twenty -four months (24) from final acceptance.
2.9.2 Consultant Performance Evaluation The Consultant is advised that a
performance evaluation of the work rendered throughout this Agreement will be completed
by the City and kept in the City's files for evaluation of future solicitations.
2.10 The City shall have the right, at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, to submit for
review to other consultants (engaged by the City at its expense) any or all parts of the Services
and the Consultant shall fully cooperate in such review(s). Whenever others are required to
verify, review, or consider any work performed by Consultant (including, without limitation,
contractors, other design professionals, and /or other consultants retained by the City), the intent
of such requirement is to enable the Consultant to receive input from others' professional
expertise to identify any discrepancies, errors or omissions that are inconsistent with industry
standards for design or construction of comparable projects; or which are inconsistent with
Applicable Laws; or which are inconsistent with standards, decisions or approvals provided by
the City under this Agreement. Consultant will use reasonable care and skill, in accordance and
consistent with customary professional standards, in responding to items identified by other
reviewers in accordance with this subsection. Consultant shall receive comments from
reviewers, in writing, including, without limitation (and where applicable), via a set of marked -up
drawings and specifications. Consultant shall address comments forwarded to it in a timely
manner. The term "timely" shall be defined to mean as soon as possible under the
circumstances, taking into account the timelines of the Project Schedule.
2.11 [Intentionally Omitted]
2.12 Consultant agrees that when any portion of the Services relates to a professional service
which, under Florida Statutes, requires a license, certificate of authorization, or other form of
legal entitlement to practice and /or perform such Service(s), it shall employ and /or retain only
qualified duly licensed certified personnel to provide same.
2.13 Consultant agrees to designate, in writing, within five (5) calendar days after issuance of
the first Notice to Proceed, a qualified licensed professional to serve as its project manager
(hereinafter referred to as the "Project Manager"). The Project Manager shall be authorized and
PALM & HIBISCUS ISLANDS -C3TS CONTRACT 13 JUNE 2012
responsible to act on behalf of Consultant with respect to directing, coordinating and
administrating all aspects of the Services. Consultant's Project Manager (as well as any
replacement) shall be subject to the prior written approval of the City Manager or his designee
(who in this case shall be the Project Coordinator). Replacement (including reassignment) of an
approved Project Manager shall not be made without the prior written approval of the City
Manager or his designee (i.e. the Project Coordinator).
2.13.1 Consultant agrees, within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of written notice
from the City Manager or his designee (which notice shall state the cause therefore), to
promptly remove and replace a Project Manager, or any other personnel employed or
otherwise retained by Consultant for the Project ( including, without limitation, any sub -
consultants).
2.14 Consultant agrees not to divulge, furnish or make available to any third party(ies), any
non - public information concerning the Services or the Project, without the prior written consent
of the City Manager or his designee (who shall be the Project Coordinator), unless such
disclosure is incident to the proper performance of the Services; or the disclosure is required
pursuant to Florida Public Records laws; or, in the course of judicial proceedings, where such
information has been properly subpoenaed. Consultant shall also require its employees and
sub - consultants to comply with this subsection.
2.15 The City and Consultant acknowledge that the Services do not delineate every detail and
minor work task required to be performed by Consultant to complete its work on the Project. If,
during the course of performing of the Services, Consultant determines that work should be
performed to complete its work on the Project, and which is, in the Consultant's reasonable
opinion, outside the level of effort originally anticipated in the Scope of Services, Consultant
shall promptly notify the Project Coordinator, in writing, and shall obtain the Project
Coordinator's written consent before proceeding with such work. If Consultant proceeds with
any such additional work without obtaining the prior written consent of the Project Coordinator,
said work shall be deemed to be within the original Scope of Services, and deemed included as
a Basic Service (whether or not specifically addressed in the Scope of Services). Mere notice by
Consultant to the Project Coordinator shall not constitute authorization or approval by the City to
perform such work. Performance of any such work by Consultant without the prior written
consent of the Project Coordinator shall be undertaken at Consultant's sole risk and liability.
2.16 Consultant shall establish, maintain, and categorize any and all Project documents and
records pertinent to the Services and shall provide the City, upon request, with copies of any
PALM & HIBISCUS ISLANDS -C3TS CONTRACT 14 JUNE 2012
and all such documents and /or records. In addition, Consultant shall provide electronic
document files to the City upon completion of the Project.
2.17 The City's participation in the design and construction of the Project shall in no way be
deemed to relieve the Consultant of its professional duties and responsibilities under the
Contract Documents or under Applicable Laws.
2.18 GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS:
The Consultant shall comply with the requirements of Section 255.2575, Florida Statutes, and
Chapter 100 of the City Code, as both may be amended from time to time, addressing
applicable Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) compliance requirements.
2.19 SUB - CONSULTANTS: All services provided by sub - consultants shall be consistent with
those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive
solicitation selection process and interview. Such services shall be undertaken and performed
pursuant to appropriate written agreements between the Consultant and the sub - consultants,
which shall contain provisions that preserve and protect the rights of the City under this
Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship
between the City and the sub - consultants.
The Consultant shall not retain, add, or replace any sub - consultant without the prior written
approval of the City Manager, in response to a written request from the Consultant stating the
reasons for any proposed substitution. Any approval of a sub - consultant by the City Manager
shall not in any way shift the responsibility for the quality and acceptability by the City of the
services performed by the sub - consultant from the Consultant to the City. The quality of
services and acceptability to the City of the services performed by sub - consultants shall be the
sole responsibility of Consultant. The Consultant shall cause the names of sub - consultants
responsible for significant portions of the Services to be inserted on the plans and
specifications.

