Regarding: Butte County Juvenile Hall Addition
Contract Closeout Meeting
Gentlemen:
Di Duca Construction, Inc. has made several attempts to resolve the
outstanding issues associated with the completion of the above
referenced project. it is apparent that the issues will not go away
by themselves, and that, ' i f any resolution is to be achieved, we
will have to meet with those people capable of making decisions and
commitments on behalf of all parties.
Di Duca construction, Inc. is requesting a meeting for the
afternoon of May 26, 1994 (Thursday) in a final effort to resolve
'the outstanding issues pro -actively. We believe that it is
important to discuss the pending legal issues with those
individuals most capable of determining a course of action. To that
end, Di Duca Construction, Inc. has invited its attorney, John
Schwarz, Christensen and Schwarz, to attend and requests that Butte
County do likewise with its legal counsel.
Diana Walker will be in touch with everyone to coordinate a meeting
place and time.
''hank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Dear Ben,
As per your request on 5/27/94, 1 am enclosing the most up to date information I
have as pertains to the Butte Juvenile Hall Addition.
As I mentioned to your assistant, Diana Walker, I was recently able to gather a
group of experts in the fields of floor coverings, and masonry treatments. On May
19, 1 met with Jerry Jeffers of the local Kelly Moore Company, his superior from the
home office, Rod O'Neal, Jim Patmont, District Manager for the Rust-Oleum
Company, and Charlie Moon, of FSC Inc., and company which specializes in
Masonry coatings.
In my attempts to seek out a viable solution to the persistent high moisture problem
with the concrete floor, l was able to get little optimism from Mr. O'Neal and Mr.
Patmont. The only path they deemed feasible, was to leave the body of the floor
unfinished, thus promoting an ongoing release for any moisture, and applying the
half court striping only, thus providing a usable facility for your customer. Mr.
Patmont's letter addressing the situation is enclosed.
With regards to the Masonry Pilasters, I have been promised an evaluation in
writing from Mr. O'Neal / Mr. Moon, sometime next week. I will forward that to your
office as soon as I receive it.
As 1 related to Diana earlier, Mr. Patmont requested that I conduct a current
moisture test on the floor, to ascertain it's present status.
In closing, l wanted to share with you the results of that test, which I conducted on
5/24/94 -- 5/27/94.
The test indicated a transmission level of 5.05 pounds of water. As you indicated
that the last test you had performed measured 4.75 pounds, there has clearly been
a small increase in moisture since the rain we experienced last week. This would
seem to confirm the fears that Mr. Patmont expressed in his evaluation.
If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.

JAMES.S. PATMONT
District .Msvu ger .
After inspection of the above referenced building on Thursday, May
19th; I have concluded that this floor cannot be coated or topped due
to excessive hydrostatic pressure. The source of this excessive
moisture remains undetermined, however there are many possible
explanations; 1) the lack of a functional moisture barrier, 2) vertical
moisture transmission from the porous block wall, 3) an- unusually
high water table, or 4) "puddling" run-off from down spouts on. the
north and east sides of the building. Even though periodic moisture
tests reflect a decreasing volume, it remains .far too high an
acceptable level for the application of any Rust-Oleum products, (and
almost every floor coating product that I am familiar with). In fact, I
would not be surprised to see the moisture levels increase next fall
and winter rain season. It is not possible that these existing volumes
of moisture are a result of a standard acid wash floor preparation.
My only recommendation at this point is to leave the floor uncoated.
However, you may be able to stripe the floor with lines and not
experience a failure. This would result in leaving most of the surface
uncoated, allowing moisture to escape through the majority of
uncoated areas, and not allowing enough pressure to build up under
the coated lines. I have seen this work in the past with good results,
however it is not something I can guarantee. This may be a viable
option in this case, as another total application of floor coating will
only result in another failure.

Contractor of responsibility for any deviation from the requirements of the
Contract Documents unless the Contractor has informed the Architect in writ-
ing of such deviation at the time of submission, and the Architect has given
written approval to the specific deviation, nor shall the Architect's review
relieve the Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop
Drawings or Samples.

work wherever it is in preparation or progress, and the Contractor shall
provide proper facilities for such access, and so that the Architect may per-

