Documents"). Change Orders issued hereafter, Construction Change Directives, a Direction for a Minor
Modification in the Work issued by the City, and any other amendments executed by the City and the
Contractor, shall become and be a part of the Contract. Documents not included or expressly
contemplated in this Article 1 do not, and shall not, form any part of the Contract. The Contract
Documents are intended to be complementary, and a requirement in one document shall be deemed to
be required in all documents. However, in the event of any conflict between any of the above-listed
documents and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
ARTICLE 2. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE CONTRACTOR
In order to induce the City to execute the Contract and recognizing that the City is relying thereon, the
Contractor, by executing the Contract, makes the following express representations to the City:
2.01 The Contractor is fully qualified to act as the general contractor for the Project and has, and
shall maintain, any and all licenses, permits or other authorizations necessary to act as the
general contractor for, and to construct the Project;
2.02 The Contractor has become familiar with the Project site and the local conditions under which
the Project is to be constructed and operated;
2.03 The Contractor has received, reviewed and examined all of the documents which make up the
Contract, including, but not limited to all plans and specifications, and has found them to the
best of its knowledge, to be complete, accurate, adequate, consistent, coordinated and
sufficient for construction.
ARTICLE 3. INTENT AND INTERPRETATION
With respect to the intent and interpretation of the Contract, the City and the Contractor agree as
follows:
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 2 of 25
3.01 This Agreement (along with its exhibits and other documents expressly referenced in Article I,
above), together with the Contractor's and Surety's bid/proposal bonds and performance and
payment bonds for the Project constitute the entire and exclusive agreements between the
parties with reference to the Project, and said Contract supersedes any and all prior
discussions, communications, representations, understandings, negotiations, or agreements.
3.02 Anything that may be required, implied or reasonably inferred by the documents which make up
the Contract, or anyone or more of them, shall be provided by the Contractor for the Contract
Price;
3.03 Nothing contained in the Contract shall create, nor be interpreted to create, privity or any other
relationship whatsoever between the City and any person except the Contractor;
3.04 When a word, term, or phrase is used in the Contract, it shall be interpreted or construed first,
as defined herein; second, if not defined, according to its generally accepted meaning in the
construction industry; and third, if there is no generally accepted meaning in the construction
industry, according to its common and customary usage;
3.05 Wherever the Contract calls for "strict" compliance or conformance with the Contract Documents
as to matters-other than compliance with time limits, providing an updated schedule, and claim
and change order procedures-the term shall mean within tolerances as described specifically
in the Contract Documents, or if not specifically described, within industry standards and
tolerances for deviation for the specific item or procedure in question;
3.06 The words "include", "includes", or "including", as used in the Contract, shall be deemed to be
followed by the phrase, "without limitation";
3.07 The listing herein of any items as constituting a material breach of the Contract shall not imply
that any other, non listed item will not constitute a material breach of the Contract;
3.08 The Contractor shall have a continuing duty to read, examine, review, compare and contrast
each of the documents which make up the Contract, shop drawings, and other submittals and
shall give written notice to the City of any conflict, ambiguity, error or omission which the
Contractor may find with respect to these documents, before proceeding with the associated
part of the Work. The express or implied approval by the City or its designee of any shop
drawings or other submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the continuing duties imposed
hereby, nor shall any such approval be evidence of the Contractor's compliance with the
Contract. The City has prepared documents for the Project, including the plans and
speCifications for the Project, which are accurate, adequate, consistent, coordinated and
sufficient for construction. The Contractor shall not be liable to the City for damage resulting
from errors, inconsistencies or omissions in the Contract Documents unless the Contractor
recognized, or reasonably should have recognized, such error, inconsistency or omission and
knowingly failed to report it to the City. If the Contractor performs any activity knowing it involves
an error, inconsistency or omission which was recognized, obvious, or reasonably should have
been recognized, without such notice to the City, the Contractor shall assume responsibility for
such performance and shall bear the costs for correction;
3.09 In the event of any conflict, discrepancy, or inconSistency among any of the documents which
make up the Contract, the following shall control:
(1) As between this Agreement and any other document, this document shall govern.
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 30f25
(2) In the case of any conflict, discrepancy or inconsistency among any of the other Contract
Documents, the Contractor shall notify the City immediately upon discovery of same for
resolution.
