1.13 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 has 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 will have the work performed by others, and after completion of the work, 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., SECTION 01 00 00 Page 10 AMD-03 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 (a)2 above.
(b) Pre-Warranty Conference. Prior to contract completion and at a time designated by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative, meet with the Contracting Officer to develop a mutual understanding with respect to the requirements the Warranty of Construction FAR Clause ( https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52246-21-warranty-construction).
Communication procedures for Contractor notification of warranty defects, priorities with respect to the type of defect, reasonable time required for Contractor response, and other details deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative for the execution of the construction warranty will be established/reviewed at this meeting.
In connection with these requirements and at the time of the Contractor's quality control completion inspection, the Contractor will furnish the name, telephone number and address of a licensed and bonded company which is authorized to initiate and pursue warranty work action on behalf of the Contractor. This single point of contact will be located within the local service area of the warranted construction, will be continuously available, and will be responsive to Government inquiry on warranty work action and status. This requirement does not relieve the Contractor of any of his responsibilities in connection with the Warranty of Construction FAR Clause (link above).
(c) Equipment Warranty Identification Tags. Provide warranty identification tags on all equipment installed under this contract.
(d) Contractor's Response to Warranty Service Requirements. The following warranty service requirements are applicable to this contract.
Following notification by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative, respond to a warranty service requirement identified by the Contracting Officer's Representative in accordance with the "Warranty Service Priority List" of this program. This list prioritizes warranty work into the categories:
First Priority 1A: Perform on-site inspection to evaluate situation, determine course of action, initiate work within 24 hours and work continuously to completion or relief.
Second Priority 1B: Perform on-site inspection to evaluate situation, determine course of action, initiate work within 48 hours and work continuously to completion of relief.
Third Priority: All other work to be initiated within 5 work days and work continuously to completion or relief.
The "Warranty Service Priority List" is compiled by the Contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer.
Should parts be required to complete the work and the parts are not
SECTION 01 00 00 Page 11 AMD-03 immediately available, provide the Contracting Officer's Representative with firm written proposals for emergency alternatives and temporary repairs for Government participation within 12 hours after arrival at the job site, and provide emergency relief until the required parts are available on site for the Contractor to perform permanent warranty repair. Include a firm date and time that the required parts can be available on site to complete the permanent warranty repair. The Contracting Officer's Representative will evaluate the proposed alternatives and negotiate the alternative considered to be in the best interest of the Government to reduce the impact of the emergency condition. Alternatives considered by the Contracting Officer's Representative will include the alternative for the Contractor to "Do Nothing" while waiting until the required parts are available to perform permanent warranty repair. Negotiating a proposal which will require Government participation and the expenditure of Government funds must constitute a separate procurement action by the using service.
(e) Government Retained Architect-Engineer (A/E). The Government may retain the services of an A/E to increase the level of confidence that the construction Contractor has complied with the requirements of the construction contract. The A/E's role in observing, monitoring or inspecting the activities of the construction Contractor is not intended in any way to require the A/E to assume any responsibility for the construction methods, means, techniques or procedures, including any health or safety requirements, be subjected to non-meritorious litigation relating to site accidents or other circumstances associated with the construction Contractor's activities. The A/E must be named as an additional insured on all comprehensive general liability insurance policies carried by the construction Contractor.
1.14 NON CONTRACT WORK
Do not perform any work or erect any structure for third parties, landowners or otherwise, within the limits of the rights-of-way without prior approval of the Contracting Officer.

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 15 AMD-03
1.17.6 Locking Gates and Bollards
The Contractor must protect and operate the existing gates and bollards that control access to the Project right-of-way in conformance with Government requirements. These requirements include preventing passage through the gates of unauthorized persons and equipment during periods of Contractor use of the gates, and locking the gates every night and during non-construction periods.
1.17.7 Construction Access
The Contractor's construction access points to the staging areas and the job site by the Contractor's personnel and material and equipment deliveries are limited to those shown on the Plans and defined in the Specifications. The Contractor must not access the work areas where a road adjoins the construction limit unless it is designated as an access point in the Plans or Specifications. Paved areas at these controlled access points must be swept each day, or more frequently as required, by the Contractor to control dust and clean up material tracked or spilled on said paved areas or roadways. Roadways on which construction workers are allowed to reach the specified access locations must also be as shown on the Plans or as approved by the Government. The Contractor's personnel must not park within 200-feet of a school. Two-way traffic flow must be maintained on arterial roadways accessing active work areas, unless otherwise allowed by the appropriate jurisdiction. Stockpiling of construction materials, including portable equipment, vehicles, and supplies, must be restricted to areas within designated construction limits or Contractor's own facilities.