ARTICLE 15: CHANCES IN THE WORK
The Owner, 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 accordingly. All such work shall be executed under the condi-
tions on the original Contract, except that any claim for extension of time
caused thereby shall be adjusted at the time or ordering such change.
In giving Instructions, the Architect shall have authority to make minor
changes in the work, not involving extra cost, and not inconsistent with the
purpose of the building, but otherwise, except in an emergency endangering
life or property, no extra work or change shall be made unless in pursuance
of a written order from the Owner, signed or countersigned by the Architect,
or a written order from the Architect stating that the Owner has authorized
the extra work or change, and no claim for an addition to the Contract Sum
shall be valid unless so ordered.
The value of any such extra work or change shall be determined in one or
more of the following ways:
(a) by estimate and acceptance in lump sum;
(b) by unit process named in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed
upon; and
(c) by cost and percentage or by cost and a fixed fee.
If none of the above methods is agreed upon, the Contractor, provided -he
receives an order as above, shall proceed with the work.
In such case, and under case (c), he shall keep and prevent in such form as
the Architect may direct, a correct amount of the cost, together with vouch-
ers. In any case, the Architect shall certify to the amount, including reason-
able allowance for overhead and profit, due to the Contractor. Pending final
determination of value, payment on account of changes shall be made on the
Architect's certificate.

with the conditions indicated on the drawings and specifications, the Contract
Sum 'shall be equitably adjusted upon claim by either party made within a
reasonable time after the first observance of the conditions.
ARTICLE 16: CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COST

the work, or by strikes, lockouts, fire, unusual delay in transportation,
unavoidable casualties or any causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by
delay authorized by the Architect, or by any cause which the Architect shall
decide to justify the delay, then the time of completion shall be extended for
such reasonable time as the Architect may decide.
No such extension shall be made for delay occurring more than seven days
before claim therefor is made in writing to the Architect. In the case of a
continuing cause of delay, only one claim is necessary.
If no schedule or agreement stating the dates upon which drawings shall be
furnished is made, then no claim for delay shall be allowed on account of
failure to furnish drawings until two weeks after demand for such drawings
and not then unless such claim be reasonable.
This article does not include the recovery of damages for delay by either
party under other provisions in the Contract Documents.
ARTICLE 10: CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT

damaged by such removal or replacement.
If the Contractor does not remove such condemned work within a reasonable
time, fixed by final notice, the Owner may remove it and may store the mate-
rial at the expense of the Contractor. If the Contractor does not pay the
expenses of such removal within ten days' time thereafter, the Owner may,
upon ten days2 written notice, sell such materials at auction or at a private

payment then or thereafter due the Contractor; provided, however, that the
Architect shall approve both such action and the amount charged to the Con-
tractor.
ARTICLE 22: OWNER'S .RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT
If the Contractor should be adjudged or bankrupt, or if he should make a
general assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver should be
appointed on account of his insolvency, or if he should persistently or repeat-
edly refuse or should fail, except in cases for which extension of time is
provided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or proper materials, or
if he should fail to make prompt payment to subcontractors or for material or
labor, or persistently disregard laws, ordinances or the instructions of the
Architect, or otherwise be guilty of a substantial violation of any provision of
the Contract, then the Owner, upon the certificate of the Architect that
sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may without prejudice to any
other right to remedy and after giving the Contractor, and his surety, if any,
seven days' written. notice, terminate the employment of the Contractor, and
take possession of the premises and all materials, tools and appliances thereon
and finish the work by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such
case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until
the work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract price shall exceed
the expense of finishing the work including compensation for additional archi-
tectural, managerial and administrative services, such excess shall be paid to
the Contractor. If such expense shall exceed such unpaid balance, the Con-
tractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The expense incurred by the
Owner as herein provided, and the damage incurred through the Contractor's
default, shall be certified by the Architect.

written notice to the Owner and Architect, terminate this Contract and recover
from the Owner payment for all work executed and any proven loss sustained
upon any plant or materials and reasonably profit and damages.

fault of the Contractor, within seven days after the Contractor's formal re-
quest for payment, or if the Owner should fail to pay the Contractor within
seven days of its maturity and presentation, any sum certified by the
ARTICLE 24: APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT
At least ten days before each payment falls due, the Contractor shall submit to
the Architect an itemized application for payment, supported to the extent
required by the Architect by receipts or other vouchers, showing payments
for materials and labor, payments to subcontractors and such other evidence of
the Contractor's right to payment as the Architect may direct.
If payments are made on valuation of work done, the Contractor shall, before
the first application, submit to the Architect, a schedule of values of the
various parts of the work, including quantities, aggregating the total sum of
the Contract, divided so as to facilitate payments to subcontractors in accor-
dance with Article 30(e), made out in such form as the Architect and the
Contractor may agree upon and, if required, supported by such evidence as to
its correctness as the Architect may direct. This schedule, when approved by
the Architect, shall be used as a basis for Certificates for Payment, unless it
be found to be in error. In applying for payments, the Contractor shall
submit a statement based upon this schedule.
If payments are made on account of materials not incorporated in the work but
delivered and suitably stored at the site, or at some other location agreed
upon in writing, such payments shall be conditioned upon submission by the
Contractor of bills of sale or such other procedure as will establish the
Owner's title to such material or otherwise adequately protect the Owner's
interest, including applicable insurance.

