connection speed. The Bonfire portal can be accessed using Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or
Mozilla Firefox. Javascript must be enabled. Browser cookies must be enabled.
Electronic submission is subject to electronic interface latency, which can result in transmission
delays. All bidders or proposers assume the risk of late transmission/ submission. The City shall
not be held liable if an interested bidder or proposer is unable to submit a complete bid/response
before the published deadline due to transmission delays or any other technical issues or
obstructions. The City strongly recommends allowing sufficient time to complete the submission
process (ideally a week before the deadline) to begin the uploading process and to finalize your
submission to give adequate time in the event an issue arises.
All submissions must be submitted electronically prior to the close date and time under the
respective Project via the Procurement Portal:

requirements of the procurement specifications cannot be ascertained, such submission will be
rejected without liability to the City, unless such bidder provides clear and convincing evidence
(a) of the content of the submission as originally submitted and (b) that the unreadable condition
of the Electronic Bid was caused solely by error or malfunction of the Bonfire Platform
(Procurement Portal). Failure to scan a clear or readable copy of a bid into the system does not

GENERAL CONDITIONS
Page 44 of 63
a. the pre -bid allowances include the cost to Contractor of materials and equipment required
by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes; and
b. Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the Site, labor, installation, overhead,

of City.
D. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued to reflect actual amounts due
Contractor on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be

11.03 UnitPrice Work
A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to
the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated
quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement.
B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the
purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the
actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by
City subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.05.
C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate to
cover Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. Work described in the

but not identified in the listing of unit price items shall be considered incidental to unit price work
listed and the cost of incidental work included as part of the unit price.
D. City may make an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with Paragraph 12.01 if:
1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and
significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement; and

2. If the changes in quantities or alterations significantly change the character of work, the
Contract will be amended by a Change Order.
3. If no unit prices exist, this will be considered Extra Work and the Contract will be amended
by a Change Order in accordance with Article 12.
4. A significant change in the character of work occurs when:
a. the character of work for any Item as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that
in the Contract or
b. a Major Item of work varies by more than 25% from the original Contract quantity.
5. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is more than
125% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may
request an adjustment to the unit price on the portion of the work that is above 125%.
6. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is less than 75%
of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request
an adjustment to the unit price.
11.04 Plans Quantity Measurement
A. Plans quantities may or may not represent the exact quantity of work performed or material moved,
handled, or placed during the execution of the Contract. The estimated bid quantities are
designated as final payment quantities, unless revised by the governing Section or this Article.
B. If the quantity measured as outlined under "Price and Payment Procedures" varies by more than
25% (or as stipulated under "Price and Payment Procedures" for specific Items) from the total
estimated quantity for an individual Item originally shown in the Contract Documents, an
adjustment may be made to the quantity of authorized work done for payment purposes. The party
to the Contract requesting the adjustment will provide field measurements and calculations
showing the final quantity for which payment will be made. Payment for revised quantity will be
made at the unit price bid for that Item, except as provided for in Article 10.
C. When quantities are revised by a change in design approved by the City, by Change Order, or to
correct an error, or to correct an error on the plans, the plans quantity will be increased or decreased
by the amount involved in the change, and the 25% variance will apply to the new plans quantity.
D. If the total Contract quantity multiplied by the unit price bid for an individual Item is less than
$250 and the Item is not originally a plans quantity Item, then the Item may be paid as a plans
quantity Item if the City and Contractor agree in writing to fix the final quantity as a plans quantity.

and agreement to a lump sum or unit price is not reached under Paragraph 12.0t.B.2, on the
basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.01) plus a Contractor's
fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 12.01.Q.
C. Contractor's Fee: The Contractor's additional fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as

12.02 Change of Contract Time
A. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order.

12.03 Delays
A. Where Contractor is reasonably delayed in the performance or completion of any part of the
Work within the Contract Time due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the Contract Time
may be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a Contract Claim is made
therefor. Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts or
neglect by City, acts or neglect of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as
contemplated by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, or acts of God.
Such an adjustment shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for the delays described in

Contractor on or in connection with any other project or anticipated project.
C. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Time for delays

qualifications stated in the recommendation).
3. Processing any such payment will not thereby be deemed to have represented that:
a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed
have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved

15.02 City May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events by way of example, but not of limitation,
may justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents
(including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials
or equipment, failure to adhere to the Project Schedule established under Paragraph 2.07 as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Paragraph 6.04, or failure to adhere to the City's

