Contracting Agency, and shall bear the expense of making good all Work of other contractors
destroyed or damaged by such removal or replacement.
If the Contractor does not remove such condemned Work and mater ials and commence re‐execution
of the Work within 7 calendar days of written notice from the Engineer, or fails to perform any part
of the Work required by the Contract Documents, the Contracting Agency may correct and remedy
such Work as may be identified in the written notice, with Cont racting Agency forces or by such other
means as the Contracting Agency may deem necessary. In that case, the Contracting Agency may
store removed material.
Direct or indirect costs incurred by the Contracting Agency attributable to correcting and remedying
defective or unauthorized Work, or Work the Contractor failed or refused to perform, shall be paid
by the Contractor. Payment will be deducted by the Engineer from monies due, or to become due,
the Contractor. Such direct and indirect costs shall include in particular, but without limitation,
compensation for additional professional services required, and costs for repair and replacement of
Work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of the Contractor’s
unauthorized Work.
If sufficient funds do not remain in the Contract and the Contractor does not pay the cost of such
removal and storage within 10 calendar days from the date of the notice to the Contractor of the fact
of such removal, the Contracting Agency may, upon an additional 10 calendar days written notice,

due to the Contractor, including costs of sale, and accounting to Contractor for the net proceeds
remaining. The Contracting Agency may bid at any such sale. The Contractor shall be liable to the
Contracting Agency for the amount of any deficiency from any funds otherwise due the Contractor.
If the Contractor fails to comply with a written order to remedy what the Engineer determines to be
an emergency situation, the Engineer may have the defective and unauthorized Work corrected
immediately, have the rejected Work removed and replaced, or have Work the Contractor refuses to
perform completed by using Contracting Agency or other forces. An emergency situation is any
situation when, in the opinion of the Engineer, a delay in its remedy could be potentially unsafe, or
might cause serious risk of loss or damage to the public, the Property Owner and the Property
Owner’s property.
No adjustment in contract time or compensation will be allowed because of the delay in the
performance of the Work attributable to the exercise of the Contracting Agency’s rights provided by
this section.
The rights exercised under the provisions of this section shall not diminish the Contracting Agency’s
right to pursue any other avenue for additional remedy or damages with respect to the Contractor’s
failure to perform the Work as required.
1‐05.10 Guarantees
Section 1‐05.10 is supplemented with the following:
(******)
If within one year after the Acceptance Date of the Work by the Contracting Agency, defective and/or
unauthorized Work is discovered, the Contractor shall promptly, upon written order by the
Contracting Agency, return and in accordance with the Engineer’s instructions, either correct such
Work, or if such Work has been rejected by the Engineer, remove it from the project site and replace
it with non‐defective and authorized Work, all without cost to the Contracting Agency. If the
Contractor does not promptly comply with the written order to correct defective and/or
unauthorized Work, or if an emergency exists, the Contracting Agency reserves the right to have
defective and/or unauthorized Work corrected or removed and replaced pursuant to Section 1‐05.7
“Removal of Defective and/or Unauthorized Work.”
The Contractor agrees the above one year limitation shall not exclude or diminish the Contracting
Agency’s rights under any law to obtain damages and recover costs resulting from defective and/or
unauthorized Work discovered after one year but prior to the expiration of the legal time period set
06/08/2021
18
forth in RCW 4.16.040.
The Contractor shall warrant good title to all materials, supplies, and equipment purchased for, or
incorporated in the Work. Nothing contained in this paragraph, however, shall defeat or impair the
right of persons furnishing materials or labor, to recover under any bond given by the Contractor for
their protection, or any rights under any law permitting such persons to look to funds due the
Contractor in the hands of the Contracting Agency.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be inserted in all subcontracts and material contracts, and
notice of its provisions shall be given to all persons furnishing materials for the Work when no formal
contract is entered into for such materials.
1‐05.11 Final Inspection
1‐05.11(1) Substantial Completion Date
Section 1‐05.11(1) is a new section:
(******)
When the Contractor considers the Work to be substantially complete, the Contractor shall so notify
the Engineer and request the Engineer establish the Substantial Completion Date. The Engineer will
schedule an inspection of the Work with the Contractor to determine the status of completion.
To be considered substantially complete the following conditions must be met:
1. The Contracting Agency must have full and unrestricted use and benefit of the
facilities both from the operational and safety standpoint.
2. Only minor incidental Work, replacement of temporary substitute facilities, or
correction of repair Work remains to reach physical completion of the Work.
The Contractor’s request shall list the specific items of Work in subparagraph two above that remains
to be completed in order to reach physical completion. The Engineer may also establish the
Substantial Completion Date unilaterally.
If after this inspection, the Engineer concurs with the Contractor that the Work is substantially
complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer, by written notice to the Contractor, will set
the Substantial Completion Date. If, after this inspection the Engineer does not consider the Work
substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer will, by written notice, so notify
the Contractor giving the reasons therefore.
