The estimated construction cost of this project is $335,000. This estimate is not based on a "contractor's
cost take off" of the project, but is derived from an averaging of costs for work on similar projects in
the area of which the City is aware. This figure is given to indicate the relative order of magnitude of
this project and is not intended to influence or affect in any way the amount bid for this project.
4. All bids shall be accompanied by a bid bond, cashier's check, or certified check made payable to the
City of San Mateo in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount of the bid.
5. Contractor is notified that he shall comply with the requirements for Affirmative Action as set forth in
Special Provisions SP -7-2.3.1 through SP -7-2.3.9.
6. The time of completion for this contract shall be forty-five (45) working days, beginning from the date
specified in the Notice to Proceed.
7. The right is reserved, as the interest of City may require, to reject any or all bids, to waive any
informality in bids, and to accept, modify, or reject any items of the bid.
8. In general, the prevailing wage scale, as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations of the State
of California, in force on the day this bid was announced, will be the minimum paid to all craftsmen and
laborers working on this project. In some cases, prevailing wage determinations have either a single
asterisk (*) or double asterisks (**) after the expiration date in effect on the date of advertisement for

In cases where the prevailing wage determinations have a single asterisk (*) after the expiration date
which are in effect on the date of advertisement for bids, such determinations remain in effect for the
life of the project. Prevailing wage determinations which have double asterisks (**) after the expiration
date indicate that the basic hourly wage rate, overtime, and holiday pay rates, and employer payments

to the pre -construction or better condition. If the inspection confirms that substantial completion
has been attained, the City will discontinue counting working days for the project. The City will
also issue a punch -list of any minor work items that must be completed prior to Final Acceptance
of the contract.
When the Engineer has made the final inspection, including sign -off of all punch -list items, and
when the Contractor has submitted a set of full-size blue lines of the contract plans with all the
changes to reflect "As Built" conditions, the Public Works Director will recommend that the City
Council formally accept the contract and file the Notice of Completion. Immediately upon and after
such acceptance by the City Council, the Contractor will be relieved of the duty of maintaining and

except warranty work; and the Contractor shall be relieved of his responsibility for injury to persons
or property or damage to the work which occurs after the formal acceptance by the City Council.
SP -6-9 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES Failure of the Contractor to complete the work within the
time allowed will result in damages being sustained by the City of San Mateo. Such damages will
be determined on the following basis. For each consecutive calendar day in excess of the time
specified for completion of the work (as adjusted), the Contractor shall pay to the City of San
Mateo, or have withheld from monies due it, the sum of the amount necessary to cover any add-on
costs or lost revenue and by cost plus an estimate of overhead costs incurred by the City; e.g.,
inspection and administrative costs, loss of revenue or the cost of alternative services during delay,
etc.
Execution of the contract under these specifications shall constitute agreement by the City of San
Mateo and Contractor that $250 per day is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused
by failure of the Contractor to complete the work within the allotted time, that liquidated damages
shall not be construed as a penalty, and that the amount calculated by the City may be deducted from
payments due the Contractor if such delay occurs.
SP -6-11 MEDIATION - Should any dispute arise out of this Agreement, any party may request that
it be submitted to mediation. The parties shall meet in mediation within 30 days of a request. The
mediator shall be agreed to by the mediating parties; in the absence of an agreement, the parties shall

The cost of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties. Neither party shall be deemed the
prevailing party. No party shall be permitted to file a legal action without first meeting in mediation
and making a good faith attempt to reach a mediated settlement. The mediation process, once
commenced by a meeting with the mediator, shall last until agreement is reached by the parties but
not more than 60 days, unless the maximum time is extended by the parties.
SP -6-12 ARBI1 RATION - After mediation above, and upon agreement of the parties, any dispute
arising out of or relating to this agreement may be settled by arbitration in accordance with the
Construction Industry Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The costs of

general, the prevailing wage scale, as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations of the State

