Public Contract Code §20104.2(e).

Once a civil action is filed to resolve the claim, the court must submit the matter to nonbinding mediation between 30 and 60 days after responsive pleadings are filed, unless mediation is waived by the parties' mutual stipulation. The parties must select a disinterested mediator within 15 days. Mediation must begin within 30 days after submittal and must conclude within 15 days, unless extended for good cause by the court or the parties' stipulation. Public Contract Code §20104.4(a).

If the matter remains in dispute after nonbinding mediation, the case must be submitted to judicial arbitration under CCP §11411.10-1141.31. Discovery is permitted under the same rules that apply to judicial arbitration (CCP §2016-2036). Public Contract Code §20104.4(b)(1). Arbitrators must be experienced in construction law. Public Contract Code §20104(b)(2).

A party who appeals an arbitration award and fails to obtain a more favorable judgment must pay the other party's attorney fees on appeal. Public Contract Code §20104.4(b)(3). The City must pay interest at the legal rate on any arbitration award or judgment, beginning on the date that suit was filed. Public Contract Code §20104.6(b).

The Engineer will respond to such request by submitting his own written estimate of the disputed quantity, together with an estimate of what it would cost to re-measure or recalculate the work. A further effort at reconciliation will then be made. If, thereafter, the Contractor and Engineer are still unable to reach agreement, the Engineer will arrange to have the disputed quantity of work re-measured or recalculated by an independent third party or by other persons and methods which are acceptable to both the Contractor and Engineer. The cost of such re-measurement or recalculation shall be borne by the Contractor and Agency as follows:

-100 percent by the Contractor, if the re-measured or recalculated amount is less than the Engineer’s proposed pay quantity, or

-100 percent by the Agency, if the re-measured or recalculated amount is less than the Contractor’s proposed pay quantity, or

-in proportion to where the re-measured or recalculated amount lies relative to the Contractor’s and Engineer’s proposed pay quantities, if the re-measured or recalculated amount lies between the Contractor’s and Engineer’s proposed pay quantities. For


example, if the Engineer estimated 600 units and the Contractor estimated 900 units and on re-measurement the actual quantity was found to be 700 units, then the Agency will bear 1/3 of the cost of re-measurement and the Contractor will bear the remaining 2/3.

Only true direct costs of re-measurement or recalculation, which would otherwise not have been incurred, shall be included in the above allocations. No costs shall be ascribed to the time expended by project managers, inspectors, superintendents, foremen or other personnel unless such time is clearly and measurably in excess of that routinely required to carry out their normal day to day functions. 7-2 LUMP SUM WORK 7-2.1 Payment Schedule (Add the following provisions) The Contractor shall submit a payment schedule for any lump sum bid items requested by the Engineer. The schedule shall be submitted in accordance with Sections 3-8 and 7-2 of the Standard Specifications. 7-3 PAYMENT

(b) If Agency fails to make a progress payment within thirty days after it receives an

undisputed and properly submitted payment request from Contractor, Agency shall pay interest on the correct amount thereof at the legal rate set forth in Subdivision (a) of Section 685.010 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

(c) The number of days available to Agency to make a payment without incurring an

interest obligation thereon shall be reduced by the number of days by which the City exceeds the seven-day return requirement of (a) above for return of an improper request.

(d) A "progress payment" includes all payments due under the contract, except that

portion of the final payment which is designated as retention earnings.

7-3.2.2 Final Pay Quantities (Add the following provisions) When the estimated quantity for a specific portion of the work is designated or categorized on the plans or in these Special Provisions as a “FINAL PAY ITEM,” or is so designated on the proposal forms by the


appearance of an “F” adjacent to the bid item involving that portion of the work, the estimated quantity for that portion of the work shall be considered the final quantity for which payment will be made, unless the dimensions of that portion of the work are changed on the plans by the Engineer or that portion of the work is eliminated. If the dimensions of that portion of the work are revised and the revision results in an increase or decrease in the estimated quantity of that portion of the work, the final quantity for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the changes in dimensions. If that portion of the work is eliminated, the final pay quantity designated for that portion of the work will be eliminated.

