ARPA CONTRACT PROVISIONS
The Contract may be funded in part by the federal grant funding received by the COUNTY from
the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA"). Therefore, CONTRACTOR must comply with all
federal laws and regulations applicable to the receipt of ARPA grants, including, but not limited
to, the contractual provision set forth in 2 CFR, Part 200, in connection with the
CONTRACTOR's performance of the work or services covered by the Contract (the "Project").
All such federal laws and regulations shall be deemed to be inserted in the Contract and the
Contract shall be read and enforced as though such federal laws and regulations were included
therein. In addition, the CONTRACTOR agrees to the following specific provisions:
Equal Employment Opportunity
During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The
contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees
are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or
termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and
applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this
nondiscrimination clause.
(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf
of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee
or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed,
or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant.
This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the
compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential
job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals
who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to
a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action,
including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal
duty to furnish information.
(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a
collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided
advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under
this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and
applicants for employment.
(5) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant
thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency
and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules,
regulations, and orders.
1 of 5
ARPA CONTRACT PROVISIONS
(7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this
contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled,
terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for
further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with
procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other
sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise
provided by law.
(8) The contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1)
and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless
exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section
204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding
upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take such action with respect to any
subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing
such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with,
litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency,
the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests
of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with
respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction
work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above
equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such
government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.
The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and
the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the
equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor,
that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they
may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the
administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing
compliance.
The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract
modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred
from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted
construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and
penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and
subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart
D of the Executive Order. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with
these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel,
terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain
from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to which
the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received
from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal
proceedings.

2of5
ARPA CONTRACT PROVISIONS

default in performance by the Contractor under the Contract Documents, shall be deemed or
construed to constitute acquiescence of the Owner in connection therewith or with regard to any
subsequent deficiency, breach or default in performance by the Contractor; nor shall any such
prior act of failure to act by or on behalf of Owner be deemed or construed as a waiver of any
rights in favor of Owner regarding any such deficiency, breach or default in performance by the
Contractor, regardless of the similarity to the prior incident or circumstance when no action was
taken regarding any alleged deficiency, breach or default in performance by the Contractor.
Termination of Convenience

termination of this Contract for cause, this Contract may be terminated by the County, with no

tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all of these contract clauses.

for debarment as a contractor or subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act

work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or
permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such

compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours
worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the
clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor
responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and

District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages.
3 of 5

prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and

determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid
wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this
section.

forth in paragraph (b)(1)through (4)of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 PIPE PREPARATION
A. Perform the entire coating operation as a one-station operation where the pipe is
supported at the ends in a manner that will permit the application of the specified
coatings. No additional handling following the initial setup of the pipe section, from
application of primer, tape coating, and cement-mortar coating, will be allowed. No
application involving rollers to support the pipe during the primer application, plastic
tape application will be permitted.
B. The pipe shall be of sufficient stiffness or have sufficient internal bracing to keep
pipe cylindrical during taping. Maintain the axis of pipe during application without
rocking, pitching, or yawing.
C. Perform the coating operation in an environmentally controlled area such that it is
protected from direct sunlight, wind, rain, snow, mist, fog, dust, and hail.
D. Remove welding slag or scale by wire brushing, hammering, or other means prior
to priming. Completely remove corrosion and foreign substances from the exterior
of the pipe by blasting. The blast profile depth shall not exceed 3 mils. Wipe and
broom the pipe surface after sandblasting and transport to coating station to remove
grit, dust, and foreign substances.
E. Prepare the exterior weld bead as follows:
1. Where the exterior weld bead has a rough or irregular surface or narrow profile
or is in excess of 1/16 inch in height, remove the exterior weld bead along the
entire exterior surface of the pipe. The exterior weld bead shall be flush with
the exterior surface of the pipe with a tolerance of +1/64 inch. Remove the
weld bead such that no gouging or nicking of the plate surface will occur. This
operation shall result in a smooth exterior surface with no ridges or valleys
that may allow bridging or disbonding of the tape from the surface of the pipe.
2. Where the exterior weld bead has a smooth surface and broad profile and is
not in excess of 1/16 inch in height, remove the exterior weld bead within 18
inches of the ends of the pipe. The resultant bead shall be flush with the