Upon receipt of written notice concurring with or denying substantial completion, whichever is
applicable, the Contractor shall pursue vigorously, diligently and without unauthorized interruption,
the Work necessary to reach Substantial and Physical Completion. The Contractor shall provide the
Engineer with a revised schedule indicating when the Contractor expects to reach substantial and
physical completion of the Work.
The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial Completion Date
and the Contractor considers the Work physically complete and ready for Final Inspection.
1‐05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date
Section 1‐05.11(2) is a new Section:
(******)
When the Contractor considers the Work physically complete and ready for Final Inspection, the
Contractor, by Written Notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a final inspection. The Engineer
will set a date for Final Inspection. The Engineer and the Contractor will then make a final inspection
and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars in which the Final Inspection
reveals the Work incomplete or unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take such corrective
measures as are necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective Work shall be pursued
vigorously, diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed deficiencies.
This process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been corrected.
06/08/2021
19
If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the Written
Notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon Written Notice to the Contractor, take
whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to Section 1‐08.5. The
Contractor will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in the performance
of the Work attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right hereunder.
Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the Contracting
Agency, in writing, of the date upon which the Work was considered physically complete, that date
shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the Contract, but shall not imply all the obligations
of the Contractor under the Contract have been fulfilled.
1‐05.11(3) Operational Testing
Section 1‐05.11(3) is a new section:
(******)
Unless otherwise noted in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall give the Engineer a
minimum of 3 working days’ notice of the time for each test and inspection. If the inspection is by
another authority than the Engineer, the Contractor shall give the Engineer a minimum of 3 working
days’ notice of the date fixed for such inspection. Required certificates of inspection by other
authority than the Engineer shall be secured by the Contractor.
It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a complete and
operable system. Therefore, when the Work involves the installation of machinery or other
mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal systems; irrigation systems;
buildings; or other similar Work, it may be desirable for the Engineer to have the Contractor operate
and test the Work for a period of time, after final inspection but prior to the physical completion
date. Whenever items of Work are listed in the Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall
be fully tested under operating conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability
prior to the Physical Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall
correct any items of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first
class operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and equipment to

Site Specific Potholing is intended to be additional potholing as directed by the Engineer, which is in
addition to potholing included as incidental for utility installation. Where underground utilities are
found to be in the way of construction, such condition shall not be deemed to be a changed or
differing site condition, and if necessary, pipe alignment or grade shall be modified. No payment will
be made unless potholing has been performed prior to trench excavation, and witnessed by the
Engineer. Different utilities may be found to occupy a common trench. Any two or more utilities
separated by 3 feet or less shall constitute one locate. Where multiple utilities exist in close proximity,
the Contractor shall be paid for one locate for every 5 feet of exploration trench. The quantity for
this item is included to provide a common proposal for bid purposes. The actual quantity used in
construction may vary from that amount. The unit price will not be adjusted if the actual quantity
used varies by more than 25 percent.
The contractor shall perform this potholing a minimum of five working days prior to crossing to allow
for potential revisions. The contractor shall not have cause for claim of down‐time or any other
additional costs associated with ‘waiting’ if the owner provides design revisions (related to the

Certificate(s) of Insurance and endorsements for each policy of insurance meeting the
requirements set forth herein when the Contractor delivers the signed Contract for the work.
Failure of the City of Renton to demand such verification of coverage with these insurance

such insurance.
Verification of coverage shall include:
1. An ACORD certificate or a form determined by the City of Renton to be equivalent.

and certified copy of that policy is required when the Contractor delivers the signed Contract for
the work.
1‐07.18(5) Coverages and Limits
The insurance shall provide the minimum coverages and limits set forth below. Contractor’s

require the Contractor to submit a revised schedule to the Engineer for acceptance. The approved
revisions will thereafter, in all respects, apply in lieu of the original schedule.
Failure of the Contractor to follow the progress schedule submitted and accepted, including revisions
thereof, shall relieve the Contracting Agency of any and all responsibility for furnishing and making
available all or any portion of the job site, and will relieve the Contracting Agency of any responsibility

when Christmas Day occurs on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. The day after Christmas shall be a
holiday when Christmas Day occurs on a Monday or Thursday. When Christmas Day occurs on a
Saturday, the two preceding working days shall be observed as holidays. When Christmas day occurs
on a Sunday, the two working days following shall be observed as holidays. When holidays other than
Christmas fall on a Saturday, the preceding Friday will be counted as a non‐working day and when
they fall on a Sunday the following Monday will be counted as a non‐working day.
The Contract Time has been established to allow for periods of normal inclement weather that, from
historical records, is to be expected during the Contract Time, and during which periods, Work is
anticipated to be performed. Each successive working day, beginning with the Notice to Proceed
date and ending with the Physical Completion date, shall be charged to the Contract Time as it occurs
except a day, or part of a day, which is designated a non‐working day or an Engineer determined
unworkable day.