The estimated final quantity for such specific portion of the work shall be considered as approximate only and no guarantee is made that any actual quantity which can be determined by computations, based on the details and dimensions shown on the plans, will equal the estimated quantity. It shall be the bidder’s responsibility to judge, based on the details and dimensions shown on the plans and observation at the job site, the accuracy of the estimated final quantity, making adjustments to the bid prices as the bidder feels necessary to compensate for discrepancies. No later allowance or adjustment in payment will be made in the event that any quantity based on subsequent computations or measurements does not equal the estimated final pay quantity.

When portions of an item have been designated on the plans as final pay quantities,

portions not so designated will be measured and paid for in accordance with the applicable provisions of these Special Provisions and the Standard Specifications.

In case of discrepancy between the quantity shown on the plans as a final pay quantity and the quantity of the same item shown on the proposal forms, payment will be based on the quantity shown on the proposal forms.

PART 2

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

SECTION 200 - ROCK MATERIALS 200-2 UNTREATED BASE MATERIALS In lieu of crushed aggregate base, the Contractor may use, at Contractor's option, crushed miscellaneous base as per Section 200-2.4 or pulverized miscellaneous base as per Section 200-2.8 of the Standard Specifications, or Class 2 aggregate base as per Section 26 Aggregate Bases of the State Standard Specifications. When the plans specify aggregate subbase, the material used shall be select subbase as specified in Section 200-2.6 of the Standard Specifications. For Clarification: It may be noted that the specifications allow R-value requirements to be waived in certain circumstances. This should not be interpreted to imply that the Agency will reduce its standards of structural pavement design, but rather that alternative designs may be allowed. The design of structural pavement sections has, for this project, been based on base materials having a minimum R-value of 77. All base materials will be tested by Agency. If the base materials only fail to meet the required R-value and if the Contractor requests that the R-value requirement of the base materials be waived, the Engineer will redesign the structural pavement cross-section based on the actual R-values. The Contractor shall bear the cost of such redesign and furthermore shall not be entitled to any compensation for any additional construction costs resulting from such design revisions.

Attention: Mr. Joshua CoxDevelopment Director

Project No.: 18G143-2

Subject: Limited Pavement Investigation and Design ReportHangar Remodel – Access Road285 South Leland Norton WaySan Bernardino, California

Gentlemen:

In accordance with your request, we are pleased to present the findings of the pavementinvestigation which we performed for the access road improvements associated with the HangarRemodel project. This pavement investigation was performed in accordance with our ChangeOrder No. 18G143-CO2, dated May 31, 2018.

Project Description

The subject site consists of an existing hangar located within the San Bernardino InternationalAirport in San Bernardino, California. The airport is located at the street address of 1601 EastThird Street in San Bernardino, California. The hangar, which is identified with the streetaddress of 285 South Leland Norton Way in San Bernardino, California, is located in the west-central area of the airport.

Based on information provided by Mr. Jim Harris of the San Bernardino International Airport,Inland Valley Development Agency (SBIAA), we have been requested to investigate the existingpavement thicknesses within the existing access road which is located in the southwesternregion of the airport property. Based on information provided by SBIAA, the access road willprovide truck access to the proposed FedEx Hangar. The majority of the exiting access road isdeveloped with asphaltic concrete pavements. Currently, the access road is approximately 12±feet wide, however, we understand that the project will include widening the existing road toallow for two-way truck traffic. In addition, a portion of the access road which parallelsTippecanoe Avenue is currently developed with aggregate base.

Based on discussions with SBIAA, we understand that approximately 30 to 50 trucks will utilizethe new traveled way. Therefore, we have been requested to perform a pavement investigationto determine the thickness of the existing pavements and to provide a pavement designrecommendation for the proposed truck traffic. The pavement investigation was performed inthe locations specified by a representative of SBIAA. The pavement design presented below wasbased on the results of R-Value testing performed on the collected soils samples, and onassumed traffic index values.