ARTICLE 4. CONTRACTOR'S PERFORMANCE
The Contractor shall perform all of the Work required, implied or reasonably inferable from the Contract
including, but not limited to, the following:
4.01 The Contractor will complete the entire Work described in the Contract Documents, except as
specifically identified therein as the work of other parties or expressly excluded by specific
reference, in accordance with the terms herein, Exhibit A and the Scope of Work, all as may be
amended from time to time;
4.02 The furnishing of any and all required surety bonds and insurance certificate(s) and
endorsement(s );
4.03 The provision or furnishing, and prompt payment therefor, of labor, supervision, services,
materials, supplies, equipment, fixtures, appliances, facilities, tools, transportation, storage,
disposal, power, fuel, heat, light, cooling, or other utilities, required for construction and all
necessary building permits and other permits or licenses required for the construction of the
Project;
4.04 The creation and maintenance of a detailed and comprehensive copy of the drawings,
specifications, addenda, change orders and other modifications depicting all as-built
construction. Said items shall be submitted to the City, along with other required submittals
upon Completion of the Project, and receipt of same by the City shall be a condition precedent
to final payment to the Contractor. The Contractor shall prepare and submit final as-built
drawings to the City.
ARTICLE 5. TIME FOR CONTRACTOR'S PERFORMANCE; DELAVS
5.01 The Contractor shall commence the performance of the Contract on the date set forth in the
Notice to Proceed issued by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee and shall
diligently continue its performance to and until Completion of the Project. The Contractor shall
accomplish Substantial Completion (as defined herein below) of the Project not more
than 125 calendar days following the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, (sometimes
hereinafter referred to as the "Contract Time"). This Contract Time includes 20 inclement
weather days. By signing the Contract. the Contractor agrees that the Contract Time is a
reasonable time for accomplishing Completion of the Project and completion of the Project
within the Contract Time is of the essence.
5.02 The Contractor shall pay the City the sum of $500 per day for each and every calendar day of
unexcused delay in achieving Substantial Completion beyond the date set forth herein for
Substantial Completion. Any sums due and payable hereunder by the Contractor shall be
payable, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages representing an estimate of delay
damages likely to be sustained by the City, estimated at the time of executing the Contract.
When the City reasonably believes that Substantial Completion will be inexcusably delayed, the
City shall be entitled, but not required, to withhold from any amounts otherwise due the
Contractor an amount then believed by the City to be adequate to recover liquidated damages
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 40f25
applicable to such delays. If and when the Contractor overcomes the delay in achieving
Substantial Completion, or any part thereof, for which the City has withheld payment, the City
shall promptly release to the Contractor those funds withheld over and above what ultimately
came due as liquidated damages;
5.03 The term "Substantial Completion", as used herein, shall mean the point at which, as certified in
writing by the City's consulting architect/engineer or other appropriate independent contractor or
representative and approved by the City, the Project is at a level of completion in strict
compliance with the Contract such that the City or its designee can enjoy beneficial use or
occupancy and can legally occupy, use or operate it in all respects, for its intended purpose.
Partial use or occupancy of the Project shall not result in the Project being deemed substantially
complete, and such partial use or occupancy shall not be evidence of Substantial Completion.
5.04 All limitations of time set forth herein are material and are of the essence of the Contract.
5.05 Contractor agrees to punctually and diligently perform all parts of the Work at the time
scheduled in this Agreement. In this connection, Contractor agrees that it will keep itself
continually informed of the progress of the job and will, upon its own initiative, confer with the
City so as to plan its Work in coordinated sequence with the work of the City, if any, and of
others and so as to be able to expeditiously undertake and perform its work at the time most
beneficial to the entire Project. The Contractor will be liable for any loss, costs, or damages
sustained by the City for delays in performing the Work hereunder, other than for excusable
delays, as set forth in 5.06 below, for which Contractor may be granted a reasonable extension
of time.
5.06 If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by any separate contractor
employed by the City, or by changes in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in
transportation, unusually severe weather conditions, unavoidable casualties, delays specifically
authorized by the City, or by causes beyond the Contractor's control, avoidance, or mitigation,
and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor and/or subcontractor or supplier at any tier,
then the contract time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time, if any, as
the City may determine that such event has delayed the progress of the Work, or overall
completion of the Work if the Contractor complies with the notice and documentation
requirements set forth below.
