Extra work, which is deemed emergency or must proceed as not to unduly hinder the progress of the project (Force Account), will be brought to the immediate attention in writing to the City. Contractor's Resident Engineer will track all labor and materials for "force account" work by the construction contractor for resolution and issuance of a change order at the appropriate time CONTRACTOR will copy all parties with the PCO log and discuss PCO status at each weekly construction meeting. PCO's becoming due or overdue will be identified and discussed. Time is of the essence in regards to PCO response. Unless otherwise specified, or if not specified, CONTRACTOR will respond to all PCO's within 7 calendar days. Unresolved or rejected change orders may result in claims. Claims may also result from other causes. The City will be responsible for all claims mitigation and resolution. 10) Resolution of Potential Claims. CONTRACTOR will track and manage all extra work items through the PCO and change order systems. Any disputed work items unable to be processed as a change order will be tracked via CONTRACTOR's potential claims system and every reasonable effort made to resolve the issue. CONTRACTOR will provide complete documentation, a claims response strategy, cost analysis, and recommendation for the City's review. 11) Review of Contractor's Schedule. CONTRACTOR will perform a detailed review of the contractor's baseline CPM schedule to review logic between activities, key activity durations, proper cost loading and verification of the critical path. CONTRACTOR shall confirm that specified construction sequencing and schedule constraints, as well as submittal, procurement, construction, shutdowns and tie-ins, testing and startup, and close-out activities are included for all contract work. CONTRACTOR shall perform detailed reviews of each contractor monthly schedule update to ensure that actual work progress based upon their and our own records is properly incorporated including the impacts of any change order work. CONTRACTOR will copy all parties with current schedule and discuss its status at each weekly construction meeting. Work tasks becoming due or overdue will be identified and discussed 12) Construction Meetings/Liaison. CONTRACTOR's staff will maintain close contact with City engineering inspection operation and maintenance staff, Caltrans, and impacted agencies throughout the course of the project. CONTRACTOR will endeavor to minimize disruptions and impacts to existing facilities. CONTRACTOR will coordinate a weekly site meeting with the City staff, construction contractor, Caltrans, and other agencies as required. Meetings will include reviewing the Contractor's 2-week look ahead schedule, submittals and RFI/DC status, PCO's and change orders, delays and potential claims and construction problem resolution. CONTRACTOR'S field staff will prepare weekly agenda and subsequent meeting minutes. The meeting minutes will track and record each item chronologically and include it until it is resolved. Meeting minutes will be issued within 2 days after each meeting. EXHIBIT A Page 4 of 6 AGRE\EXHIBITA.DOC (Word 6.0)