and laborers working on this project. In some cases, prevailing wage determinations have either a
single asterisk (*) or double asterisks (**) after the expiration date in effect on the date of
advertisement for bids.
In cases where the prevailing wage determinations have a single asterisk (*) after the expiration date
which are in effect on the date of advertisement for bids, such determinations remain in effect for
the life of the project. Prevailing wage determinations which have double asterisks (**) after the
expiration date indicate that the basic hourly wage rate, overtime, and holiday pay rates, and
employer payments to be paid for work performed after this date have been predetermined. If work
is extended past this date, the new rate must be paid and should be incorporated in contracts the
Contractor enters into.
A copy of the correct determination will be posted at the job site. It is understood that it is the
responsibility of the bidder to determine the correct scale. The City will keep a copy of the wage
scale in the City Clerk's office for the convenience of bidders. Any errors or defects in the materials
in the City Clerk's office will not excuse a bidder's failure to comply with the actual scale then in
force.
Each Contractor and Subcontractor and any lower -tier Subcontractor shall submit weekly certified
payrolls for each work week from the time he starts work on the project until he completes his work.
If he performs no work on the project during a given work week, he may either submit a weekly
payroll form with the notation, "No work performed during this work week," or submit a letter to
that effect. He should identify his initial and final payrolls by marking them "Initial" and "Final."

Payrolls shall be completed and submitted no later than seven (7) work days following completion
of the work week.
SP -7-2,5 EMPLOYMENT OF APPRENTICES - Contractor shall be responsible for compliance
with California Labor Code Section 1777.5 relating to employment of apprentices for all
apprenticeable occupations when the contract amount exceeds $30,000 or 20 working days or both.
SP -7-3.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE - The Contractor shall provide and maintain:
A. Commercial General Liability Insurance, occurrence form, with a limit of not less than
$1,000,000 each occurrence. If such insurance contains a general aggregate limit, it shall
apply separately to this Agreement or be no less than two (2) times the occurrence limit.
B. Automobile Liability Insurance, occurrence form, with a limit of not less than $1,000,000
each occurrence. Such insurance shall include coverage for owned, hired, and non -owned
automobiles.
C. Workers Compensation in at least the minimum statutory limits.
D. General Provisions for all insurance. All insurance shall:
1. Include the City of San Mateo, its elected and appointed officers, employees, and
volunteers as additional insureds with respect to this Agreement and the performance
of services in this Agreement. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on
the scope of its protection to the above -designated insureds.
2. Be primary with respect to any insurance or self-insurance programs of City, its
officers, employees, and volunteers.
3. Be evidenced, prior to commencement of services, by properly executed policy
endorsements in addition to a certificate of insurance.
a. In addition to requiring that you provide an insurance certificate showing the
levels and types of coverage required for your project or contract, the City
of San Mateo also requires you to provide the City with a copy of the actual
endorsements to the commercial general, automobile, and any excess liability
insurance policies that show that the City of San Mateo, its boards,
commissions, officers, agents, and employees have been named as additional
insureds by the insurers.
These endorsements are required because California Insurance Code § 384
expressly provides that an insurance certificate is not proof of what the
underlying insurance policy actually contains. If you look at an insurance
certificate, you will notice that the certificate actually says the same thing.
Therefore, a certificate has minimal legal value and the City cannot be
reasonably certain that it is covered under the policies shown on the
certificate without endorsements.

An endorsement is a piece of paper that modifies the terms of the underlying

lineal feet of the entire inside periphery of the sewer pipe. Lighting for the camera shall minimize
reflective glare. To insure peak picture quality throughout all conditions encountered during the
survey, a variable intensity control of the camera lights and remote control adjustments for focus
and iris shall be located at the monitoring station. Focal distance shall be adjustable through a range
of from six inches to infinity. Continuously displayed on the monitors shall be the date of the
survey, number designation of the upstream and downstream manholes corresponding to the line
section being surveyed, and a continuous forward and reverse readout of the camera distance from
the manhole of reference. The remote reading footage counter shall be accurate to two -tenths of a
foot per 100 feet. The camera, television monitor and other components shall be capable of
producing a minimum 500 line resolution color video picture.
SP -500-1.1.5.3 OPERATION. The camera shall be moved through the line in either direction at
a uniform rate, stopping when necessary to permit proper documentation of the sewer condition.
In no case will the television camera be pulled at a speed greater than 30 feet per minute. Manual
winches, power winches, TV cable, and powered rewinds or other devices that do not obstruct the
camera view or interfere with proper documentation of the sewer conditions shall be used to move
the camera through the sewer line.
As the camera approaches a lateral connection or substantial defect, the camera progress shall be
halted and the camera lens panned to further view the lateral pipe and connection or defect to
thoroughly evaluate its condition.
If during the inspection operation, the television camera will not pass through the entire line section
as a result of offset joints, broken pipe or other obstructions, Contractor shall set up his equipment
so that the inspection can be performed from the destination manhole. If, again, the camera fails
to pass through the entire line section, Contractor shall immediately notify City. In the case of
submerged lines or sags, or when the viewable portion of the pipe is reduced to less than 270
degrees of the circumference of the pipe wall, Contractor shall block the upstream manhole(s) and
vacuum clean or jet flush the line to remove or lower the standing water level and proceed with the
television inspection. In the event Contractor is still unable to televise the entire line and has
demonstrated to the City that every reasonable effort has been made to clean the line for inspection
or reverse the camera path, Contractor will move on to the next set up. However, City reserves the
right to perform spot repairs to the line and have Contractor reinspect the line. Reverse taping
segments shall be checked for total coverage of manhole to manhole runs.
In the event sewage flows are too great to allow inspection or plugging at the upstream manhole(s),
then the Contractor shall coordinate with City to reschedule television inspection during low flow
periods such as early morning (i.e., between 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m.).
When manually operated winches are used to pull the television camera through the line, walkie
talkie radios or other suitable means of communication shall be set up between the two manholes
of the section being inspected to ensure good communications between members of the crew.
The importance of accurate distance measurements is emphasized. The accuracy of the remote
reading footage counter shall be checked by use of a walking meter, roll -a -tape, or other suitable
device, and the accuracy shall be satisfactory to the Engineer.