If the Contractor has made application for payment as above, the Architect
shall, not later than the date when each payment falls due, issue a Certificate
for Payment to the Contractor for such amount as he decides to be properly
due, or state in writing his reasons for withholding a certificate.
No certificate issued nor payment made to the Contractor, nor partial or entire
use or occupancy of the work by the Owner, shall be an acceptance of any
work or materials not in accordance with this Contract. The making and
acceptance of the final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the
Owner, other than those arising from unsettled liens, from faulty work appear-
ing after final payment, or from failure to comply with drawings and specifica-
tions and the terms of any special guarantees specified in the Contract and of
all claims by the Contractor, except those previously made and still unsettled.
Should the Owner fail to pay the sum named in any Certificate for Payment
Issued by the Architect, upon demand when due, the Contractor shall receive
in addition to the sum named in the certificate, interest thereon at the legal
rate in force at the place of building.
PAGE 9 OF 18 PW7/83 PAGE 10 OF 18 PW7/83
ARTICLE 26: PAYMENTS WITHHELD
The Architect may withhold, or, on account of subsequently discovered evi-
dence, nullify the whole or a part of any certificate to such extent as may be
necessary in his reasonably opinion to protect the Owner from loss on account
of:
(a) defective work not remedied,
(b) claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probably filing of claims;
(c) ' failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to subcontractors or
for materials or labor;
(d) a reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed for the balance
then unpaid, and
(e) damage to another Contractor.
When the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
withheld because of them.
ARTICLE 27: CONTRACTOR'S INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
(a) The Contractor will not commence any work until he obtains, at his own
expense, all required insurance. Such insurance must have the approval

actual policies, accept certificates issued by the insurance carrier showing
such policies in force for the specified period. Each policy or certificate

duction in coverage without thirty days' written notice to be delivered by
registered mail to the Owner.

into, the Contractor will submit written evidence that he and all his
subcontractors have obtained, for the period of the Contract, full Work-
men's Compensation Insurance coverage for all persons whom they employ
or may employ in carrying out the work under this Contract. This
PAGE 11 OF 18 PW7/83
insurance will be instrict accordance with the requirement of the laws of
the State of California.
(c) Before commencement of the work, the Contractor shall submit written
evidence that he and all of his subcontractors have obtained for the
period of the Contract full Comprehensive General Liability Insurance
coverage. This coverage will provide for both bodily injury and property
damage. The bodily injury portion will include coverage for injury, sick-
ness or disease, and death, arising directly or indirectly out of, or in
connection with the performance of the work under this Contract, and will
provide for a limit of not less than $500,000.00 for all damages arising out
of bodily injury, sickness or disease to or death of one person, and a
total limit of $1,000,000.00 for damages arising out of bodily injury, sick-
ness or disease and death of two or more ,persons in any one occurrence.

$100,000.00 for all damages arising out of injury to or destruction of
property of others arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection
with the performance of work under this Contract, and in any one occur-
rence including explosion, collapse and underground exposure.
Included in such insurance will be a provision providing coverage for all
liabilities contractually assumed by Contractor unless this Agreement, and
such insurance shall specifically name Owner and Architect, and each of
their officers, employees and agents, and any other persons with an
insurable interest designated by the Owner as additional named insured.
(d) Before commencement of the work, the Contractor will submit written
evidence that he has obtained for the period of the Contract Fire Insur-
ance coverage containing a completed value builder's risk endorsement,
extended coverage endorsement, earthquake endorsement (otherwise
referred to as "Builder's Risk "All Risk" Insurance) upon the entire
Project which Is the subject of this Contract and including completed work
and work in progress. Such insurance shall include as additional named
insured: The Owner, the Architect, and each of their officers, em-
ployees and agents, and any other persons with an insurable interest
designated by the Owner as an additional named insured.
ARTICLE 28: OWNER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE
The Owner may, at his option, obtain at his expense, such insurance as he
desires for his own protection. The obtaining of any such insurance (even
though duplicating other insurance required of Contractor or subcontractors
hereunder), shall not relieve Contractor or any subcontractor of its duty to
obtain the insurance herein required.
ARTICLE 29: GUARANTY PONDS
The Contractor shall furnish bonds covering the faithful performance of the
contract and labor and materials, and the payment of all obligations arising
thereunder in such form as the Owner may prescribe, and with such sureties

