TIME FOR CONTRACTOR'S PERFORMANCE; DELAYS 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 210 calendar days following the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Contract Time"). Contractor shall document 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 For each and every calendar day of unexcused delay in achieving Substantial Completion beyond the date set forth herein for Substantial Completion, the Contractor shall pay the City the sum per day (or said per -day sum shall be deducted from the monies due the Contractor) as set forth in the following schedule: AMOUNT OF CONTRACT AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES Less than $25,000.00 $100.00 $25,000.00 to $99,999.99 $160.00 $100,000.00 to $999,999.99 $240.00 Per Day Per Day Per Day 36 More than $1,000,000.00 $500.00 Per Day 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 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 Contract 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 section by'giving written notice to the City Manager within 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 37 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 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. Section 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 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 Section 6 and as set forth here: (1) On or before the 10`h 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 38 request payment for 90% of that part of the Contract Price allocable to Contract requirements properly provided, labor, materials and equipment properly incorporated in 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 39 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 Contract 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. 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 40 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. Section 7. INFORMATION AND MATERIAL SUPPLIED BY THE CITY 7.01 The City has furnished to the Contractor, prior to the execution of this Contract 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 of any part of the Work under the Contract, whether or not changed as a result of such conditions, an adjustment shall be made, through negotiation and mutual agreement, and the contract modified in writing accordingly. Section 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 41 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 section shall be in addition to the City's ability to remove portions of the Work from the Contract and complete it separately.

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 43 from the Contract unless the City has been specifically informed of the deviation by a writing 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. The City shall have no duty to review partial submittals or incomplete submittals. The Contractor shall have the duty to carefully review, inspect, examine and physically stamp and sign any and all submittals before submission of same to the City. 9.10 The Contractor shall maintain the Project site and adjacent areas affected by its work and/or the acts of its employees, materialmen and subcontractors in a reasonably clean condition during performance of the work.

This obligation shall be in addition to the requirements of Section 10 herein. The City may direct the Contractor to remedy known violations of applicable laws, rules, regulations, and interpretations related to safety when and if observed on the site. However, through exercising this 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.

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.

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 Section 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. Section 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 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. 46 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.

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 Section 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; 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 47 (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 supporting materials 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 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.

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 any defect or non-conformance, shall have 10 calendar days to make corrections, unless the City agrees that the correction will require more than 10 calendar days to correct.

If the Contractor fails to file a termination claim within six months from the effective date of termination, the City shall pay the Contractor, an amount derived in accordance with subsection (3) below. (2) The owner and the Contractor may agree to the compensation, if any, due to the Contractor hereunder. (3) Absent agreement to the amount due to the Contractor, the owner shall pay the Contractor the following amounts: (a) Contract costs for labor, materials, equipment and other services accepted under the Contract; (b) Reasonable costs incurred in preparing to perform and in performing the terminated portion of the work, and in terminating the Contractor's performance, plus a fair and reasonable allowance for direct job site overhead and earned profit thereon (such profit shall not include anticipated profit or consequential damages); provided however, that if it reasonably appears that the Contractor 51 would have not profited or would have sustained a loss if the entire Contract would have been completed, no profit shall be allowed or included and the amount of compensation shall be reduced to reflect the anticipated rate of loss, if any; (c) Reasonable costs of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of subcontracts or orders pursuant to Subsection (3)(a) above—if contingent assignment of such contracts has not been elected as provided herein—shall not include amounts paid in accordance with other provisions of the Contractor.

In such case, the Contractor shall not be paid further until the work is complete. After Completion has been achieved, if any portion of the Contract Price, as it may be modified hereunder, remains after the cost to the City of completing the work, including all costs and expenses of every nature incurred, has been deducted by the City, such remainder shall belong to the Contractor. Otherwise, the Contractor shall pay and make whole the City for such cost. This obligation for payment shall survive the termination of the Contract. In the event the employment of the Contractor is terminated by the City for cause pursuant to this Section 16.02 and it is subsequently determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction that such termination was without cause, such termination shall thereupon be deemed a Termination for Convenience under Section 16.01 and the provisions of Section 16.01 shall apply. 16.03 Termination for Non -Appropriation. The City may also terminate the Contract, in whole or in part, for non -appropriation of sufficient funds to complete or partially complete the Project, regardless of the source of such funds, and such termination shall be on the terms of Section 16.01. 16.04 The City's rights under this Section shall be in addition to those contained elsewhere herein or provided by law.