the existing sanitary sewer by breaking the existing pipe and immediately pushing new pipe in its
place. The HDPE shall comply with subsection 207-19 except that the SDR shall be 17.
Contractor shall plan and schedule work to complete pipe bursting/installation in one working day
as defined in SP -7-2.2.1. Once a new pipe section has been pulled into place by the pipe bursting
method, a 24 -hour waiting period shall be established for the newly -installed pipe to "relax" and
release tension developed in the pipe during the installation process. This will prevent the shearing
of permanent lateral connections made immediately following the pipe installation process. During
this 24 -hour "relax" time, laterals shall be connected to the new sewer main by temporary flexible
connections. Since the pulling process, "relax" time, and permanent reconnection process will take
a minimum of two working days, no line pulling will be allowed to begin on a Friday or the last
work day before a City holiday.
SP -500-1.11.2 LAUNCH AND RECEPTION PITS - The size, location, method and schedule to
open and close excavations of all pits on -site shall be determined by the Contractor and a written
plan shall be submitted to the City for approval prior to the start of the project. The excavations
shall be supported using trench sheets and speed shoring, or equivalent. For methods requiring
launch pits, the end(s) of the pit on which pusher forces are exerted are to be supported using 12"
x 12" timbers or larger to allow dissipation of these forces into the surrounding soil. Upon
completion of the work, pits shall be backfilled to a relative compaction of 95%. All costs to the
Contractor for excavation, shoring,supports, backfill and compaction shall be included in the
various bid items and no additional compensation shall be made.
SP -500-1.11.3 INSTALLATION AND FIELD INSPECTION. The HDPE shall conform to ASTM
F585 paragraphs 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 regarding cleaning and inspection, Section 5 for excavations, and
Section 6 for storage, handling and inspection of pipe.
SP -500-1.11.4 EOUIPMENT
A. BURSTING UNIT. This unit shall consist of a percussive "mole" which is forced through
the existing pipe, expanding the pipe as the mole progresses. Covering the mole shall be a

steel shield providing for free movement of the mole independent of the inserted pipe, while
at the same time ensuring that the two remain connected. This will allow the cracking head
to displace the ground without the encumbrance of pulling the pipe. Passage of the pipe
shall be controlled at approximately 1.0 to 2.0 feet per minute and shall be capable of
achieving inserted distances of up to 1,000 feet.
1. The bursting unit shall be pneumatically or hydraulically powered. It shall incorporate an
expander shield at the nose of the machine which shall break out the existing pipe to a
diameter sufficient to insert the size pipe specified for the work location. The design of the
expander shall be such that the existing pipe will be broken into many small fragments.
2. The method of connection of the inserted pipe to the expander shall be so that stresses
transmitted to the inserted pipe are not damaging to the pipe, nor will they exceed the tensile
capacity of the pipe.
3. Provisions shall be made in the equipment to remotely start and stop the mole should it
become necessary to temporarily cease moling operations.
4. Measures shall be taken to ensure that the pipe does not become separated from the mole.
The system shall employ an hydraulic pipe jacking process which will allow the lining pipe
to slide within the mole expander.
B. WINCH UNIT. This unit shall be operated to provide constant load to the burster unit in
order that it may operate in an efficient manner with a minimum of recoil. It shall ensure
directional stability in keeping the moling unit in line.
1. Specific Winch Requirements.
a. The winch shall be of the constant load type, but shall be fitted with a direct reading
load gauge to measure the winching load. It shall also be fitted with a device to
automatically disengage when the load exceeds a preset maximum load.
b. Contractor shall supply sufficient cable in one continuous length so that the pull may
be continuous between winching points.
c. The winch, cable and cable drum shall be provided with safety cage and supports.
d. Contractor shall provide a system of guide pulleys and bracing at each manhole to
minimize contact of cable with the existing sewer between manholes.
e. A nose cone shall be fixed to the first pipe or the head of the mole expander and
shall be fitted with a swivel attachment to reduce the twist transmission between the
winch cable and the nose cone.
f. The supports to the trench sheets in the insertion trench shall remain completely
separate for the pipe support system and shall be so designed that neither the pipe nor
the winch cable shall be in contact with them at any time.

