use of the Project. Liquidated damages are hereby fixed and agreed upon between the
parties, recognizing the impossibility of precisely ascertaining the amount of damages that
will be sustained by the City as a consequence of such delay, and both parties desiring to obviate
any question of dispute concerning the amount of said damages and the cost and effect of the
failure of Contractor to complete the Work on time.
2.5 The City is authorized to deduct liquidated damages from monies due to Contractor for
Work under this Agreement or as much thereof as the City may, in its sole discretion, deem just

otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Contractor understands that the occurrence

obligation to achieve Final Completion of the Work within the time stipulated in this Agreement, and
shall not entitle the Contractor to an adjustment of the Contract Amount. All parties under the
control or contract with the Contractor shall include, but are not limited to, subcontractors,
materialmen and/or laborers.

City's designated representative of Final Completion prior to March 31, 2017, the City shall pay
to the Contractor the sum of Three Thousand Three Hundred Dollars ($3,300.00) for each
calendar day that Final Completion is certified in advance of the scheduled Final Completion
date of March 31, 2017. If this Final Completion deadline of March 31, 2017, is not strictly met
the early completion bonus shall not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing,this Early Completion

provided, that an adjustment in the Contract Price may be made for changes
which result in an increase or decrease in the quantity of any unit price bid item
of the Work in excess of twenty-five (25) percent. The CONTRACTOR shall
prepare a detail description of work showing quantities, pricing, and economic
and market justifications supporting the increase in price. The OWNER will
either accept or reject the price increase.

increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be determined in one of the
following ways:
1. Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the