A. Work is to be done in accordance with City of Anna Standard Specifications. B. The work done under the contract documents shall consist of the following: FM 455 Utility Relocations - This project consists of the lowering and/or relocation of 6,500 ft of existing water lines and approximately 1,800 ft of existing sanitary sewer lines to avoid conflicts with the proposed paving and storm sewer facilities in response to the widening of FM 455 through the City of Anna.

After compaction, material shall be finished to the lines and grades as required by the City and finish rolled with a pneumatic tire roller. The material shall then be treated with a prime coat at a rate of .10 to .20 gallons per square yard as determined by the engineer. During this process material shall be protected from traffic until prime coat has cured. Material shall be covered with Hot Mix Asphaltic Pavement as soon as possible, but no longer than seven (7) calendar days. If material is not covered within required time limit, subgrade will be inspected by the City to determine if the contractor will be required to rework the entire section. 2.15 CEMENT STABILIZATION GENERAL INFORMATION: All Cement Stabilization shall be provided in accordance with TXDOT ITEM 275. 2.16 FLEXIBLE BASE GENERAL INFORMATION: All Flexible Base shall be provided in accordance with TXDOT ITEM 247. 2.17 ASPHALT ANTISTRIPPING AGENT: A. Description. This item shall govern for furnishing and blending an antistripping agent into the asphalt for use in asphaltic concrete pavement mixtures or asphalt stabilized base mixtures when designated on the plans and as directed by the Engineer. B. Materials. The anti -stripping agent shall be a uniform liquid at 77°F. It shall show no significant loss in effectiveness when the asphalt -agent blend is held for three days at 350° F. The anti -stripping agent shall be evaluated in laboratory mixtures with the materials and design proposed for use. Unless otherwise indicated in the plans, the mix shall be evaluated using Test Method Tex -531-C and must evidence a minimum tensile strength ratio of 0.70. The Test Method Tex -531-C Mixing and Molding procedures are amended for material provided under the Special Specification Item, "Hot Mix -Cold Laid Asphaltic Concrete Pavement' by mixing the design aggregates and the asphalt -primer blend (no water) at 2000 plus or minus 5° F, cooling at room temperature for 2.5 hours, curing mix a minimum of 15 hours at 140° F or until constant weight is attained, heating the mix specifications at 1000 plus or minus 5° F for two hours, and molding at 100° plus or minus 5° F. Plant mixes may be tested by the modified procedure starting with the curing step. The amount of agent used shall be 0.5 to 1.0 percent by weight of the 90 design asphalt, and the actual amount shall be determined based on the results of the evaluation. If plans notes indicate that the mix is to be evaluated using Test Method Tex -530-C, the following shall apply for the material provided under the Special Specification Item, "Hot Mix -Cold Laid Asphaltic Concrete Pavement". The Tex -530-C mixing procedure is amended in that the asphalt, primer (no water) and any anti -stripping agent is blended at 200° plus or minus 5° F, aggregates and binder mixed at 200° plus or minus 5° F, and the mix cured to constant weight at 140° F prior to performing the stripping test. Plant mix may be tested by curing to constant weight and performing the stripping test. As directed by the Engineer, additional samples of the mix produced for the construction item will be obtained during the progress of the work, and tested to determine the continued effectiveness of the asphalt -agent blend. If such testing indicates failure of the mix to meet the stripping resistance required, the Engineer will halt the work until such time as the problem has been corrected by any necessary change in design, materials or mix production. Prior to delivery, a sample of the anti -stripping agent proposed for use shall be furnished to the Department for testing. The anti -stripping agent shall be delivered in unbroken containers with the manufacturer's label properly affixed, or in sealed tank trucks properly invoiced. C. Construction Materials. Handling of the anti -stripping agent shall at all times be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The agent must not evidence any separation or non- uniformity at time of use. For agents that have high viscosity normal ambient temperatures, the Contractor shall provide a suitable means of warming the material to a proper consistency for blending with the asphalt. The agent shall be added to the asphalt at the rate determined in accordance with subsection B., above, by means of an in-line metering device just prior to introduction of the asphalt into the mixing plant. The equipment used must be approved by the Engineer. The Contractor will be required to demonstrate that the equipment is properly calibrated. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, a control section of asphaltic -concrete pavement containing no antistripping agent shall be placed. This control section shall be placed at the location and of the length shown on the plans. D. Measurement and Payment Work performed and materials furnished as prescribed by this Item will not be measured nor paid for directly, but shall be considered subsidiary to the governing specifications for the items of construction in which these materials are used. 2.18 SURFACE AND EDGE MILLING: The existing surface on designated streets will be milled to the depths and dimensions directed by the Engineer. It is not the intention to mill the original concrete base of the street, but concrete patches or other obstructions protruding above the original base and into the surface specified for removal will be milled to conform to the desired section. Variations in depth of milling operations shall not