Proper clearance shall be provided below the existing pipe to allow for the proper
use of the winch.
C. HYDRAULIC PIPE PUSHING MACHINE. This machine shall be used to overcome both
the weight of the pipe material and the frictional forces of the surrounding soil during the
insertion operation.
1. The pushing machine shall allow the mole to work independent from pulling the pipe.
2. The machine shall have static and moving jaws to grip the pipe alternately.
3. Proper clearance shall be provided below the existing pipe to allow for the proper use of the
pushing machine.
D. OTHER EQUIPMENT. All other equipment necessary to provide the work specified
herein, including but not limited to:
Back hoes, Dump trucks, Compressors, Chain saws, Pavement cutting saws, Trench Sheeting,
Timber supports, Speed shoring, PE Butt Fusion machines, Generator, pipe cutters, cranes,
compactors, rollers, dewatering pumps, and hoses.
$P-500-1.11.5 TREATMENT OF PIPE AT INTERMEDIATE MANHOLES
A. When the pipe passes through an intermediate manhole, it shall be cut in an approved
manner so that 3" protrudes into the manhole or a top window cut out using the pipe as a
trough. The invert of the manhole shall be broken out to a depth of 1 %" and rebenched
using granolithic concrete.
B. When the PE is run through the manholes, the channel is formed by cutting out the top of
the pipe using a small compressed air disc cutter.
The rehabilitation of the base of the manhole is then completed by re -benching to the PE channel
using granolithic concrete.
$P-500 - 1.11.6 TREATMENT OF PIPE AT UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM MANHOLES
A. At the upstream and downstream ends of the pipe, it shall be cut in an approved manner so
that 3" protrudes into the manhole. The invert of the manhole shall be suitably prepared
such that a smooth transition shall be made from the existing pipework to the new pipe.
B. To seal the PE in the manholes at the entry and exit points, the ends of the pipe are
surrounded in concrete which forms part of the manhole base. There are additional methods
for this operation which may be employed such as mechanical anchoring systems. These
other methods must be approved by the City in advance of installation.

$P-500-1.11.7 LATERALS
A. All lateral connections will be located and disconnected by the Contractor, prior to moling
and then permanently reconnected to the new pipe after moling has been completed.
Contractor shall verify whether or not lateral connections are live prior to moling and only
reconnect live laterals.
B. Reconnection of laterals is accomplished from the ground surface by excavating a small
opening and dropping in speed shoring so the connections can be made safely.
C. The finished connection shall be made flush with the new sewer and shall provide a smooth
transition to the existing lateral pipework. The existing laterals shall be reconnected to the
new sewer using a strap -on PE saddle, using #316 stainless steel band, screw and housing
securing clamps, a reducer, a 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16 long radius bend (not an elbow), and one (1)
five foot replacement length of 4" PE SDR 33.5 pipe. The Contractor shall use FERNCO
couplings or City -approved equal for all lateral reconnections. All costs to the Contractor
for lateral reconnections including excavation and backfill (95% compaction) shall be
included in its bid.
$P-500-1.11.8 JOINTING: PE BUTT FUSION WELDING
A. The pipe manufacturer will supply the required PE butt fusion parameters so that the
temperatures and pressures of the jointing process are known and can be checked on site.
The butt fusion parameters required are:
1. The temperature at the surface of the heating plate (the fusion temperature);
2. The pressure used to push the pipe against the heating plate;
3. The time when the pipe ends are in contact with the heating plate but no pressure is being
applied (soak time);
4. The pressure used to push the pipe ends together after heating (the fusion pressure);
5. The time of application of this butt fusion pressure (fusion cooling time);
6. Allowable bead height and width range.
B. Pipes shall be given adequate support on rollers which allows them free axial movement.
C. Fusion shall be undertaken in clean conditions. Appropriate cover shall be provided to
prevent rain or airborne particles from contaminating faces prepared for welding and to
provide shelter from the wind. If necessary, pipe ends shall be plugged or covered to
prevent intemal cooling. Only electric heating plates shall be used for butt fusion welding.
D. The butt fusion jointing procedure shall be as follows:
1. Ensure heating faces of electrical heating plate are clean;