CSA 43W RAISIN CITY GROUNDWATER WELL PROJECT
exterior surface of the pipe with a tolerance of +1/64 inch. Remove the weld
bead such that no gouging or nicking of the plate surface will occur. Apply
primer as specified hereinafter, then prior to application of the inner wrap,
apply a thin 6-inch-wide weld seam tape by automatic means over the weld
seam. Construct the weld stripping tape of a low- density plastic backing not
more than 5 mils thick and soft adhesive not more than 20 mils thick (Polyken
932-25 or equal). Immediately upon application, mechanically press the tape
into place with a pressure roller to eliminate voids, wrinkles, or bubbles. Tape
width shall extend 2 inches beyond the weld bead in each direction and shall
be centered on the weld bead.
F. Where pipe is shop cement-mortar lined, apply the exterior coating after the pipe is
lined with mortar and the mortar is cured.
G. Surface temperature of pipe shall be uniform, between 50 degrees Fahrenheit and
100 degrees Fahrenheit, and greater than 5-degrees Fahrenheit above the dew
point.
3.2 APPLICATION OF PRIMER
A. Uniformly heat primer to maintain at 70 degrees Fahrenheit±10 degrees Fahrenheit
(or slightly above pipe surface temperature when greater than 70 degrees
Fahrenheit), throughout the application procedure. Use continuous recording chart-
type devices to monitor primer temperature. Thoroughly mix the primer and agitate
continuously during application to prevent settling of solids.
B. Wipe the pipe surface free of dust and grit. Apply the primer coating immediately
after surface preparation. Apply primer by automatic means with the spray shielded
from drafts to result in a uniform thin primer over the entire pipe surface. Primer
coverage shall be in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations but shall not
exceed 600 square feet per gallon.
C. Remove any imperfections from priming such as foreign material, drips, and runs.
Reprime at location of such imperfections. Primer shall be sufficiently tacky prior to
tape application to result in a void-free bond to steel.
D. Thoroughly mix and heat primer, if necessary, to apply at optimum temperature.
3.3 TAPE APPLICATION
A. The entire coating operation shall be performed by experienced workers skilled in
the application of prefabricated cold-applied tape wrap coating and cement-mortar
coating under qualified supervisors.
B. Apply pipeline tape at a uniform roll body temperature above 50 degrees Fahrenheit
and at an ambient temperature above 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Store up to the time
of application under such conditions and for a sufficient period of time that the roll
body temperature shall be within the temperature range recommended by the tape
system manufacturer at the time of application.