ARTICLE 30: DAMAGES
Should either party of this Contract suffer damages because of any wrongful
act or neglect of the other party or of anyone employed by him, claim shall be
made in writing to the party liable within a reasonable time of the first obser-
vance of such damage and not later than the final payment, except as express-
ly stipulated otherwise in case of faulty work or materials, and shall be ad-
justed by agreement. This paragraph shall be subordinate to the insurance
and indemnity provisions of this Contract to the extent that they may be in
conflict therewith.
RTICLE 31: LIEN
Neither the final payment nor any part of the retained percentage shall become
due until the Contractor, if required, shall deliver to the Owner a complete
release of all liens arising out of this Contract, or receipts in full in lieu
thereof, and if required in either case, as affidavit that as far as he has
knowledge or information, the releases and receipts include all the labor and
material for which a lien could be filed; but the Contractor may, if any sub-
contractor refuses to furnish a release or receipt in full, furnish a bond
satisfactory to the Owner, to indemnify him against any lien. If any lien

the Owner all moneys that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging
such a lien, including all costs and a reasonable attorney's fee.
ARTICLE 32: ASSIGNMENT.

moneys due or to become due to him hereunder, without the previous written
consent of the Owner.
ARTICLE 33: MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTORS
Should the Contractor cause damage to any separate contractor on the work,
the Contractor agrees, upon due notice, to settle with such contractor by
agreement, if he will so settle. If such separate contractor sues the Owner on
account of any damage alleged to have been sustained, 'the Owner shall notify
the Contractor, who shall defend such proceedings at the Owner's expense,
and if any judgment against the Owner arises therefrom, the Contractor shall
pay or satisfy it and pay all costs incurred by the Owner.
ARTICLE 34: SEPARATE CONTRACTS

work under similar General Conditions. The Contractor shall afford other
contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their
materials and the execution of their work, and shall properly connect and
coordinate his work with others.
If any part of the Contractor's work depends for proper execution or results
upon the work of any other contractor, the Contractor shall inspect and
promptly report to the Architect any defects in such work that render it
unsuitable for such proper execution and results. His failure to so inspect
and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other contractor's work as fit
and proper for the reception of his work, except as to defects which may
develop in the other contractor's work after execution of his work.
To insure proper execution of his subsequent work, the Contractor shall
measure work already in place and shall at once report to the Architect any
discrepancy between the executed work and the drawings.
ARTICLE 35: SUBCONTRACTS
As soon as practicable and before awarding any subcontracts, the Contractor
shall notify the Architect in writing of the names of the subcontractors pro-
posed for the principle parts of the work, and for such other parts as the
Architect may direct, and shall not employ any to whom the Architect may
have a reasonable objection.
If before or after the execution of the Contract, the Contractor has submitted
a list of subcontractors which has been approved by the Architect, and the
change of any subcontractor on such list is required by the Owner after such
approval, the Contract price shall be increased by the difference in cost
occasioned by such change.
The Contractor shall not be required to employ any subcontractor against
whom he has a reasonable objection.
The Architect shall, on request, furnish to any subcontractor, wherever
practicable, evidence of the amounts certified on his account.
The Contractor agrees that he is as fully responsible to the Owner for the
acts and omissions of his subcontractors and of persons either directly or
indirectly employed by them, as lie is for the acts and omissions of persons
directly employed by him.
Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractural
relation between any subcontractor and the Owner.