The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a weekly report showing (1) the number of working days
charged against the Contract Time for the preceding week; (2) the Contract Time in working days; (3)
the number of working days remaining in the Contract Time; (4) the number of non‐working days;
and (5) any partial or whole days the Engineer declared unworkable the previous week. This weekly
report will be correlated with the Contractor’s current approved progress schedule. If the Contractor
elects to work 10 hours a day and 4 days a week (a 4‐10 schedule), and the fifth day of the week in
which a 4‐10 shift is worked would ordinarily be charged as a working day, then the fifth day of that
week will be charged as a working day whether or not the Contractor works on that day.
The Contractor will be allowed 10 calendar days from the date of each report in which to file a written
protest of an alleged discrepancy in the Contract Time as reported. Otherwise, the report will be
deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor as correct.
The requirements for scheduling the Final Inspection and establishing the Substantial Completion,
Physical Completion, and Completion Dates are specified in Sections 1‐05.11 and 1‐05.12.
The Engineer will give the Contractor written notice of the completion date of the Contract after all
the Contractor’s obligations under the Contract have been performed by the Contractor. The
following events must occur before the Completion Date can be established:
06/08/2021
41
1. The physical Work on the project must be complete; and
2. The Contractor must furnish all documentation required by the Contract and required by law, to
allow the Contracting Agency to process final acceptance of the Contract. The following
documents must be received by the Engineer prior to establishing a completion date:
a. Certified Payrolls per Section 1‐07.9(5) (
b. Material Acceptance Certification Documents
c. Annual Report of Amounts Paid as MBE/WBE Participants or Quarterly Report of
Amounts Credited as DBE Participation, as required by the Contract Provisions.
d. FHWA 47 (Federal‐aid Projects)
e. Final Contract Voucher Certification
f. Property owner releases per Section 1‐07.24
g. A copy of the Notice of Termination sent to the Washington State Department of Ecology
(Ecology); the elapse of 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination
by Ecology; and no rejection of the Notice of Termination by Ecology. This requirement will
not apply if the Construction Stormwater General Permit is transferred back to the
Contracting Agency in accordance with Section 8‐01.3(16), as required by the Contract
Provisions.
Within 10 calendar days after execution of the Contract by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor
shall provide the Contracting Agency with copies of purchase orders for all equipment items deemed
critical by the Contracting Agency, including but not limited to signal controller materials, lighting
standards, and signal standards required for the physical completion of the Contract. Such purchase
orders shall disclose the estimated delivery dates for the equipment.
All items of Work that can be performed without delivery of the critical items shall start and be
completed as soon as possible. At that time, the Engineer may suspend the Work upon request of
the Contractor until the critical items are delivered to the Contractor, if the Contracting Agency
received a purchase order within 10 calendar days after execution of the Contract by the Contracting
Agency.
The Contractor will be entitled to only one such suspension of time during the performance of the
Work and during such suspension shall not perform any additional Work on the project. Upon
delivery of the critical items, contract time will resume and continue to be charged in accordance
with Section 1‐08.
1‐08.6 Suspension of Work
Section 1‐08.6 is supplemented with the following:
(******)
Contracting Agency may at any time suspend the Work, or any part thereof, by giving notice to the
Contractor in writing. The Work shall be resumed by the Contractor within 14 calendar days after
the date fixed in the written notice from the Contracting Agency to the Contractor to do so.
The Contractor shall not suspend Work under the Contract without the written order of the
Contracting Agency.
If it has been determined that the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time, the amount of such
extension shall be only to compensate for direct delays, and shall be based upon the Contractor's
diligently pursuing the Work at a rate not less than that which would have been necessary to
complete the original Contract Work on time.
1‐08.7 Maintenance During Suspension
Revise the second paragraph to read:
(******)
At no expense to the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall provide through the construction area
a safe, smooth, and unobstructed roadway, sidewalk, driveway, and path for public use during
06/08/2021
42

Section 1‐08.9 is supplemented with the following:
(******)
In addition, the Contractor shall compensate the Contracting Agency for actual engineering
inspection and supervision costs and any other expenses and legal fees incurred by the Contracting
Agency as a result of such delay. Such labor costs will be billed to the Contractor at actual costs,
including administrative overhead costs.
In the event that the Contracting Agency is required to commenc e any lawsuit in order to enforce any
provision of this Contract or to seek redress for any breach thereof, the Contracting Agency shall be
entitled to recover its costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, from the Contractor.
1‐08.11 Contractor's Plant and Equipment
Section 1‐08.11 is a new Section:
(******)
The Contractor alone shall at all times be responsible for the adequacy, efficiency, and sufficiency of
his and his subcontractor's plant and equipment. The Contracting Agency shall have the right to make
use of the Contractor's plant and equipment in the performance of any Work on the site of the Work.
The use by the Contracting Agency of such plant and equipment shall be considered as extra Work
and paid for accordingly.