CSA 43W RAISIN CITY GROUNDWATER WELL PROJECT
C. Prime and hand press the free ends of outer wrap of each pipe section into place.
Immediately upon application, mechanically press the inner layer tape into place by
means of coating equipment with constant tension tape dispensing machines to
result in a void-free coating, bonded to the primed steel surface and weld seam tape
system. Spirally apply the inner layer tape with a 1-inch-minimum overlap,
incorporating a pressure roller wider than the tape width to provide maximum contact
at the step-down of the overlap and to eliminate air entrapment between the tape
and the pipe. The pressure roller shall be hard rubber applying 1,000 to 1,200 psi
against the pipe exactly at the tape-to-pipe contact.
D. Operators shall make adjustments, including spindle-brake tension adjustments, to
provide a continuous, uniform, tight coating. Apply tape at a uniform rate throughout
the entire length of pipe at a tape speed not in excess of 3 fps.A smooth,taut coating
accomplished with a tape-width drawdown not in excess of 2 percent shall be
considered adequate. Keep wrinkles, puckers, and voids to a minimum and maintain
the specified lap.
E. Simultaneously with tape application, apply the specified outer wraps spirally. Make
necessary adjustments to achieve a uniform, tightly applied outer wrap, essentially
free of wrinkles, puckers, and voids, with a 1-inch-minimum lap width. Continuously
record tape temperature near the point of application, and provide automatic means
to adjust tape temperature during application.
F. When solvent is used to remove coating or primer prior to welding, none of it shall
be permitted to contact the exposed tape adhesive. Precautions shall be taken to
protect the exposed tape, and only solvents approved by the tape manufacturer shall
be used.
G. Hold back the tape coating a sufficient length to provide clearance for welding joints
in the field.
3.4 CEMENT MORTAR ARMOR COATING
A. Apply a 1-inch-thick reinforced cement mortar armor coating over the tested and
holiday-free completed tape coating, in accordance with AWWA C205. The cement
mortar shall consist of not more than 4.5 cubic feet of sand to one sack (94 Ibs) of
cement.
B. Leave 3 inches of tape uncoated at each end of the pipe in order to facilitate field
tape coating of the joints.
3.5 COATING OF WELDED FIELD JOINTS
A. When the joints are bell-and-spigot (weld bell) for field welding and the drawings or
specifications do not require a full fillet weld or when the welding is accomplished
from the inside only, apply a moldable filler material (per Section 09 90 00— Painting
and Coating)to fill all voids at the step down prior to tape coating the joint. Place the
filler material firmly against the primed steel surfaces to eliminate voids under the
tape and provide a smooth transition surface between bell and spigot.

B. Complete the coating of the joint in accordance with Section 09 90 00 — Painting
and Coating, then after successful holiday testing of the joint, apply mortar coating
over the joint in accordance with AWWA C205.
3.6 MECHANICAL COUPLINGS AND PIPE ENDS
A. Where rubber-gasketed joints or mechanical couplings are used, apply a moldable
filler material as specified for field-welded joints to fill all surface irregularities prior
to application of tape. Alternatively for mechanical couplings, apply petrolatum or
petroleum wax tape coating in accordance with AWWA C217.

gravels (non-cohesive soils) and mechanical tampers work better for sand and gravel
containing a significant portion of fine-grained materials, such as silt and clay
(cohesive soils).
D. Hand tamp around pipe or cable to protect the lines until adequate cushion is
attained. Puddling or water flooding for consolidation of backfill or compaction by
wheel rolling will not be permitted.
E. Bedding: Unless otherwise specified, compact the specified material to 95 percent of
maximum density to the finished utility grade.
F. Embedment: Fill by hand placement around the utility to just over half depth, and
compact in a manner to ensure against lateral or vertical displacement. Place select
backfill to 12 inches above the utility line by hand placement in not more than 6-inch
layers.

G. Backfill: Soil backfill shall be placed and backfilled in lifts, with each lift compacted to
the project requirements prior to addition of the next layer. Unless otherwise
specified, place and compact the specified material as follows:
1. Vehicular Traffic Areas: Fill and compact in 8-inch maximum loose lifts as
follows:
a. From top of select backfill to two feet below top of road subgrade,
compact to 90 percent compaction.
b. From two feet below top of subgrade to top of subgrade, compact to
95 percent compaction.
2. Non-traffic Areas: Fill and compact in 8-inch maximum layers to 90 percent
compaction.
H. Employ a placement method that will not disturb or damage pipes or utilities.
I. Maintain moisture content of backfill materials to attain required compaction density.
J. Compact trench-backfill to the specified percent compaction. Compact by using
mechanical compaction or hand tamping. Do not use high impact hammer type
equipment except where the pipe manufacturer warrants in writing that such use will
not damage the pipe. Do not use water flooding or jetting for backfill compaction.
K. Compact material placed within 12 inches of the outer surface of the pipe by hand
tamping only.
1. Carefully place the material around the pipe so that the pipe barrel is
completely supported and that no voids or uncompacted areas are left
beneath the pipe.
2. Use particular care in placing material on the underside of the pipe to
prevent lateral movement during subsequent backfilling.
L. After pipe has been bedded, place pipe zone material simultaneously on both sides of
the pipe, in maximum 8-inch lifts, keeping the level of backfill the same on each side.
M. Do not use any axle-driven or tractor-drawn compaction equipment within 5 feet of
building walls, foundations, and other structures.
N. Do not permit free fall of the material until at least two feet of cover is provided over
the top of the pipe. Do not drop sharp, heavy pieces of material directly onto the pipe
or on the surface of compacted backfill around the pipe. Do not operate heavy
equipment over the pipe until at least 3 feet of backfill has been placed and
compacted over the pipe.
O. Remove surplus backfill materials from site.
P. Leave stockpile areas completely free of excess fill materials.

