1.03 QUALITY ASSURANCE
A. Design Requirements:
1. Protection and Trench Safety: Pursuant to Section 6705 of the State Labor Code, all open excavations greater than 5 feet in depth shall be constructed with bracing, sheeting, shoring, or other equivalent method designed for the protection of life and limb. The trench excavation and support system shall comply in all respects with the requirements of Article
6, of the Construction Safety Orders of the Division of Industrial Safety. The Contractor's
attention is directed to the provisions of Subarticle 1540 (4), Article 6 of the California
Construction Safety Orders for alternative shoring and sloping system. It shall be the
Contractor's responsibility to provide the additional strength required to support the sides
of the excavation against loads which may exceed those employed to derive the criteria set
forth in the Industrial Safety Orders. The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a detailed
plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench
or trenches. If such plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer.
It shall be understood that the above stipulated requirements are to be considered to be the minimum to be provided. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for any and all liabilities which may arise from his failure to provide adequate shoring, bracing or sheeting as necessary to support the excavation under any or all of the conditions of loading which may exist, or which may arise during the construction of the project.
2. Excavation for Structures: All excavations shall be properly shored, sheeted and braced or cut back to the proper slope to furnish safe working conditions, to prevent shifting of
material, to prevent damage to structures or other work, and to avoid delay to the work, all
CMSD Sheeting, Shoring, Bracing and Safety
Project No. 535 02350 - 2
in accordance with applicable safety and health regulations. Before starting excavation for structures, the Contractor shall submit for record purposes complete design calculations and working drawings of proposed sheeting and bracing arrangements which have been prepared, signed and sealed by a registered civil or structural engineer. Bracing shall be arranged so as not to place any strain on portions of completed work until the general
construction has proceeded far enough to provide ample strength. If the Engineer is of the
opinion that, at any point, the sheeting or supports are inadequate or unsuited for the
purpose, he may order the Contractor to resubmit design calculations and working
drawings for that point, taking into consideration the observed field conditions. If the new
calculations show the need for additional sheeting and bracing, the Contractor shall
immediately install it. The sole responsibility for the design, methods of installation, and
adequacy of the sheeting and supports shall be and shall remain that of the Contractor. The working drawings for shoring, sheeting and bracing will not be checked by the Engineer.
3. Sequencing: The Contractor shall not start excavation until the trench support drawing has
been returned to the Contractor. When the construction sequence of structures requires the transfer of bracing to the completed portions of any structure, the Contractor shall secure the written acceptance of the Engineer prior to the installation of such bracing.
B. Submittals:
1. Trench Support Drawings: In accordance with the requirements of Section 6705 of the
Labor Code of the State of California, the Contractor shall submit detailed drawings to the
Engineer before excavation, showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping or other
provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the
excavation of any trench or trenches 5 feet or more in depth. The design shall be signed
by a registered engineer. The drawings will not be checked by the Engineer.
2. Certification: The minimum required protection will be that described in the Construction
Safety Orders of the Division of Industrial Safety. If the Contractor presents excavation
plans which vary from the shoring system standards established by the Construction Safety
Orders, the Plans shall be prepared and signed by a registered civil engineer.

CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by DISTRICT, and hold harmless DISTRICT, and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers, from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, and cost (including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees, and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder, or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the DISTRICT. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both DISTRICT and CONTRACTOR, or should DISTRICT otherwise find CONTRACTOR’s legal counsel unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the DISTRICT its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees, and all other costs and fees of litigation. The CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the DISTRICT and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact
to have been the result of the CONTRACTOR’s negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this
AGREEMENT. CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of DISTRICT under any provision of this AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless DISTRICT for liability attributable to the active negligence of DISTRICT, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where DISTRICT is shown to have been actively negligent and where DISTRICT’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of DISTRICT.
