manufacturer and its catalog information. The use of any substitute material, project or
equipment which is equal in quality and utility and possesses the required characteristics for the
purpose intended will be permitted, subject to the following requirements:
1. The burden of proof as to the quality and utility of any such substitute material, project,
or equipment shall be upon the Contractor.
2. The Engineer will be the sole judge as to the quality and utility of any such substitute

product, or equipment is indicated therefor, such information is given for the convenience of the
Contractor only, and no limit, restriction, or direction is indicated or intended thereby, nor is the
accuracy or reliability of such information guaranteed. It shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor to determine the accurate identity and location of any such manufacturer, supplier, or

specified. Unless otherwise provided by law or authorized in writing by the Engineer, the
substantiation or a letter of intent to submit a specific substitute or "or equal" material, product, or
equipment must be submitted in advance of the Contractor's anticipated date of incorporation
into the project to allow for a 5-working-day review by the Engineer. The Contractor shall also
be responsible for submitting materials far enough in advance to anticipate the Engineer's
request for any additional data for review. The 5-working-day review period shall begin once the
Contractor has submitted all materials and data requested by the Engineer. The Contractor
shall provide the data required by the Engineer to determine that the quality, strength, physical,
chemical, or other characteristics, including durability, finish, efficiency, dimensions, service,
and suitability are such that the substitute or "or equal" item will fulfill its intended function.
The Contractor's attention is further directed to the requirement that its failure to submit data
19
substantiating a request or letter of intent for a substitution of an "or equal" item within said time
period shall be deemed to mean that the Contractor intends to furnish one of the specific
brand-or-trade-named material, product, or equipment specified in the Contract Documents and
the Contractor does hereby waive all rights to offer or use substitute materials, products, or
equipment in each such case. Wherever a proposed substitute material, product, or equipment
or a letter of intent to supply substitute material, product, or equipment has not been submitted
within said time period, or wherever the submission of a proposed substitute material, product, or
equipment fails to meet the requirements of the Specifications and an acceptable re submittal is
not received by the Engineer, the Contractor shall submit the materials, products, or equipment
originally named in the Contract Documents for approval. Approval by the Engineer of a
substitute item proposed by the Contractor shall not relieve Contractor of the responsibility for
full compliance with the Contract Documents and for adequacy of the substituted item. The
Contractor shall also be responsible for resultant changes and all additional costs which the
substitution requires in its work the work of its Subcontractors and shall effect such changes
without cost to the City.

1. Fabricated of flexible material that produces a uniform texture in the finished surface
2. Cleaned daily and changed if longitudinal scouring occurs in the micro-surfacing
Do not use flexible drags attached to the rear of the spreader box.
PLACING - If truck-mounted mixer-spreaders are used, keep at least 2 operational spreaders at
the job site during placement. In areas inaccessible to spreading equipment, spread the slurry
seal or micro-surfacing mixture with hand tools. If placing with hand tools, first lightly dampen the
area. Do not handle or shift the mixture.
SURFACE PREPARATION - Before the Contractor places slurry seal or micro-surfacing, clean
the pavement surface.
Remove loose particles of extraneous materials, including paving and dirt. Use any
nondestructive method, such as sweeping.
The contractor may fog the roadway surface with water ahead of the spreader box. The fog
spray must be adjusted for pavement:
1. Temperature
2. Surface texture
3. Dryness

which may prevent any subcontractor or material person from bidding to any general
contractor who does not use the facilities of or accept bids from or through such bid
depository.
7. Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison
purposes will be the total of all items. The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of
work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item,
all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the
case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the
product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item. In case of discrepancy
between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall
prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is
omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the
amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be
divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be
the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated
quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or
one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by
using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates
percentage wise the unit price or item total in the CITY OF SCOTTS VALLEY's
Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are
omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item
is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless
the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical
significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices,
item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if
applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing
any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or
decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit
price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items
total shall prevail.