Neither the Contracting Agency nor the Engineer assumes any responsibility, at any time, for the
security of the site from the time the Contractor's operations have commenced until final acceptance
of the Work by the Engineer and the Contracting Agency. The Contractor shall employ such measures
as additional fencing, barricades, and watchmen service, as he deems necessary for the public safety
and for the protection of the site and his plant and equipment. The Contracting Agency will be
provided keys for all fenced, secured areas.
1‐08.12 Attention to Work
Section 1‐08.12 is a new section:
(******)
The Contractor shall give his personal attention to and shall supervise the Work to the end that it
shall be prosecuted faithfully, and when he is not personally present on the Work site, he shall at all
times be represented by a competent superintendent who shall have full authority to execute the
same, and to supply materials, tools, and labor without delay, and who shall be the legal
representative of the Contractor. The Contractor shall be liable for the faithful observance of any
instructions delivered to him or to his authorized representative.
1‐09 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
1‐09.1 Measurement of Quantities
Section 1‐09.1 is supplemented with the following:
(******)
Lump Sum. The percentage of lump sum Work completed, and payment will be based on the cost
percentage breakdown of the lump sum bid price(s) submitted at the preconstruction conference.
The Contractor shall submit a breakdown of costs for each lump sum bid item. The breakdown shall
list the items included in the lump sum together with a unit price of labor, materials, and equipment
for each item. The summation of the detailed unit prices for each item shall add up to the lump sum
bid. The unit price values may be used as a guideline for determining progress payments or
deductions or additions in payment for ordered Work changes.
06/08/2021
43
Cubic Yard Quantities. The Contractor shall provide truck trip tickets for progress payments only in
the following manner. Where items are specified to be paid by the cubic yard, the following tally
system shall be used.
All trucks to be employed on this Work will be measured to determine the volume of each truck.
Each truck shall be clearly numbered, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, and there shall be no
duplication of numbers.
Duplicate tally tickets shall be prepared to accompany each truckload of material delivered on the
project. All tickets received that do not contain the following information will not be processed for
payment:
1 Truck number
2 Quantity and type of material delivered in cubic yards
3 Driver’s name, date and time of delivery
4 Location of delivery, by street and stationing on each street
5 Place for the Engineer to acknowledge receipt
6 Pay item number
7 Contract number and/or name
It will be the Contractor's responsibility to see that a ticket is given to the Engineer on the project for
each truckload of material delivered. Pay quantities will be prepared on the basis of said tally tickets.
Loads will be checked by the Engineer to verify quantity shown on ticket.
Quantities by Ton. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to see that a certified weight ticket is
given to the Inspector on the project at the time of delivery of materials for each truckload delivered.
Pay quantities will be prepared on the basis of said tally tickets, delivered to the Inspector at time of
delivery of materials. Tickets not receipted by Inspector will not be honored for payment.
Each truck shall be clearly numbered to the satisfaction of the Engineer and there shall be no
duplication of numbers.
Duplicate tickets shall be prepared to accompany each truckload of material delivered to the project.
All tickets received that do not contain the following information will not be processed for payment:
1. Truck number
2. Truck tare weight (stamped at source)
3. Gross truckload weight in tons (stamped at source)

9. Contract number and/or name
1‐09.3 Scope of Payment
Section 1‐09.3 is supplemented with the following:
(******)
The bid items listed in Section 1‐09.14 will be the only items for which compensation will be made
for the Work described in each section of the Standard Specifications when the Contractor performs
the specified Work. Should a bid item be listed in a “Payment” clause but not in the Proposal Form,
and Work for that item is performed by the Contractor and the Work is not stated as included in or
incidental to a pay item in the Contract and is not Work that would be required to complete the intent
of the Contract per Section 1‐04.1, then payment for that Work will be made as for Extra Work
pursuant to a Change Order.
The words “Bid Item,” “Contract Item,” and “Pay Item,” and similar terms used throughout the
Contract Documents are synonymous.
06/08/2021
44
If the “payment” clause in the Specifications relating to any unit bid item price in the Proposal Form
requires that said unit bid item price cover and be considered compensation for certain Work or
material essential to the item, then the Work or material will not be measured or paid for under any
other unit bid item which may appear elsewhere in the Proposal Form or Specifications.
Pluralized unit bid items appearing in these Specifications are changed to singular form.
Payment for bid items listed or referenced in the “Payment” clause of any particular section of the
Specifications shall be considered as including all of the Work required, specified, or described in that
particular section. Payment items will generally be listed generically in the Specifications, and
specifically in the bid form. When items are to be “furnished” under one payment item and “installed”
under another payment item, such items shall be furnished FOB project site, or, if specified in the
Special Provisions, delivered to a designated site. Materials to be “furnished,” or “furnished and
installed” under these conditions, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor with regard to storage
until such items are incorporated into the Work or, if such items are not to be incorporated into the
Work, delivered to the applicable Contracting Agency storage site when provided for in the
Specifications. Payment for material “furnished,” but not yet incorporated into the Work, may be
made on monthly estimates to the extent allowed.