(1) If the Contractor is delayed, obstructed, hindered or interrupted for a period of time
exceeding seven calendar days by any act or neglect of the City, an adjustment shall be
made for any increase in the direct cost of performance of this contract (excluding profit,
extended home office overhead, incidental or consequential damages or disruption
damages) and the Contract modified in writing accordingly. The Contractor must assert
its right under this article by giving written notice to the City Manager 10 calendar days of
the beginning of a delay, obstruction, hindrance or interruption by the City. No
adjustment shall be made for any delay, obstruction, hindrance or interruption after final
payment under this contract or to the extent that performance would have been so
delayed, obstructed, hindered or interrupted by any other cause, including, but not
limited to concurrent cause or fault or negligence of the Contractor, or for which an
equitable adjustment is provided for or excluded under any other term or condition of this
contract. The direct costs described above shall be limited to those direct costs
attributable solely to this project, and shall be subject to documentation and verification
of costs as required by the City. If unit prices are established in the Contract Documents
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 5 of25
or subsequently agreed upon, they shall form the basis for cost calculations under any
claims for delay.
(2) Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to the City, not more than 10
calendar days from the beginning of the delay. The notice shall indicate the cause of
delay upon the progress of Work. If the cause of the delay is continuing, the Contractor
must give such written notice every 10 calendar days. Within 10 calendar days after the
elimination of any such delay, the Contractor shall submit further documentation of the
delay and a formal Change Order request for an extension of time for such delay.
(3) The written request for a time extension shall state the cause of the delay, the number of
calendar days extension requested, and such analysis and other documentation as is
reasonably requested by the City to demonstrate a delay in the progress of the Work or
the overall project completion. If the Contractor does not comply with the above notice
and documentation requirements, the claim for the delay shall be waived by the
Contractor. The above notice and documentation requirements shall also be a condition
precedent to the Contractor's entitlement to any extension of time.
(4) Extensions of time will be the contractor's primary remedy for any and all delays,
obstructions, hindrances, or interference. Payment or compensation, for direct costs only
(as set forth above), may be made to the Contractor for hindrances or delays solely
caused by the City if such delays or hindrances are within the City's ability to control and
are not partially caused by the Contractor or any of its agents, subcontractors or others
for whom it is responsible. No payment or compensation will be made for interference,
obstructions, hindrances or delays which are not solely caused by the City and which the
City fails to cure after a reasonable period after written notice.
(5) Without limitation, the City's exercise of its rights under provisions related to changes to
the Work, regardless of the extent or number of such changes, or the City's exercise of
any of its remedies or any requirement to correct or re-execute defective Work, shall not
under any circumstances be construed as delays, hindrances or interference
compensable further than as described herein.
ARTICLE 6. FIXED PRICE AND CONTRACT PAYMENTS
6.01 The City shall pay, and the Contractor shall accept, as full and complete payment for the
Contractor's timely performance of its obligations hereunder the fixed price of
$344.222.00. The price set forth in this Section 6.01 shall constitute the Contract Price, which
shall not be modified except by Change Order or adjustment pursuant to approved unit prices, if
any, as provided in the Contract.
6.02 The City shall pay the Contract Price to the Contractor in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Article 6 and as set forth here:
(1) On or before the 10th calendar day of each month after commencement of performance,
but no more frequently than once monthly, the Contractor may submit a payment
request for the period ending the last calendar day of the previous month (the "Payment
Request"). Said Payment Request shall be in such format and include whatever
supporting information as may be required by the City. Therein, the Contractor may
request payment for 90% of that part of the Contract Price allocable to Contract
requirements properly provided, labor, materials and equipment properly incorporated in
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 60f25
the Project, and materials or equipment necessary for the Project and properly stored at
the Project site (or elsewhere if offsite storage is approved in writing by the City), less
the total amount of previous payments received from the City. Payment for materials
stored offsite shall be at the discretion of the City and if approved, the Contractor shall
provide appropriate documentation to substantiate materials are stored in a bonded
warehouse or facility, title or other proof of ownership has been transferred to the City,
and that materials have been purchased and paid for by the Contractor (copies of paid
invoices must be submitted to the City with payment request). Risk of loss shall be borne
by, and insurance must be provided by the Contractor while in storage, transit and use
during construction. At 75% completion of the Contract, by dollar value, and at the option
of the City, retainage may be reduced to 5% plus an additional amount as detailed in
Section 6.06 below for any part of the Work that is defective or non-conforming and in
Section 5.02 above for antiCipated liquidated damages.