The Contractor must conform to all governing codes, laws, and ordinances.
"Light vehicle" as used on the drawings applies to vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 8,500 lbs.
Contractor must use staging areas and the work area on the levee to stage or queue equipment and to establish material delivery and storage areas, including during off-work hours if needed. Contractor equipment and personnel, including haul vehicles delivering materials or equipment to the job site, may not idle, park, or stage in residential streets.
The Contractor must prepare and submit a Temporary Ramp and Ramp Modification Plan that must describe construction of temporary ramps and modification of existing ramps, if any are proposed by the Contractor, including documentation of the existing conditions (vegetation, fencing, etc.), extent of removal of existing features, and restoration of the affected portions of the area to the preconstruction topography, surfacing, and vegetation. Fencing must be reconstructed to the existing condition and temporary fencing must be removed.

Schedule Constraints Related to Access to Miller Park Facilities
Contractor must minimize impacts to public use of Broadway, Miller Park, and Sacramento Marina facilities. Public use of such facilities is heaviest between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend both included.
Contractor must prevent road or parking lot closures and minimize other restrictions or impacts to the public during this period of heaviest public use of the Park and Marina facilities. In addition, the boat ramp undergoes annual dredging, which typically occurs in mid-October but may be scheduled earlier in wet years that result in heavy sedimentation. The City of Sacramento transports dredge tailings from the Boat Ramp to the overflow parking area (located just south of Front Street and east of the railroad tracks) that has been designated as a potential staging area for Contractor use. Contractor's cutoff wall construction activities must be planned and coordinated with the City of Sacramento and scheduled in such a manner to avoid interference with the City's dredging operations and City's use of the staging area. The staging area will not be available for Contractor's use while the City is using it to stockpile dredge tailings.
Consequently, the following constraints apply to all construction activities in Miller Park and the Sacramento Marina facilities:
1. Contractor must schedule cutoff wall construction and associated pavement reconstructions within Miller Park and Sacramento Marina facilities to begin and be completed before Memorial Day or to begin after Labor Day weekend and during a period that does not conflict with the Sacramento Marina boat ramp dredging operations and the City's use of the staging area south of Front Street.
2. When working in the Miller Park and Sacramento Marina facilities, no work may occur during weekends or holidays.
3. Closure of vehicle access to the north end of Miller Park Circle and the parking spaces within the work area, except for the intersection with Front Street, is limited to a period of one month.
4. Contractor must allow continuous and uninterrupted pedestrian access to the Miller Park Marina gates and piers throughout the cutoff wall construction period.
5. Broadway and Front Street must remain open at all times during construction.
6. Contractor must provide traffic-rated steel plates, barricades and other measures to enable safe traffic access across the cutoff wall work area during the cutoff wall construction period prior to reconstruction of the pavement.
Contractor must provide public notice by appropriate means, such as internet postings, letters, or telephone calls, to emergency service providers, the Sacramento Marina (2710 Ramp Way, Sacramento CA 95818, phone 916-808-5712), and the public at least 72 hours prior to all road closures and detours. In addition, Contractor must coordinate with the manager of the Sacramento Marina on the daily activities on a daily basis and provide weekly work schedule in advance of each week when working in Miller Park.
1.17.9 Noise Control
The Contractor must comply with the provisions of this Section of the Contract Documents to avoid and minimize noise impacts from the construction activities. The Contractor must comply with City of Sacramento Noise Control Ordinance, Sacramento County Code Chapter 6.68, Section 01 57 19 Environmental Protection, and other applicable requirements. In addition, the following measures must be implemented to limit noise:
SECTION 01 00 00 Page 17 AMD-03
South of Sutterville Road, prohibit the start-up of machines or equipment and engine braking prior to 7 a.m. and after 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Locate stationary construction equipment, such as compressors, away from nearby residential areas to the extent practical and provide acoustical shielding.
Minimize idling times of equipment either by shutting equipment off when not in use or by reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes.
Prohibit idling of construction equipment and delivery trucks in residential streets.
Locate and use equipment as far away as practical from noise-sensitive areas (residential areas and recreational facilities).
Use electrically powered equipment instead of internal combustion equipment where practicable and feasible.
Provide written notification to the potentially affected residents, identifying the type, duration, and frequency of construction activities within 1,000 feet of residences prior to construction. Notification materials must also identify a mechanism for residents to register complaints with the appropriate jurisdiction if construction noise levels are overly intrusive or construction occurs outside the permitted hours.