11.2 COST OF WORK (BASED ON TIME AND MATERIALS)
A. General: The term "cost of Work" means the sum of all costs necessarily
incurred and paid by the CONTRACTOR for labor, materials, and equipment in
the proper performance of extra Work. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in
writing by the OWNER, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those
prevailing in the locality of the Project. Whenever any extra Work is in progress,
for which the definite price has not been agreed on in advance, the
CONTRACTOR shall each day, report to the ENGINEER OF RECORD the
amount and cost of the labor and material used, and any other expense incurred
in such extra Work on the preceding day, and no claim for compensation for such
extra Work will be allowed unless such report shall have been made.
B. Labor: The cost of labor used in performing extra Work by the CONTRACTOR, a
subcontractor, or other forces will be the sum of the following:
1. The actual wages paid plus any employer payments to, or on behalf of
workers for fringe benefits including health and welfare, pension,
vacation, and similar purposes. The cost of labor may include the wages
paid to foremen when determined by the ENGINEER OF RECORD that
the services of foremen do not constitute a part of the overhead
allowance.
2. All payment imposed by state and federal laws including, but not limited
to, compensation insurance, and social security payments.
00700-24/39 ii B
3. The amount paid for subsistence and travel required by collective
bargaining agreements, or in accordance with the regular practice of the
employer.
4. At the beginning of the extra Work and as later requested by the
ENGINEER OF RECORD, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish the
ENGINEER OF RECORD proof of labor compensation rates being paid.
C. Materials: The cost of materials used in performing extra Work will be the cost to
the purchaser, whether CONTRACTOR or subcontractor, from the supplier
thereof, except as the following are applicable:
1. Trade discounts available to the purchaser shall be credited to the
OWNER notwithstanding the fact that such discounts may not have been
taken by the CONTRACTOR.
2. For materials secured by other than a direct purchase and direct billing to
the purchaser, the cost shall be deemed to be the price paid to the actual
supplier as determined by the ENGINEER OF RECORD. Markup except
for actual costs incurred in the handling of such materials will not be
allowed.
3. Payment for materials from sources owned wholly or in part by the
purchaser shall not exceed the price paid by the purchaser for similar
materials from said sources on extra Work items or the current wholesale
price for such materials delivered to the Work site, whichever price is
lower.
4. If in the opinion of the ENGINEER OF RECORD the cost of material is
excessive, or the CONTRACTOR does not furnish satisfactory evidence
of the cost of such material, then the cost shall be deemed to be the
lowest current wholesale price for the quantity concerned delivered to the
Work site less trade discount. The OWNER reserves the right to furnish
materials for the extra Work and no claim shall be made by the
CONTRACTOR for costs and profit on such materials.
D. Equipment: The CONTRACTOR will be paid for the use of equipment as stated
in the latest edition of the "Compilation of Rental Rates for Construction
Equipment" by Associated Equipment Distributors. Such rental rate will be used
to compute payments for equipment whether the equipment is under the
CONTRACTOR's control through direct ownership, leasing, renting, or another
method of acquisition. The rental rate to be applied for use of each item of
equipment shall be the rate resulting in the least total cost to the OWNER for the
total period of use. The CONTRACTOR may furnish cost data which might assist
the ENGINEER OF RECORD in the establishment of the rental rate.
1. All equipment shall, in the opinion of the ENGINEER OF RECORD, be in
good working condition and suitable for the purpose for which the
equipment is to be used.
I
00700-25/39
2. Before construction equipment is used on the extra Work, the
CONTRACTOR shall plainly stencil or stamp an identifying number
thereon at a conspicuous location, and shall furnish to the ENGINEER OF
RECORD, in duplicate, a description of the equipment and its identifying
number.
3. Unless otherwise specified, manufacturer's ratings and manufacturer
approved modifications shall be used to classify equipment for the
determination of applicable rental rates. Equipment which has no direct
power unit shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating
recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Individual pieces of equipment or tools having a replacement value of
$100 or less, whether or not consumed by use, shall be considered to be
small tools and no payment will be made therefor.
5. Rental time will not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to
breakdowns.
E. Equipment on the Work Site: The rental time to be paid for equipment on the
Work site shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation on the extra
Work being performed and, in addition, shall include the time required to move
the equipment to the location of the extra Work and return it to the original
location or to another location requiring no more time than that required to return
it to its original location; except, that moving time will not be paid if the equipment
is used on other than the extra Work, even though located at the site of the extra
Work. Loading and transporting costs will be allowed, in lieu of moving time,
when the equipment is moved by means other than its own power, except that no
payment will be made for loading and transporting costs when the equipment is
used at the site of the extra Work on other than the extra Work. The following
shall be used in computing the rental time of equipment on the Work site.
1. When hourly rates are listed, any part of an hour less than 30 minutes of
operation shall be considered to be 1/2-hour of operation, and any part of
an hour in excess of 30 minutes will be considered one hour of operation.
2. When daily rates are listed, any part of a day less than 4 hours operation
shall be considered to be 1/2-day of operation. When owner-operated
equipment is used to perform extra Work to be paid for on a time and
materials basis, the CONTRACTOR will be paid for the equipment and
operator, as set forth in Paragraphs (3), (4), and (5), following.
3. Payment for the equipment will be made in accordance with the
provisions in Paragraph 11.2D, herein.
4. Payment for the cost of labor and subsistence or travel allowance will be
made at the rates paid by the CONTRACTOR to other workers operating
similar equipment already on the Work site, or in the absence of such
labor, established by collective bargaining agreements for the type of
workmen and location of the extra Work, whether or not the operator is
actually covered by such an agreement. A labor surcharge will be added
00700-26/39 P; E
1
to the cost of labor described herein in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 11.2B, herein, which surcharge shall constitute full
compensation for payments imposed by state and federal laws and all
other payments made to or on behalf of workers other than actual wages.
5. To the direct cost of equipment rental and labor, computed as provided
herein, will be added the allowances for equipment rental and labor as
provided in Paragraph 11.4, herein.
11.3 SPECIAL SERVICES
A. Special Work or services are defined as that Work characterized by extraordinary
complexity, sophistication, or innovation or a combination of the foregoing
attributes which are unique to the construction industry. The following may be
considered by the ENGINEER OF RECORD in making estimates for payment for
special services:
1. When the ENGINEER OF RECORD and the CONTRACTOR, by
agreement, determine that a special service or Work is required which
cannot be performed by the forces of the CONTRACTOR or those of any
