INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 4 of 14
10. MBE/WBE CONTRACT COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Contract Compliance Program (hereinafter
called Program) is to act as an impetus for increasing the
participation of minority and women disadvantaged business
enterprise (MBE/WBE) in City awarded construction contracts.
The Program does not propose to eliminate any bonafide contractor
or subcontractor from bidding on City contracts, but it will hopefully
serve as a needed stimulus to help local MBE/WBE's grow and
eventually become mainstream contractors and subcontractors.
This Contract Compliance Program does not propose to include
any set-aside or quotas, but only flexible goals where "good-faith
efforts" are required by the contractor to use MBE/WBE
subcontractors.
This Program shall not eliminate the need for contractors to
continue their "good-faith efforts" in using MBE/WBE
subcontractors on City contracts estimated at less than $50,000.
The City of Waterloo will make every effort to reduce in-house
construction and maintenance work that would be more cost
effectively performed by the private sector and, thus, would allow
additional bidding opportunities for MBE/WBE firms.
The City Contract Compliance Officer shall be advised cf all City of
Waterloo awarded construction contracts.
DEFINITIONS
Goals:
A flexible numerically expressed objective which contractors are
required to make "good-faith efforts." The key to the requirement is
to make documented efforts. Goals are neither set-a-sides nor a
device to achieve proportional representation or equal results.
Numerical goals do not create set-a-sides for specific groups, nor
are they designed to achieve proportional representation or equal
results. Rather, the goal-setting process in affirmative action
planning is used to target and measure the effectiveness of
affirmative action efforts to eradicate and prevent discrimination.
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 5 of 14
Quota:
A flat numerical requirement that the contractor is required to meet
in order to obtain the benefit or be in compliance. The numerical
goal component of affirmative action programs is not designed to
be, nor may it properly or lawfully be interpreted as, permitting

workers owning businesses or living in the Waterloo area must be given
priority in supplying materials, bidding for subcontract work, or applying for

record in constructing the type of improvements embraced, and his
organization and equipment available for the work contemplated; and,
when specifically requested, a detailed financial statement. The City of
Waterloo, Iowa, shall have the right to take such steps as it deems
necessary to determine the ability of the bidder to perform his obligations
under the contract, and the bidder shall furnish the City of Waterloo, Iowa,
all such information and data for this purpose as it may request. The right
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 11 of 14
is reserved to reject any bid where an investigation of the available
evidence or information does not satisfy the City of Waterloo, Iowa, that
the bidder is qualified to carry out properly the terms of the contract.
13. AWARD OF CONTRACT
a. Award of contract will be made to that responsive and responsible
bidder whose bid, conforming to the Specifications, is most
advantageous to the City of Waterloo; price and other factors
considered. The intention is to award the contract at the time of
opening bids, but the right is reserved to postpone such action for a
reasonable time, not exceeding thirty (30) days.
b. The City Council may, when in its interest, reject any or all bids or
waive any informality in bids received.
c. The bidder shall submit bids on all the items listed in the proposal
and shall state the unit bid price in words in the blank spaces
provided beneath the item description. Should there be any
discrepancy between the unit bid price in words and listed numeral
unit bid price, the City of Waterloo shall consider the unit bid price
in words as being the valid unit bid price. A computer-generated
spreadsheet as herein provided shall also be acceptable.
Proposals requiring mathematical computations to determine unit
prices or totals will be rejected. A contract will be awarded to the
qualified bidder submitting the lowest total bid for the BASE BID
plus ALTERNATE(S) chosen by the City as indicated in the
NOTICE TO BIDDERS.
d. When a contract for a public improvement is to be awarded to the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder, a resident bidder shall
be allowed a preference as against a nonresident bidder from a
state or foreign country if that state or foreign country gives or
requires any preference to bidders from that state or foreign
country, including but not limited to any preference to bidders, the
imposition of any type of labor force preference, or any other form
of preferential treatment to bidders or laborers from that state or
foreign country. The preference allowed shall be equal to the
preference given or required by the state or foreign country in which
the nonresident bidder is a resident. In the instance of a resident
labor force preference, a nonresident bidder shall apply the same
resident labor force preference to a public improvement in this state
as would be required in the construction of a public improvement by
the state or foreign country in which the nonresident bidder is a
resident.

14. EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT, BONDS, AND CERTIFICATE OF
INSURANCE
a. Subsequent to the award and within ten (10) days after the
prescribed forms are presented for signature, the successful bidder
shall execute and deliver to the City of Waterloo. Iowa, an
agreement in the form included in the contract documents in such
number of copies as the City of Waterloo, Iowa, may require.
b. Having satisfied all conditions of award as set forth elsewhere in
these documents, the successful bidder shall, within the period
specified in paragraph "a" above, furnish a surety bond and a
payment bond in a penal sum not less than the amount of the
contract as awarded, as security for the faithful performance of the
contract and terms and conditions therein contained and shall
guarantee the prompt payment of all persons, firms, or corporations
to whom the contractor may become legally indebted for labor,
materials, tools, equipment, or services of any nature including
utility and transportation services, employed or used by him in
performing the work. The bonds shall protect and save harmless
the City from claims and damages of any kind caused by the
operations of the contractor and shall also guarantee the
maintenance of the contract improvements for the period stated in
the Notice of Hearing from and after completion of said
improvements and their acceptance by the City. Such bonds shall
be in the same form as that included in the contract documents and
shall bear the same date as, or a date subsequent to that of the
agreement. The current Power of Attorney for the person who
signs for any surety company shall be attached to such bonds.
c. The successful bidder shall, within the period specified in

Specifications for Construction, Section F. No. 4 "Liability
Insurance," Pages 14 to 15 of 18 Pages. The certificate of
insurance shall be furnished in such number of copies as the City of
Waterloo may require. The City of Waterloo shall be named as an

subcontractor's certificates of insurance in the amounts for approval
before each commences work. The contractor shall carry or
require that there be Workmen's Compensation Insurance for all his
employees and those of his subcontractors engaged in work at the

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 13 of 14
d. The failure of the successful bidder to execute such agreement and
to supply the required bond or bonds within ten (10) days after the
prescribed forms are presented for signature, or within such
extended period as the City of Waterloo, Iowa, may grant, based
upon reasons determined sufficient by the City of Waterloo, Iowa,
may either award the contract to the next lowest bidder or re-
advertise for bids, and may charge against the bidder the difference
between the amount of the bid an the amount for which a contract
for the work is subsequently executed, irrespective of whether the
amount thus due exceeds the amount of the bid guaranty. If a
more favorable bid is received by re-advertising, the defaulting
bidder shall have no claim against the City of Waterloo, Iowa, for a
refund.
15. BIDDER STATUS

provisions of the Resident Bidder/Non-Resident Bidder requirement. --

quality that Excavation for the full thickness of modified subbase (see typical section
details in plans) is not necessary. The decision to use Subgrade Preparation shall be
_ made in the field by the Engineer.
SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONTRACT 944 Page 7 of 33
Subgrade preparation is considered separately for payment and shall be paid for
at the rate of$1.00/SY
8. LOAD TEST
This specification shall supersede SPECIFICATIONS FOR EARTHWORK X. LOAD
TEST in the City of Waterloo Standard Specifications.
The excavated subgrade shall be subjected to a wheel load test before placement of
drain tile, modified subbase material, setting of forms or any operation that would
prevent the test from being performed.
Equipment used for the wheel load test shall be furnished by the Contractor and will be
of similar size, loaded weight and load distribution as used to bring in granular material
or paving material, whichever is heavier. The expense of such load testing shall be
the Contractor's expense.
The Engineer may require test sections of varying thickness of modified subbase
aggregate or select material be tested before determining the actual depth of subgrade
repair required. If the test section fails and additional excavation is required, the
removal of the modified subbase aggregate or select material shall be paid for in cubic
yards of subgrade repair. The modified subbase aggregate or select material shall be
salvaged and reused.
When the unstable subgrade has been repaired and shaped to final cross-section and
elevation, another wheel load test shall be run. Visual checks will then be made and
any additional repairs shall be made by the Contractor, as directed by the Engineer.
If rainfall occurs on the subgrade after the load test has been performed, additional
load tests shall be performed, at the direction of the Engineer.
Whenever possible, transverse saw cuts in PCC paving will be made where repaired subgrade meets natural subgrade. The excavation for subgrade repair shall be
tapered at the ends of the excavation so there is not an abrupt change in depth from
repaired areas to natural subgrade. In areas where drain tile is used and the subgrade
repair does not extend to the drain tile envelope, a lateral connection shall be made
from the subgrade repair to the main drain tile. This drain tile connection shall be paid
for at the bid unit price for drain tile construction.

