representation that the Work has progressed to the level for which payment is requested in
accordance with the Schedule of Values, that the Work has been properly installed or
performed in full accordance with this Contract, and that the Contractor knows of no reason
why payment should not be made as requested. Thereafter, the City's Representative will
review the Payment Request and may also review the Work at the Project site or elsewhere
to determine whether the quantity and quality of the Work is as represented in the Payment
Request and is as required by this Contract. The City, in its sole discretion, may review the
Work and the Payment Request prior to any certification by the City's Representative and
the City may, in its sole discretion, require the City's Representative and the Contractor to
meet and confer with the City with respect to said Payment Request prior to any certification
of same. The City's Representative shall determine and certify to the City the amount
properly owing to the Contractor. The City shall make partial payments on account of the

Representative less such amounts, if any, otherwise owing by the Contractor to the City or
which the City shall have the right to withhold as authorized by this Contract. The City's
Representative's certification of the Contractor's Payment Request shall not preclude the
City from the exercise of any of its rights as set forth in Paragraph 5.3 herein below.

to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's Work, the amount to which such
Subcontractor is entitled. Submission of lien releases from subcontractors is a prerequisite
for release of payment to Contractor per Paragraph 5.2.3.
5.2.6 No progress payment, nor any use or occupancy of the Project by the City, shall
be interpreted to constitute an acceptance of any Work not in strict accordance with
this Contract.
5.3 Withheld Payment
5.3.1 The City may decline to make payment, may withhold funds, and, if necessary,
may demand the return of some or all of the amounts previously paid to the Contractor,
to protect the City from loss because of:

to be remedied by the Contractor;
(b) claims of third parties against the City or the City's property, unless the surety
provides the City a written consent regarding the payment(s) in question;

and proper fashion. The City may ask the surety for a written consent
regarding the payment(s) in question. However, notwithstanding the
foregoing, and provisions of Section 255.05 (11), Florida Statutes, the parties,
hereby agree that the City may condition its payment to the Contractor on
the production of a release, waiver, or like documentation from a
Subcontractor or others demonstrating that the Subcontractor or others do not
have an outstanding claim for payments due on labor, services or materials
furnished under the Contract. In the event the City requires such
documentation, the provisions of the Local Government Prompt Payment Act

Contract. If the City's Representative is unable to issue its final Certificate for Payment
and is required to repeat its final inspection of the Work, the Contractor shall bear the cost
of such repeat final inspection(s) which cost may be deducted by the City from the

Contractor, or equipment costs in excess of actual equipment rental paid by the Contractor
to a third party. The City shall not be liable to the Contractor for claims of third parties,
including Subcontractors, unless and until liability of the Contractor has been established
therefore in a court of competent jurisdiction.
8.3.5 Claims for Additional Time—If the Contractor is delayed in progressing any
task which at the time of the delay is then critical or which during the delay becomes critical,
as the sole result of any act or neglect to act by the City or someone acting in the City's
behalf, or by changes ordered in the Work, unusual delay in transportation, unusually
adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipatable, fire or any causes beyond the
Contractor's control, then the date for achieving Final Completion of the Work shall be
extended upon the written notice and claim of the Contractor to the City and the City's
Representative for such reasonable time as the City's Representative and the City may
determine. Claims for delay can only be submitted for consideration in the event they have
a direct, documentable impact on the Critical Path of the project as evidenced on the (CPM)
schedule. Concurrent delay events impacting the schedule will only be considered as a single
impact and cannot be extended linearly. Any notice and claim for an extension of time by
the Contractor shall be made not more than three (3) days after the occurrence of the event
or the first appearance of the condition giving rise to the claim and shall set forth in detail
the Contractor's basis for requiring additional time in which to complete the Project. Said
claim shall specifically include, among other things, an adjusted critical path (CPM)
schedule reflecting precisely the delay and its claimed impact upon the Contractor's future
performance. In the event the delay to the Contractor is a continuing one, only one notice
and claim for additional time shall be necessary. If the Contractor fails to make such claim
as required in this Subparagraph, any claim for an extension of time shall be waived.
8.3.5.1 In no event, and under no circumstances, shall the Contract Price be increased
for, nor shall the Contractor claim, recover, or receive payment for, any cost, expense,
damages, or compensation of any kind by reason of any delay to the Project, whether critical
or non-critical, and whether caused in whole or in part by the City. The Contractor shall not
be entitled to any direct, indirect, consequential, impact, or other costs, expenses, or
damages, including but not limited to, costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because
of delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever, whether such
delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable, or
unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable.
It is further agreed that such direct costs do include the Contractor's home office overhead,
loss of efficiency, consequential damages, or equipment costs in excess of actual equipment
rental paid by the Contractor to a third party. The Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy
for delay, hindrance, and disruption shall be an extension of the Contract Time provided a
claim for same is made and is allowable pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 8.3.5
hereinabove.