RIGHT OF WAY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
NEIGHBORHOOD NO. 13: PALM & HIBISCUS ISLANDS
CONSULTANT: Corzo Castella Carballo Thompson Salman (C3TS), (the "CONSULTANT ")
BACKGROUND
Midway between Miami and Miami Beach, off the MacArthur Causeway, are the Palm and
Hibiscus Islands of Miami Beach. These islands were created in the early 1920's, sand dredged
from the bottom of Biscayne Bay. With views of Miami Beach, downtown Miami, the Venetian
Islands, and the shipping channel to the south, these islands provide the setting for unique and
beautiful single - family residential neighborhoods.
On May 16, 2001, the City entered into a professional services agreement with EDAW, Inc.,
pursuant to Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 134- 99/00, for design and construction services
associated with Palm and Hibiscus Islands neighborhood improvement projects.
On May 3, 2002, the City Commission approved Resolution Number 2002 -24853 approving and
officially adopting the Basis of Design Report (BODR) for the Palm and Hibiscus Islands
Neighborhood Right of Way (ROW) Improvement Project (the Project). The BODR identified the
priority improvements that set the goals and objectives for the Project. These improvements
include the following:
-Enhanced landscaping / irrigation and street lighting
-Replacement of existing water main infrastructure
-Improved storm water drainage collection and disposal infrastructure including Swale
restoration, curb and gutter, backflow prevention devices and other facilities
-Street resurfacing / pavement markings
-Repair and /or extension of existing sidewalks to comply with ADA requirements
-incorporation of traffic calming features, consistent with community preferences
-Lining of Sewers
On October 11, 2006, the City terminated the referenced professional services agreement with
EDAW, Inc., pursuant to Resolution No. 2006 - 26345. EDAW, Inc. submitted the 30% design
documents to the City as part of the termination agreement and subsequently the project was
PALM & HIBISCUS ISLANDS -C3TS CONTRACT 34 JUNE 2012
placed on hold due to the inability of the Palm and Hibiscus residents to reach consensus
regarding the undergrounding of electrical services.
During this time, the Palm- Hibiscus -Star Islands Association (HOA) elected to pursue the
creation of a Special Taxing District with Miami -Dade County in order to finance the expense
associated with Its underground utilities project.
At its May 13, 2009 meeting, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2009 - 27065,
endorsing, as required pursuant to Section 18 -2 of the Miami -Dade County Code, the creation
by Miami -Dade County of a Special Taxing District in Palm Island and Hibiscus Island,
respectively, for the undergrounding of overhead utilities, subject to and contingent upon
compliance with and satisfaction of the requirements for the creation of Special Taxing Districts,
as set forth in Chapter 18 of the Miami -Dade County Code.
After successful petition drives and various required public hearings, the neighborhood's
registered voters elected to move forward with the underground project only for Hibiscus Island
(see attached Schedule "A -1" — Special Taxing District Boundary Map). Palm Island West
residents elected not to proceed with the underground project and Palm Island East already has
the undergrounding of the utilities. Pursuant to the said County election, on September 21,
2010, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Ordinance No 10 -51, creating and
establishing a special taxing described as the Hibiscus Island Overhead Improvement Special
Taxing District.
On April 11, 2012, the City Commission, adopted Resolution No. 2012 - 27890, which approved
an Inter -Local Agreement between the City and Miami -Dade County for the purpose of
reimbursing the City for the costs of the utility undergrounding scope of work.

