NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. RESULTS TO BE ACHIEVED. Contractor shall perform the work described in

4. CHANGES IN WORK.
A. Contractor shall make no changes in the Work without written direction from the

direction. No changes in the Work covered by this Agreement shall exonerate any surety
or any bond given in connection with this Agreement.
B. If the City directs the Contractor in writing to make changes in the Work that
materially affect the cost of performing the Work, the Contract Price will be adjusted
based on one of the following:
i. Where the work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the
Contract Documents, by application of unit prices to the quantities involved

Work;

5. LABOR.
A. The Contract is subject to the provisions of Part 7 of Division 2 of the California
Labor Code (Sections 1720 and following), and Contractor and any subcontractor shall
pay not less than the prevailing rates of wage to all workers employed in performance of
the Work. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1770 of the Labor Code of the State of
California, the City has obtained the general prevailing rate of wages and employer
payments for health and welfare, vacation, pension and similar purposes in the vicinity of
the Work, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City, and shall be made available
for viewing to any interested party upon request.
B. As required by Labor Code Section 1773.8, the Contractor shall pay travel and
subsistence payments to each worker needed to perform the Work, as such travel and
subsistence payments are defined in the applicable collective bargaining agreements filed
in accordance with Section 1773.8.
C. Contractor and any subcontractor shall keep accurate payroll records, in
accordance with Section 1776 of the Labor Code, showing the name, address, social
security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day
and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or
other employee employed by him or her in connection with the Work.
D. The Contractor or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political
subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty-five dollars
($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the contract by the respective
contractor or subcontractor for each calendar day during which the worker is required or
permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one
calendar week in violation of the provisions of this article.
E. Contractor’s attention is directed to the provisions in Section 1777.5 and 1777.6 of
the Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices by the Contractor or any
subcontractor under the Contractor. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to
effectuate compliance on the part of itself and any subcontractors with the requirements
of said sections in the employment of apprentices. Information relative to apprenticeship
standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be obtained from the Director of
Industrial Relations, ex-officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship, San Francisco,
California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.
F. Pursuant to the requirements of Division 4 of the Labor Code, the Contractor will
be required to secure the payment of worker’s compensation to its employees in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code. Prior to
commencement of work, the Contractor shall sign and file with the Administrator a
certification in the following form:
"I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require
every employer to be insured against liability for worker’s compensation or to
undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions before commencing the
performance of the work of this contract."
6. LICENSE REQUIREMENT.
Contractor’s attention is directed to Business and
Professions Code Sections 7000 et seq. concerning the licensing of contractors. At the
time Contractor submits its bid to the City and all times Contractor is performing the
Work, Contractor shall have a valid license issued by the Contractors State License Board
in the classification stated in the Special Provisions. Contractor and all subcontractors
shall be licensed in accordance with the laws of this State and any contractor or
subcontractor not so licensed is subject to penalties imposed by such laws.
CONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE LICENSED AND
REGULATED BY THE CONTRACTORS’ STATE LICENSE BOARD
WHICH HAS JURISDICTION TO INVESTIGATE COMPLAINTS
AGAINST CONTRACTORS IF A COMPLAINT REGARDING A PATENT
ACT OR OMISSION IS FILED WITHIN FOUR YEARS OF THE DATE
OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION. A COMPLAINT REGARDING A
LATENT ACT OR OMISSION PERTAINING TO STRUCTURAL
DEFECTS MUST BE FILED WITHIN 10 YEARS OF THE DATE OF THE
ALLEGED VIOLATION. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING A
CONTRACTOR MAY BE REFERRED TO THE REGISTRAR,
CONTRACTORS’ STATE LICENSE BOARD, P.O. BOX 26000,
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95826.
7. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Contractor shall provide City with
scheduling information in a form acceptable to City, including any changes made by City
in the scheduling of work. Contractor shall coordinate its work with that of all other
contractors, subcontractors and suppliers so as not to delay or damage their performance.
It is further agreed that in case Contractor fails to complete the Work in all parts and
requirements within the Contract Time set forth in Exhibit A, the City shall have the right
to extend the Contract Time or not, as may seem best to serve the interest of the City; and
if it decides to extend the Contract Time, City shall further have the right to charge to the
Contractor, its heirs, assigns or sureties, and to deduct from the payment for the Work, all
or any part, as it may deem proper, of the actual cost of engineering, inspection,
superintendence, and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the
Contract, and which accrue during the period of such extension. In the event that
Contractor's work is delayed for any reason, including acts of City, Contractor's sole
remed y shall be an extension of time equal to the period of delay, provided Contractor
has given City written notice of the commencement of delay within 48 hours of its
occurrence. If the City accepts any work or makes any payment under this Agreement
after a default by reason of delays, the payment or payments shall in no respect constitute
a waiver or modification of any Agreement provisions regarding time of completion and
liquidated damages.
8. NOTICES. All notices or communication concerning a party's compliance with
the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and may be given either personally, by
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight express carrier. The notice shall
be deemed to have been given and received on the date delivered in person or the date
upon which the postal authority or overnight express carrier indicates that the mailing
was delivered to the address of the receiving Party. The Parties shall make good faith
efforts to provide advance courtesy notice of any notices or communications hereunder
via e-mail. However, under no circumstances shall such courtesy notice satisfy the notice
requirements set forth above; nor shall lack of such courtesy notice affect the validity of
service pursuant to the notice requirement set forth above. Any Party hereto, by giving
ten (10) days written notice to the other, may designate any other address as substitution
of the address to which the notice or communication shall be given. Notices or
communications shall be given to the Parties at the addresses set forth in Exhibit A until
specified otherwise in writing.
9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING.
A. Contractor shall give personal attention to the performance of the Contract and
shall keep the Work under its control.
B. For the purposes of administering this agreement no subcontractors will be
recognized by the City as such, and all persons engaged in the work of construction will
be considered by the City as employees of the Contractor, who will be held responsible
for their work which shall be subject to the provisions of the Contract and specifications.
C. No subcontractor who is ineligible to bid work on, or be awarded, a public works
project under Labor Code Sections 1771.1 or 1777.7 can bid on, be awarded or perform
work as a subcontractor on the Project. The Contractor is prohibited from performing
work on the Project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on a public
works project under these sections of the Labor Code.

