1.5 PARTNERING

To most effectively accomplish this Contract, the Government requires the formation of a cohesive partnership within the Project Team whose members are from the Government Construction Team, the Contractor and their Subcontractors. Key personnel from the Government Construction team, Construction Subject Matter Experts, the Contractor and Subcontractors, will be invited to participate in the Partnering process. The Partnership will draw on the strength of each organization in an effort to achieve a project that is without any safety mishaps, conforms to the Contract, and stays within budget and on schedule. Small projects should have an Issue Resolution Matrix at a minimum. As project increase in size/complexity, the partnering processes will expand accordingly.

1.5.1 Informal Partnering

The Contracting Officer will organize the Partnering Sessions with key personnel of the project team, including Contractor personnel and Government personnel. The Initial Partnering session will be a part of the Pre-Construction Meeting. Partnering sessions will be held at a location agreed to by the Contracting Officer and the Contractor. The Initial Informal Partnering Session will be conducted and facilitated using electronic media (a video and accompanying forms) provided by the Contracting Officer. The Partners will determine the frequency of the follow-on sessions, at no more than three to six month intervals.

Informal Partnering is led by Resident Engineer personnel at the Pre-Construction Conference.

1.6 UTILITIES

It is anticipated that pole lines, signs, pipelines and private improvements that would interfere with or are to be replaced by new construction will be removed to new locations by the owners (or by the State of California or its agents) in advance of construction operations.

Notify the Contracting Officer at least 30 calendar days in advance of the date on which work will be started requiring the removal of such utilities or private improvements. Care must be taken to preserve and protect any such improvements from injury or damage during construction operations.

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 3 July 2020

Assume full responsibility for reimbursing the owners for any damage to their properties, utilities, or improvements, or interference with their services caused through construction operations. Should such damage be found to have been caused without the Contractor's fault or negligence an equitable adjustment in the amount due under the Contract will be made under the applicable CONTRACT CLAUSES. If unplanned utilities are discovered during construction the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall coordinate with utility owners and the Contracting Officer for utilities identified to be protected in place on the Plans.

Contact information for utility owners are shown on the Plans.

1.7 PLANNED UTILITY OUTAGES AND STREET CLOSURES

Power outages must be restricted to off-duty hours and weekends. Other utilities may be connected and streets closed during normal working hours with the outage duration and street closure as short as possible. All outages and street closures must be scheduled as far in advance as possible with the Contracting Officer and in no case less than 7 days before the outage or closure.

1.8 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather. In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the Contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

b. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather-dependent activities.

MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY

WORK DAYS BASED ON (5) DAY WORK WEEK

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC

8 7 7 3 2 0 0 0 1 2 5 8

Upon execution of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the Contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day.

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 4 July 2020

Refer to ER 415-1-15 .

1.9 BID ITEM OVERRUN

Throughout the Contract (at a minimum, every two weeks), monitor placement or installation of unit price items (if any) with respect to the original estimated quantities shown in the Contract. If placement or installation indicates a possible overrun with respect to the original estimated quantities shown in the Contract, immediately provide written notification to the Contracting Officer with revised total estimated quantities.

1.10 WARRANTY OF CONSTRUCTION

a. Performance Bond.

(1) It is understood that the Contractor's Performance Bond will remain effective throughout the life of all warranties and warranty extensions.

(2) In the event the Contractor or his designated representative fails to commence and diligently pursue any work required under the Warranty of Construction Section of the Technical Provisions within a reasonable time after receipt of written notification pursuant to the requirements thereof, the Contracting Officer must have a right to demand that said work be performed under the Performance Bond by making written notice on the surety. If the surety fails or refuses to perform the obligation it assumed under the Performance Bond, the Contracting Officer must have the work performed by others, and after completion of the work, must make demand for reimbursement of any or all expenses incurred by the Government while performing the work, including, but not limited to administrative expenses.

(3) Warranty repair work which arises to threaten the health or safety of personnel, the physical safety of property or equipment, or which impairs operations, habitability of living spaces, etc., will be handled by the Contractor on an immediate basis as directed verbally by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative. Written verification will follow verbal instructions. Failure of the Contractor to respond as verbally directed will be cause for the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative to have the warranty repair work performed by others and to proceed against the Contractor as outlined in the paragraph b. above.

1.11 NON CONTRACT WORK

Do not perform any work or erect any structure for third parties, landowners or otherwise, within the limits of construction shown on the Plans without prior approval of the Contracting Officer.