1‐09.6 Force Account
Section 1‐09.6 is supplemented with the following:
(******)
Contracting Agency has estimated and included in the proposal, dollar amounts for all items to be
paid per force account, only to provide a common proposal for Bidders. All such dollar amounts are
to become a part of the Contractor’s total bid. However, the Contracting Agency does not warrant
expressly or by implication that the actual amount of Work will correspond with those estimates.
Payment will be made on the basis of the amount of Work actually authorized by the Engineer.
1‐09.7 Mobilization
Section 1‐09.7 is supplemented with the following:
(******)
Mobilization shall also include, but not be limited to, the following items: the movement of
Contractor's personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site; the establishment of
an office, buildings, and other facilities necessary for Work on the project; providing sanitary facilities
for the Contractor's personnel; and obtaining permits or licenses required to complete the project
not furnished by the Contracting Agency.
This item shall also include providing the Engineer and the Inspectors with access to telephone,
facsimile machine, and copy machine during all hours the Contractor is working on the jobsite; and a
table and chair for their use when needed.
Payment will be made for the following bid item(s):
“Mobilization & Demobilization,” Lump Sum.
1‐09.9 Payments
Delete the fourth paragraph and replace it with the following:
(******)
Progress payments for completed Work and material on hand will be based upon progress estimates
prepared by the Engineer. A progress estimate cutoff date will be established at the preconstruction
meeting.
The initial progress estimate will be made not later than 30 days after the Contractor commences the
Work, and successive progress estimates will be made every month thereafter until the Completion
Date. Progress estimates made during progress of the Work are tentative, and made only for the
purpose of determining progress payment. The progress estimates are subject to change at any time
prior to the calculation of the final payment.
06/08/2021
45
The value of the progress estimate will be the sum of the following:
1. Unit Price Items in the Bid Form – the approximate quantity of acceptable units of Work
completed multiplied by the unit price.
2. Lump Sum Items in the Bid Form – the estimated percentage complete multiplied by the Bid
Forms amount for each lump sum item, or per the schedule of values for that item.
3. Materials on Hand – 100 percent of invoiced cost of material de livered to job site or other storage
area approved by the Engineer.
4. Change Orders – entitlement for approved extra cost or completed extra Work as determined by
the Engineer.
Progress payments will be made in accordance with the progress estimate less:
1. Retainage per Section 1‐09.9(1);
2. The amount of Progress Payments previously made; and
3. Funds withheld by the Contracting Agency for disbursement in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
Progress payments for Work performed shall not be evidence of acceptable performance or an
admission by the Contracting Agency that any Work has been satisfactorily completed.
Payments will be made by check or electronic transfer, issued by the Contracting Agency’s fiscal
officer, against the appropriate fund source for the project. Payments received on account of Work
performed by a subcontractor are subject to the provisions of RCW 39.04.250.
Section 1‐09.9 is supplemented with the following:
(******)
Applications for payment shall be itemized and supported to the extent required by the Engineer by
receipts or other vouchers showing payment for materials and labor, payments to subcontractors,
and other such evidence of the Contractor's right to payment as the Engineer may direct, including
“red line” as‐built drawings showing work installed by the contractor during the progress payment
period.
The Contractor shall submit a progress report with each monthly request for a progress payment.
The progress report shall indicate the estimated percent complete for each activity listed on the
progress schedule (see Section 1‐08.3) and a revised and updated schedule to reflect the most
current project completion date.
1‐09.9(1) Retainage
Section 1‐09.9(1) is supplemented with the following:
(******)
The retained amount shall be released as stated in the Standard Specifications if no claims have been
filed against such funds as provided by law, and if the Contracting Agency has no unsatisfied claims
against the Contractor. In the event claims are filed, the Con tracting Agency shall withhold, until such
claims are satisfied, a sum sufficient to satisfy all claims and to pay attorney's fees. In addition, the
Contracting Agency shall withhold such amount as is required to satisfy any claims by the Contracting
Agency against the Contractor, until such claims have been finally settled.
Neither the final payment nor any part of the retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor, if requested, delivers to the Contracting Agency a complete release of all liens arising out
of this Contract, or receipts in full in lieu thereof, and, if required in either case, an affidavit that so
far as the Contractor has knowledge or information, the release and receipts include all labor and
materials for which a lien could be filed: but the Contractor may, if any subcontractor refuses to
furnish a release or receipt in full, furnish a bond satisfactorily to the Engineer to indemnify the
Contracting Agency against the lien. If any lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, the
Contractor shall reimburse to the Contracting Agency all monies that the latter may be compelled to
pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable engineer's and attorney's fees.