the bottom of the section. The contractor shall have sufficient segments of perforated
section of the tool such that the available length of perforations are approximately
10-feet, 20-feet, 30-feet, and 40-feet. The tool will be connected to approved
diameter drill pipe to allow air-lifting a minimum flow of water of 200 gpm against a
head of 300-feet.
B. Engineer, upon review of drill cuttings and geophysical log, shall determine zones to
be sampled and location of bentonite seals. Prior to placing the drill pipe and testing
tool at the lowest desired depth, a 10-foot seal shall be placed in the hole. Then with
the drill pipe and testing tool set at the desired depth, a sufficient amount of selected
gravel will be placed in the hole to fill to a depth as specified for each zone. In order
to facilitate sampling, the gravel pack material for sampling should be selected to
screen out the finest formation encountered and to be compatible with the 1/1 6-inch
sampling tool slot. Then 5-feet of fine sand will be placed atop the gravel followed
by 10-feet of bentonite placed on the sand. The gravel, sand and bentonite shall be
placed with a tremie pipe.
C. After the bentonite seal has set, the well should be air-lifted at a rate of 200 gpm, if
possible, for at least 6 hours and until the turbidity substantially decreases. A
submersible pump shall then be installed and pumped at a rate of at least 70 gpm
for at least six hours. The time to be recorded shall commence when the equipment
is installed in the well and is placed in operation and shall end when the pumping is
stopped. When the sampling at that zone is completed the string of tools shall be
raised to the next zone to be tested. The testing tool shall be tripped out of the hole
and cleaned between zone setups as necessary. Seals, sand, and gravel shall be
placed as in the first zone tested. It is anticipated that up to three (3)formation tests
will be conducted in the pilot hole, although the Engineer may modify this number.
After the last sample is collected, the remainder of the hole shall be filled with gravel.

3.9 REAMING HOLE AND INSTALLING BLANK AND PERFORATED WELL
CASINGS
A. The pilot hole shall be reamed to a final minimum diameter of 24-inches from the
bottom of the conductor casing to a depth of up to 700 feet. Contractor shall not
begin the drilling operation until all casing and gravel is on-site. The final drilling
operation shall be continuous (non-stop) through the entire length of bore to be
developed into the completed well unless permitted or specified otherwise by Owner
in writing. The exact depth of reaming shall be determined by the Engineer after the
pilot hole is completed and all information interpreted. Perforated casing will be
required as shown on the Plans or as modified by the Engineer after all results from
the zone sampling have been received and evaluated.
B. Prior to installing the casing, clean water shall be circulated in the bore hole to
remove the drilling fluid and any cuttings caked to the side of the drilled hole.
C. Upon completion of reaming the borehole to the final diameter, and after clean water
has been circulated in the hole to remove drilling fluid and caked cuttings, a caliper
log shall be run by a subcontractor approved by the Engineer.
D. Casing installation shall be by methods that will ensure no damage to blank casing,
perforated casing, or the hole. The casing shall be suspended above the bottom of
the hole to ensure that it will not be supported from the bottom.
E. Except when drilling is in progress, casing is being installed, or gravel is being placed,
the top of the well shall be kept securely capped, both day and night, to effectively
prevent tampering or entrance. Upon completion of well casing installation, placing
of gravel envelope, and development and testing of well, a steel top plate shall be
installed on the top of the well casing. The plate shall be welded around the full
circumference.
F. Centralizers shall be welded to the casing at intervals not to exceed 80 feet to center
the casing in the bore. Centralizers shall also be installed at 5 feet from top of and
bottom of the casing. The centralizers shall be welded at both points which contact
the casing. Centralizers shall be constructed of 3/8-inch-thick steel strips at least 2
inches wide so shaped as to form a guide approximately 2 1/2 inches from the casing
well. Each strip shall provide at least 1-foot length of bearing surface at the bore
interface. At least three strips shall be provided at each centralizer location.
Centralizer strips shall be placed on the same vertical alignment to minimize
interference with placing of gravel or sealing material.
G. 10 feet of blank casing shall be installed at the bottom of the well. The bottom of the
casing or screen is to have a 5/16-inch minimum thickness rounded steel cap welded
to casing.