being prosecuted in a manner satisfactory to the City, the subcontractor shall be removed
immediately on the request of the City and shall not again be employed on the work.
E. Contractor may not assign performance of the Contract except upon written
consent of the City.
10. TERMINATION.
A. Should Contractor fail within five (5) working days from receipt of City's written
notice to correct any contractual deficiencies, including but not limited to failure to
perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, failure to comply with the
directions of City, or failure to pay its creditors, City may terminate this Agreement for
default. Following a termination for default, City shall have the right to take whatever
steps it deems necessary to correct and complete the work and charge the cost thereof to
Contractor, who shall be liable for the full cost of City's corrective action, including
reasonable overhead, administrative costs, and attorneys' fees.
B. City may at any time terminate the Contract at City's convenience upon five days
written notice to Contractor; in the event of termination for convenience, Contractor shall
recover only the amount due under the contract for Work completed to the date of
termination in accordance with the Contract Documents, less amounts paid to date.
Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim or lien against City for any additional
compensation or damages in the event of such termination.
C. If City terminates Contractor for cause, and if it is later determined that the
termination was wrongful, such default termination shall automatically be converted to
and treated as a termination for convenience. In such event, Contractor shall be entitled
to receive only the amounts payable under this section, and Contractor specifically
waives any claim for any other amounts or damages, including, but not limited to, any
claim for consequential damages or lost profits.
11. HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION.
A. The City of Saratoga and all officers, employees, and agents thereof connected
with the Work, shall not be answerable or accountable in any manner: for any loss or
damage that may happen to the Work or any part thereof; for any loss or damage to any
of the materials or other things used or employed in performing the Work; for injury to or
death of any person; or for damage to property from any cause except losses due to sole
or active negligence of the City's officers or employees.
B. To the fullest extent allowed b y law, Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the City, its elected and appointed officials, employees and agents, from all
liability, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims or
judgments, including attorney's fees and other defense costs, resulting from injury to or
death sustained by any person (including Contractor's employees and subcontractors), or
damage to property of any kind, or any other injury or damage whatsoever, which injury,
death or damage arises out of or is in any way connected with the performance of the
Work, regardless of the Contractor’s fault or negligence, including any of the same
resulting from City’s alleged or actual negligent act or omission, or its agents, contractors
or employees; except that said indemnity shall not be applicable to injury, death or
damage to property arising from the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of
City, its constituent entities, its and their officers, agents, or servants who are directly
responsible to City. This indemnification shall extend to claims asserted after
termination of this Contract for whatever reason. In the event of comparative or
contributory fault between Contractor and the City or its employees and agents
(collectively, "Others"), Contractor's liability under this section shall be limited to that
portion of the claim, damage, loss, or expense (including costs and reasonable attorney's
fees) arising out of Contractor's negligence. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, it is expressly agreed that under no circumstances shall Contractor be held liable
for any incidental, special or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of
profits, whether arising under alleged breach of contract, negligence, strict liability, or
any other legal or equitable theory, and Contractor's liability shall be strictly limited to
any amounts paid to Contractor under this agreement and any applicable insurance
proceeds.
C. In addition to any remedy authorized by law, as much of the money due the
Contractor under and by virtue of the contract as shall be considered necessary by the
City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of such suits or claims
for damage.

