SECTION 01010 - SUMMARY OF WORK

1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project includes the supply, installation, and testing of ten (10) 61-strand restressable post-tensioned tiedown anchors and one (1) verification test anchor at the Cushman No. 1 Dam. The production anchors will be installed in the right and left wingwalls of the dam, five (5) per side, and will extend from the dam crest into the bedrock foundation.

The contractor shall supply all materials required to complete the work required by this contract.

In all cases, the City’s contract is with one (1) general contractor, and it is the general contractor’s responsibility to ensure all work required to provide a complete and operational facility is included in their bid. When possible, the City has attempted to reference work which should be coordinated with various trades, but it is the contractor’s responsibility to coordinate and schedule the work of all subcontractors, trades, and suppliers to assure the proper and timely prosecution and completion of all items of work.

Major components of work under this contract include, but are not limited to, the following list:

• Installation and Testing of Ten (10), 61-Strand Restressable Post-Tensioned Anchors

• Installation and Testing of One (1) Verification Test Anchor

A. CONCEPT OF SCHEDULE

Notice to proceed is estimated for October 2026. Fish collection will resume in Lake Cushman on March 15, 2027, and will restrict operations in the lake and on the dam deck, primarily on the left wingwall. This is described further in Section 01040 - 1.5 Coordination With Others.

1.2 PROJECT LOCATION

This project is located at the Cushman No. 1 Dam, 391 N Standstill Drive S, Hoodsport, WA 98548. The project is located in Mason County, Washington.

1.3 SITE SHOWING

The bidder will be responsible for examining the site(s) and to have compared the sites with the specifications and contract drawings contained in this specification, and be satisfied as to the facilities and difficulties attending the execution of the proposed contract (such as uncertainty of weather, floods, nature and condition of materials to be handled and all other conditions, special work conditions including work schedules, obstacles and contingencies) before the delivery of their proposal.

No allowance will be subsequently made by the City on behalf of the bidder by reason of any error or neglect on the bidder’s part, for such uncertainties as aforesaid.

Section 01010 Page 2

A site showing will be conducted on Tuesday, August 18th, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

immediately following the pre-bid meeting. Due to the nature of this project, the bidder is responsible for examining the site prior to placing a bid. Only one (1) site showing will be conducted. It is the bidder’s responsibility to assure that they attend the site showing as scheduled. If the contractor cannot make the listed showing, they may be able to coordinate a visit to the site on their own. Failure to examine the site may be grounds to reject the bid. Tacoma Power shall make no adjustment to the price or provide any compensation to the contractor for impacts relating to the contractor’s failure to consider the potential impacts of not only the site conditions observed, but changes in the observed conditions that could have been foreseen by the contractor.

By entering into the contract, the bidder represents that they have inspected in detail the project site and has become familiar with all the physical and local conditions affecting the project and/or the project site. Any information provided by the City to the contractor, relating to existing conditions on, under, or to the project and/or site including, but not limited to information pertaining to hazardous material abatement and other conditions affecting the project site, represents only the opinion of the City as to the location, character, or quantity of such conditions and is provided only for the convenience of the contractor. The contractor shall draw their own conclusions from such information and make such tests, review, and analyses as the contractor deems necessary to understand such conditions and to prepare their proposal.

The City assumes no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the sufficiency or accuracy of such information, and there is no guarantee, either expressed or implied, that the conditions indicated or otherwise found by the contractor as a result of any examination or exploration are representative of those existing throughout the work and/or project site.

The contractor shall carefully study and compare the contract documents with each other and shall at once report to the City errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered. If the contractor performs any construction activity knowing it involves a recognized error, inconsistency or omission in the contract documents without such notice to the City, the contractor shall assume the risk and responsibility for such performance and shall bear an appropriate amount of the attributable costs for correction.

The contractor shall take field measurements and verify field conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and conditions and other information known to the contractor with the contract documents before commencing activities. Errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered shall be reported to the City at once.

1.4 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION AND COMPLETION

The contractor will be required to complete the contract documents and to provide surety and payment bonds within ten (10) calendar days after the award of the contract. The contractor shall begin the work to be performed in the contract within ten (10) calendar days after the date of notification to commence work. Notification to commence work may either be by letter or, if no letter is issued, by agreement at the preconstruction conference (or if no letter is issued, by the date the contract is executed by the City).

The contractor shall be required to complete all work within one hundred and thirty (130) working days after the date of notification to commence work. If the contractor fails to complete all work within one hundred and thirty (130) working days, the City will assess liquidated damages in accordance with Section 3.14 of the General Provisions.

The contractor shall begin purchasing material required for all work to be performed in the contract within ten (10) calendar days after the date of notification to commence work. All materials necessary to complete the job shall be staged and inspected by the engineer before any work including demolition will be started.

Section 01010 Page 3

1.5 SPECIFICATION FORMAT

This specification is written and formatted for use with WSDOT 2026 Standard Specifications and is numbered to be consistent with other specifications, including Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format, as modified by the City. It is not intended to indicate what work is to be accomplished by various subcontractors on the project. In all cases, the City’s contract is with one (1) general contractor and it is the general contractor’s responsibility to ensure all work required to provide a complete and operational facility is included in their bid.

When possible, the City has tried to reference work which should be included with various trades, but it is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure all work is properly coordinated. The numbering system in the Special Provisions Section reflects standard provisions written by the City and assigned constant numbers. Thus, gaps will appear when specific sections are not used.

1.6 CONTRACT WORK TIMES

Contract work times shall be Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding holidays, described in Section 2.14 of the General Provisions or as otherwise approved by the City.

If the contractor elects to work on a Saturday, Sunday, holiday or longer than the designated contract work times, such work shall be considered overtime work. On all such overtime work, a City engineer or their inspector must be present. The contractor shall reimburse the City for the full amount of the costs for City employees who must work any such overtime hours. It shall be the engineer's decision as to when an inspector is required.

However, if the City orders work to be performed on overtime, all City employees' overtime costs will be at no expense to the contractor. The City will not require reimbursement for overtime hours worked by the City for inspection as detailed in the General Provisions if the conditions of this paragraph are met to the satisfaction of the engineer.

It is possible that other contractors or the City will be working in the project area during the time of construction. It shall be the responsibility of this contractor to coordinate its work with all other agencies and/or contractors within the project area.