3. Contractor's repeated disregard of the authority of City; or
4. Contractor's violation in any substantial way of any provisions of the Contract Documents;
or
5. Contractor's failure to promptly make good any defect in materials or workmanship, or
defects of any nature, the correction of which has been directed in writing by the City; or
6. Substantial indication that the Contractor has made an unauthorized assignment of the
Contract or any funds due therefrom for the benefit of any creditor or for any other purpose;
or
7. Substantial evidence that the Contractor has become insolvent or bankrupt, or otherwise
financially unable to carry on the Work satisfactorily; or
8. Contractor commences legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the City.

to Contractor and Surety to arrange a conference with Contractor and Surety to address
Contractor's failure to perform the Work. Conference shall be held not later than 15 days, after
receipt of notice.
1. If the City, the Contractor, and the Surety do not agree to allow the Contractor to proceed to
perform the construction Contract, the City may, to the extent permitted by Laws and
Regulations, declare a Contractor default and formally terminate the Contractor's right to
complete the Contract. Contractor default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after the
Contractor and Surety have received notice of conference to address Contractor's failure to
perform the Work.

stored at the Site or for which City has paid Contractor or Surety but which are stored
elsewhere, and finish the Work as City may deem expedient.
3. Whether City or Surety completes the Work, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds
all claims, costs, losses and damages sustained by City arising out of or resulting from
completing the Work, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs, losses and
damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to City. Such claims,
costs, losses and damages incurred by City will be incorporated in a Change Order, provided
that when exercising any rights or remedies under this Paragraph, City shall not be required to
obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
4. Neither City, nor any of its respective consultants, agents, officers, directors or employees
shall be in any way liable or accountable to Contractor or Surety for the method by which the
completion of the said Work, or any portion thereof, may be accomplished or for the price paid
therefor.
5. City, notwithstanding the method used in completing the Contract, shall not forfeit the right
to recover damages from Contractor or Surety for Contractor's failure to timely complete the
entire Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim on account of the method used
by City in completing the Contract.
6. Maintenance of the Work shall continue to be Contractor's and Surety's responsibilities as
provided for in the bond requirements of the Contract Documents or any special guarantees
provided for under the Contract Documents or any other obligations otherwise prescribed by

begins within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure to perform
and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of said notice.
D. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any
rights or remedies of City against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any
retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by City will not release Contractor from liability.
E. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of
Paragraph 5.02, the termination procedures of that bond shall not supersede the provisions of this
Article.

18 e. In the event of overlapping changes, use different colors for the overlapping
19 changes.
20 5. Conversion of schematic layouts
21 a. In some cases on the Drawings, arrangements of conduits, circuits, piping,
22 ducts, and similar items, are shown schematically and are not intended to
23 portray precise physical layout.
24 1) Final physical arrangement is determined by the Contractor, subject to the
25 City's approval.
26 2) However, design of future modifications of the facility may require
27 accurate information as to the final physical layout of items which are
28 shown only schematically on the Drawings.
29 b. Show on the job set of Record Drawings, by dimension accurate to within 1
30 inch, the centerline of each run of items.
31 1) Final physical arrangement is determined by the Contractor, subject to the
32 City's approval.

3.4 INSTALLATION
A. Mechanical Joints
1. Assemble mechanical joints in accordance with ANSFAWWA C111/A21.11
Appendix A, AWWA C600 and AWWA Manual M41.
2. Use Standard Xylan Coated T-bolts and Nuts.
a. Stainless Steel T-bolts with Xylan Coated Stainless Steel Nuts shall only be
used when specifically required in the Drawings.
B. Flanged Joints
1. Install in accordance with ASME PCC-1-2012.
2. Use Stainless Steel Bolts and Xylan Coated Nuts.
3. Wrap all buried steel flanges for AWWA C200, C301 or C303 pipe with
Petrolatum Tape System.
a. If only 1 flange in a joint is steel (AWWA C200, C301, or C303), petrolatum
tape wrapping will be required.
b. If a joint is made between two ductile iron flanges, the joint should be
polyethylene encased in accordance with Section 33 11 10.
4. Flange bolts are normally spaced evenly around the flange.
During assembly, tighten nuts gradually and equally using a three -pass method in
accordance with ASME PCC-1-2012.
a. For the first pass, tighten the nuts to 50 percent at diametrically opposite sides
to prevent misalignment and to ensure that all bolts carry equal loads.
b. For the second pass, tighten the nuts to 100 percent again in a diametrically
opposite pattern.
c. Allow a minimum of 1 hour to pass to provide time for settlement between
bolts and nuts and gasket relaxation.
d. Complete the third pass by checking each bolt in a clockwise pattern. Each nut
should be tightened until it will no longer turn. This step compensates for
elastic interaction and brings all bolts into parity.
6. The threads of the bolts should protrude a minimum of 1/2-inch from the nuts.
C. Flanged Joints with Isolation Kit
1. Flange Isolation Kits shall be installed in accordance with Section 33 04 10.
2. City will verify Isolation in accordance with Section 33 04 10.
D. Threaded Rod