of its subcontractors, the special service or Work may be performed by an
entity especially skilled in the Work to be performed. After validation of
invoices and determination of market values by the ENGINEER OF
RECORD, invoices for special services or Work based upon the current
fair market value thereof may be accepted without complete itemization of
labor, material, and equipment rental costs.
2. When the CONTRACTOR is required to perform Work necessitating
special fabrication or machining process in a fabrication or a machine
shop facility away from the job site, the charges for that portion of the
Work performed at the off-site facility may, by agreement, be accepted as
a special service and accordingly, the invoices for the Work may be
accepted without detailed itemization.
3. All invoices for special services will be adjusted by deducting all trade
discounts offered or available, whether the discounts were taken or not.
In lieu of the allowances for overhead and profit specified in Paragraph
11.4, herein, an allowance of five (5) percent will be added to invoices for
special services.
B. All Work performed hereunder shall be subject to all of the provisions of the
Contract Documents and the CONTRACTOR's sureties shall be bound with
reference thereto as under the original Agreement. Copies of all amendments to
surety bonds or supplemental surety bonds shall be submitted to the OWNER for
review prior to the performance of any Work hereunder.
11.4 CONTRACTOR'S OVERHEAD AND PROFIT
A. Extra Work ordered on the basis of time and materials will be paid for at the
actual necessary cost as determined by the ENGINEER OF RECORD, plus
allowances for overhead and profit. For extra Work involving a combination of
00700-27/39 B
s
increases and decreases in the Work the actual necessary cost will be the
arithmetic sum of the additive and deductive costs. The allowance for overhead
and profit shall include full compensation for superintendence, bond and
insurance premiums, taxes, office expense, and all other items of expense or
cost not included in the cost of labor, materials, or equipment provided for under
Paragraphs 11.2B, C, and D, herein including extended overhead and home
office overhead. The allowance for overhead and profit will be made in
accordance with the following schedule:
Actual Necessary Cost Overhead and Profit Allowance
Labor twenty (20) percent
Materials fifteen (15) percent
B. It is understood that labor, materials, and equipment may be furnished by the
CONTRACTOR or by the subcontractor on behalf of the CONTRACTOR. When
all or any part of the extra Work is performed by a subcontractor, the allowance
specified herein shall be applied to the labor, materials, and equipment costs of
the subcontractor, to which the CONTRACTOR may add five (5) percent of the
subcontractor's total cost for the extra Work. Regardless of the number of
hierarchical tiers of subcontractors, the five (5) percent increase above the
subcontractor's total cost which includes the allowances for overhead and profit
specified herein may be applied one time only for each separate Work
transaction.
11.5 EXCLUDED COSTS
A. The term "cost of the Work" shall not include any of the following:
1. Payroll costs and other compensation of CONTRACTOR's officers,
executives, principals (of partnership and sole proprietorships) general
managers, ENGINEER OF RECORDs, architects, estimators, attorneys'
auditors accountants, purchasing and contracting agents, expediters, time
keepers, clerks, and other personnel employed by CONTRACTOR
whether at the site or in CONTRACTOR's principal or a branch office for
general administration of the Work and not specifically covered by
Paragraph 11.3F all of which are to be considered administrative costs
covered by the CONTRACTOR's allowance for overhead and profit;
2. Expenses of CONTRACTOR's principal and branch offices other than
CONTRACTOR's office at the site;
3. Any part of CONTRACTOR's capital expenses, including interest on
CONTRACTOR's capital employed for the Work and charges against
CONTRACTOR for delinquent payments;
4. Cost of premiums for all Bonds and for all insurance whether or not
CONTRACTOR is required by the Contract Documents to purchase and
maintain the same (except for the cost of premiums covered by
Paragraph 11.4 above);
00700-28/39 I a
•
•
5. Costs due to the negligence of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, or
anyone directly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them
may be liable, including but not limited to, the correction of defective work,
disposal of materials or equipment wrongly supplied, and making good
any damage to property.
ARTICLE 12 -- CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME
12.1 GENERAL
A. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. Any claim for an
extension of the Contract Time shall be based on written notice delivered by the
CONTRACTOR to the ENGINEER OF RECORD promptly (but in no event later
than thirty (30) days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and
stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with
supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after such occurrence
(unless the ENGINEER OF RECORD allows an additional period of time to
ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and shall be accompanied
by the CONTRACTOR'S written statement that the adjustment claimed is the
entire adjustment to which the CONTRACTOR has reason to believe it is entitled
as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the
Contract Time shall be determined by the ENGINEER OF RECORD in
accordance with Paragraph 9.8 if the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR cannot
otherwise agree. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Time will be valid if
not submitted in accordance with the requirements of this Paragraph 12.1A.
B. The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due to delays
beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR provided that such time lost affects the
critical path as shown on the CPM schedule if a claim is made therefor as
provided in Paragraph 12.1A. Such delays shall include: acts or neglect by the
OWNER or others performing additional Work as contemplated by Article 7, or by
acts of God or of the public enemy, fire, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, labor disputes, sabotage, or freight embargoes.
C. Force Majeure: The performance of this Agreement may be suspended and the
obligations of either party excused in the event of and during the period that such
performance is prevented or delayed by a Force Majeure occurrence.
D. All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the
Agreement.
12.2 EXTENSIONS OF TIME FOR DELAY DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER
A. Contract Times may be extended by the ENGINEER OF RECORD because of
delays in the completion of the Work due to unusually severe weather, provided
that the CONTRACTOR shall, within ten (10) days of the beginning of any such
delay, notify the ENGINEER OF RECORD in writing of the cause of delay and
request an extension of Contract Times. The ENGINEER OF RECORD will
00700-29/39
rt
1B
ascertain the facts and the extent of the delay and extend the Contract times
when, in its judgment, the findings of the fact justify such an extension.
B. The CONTRACTOR shall base its construction schedule upon the inclusion of
the number of days of inclement weather specified in paragraph entitled
"Inclement weather delays" of the Supplementary General Conditions. No
extension of the Contract Time due to inclement weather will be considered until
after the said number of days of inclement weather has been reached. However,
no reduction in Contract Time will be made if said number of days of inclement
weather is not reached.
ARTICLE 13 -- WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE; TESTS AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION,
REMOVAL, OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
13.1 WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE
A. The CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to the OWNER and the
ENGINEER OF RECORD that all Work will be in accordance with the Contract
Documents and will not be defective. Prompt notice of defects known to the
OWNER or ENGINEER OF RECORD shall be given to the CONTRACTOR. All
defective Work, whether or not in place, may be rejected, corrected, or accepted
as provided in this Article 13.
13.2 ACCESS TO WORK
A. The ENGINEER OF RECORD, other representatives of the OWNER, testing
agencies, and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests shall have
access to the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspections, and
testing. The CONTRACTOR shall provide proper and safe conditions for such
access.
13.3 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS
A. The CONTRACTOR shall give the ENGINEER OF RECORD timely notice of
readiness of the Work for all required inspections, tests, or approvals.
B. If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction other than the
OWNER require any Work to specifically be inspected, tested, or approved, the
CONTRACTOR shall pay all costs in connection therewith. The CONTRACTOR
shall also be responsible for and shall pay all costs in connection with any
inspection or testing required in connection with the OWNER's or the ENGINEER
OF RECORD's acceptance of a Supplier of materials or equipment proposed as
a substitution or (or-equal) to be incorporated in the Work, or of materials or
equipment submitted for review prior to the CONTRACTOR's purchase thereof
for incorporation in the Work. The costs of all inspections, tests, and approvals in
addition to the above which are required by the Contract Documents shall be
paid by the OWNER (unless otherwise specified). The CONTRACTOR will pay
for failed tests and "stand-by time" by the Laboratory Tests personnel and others.
00700-30/39
C. The ENGINEER OF RECORD will make, or have made, such inspections and
test as the ENGINEER OF RECORD deems necessary to see that the Work is
being accomplished in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents. Unless otherwise specified in the Supplementary General
Conditions, the cost of such inspection and testing will be borne by the OWNER.
In the event such inspections or tests reveal non-compliance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents, the CONTRACTOR shall bear the cost
of corrective measures deemed necessary by the ENGINEER OF RECORD, as
well as the cost of subsequent re-inspection and retesting. Neither observations
by the ENGINEER OF RECORD nor inspections, tests, or approvals by others
shall relieve the CONTRACTOR from the CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform
the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
D. All inspections, tests, or approvals other than those required by Laws or
Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by
organizations acceptable to the ENGINEER OF RECORD and the
CONTRACTOR.
E. If any Work (including the Work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or
approved is covered without written concurrence of the ENGINEER OF
RECORD, it must, if requested by the ENGINEER OF RECORD, be uncovered
for observation. Such uncovering shall be at the CONTRACTOR's expense
unless the CONTRACTOR has given the ENGINEER OF RECORD timely notice
of the CONTRACTOR's intention to perform such test or to cover the same and
the ENGINEER OF RECORD has not acted with reasonable promptness in
response to such notice.
F. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of the ENGINEER OF
RECORD, it must, if requested by the ENGINEER OF RECORD, be uncovered
for the ENGINEER OF RECORD's observation and replaced at the
CONTRACTOR's expense.
G. If the ENGINEER OF RECORD considers it necessary or advisable that covered
Work be observed by the ENGINEER OF RECORD or inspected or tested by
others, the CONTRACTOR, at the ENGINEER OF RECORD's request, shall
uncover, expose, or otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or
testing as the ENGINEER OF RECORD may require, that portion of the Work in
question, furnishing all necessary labor, material, and equipment. If it is found
that such Work is defective, the CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect, and
consequential costs and damages of such uncovering, exposure, observation,
inspection, and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction, including but not
limited to fees and charges of ENGINEER OF RECORDs, architects, attorneys,
and other professionals. However, if such Work is not found to be defective, the
CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an
extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering,
exposure, observation, inspection, testing, and reconstruction; and, if the parties
are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, the CONTRACTOR may
make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
00700-31/39 S 11
13.4 OWNER MAY STOP THE WORK
A. If the Work is defective, or the CONTRACTOR fails to perform Work in such a
way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents, the
OWNER may order the CONTRACTOR to stop the Work, or any portion thereof,
until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of the
OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of the
OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of the CONTRACTOR or any other
party.
13.5 CORRECTION OR REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE WORK
A. If required by the ENGINEER OF RECORD, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly,
either correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed, or
completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by the ENGINEER OF RECORD,
remove it from the site and replace it with non-defective Work. The
CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs and
damages of such correction or removal, including but not limited to fees and
charges of ENGINEER OF RECORDs, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals made necessary thereby.
13.6 ONE YEAR CORRECTION PERIOD
A. If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period
of time as may be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any
applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents or by any
specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work is found to be defective,
the CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to the OWNER and in
accordance with OWNER's written notification, either correct such defective
Work, or, if it has been rejected by the OWNER, remove it from the site and
replace it with non-defective Work. If the CONTRACTOR does not promptly
comply with the such notification, or in an emergency where delay would cause
serious risk of loss or damage, the OWNER may have the defective Work
corrected or the rejected Work removed and replaced, and all direct, indirect, and
consequential costs and damages of such removal and replacement including
but not limited to fees and charges of ENGINEER OF RECORDs, architects,
attorneys and other professionals will be paid by the CONTRACTOR.
B. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting there from) has been
corrected, removed or replaced under Paragraph 13.6, the correction period
hereunder, with respect to such Work will be extended for an additional period of one
year after such correction or removal and replacement has been satisfactorily
completed.
00700-32/39
13.7 ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work,
the OWNER prefers to accept the Work, the OWNER may do so. The
CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect, and consequential costs
attributable to the OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such
defective Work. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, a Change
Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work, and the OWNER shall be entitled to an
appropriate decrease in the Contract Price.
ARTICLE 14 -- PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION

subtotal from which shall be deducted the amount of retainage specified in the
Supplementary General Conditions, and the total amount of all previous
payments made to the CONTRACTOR.
D. The Value of Materials Stored at the Site shall be an amount equal to the
specified percent of the value of such materials as set forth in the Supplementary
General Conditions. Said amount shall be based upon the value of all
acceptable materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered
and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing;
00700-33/39 S 11
provided, each such individual item has a value of more than $5,000 and will
become a permanent part of the Work. The Application for Payment shall also

Whenever the OWNER plans to exercise said right, the CONTRACTOR will be
notified in writing by the OWNER, identifying the specific portion or portions of
the Work to be so utilized or otherwise placed into service.
B. It shall be understood by the CONTRACTOR that until such written notification is
issued, all responsibility for care and maintenance of all items or portions of the
Work to be partially utilized shall be borne by the CONTRACTOR. Upon
issuance of said written notice of partial utilization, the OWNER will accept
00700-34/39

commence only after the date of Substantial Completion for the Work.
14.7 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
A. When the CONTRACTOR considers the Work ready for its intended use the
CONTRACTOR shall notify the OWNER and the ENGINEER OF RECORD in
writing that the Work is substantially complete and request that the ENGINEER
OF RECORD prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion/Notice of
Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, the OWNER, the
CONTRACTOR, and the ENGINEER OF RECORD shall make an inspection of
the Work to determine the status of completion. If the ENGINEER OF RECORD
does not consider the Work substantially complete, the ENGINEER OF
RECORD will notify the CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If
the ENGINEER OF RECORD considers the Work substantially complete, the
ENGINEER OF RECORD will prepare and deliver to the OWNER for its
execution and recordation the Certificate of Substantial Completion/Notice of
Completion signed by the ENGINEER OF RECORD and CONTRACTOR, which
shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. As applicable, there shall be
attached to the Certificate/Notice a list of items to be completed or corrected

