' 12.3.1 These amounts are not penalties but are liquidated damages to CITY for its inability to obtain full use
of the Project. Liquidated damages are hereby fixed and agreed upon between the parties, recognizing
1 the impossibility of precisely ascertaining the amount of damages that will be sustained by CITY as a
consequence of such delay, and both parties desiring to obviate any question or dispute concerning the
amount of said damages and the cost and effect of the failure of CONTRACTOR to complete the
Contract on time. The above - stated liquidated damages shall apply separately to each phase of the
' Project for which a time for completion is given.
12.3.2 City is authorized to deduct the liquidated damages from monies due to CONTRACTOR for the Work
under this Contract.
12.3.3 CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for reimbursing CITY, in addition to liquidated damages, for all
' costs incurred by CITY for the CONSULTANT'S fees in administering the construction of the Project
due to the failure of the CONTRACTOR to comply with the Contract Documents, to also include
additional time beyond an approved extension of time granted to CONTRACTOR, whichever date is
later. Such costs shall be deducted from the monies due CONTRACTOR for performance of Work
under this Contract by means of a unilateral Change Order issued by the CITY.
12.4 The Contract time may only be changed by a Change Order. Any claim for an extension in the CONTRACT
'
ME shall be based on written notice delivered to the CITY and CONSULTANT within five (5) days of the occurrence
of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim including supporting data.
All claims for adjustment in the Contract Time shall be evaluated and recommended by the CONSULTANT, with final
approval by the CITY'S representative. Any change in the Contract Time resulting from any such claim shall be
incorporated in a Change Order.
12.5 All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement.
12.6 No claim for delay shall be allowed because of failure to furnish Drawings until fourteen (14) days after demand
to the CONSULTANT for such Drawings and not then unless such claim be reasonable.
' 12.7 Extensions to the Contract Time for delays caused by the effects of inclement weather shall be submitted as a
request for a change in the Contract Time pursuant to Section 12.4. These time extensions are justified only when rains
or other inclement weather conditions or related adverse soil conditions prevent CONTRACTOR from productively
' performing controlling items of Work identified on the accepted schedule or updates resulting in:
a) CONTRACTOR being unable to work at least fifty percent (50 %) of the normal workday on controlling
' items of Work identified on the accepted schedule or updates due to adverse weather conditions; or
b) CONTRACTOR must make major repairs to the Work damaged by weather. Providing the damage was
not attributable to a failure to perform or neglect by CONTRACTOR, and providing that CONTRACTOR was
unable to work at least fifty percent (50 %)of the normal workday on controlling items of Work identified on the
accepted schedule or updates.
12.8 No Damages for Delay: No claim for damages or any claim, other than for an extension of time as provided for
in Section 12.4 shall be made or asserted against CITY by reason of any delays. CONTRACTOR shall not be
entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or payment or compensation of any kind from CITY for direct,
' indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to, costs of
acceleration or inefficiency, overhead or lost profits, 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. CONTRACTOR shall be entitled
only to extensions of the Contract Time as the sole and exclusive remedy for such resulting delay.

CONTRACTOR will submit to the CONSULTANT a partial payment estimate filled out and signed by the
' CONTRACTOR covering the Work performed during the period covered by the partial payment estimate and supported
by such data as the CONSULTANT may reasonably require.
1 If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably

payment. In the latter case, the CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the partial payment
estimate. The CITY, will within thirty (30) days of presentation to them of any approved partial payment estimate, pay
the CONTRACTOR a progress payment on the basis of the approved partial payment estimate. The CITY may retain
ten (10) percent ofthe amount of each payment until final completion and acceptance of all Work covered by the Contract

on the retainage shall accrue to the benefit of the CITY.
142 The CITY shall have the right to demand and receive from the CONTRACTOR, before he shall receive final
payment, final releases of lien executed by all persons, firms or corporations who have performed or furnished labor,
services or materials, directly or indirectly, used in the Work. Likewise, as a condition to receiving any progress payment,

■ which the progress payment is due, releasing such lien rights s those persons, firms or corporations may have for that
period.

' 14.3 The CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by an
Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will have passed to the CITY prior to the making
of the Application for Payment, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interest and encumbrances (hereafter in these
General Conditions referred to as "Liens "); and that no Work, materials or equipment covered by an Application for
Payment will have been acquired by the CONTRACTOR or by any other person performing the Work at the site or

encumbrance thereon is retained by the seller or otherwise imposed by the CONTRACTOR or such other person.
1 Approval of Payment
14.4 The CONSULTANT'S approval of any payment requested in an Application for Payment shall constitute a
' representation by them to the CITY, based on the CONSULTANT'S on site observations of the Work in progress as an
experienced and qualified design professional and on their review of the Application for Payment and supporting data,
that the Work has progressed to the point indicated, that, to the best of their knowledge, information and belief, the
' quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning
Project upon substantial completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and any
qualifications stated in their approval); and that the CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount approved.
However, by approving any such payment the CONSULTANT shall not thereby be deemed to have represented that they
r made exhaustive or continuous on -site observations to check the quality or the quantity of the Work, or that they have
reviewed the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction or that they had made any
examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid or to be paid to them
on account of the Contract Price, or that title to any Work, materials, or equipment has passed to the CITY free and clear
of any liens.
14.5 The CONTRACTOR shall make the following certification on each request for payment:
"I hereby certify that the labor and materials listed on this request for payment have been used in the construction of this
Work or that all materials included in this request for payment and not yet incorporated into the construction are now on
the site or stored at an approved location, and payment received from the last request for payment has been used to make
payments to all first tier Subcontractors and suppliers except as listed below ".
14.6 The CONSULTANT may refuse to approve the whole or any part of any payment if, in their opinion, they are
unable to make such representations to the CITY. They may also refuse to approve any payment, or because of
subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspection or tests, nullify any such payment previously
approved, to such extent as may be necessary in their opinion to protect the CITY from loss because:
14.6.1 The Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement,
14.6.2 The Work for which payment is requested cannot be verified,
14.6.3 Claims or Liens have been filed or there is reasonable evidence indicating the probable filing thereof,

00710-23
' 14.7 Prior to Final Acceptance the CITY, with the approval of the CONSULTANT and with the concurrence of the
CONTRACTOR, may use any completed or substantially completed portions of the Work. Such use shall not constitute
an acceptance of such portions of the Work.
14.8 The CITY shall have the right to enter the premises for the purpose of doing Work not covered by the Contract
' Documents. This provision shall not be construed as relieving the CONTRACTOR of the sole responsibility for the care
and protection of the Work, or the restoration of any damaged Work except such as may be caused by agents or
employees of the CITY.
' 14.9 Upon completion and acceptance of the Work the CONSULTANT shall issue a certificate attached to the final
payment request that the Work has been accepted by them under the conditions of the Contract Documents. The entire