exceed 3/8 inch in the 91 finished surface prior to resurfacing. Surface milling and edge milling will be to depths as shown on the enclosed sketches. Milling round radii of intersections will be required where directed by the Engineer. Normal milling operations shall be conducted to the edge of all manholes, valves and other appurtenances encountered. If the milling machine can not accomplish this, then milling with hand tools or by other methods shall be employed. No separate compensation will be paid for any milling adjacent to appurtenances that is done with hand tools or by other methods. The milling machine shall self -load the milled material onto an adjacent hauling unit. Water or other approved liquid shall be sprayed on the material being milled to eliminate dust during the milling operation. Brooming and/or sweeping to remove any loose material not removed by the machine shall be conducted immediately behind the machine in an approved manner to the satisfaction of the Engineer. All milled surfaces shall be cleaned, inspected, measured, and approved before the application of the tack coat or asphaltic concrete mixture. Normal operations will require complete cleanup before the Contractor is allowed to leave the job. The Contractor will not be permitted to mill any street more than one week in advance of scheduled resurfacing. Lighted barricades will be placed around all exposed surface protrusions the same day they are exposed. Failure to observe these constraints may result in shutting down the work until they are satisfied. Surface milling will be measure for payment in square yards of surface milled regardless of the number of passes required to provide the specific section for SURFACE MILLING and in linear feet for EDGE MILLING. The contract unit prices shall be the total compensation for milling the surface, removal and disposal of the milled material, cleaning the milled area, and for all labor, equipment, and incidentals necessary to complete the work in accordance with this provision, the specifications and the attached details. These items will be bid on the basis that all milled material will be hauled and disposed of at the location designated by the Engineer for use by the City. The unit prices for SURFACE MILLING and EDGE MILLING will not be subject to renegotiation due to under -run of Contract quantities. 2.19 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT: The Contractor shall be free to secure the approved materials, equipment and articles from sources of his own selection. However, if the Owner finds that the work shall be delayed or adversely affected in any way because a selected source of supply cannot furnish a uniform product in sufficient quantity and at the time required and a suitable source does exist, or the product is not suitable for the work, the Owner shall have the right to require the original source of supply changed by the Contractor. The Contractor shall have no claim for extra cost or damage because of this requirement. The Contractor warrants to the Owner that all materials and equipment furnished under this Contract Agreement shall be new unless otherwise specified in the contract documents; and that same shall be of good quality and workmanship, free from faults and defects and in conformance with the contract documents. All materials and equipment not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions and not properly approved and authorized, may be considered defective, and shall be promptly repaired or replaced by the Contractor at the DY_: Contractor's sole cost upon demand of the Owner. If required by the Owner, the Contractor shall furnish evidence as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment. 2.20 WORKMANSHIP: The Contractor shall furnish the Owner with every reasonable facility for ascertaining whether or not the work performed was in accordance with the requirements and intent of the plans and specifications. Any work done (except excavation) or materials used without suitable inspection by the Owner may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor shall promptly correct or replace all work rejected by the Owner as defective or as failing to conform to the contract documents whether observed before or after substantial completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected work, including costs incurred for additional services necessary thereby. 2.21 REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE AND UNAUTHORIZED WORK: All work which has been rejected or condemned shall be repaired, or if it cannot be repaired satisfactorily, it shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense. Defective materials shall be immediately removed from the site of the work. Upon failure of the Contractor to repair satisfactorily or to remove and replace, if so directed, rejected, unauthorized or condemned work or materials, immediately after receiving notice to the Owner, the Owner shall, after giving written notice to the Contractor, have the authority to cause defective work to be remedied or removed and replaced, or to cause unauthorized work to be removed and to deduct the cost thereof from any monies due or to become due the Contractor. Alternatively, the Owner may, at its option, declare the Contractor in default, in which event the performance bond surety shall complete the contract. 2.22 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION: Contractor shall follow the Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System's General Permit TXR150000 for all SWPPP activities and provide inspection, maintain the SWPPP, submit NOI's /NOT's and notices to the Stormwater operator in accordance with that permit. 2.23 REMOVE AND DISPOSE OF EXISTING SS WETWELL: Contractor to remove wetwell, remove equipment, de -energize, backfill, and perform any other work associated with the removal and disposal of the existing SS wetwell.
