PART 3 EXECUTION (NOT APPLICABLE)

END OF SECTION

Boulder Canyon Trail Repair Job No. 26-3031 the eastern margin of the bridge, at the location of the proposed trail repairs, was surrounded by chain-link fences.

Sample Collection

Sample collection for the project was conducted in June 2026. GROUND collected a total of 4 large, disturbed bulk samples and 2 small, disturbed samples from the shallow soils with hand equipment. Of these, 1 large disturbed bulk sample was obtained from the creek bed near the distressed slope, and the remaining samples were obtained from various locations along the subject slope above the creek. The sample locations on the slope were selected based on discussions with Otak, Inc., and accessibility. The approximate locations of the sampling are shown in Figure 1.

Laboratory Testing

Samples retrieved from the site were examined and visually classified in the laboratory by the project engineer. Laboratory testing of soil samples included grain size analyses and Atterberg limits. Laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM protocols.

Results of the laboratory testing program are summarized in Table 1. Gradation and hydrometer plots are provided in Figures 2 through 4.

03 THE CONTRACT, DRAWINGS, AND SPECIFICATIONS

The AGREEMENT between CONTRACTOR and OWNER will be deemed to have been made in the State of Colorado and will be governed, interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. Thus, CONTRACTOR shall at all times comply with the provisions of the Charters, Ordinances, Rules and Regulations of the local jurisdiction authority where the WORK is to be performed as well as those of the State of Colorado, and those Federal Laws, Rules and Regulations which in any manner limit, control, or apply to the actions or operations of CONTRACTOR, its SUBCONTRACTOR(s), or their employees, agents or servants engaged upon the WORK or affecting the materials supplied to or by them.

.01 General. DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS are integral parts of the CONTRACT. These are intended to provide details adequate to permit full understanding between CONTRACTOR and OWNER of WORK to be performed under the CONTRACT. The DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS are intended to be complementary and must be interpreted in that sense.

If in the opinion of CONTRACTOR, any discrepancies are found between the DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS, and PROJECT SITE conditions or any inconsistencies or ambiguities are found in the DRAWINGS or SPECIFICATIONS; CONTRACTOR shall immediately report them to ENGINEER and/or OWNER in writing. ENGINEER and/or OWNER shall promptly review such reported discrepancies, inconsistencies, or ambiguities and determine if they exist. If ENGINEER determines a discrepancy, inconsistency or ambiguity exists, an AMENDMENT or FIELD ORDER will be issued as specified in DIVISION 01: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS, SECTION 01 26 00, CONTRACT MODIFICATION PROCEDURES. WORK done by CONTRACTOR prior to issuance of an AMENDMENT or FIELD ORDER will be done at CONTRACTOR’s risk.

Section 00 72 00-(5)

If WORK, although not described by the DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS, appears to be necessary for the successful completion of the CONTRACT and if the necessity for such WORK can reasonably be implied from the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, CONTRACTOR shall perform that WORK as if it were specified.

In case of conflict between the DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS, the SPECIFICATIONS will govern. Figure dimensions on DRAWINGS will govern over scale dimensions, and detailed DRAWINGS will govern over general DRAWINGS.

.02 SPECIFICATIONS Designations. Whenever reference is made in the CONTRACT

DOCUMENTS to specifications, methods of testing materials, codes, practices and requirements, it will be understood that the latest edition or revision in effect as of the date of the BID opening will govern unless a specific revision is referred to.

.03 “Approved Equal” Clause. Whenever a specific material, equipment, process, or product is referred to by a proprietary name, brand name or by the name of its manufacturer, it will be understood that such designation is further qualified by the phrase “or approved equal,” whether or not such phrase actually appears with the material, equipment, process or product being specified. Such specification is not intended to limit the material and equipment selection process but rather to indicate a standard of quality and capability that will be acceptable.

.04 Ownership of DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS. Neither CONTRACTOR nor any

SUBCONTRACTOR, manufacturer, fabricator, SUPPLIER or distributor shall have or acquire any title to or ownership rights in any of the DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS or other documents (or copies of any thereof) prepared by or bearing the seal of ENGINEER; and they shall not reuse any of them on extensions of the PROJECT or any other PROJECT without written consent of OWNER and ENGINEER and specific written verification or adaptation by

ENGINEER.

.05 DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS Issued to CONTRACTOR. Upon receiving NOTICE

OF AWARD, CONTRACTOR may request as many additional copies of the DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS as CONTRACTOR may desire. These will normally be available at the place where the BID documents were issued. Up to six (6) sets of these DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS will be issued at no cost to CONTRACTOR. At OWNER’s discretion, and based upon the availability thereof, additional sets of DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS may be made available to CONTRACTOR in excess of six (6) sets at no cost, however, OWNER may require CONTRACTOR to purchase sets of DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS in excess of six (6) sets at the price stated in the INVITATION TO BID, if OWNER so chooses.