construction and final inspection, and the ENGINEER OF RECORD's review of
the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation, all as
required by the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER OF RECORD is satisfied
that the Work has been completed and the CONTRACTOR's other obligations

recommendation of any progress or final payment by the ENGINEER OF
RECORD, nor the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion/Notice of
Completion, nor any payment by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR under the
Contract Documents, nor any use or occupancy of the Work or any part thereof
by the OWNER, nor any act of acceptance by the OWNER nor any failure to do

A. The OWNER, acting through the OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE, may, at any
time and without cause, suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of
not more than ninety (90) days by notice in writing to the CONTRACTOR. The
CONTRACTOR shall resume the Work on receipt from the OWNER'S
REPRESENTATIVE of a notice of resumption of Work. The CONTRACTOR
shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract
Time, or both, directly attributable to any suspension if the CONTRACTOR
makes an approved claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
15.2 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT BY OWNER (CONTRACTOR DEFAULT)
A. In the event of default by the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER may give ten (10)
days written notice to the CONTRACTOR of OWNER's intent to terminate the
Agreement and provide the CONTRACTOR an opportunity to remedy the
conditions constituting the default. It shall be considered a default by the
CONTRACTOR whenever CONTRACTOR shall: (1) declare bankruptcy, become
insolvent, or assign its assets for the benefit of its creditors; (2) fail to provide
materials or workmanship meeting the requirements of the Contract Documents;
(3) disregard or violate provisions of the Contract Documents or ENGINEER OF
RECORD's instructions; (4) fail to prosecute the Work according to the approved
progress schedule; or, (5) fail to provide a qualified superintendent, competent

Termination.
B. In the event the Agreement is terminated in accordance with Paragraph 15.2A,
herein, the OWNER may take possession of the Work and may complete the
Work by whatever method or means the OWNER may select. The cost of
00700-37/39
completing the Work shall be deducted from the balance which would have been
due the CONTRACTOR had the Agreement not been terminated and the Work
completed in accordance with the Contract Documents. If such cost exceeds the
balance which would have been due, the CONTRACTOR shall pay the excess
amount to the OWNER. If such cost is less than the balance which would have
been due, the CONTRACTOR shall not have claim to the difference.
15.3 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT BY OWNER (FOR CONVENIENCE)
A. The OWNER may terminate the Agreement at any time if it is found that reasons
beyond the control of either the OWNER or CONTRACTOR make it impossible
or against the OWNER's interests to complete the Work. In such a case, the
CONTRACTOR shall have no claims against the OWNER except: (1) for the
value of Work performed up to the date the Agreement is terminated; and, (2) for
the cost of materials and equipment on hand, in transit, or on definite
commitment, as of the date the Agreement is terminated, which would be needed
in the Work and which meet the requirements of the Contract Documents. The
value of Work performed and the cost of materials and equipment delivered to
the site, as mentioned above, shall be determined by the ENGINEER OF
RECORD in accordance with the procedure prescribed for the making of the final
application for payment and payment under Paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9.
15.4 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT BY CONTRACTOR
A. The CONTRACTOR may terminate the Agreement upon ten (10) days written
notice to the OWNER, whenever: (1) the Work has been suspended under the
provisions of Paragraph 15.1, herein, for more than ninety (90) consecutive days
through no fault or negligence of the CONTRACTOR, and notice to resume Work
or to terminate the Agreement has not been received from the OWNER within
this time period; or, (2) the OWNER should fail to pay the CONTRACTOR any
monies due him in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents and
within 60 days after presentation to the OWNER by the CONTRACTOR of a
request therefor, unless within said 10-day period the OWNER shall have
remedied the condition upon which the payment delay was based. In the event
of such termination, the CONTRACTOR shall have no claims against the
OWNER except for those claims specifically enumerated in Paragraph 15.3,
herein, and as determined in accordance with the requirements of said
paragraph.
ARTICLE 16 -- MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 GIVING NOTICE
A. Whenever any provision of the Contract Documents requires the giving of written
notice, it will be deemed to have been validly given if delivered in person to the