06/08/2021
46
1‐09.9(2) Contracting Agency’s Right to Withhold and Disburse Certain Amounts
Section 1‐09.9(2) is a new section:
(******)
In addition to monies retained pursuant to RCW 60.28 and subject to RCW 39.04.250, RCW 39.12 and
RCW 39.76, the Contractor authorizes the Engineer to withhold progress payments due or deduct an
amount from any payment or payments due the Contractor which, in the Engineer’s opinion, may be
necessary to cover the Contracting Agency’s costs for or to remedy the following situations:
1. Damage to another contractor when there is evidence thereof and a claim has
been filed.
2. Where the Contractor has not paid fees or charges to public authorities of
municipalities, which the Contractor is obligated to pay.
3. Utilizing material tested and inspected by the Engineer, for purposes not
connected with the Work (Section 1‐05.6).
4. Landscape damage assessments per Section 1‐07.16.
5. For overtime Work performed by City personnel per Section1‐08.0(3).
6. Anticipated or actual failure of the Contractor to complete the Work on time:
a. Per Section 1‐08.9 Liquidated Damages; or
b. Lack of construction progress based upon the Engineer’s review of the
Contractor’s approved progress schedule, which indicates the Work will not
be complete within the contract time. When calculating an anticipated time
overrun, the Engineer will make allowances for weather delays, approved
unavoidable delays, and suspensions of the Work. The amount withheld
under this subparagraph will be based upon the liquidated damages amount
per day set forth in Contract Documents multiplied by the number of days
the Contractor’s approved progress schedule, in the opinion of the Engineer,
indicates the Contract may exceed the Contract Time.
7. Failure of the Contractor to perform any of the Contractor’s other obligations
under the Contract, including but not limited to:
a. Failure of the Contractor to provide the Engineer with a field office when
required by the Contract Provisions.
b. Failure of the Contractor to protect survey stakes, markers, etc., or to
provide adequate survey Work as required by Section 1‐05.4.
c. Failure of the Contractor to correct defective or unauthorized Work (Section
1‐05.7).
d. Failure of the Contractor to furnish a Manufacturer’s Certificate of
Compliance in lieu of material testing and inspection as required by Section
1‐06.3.
e. Failure to submit weekly payrolls, Intent to Pay Prevailing Wage forms, or
correct underpayment to employees of the Contractor or subcontractor of
any tier as required by Section 1‐07.9.
f. Failure of the Contractor to pay worker’s benefits (Title 50 and Title 51 RCW)
as required by Section 1‐07.10.
g. Failure of the Contractor to submit and obtain approval of a progress
schedule per Section 1‐08.3.
The Contractor authorizes the Engineer to act as agent for the Contractor disbursing
such funds as have been withheld pursuant to this Section to a party or parties who are
entitled to payment. Disbursement of such funds, if the Engineer elects to do so will be
made only after giving the Contractor 15 calendar days prior written notice of the
Contracting Agency’s intent to do so, and if prior to the expiration of the 15‐calendar
day period,
1. No legal action has commenced to resolve the validity of the claims, and
2. The Contractor has not protested such disbursement.
06/08/2021
47
A proper accounting of all funds disbursed on behalf of the Contractor in accordance
with this Section will be made. A payment made pursuant to this section shall be
considered as payment made under the terms and conditions of the Contract. The
Contracting Agency shall not be liable to the Contractor for such payment made in good
faith.
1‐09.9(3) Final Payment
Section 1‐09.9(3) is a new section:
(******)
Upon Acceptance of the Work by the Contracting Agency, the final amount to be paid the Contactor
will be calculated based upon a Final Progress Estimate made by the Engineer. Acceptance by the
Contractor of the final payment shall be and shall operate as a release:
1. To the Contracting Agency of all claims and all liabilities of the Contractor, other than claims
in stated amounts as may be specifically excepted in writing by the Contractor;
2. For all things done or furnished in connection with the Work;
3. For every act and neglect by the Contracting Agency; and
4. For all other claims and liability relating to or arising out of the Work.
A payment (monthly, final, retainage, or otherwise) shall not release the Contractor or the
Contractor’s Surety from any obligation required under the terms of the Contract Documents or the
Contract Bond; nor shall such payment constitute a waiver of the Contracting Agency’s ability to
investigate and act upon findings of non‐compliance with the WMBE requirements of the Contract;
nor shall such payment preclude the Contracting Agency from recovering damages, setting penalties,
or obtaining such other remedies as may be permitted by law.
Before the Work will be accepted by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall submit an affidavit,
on the form provided by the Engineer, of amounts paid to certified disadvantaged (DB), minority
(MBE) or women business enterprises (WBE) participating in the Work. Such affidavit shall certify
the amounts paid to the DB, MBE or WBE subcontractors regardless of tier.
On federally funded projects the Contractor may also be required to execute and furnish the
Contracting Agency an affidavit certifying that the Contractor has not extended any loans, gratuity or
gift and money pursuant to Section 1‐07.19 of these Specifications.