I. The casing shall be lowered in the well with the collar facing upward. The plain end
of the following length shall be inserted in the collar. True contact of the two joints
must be verified by observation through the inspection windows. Spot welds shall
be placed through the three windows to hold the contact position. A filet type weld
shall be made covering the top edge of the collar continuously for the entire
circumference. Two welding passes shall be applied to 5/16 inch and thicker wall
material. The inspection windows on all casing sections shall be seal welded to
assure a leak-proof connection.
3.10 FURNISHING AND INSTALLING GRAVEL ENVELOPE
A. The gravel shall be placed using double hopper and tremie pipe equipment. The
rate at which gravel is allowed to drop from the upper hopper into the lower hopper,
where water is added, shall result in a free-flowing water/gravel mix. The
water/gravel mix shall be pumped into the tremie pipe from the lower hopper.
Placement shall start with the tremie pipe near the bottom of the hole. The tremie
pipe shall be withdrawn from the well at such a rate that the bottom of the tremie pipe
is within a few feet of the top of the gravel pack. From time to time during the gravel
packing operation, the flow of gravel shall be interrupted, the tremie pipe allowed to
empty of gravel, and the top of the gravel located by "sounding" with the tremie pipe
or other device.
B. Prior to placing the gravel in the well, a granular hypochlorite or similar disinfectant
shall be added to the gravel at the rate of at least 1/2 pound per cubic yard of gravel,
based on 70% chlorine content. If a lower strength hypochlorite, or other chlorine
product is used, the quantity shall be adjusted accordingly.
C. The quantity of gravel placed in the annulus of the well shall not be less than the
computed volume of the annulus. A quantity less than the computed value will be
judged as an indication of voids, and measures shall be taken by the Contractor to
eliminate the apparent voids. Significant differences between the estimated and final
volume of gravel installed may be grounds for rejection of the well.
D. Prior to placing the annular seal, the Contractor shall dry swab (no airlifting) across
all perforated casing. The dry swabbing operations shall commence at the bottom
of the lowest perforated section and work upward in short screen intervals of not
more than 20 feet to the top of the uppermost perforated casing section. The swab
shall be repeatedly hoisted at each increment.
E. The Contractor shall tag the top of the gravel envelope after dry swabbing operations
and add gravel (by the method as specified above) to bring the level back up to the
depth specified by the Engineer, if required.
3.11 INSTALLING CEMENT ANNULAR SEAL
A. A cement grout seal shall be installed in the annular space above the gravel pack
between the wall of the bore hole and the well casing and shall be a minimum of 3
inches thick. The cement grout shall be sand-cement. The well casing shall be filled
with water during placement of the grout seal. The Contractor may install the cement