Notwithstanding any limits provided for indemnification, CONTRACTOR’s duty to defend is broader. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide DISTRICT with a defense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to DISTRICT, or pay DISTRICT’s costs of defense upon service of any complaint,
petition or other pleading that requires DISTRICT to defend itself in any proceeding arising out of the work described in this AGREEMENT. Said obligation shall not extend to disputes between CONTRACTOR and DISTRICT. INSURANCE 28. Insurance. Without limiting CONTRACTOR’s indemnification of DISTRICT, and prior to commencement of work, CONTRACTOR shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this AGREEMENT policies of insurance of the types and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to DISTRICT.
CMSD A-9 Agreement
General liability insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, $2,000,000.00 general aggregate, for bodily
injury, personal injury, and property damage, including, without limitation, blanket contractual liability, and a $2,000,000.00 completed operations aggregate. Automobile liability insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with work to be performed under this AGREEMENT, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned, or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 combined single limit for each accident. Umbrella or excess liability insurance. CONTRACTOR shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or excess liability insurance policy with limits of not less than $4,000,000.00 that will provide bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial general liability and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
A drop down feature requiring the policy to respond in the event that any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectable in whole or in part for any
reason;
Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement;
Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; and
Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies.
Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies. Workers’ compensation insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000.00) for CONTRACTOR’s employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Section 3700 of the Labor Code. In addition, CONTRACTOR shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Section 3700 of the Labor Code, for all of the subcontractor’s employees.
CONTRACTOR shall submit to DISTRICT, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of DISTRICT and its officers, agents, employees,
and volunteers. Pollution liability insurance. Environmental Impairment Liability Insurance shall be
written on a Contractor’s Pollution Liability form or other form acceptable to DISTRICT providing coverage for liability arising out of sudden, accidental, and gradual pollution and remediation. The policy limit shall be no less than $1,000,000.00 per claim and in the aggregate. All activities contemplated in this AGREEMENT shall be specifically scheduled on the policy as “covered operations.” The policy shall provide coverage for the hauling of waste from the PROJECT site to the final disposal location, including non-owned disposal sites. Products/completed operations coverage shall extend a minimum of three years after PROJECT completion. Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors. If the insured is using subcontractors, the policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy shall contain no
CMSD A-10 Agreement
language that would invalidate or remove the insurer’s duty to defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer. The DISTRICT, and its officials, officers, agents, and employees, shall be
included as insureds under the policy. Proof of insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance to DISTRICT
as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsement must be approved by DISTRICT’s risk manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with DISTRICT at all times during the term of this AGREEMENT. DISTRICT reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. Duration of coverage. CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the AGREEMENT insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by CONTRACTOR or his agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors. CONTRACTOR must maintain general
liability and umbrella or excess liability insurance for as long as there is a statutory exposure to completed operations claims. DISTRICT and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall continue as additional insureds under such policies. DISTRICT’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced,
DISTRICT has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by DISTRICT will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or DISTRICT will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, DISTRICT may cancel this AGREEMENT. Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the DISTRICT’s Counsel. Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against DISTRICT and its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow
CONTRACTOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against DISTRICT and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance
clauses from each of its subconsultants. Enforcement of AGREEMENT provisions (non estoppel). CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the DISTRICT to inform CONTRACTOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the DISTRICT, nor does it waive any rights hereunder. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not
CMSD A-11 Agreement
intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. Notice of cancellation. CONTRACTOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide DISTRICT with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each
required coverage. Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that DISTRICT and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess liability policies. DISTRICT’s right to revise requirements. The DISTRICT reserves the right, at any time during the term of the AGREEMENT, to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR a ninety (90)-day advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the DISTRICT and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR’s compensation. Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by DISTRICT. DISTRICT reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated,
lowered or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by DISTRICT. Timely notice of claims. CONTRACTOR shall give DISTRICT prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONTRACTOR’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies. Additional insurance. CONTRACTOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance which in his/her/its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work. 29. Workers’ Compensation. A. CONTRACTOR shall carry Workers’ Compensation Insurance, and require all subcontractors to carry Workers’ Compensation Insurance, as required by the Labor Code of the State of California. CONTRACTOR, by executing this AGREEMENT, hereby certifies:
“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Workers’ Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the
provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this AGREEMENT.”
B. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that it is unlawful and a crime to intentionally make false statements about employees that misclassify their job duties to obtain lesser premium costs or for other improper purposes. CONTRACTOR agrees that if it makes false statements about its employees for the purpose of obtaining lower workers’ compensation premiums or for other unlawful purposes, it shall be considered a material breach of this AGREEMENT. 30. Bonds. Within the time period set forth in the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS and prior to commencing the work on the PROJECT, the CONTRACTOR shall file with the DISTRICT
CMSD A-12 Agreement
a good and sufficient labor and material payment bond (Payment Bond) and a performance bond (Performance Bond) in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Sum covering performance of the work other than the professional design services portion of the work. The
Performance Bond and Payment Bond shall be in the form required by the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. The amounts of the Payment Bond and Performance Bond shall be increased as, when, and in the amount of any Change Orders that are executed increasing the Contract
Sum, the CONTRACTOR shall, upon request by the DISTRICT, provide evidence of such increases. Should the Payment Bond or Performance Bond or any Surety on such bond become or be determined by the DISTRICT to be insufficient, it shall be replaced within ten (10) days by a bond that fully complies with the requirements of this Section. No further payments to the CONTRACTOR for the work performed shall be made or due until the CONTRACTOR has fully complied with the requirements of this Section. Duration. The Payment Bond shall remain in effect until acceptance of the work by the DISTRICT and payment of all stop notices and claims by the CONTRACTOR or the subcontractors, of any tier, have been satisfied. The Performance Bond shall remain in effect and assure faithful performance of all the CONTRACTOR’s obligations under the CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS, including, without limitation, all obligations that survive final completion or termination, such as, but not limited to, CONTRACTOR’s warranty, commissioning, and indemnity obligations. Surety. At the time the AGREEMENT is signed, and at all times thereafter until final payment has been made by the DISTRICT, the Surety on the Payment Bond shall be an Admitted
Surety, and the Surety on the Performance Bond shall be a licensed Surety in good standing with the California Department of Insurance and have an A.M. Best’s Insurance Rating of not less than A-: VI. Premiums. The premiums for all bonds are included in the Contract Sum and shall be paid by the CONTRACTOR. Obligee. The Payment Bond and Performance Bond shall each name the DISTRICT as obligee. All bonds purchased by the subcontractors shall name the CONTRACTOR and the DISTRICT as dual obligees. No exoneration. Changes, Change Orders, Unilateral Change Orders, Field Orders, modifications, and adjustments to the Contract Sum or completion date shall in no way release or exonerate the CONTRACTOR or its Surety from their obligations, and notice thereof shall be
waived by the Surety. The foregoing provision shall be included in the terms of the Payment Bond, Performance Bond, and any bonds obtained by the subcontractors. Communications. The DISTRICT shall have the right to communicate with the CONTRACTOR’s Sureties with respect to matters that are related to the CONTRACTOR’s performance of its obligations under the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. CONTRACTOR shall be provided with a copy of all such written communications. Such communications shall not create, or be interpreted as creating, any contractual relationship between the DISTRICT and the Surety. No limitation. The requirements of this Section pertaining to the Performance Bond and the Payment Bond shall be without limitation to any other obligations the CONTRACTOR may have under applicable law to provide bonding for the benefit of and to assure payment to the subcontractors or subconsultants performing the work for the PROJECT.
CMSD A-13 Agreement
TERMINATION 31. Termination.