(2) Amounts reflected in Change Orders may be included in Payment Requests to the
extent they are not in dispute and subject to final approval of cost to the City for such
changes in the work.
(3) Each Payment Request shall be signed by the Contractor and shall constitute the
Contractor's representation that the quantity of Work has reached the level for which
payment is requested, that the Work has been properly installed or performed in strict
compliance with the Contract, and that the Contractor knows of no reason why payment
should not be made as requested.
(4) Thereafter, the City shall 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 the Contract. The amount
of each such payment shall be the amount approved for payment by the City 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 the Contract, subject to approval by the City.
Approval of the Contractor's Payment Requests shall not preclude the City from the
exercise of any of its rights as set forth in 6.06 herein below.
(5) The submission by the Contractor of a Payment Request also constitutes an affirmative
representation and warranty that all work for which the City has previously paid is free
and clear of any lien, claim, or other encumbrance of any person whatsoever. As a
condition precedent to payment, the Contractor shall, if required by the City, also furnish
to the City properly executed waivers of lien or claim, in a form acceptable to the City,
from all subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers or others having lien or claim rights,
wherein said subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers or others having lien or claim rights,
shall acknowledge receipt of all sums due pursuant to all prior Payment Requests and
waive and relinquish any liens, lien rights or other claims relating to the Project site.
Furthermore, the Contractor warrants and represents that, upon payment of the
Payment Request submitted, title to all work included in such payment shall be vested in
the City.
6.03 When payment is received from the City, the Contractor shall within seven calendar days pay all
subcontractors, material men, laborers and suppliers the amounts they are due for the work
covered by such payment. In the event the City becomes informed that the Contractor has not
paid a subcontractor, material man, laborer, or supplier as provided herein, the City shall have
the right, but not the duty, to issue future checks and payment to the Contractor of amounts
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 7 of25
otherwise due hereunder naming the Contractor and any such subcontractor, material man,
laborer, or supplier as joint payees. The City shall notify the Contractor of its intent to implement
such a procedure, and will give the Contractor a reasonable period to cure any such failure prior
to implementing the procedure. Such joint-check procedure, if employed by the City, shall create
no rights in favor of any person or entity beyond the right of the named payees to payment of
the check as a co-payee and shall not be deemed to commit the City to repeat the procedure in
the future.
6.04 Neither payment to the Contractor, full or partial utilization of the Project for any purpose by the
City, nor any other act or omission by the City shall be interpreted or construed as an
acceptance of any work of the Contractor not strictly in compliance with the Contract;
6.05 After written notice to the Contractor and a reasonable opportunity to cure, the City shall have
the right to refuse to make payment, in whole or in part, and, if necessary, may demand the
return of a portion or all of the amount previously paid to the Contractor due to:
(1) The quality of a portion, or all, of the Contractor's work not being in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract;
(2) The quantity of the Contractor's work not being as represented in the Contractor's
Payment Request, or otherwise;
(3) The Contractor's rate of progress being such that, in the opinion of the City, Substantial
Completion may be inexcusably delayed;
(4) The Contractor's failure to use Contract funds, previously paid the Contractor by the City,
to pay Contractor's Project-related obligations including, but not limited to,
subcontractors, laborers and material and equipment suppliers;
(5) Claims made, or likely to be made, against the City or its property for which the
Contractor or its agents or subcontractors or others for whom it is responsible are, or
reasonably appear to be at fault;
(6) Loss caused by the Contractor;
(7) The Contractor's failure or refusal to perform any of its obligations to the City, after
written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure as set forth above.
In the event that the City makes written demand upon the Contractor for amounts previously
paid by the City as contemplated in this Section 6.05, the Contractor shall promptly comply with
such demand. The City's rights hereunder survive the term of this Agreement, are not waived by
final payment and/or acceptance, and are in addition to Contractor's obligations elsewhere
herein.
6.06 When the Contractor believes that Substantial Completion has been achieved, the Contractor
shall notify the City in writing and shall furnish a listing of those matters, if any, yet to be
finished. The City will thereupon conduct a site review to confirm that the Project is in fact
substantially complete. If the City, through its review, finds that the Contractor's work is not
substantially complete, and is required to repeat all, or any portion, of such review, the
Contractor shall bear the cost of such repeat site review(s), which cost may be deducted by the
City from any payment then or thereafter due to the Contractor. Guarantees and equipment
warranties required by the Contract shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion.