Of the six (6) sets of DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS issued free to CONTRACTOR, one

(1) set must be maintained in good condition at the PROJECT SITE for the purpose of recording “as-built” conditions as necessary to develop an “As Constructed Record.” On this set of DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS, CONTRACTOR shall record all changes and deviations in a neat and legible manner. Any deviation between the DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS and the WORK actually done, no matter how insignificant, must be recorded. Of special concern is that all underground utility structures encountered in the process of doing the WORK be correctly located on the DRAWINGS. When the WORK is completed, CONTRACTOR shall deliver this single set of DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS to OWNER or ENGINEER. These DRAWINGS must be submitted to OWNER or ENGINEER before final payment will be made.

.06 Supplemental DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS. DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS, which were provided by OWNER at the time of bidding, will, when needed, be supplemented by CONTRACTOR who shall provide SHOP DRAWINGS, equipment setting drawings, reinforcement steel placement drawings, erection schedules, material samples, performance

Section 00 72 00-(6) charges, manufacturer’s brochures, and other needed information. If any of the above mentioned information is required, CONTRACTOR shall, as soon as the WORK begins, prepare a schedule for its submission to ENGINEER. The purpose of the schedule is to establish at an early date the needs and dates of needs so that the approval process does not delay the WORK. No WORK based on such supplemental DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS will be performed until such supplemental DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS have been reviewed as herein provided.

Since this supplemental data may be needed to evaluate whether ENGINEER’s concepts, as expressed by the DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS are correctly interpreted and that the final WORK product satisfied the design intent, review of the supplemental data will be the responsibility of ENGINEER. Submittal of this data will follow the normal channels of communication. CONTRACTOR must endorse all submittals, regardless of sources.

Reviews of supplemental DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS are based only on whether or not these indicate that the subject of the supplemental data satisfies the basic design concept and intent. Such review by ENGINEER will never be used by CONTRACTOR to claim relief from CONTRACTOR’s ultimate responsibility of providing to OWNER the end product for which it contracted. When submitted for review, SHOP DRAWINGS will bear CONTRACTOR’s certification that CONTRACTOR has reviewed, checked, and approved the SHOP DRAWINGS and that they are in conformance with the requirements of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.

.07 Additional Instructions and Detail DRAWINGS Issued by ENGINEER or OWNER.

CONTRACTOR may be furnished additional instructions and detail DRAWINGS, by ENGINEER and/or OWNER as necessary to carry out the WORK required by the CONTRACT

The additional DRAWINGS and instruction thus supplied will become a part of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. CONTRACTOR shall carry out the WORK in accordance with the additional detail DRAWINGS and instructions.

04 AUTHORITY OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR of DISTRICT is charged with duties of administering the official policies and directives of its Board of Directors. In this capacity, the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR is vested with full authority to contract for and administer the construction of certain public improvements on behalf of DISTRICT. The EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR shall decide any differences between ENGINEER and

CONTRACTOR.

When DISTRICT is jointly involved with another public agency on a PROJECT, it will be stipulated in the SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS as to which agency will administer the PROJECT and the administrative extent.

The SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS may designate an onsite EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’s representative who has been delegated the duties of the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR to administer the construction of the PROJECT. In the absence of such delegation, the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR shall administer the construction of the PROJECT.

Section 00 72 00-(7)

05 ENGINEER

.01 General. If OWNER retains an ENGINEER to design a facility and to describe that design by the preparation of DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS, the SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS will name that ENGINEER. ENGINEER shall participate in CONTRACT administration. This participation will include the interpretation of DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS and approval of supplemental DRAWINGS and SPECIFICATIONS. ENGINEER shall participate in the preparation and approval of progress and final payment estimates and shall participate in inspections while the WORK is in progress and especially prior to final acceptance by OWNER.

.02 Authority of ENGINEER. ENGINEER shall act as OWNER’s representative during the construction period. ENGINEER shall decide questions that may arise as to quality and acceptability of materials furnished and WORK performed. ENGINEER shall interpret the intent of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS in a fair and unbiased manner. ENGINEER shall make visits to the PROJECT SITE and to determine if the WORK is proceeding generally in accordance with the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.

CONTRACTOR shall be held strictly to the intent of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS in regard to the quality of materials, workmanship, and execution of the WORK. Inspections may be made at the factory or fabrication plant of the source of material supply.

CONTRACTOR shall cause appropriate provisions to be inserted in all subcontracts relative to the WORK to bind SUBCONTRACTOR(s) to CONTRACTOR by the terms of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS insofar as applicable to the WORK of SUBCONTRACTOR(s) and to give CONTRACTOR the same power as regards terminating any subcontract that OWNER may exercise over CONTRACTOR under any provision of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.

Nothing contained in this CONTRACT will create any contractual relation between any SUBCONTRACTOR and OWNER.

