About this file

This document comprises Supplementary Conditions that amend the 2016 EJCDC D-700 Standard General Conditions of the Contract for the Sandy River Force Main River Crossing Project, a progressive design-build project involving Water Environment Services and Clackamas County in Oregon. The supplementary conditions establish contractual requirements for a design-builder to provide Phase 1 services (design development and permitting with a guaranteed maximum price proposal) and Phase 2 services (design completion, construction, and post-construction activities). The project involves work in public rights-of-way and near waterways, with specific attention to permit-required confined spaces and environmental compliance. The contract utilizes an agreement structure with performance and payment bonds required upon execution of any contract establishing the Guaranteed Maximum Price, and construction activities are generally restricted to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays Monday through Friday, with holiday observance required in compliance with Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 279C.540.

The contract establishes comprehensive insurance requirements including Commercial General Liability of $4,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 aggregate, $10,000,000 umbrella liability, $2,000,000 pollution liability, automobile liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 annual aggregate. The design-builder must maintain a public works bond filed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and provide builder's risk insurance with specific coverage for loss of profits and soft costs. Pricing for changes is determined through a Contractor Potential Change Notice (CPCN) process, with design-builder overhead and profit applied at the percentages identified in the Agreement. Cost reimbursable work includes actual labor costs at prevailing wage rates, material costs at fair market value, and equipment rental not exceeding 80 percent of Rental Blue Book rates for design-builder-owned equipment. The design-builder must self-perform a minimum of 35 percent of the combined value of all work items and comply with extensive Oregon prevailing wage and labor requirements, including payroll certification, worker's compensation, and payment obligations to subcontractors within ten days of receipt of payment from the Owner.