all work affecting same. Active utilities shown on the drawings
2A-1
1
shall be adequately protected from damage, and removed or re-
located only as indicated or specified. Inactive or abandoned
utilities encountered in excavating and grading operations shall
be removed, plugged or capped. In absence of specific re-
quirements, plug or cap such utility lines at least 3 feet outside
of new building walls or as required by the Local Regulations.
(See Mechanical and Electrical Specifications.)
2) Elevations: Elevations or depths indicated on the drawings
sHa Fe used in computing the quantities or excavation and fill.
Should the Structural Engineer order extra excavation, the
Contractor shall perform such extra work, and the Owner shall
pay for same in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.
3) Footings: Excavation for footings shall have extra width on
each de of pad to allow for placing and removal of forms and
minimize the results of the sloughing of earth into the exca-
vations. Sides of all footings shall be formed, unless earth will
stand without caving, and Structural Engineer gives approval
for unformed footings. Bottom of excavations shall be level,
cut square at bottoms and corners, free from loose material,
and brought to the indicated or required levels in undisturbed
earth.
4) All excavation shall be kept free from standing water. The
Contractor shall do all pumping or draining that may be neces-
sary to carry on the work.
5) Should excavations for footings, through error,. be to z greater
depth than indicated or required, such additional depth shall be
cut square and level and be filled with concrete at the Contrac-
tor's expense.
6) Walls, Grade Beams, etc.: Excavations shall be of. sufficient
width to permit construction and removal of. forms, placing of
concrete, any damp -proofing as shown or specified and any
shoring or cribbing that may be necessary to prevent caving.
Remove all such shoring or cribbing before backfilling.
7) General: Maintain excavations in good order, adequately pro-
tected by barriers, lights, shoring and bracing. Shoring and
bracing shall.be designed for vehicle surcharge, where applica-
ble.
d. Backfilling
1) After concrete piers, footings and walls have been stripped and
their condition approved, the spaces between the banks and the
concrete shall be bac filled with debris -free earth. Backfill
shall be placed in 6" layers sloping down away from walls and
footings, each course to be moistened and tamped. Footing
excavations shall be thoroughly cleaned out before backfilling.
DO NOT PUDDLE FILL. Use only enough moisture to secure
maximum compaction.

2) Earth: Used for backfill shall be free from debris, large clods
or stones shall be deposited in layers, moistened with water and
compacted by suitable means as specified hereinafter. In
general, soils on the site, with the exception of the top soil
containing roots and vegetation (the top three to six inches)
may be used for backfill. Any soil containing roots and vege-
tation shall be stripped and disposed of off the site. Any
unsatisfactory material which may be encountered in localized
areas shall not be used as backfill, but shall be disposed of off
the site.
3) Fill containing large rocks, blocks of concrete and masonry
materials or other debris shall not be used for backfilling.
4) Shoring: All walls with backfill on one side only shall be
adequately shored during backfilling operation or structural
slabs opposite backfill must be in place at least seven days
before beginning the backfill operation.
e. Construction of Fills: Ultimate grades shall be to lines and levels
shown on the plan.
1) Fill Under Slabs: Fill for the subgrade under concrete slabs
shall be clean selected material which will have minimum volume
change due to moisture content and shall have the proper
moisture content for optimum compaction. Fill material shall be
free of all vegetation, roots, grass, sticks and other deleterious
foreign matter and shall be approved by the Architect before
placing.
2) All areas to receive slabs shall be leveled and all loose soil
thoroughly compacted by rolling or tamping. If fill 'is required,
the surface shall then be wet down and the fill deposited in six
inch layers, each layer water dampened and rolled until the
surface has received the maximum compression and ceases to
creep. Before succeeding layers are applied, the under -layers
shall be scarified for bond and then dampened.
3) All compaction shall be done with rolling equipment of type and
weight to give required compaction. Areas which are inacces-
sible to rolling equipment shall be pneumatically tamped.
Tamping shall show a degree of compaction comparable with that
of rolling equipment. All walls liable to be disturbed by rolling
or tamping shall be shored.
4) Compaction of earth fill under interior slabs shall be 95% of the
ASTM D1557 -70 maximum dry density, 90% elsewhere on site.
5) A 6" thick mat, consisting of graded rock with loo split faces,
free from vegetation or debris, uniformly graded from q" to 1"
approved by the Architect, sliall be placed under all interior
concrete slabs; minimum sand shall be compacted in place and
thoroughly wetted before placing concrete.
6) Earth Fill: (Other than under slabs) Some as for fill under
slabs, except as follows: Shall be placed and compacted to
2A-3
6.
7.
elevations shown on drawings. Blade area and scarify area for
proper bond of fill. Fill shall be placed in even layers, 6"
maximum layers, with each layer thoroughly compacted. Scarify
fill areas to a 611 depth and then roll with heavy power rollers
until surface is hard and smooth.
f. Finish Grading:
1) After completion of the structure, the site shall be finish
graded. Finish grading shall consist of harrowing, scraping,
and rolling the ground. Rocks over two inches in size shall be
removed from the surface, and clods broken up. The finish
grades shall be to the grades established on the drawings which
may be slightly modified at their intersections and eased to
existing grades. Finish grading shall be properly pitched to
prevent accumulation of water within the area. Tie in new and
existing finish grades. Regrade existing areas that have been
disturbed by construction activities.
2) Sub -grade elevations shall conform to all lines and grades
indicated on the drawings and shall comply with California State
Standard, Sections, 19-1.03, 19-5.02 or 19-6.02.