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 8 of25
Upon Substantial Completion, the City shall pay the Contractor an amount sufficient to increase
total payments to the Contractor to 100% of the Contract Price less any amounts attributable to
damages, and less 150% of the costs, as reasonably determined by the City, incurred for the
City to complete any incomplete work, correcting and bringing into conformance all defective
and nonconforming work, and handling any outstanding or threatened claims. Such a
calculation by the City of costs for completing all incomplete work, correcting and bringing into
conformance all defective and nonconforming work, and handling any outstanding or threatened
claims shall not bar the City from exercising its stated rights elsewhere in the Contract, or
otherwise as provided by law for any incomplete, defective or nonconforming work or claims that
are discovered by the City after the date of making such calculation or after the date of any
partial or final payment, whether or not such incomplete, defective or nonconforming work or
claims were obvious or should have been discovered earlier.
6.07 When the Project is finally complete and the Contractor is ready for a final review, it shall notify
the City thereof in writing. Thereupon, the City will perform a final site review of the Project. If
the City concurs that the Project is complete in full accordance with the Contract and that the
Contractor has performed all of its obligations to the City hereunder, the Contractor will furnish a
final Approval for Payment to the City certifying to the City that the Project is complete and the
Contractor is entitled to the remainder of the unpaid Contract Price, less any amount withheld
pursuant to the Contract. If the City is unable to issue its final Approval for Payment and is
required to repeat its final review of the Project, the Contractor shall bear the cost of such repeat
review(s), which costs may be deducted by the City from the Contractor's final payment;
6.08 The City shall, subject to its rights set forth in Section 6.06 above and elsewhere in the
Contract, endeavor to make final payment of all sums due the Contractor within 30 calendar
days of the final Approval for Payment, with the exception of items in dispute or concerning
which the City has exercised any of its rights to investigate or remove.
ARTICLE 7. INFORMATION AND MATERIAL SUPPLIED BY THE CITY
7.01 The City has furnished to the Contractor, prior to the execution of this Agreement, all written and
tangible material in its possession relevant to the conditions at the site of the Project. Such
written and tangible material has been furnished to the Contractor only in order to make
complete disclosure of such material as being in the possession of the City and for no other
purpose. By furnishing such material, the City does not represent, warrant, or guarantee its
accuracy either in whole, in part, implicitly or explicitly, or at all.
7.02 Differing site conditions. The Contractor shall promptly, and before such conditions are
disturbed, notify the City in writing of: (1) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site
differing materially from those indicated in the contract, or (2) unknown physical conditions at
the site, of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and
generally recognized as inhering in work of the character provided for in this contract. The City
shall investigate the conditions, and if it finds that such conditions do materially so differ and
cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, performance

ARTICLE 8. CEASE AND DESIST ORDER/OWNER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM WORK
8.01 In the event the Contractor fails or refuses to perform the Work, or any separable part thereof,
as required herein, or with the diligence that will ensure its proper, timely completion in
accordance with the contract documents, the City may instruct the Contractor, by written notice,
to cease and desist further Work, in whole or in part, or to correct deficient Work. Upon receipt
of such instruction, the Contractor shall immediately cease and desist, or proceed, as instructed
by the City. In the event the City issues such instructions to cease and desist, the Contractor
must, within seven calendar days of receipt of the City's instructions, provide a written, verified
plan to eliminate or correct the cause of the City's order, which plan appears to the City to be
reasonable, actually attainable and in good faith. In the event that the Contractor fails and/or
refuses to provide such a plan or diligently execute an approved plan, then the City shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to carry out the Work, or any portion thereof, with its own forces,
or with the forces of another contractor, and the Contractor shall be fully responsible and liable
for the costs of the City performing such work, which costs may be withheld from amounts due
to the Contractor from the City. The rights set forth herein are in addition to, and without
prejudice to, any other rights or remedies the City may have against the Contractor.
If Work completed by the City or other contractor affects, relates to, is to be attached onto or
extended by later Work of the Contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with the later
Work, and to the extent visible, report any apparent defects or variance from the Contract
requirements which would render the Contractor's later Work not in compliance with the
Contract requirements or defective or not in compliance with warranties or other obligations of
the Contractor hereunder.