2. Space rods evenly around the pipe.
3. During assembly, tighten nuts gradually and equally using a three -pass method in
accordance with ASME PCC-1-2012.
a. For the first pass, tighten the nuts to 50 percent at diametrically opposite sides
to prevent misalignment and to ensure that all bolts carry equal loads.
b. For the second pass, tighten the nuts to 100 percent again in a diametrically
opposite pattern.
4. The threads of the bolts should protrude a minimum of %2-inch from the nuts.

1) Base pipe design on pipe stiffness, soil stiffness and load on the pipe.
2) Design pipe according to the Modified Iowa Formula as detailed by the
Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association in the Handbook of PVC Pipe, using the
following parameters:
a) Unit Weight of Fill (w) = 130 pounds per cubic foot
b) Live Load = AASHTO HS 20
c) Trench Depth = 12 feet minimum, or as indicated in Drawings
d) Maximum (E') = 1,000 max
e) Deflection Lag Factor (DL) = 1.0
f) Bedding Factor constant (K) = 0.1
g) Mean radius of the pipe (r), inches, as indicated in Drawings
h) Marston's load per unit length (W), pounds per inch, calculate per
Drawings
i) PVC modulus of elasticity (E) = 400,000 psi

pipe type and size
(1) Where (t) = pipe thickness, inches
k) Maximum Calculated Deflection = 5 percent
h. Pipe Flotation: If the pipe is buried in common saturated soil (about 120 pounds
per cubic foot) with at least 1'/z pipe diameters of cover, pipe is generally not
subject to flotation. If shallower, check groundwater flotation potential.
Flotation will occur if
Fb>Wp+Wf+Wd
Where: Fb = buoyant force, pound per foot
Wp = empty pipe weight, pound per foot
Wf = weight of flooded soil, pound per foot
Wd = weight of dry soil, pound per foot
Values and formulas for the above variables can be obtained from the pipe
manufacturer and site -specific soil conditions.
i. Verify trench depths after existing utilities are located.
j. Accommodate vertical alignment changes required because of existing utility or
other conflicts by an appropriate change in pipe design depth.
k. In no case shall pipe be installed deeper than its design allows.

4 A. Each structure willbe visually inspected by the City the same day following the
5 application.
6 B. Groundwater infiltration of the system shall be zero.
7 C. All pipe connections shall be open and clear.
8 D. The inspector will check for deficiencies, pinholes, voids, cracks, uncured spots,
9 delamination, and thin spots. Any deficiencies in the liner shall be marked and repaired
10 according to the procedures outlined by the Manufacturer.
11 E. If leaks are detected they will be chipped back, plugged and coated immediately with
12 protective epoxy resin coating.
13 1. Make repair 24 hours after leak detection.
14 F. Post Installation Coating Tests
15 1. Wet Film Testing
16 2. Adhesion Testing
17 a. Adhesion test the liner at a minimum of three locations (cone area, mid -section,
18 and bottom of the structure). For structures exceeding 6-feet add one additional
19 test for every additional 6-feet. For example: 6-foot manhole— 3 tests. 6-feet, 1-
20 inch manhole thru 11-feet, 11-inch manhole — 4 tests, 12-foot manhole — 5 tests.
21 Etc... Tests performed per ASTM D7234 — Standard Test Method for Pull -Off
22 Adhesion Strength of Coatings on Concrete Using Portable Pull -Off Adhesion
23 Testers.
24 1) Document and attest all test results repairs made and provide to the City
25 (see structure/manhole report form for adhesion testing at the end of this
26 specification).
27 2) The adhesive used to attach the dollies shall have a tensile strength greater
28 that the liner.
29 3) Failure of the dolly adhesive is deemed a non -test and requires retesting.
30 4) All the pull tests shall exceed 300 psi or concrete failure with more than
31 50% of the subsurface adhered to the coating. If over 1/3rd fail, additional tests
32 may be required by the City. If additional tests fail the City may require
33 removal and replacement of the liner at the contractor's expense.
34 3. Holiday Detection Testing
35 a. Holiday Detection test the liner per NACE SP0188 — Discontinuity (Holiday)
36 Testing of New Protective Coatings on Conductive Substrates. Mark all
37 detected holidays. Repair all holidays in accordance to coating manufacturer's
38 recommendations.
39 1) Document and attest all test results repairs made and provide to the
40 City (see structure/manhole report for holiday detection testing at the