A. If CONTRACTOR should fail to comply with any of the provisions hereof, in the event CONTRACTOR should become the subject of a proceeding under state or federal law for
relief of debtors, or if CONTRACTOR makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, DISTRICT shall have the right to hold CONTRACTOR in default and cancel this AGREEMENT in whole or in part. B. Should CONTRACTOR, at any time during the progress of the work, refuse or neglect to supply sufficient material or labor, or fail in compliance with any provision of this AGREEMENT, DISTRICT shall have the right, without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, to provide such materials and labor, or make good such deficiencies as DISTRICT may deem expedient after three (3) day notice in writing, delivered or mailed to CONTRACTOR at his last address on file with DISTRICT, and CONTRACTOR shall be liable for the cost and expense thereof which may be deducted by DISTRICT from any money due or that may become due CONTRACTOR. C. Without limiting any rights which DISTRICT may have by reason of any default by
CONTRACTOR hereunder, DISTRICT reserves the right to terminate this AGREEMENT in whole or in part at its convenience. In such event DISTRICT shall compensate CONTRACTOR, subject to deduction for previous payments and authorized deductions, by: (i) reimbursing
CONTRACTOR for all actual expenditures and costs incurred in performing under this AGREEMENT, (ii) reimbursing CONTRACTOR for all expenditures made and costs incurred with DISTRICT’s prior written approval in settling or discharging outstanding commitments entered into by CONTRACTOR in performing under this AGREEMENT, and (iii) paying CONTRACTOR as a profit, insofar as a profit is realized hereunder, an amount equal to the profit on the entire AGREEMENT estimated at the time of termination, multiplied by the percentage of completion of the work. In no event, however, will the compensation to CONTRACTOR exceed the total AGREEMENT price less payments previously made and less the AGREEMENT price of work not terminated. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, CONTRACTOR shall, unless the notice otherwise directs, (i) immediately discontinue the work and the placing of all orders and subcontracts in connection with this AGREEMENT, (ii) immediately cancel all existing orders and
subcontracts made hereunder, and (iii) immediately transfer to DISTRICT all materials, supplies, work-in-process, appliances, facilities, equipment, machinery, and tools acquired by CONTRACTOR in connection with the performance of this AGREEMENT.

notices and related matters, and amounts to correct CONTRACTOR’S work, have been withheld
from the job:
6. Warranty. Nothing herein excuses the CONTRACTOR from honoring its one-year

abuse or neglect excepted.
7. Release and Indemnification. It is understood and agreed by the undersigned that the

so appear, and agree that the foregoing Release shall be, in all respects, effective and not subject
to termination or rescission by any such difference in facts. The undersigned hereby expressly
waive any and all rights the undersigned have or may have under California Civil Code Section
1542, which provides as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party
does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the
release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her
settlement with the debtor or released party."
It is understood and agreed that this settlement is a compromise of doubtful and disputed
20170717
claims, and that the releases made by the CONTRACTOR and DISTRICT herein are not to be
construed as an admission or admissions of liability on the part of either party and that the parties
deny liability thereof and intend merely to avoid litigation and to buy their peace. The undersigned
agree that they will forever refrain and forebear from commencing, instituting, or prosecuting any
lawsuit, action or other proceeding against the other party based on, arising out of, or in any way
connected with the subject matter of the AGREEMENT.
The CONTRACTOR hereby releases and agrees to indemnify the DISTRICT for all claims,
including those of its Subcontractors for any and all delay and impact costs.
8. No Assignment. The CONTRACTOR represents and warrants to the DISTRICT that the
CONTRACTOR has not heretofore assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any
person, firm, corporation, association or entity any of the rights, claims, warranties, demands, debts,
obligations, liabilities, actions, damages, costs, expenses and other claims whatsoever and the
CONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the DISTRICT against, without limitation,
any and all rights, claims, warranties, demands, debts, obligations, liabilities, actions, damages,
costs, expenses and other claims, including attorneys' fees, arising out of or connected with any
such assignment or transfer or purported assignment or transfer.

or agreement, not herein expressed, has been made to the undersigned and that CLOSEOUT
contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto and that the terms of this CLOSEOUT are
20170717
contractual and not a mere recital.
12. Authority. The persons executing this CLOSEOUT represent and warrant to the other
party that the execution and performance of the terms of CLOSEOUT have been duly authorized by
all requisite corporate, partnership, individual, or other entity requirements and that said persons
have the right, power, legal capacity, and authority to execute and enter into CLOSEOUT.