2. Open jointing clamps to their full extent. Place pipe ends to be jointed in clamps with at
least 1" of pipe projecting inward from each clamp. Single pipes should be held on the
movable clamp side of the fusion machine. Pipes should be aligned.
3. Tighten clamps fully thus ensuring total roundness of pipe ends as well as securing them.
4. Trim pipe ends with clean planing tool. Ensure trimming is complete over the entire pipe
circumference with no grooves or ridges. Check pipe projection is still as recommended,
typically at least 3/4", or adjust. Do not touch newly exposed faces.
5. Remove planing tool and bring pipe ends together. Check alignment for truly parallel
mating surfaces. Ensure that no gap between pipe ends is greater than 0.02" and that pipe
wall faces do not overlap at any point on the circumference by more than 5% of the wall
thickness.
6. Check that the heating plate temperature is correct and that the heating faces are clean.
7. Insert heating plate between pipe ends and raise heating pressure to correct value. Heat until
reconunended bead is raised uniformly around the pipe.
8. Reduce pressure and leave for soak time, maintaining contact between pipe and heating
plate.
9. Quickly move pipe ends apart, remove heating plate and ease pipe ends together at
reconunended pressure, and maintain pressure during fusion cooling time.
10. Check that the fusion bead is uniform in shape and that the exuded material looks smooth.
11. Check the bead width against the manufacturer's allowable limits, and that the bead height
is not greater than half the bead width.
12 Leave undisturbed to cool naturally.
13. At any unacceptable butt fusion at least a 10" length of pipe on either side of that fusion
shall be cut out and discarded.
SP -500-1.11.9 HDPE INSERTION
A. The installation forces on the pipe shall be kept to a minimum.
B. Where a continuous length of pipeline is butt fused prior to insertion, the length of insertion
pit shall be defined below:
I . The bottom of the pit shall be horizontal and its length shall not be less than 12 times the
diameter of the pipe to be inserted.
2. The rear sloping face of the pit shall be not less than 30 times the diameter of the pipe.

C. Where a device is employed to exert force on the rear of the inserted pipe lengths, the force
applied to the inserted pipe shall be evenly distributed around the wall of the pipe.
D. Maximum force to be within stress limits of the pipe.
E. Where lengths of pipe are jointed and a device is employed to exert force to the rear of the
inserted pipe lengths, precautions will be taken by the contractor to ensure that no buckling,
crushing or twisting of the pipe occurs.
F. Where lengths of polyethylene pipe are pushed, there is no relaxation time required to allow
pipe to return to its original length.

In cases where the prevailing wage determinations have a single asterisk (*) after the expiration date
which are in effect on the date of advertisement for bids, such determinations remain in effect for
the life of the project. Prevailing wage determinations which have double asterisks (**) after the
expiration date indicate that the basic hourly wage rate, overtime, and holiday pay rates, and
employer payments to be paid for work performed after this date have been predetermined. If work
is extended past this date, the new rate must be paid and should be incorporated in contracts the
Contractor enters into.
A copy of the correct determination will be posted at the job site. It is understood that it is the
responsibility of the bidder to determine the correct scale. The City will keep a copy of the wage
scale in the City Clerk's office for the convenience of bidders. Any errors or defects in the materials
in the City Clerk's office will not excuse a bidder's failure to comply with the actual scale then in
force.

A. Commercial General Liability Insurance, occurrence form, with a limit of not
less than $1,000,000 each occurrence. If such insurance contains a general
aggregate limit, it shall apply separately to this Agreement or be no less than
two (2) times the occurrence limit.

than $1,000,000 each occurrence. Such insurance shall include coverage for
owned, hired, and non -owned automobiles.