12 PROGRESS PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR

On the twenty fifth (25th) day of each month that the progress payment falls due (but not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER a partial payment estimate filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the WORK performed during the period covered by the partial payment estimate and supported by such data as ENGINEER may reasonably require. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the WORK but delivered and suitably stored at or near the PROJECT SITE, the partial payment estimate will also be accompanied by such supporting data, satisfactory to OWNER, as will establish OWNER’s title to the material and equipment and protect OWNER interest therein. ENGINEER shall either indicate in writing the approval of payment and present the partial payment estimate to OWNER or return the partial payment estimate to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the partial payment estimate. In any case, the partial payment will be submitted to OWNER by the first (1st) day of the following month.

Section 00 72 00-(11)

OWNER shall, within twenty five (25) days of submittal of an approved partial payment estimate, pay CONTRACTOR a progress payment on the basis of the approved partial payment estimate, if the CONTRACTOR is satisfactorily performing the WORK.

OWNER shall retain monies from progress payments until final payment is due, under the following terms and conditions:

01. Retention of five percent (5%) of the calculated value of the satisfactorily WORK.

02. Beginning with the second partial payment estimate, each partial payment estimate thereafter shall include an affidavit of CONTRACTOR stating that all previous progress payments received on account of the WORK have been applied on account to discharge CONTRACTOR’s obligations associated with prior partial payment estimates. If requested, CONTRACTOR shall forward to OWNER statements from all SUPPLIER(s) and SUBCONTRACTOR(s) affirming that payments owed them by CONTRACTOR, as of the date of the statement, had been received.

03. CONTRACTOR may substitute acceptable securities, as defined below for the whole or any portion of the retainage. Acceptable securities are limited to Federal securities, Colorado state and political general obligations bonds, certificates of deposit insured by the FDIC or the FSLIC, or similar negotiable securities.

In addition to the foregoing procedures, for any construction contract exceeding One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000), OWNER shall make partial payments to CONTRACTOR on a monthly basis provided CONTRACTOR is satisfactorily performing the WORK. Said monthly payments will be based on information submitted by CONTRACTOR in monthly payment requests as described above.

OWNER shall withhold no more than five percent (5%) of all monthly partial payments.

13 ADDITIONAL WITHHOLDING OF PROGRESS PAYMENTS

OWNER may, at its sole discretion, withhold additional sums from progress payment monies due CONTRACTOR. Such additional withholding can be made for but is not limited to any of the following described reasons; and whenever the reasons for such withholding no longer exist, OWNER shall make payment of the sums withheld for these reasons.

01. Failure to Repair Defective WORK. If the estimated cost of repairing or replacing defective

WORK appears to exceed the sums of money normally withheld, OWNER may retain as many additional sums as it believes necessary to insure that the defective WORK is repaired or replaced.

02. Claims Against CONTRACTOR. If claims in connection with the WORK have been filed against CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR has not resolved such claim, OWNER shall withhold sufficient sums in addition to applicable retainage to satisfy such claims in accordance with applicable law.

03. Failure to Obtain PERMITS and Licenses. Should CONTRACTOR fail to satisfy all requirements for licensing and/or fail to satisfy all requirements for PERMITS, OWNER may withhold sufficient funds to fully compensate OWNER for any damages, fines, penalties, or assessments that might be levied against OWNER or its PROJECT partners as a result of such CONTRACTOR failures.

04. Failure to Comply with Applicable Laws. If CONTRACTOR has failed to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, OWNER may withhold sufficient funds to fully compensate OWNER for any damages, fines, penalties, or assessments that might be levied against OWNER or its PROJECT partners as a result of such CONTRACTOR failures.

Section 00 72 00-(12)

05. Failure to Satisfactorily Replace and/or Repair Property Destroyed or Damaged During the

Progress of the WORK.

06. Retesting or Resurvey as described under DIVISION 01: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS, SECTION 00 73 96, INSPECTION AND MATERIALS TESTING, or SECTION 01 71 23, FIELD ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING.

07. Liquidated Damages accruing under Article 21.

14 PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE OF WORK

OWNER, at OWNER’s sole discretion, may place into service segments or a part of the WORK before the entire WORK has been completed. Because of the difficulty of determining when CONTRACTOR’s responsibility for the various parts of the WORK might cease when that WORK is partly used by OWNER, CONTRACTOR agrees that, except as qualified below, CONTRACTOR’s responsibility for the entire WORK will not diminish until OWNER accepts the entire and completed WORK.

If such early use or occupancy by OWNER exposes defects, the components or elements of the WORK with the defects will be replaced or repaired by CONTRACTOR. Other damages or wear resulting from OWNER’s use will be at OWNER’s expense.

When OWNER partially occupies a facility, it shall share with CONTRACTOR the costs of energy to heat and light the facility and the costs of water and sanitary sewer service. OWNER’s share of these costs will be determined by OWNER on an equitable basis, and CONTRACTOR shall be reimbursed by an AMENDMENT.