below.
15.3. This Contract may be terminated for convenience in writing by City upon ten (10)

objection to the Application for Payment, then Contractor may, give written notice to City
and Consultant of such delay, neglect or default, specifying the same. If City or
Consultant (where applicable), within a period of ten (10) calendar days after such notice
shall not remedy the delay, neglect, or default upon which the notice is based, then
Contractor may stop work or terminate this Contract and recover from City payment for
all work executed and reasonable expenses sustained therein plus reasonable

within the limits of work covered by this Contract, the respective rights of the various
interests involved shall be established by the Contract Administrator to secure the
completion of the various portions of the work in general harmony.
19. Differing Site Conditions
In the event that during the course of the Work Contractor encounters subsurface or
concealed conditions at the Project site which differ materially from those shown on the
Contract Documents and from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as
inherent in work of the character called for in the Contract Documents; or unknown
physical conditions of the Project site, of an unusual nature, which differ materially from
that ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character
called for in the Contract Documents, Contractor , without disturbing the conditions and
before performing any work affected by such conditions, shall, within twenty -four (24)
hours of their discovery, notify City and Consultant in writing of the existence of the
aforesaid conditions. Consultant and City shall, within two (2) business days after
receipt of Contractor's written notice, investigate the site conditions identified by
Contractor. If, in the sole opinion of Consultant, the conditions do materially so differ and
cause an increase or decrease in Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, the
performance of any part of the Work, whether or not charged as a result of the
conditions, Consultant shall recommend an equitable adjustment to the Contract Price,
or the Contract Time, or both. If City and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in
the Contract Price or Contract Time, the adjustment shall be referred to Consultant for
determination in accordance with the provisions of Article 12. Should Consultant
determine that the conditions of the Project site are not so materially different to justify a
change in the terms of the Contract, Consultant shall so notify City and Contractor in
writing, stating the reasons, and such determination shall be final and binding upon the
parties hereto.
No request by Contractor for an equitable adjustment to the Contract under this
provision shall be allowed unless Contractor has given written notice in strict accordance
with the provisions of this Article. No request for an equitable adjustment or change to
the Contract Price or Contract Time for differing site conditions shall be allowed if made
after the date certified by Consultant as the date of substantial completion.

less or more than the original quantities of work, appropriate adjustments shall be
made by Change Order.

finds to be defective. If required by Consultant, Contractor shall promptly either
correct all defective work or remove such defective work and replace it with non -

accordance with the Contract Documents, Contractor , after receipt of written
notice from City, shall promptly correct such defective or nonconforming Work
within the time specified by City without cost to City, to do so. Nothing contained

other obligation which Contractor might have under the Contract Documents
including but not limited to, Article 23 hereof and any claim regarding latent
defects.
25.4. Failure to reject any defective work or material shall not in any way prevent later

work of any other persons, Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to
Consultant any defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper
execution and results. Contractor's failure to so inspect and report shall

reception of Contractor's Work, except as to defects which may develop in other
contractor's work after the execution of Contractor's.
28.3. Contractor shall conduct its operations and take all reasonable steps to

28.4. To insure the proper execution of subsequent work, Contractor shall inspect the
work already in place and shall at once report to Consultant any discrepancy
between the executed work and the requirements of the Contract Documents.
29. Use of Completed Portions
29.1. City shall have the right at its sole option to take possession of and use any
completed or partially completed portions of the Project. Such possession and
use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any of the Work not completed in
accordance with the Contract Documents. If such possession and use increases
the cost of or delays the Work, Contractor shall be entitled to reasonable extra
compensation or reasonable extension of time or both, as recommended by
Consultant and approved by City.
29.2. In the event City takes possession of any completed or partially completed
portions of the Project, the following shall occur:

32.1. As far as possible, all existing utility lines in the Project area have been shown on
the plans. However, City does not guarantee that all lines are shown, or that the
ones indicated are in their true location. It shall be the tractor

utilities, and damages suffered as a result thereof.
32.2. The Contractor shall notify each utility company involved at least ten (10) days

repairs made by the Contractor are to be made to the satisfaction of the utility
owner. All damaged utilities must be replaced or fully repaired. All repairs are to
be inspected by the utility owner prior to backfilling.

