Project Partnering 36 The Engineer and the Contractor’s Project Manager (PM) will plan and host a Project 37 Partnering workshop as soon as practical after Contract execution. The objective of this 38 Partnering workshop is to promote open lines of communication and teamwork between 39 the Contracting Agency and Contractor staff for the effective completion of the work, and 40 to the standard of quality that will be a source of pride to both the Contracting Agency and 41 the Contractor. Commitments made by both parties shall be memorialized in a Project 42 Partnering Agreement at the conclusion of the Partnering workshop. The Partnering 43 agreement will not affect the terms of the Contract. It is intended only to establish an 44 environment of cooperation and mutual understanding between the parties. 45 The planning and execution of the Partnering process is intended to be a collaborative 47 effort between the Engineer and the PM. The length of the partnering workshop should 48 be commensurate with the size and complexity of the project, and familiarity of the parties. 49 For simple projects an expanded pre-construction meeting may suffice. The partnering 50 workshop may be facilitated by the Engineer, the Engineer and PM, or a mutually 51 agreeable Partnering Facilitator (PF). Selection of a PF, dates and location of the 52 mailto:e-ConstructionSupport@wsdot.wa.gov mailto:e-ConstructionSupport@wsdot.wa.gov

26A012 5 workshops, materials needed for the workshop, frequency and location for follow up 1 meetings, and estimated cost associated with this effort should be discussed and agreed 2 to prior to moving forward with the Partnering process. 3 An initial 1 day (or half day) facilitated Project Partnering workshop is recommended to 5 initiate the partnering agreement. 6 The cost to retain the services of a Partnering Facilitator (if mutually selected as the PF), 8 locate and rent a neutral location to hold the workshop (if held offsite), and any additional 9 materials needed to host the workshop, will be paid by the Contractor. The Partnering 10 Field Guide is available as a resource to the Engineer and PM to assist in the planning of 11 the Partnering session(s) at the following link: 12 https://wsdot.wa.gov/publications/fulltext/construction/WSDOTProjects-Partnering-14 FieldGuide.pdf 15

The Contracting Agency will reimburse invoice cost for the Contractor provided Partnering 17 Facilitator, facilities and materials at a rate of 50% under the Bid item, “Project Partnering”. 18 After the initial Partnering workshop, quarterly follow-up meetings on projects with over 20 120 working days shall be scheduled to evaluate how the Partnering process is working, 21 acknowledge successes and opportunities for improvement. 22 When the Project Engineer and Contractor’s Project Manager have determined 24 recognition is warranted, the cost for meals and awards for recognition of project 25 partnering success shall be borne by each party. Expenses shall be divided such that 26 each party pays for their pro rata share of the expenses based on the number of people 27 receiving the meal or award. Reimbursement for expenses initially paid by one party will 28 be made to the other party under the Bid item, “Project Partnering”. 29

Payment 31 “Project Partnering”, by calculation. 32 “Project Partnering” will be calculated and paid for as described above. 33

The meaning of words and terms used in this provision shall be as listed in "Definitions of 1 Surveying and Associated Terms" current edition, published by the American Congress 2 on Surveying and Mapping and the American Society of Civil Engineers. 3 The survey work shall include but not be limited to the following: 5

1. Verify the primary horizontal and vertical control furnished by the Contracting 7 Agency, and expand into secondary control by adding stakes and hubs as well 8 as additional survey control needed for the project. Provide descriptions of 9 secondary control to the Contracting Agency. The description shall include 10 coordinates and elevations of all secondary control points. 11

2. Establish, the centerlines of all alignments, by placing hubs, stakes, or marks on 13 centerline or on offsets to centerline at all curve points (PCs, PTs, and PIs) and 14 at points on the alignments spaced no further than 50 feet. 15

3. Establish clearing limits, placing stakes at all angle points and at intermediate 17 points not more than 50 feet apart. The clearing and grubbing limits shall be 5 18 feet beyond the toe of a fill and 10 feet beyond the top of a cut unless otherwise 19 shown in the Plans. 20

4. Establish grading limits, placing slope stakes at centerline increments not more 22 than 50 feet apart. Establish offset reference to all slope stakes. If Global 23 Positioning Satellite (GPS) Machine Controls are used to provide grade control, 24 then slope stakes may be omitted at the discretion of the Contractor 25

5. Establish the horizontal and vertical location of all drainage features, placing 27 offset stakes to all drainage structures and to pipes at a horizontal interval not 28 greater than 25 feet. 29

6. Establish roadbed and surfacing elevations by placing stakes at the top of 31 subgrade and at the top of each course of surfacing. Subgrade and surfacing 32 stakes shall be set at horizontal intervals not greater than 50 feet in tangent 33 sections, 25 feet in curve sections with a radius less than 300 feet, and at 10-34 foot intervals in intersection radii with a radius less than 10 feet. Transversely, 35 stakes shall be placed at all locations where the roadway slope changes and at 36 additional points such that the transverse spacing of stakes is not more than 12 37 feet. If GPS Machine Controls are used to provide grade control, then roadbed 38 and surfacing stakes may be omitted at the discretion of the Contractor. 39

7. Establish intermediate elevation benchmarks as needed to check work 41 throughout the project. 42

8. Provide references for paving pins at 25-foot intervals or provide simultaneous 44 surveying to establish location and elevation of paving pins as they are being 45 placed. 46

9. For all other types of construction included in this provision, (including but not 48 limited to channelization and pavement marking, illumination and signals, 49 guardrails and barriers, and signing) provide staking and layout as necessary to 50 adequately locate, construct, and check the specific construction activity. 51

10. Contractor shall determine if changes are needed to the profiles or roadway 1 sections shown in the Contract Plans in order to achieve proper smoothness 2 and drainage where matching into existing features, such as a smooth transition 3 from new pavement to existing pavement. The Contractor shall submit these 4 changes to the Engineer for review and approval 10 days prior to the beginning 5 of work. 6

The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Agency copies of any calculations and 8 staking data when requested by the Engineer. 9 The Contractor shall ensure a surveying accuracy within the following tolerances: 11

Vertical Horizontal 13

0.1 feet 31 (normal to alignment) 32

The Contracting Agency may spot-check the Contractor's surveying. These spot-checks 34 will not change the requirements for normal checking by the Contractor. 35 When staking roadway alignment and stationing, the Contractor shall perform 37 independent checks from different secondary control to ensure that the points staked are 38 within the specified survey accuracy tolerances. 39 The Contractor shall calculate coordinates for the alignment. The Contracting Agency will 41 verify these coordinates prior to issuing approval to the Contractor for commencing with 42 the work. The Contracting Agency will require up to seven calendar days from the date 43 the data is received. 44 Contract work to be performed using contractor-provided stakes shall not begin until the 46 stakes are approved by the Contracting Agency. Such approval shall not relieve the 47 Contractor of responsibility for the accuracy of the stakes. 48

Stakes shall be marked in accordance with Standard Plan A10.10. When stakes are 50 needed that are not described in the Plans, then those stakes shall be marked, at no 51 additional cost to the Contracting Agency as ordered by the Engineer. 52