performance of the work, or any alleged change in the work, Contractor shall timely
perform the disputed work and shall give written notice of a claim for additional
compensation for the work to City within ten (10) days after commencement of the
disputed work. Contractor's failure to give written notice within the ten (10) day period
constitutes an agreement by Contractor that it will receive no extra compensation for the
disputed work. Disputes arising under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 20104.50 of the Public Contract Code.
13. LAWS TO BE OBSERVED.

Exhibit C
Special Provisions
1. LICENSE CLASSIFICATION
In accordance with Section 3300 of the Public Contract Code, the City has determined
that the Contractor shall have a Class C28 (#819438) License at the time it submits its bid
to the City and at all times it is performing the Work.
2. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
If Contractor fails to complete the Work within the Contract Time, the City will sustain
damage. The actual occurrence of damages and the actual amount of the damages which
the City would suffer if the Work were not completed within the Contract Time would be
impracticable and extremely difficult to determine. Damages the City would suffer in the
event of delay include, but are not limited to, loss of the use of the Work, costs of
administration, inspection, supervision and the loss suffered by the public within the City.
Accordingly, the parties agree that the amount herein set forth is a reasonable estimate of
the damages which the City shall incur upon failure of the Contractor to complete the
Work within the Contract Time: Five Hundred Dollars per day ($500.00/Day), for each
calendar day by which completion of the Work is delayed beyond the Contract Time.
Contractor agrees to pay such liquidated damages as herein provided, and in case the
same are not paid, agrees that the City may deduct the amount thereof from any monies
due or that may become due to the Contractor under the Contract.
Contractor will not be assessed with liquidated damages or the cost of engineering and
inspection during the delay in the completion of the Work caused by acts of God or of the
public enemy, fire, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes,
and unusually severe weather or delays of subcontractors due to such causes, provided
that the Contractor shall within five (5) days from the beginning of any such delay notify
the Administrator, in writing, of the causes of delay. The Administrator shall ascertain
the facts and the extent of delay, and the Administrator’s findings thereon shall be final
and conclusive.
3. COOPERATION AND CARE
A. Should construction be under way by the City, other agencies or other contractors
within or adjacent to the limits of the work specified or should work of any other nature
be under way by other forces within or adjacent to said limits, the Contractor shall
cooperate with all such other contractors or other forces to the end that any delay or
hindrance to their work will be avoided. The City reserves the right to perform other or
additional work at or near the site (including material sources) at any time, by the use of
other forces.
B. Until the final acceptance of the contract, the Contractor shall have the charge and
care of the Work and of the materials to be used therein, including materials for which
partial payment has been received. The City shall not be held responsible for the care or
protection of any material or parts of the Work prior to final acceptance, except as
expressly provided in the Special Provisions.
4. PROGRESS OF THE WORK
A. Hours of work - Overtime and holidays. The Contractor shall perform all work
during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday unless otherwise
specified in the Special Provisions or authorized by the City in writing. If the Contractor
wishes to work during any other hours or on weekends, written permission must be
received from the City. The request must be received at least two (2) working days in
advance of any work. No work will be allowed on legal holidays except in the case of an
emergency. A listing of holidays observed by City is on file in the office of the City. If
Contractor requests overtime work in which the City will incurs costs, Contractor shall be
responsible for payment of the City’s costs incurred in connection with the overtime
work. The City will invoice the Contractor at time and one half to cover the costs
incurred. If Contractor does not pay the invoice within ten days, the City may deduct the
amount billed from other payments due or to become due to Contractor under the
Contract.
B. The Administrator or Administrator’s designee shall have the authority to suspend
the Work, wholly or in part, for such a period as the Administrator may deem necessary.

3. The Insurance Company agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against the City,

coverage be maintained for a period of 5 years after completion of the contract.
