All work must adhere to the latest Caltrans Standard Specifications, with the project’s own General Conditions and Specifications taking precedence in case of conflict. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, permits, utilities coordination, and transportation necessary to complete the work. The contract requires strict compliance with Cal-OSHA standards, seismic zone requirements, and environmental regulations from the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District, including submission of a Dust Control Plan and daily water application for dust suppression.