B. The bottom five feet of the sealed section shall consist of five feet of bentonite. The
bentonite product used shall be approved by the Engineer prior to placement and
shall be placed using a tremie pipe.
C. The cement grout shall be placed by pressure grouting with the use of a tremie pipe.
Grout placement shall start with the tremie pipe at the bottom of the area to be
grouted. The cement grout shall be placed through the tremie pipe, and the pipe
shall be gradually withdrawn as the cement rises in the annulus. The quantity of
cement grout placed in the annulus shall not be less than the computed volume of
the annulus. A quantity less than the computed value will be judged as an indication
of voids, and measures shall be taken by the Contractor to eliminate the apparent
voids.
D. Significant differences between the estimated and final volume of the cement seal
may be grounds for rejection of the well.
E. The cement seal will extend from the ground surface to a depth as shown on the
Plans, or as indicated by Engineer after all results from the zone sampling have been
received and evaluated.
F. Each cement seal shall be allowed to set for 24 hours prior to further operations.
3.12 PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT
A. Preliminary well development will begin by airlifting open-ended at the bottom of the
well until the heaviest fluids are removed.
B. Swabbing and airlifting shall then be used for preliminary development. The
swabbing and airlifting operations shall commence at the bottom of the lowest
perforated casing section and work upwards in short screen intervals of no more than
20 feet. The swab shall be repeatedly hoisted at each increment. Upon reaching
the top of the uppermost perforated section the airlift swabbing shall begin again at
the bottom of the well and proceed upward, in similar manner, to the top of the
perforations again.
C. Preliminary well development will conclude by airlifting open-ended at the bottom of
the well to remove any heavy fluids and fill.
D. During preliminary development the Contractor shall monitor the level of gravel in the
gravel fill pipe and add material as necessary.
E. The well shall then be developed by pumping and surging with a test pump. The
pumping equipment shall be clean and in good operating condition upon delivery to
the site. Within not more than seven (7) days after completion of preliminary
development, the Contractor shall commence well development by pumping and
surging.

Evaluation of Bid Item List - Proposal 3
Abbreviations used in the bid proposal sheet are identified in Section 1-1.06, "Abbreviations," of these special provisions.
Bids are required for the entire work. Bids will be compared on the basis indicated in the Notice to Bidders. The bidder shall set
forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in
clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth
under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as
provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as
the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be
divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one
hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the
entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the
Owner's Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular.
Likewise, if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular
unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or
item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if
applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures
are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if
any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission,
inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in
the discretion of the Owner, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the Owner to best protect the public
interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the Owner respecting the amount of a bid, or the
existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.
If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to contract, as aforesaid, and to give the two bonds in the sums to
be determined as aforesaid, with surety satisfactory to the Owner, within eight (8) days not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal

hereinafter called the Contractor, and the County of Fresno hereinafter called the Owner.
WITNESSETH: That the Contractor and the Owner, for the consideration hereinafter named, agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I. The Contractor agrees to furnish all labor and materials, including tools, implements, and
appliances required, but excluding such materials as are mentioned in the specifications to be furnished
by the Owner, and to perform all the work in a good and workmanlike manner, free from any and all liens
and claims of mechanics, materialmen, teamsters, subcontractors, artisans, machinists, and laborers
required for:
CSA 43W RAISIN CITY GROUNDWATER WELL
6425 W BOWLES AVE, RAISIN CITY, CA 93652
CONTRACT NUMBER: 24-14-C
All in strict compliance with the plans, drawings and specifications therefor prepared by the Owner, and
other contract documents relating thereto.
ARTICLE II. The Contractor and the Owner agree that the Notice to Bidders and Special Provisions,
the Wage Scale (Prevailing Wages), the Plans and Drawings, Addenda and Bulletins thereto, and the
Proposal (Bid Book) hereto attached, together with this Agreement, form the contract, and they are as
fully a part of the contract as if hereto attached or herein repeated.
All portions of the Standard Specifications of the State of California, Department of Transportation, dated
2015, which are not in conflict with this contract shall be deemed a part of the specifications as though
fully therein set forth; provided, however, that revisions to the said Standard Specifications shall apply
only to the extent, if any, included in the Project Details of these specifications or as otherwise
incorporated directly herein. No part of said specifications which is in conflict with any portion of this
agreement, or which is not actually descriptive of the work to be done thereunder, or of the manner in
which said work is to be executed, shall be considered as any part of this agreement, but shall be utterly
null and void.
ARTICLE III. The Owner agrees to pay the Contractor in current funds for the performance of the
contract the sum of ONE MILLION NINETYONE THOUSAND AND SIX DOLLARS AND 00/100
($1,091,006.00) it being understood that said price is based upon the estimated quantities of materials
to be used as set forth in the Proposal, except where provisions are made in the contract documents
whereby the estimated quantities shall constitute the final quantity; that upon completion of the project
the final contract prices shall be revised by change order, if necessary, to reflect the true quantities used
at the stated unit price thereof as contained in the Contractor's Proposal hereto attached. Payments on
account thereof will be made as set forth in the special provisions.
ARTICLE IV. If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he or she should make a general
assignment for the benefit of his or her creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of his
Contract Number 24-14-C
or her insolvency, or if he or she or any of his or her subcontractors should persistently violate any of
the provisions of the contract, or if he or she should persistently or repeatedly refuse or should fail,
except in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or
proper materials, or if he or she should fail to make prompt payment to subcontractors or for material or
labor, or persistently disregard laws, ordinances or the instructions of the Engineer, then the Owner may,
upon certificate of the Engineer when sufficient cause exists to justify such action, serve written notice
upon the Contractor and his surety of its intention to terminate the contract, and unless within five days
after the serving of such notice, such violations shall cease and satisfactory arrangements for correction
thereof be made, the contract shall, upon the expiration of said five days, cease and terminate.
In the event of any such termination, the Owner shall immediately serve written notice thereof upon the
surety and the Contractor, and the surety shall have the right to take over and perform the contract,
provided, however, that if the surety within ten (10) days after the serving upon it of notice of termination
does not give the Owner written notice of its intention to take over and perform the contract or does not
commence performance thereof within the ten (10) days stated above from the date of the serving of
such notice, the Owner may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or by
any other method it may deem advisable, for the account and at the expense of the Contractor, and the
Contractor and his surety shall be liable to the Owner for any excess cost occasioned the Owner thereby,
and in such event the Owner may without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in
completing the work such materials, appliances, plant and other property belonging to the Contractor as
may be on the site of the work and necessary therefor. In such case the Contractor shall not be entitled
to receive any further payment until the work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price shall
exceed the expenses of finishing the work, including compensation for additional managerial and
administrative services, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense shall exceed such
unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The expense incurred by the
Owner, as herein provided and damage incurred through the Contractor's default, shall be certified by
the Engineer.
ARTICLE V. To the fullest extent permitted by law with respect to any work required to be done under
this contract, the Contractor will indemnify and hold harmless the COUNTY OF FRESNO, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, CONSULTANTS and all other participating public agencies, whether or not said agencies
are named herein, who have jurisdiction within the areas in which the work is to be performed, and all
officers and employees of the Owner, the County, the State, the United States and said other
participating agencies, from any and all costs and expenses, attorney fees and court costs, damages,

performance, or failure to perform, of CONTRACTOR, its officers, agents or employees under this
Agreement. In addition, CONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify COUNTY for Federal, State of California
and/or local audit exceptions resulting from non-compliance herein on the part of CONTRACTOR.
CONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify, save, hold harmless, and at COUNTY'S request, defend the
COUNTY, its officers, agents, and employees from any and all costs and expenses, damages, liabilities,
claims, and losses occurring or resulting to COUNTY in connection with the performance, or failure to
perform, by CONTRACTOR, its officers, agents, or employees under this Agreement, and from any and
all costs and expenses, damages, liabilities, claims, and losses occurring or resulting to any person,
