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 Resident 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
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 Resident 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 Resident
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
Resident 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 Resident 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.

ATTACHMENT B
CMSD A-7 Agreement 2025
provisions of the “Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act” (Public Contract Code
Sections 4100 et seq.) and agrees to comply with all applicable provisions thereof. If any part of
the work to be done under this AGREEMENT is subcontracted, the subcontract shall be in writing
and shall provide that all work to be performed thereunder shall be performed in accordance with
this AGREEMENT. Upon request, certified copies of any or all subcontracts shall be furnished to
DISTRICT. The subcontracting of any or all of the work to be done will in no way relieve
CONTRACTOR of any part of his responsibility under the AGREEMENT. Pursuant to Public
Contract Code Section 4110, CONTRACTOR’s violation of any of the provisions of the Subletting
and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act violates this AGREEMENT, and DISTRICT may cancel this
AGREEMENT or assess CONTRACTOR a penalty of not more than 10 percent (10%) of the
subcontract involved. DISTRICT may deduct this penalty from any monies due or that may
become due to CONTRACTOR for work performed under this AGREEMENT.
All persons engaged in the work, including subcontractors, will be considered as

will deal directly with and make all payments to CONTRACTOR.
STOP NOTICES
24. Additional Costs. Pursuant to Civil Code Section 9358, upon receipt of a stop
notice, DISTRICT shall withhold from payment to CONTRACTOR sufficient funds due, or to
become due, to pay the claim stated in the stop notice and provide for DISTRICT’s reasonable
costs of litigation. One hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the amount of the claim stated in
the stop notice shall be a reasonable amount to withhold. In addition to the remedies authorized
by law, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse DISTRICT for administrative expenses incurred in
processing Notices to Withhold, Stop Notices, or similar legal documents arising out of a failure
of CONTRACTOR to pay for labor or materials. Said obligation shall be provided for in
CONTRACTOR’s payment bond. DISTRICT shall have the right to deduct any such expenses
from amounts due or to become due to CONTRACTOR under this AGREEMENT.
COMPLETION
25. CONTRACTOR’S Waiver. CONTRACTOR agrees to execute a Final Close Out
Agreement and Release of All Claims on DISTRICT’s form (attached). The execution by
CONTRACTOR of the Final Close Out Agreement and Release of All Claims shall constitute a
waiver of all claims against DISTRICT under or arising out of this AGREEMENT unless otherwise
stated in said document.
26. Guarantees. CONTRACTOR shall, and hereby does, guarantee all work for a
period of one (1) year after the date of acceptance of the work by the DISTRICT and shall repair
and replace any and all such work, together with any other work which may be displaced in so
doing, that may prove defective in workmanship and/or materials within the one (1) year period
from date of acceptance, without expense whatsoever to the DISTRICT, ordinary wear and tear
and usual abuse or neglect excepted. In the event of failure to comply with the aforementioned
conditions within five (5) days after being notified in writing, the DISTRICT is hereby authorized
to proceed to have the defects repaired and made good at the expense of the CONTRACTOR,
who shall pay the cost and charges therefor immediately on demand. This guarantee shall be in
addition to any manufacturer or specific guarantees that may be required. CONTRACTOR shall
provide those manufacturer and specific guarantees before CONTRACTOR may claim
entitlement to final payment.
ATTACHMENT B
CMSD A-8 Agreement 2025
INDEMNIFICATION
27. Indemnity. 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.

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
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
intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a
waiver of any type.
ATTACHMENT B
CMSD A-11 Agreement 2025
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.
Description of Operations. The following wording must be added to the policy: “all
operations: Costa Mesa Sanitary District, their elected and appointed officials, agents, officers,
volunteers, and employees listed as Additional Insured – Pursuant to attached endorsement.”
Changes in Coverages. The following wording must be added to the policy by
endorsement: “Said policy shall not terminate, nor shall it be canceled nor the coverage reduced,
until thirty (30) days after the written notice is given to the District.”
Excess (or Primary) and Non-contributing. The following wording must be added to the
policy by endorsement: “Any other insurance maintained by the Costa Mesa Sanitary District shall
be excess and non-contributing with the insurance provided by this policy.
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.”
ATTACHMENT B
CMSD A-12 Agreement 2025
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
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
ATTACHMENT B
CMSD A-13 Agreement 2025
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.
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,