8.02 The provisions of this article shall be in addition to the City's ability to remove portions of the
Work from the Contract and complete it separately.

omission in the Contract without first providing written notice to the City, the Contractor shall be
responsible for such work and shall correct same bearing the costs set forth in Section 3.08
above.
9.02 All work shall strictly conform to the requirements of the Contract. To that end, the Contractor

Manager's designee, and which shall provide for expeditious and practicable construction of the
Project. The Contractor's schedule shall be updated no less frequently than monthly (unless the
parties otherwise agree in writing) and shall be updated to reflect conditions encountered from
time to time and shall apply to the total project. Each such revision shall be fumished to the City.

PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 11 of 25
9.08 The Contractor shall keep an updated copy of the Contract Documents at the site. Additionally,
the Contractor shall keep a copy of approved shop drawings and other submittals. All of these
items shall be available to the City during all regular business hours.

unless such shall have been approved in writing by the City or as required by the Contract
Documents. All work requiring approved shop drawings or other submittals shall be done in
strict compliance with such approved documents or Contract requirements. However, approval
by the City shall not be evidence that work installed pursuant thereto conforms with the
requirements of the Contract, and shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for deviations

incorporated in the submittals and has approved the deviation in writing.
The delivery of submittals shall constitute a representation by the Contractor that it has verified
that the submittals meets the requirements of the Contract, or will do so, including field
measurements, materials and field construction criteria related thereto.

entitled to charge the Contractor for same through the collection or withholding of funds through
the mechanisms provided elsewhere in this Agreement;
9.11 At all times relevant to the Contract, the Contractor shall permit the City and its consultants to

authority the City shall not incur any obligations to monitor, initiate, continue, or
supervise safety programs and precautions such to diminish the Contractor's primary
role in same. The City shall have the right to report suspected safety violations to the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or other appropriate authorities.

which Contractor reasonably believes to be asbestos, lead, PCB, or other hazardous
material, and shall immediately stop work in the affected area of the Project. The
Contractor shall not be responsible for removal or other work with regard to such
hazardous material unless otherwise agreed between the City and the Contractor. In the
case of work stopped due to the discovery of hazardous materials, Article 6 shall apply

Contract are of good quality and new unless otherwise required or permitted under the Contract
Documents, that the Work will be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or
permitted, and that the Work will conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents. Work
not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and
authorized, may be considered defective. The Contractor's warranty excludes remedy for
damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by the Contractor, improper or
insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage. If

and its officers, agents, employees, and consultants from and against any and all liability,
damages, losses, (whether in contract or in tort, including personal injury, accidental death or
property damage, and regardless, of whether the allegations are false, fraudulent or
groundless), and costs (including reasonable attorney's fees, litigation, arbitration, mediation,
appeal expenses incurred in any matter, including a proceeding to enforce this Article 10)
which in whole or in part are caused by the negligence, recklessness or intentional wrongful
misconduct of the Contractor and persons employed by or utilized by the Contractor in
Contractor's performance of this Agreement.
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 13 of 25
10.02 Contractor's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless shall remain in effect and shall
be binding upon Contractor whether such injury or damage shall accrue, or may be discovered,
before or after termination of the Contract.
10.03 Contractor's failure to comply with this section's provisions shall constitute a material breach
upon which City may immediately terminate or suspend this Agreement.
ARTICLE 11. CLAIMS BY THE CONTRACTOR
Claims by the Contractor against the City, other than for time extensions covered by Article 6
hereof, are subject to the following terms and conditions:
11.01 All Contractor claims against the City shall be initiated by a written claim submitted to the City.
Notice of such claim shall be received by the City no later than either 10 calendar days after the
event, or 10 calendar days after the first appearance of the circumstances causing the claim,
whichever is sooner, and same shall set forth in detail all known facts and circumstances
supporting the claim. Final costs associated with any claim upon which notice has been filed
must be submitted in writing to the City within 30 calendar days after notice has been received;
11.02 The Contractor and the City shall continue their performance hereunder regardless of the
existence of any claims submitted by the Contractor including claims set forth in Article 6 hereof;
11.03 In the event the Contractor discovers previously concealed and unknown site conditions which
are materially at variance from those typically and ordinarily encountered in the general
geographical location of the Project, the Contract Price may, with the approval of the City, be
modified, either upward or downward, upon the written notice of claim made by either party
within 10 calendar days after the first appearance to such party of the circumstances. Final
costs must be submitted within 30 calendar days after such notice is received by the City,
unless extended by written agreement of the parties. As a condition precedent to the City having
any liability to the Contractor due to concealed and unknown conditions, the Contractor must
give the City written notice of, and an opportunity to observe, such condition prior to disturbing
it. The failure by the Contractor to give the written notice and make the claim as provided by this
Section 11.03 and as required elsewhere under the Contract shall constitute a waiver by the
Contractor of any rights arising out of or relating to such concealed and unknown condition;
11.04 In the event the Contractor seeks to make a claim for an increase in the Contract Price, as a
condition precedent to any liability of the City therefor, unless emergency conditions exist, the
Contractor shall strictly comply with the requirements of Section 11.01 above and such claim
shall be made by the Contractor before proceeding to execute any work for which a claim is
made. Failure to comply with this condition precedent shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor
of any claim for additional compensation;
11.05 In connection with any claim by the Contractor against the City that would result in
compensation in excess of the Contract Price, any liability of the City for the Contractor's cost in
this regard shall be limited to those cost categories set forth in Section 13.07 below.
ARTICLE 12. SUBCONTRACTORS
12.01 Prior to execution of the Contract, the Contractor shall have identified to the City in writing,
those parties required to be listed on the proposal form as subcontractors on the Project. Any
changes to this list at any time shall be subject to the prior approval of the City. The City shall, in
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 14 of 25
writing, state any objections the City may have to one or more of such subcontractors. The
Contractor shall not enter into a subcontract with an intended subcontractor to whom the City
objects. If at any time the City objects to a subcontractor, the Contractor shall solicit proposals
from potential replacements and shall submit the three lowest proposals to the City, along with
the Contractor's proposed choice as replacement. If the approved replacement subcontractor's
cost is verified to be higher than the removed subcontractor, the excess shall be added to the
Contract Price, unless the subcontractor in question has to be removed due to a default, or
deficient performance.
If the approved replacement subcontractor's cost is lower than the removed subcontractor, the
difference shall be deducted from the Contract Price. Subcontractor markups shall be limited to
those listed in Section 13.07 below.
All subcontracts shall afford the Contractor rights against the subcontractor which correspond to
those rights afforded to the City against the Contractor herein, including those rights of Contract
termination as set forth herein below.
12.02 Each and every subcontract related to the Project is hereby aSSigned by the Contractor to the
City, contingent upon the termination of the Contract for default or convenience as provided
herein, and only as to those subcontracts which the City accepts in writing directed to the
Contractor. This contingent assignment is subject to the prior rights of any surety obligated
under a bond related to the Contract. This contingent aSSignment will operate prospectively from
the effective date of assignment, and will not obligate the City to any liabilities existing on the
effective date of the assignment, or arising from events, acts, failures to act, facts or
circumstances existing prior to the effective date of the assignment. The contracts subject to this
contingent aSSignment shall also be further assignable by the City, at the City's sole option. The
Contractor shall bear the responsibility of notifying subcontractors of this contingent assignment
and including it in all subcontracts in connection with the Project.
ARTICLE 13. CHANGE ORDERS
13.01 The City Manager or the City Manager's express designee shall be the sole authorized
representative of the City. Other than in matters of public safety or in time of emergency
management, the Contractor shall not take direction or act upon information from any City
personnel other than the City Manager's expressly authorized designee(s).
13.02 One or more changes to the work within the general scope of the Contract, may be ordered by
Change Order. The City may also issue written directions for minor changes in the Work and
may issue Construction Change Directives, as set forth below. The Contractor shall proceed
with any such changes or Construction Change Directives without delay and in a diligent
manner, and same shall be accomplished in strict accordance with the following terms and
conditions:
13.03 Change Order shall mean a written order directed to the Contractor executed by the City after
execution of the Contract, directing a change in the work. A Change Order may include a
change in the Contract Price, (other than a change attributable to damages for delay as
provided in Article 6 hereof), or the time for the Contractor's performance, or any combination
thereof. Where there is a lack of total agreement on the terms of a Change Order or insufficient
time to execute a bilateral change, the City may also direct a change in the Work in the form of
a Construction Change Directive, which will set forth the change in the Work and the change, if
any, in the Contract Price or time for performance, for subsequent inclusion in a Change Order;
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT Page 15 of 25
Construction Change Directives shall include a not-to-exceed preliminary price, against which
the Contractor may begin billing (subject to the requirements for pay applications elsewhere
herein) as the work is performed.