Locate fixed construction equipment (e.g., compressors and generators), construction staging and stockpiling areas, and construction vehicle routes as far as practical from noise-sensitive receptors.
Use noise-attenuating buffers such as structures, truck trailers, or soil piles between noise generation sources and sensitive receptors, where feasible and particularly in locations subject to prolonged construction.
1.17.10 Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle
The Contractor must comply with the following requirements and as specified in Section 01 57 19 Environmental Protection and the Biological Opinion issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:
- The Contractor must fence (orange plastic fence, unless otherwise required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinion) elderberry shrubs that are designated to be protected on the Plans or as directed by the Contracting Officer. Where feasible, fencing must be placed at the edge of a one hundred (100) foot buffer around the drip line of the shrub. Smaller buffers may be established as necessary, such as adjacent to levee degrade areas, within and adjacent to staging areas, and adjacent to haul routes, as approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or Government. The Contractor's biologist must mark the locations of shrubs in the field and work with the Contractor to establish appropriate fence placement. All protected elderberry shrubs and associated buffers must be avoided by all construction personnel.
The Contractor must install signs every fifty (50) feet along the perimeter of the avoidance area identifying the area as habitat for the beetle.
- No insecticides, herbicides, or other chemicals that might harm the
SECTION 01 00 00 Page 18 AMD-03
Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle or Elderberry shrubs can be used within 100 feet of the elderberry shrubs or the fenced areas.
- One elderberry shrub within or immediately adjacent to grading limits will be removed and relocated by others under separate contract as shown on the Plans.
- If any elderberry shrub not identified by the Government or on the Plans are encountered within grading areas, the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer immediately to arrange for their removal and relocation by others.
1.17.11 Provisions Regarding Maintaining Minimum Flood Protection During Construction
The Contractor must not begin activities that reduce the level of flood protection, as determined by the Government, prior to April 15. In addition, the Government may determine, based on reservoir and river stages, weather conditions, snowpack estimates, and/or forecasted river levels, that levee degrade operations may need to be delayed beyond April
15. Contractor must receive Government's written approval of the date of levee degrade initiation before proceeding with levee excavation.
Contractor must monitor actual and forecasted water levels in the Sacramento River and upstream tributaries daily, and must be prepared to respond to forecasted high water conditions in a proactive manner. In the event high water is forecasted, the Contractor must restore the levee line and grade to provide a minimum of three feet of freeboard above the maximum forecast river stage (up to the elevation of the existing levee) and take precautions to secure and protect the Work and the site against damage during passage of the flood. In addition, Contractor must remove personnel, materials, equipment, and temporary facilities from within the floodway at least 24 hours before the water level is predicted to reach the work areas or waterside staging areas.
Prior to mobilizing to the site and at least 15 days prior to any levee excavation, Contractor must submit a Flood Contingency Response Plan. The plan will include a schedule with clearly defined date of levee degrade initiation, interim construction stages, and completion dates, and a flood emergency contingency plan to be implemented by the Contractor in the event the water surface elevation of the Sacramento River is forecasted by the State-Federal Flood Forecast Center to increase significantly for any reason. Specific items to be addressed must include but not be limited to the following:
- The Flood Contingency Plan must outline the contingency operations in the event that river elevations are forecasted to rise above the minimum height of containment, as defined in the table below.
- The contingency plan must include the length of levee to be degraded at any one time and the proposed measures to protect the landside areas that have a reduced level of protection due to construction activities.
- Schedule for construction activities that will result in the temporary reduction of the flood protection afforded by the existing levee, such as the temporary lowering of the levee crest.
- Schedule for construction activities that will occur in the floodway and list of equipment and materials that will be located within the
SECTION 01 00 00 Page 19 AMD-03 floodway.
- A description of how precipitation and river level forecasts and actual levels will be monitored at the site, including the names of the persons responsible for monitoring the river levels and forecasts and how they will communicate with construction staff and the Government.
- The measures to be undertaken before, during and after a significant rainfall or flood event, including information on how equipment or stockpiles within the floodway will be removed or secured if their removal is impractical.
- Identification of contingency actions, procedures and specific time factors for:
o River stage monitoring, and flood warning protocols and procedures o Communication channels and command structure for flood preparation and response activities o Materials and equipment available for implementation of the contingency plan, including location(s) of borrow source(s) that the Contractor will use to implement the plan and existing locations, types and quantities of stockpiled emergency materials o Securing and monitoring the site during floods.
The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to stop excavation and to begin continuous operations to complete all partially completed section(s) of the levee embankment, the slurry cutoff wall including…
