This public works project is a federally aided project by the Carbon Reduction Program (CRPL-5146(033)) and local city funding grants (PW 26-03). The project focuses on Energy Efficiency upgrades to streetlights, traffic signal lights and new trail solar lighting within the City of Coalinga. Overall, the project includes mobilization, worker safety, traffic control, erosion, sediment and dust control, soil excavation for reinforced concrete foundations for the purchase and installation of new trail solar lights, purchase and replacement of traffic signals, and replacement of push button control unit within traffic control electrical housing.

Construction improvements at the intersection of Polk and Forest include replacement of the sixty (60) existing traffic signal HPS modules to be replaced with GE Lighting VLA Model (Caltrans) LED Signal Modules; eight (8) existing countdown pedestrian signal luminaire to be replaced with new Current Powered by GE GTX City LED Countdown Pedestrian Signal Luminaire; four (4) overhead street light HPS luminaires to be replaced with American Electric Lighting Autobahn Series ATBO Roadway lighting LED Luminaires; and eight (8) existing pedestrian pushbutton to be replaced with new ADA standard Polara iNS3 iNavigator 3-Wire Push Button Station.

Construction improvements include new solar lights along bike/pedestrian Trail Segment 3 and 4 between Warthan creek and the developments, running North East to South West, from East Walnut Avenue to S 1st Street; Trail Segment 9 behind Coalinga Pacific Apartments, running from North East to South West, from Forest Street to Lucille Avenue and Elm Avenue/SR-198; Trail Segment 10 between Lucille Ave and field, running East to West, along Lucille Avenue, from Elm Avenue/SR-198 to South Monterey Avenue; Trail Segment 11 between South Monterey Street and field, running South to North, along South Monterey Avenue, from Lucille Avenue to West Polk Street; and Trail Segment 12 between North Monterey Avenue and field, running South to North, along North Monterey Ave, from West Polk Street to Cambridge Avenue.

This contract is funded with Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) funds and the rate of wages for each craft or type of work or mechanic employed under this contract shall be as specified under the current determinations of the Department of Labor as required under the Davis-Bacon Act. Where a discrepancy exists between Federal and State prevailing wage rate, the higher of the two prevailing wage rates shall apply. The Contractor shall pay not less than the prevailing rates of per diem wages as determined by the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) for the locality in which the work is performed. The applicable wage determinations shall be those in effect at the time of advertisement for bids, based on the project location (Fresno County – Area 2, where applicable).

The Contractor shall be responsible for payment of any increases in wage rates and employer payments that are predetermined and identified within the applicable DIR wage determinations.

Due to the anticipated manufacturing and delivery lead time for the solar lights and applicable Buy America requirements, the start of on-site construction activities will be delayed until the solar lights have been delivered by Fonroche. Within five (5) weeks of the Project Start Date, the Contractor shall submit to the City Engineer documentation confirming placement of the solar light order, including the manufacturer's estimated shipment and delivery dates. The Contractor shall provide updated procurement and shipping status information to the Engineer.

The Contractor shall coordinate delivery of the solar lights so that construction activities can commence promptly upon

00010 - 6 -delivery. No extension of the contract time will be granted for delays resulting from the contractor’s failure to timely procure the solar lights. Additional information regarding the timeline, anticipated delivery schedule, potential delays, and other pertinent procurement requirements will be provided to the awarded Contractor at the scheduled Preconstruction Meeting.

All base bid work shall be completed within THIRTY (30) construction working days from the date of the Notice to Proceed (NTP).

STATE OF CALIFORNIA WAGE REQUIREMENTS

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 1773 of the Labor code of the State of California, the Owner has obtained from the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general prevailing rate for holidays and overtime work for each craft, classification, or type of worker required to execute the Contract. The Contractor shall pay not less than the prevailing rates of per diem wages as determined by the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) for the locality in which the work is performed. The applicable wage determinations shall be those in effect at the time of advertisement for bids, based on the project location (Fresno County – Area 2, where applicable). The Contractor shall be responsible for payment of any increases in wage rates and employer payments that are predetermined and identified within the applicable DIR wage determinations. A copy of said prevailing rate of per diem wages is on file in the principal office of the Owner, to which reference is hereby made for further particulars. These wages are set forth in the General Prevailing Wage Rates for this project, available from the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Internet Web Site at:

http://www.dir.ca.gov.

A. Statutory Penalty for Failure to Pay Minimum Wages

1. In accordance with 1775 of the California Labor Code, the Contractor shall as a penalty to the State of political subdivision on whose behalf a Contract is made or awarded, forfeit Eighty Dollars ($80.00) for each worker employed in the execution of the Contract by the Contractor or by any Subcontractor for each calendar day during which said worker is required or permitted to work more than eight hours in any one calendar day and forty hours in any one calendar week in violation of 1820-1815 of the California Labor Code.

B. Worker's Compensation Notice

1. As required by 1860 of the California Labor code and in accordance with the provisions of 3700 of the

Labor Code, every Contractor will be required to secure the payment of worker's compensation to its employees.

C. Worker's Compensation Certification by Contractor

1. In accordance with 1861 of the California Labor Code, the Contractor shall furnish the Owner a notarized statement as follows: "I am aware of the provisions of 3700 of the Labor Code which requires every employer to be insured against liability for worker's compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this Contract."

D. Apprenticeship Requirements

1. Contractor agrees to comply with 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 of the California Labor Code relating to the employment of apprentices. The responsibility for compliance with these provisions is fixed with the prime

00020 - 18 -

Contractor for all apprenticeship occupations. Under these sections of the law, Contractors and Subcontractors must employ apprentices in apprenticeship occupations, where journeymen in the craft are employed on the public work, in a ratio of not less than one apprentice hour for each five journeymen hours (unless an exemption is granted in accordance with 1777.5) and Contractors and Subcontractors shall not discriminate among otherwise qualified employees as indentured apprentices on any public work solely on the ground of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or age, except as provided in 3077 of the Labor Code. Only apprentices, as defined in 3077, which provides that an apprentice must be at least 16 years of age, who are in training under apprenticeship standards and who have signed written apprentice agreements will be employed on public works in apprenticeship occupations. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or the California Department of Industrial Relations. An Apprentice Training Plan which includes the names, occupational class, number of trainees per classification, USDOL program name and registered trainee certifications are required for all apprentices working on this project.

E. Payroll Records

1. Contractor shall keep accurate payroll records on forms provided by the Division of Labor Standards

Enforcement, or alternatively, the Contractor shall keep accurate payroll records containing the same information. Said information shall include, but not be limited to, a record of the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, or worker employed by the Contractor. Such record shall be made available for inspection at all reasonable hours, and a copy shall be made available to employee or his authorized representative, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards in compliance with California Labor Code, Section 1776. Upon written notice from the Owner or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, the Contractor shall, within ten (10) days, file with the Owner a certified copy of the payroll records. The Contractor shall cause an identical clause to be included in every subcontract for the work.

FEDERAL WAGE REQUIREMENTS

Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in these Contract Documents. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes "helper" (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.