(1) The Contractor shall furnish a price breakdown, itemized as required and within the time
specified by the City, with any proposal for a contract modification.
(2) The price breakdown
(a) must include sufficient detail to permit an analysis of all costs for material, labor,
equipment and subcontracts, and
(b) must cover all work involved in the modification, whether the work was deleted,
added or changed.
(3) The Contractor shall provide similar price breakdowns to support any amounts claimed
for subcontracts.
(4) The Contractor's proposal shall include a complete justification for any time extension
proposed.
13.04 Any change in the Contract Price resulting from a Change Order shall be determined as follows:
(1) By mutual agreement between the City and the Contractor as evidenced by (a) the
change in the Contract Price being set forth in the Change Order, (b) such change in the
Contract Price, together with any conditions or requirements relating thereto, being
initialed by both parties and (c) the Contractor's execution of the Change Order; or,
(2) If no mutual agreement occurs between the City and the Contractor, the change in the
Contract Price, if any, shall be derived by determining the reasonable actual costs
incurred or savings achieved, resulting from revisions in the work. Such reasonable
actual costs or savings shall include a component for direct job site overhead and profit
but shall not include home-office overhead or other indirect costs or components. The
calculation of actual costs shall conform to the markup schedule in Section 13.07 below.
Any such costs or savings shall be documented in the format, and with such content and
detail as the City requires.
The Contractor shall promptly submit such documentation and other backup as the City may
require in evaluating the actual costs incurred or to be incurred.
13.05 The execution of a Change Order by the Contractor shall constitute conclusive evidence of the
Contractor's agreement to the ordered changes in the work, the Contract as thus amended, the
Contract Price and the time for performance by the Contractor, regardless of the nature, amount
or extent of the changes. The Contractor, by executing the Change Order, waives and forever
releases any claim against the City for additional time or compensation for matters relating to,
arising out of or resulting from the work included within or affected by the executed Change
Order of which the Contractor knew or should have known;
13.06 The Contractor shall notify and obtain the consent and approval of the Contractor's surety with
reference to all Change Orders if such notice, consent or approval are required by the City, the
Contractor's surety or by law. The Contractor's execution of the Change order shall constitute
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING SHELL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT, Page 16 of 25
the Contractor's warranty to the City that the surety has been notified of, and consents to, such
Change Order and the surety shall be conclusively deemed to have been notified of such
Change Order and to have expressly consented thereto.
13.07 For the purpose of Change Orders, the following definitions of terms and other restrictions
apply:
Contractor's or Subcontractor's Materials shall include the cost of materials, sales tax,
and the cost of all transport. The cost of items listed shall be directly related to the
Change Order. Indirect costs not specifically related to the Change Order shall not be
considered.

+ Contractor's Direct Labor Costs
+ Contractor's Equipment Costs (includes owned/rental equipment)1
Owned Eguipment For equipment owned by the Contractor, actually used in Change Order work including sales tax, or any related
business entity, regardless of whether Contractor leases such equipment from the related business entity, the cost shall be the lesser of (i)
the Contractor's actual ownership cost, or (ii) 85% of the applicable ownership cost listed in the most recent edition of the Contractor's
Equipment Cost Guide, published by Dataquest.
Third ~Rental Eguipment For equipment actually rented by the Contractor, actually used in Change Order work including sales tax,

13.08 Nothing Contained in this Article shall be deemed to contradict or limit the terms of Section 6.05
above.
ARTICLE 14. DISCOVERING AND CORRECTING DEFECTIVE OR INCOMPLETE WORK

work. In such event, the Contract Price shall be reduced by the greater of (1) the reasonable
costs of removing and correcting the defective or nonconforming work, or (2) the difference
between the fair market value of the Project as constructed and the fair market value of the
Project had it not been constructed in such a manner as to include defective or nonconforming
work. If the remaining portion of the unpaid Contract Price, if any, is insufficient to compensate
the City for the acceptance of defective or nonconforming work, the Contractor shall, upon
written demand from the City, pay the City such remaining compensation for accepting defective
or nonconforming work. The Contractor shall have an opportunity to correct any defect or non
conformance prior to the City taking the above actions. The contractor, upon written notice of