SECTION B - SCOPE OF WORK
1. CORRELATION AND INTENT OF DOCUMENTS. The Contract

binding as if called for by all. The intention of the documents is to include all
labor, materials, equipment, and transportation necessary for the proper
execution of the work. Materials or work described in words which, so applied,
have a well-known technical or trade meaning shall be held to refer to such
recognized standard.

agreed that the Contractor has, by careful examination, satisfied himself as to the
nature, character and location of the work, the conformance to the ground, the
character, quality, and quantity of the materials to be encountered, the character
of the equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the prosecution
of the work, the general and local conditions, and all other matters which can, in
any way, affect the work under this contract. No verbal agreement or
conversation with any officer, agent, or employee of the City, either before or
after the execution of the Contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or

GENERAL SPECS Page 3 of 18
Engineer immediately, in writing, and the Engineer shall promptly correct the
same.
5. ALTERATION OR CORRECTION OF PLANS. The plans are
made up from surveys that are presumably correct and represent the foreseen
construction requirements. Any modification of the plans which may be required
by the exigencies of the construction or any corrections made necessary
because of errors in the original surveys, will be made by the Engineer. Should
corrections or modifications of the plans or specifications require a different
quality or class of work than that upon which the unit prices in the Proposal are
based, or if the modifications or corrections are required in parts of the work
partially completed and such modifications result in an increased cost to the
Contractor, the amount to be paid for work resulting from such changes shall be
agreed upon in writing at the time the changes are ordered and before the work
is begun by the Contractor. No allowance will be made for anticipated profits on
work not performed.
6. CHANGES IN THE WORK. The City, without invalidating the
contract, may order extra work or make changes by altering, adding to, or
deducting from the work, the contract sum being adjusted by agreement or
arbitration before such changed work is undertaken. All such work shall be
executed under the conditions of the original contract, except that any claim for
extension of time caused thereby shall be adjusted at the time of ordering such
change.
7. INCREASED OR DECREASED QUANTITIES. The right is
reserved without impairing the contract, to order the performance of such work of
a class not contemplated in the Proposal or to increase or decrease the
quantities as may be considered necessary to complete fully and satisfactorily
the work included in the contract. However, when the work is completed without
change in the plans, and the measured quantity of any item of work varies by
more than twenty percent (20%) from the estimated quantity specified in the
contract, an adjustment in price may be made for such item of work by
agreement between the Engineer and the Contractor, subject to the approval of
the City Council. Either party to the contract may request such an adjustment.
8. LANDS AND RIGHT OF WAY. The City shall provide the lands
upon which the work under this contract is to be done, except that the Contractor
shall provide land required for the erection of temporary construction facilities
and storage of his material, together with the right of access to same.

close at any time and may refuse to permit the closing of additional streets until
such of the work is finished and opened to traffic as he may direct.
12. OBSTRUCTION OF STREETS. The work is to be carried on in
such manner as to obstruct the streets, highways, and alleys as little as possible.
The Contractor shall carry on the different parts of the work so as to complete the
whole, as nearly as practicable, at the same time. In doing the work, the
Contractor shall follow the directions of the Engineer as to the place or places
where work shall be started or be carried on and the direction in which it shall be
done.
13. SHANTIES AND BUILDINGS. Shanties or other buildings shall not
be erected in or upon any street, highway, or alley without permission of the
Engineer. If such permission be granted, it may be upon any reasonable terms
prescribed by the person or body granting such permission.
14. SANITARY CONVENIENCES. The Contractor shall furnish the
necessary sanitary conveniences, properly secluded, for the laborers on the
work, and these shall be maintained in a manner that will be inoffensive to the
public.
15. CLEANING UP. The Contractor shall, as directed by the Engineer,
remove from the City's property and from all public and private property, at his
own expense, all temporary structures, rubbish, and waste materials resulting
from his operations before work can be considered completed. The Contractor