Proposed Access Road – San Bernardino, CAProject No. 18G143-2

Scope of Services

The scope of services included investigating the existing pavement thicknesses at three (3)separate locations within the traveled way of the existing access drive. The purpose of thesecores was to determine the thickness of the existing asphaltic concrete and aggregate basesections. The scope of work also included obtaining soil samples from the underlying pavementsubgrades. In addition, the project included determining the existing aggregate base thicknesswithin the portion of the access road located along Tippecanoe Avenue, along the southwesternboundary of the airport limits. The approximate locations of the core and sample locations areindicated on the Pavement Core Location Plan, enclosed as Plate 1 of this report.

Field Exploration

At location Nos. C-1, C-2, and C-3, a portable coring rig equipped with a 5-inch diameterdiamond-tipped core barrel was used to core through the existing pavement sections. At eachof these locations, the thickness of the existing pavement sections was obtained. Following thecoring procedures, hand auger drilling equipment was utilized to obtain soil samples of theunderlying subgrades. At completion, the core-holes were backfilled and cold-patched.

The pavement sections encountered at the core locations C-1, C-2 and C-3 generally consist of2½± to 3½± inches of asphaltic concrete with 3± to 12± inches of underlying aggregate base.Based on visual classification, the subgrade soils encountered beneath the pavements at thecoring locations generally consist of sands and silty sands. The thicknesses of the existingpavement sections are presented in the table below.

Aggregate BaseThickness (inches)

C-1 2½ 12

C-2 2¾ 3

C-3 3½ 7

C-4 0 15

C-5 0 6

In addition to the pavement cores discussed above, two (2) additional hand-auger borings weredrilled in the aggregate base drive located along Tippecanoe Avenue. As noted above, theaggregate base sections at locations C-4 and C-5 measured 15 and 6 inches thick, respectively.Within all of the core locations, hand auger borings were drilled to a depth of 2 feet in order tocollect soil samples of the underlying subgrades for laboratory testing. The approximatelocations of the borings are indicated on the Pavement Core Location Plan, enclosed as Plate 1of this report.

Laboratory Testing

R-value testing was conducted on one (1) representative soil sample recovered from theproposed pavement areas. The R-(resistance) value was determined for representative soilssamples in accordance with CA Test Method 301. This test provides a measure of the pavementsupport characteristics of the soils and is used in the pavement thickness design procedure.The results of the R-value testing are as follows:


Page 3

Sample ID R-Value

C-5 @ 0 to 2 feet 77

Based on the results of R-value testing, and on our experience with the underlying soils at thesite, and on the varying composition of the underlying soils, it is recommended that the newflexible pavement sections be designed utilizing a conservative R-value of 50.

Conclusions and Recommendations

The recommended thicknesses for new flexible pavement structures consisting of asphalticconcrete over a granular base are presented below. The recommended pavement thicknesseswere determined based on the results of laboratory testing, and the anticipated traffic volumespresented below. The client and/or civil engineer should verify that these TI’s are representativeof the anticipated traffic volumes. If the client and/or civil engineer determine that the expectedtraffic volume will exceed the applicable traffic index, we should be contacted forsupplementary recommendations. The design traffic indices equate to the followingapproximate daily traffic volumes over a 20-year design life, assuming seven (7) operationaltraffic days per week.

The pavement thicknesses shown above are the minimum required sections determined inaccordance with the Caltrans Highway Design Manual method for flexible pavement design. It isexpected that grind and overlay procedures may be required to achieve new asphaltic concretesection described above.

Flexible Pavement Subgrades

The subgrade soils in any new pavement areas should be scarified, moisture conditioned to 0 to4 percent above the optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of theASTM D-1557 maximum dry density to a depth of at least 12 inches below the aggregate basecourse.


Page 4

The aggregate base course should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the ASTM D-1557maximum dry density. The asphaltic concrete should be compacted to at least 95 percent of theMarshall maximum density, as determined by ASTM D-2726. The aggregate base course mayconsist of crushed aggregate base (CAB) or crushed miscellaneous base (CMB), which is arecycled gravel, asphalt and concrete material. However, the county of Riverside The gradation,R-Value, Sand Equivalent, and Percentage Wear of the CAB or CMB should comply withappropriate specifications contained in the current edition of the “Greenbook” StandardSpecifications for Public Works Construction.
