About this file
This is an Exhibit E General Conditions document for the City of Bend's 2026 Micro Surfacing Type II & III project (Project No. ST26MS), which establishes special provisions modifying the 2021 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction. The project involves applying highly modified emulsified asphalt (HIMA) micro surfacing across approximately 34,135 square yards of Type III micro surfacing for rut filling and 78,515 square yards (9 lane miles) of Type II micro surfacing as a lane seal. The work is divided into segments with specific construction limits, and the Contractor shall not begin on-site work before June 15, 2026, unless approved by the Engineer. The project requires submission of working drawings, samples, and a detailed project schedule (Type C schedule) with a Gantt chart format. All project communications, submittals, and documentation must be conducted through the EADOC electronic document tracking system. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining traffic control in coordination with City staff, protecting existing utilities and sewer facilities that must remain operational throughout construction, and performing the work during specified hours (7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on working days) with night work requiring a permit for Sunday through Thursday operations.
The contract specifies that payment for changes will not include material price escalation unless specifically defined in the Contract Documents, though an asphalt cement escalation/de-escalation clause applies based on monthly published prices from Poten & Partners, Inc. for PG 64-22 asphalt cement in the Portland, Oregon area. Retainage shall be held at 5 percent of the value of work accomplished, and final payment requires submission of lien waivers, wage certifications per ORS 279, and completion of all required inspections by City and other government agencies. Liquidated damages are assessed at 15.0 percent of the Contractor's bid amount divided by the total calendar days for contract completion. The document requires contractors to maintain bonding and insurance as specified in the Public Improvement Contract, comply with all safety and OSHA requirements, and perform work in accordance with specified quality standards. The City retains the right to utilize completed or partially completed portions of the work, retain imperfect work with price adjustments if defects are minor, and pursue claims for any cleanup failures or other non-compliant work, with such claims being in addition to liquidated damages.

The Contract Price or the Contract Times, or both, will be equitably adjusted to the extent that the existence of such differing subsurface or physical condition causes an increase or decrease in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of the Work; subject, however, to the following: such condition must meet any one or more of the categories with respect to Work that is paid for on a Unit Price Basis, any adjustment in Contract Price will be subject to the provisions stated in the General Conditions.
Contractor shall not be entitled to any adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times if the Contractor knew of the existence of such conditions at the time Contractor made a final commitment to Agency in respect of Contract Price and Contract Times by the submission of a Bid or becoming bound under a negotiated contract; or if the existence of such condition could reasonably have been discovered or revealed as a result of any examination, investigation, exploration, test, or study of the Site and contiguous areas required by the Bidding Requirements or Contract Documents to be conducted by or for Contractor prior to Contractor’s making such final commitment; or if the Contractor failed to give the written notice within the time and as required by the General Conditions.
If Engineer concludes that a change in the Contract Documents is required, a Work Change Directive or a Change Order will be issued to reflect and document such consequences. An
Page | 9 equitable adjustment shall be made in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or both, to the extent that they are attributable to the existence or location of any Underground Facility that was not shown or indicated or not shown or indicated with reasonable accuracy in the Contract Documents and that Contractor did not know of and could not reasonably have been expected to be aware of or to have anticipated. If Agency and Contractor are unable to agree on entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of any such adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times, Agency or Contractor may make a Claim therefore as provided in the General Conditions.
