00800 CONTRACT
CONTRACT
THIS CONTRACT is entered into this _~~day of 'J G{ / 2009
(Effective Date), by and between the CITY OF MIAMI BEA ,apolitical
subdivision of the State of Florida, hereinafter referred to as CITY, and
THERMAL CONCEPTS, INC., hereinafter referred to as CONTRACTOR.
W I T N E S S E T H, that CONTRACTOR and CITY, for the
considerations hereinafter named, agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
SCOPE OF WORK
1.1. The scope of work under this Contract shall be determined by individual
Job Orders issued hereunder. Upon receipt of a Notice to Proceed, the
CONTRACTOR shall furnish any and all labor, materials, equipment,
services and incidentals necessary to perform all of the work for the
Project described in the Job Order.
ARTICLE 2
CONTRACT TIME
2.1. This Contract shall be for an initial term of one (1) year, commencing upon
the Effective Date. The Contract may be renewed, at the City's option, for
four (4) additional twelve (12) month terms, subject to the requirements of
Section 3 of the JOC Supplemental Conditions. The Maximum Contract
Duration shall be no more than five (5) years, or when the Maximum Not
to Exceed Contract Value is reached, whichever is first
2.1.1. Once the Contract is in place, individual Job Orders will be issued
through Blanket Purchase Orders and Notices to Proceed, issued
by the Contract Administrator. The time for completion of
individual Job Orders will be contained in the Notice to Proceed.
CONTRACTOR shall not begin work without a signed Blanket
Purchase Order and Notice to Proceed.
2.2. Time is of the essence throughout this Contract. Job Orders shall be
substantially completed within the specified calendar days listed on each
individual Notice to Proceed, and completed and ready for final payment in
accordance with Article 5 hereof within the time specified on each
individual Notice to Proceed.
Contract
Project Manual
2.3. Liquidated Damages may be applied to individual Job Orders at the
discretion of the CITY. The dollar amount(s) relative to Liquidated
Damages are not intended to be applied as penalties, but rather to be
applied as damages to the CITY for its inability to obtain full beneficial
occupancy and/or use of the Project. Liquidated Damages on construction
projects other than streetscape or utility aroiects are hereby fixed at
$1,000 per day and agreed upon between the parties, recognizing the
impossibility of precisely ascertaining the amount of damages that will be
sustained by the CITY as a consequence of such delay, and both parties
desiring to obviate any question of dispute concerning the amount of said
damages and the cost and effect of the failure of the CONTRACTOR to
complete the Project on time.
2.3.1 Liquidated Damages relative to a streetscape or utility
project. The additional cost realized by the CITY consists of the
following components:
Additional construction administration by CITY, Program
Manager, and/or Consultant.
Additional resident observation by CITY and/or Program
Manager.
Loss of use of facilities, including, without limitation, loss of
parking revenue, sidewalk cafe fees, etc.
The cost realized by the CITY for extended Project milestone completion
consists of the sum of the Program Management (PM) fee; the City
Construction Management (CM) cost; additional Consultant fees that
would be incurred by the CITY for each day that the Project completion is
delayed; and those costs realized by the CITY for loss of facility use.
It is estimated that the PM component of CITY incurred expense could
reasonably consist of one resident observer ($75 per hour for 8 hours per
day = $600), one Project Coordinator ($125 per hour for 4 hour per day =
$500), and one Project Administrator ($50 per hour for 4 hours per day =
$200). Hence, the estimated PM component of the liquidated damage
value to be used on streetscape or utility projects would be $1,300
per day.
It is estimated that the Construction Management component of CITY
incurred expense would be based on the recognized rate of 4% of total
Project cost. Hence, a $5,000,000 Project that has construction duration of
300 working days would result in a CM cost component of $800 per day.
This value will vary by Project.
Loss of Parking Revenue: If applicable, will be incorporated in the Job
Order/Notice to Proceed.
Contract
2.4. CITY is authorized to deduct liquidated damages from monies due to
CONTRACTOR for the Work under the Job Order or as much thereof as
CITY may, in its sole discretion, deem just and reasonable.
Project Manual
2.5. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for reimbursing CITY, in addition to
liquidated damages, for all costs incurred by the CITY in administering the
construction of the Project beyond the completion date specified in the
Notice to Proceed, plus approved time extensions. All such costs shall be
deducted from the monies due CONTRACTOR for performance of Work
under the Job Order by means of unilateral credit change orders issued by
CITY as costs are incurred.
ARTICLE 3

Exceed Contract Value for ITB No. 25-08/09 -MECHANICAL is Five

requests for retainage reduction shall be in writing in a separate stand-

5.1. Upon receipt of written notice from CONTRACTOR that the Project is
ready for final inspection and acceptance, CITY shall, within ten (10)
calendar days, make an inspection thereof. If the CITY finds that the Work
is acceptable; the requisite documents have been submitted; the
requirements of the Contract Documents have been fully satisfied; and all
conditions of the permits and regulatory agencies have been met, a Final
Certificate of Payment (Form 00922) shall be issued by CITY stating that
the requirements of the Contract Documents have been performed and
the Work is ready for acceptance under the terms and conditions thereof.

affidavit certifying that all suppliers and subcontractors have been paid in
full and that all other indebtedness connected with the Work has been
paid; a consent of the surety to final payment; the final corrected as-built
drawings; and a final invoice.
5.3. If, after the Work has been substantially completed, full completion thereof
is materially delayed through no fault of CONTRACTOR, and the CITY so
certifies, CITY shall, upon certification of the CITY and without terminating
the Job Order, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the
Work fully completed and accepted. Such payment shall be made under
the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of claims.
5.4. Final payment shall be made only after the City Manager or his designee
has reviewed a written evaluation of the performance of CONTRACTOR
(prepared by the Contract Administrator) and approved final payment. The
acceptance of final payment by CONTRACTOR shall constitute a waiver
of all claims by CONTRACTOR, except those previously made in strict
accordance with the provisions of the General Conditions and identified by
CONTRACTOR as unsettled at the time of application for final payment.