workmanship, and the diligent prosecution of the work. —
The Engineer and his representatives shall, at all times, have access to
the work wherever it is in preparation of progress, and the Contractor shall —
provide proper facilities for such access and for inspection.
If the specifications, the Engineer's instructions, law ordinances, or any
public authority require any work and/or materials to be especially tested or
approved, the Contractor shall give the Engineer timely notice of readiness for
inspection. If the inspection is to be made by authority other than the Engineer, —
the Contractor shall notify the engineer of the date fixed for inspection.
Inspections by the Engineer will be promptly made and, where practicable, at the
source of supply. If any work should be covered up without the approval or —
consent of the Engineer, it must, if required by the Engineer, be uncovered for
examination at the Contractor's expense.
Re-examination of questioned work may be ordered by the Engineer, and,
if so ordered, the work must be uncovered by the Contractor. If such work be —
found in accordance with the Contract, the City shall pay the cost of re-
examination and replacement. If such work be found not in accordance with the
Contract, the Contractor shall pay such cost unless he shall show that the defect
in the work was caused by another Contractor, and, in that event, the City shall
pay the cost.
2. AUTHORITIES AND DUTIES OF INSPECTORS. Inspectors may
be stationed on the work to report to the Engineer as to the progress of the work
and the manner in which it is being performed; also, to report whenever it _.
appears that materials furnished and work performed by the Contractor fail to
fulfill the requirements of the specifications and Contract, and to direct the
attention of the Contractor to such failure or infringement; but such inspection —
shall not relieve the Contractor from any obligations to furnish acceptable
materials or to provide completed construction that is satisfactory in every
particular.
In case of any dispute arising between the Inspector and the Contractor as
to materials furnished or the manner of performing the work, the Inspector shall have the authority to reject materials or suspend the work until the question at
issue can be referred to and decided by the Engineer. Inspectors are not
authorized to revoke, alter, enlarge, relax, or release any requirements of these —
specifications. The Inspector shall, in no case, act as foreman or perform other
duties for the Contractor, or interfere with the management of the work by the
latter. —

portion of the work as, in his judgment, is required, and to order the force
increased or diminished, and to decide questions which arise in the execution of
the work.
4. ENGINEER'S DECISIONS. The Engineer shall, within a
reasonable time, make decisions on all claims of the Contractor and on all other
matters relating to the execution and progress of the work or the interpretation of
the contract documents.

of time and financial consideration involved, which, if no agreement in regard
thereto is reached, shall be subject to arbitration.
5. STAKES AND INSTRUCTIONS. The Contractor shall provide
reasonable and necessary opportunities and facilities for setting stakes and
making measurements. The Contractor shall not furnish stakes or men to set
them. He shall not proceed until he has received from the Engineer such stakes

with the resulting extra expense and shall be responsible for any mistakes that
may be caused, by their loss or disturbance.
6. SUPERINTENDENCE. The Contractor shall keep on his work
during its progress a competent superintendent and any necessary assistants, all
satisfactory to the Engineer. The Superintendent shall not be changed except
with the consent of the Engineer, unless the Superintendent proves to be
unsatisfactory to the Contractor and ceases to be in his employ. The

given to him shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor. Important decisions
shall be confirmed in writing to the Contractor. Other directions shall be so
confirmed on written request in each case.