If the Contractor fails, refuses, or is unable to sign and return the Final Progress Estimate or any other
documents required for the final acceptance of the Contract, the Contracting Agency reserves the
right to establish a completion date and unilaterally accept the Contract. Unilateral acceptance will
occur only after the Contractor has been provided the opportunity, by written request from the
Engineer, to voluntarily submit such documents. If voluntary compliance is not achieved, formal
notification of the impending unilateral acceptance will be provided by certified letter from the
Engineer to the Contractor that will provide 30 calendar days for the Contractor to submit the
necessary documents. The 30‐calendar day deadline shall begin on the date of the postmark of the
certified letter from the Engineer requesting the necessary documents. This reservation by the
Contracting Agency to unilaterally accept the Contract will apply to contracts that are completed in
accordance with Section 1‐08.5 and for contracts that are terminated in accordance with Section 1‐
08.10. Unilateral acceptance of the Contract by the Contracting Agency does not relieve the
Contractor of the provisions under contract or of the responsibility to comply with all laws,
ordinances, and federal, state, and local regulations that affect the Contract. The date the
Contracting Agency unilaterally signs the Final Progress Estima te constitutes the final acceptance date
(Section 1‐05.12).

The Contractor and the Contracting Agency mutually agree that those claims that total $250,000 or
less, submitted in accordance with Section 1‐09.11 and not resolved by nonbonding ADR processes,
shall be resolved through litigation, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to resolve the claim
through binding arbitration.
1‐09.13(3)A Administration of Arbitration
Revise the third paragraph to read:
(******)
The Contracting Agency and the Contractor mutually agree to be bound by the decision of the
arbitrator, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in the Superior
Court of the county in which the Contracting Agency’s headquarters are located. The decision of the
arbitrator and the specific basis for the decision shall be in writing. The arbitrator shall use the
Contract as a basis for decisions.
1‐09.13(3)B Procedures to Pursue Arbitration
Section 1‐09.13(3)B is supplemented with the following:
(******)
The findings and decision of the board of arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties, unless
the aggrieved party, within 10 days, challenges the findings and decision by serving and filing a
petition for review by the superior court of King County, Washington. The grounds for the petition
for review are limited to showing that the findings and decision:
1. Are not responsive to the questions submitted;
2. Is contrary to the terms of the contract or any component thereof;
3. Is arbitrary and/or is not based upon the applicable facts and the law controlling the issues
submitted to arbitration. The board of arbitrators shall support its decision by setting forth in writing
their findings and conclusions based on the evidence adduced at any such hearing.
The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the statutes of the State of Washington and
court decisions governing such procedure.
The costs of such arbitration shall be borne equally by the Contracting Agency and the Contractor
unless it is the board's majority opinion that the Contractor's filing of the protest or action is
capricious or without reasonable foundation. In the latter case, all costs shall be borne by the
Contractor.

public property or create a nuisance or public menace. The bypass‐pumping pipe shall not block
any driveways or intersections unless approved by the Engineer. The sewage shall be pumped
through a watertight hose or pipe that is adequately protected from traffic. The discharge of raw
sewage to private property, city streets, sidewalks, storm sewer, or any location other than an
approved sanitary sewer is prohibited. The Contractor shall be liable for all cleanup, damages, and
resultant fines should the Contractor's operation cause any backups or overflows.
The Contractor's bypass operation shall be sized to handle, at a minimum, the full pipe capacity in
each subject line removed from service. If flow conditions are greater than full pipe, the Contractor
may elect to wait for flow conditions to subside prior to removing the subject line from service.
Working days will not be charged for the period of time during which the flow is greater than full
pipe. No additional payment will be made for periods of high flows during which the Contractor
elects to wait for lower flows. Once the Contractor removes a section of line from service he/she is
responsible to bypass any and all flow in the system during construction, even in the event the
system surcharges and exceeds the full pipe capacity, until the line is returned to service.
All bypassing systems shall be approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall submit a plan for
bypassing the existing system to the Engineer for review. The Contractor's plan for bypass pumping
shall be satisfactory to the Engineer before the Contractor will be allowed to commence bypass
pumping. The sewage and/or storm bypass pumping plan shall include an emergency response plan

7‐20.4 Installation
7‐20.4(1) Felt Liner CIPP Tube Installation
Lining installation shall be in accordance with the requirements of the product Manufacturer and as
directed by their Technical Representative. This includes the correction of defective work.
Contractor shall designate the location where the CIPP tube will be impregnated with resin (“wet‐
out”). These locations shall be subject to approval by the Engineer. The Contractor shall allow the
Engineer to inspect the materials and “wet‐out” procedure. If the “wet‐out” location is not at the
project site, the impregnated CIPP tube shall be transported to site under controlled environmental
conditions as specified by the Manufacturer of the product. Transport vehicles shall include a
tamper resistant, sealed temperature recording device which records the temperature of the liner
at all times after leaving the wet‐out site. Contractor shall decide when to transport the resin
impregnated CIPP tube and when to commence installation depending on prevailing weather
conditions, so as to not jeopardize the installation or be detrimental to the long‐term performance
of the CIPP.
