site Selection
of California Test 375 modified as follows:
151
Specification No. MPK 24-01
High Street Improvement Project
Capital Improvement Project No. C0009
140
A lot shall be one day’s production or other lesser portion of paving as
determined by the City’s Project Representative to be reasonably
contiguous and uninterrupted and deficient in terms of compaction, and a
pull shall be the width between joints as the lot is placed.
Test site selection shall conform to California Test 375, Part 3, except the
number of tests shall be the area of the lot in square feet divided by 400, or
a minimum 20 tests, whichever is greater, and any test site within 1.5 feet
of a grade break or pavement joint shall be relocated laterally towards the
center of the pull to 1.5 feet from such joint or grade break.
The mathematical mean average of percent of maximum density
represented by all tests shall be calculated, except any test results outside
of this mean plus two standard deviations based on all tests, shall be
rejected. The mean average shall be calculated directly from the remaining
values. A compensation reduction shall be deducted from the contract unit
price for ARHM for material within any lot determined to be below minimum
relative compaction in conformance with Table 712-3.3.3A. To compute the
compensation reduction, multiply the unit price for ARHM times the reduced
compensation factor corresponding to the mean average compaction of the
lot. Any lot with tests indicating a mean average compaction of 91.9 percent
or less shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense.

Where asphalt concrete overlay work is required on a through street at an
intersection without a concrete cross gutter, the overlay on the cross street shall
extend to the ECR return where a keycut will be made transverse to the cross
street as noted on the Plan or as directed by the City Inspector. Transverse keycuts
shall be completed from curb to curb.
912-3.5 Sampling
The Engineer will sample the asphalt concrete from the truck bed, paving machine
hopper or mat behind the spreading machine at various intervals. The contractor
shall facilitate the sampling process.
912-3.6 Tack Coat
A Tack Coat shall be furnished and applied to all areas to be surfaced in
accordance with the provisions of the Standard Specifications Section 302-5.4 and
Section 910, “Tack Coat.”
912-3.7 Rock Dust Blotter
At the option of the engineer, a rock dust blotter may be required. Rock Dust per
Subsection 200-1.2 of the Standard Specifications shall be uniformly applied using
a mechanical spreader at a rate of approximately three pounds per square yard.
The cost of this application will be borne by the contractor.
Lack of uniformity of application of rock dust shall be cause to terminate paving
operations. The rock dust spreader apparatus shall have the capability to allow the
carrier vehicle to back down the new ARHM mat on the rock dust as it is distributed
ahead of the vehicle.
Rock dust shall not be spread until final rolling is complete and pavement
temperatures have dropped below 200 degrees Fahrenheit, except as authorized
by the engineer.

WALL SPLICES SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF 48 BAR DIAMETERS.
6. DOWELS SHALL BE AT LEAST EQUAL IN SIZE AND SPACING TO VERTICAL BARS UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
PAVER NOTES:
PAVER LAYOUT SHALL BE DETERMINED BY LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF CUTS MADE TO THE LONG SIDE OF
THE PAVER, IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE "SLIVER" PIECES.
PAVER SHALL BE CLEAN AND FREE FROM FOREIGN MATERIALS BEFORE INSTALLATION.
INSTALLATION SHOULD START FROM A CORNER OR STRAIGHT EDGE AND PROCEED FORWARD OVER
THE UNDISTURBED SAND LAYING COURSE.
PAVING WORK SHALL BE PLUMB, LEVEL, AND TRUE TO LINE GRADE; SHALL BE INSTALLED PROPERLY,
COINCIDE AND ALIGN, WITH ADJACENT WORK AND ELEVATIONS.
PAVING STONES SHOULD BE INSTALLED HAND TIGHT ON THE UNDISTURBED SAND LAYING COURSE.
STRING LINES SHOULD BE USED TO HOLD PATTERN LINES TRUE.
GAPS BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE PAVER SURFACE SHALL BE FILLED WITH STANDARD PAVERS OR WITH
PAVERS CUT TO FIT. CUT PAVERS SHOULD BE NO SMALLER THAN ONE THIRD THE SIZE OF FULL PAVERS.
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN ESTABLISHING THE LAYING PATTERN TO INSURE THAT LESS THAN ONE
THIRD PAVERS ARE MINIMIZED.
PAVERS ARE SET INTO THE SAND LAYING COURSE BY ROLLER OR PLATE VIBRATOR CAPABLE OF 3,000 TO
5,000 COMPACTION FORCE. VIBRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN CROSSING PATHS UNTIL THE
PAVEMENT SURFACE IS SMOOTH AND REQUIRED ELEVATION IS ACHIEVED. GAPS BETWEEN PAVERS
SHOULD AT THIS POINT SHOULD BE FILLED TO ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF THE PAVER'S FULL HEIGHT. GAPS
BETWEEN EDGES SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 3/16" WIDE AFTER VIBRATION. GAPS GREATER THAN 3/16"
SUGGEST THAT LESS THAN SATISFACTORY INTERLOCK WILL BE ACHIEVED. PAVERS WITHIN THREE FEET
OF UNRESTRAINED EDGES MUST NOT BE COMPACTED.
ONCE PAVERS ARE VIBRATED INTO PLACE. CLEAN, DRY SAND SHALL BE BROOMED OVER THE PAVEMENT
SURFACE AND VIBRATED ONCE MORE INTO THE REMAINING UNFILLED GAPS BETWEEN PAVERS TO THE
HEIGHT OF THE JOINT BEVEL. SURPLUS SAND SHOULD BE SWEPT FROM THE PAVEMENT SURFACE AND
DISPOSED OF.
THE COMPLETED PAVING STONE INSTALLATION SHOULD BE WASHED DOWN AND CLEANED TO PROVIDE
A CLEAN FINISHED WORKMANLIKE INSTALLATION.