bear the expense of making good all work of other Contractors destroyed or
damaged by such removal or replacement.
If the Contractor does not remove such condemned work and materials
within a reasonable time, fixed by written notice, the City may remove them and
may store the material at the expense of the Contractor. If the Contractor does
not pay the expense of such removal within a reasonable time thereafter, the City
may, upon ten (10) days' written notice, sell such materials at auction or at
private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting all the

both such action and the amount charged to the Contractor.
SECTION D - PROCEDURE AND PROGRESS
1. ORDER OF COMPLETION - USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS.
The Contractor shall complete any portion or portions of the work in such order or
time as the Engineer may require. The City shall have the right to take
possession of an use completed or partially completed portion of the work at any
time, but such taking possession and use shall not be deemed an acceptance of
work so taken or used, or any part thereof. If such prior use increases the cost of
or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled to such extra compensation or
extension of time, or both, as the Engineer may determine.
2. WEATHER. During stormy or inclement weather, all work shall be
suspended, except such as can be done in an acceptable manner. Permission

unavoidable casualties, or any cause beyond the Contractor's control; or by
delay authorized by the Engineer pending arbitration; or by any cause which the

are not being complied with. Such notice shall state what action on the part of
the Contractor is required to bring the work within the requirements of the —
specifications. If the Contractor fails, within ten (10) days, to proceed as directed
in the said notice, then the Council shall have authority to annul this contract
without process or action at law and take over the prosecution and completion of —
the work, as provided under the article covering City's right to terminate contract.
GENERAL SPECS Page 10 of 18

in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply enough skilled
workmen or proper materials; or if he should fail to make prompt payment to
Subcontractors or for materials or labor; or if he should persistently disregard
laws, ordinances, or the instructions of the Engineer; or if he should otherwise be

administration services, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such
expense shall exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the
difference to the City. The expense incurred by the City as herein provided and
the damage incurred through the Contractor's default shall be certified by the

Payment shall be made in the manner set forth in official publications and
Council Proceedings relative thereto.
3. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK. Such extra work as may have
been ordered by the Engineer and performed by the Contractor shall be

reasonable cost of the labor and materials entering permanently in such work,
plus fifteen percent (15%) of the cost thereof. In computing the labor cost on such extra work, the following items shall be included:
(a) Actual payroll expenditures for labor at the current rate therefor,
and cost of materials.
(b) Pay of foreman and timekeepers for actual time required on the
extra work.
(c) Liability insurance, prorated, for the extra work.
Labor cost items on extra work shall be furnished in duplicate by the

finds them to be correct, he shall so certify on the statement of cost, returning
one copy to the Contractor and filing one copy with the Engineer.
The Engineer shall determine the cost of materials entering into extra work
from the materials and receipted freight bills for the same. —
For any special machine, power tools, or equipment, including fuel and
lubricants, but not including small hand tools, which may be deemed necessary

overhead expenses of any character. The fifteen percent (15%) allowed is
considered to cover the use of hand tools and all overhead expenses except
liability insurance.
In no case will a claim for extra compensation be allowed unless the work
upon which the claim is based has been ordered in writing, except as provided
hereinafter.

instructions, by drawings or otherwise, involved extra cost under this contract, he —
shall give the Engineer written notice thereof within ten (10) days after
completion of the work.

provided, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, of his intention to
make claim for extra compensation for work and/or material before starting
construction. If such written notification is not given or the Engineer is not
afforded proper facilities by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual
cost as defined herein, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive the claim for
extra compensation. Such notice to the engineer and the fact that the Engineer
has kept account of cost as aforesaid, shall not in any way be construed as
proving the validity of the claim, which must be passed upon by the Council. In
the event that the Council finds the claim to be just, it shall be allowed and paid
for as extra work as provided herein.
6. COMPLETION REPORT AND OBJECTIONS THERETO. Within
ten (10) days after the full completion of the work to be done under this contract,

with his own records and shall then, in writing, either approve such statement or
point out any claimed errors or omissions. If any of such claims are found
correct, the Engineer shall, within ten (10) days, prepare a new statement, a copy
of which shall in like manner be delivered unto the Contractor. The Engineer will
not file a formal completion report with the City until the Contractor has approved
the same.
If the figures of the Engineer and the Contractor cannot be reconciled, or
there is a difference of opinion regarding some item or items, then such
difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration as hereinafter provided, and
the decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, and the Engineer shall,
within a period of five (5) days, file his completion report.
