construction. The size and nature of this Contract place it under the regulations of the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm
Water Discharge Associated with Construction Activity. In the State of California, these
regulations are adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board. These
regulations require a SWPPP for any work where clearing, grading, and excavation
result in a land disturbance of five or more acres. As a result, the Contractor shall
prepare, submit to the CITY for review and approval, and implement a SWPPP for this
Contract in compliance with these regulations.

by construction activities and other non-storm water sources. During all periods of
construction, excavated soils which are stored on-site shall be completely covered with
waterproof material and sand (or gravel) bagged or bermed in order that, in the event of
a storm, no soil becomes mixed with or transported by storm water run-off.
If, during construction operations, field conditions change in a manner which, in the
opinion of the Engineer, significantly deviates from how the SWPPP, as approved by the
CITY, addressed the current construction operation, the Engineer may direct the
Contractor to revise the current construction operation and/or the SWPPP. Such
directions will be made in writing and will specify the items of work for which the SWPPP
is inadequate. No further work on these items will be permitted until the Contractor
revises the construction operations to the satisfaction of the Engineer and/or until the
Contractor submits a revised SWPPP and receives CITY approval. The Engineer will
notify the Contractor of the acceptance or rejection of the revised SWPPP within seven
(7)working days from the date of submittal.
The SWPPP shall be submitted to the CITY for review and approval a minimum of
twenty (20) working days prior to the commencement of construction operations in
accordance with 6-1 of these Special Provisions.
Full compensation for preparation of the SWPPP, revisions to the SWPPP, and all other
related costs shall be considered as included in the prices bid for the various items of

E-26
working days of completion of the disputed work. The total final claim
submittal shall include the daily summaries previously submitted.
B.Claims shall include an itemized breakdown of the Contractor’s and

services, pertaining to such disputed work with complete supporting data for the
quantities and prices quoted. Labor documentation shall include, but not be
limited to, time cards for all employees of the Contractor and its Subcontractors
performing all additional labor. This information shall be submitted by the
Contractor to the City as part of a Change Order Request.
C.In the event that the City determines that a claim is just, the City shall be allowed
to pay for the disputed work in accordance with Section “Changes to the
Contract”.
4.CLAIMS MEETINGS
A.From time to time the City may call a special meeting to discuss outstanding
claims should the City deem this of possible help. The Contractor shall cooperate
and attend such meetings prepared to discuss its claims, making available the
personnel necessary for resolution, and all documents which may reasonably be
requested by the Construction Manager.