notice by CONTRACTOR to the Contract Administrator and to ENGINEER OF RECORD
within five (5) calendar days of the commencement of the event giving rise to the claim
and stating the general nature and cause of the claim. Thereafter, within twenty (20)
calendar days of the termination of the event giving rise to the claim, written notice of the
extent of the claim with supporting information and documentation shall be provided
unless ENGINEER OF RECORD allows an additional period of time to ascertain more
accurate data in support of the claim and such notice shall be accompanied by
CONTRACTOR's written notarized statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire
adjustment to which the CONTRACTOR has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of
the occurrence of said event. All claims for changes in the Contract Time or Contract
Price shall be determined by ENGINEER OF RECORD in accordance with Paragraph
9.8 of the General Conditions hereof, if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise
agree. IT IS EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY AGREED THAT ANY AND ALL
CLAIMS FOR CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT TIME OR CONTRACT PRICE SHALL
BE WAIVED IF NOT SUBMITTED IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION.
B. The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost on critical Work
items due to delays beyond the control of and through no fault or negligence of
CONTRACTOR if a claim is made therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12 of the
General Conditions. Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by
any separate contractor employed by OWNER, fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics,
abnormal weather conditions or acts of God.
SGC-12.2 INCLEMENT WEATHER DELAYS
The CONTRACTOR's construction schedule shall be based upon the inclusion of ten days of
inclement weather delays.
Inclement weather by itself is not a cause for time extension. Only where duration and
frequency of rain is abnormal as compared with the Weather Bureau data and supported by
project logs will time extensions be considered. No time extension will be allowed for weekend
rains unless the contractor has received approval and been working weekends on a regular
basis.
In order to demonstrate that a delay is the result of exceptionally adverse weather conditions,
the contractor must demonstrate that critical path activities have been delayed by more days
than those cumulatively expected during the Contract Time, based upon an average number of
days of adverse weather conditions experienced in the place where the Project is located during
the five (5) years prior to the date of this Agreement, which average shall be based upon the
historical data of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and that any float
time in the Construction Schedule has been exceeded. In order to be considered a day of
00800- 11/13
delay, the contractor must demonstrate that critical path activities were suspended during the
exceptionally adverse weather event for more than fifty percent (50%) of the work period of the
day of the exceptionally adverse weather.
Hurricane Precautions: During such periods of time as are designated by the United States
Weather Bureau as being a hurricane watch or warning, the contractor, at no cost to the City,
shall take all precautions necessary to secure the Project site in response to all threatened
storm events, regardless of whether the City or the ENGINEER OF RECORD has given notice
of same.
Compliance with any specific hurricane watch or warning precautions will not constitute
additional work.
Consideration of additional contract time relating to hurricane watch or warning at the Project
site will be addressed by a Change Order in accordance with the non-compensable excusable
delays section of the General Conditions.
Suspension of the Work caused by a threatened or actual storm event, regardless of whether
the City has directed such suspension, will entitle the contractor to additional contract time as
non-compensable, excusable delay, and shall not give rise to a claim for compensable delay.
SGC-14.3C AMOUNT OF RETENTION
Add the following to Article 14.3 Paragraph C of the General Conditions:
Unless otherwise prescribed by law, the OWNER may retain a portion of the amount
otherwise due to the CONTRACTOR, as follows:
• Retention of ten percent (10%) of each approved progress payment until the
Work is ninety percent (90%) complete and accepted by the owner,
• And retention of five percent (5%) of each approved progress payment until the
Work is one hundred percent (100%) complete and accepted by the owner.
