PROPOSED WORK

The proposed work is located within Section 31 of Township 14 South, Range 14 East, Gila and Salt River Meridian, Pima County, Arizona.

This project consists of furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to construct street lights at the intersection of Park Avenue and Ohio Street.

The work includes, but is not limited to, installation of light poles, luminaires, pull boxes, conduit, meter pedestal, and other related incidental work as shown on the City of Tucson Plan No. F-2025- 001.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

For the purpose of these Special Provisions, the terms Agency, Department, City, City of Tucson, and Engineer are synonymous.

1. Project Limits and Restrictions

The contractor shall perform all work within the public right-of-way, legally obtained easements including temporary construction easements (TCEs), legally obtained rights-of-entry (ROE), and legally acquired property by the City of Tucson. The contractor shall assume all responsibility and liability for any encroachment upon private property.

The contractor shall field verify all existing conditions shown on plans and specified herein prior to beginning construction. Any significant deviations to the conditions that may affect the timely construction of improvements shall be brought to the attention of the Engineer within 24 hours of discovery. Prior to delivery of any equipment, materials or supplies to the site of any work, or the beginning of any construction work, it is strongly recommended that the contractor take pre-construction photos or videos as deemed appropriate for establishing the conditions existing in all the areas that may be affected by the construction.

2. Construction Sequencing

The Contractor shall schedule a pre-construction meeting within 14 calendar days of notice of award and the meeting shall be held within 30 days of notice of award. The Contractor shall be issued a Notice to Proceed at the pre-construction meeting. The Contractor will have 150 calendar days to complete all work. At the pre-construction meeting the Contractor shall submit a construction schedule for the project that meets or decreases the allotted construction calendar timeframes and calendar contract days.

Because this project includes items with long delivery times, namely light poles, the following sequencing will be used to minimize contractor down time:

SP-5 of 23

Once the contract has been awarded and signed, the Contractor shall be issued a Notice to Proceed.

This will begin Phase 1 of the contract and will allow the Contractor to proceed with ordering all long lead items, including but not limited to: poles, luminaires and associated appurtenances. The Contractor will have 120 calendar days in which to order and receive confirmation of a shipment date of the equipment related to the new street lights for this project. During this 120-day period, no construction activities will be allowed. Upon ordering the aforementioned equipment, the Contractor shall provide written documentation showing that the equipment was ordered and the anticipated delivery date. The Engineer is to be apprised of changes in this delivery date.

If the delivery of the aforementioned equipment occurs within the 120-day Phase 1 period, the Contractor shall be allowed to begin the Phase 2 portion of the contract. In Phase 2, the Contractor shall be given 30 calendar days to complete the work as shown on the project plans for this project.

At the end of 120 calendar days, Phase 1 shall be deemed complete and notice to proceed shall be issued for Phase 2, regardless of whether equipment delivery has been completed. Requests by the Contractor for additional contract time to order materials above and beyond the 120 calendar days specified for Phase 1 shall be evaluated in accordance with the requirements of Section 108- 8 of the Standard Specifications.

All other items of work shall be completed and accepted by the Engineering Representative during a Final Inspection. If the Final Inspection should reveal work that is not completed or is unacceptable to the Engineering Representative for any reason, a "punch list" of these items shall be generated and provided to the Contractor. Substantial completion (for the purpose of stopping the contract time) will be granted in accordance with Section 105-20 of the specifications. Once substantial completion is granted, the Contractor shall actively work to achieve Final Acceptance of construction of the Contract within fifteen (15) calendar days from the Substantial Completion date of that phase. Failure to prosecute the remaining work within this time period will result in the resumption of time charges and the application of liquidated damages from the date scheduled for final acceptance. When the work on this list has been satisfactorily completed, Final Acceptance shall be given for all items of work.