The liner shall be installed by the inversion tube method where possible. The resin‐impregnated
tube shall be lowered into the insertion pit through an inversion tube and reducer if needed. The
liner shall be installed at a rate less than 10 feet per minute at all times. The CIPP liner shall be
installed through existing manholes. Liner shall not be installed through intermediate manholes
unless approved in advance by the Engineer. All requests to line through intermediate manholes
shall be submitted in writing to the Engineer.
There shall be no separate payment for additional or enhanced access to facilitate the Contractor’s
CIPP liner installation process.
For CIPP liner thicknesses greater than 0.75 inch, or where the existing pipe, soil, and groundwater
is likely to provide a significant heat sink affecting the temperature gradient across the CIPP liner
material, the temperature of the exotherm shall be monitored by remote temperature sensors
placed at the interface of the existing pipe and the CIPP. A minimum of two temperature sensors
shall be installed, one at either end of the length being lined. The curing process shall not be
terminated until the temperature sensor readings indicated that a satisfactory cure has been
completed. Any extended cure times shall not adversely affect the properties of the CIPP lining
material.
The curing process shall follow a step cure using steam, where possible, as recommended by the
manufacturer and approved by the Engineer. The curing process shall be held at the top step for an
adequate length of time to ensure that the design physical properties of the liner are attained. For
the water curing method, circulation water shall cool down to at least 100 degrees F for 1 hour
before releasing the hydrostatic head. The rate of temperature rise and fall during heating and
cooling shall not exceed 2 degrees F per minute. The circulation water shall be filtered through a
carbon filter treatment system, approved by the Engineer, prior to release into the sanitary sewer
system. Evacuate water from the pipe at a controlled rate to prevent negative pressure in the pipe.
The Contractor shall provide a sampling plan to the Engineer that demonstrates pollutants are not
being discharged into the sanitary sewer system.
After liner has cooled down, perform a preliminary television inspection of the newly installed liner.
Verify the liner is continuous over the entire length. Verify the liner is free from visual defects such
as foreign inclusions, dry spots, lifts, pinholes, seam separation, delamination, and wrinkling
beyond the specification allowances. Liner shall be impervious and free of any leakage. Wrinkles in
the finished CIPP, that create a void between the wrinkle and the pipe which reduce the structural
integrity of the CIPP, and which adversely decreases the hydraulic capacity of the pipe, or cause a
backwater of one (1) inch, are unacceptable and shall be removed and repaired at no additional
cost to the Owner.
After the curing is complete and verified, all existing active service connections, as determined by
the Engineer, shall be reinstated. Reinstate all service laterals using only remote internal methods.
06/08/2021
72
Where the CIPP liner does not create dimples at the service connections or in other ways indicate

3. While maintaining sufficient air pressure to inflate the impregnated fiberglass liner, insert
multi‐lamp ultraviolet light curing assembly (UV curing assembly) in order with UV curing
bulbs OFF to draw the curing mechanism through the impregnated liner and perform a pre‐
curing inspection. Upon confirmation that the liner is ready for curing, turn on UV curing
bulbs and conduct curing process. Unless approved by Engineer, do not pull UV light train
in a downstream direction during the curing process.
4. UV curing assembly shall travel through the impregnated fiberglass liner at a
pre‐determined speed to allow polymerization of the resin as recommended by the
manufacturer.
5. The Contractor shall follow the Supplier’s cool‐down instructions prior to relieving the air
pressure of the liner.
6. The Contractor shall document a UV curing report and submit a file copy to the Engineer
for each pipe. This sheet shall contain, but not be limited to, the following:
a. Date of Installation.
b. Site number(s) and address.
c. The curing method used (i.e. UV).
d. Time and rate of travel for UV curing process.
e. Pressure and temperature readings.
f. Amount of lamps in operation on UV curing assembly.
g. Time of installation from start to finish.
7‐20.5 Testing
7‐20.5(1) Post Installation CCTV Inspections
Contractor will review the CCTV inspection video tapes and indicate where the following
deficiencies are located:
1. Cracked or damaged liner pipe.
2. Out of round liner pipe.
3. Debris in liner pipe.
The findings of the post installation inspections shall be summarized in inspection reports and
submitted to the Engineer for review. Final acceptance of the installation will not take place until
any deficiencies identified in the inspections are addressed.
7‐20.5(2) Material Testing
Contractor shall prepare a sample of the installed CIPP liner for subsequent testing of its physical
properties. Sampling shall be performed for each separate installation of CIPP or one (1) test per
batch‐order of sectional liner. The Owner reserves the right to take five (5) random core samples of
the installed CIPP liner at no additional cost in accordance with the procedures in ASTM D5813, as
is applicable. The method of repair will be as recommended by the Contractor.
The minimum wall thickness shall be determined at a minimum of three locations on a cut section
of the CIPP lining using a method of measurement accurate to the nearest 0.005 inch or one (1)
test per batch order of sectional liner not taken from actual live installation.