Consultant will be the sole judge of acceptability, and no substitute will be ordered,
installed, used or initiated without Consultant's prior written acceptance which will be
evidenced by either a Change Order or an approved Shop Drawing. However, any
substitution accepted by Consultant shall not result in any increase in the Contract Price
or Contract Time. By making a request for substitution, Contractor agrees to pay directly
to Consultant all Consultant's fees and charges related to Consultant's review of the
request for substitution, whether or not the request for substitution is accepted by
Consultant. Any substitution submitted by Contractor must meet the form, fit, function

scope of this Project must be accomplished by means of appropriate Field
Orders and Supplemental Instructions or Change Orders.
35.2. Any changes to the terms of the Contract Documents must be contained in a
written document, executed by the parties hereto, with the same formality and of

Contract as it applies to the items in question and make such arrangements as
may be deemed necessary to complete the disputed work; or submit the matter
in dispute to Consultant as set forth in Article 12 hereof. During the pendency of
the dispute, and upon receipt of a Change Order approved by City, Contractor
shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the
Consultant and Contract Administrator in writing within seven (7) calendar days
of Contractor's agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in
the Change Order for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Price

accordance with Article 12 hereof, if City and Contractor cannot otherwise agree.
IT IS EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY AGREED THAT ANY AND ALL
CLAIMS FOR CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT TIME OR CONTRACT PRICE

THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION.
PALM & HIBISCUS ISLANDS -C3TS CONTRACT 76 JUNE 2012
39.2. The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost on critical
Work items due to delays beyond the control of and through no fault or
negligence of Contractor if a claim is made therefore as provided in Section 39.1.
Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by any separate
contractor employed by City, fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics, abnormal
weather conditions or acts of God.
40. No Damages for Delay
No claim for damages or any claim, other than for an extension of time, shall be made or
asserted against City by reason of any delays except as provided herein. Contractor
shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or payment or compensation of
any kind from City for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or
damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising
because of delay, disruption, interference or hindrance from any cause whatsoever,
whether such delay, disruption, interference or hindrance be reasonable or
unreasonable, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable; provided,
however, that this provision shall not preclude recovery of damages by Contractor for
actual delays due solely to fraud, bad faith or active interference on the part of City or its
Consultant. Otherwise, Contractor shall be entitled only to extensions of the Contract
Time as the sole and exclusive remedy for such resulting delay, in accordance with and
to the extent specifically provided above.
41. Excusable Delay; Compensable: Non - Compensable
41.1 Excusable Delay. Delay which extends the completion of the Work and which is
caused by circumstances beyond the control of Contractor or its subcontractors,
suppliers or vendors is considered an Excusable Delay.
Contractor is entitled to a time extension of the Contract Time for each day the
Work is delayed due to Excusable Delay. Contractor shall document its claim for
any time extension as provided in Article 39 hereof.
Failure of Contractor to comply with Article 39 hereof as to any particular event of
delay shall be deemed conclusively to constitute a waiver, abandonment or
relinquishment of any and all claims resulting from that particular event of delay.
Excusable Delay may be compensable or non - compensable:
(a) Compensable Excusable Delay. Excusable Delay is compensable when (i)
the delay extends the Contract Time, (ii) is caused by circumstances
beyond the control of the Contractor or its subcontractors, suppliers or
vendors, and (iii) is caused solely by fraud, bad faith or active interference
on the part of City or its agents. In no event shall Contractor be
compensated for interim delays which do not extend the Contract Time.
Contractor shall be entitled to direct and indirect costs for Compensable
Excusable Delay. Direct costs recoverable by Contractor shall be limited to the
actual additional costs allowed pursuant to Article 38 hereof.
City and Contractor recognize and agree that the amount of Contractor's precise
actual indirect costs for delay in the performance and completion of the Work is
impossible to determine as of the date of execution of the Contract Documents,
PALM & HIBISCUS ISLANDS -C3TS CONTRACT 77 JUNE 2012
and that proof of the precise amount will be difficult. Therefore, indirect costs
recoverable by the Contractor shall be liquidated on a daily basis for each day
the Contract Time is delayed due to a Compensable Excusable Delay. These
liquidated indirect costs shall be paid to compensate Contractor for all indirect
costs caused by a Compensable Excusable Delay and shall include, but not be
limited to, all profit on indirect costs, home office overhead, acceleration, loss of
earnings, loss of productivity, loss of bonding capacity, loss of opportunity and all
other indirect costs incurred by Contractor. The amount of liquidated indirect
costs recoverable shall be one thousand four hundred dollars ($1,400) per
day for each calendar day the Contract is delayed due to a Compensable
Excusable Delay.
(b) Non - Compensable Excusable Delay. When Excusable Delay is (i) caused
by circumstances beyond the control of Contractor, its subcontractors,
suppliers and vendors, and is also caused by circumstances beyond the
control of the City or Consultant, or (ii) is caused jointly or concurrently by
Contractor or its subcontractors, suppliers or vendors and by the City or
Consultant, then Contractor shall be entitled only to a time extension and
no further compensation for the delay.
42. Substantial Completion
When Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof designated by City
pursuant to Article 29 hereof, has reached Substantial Completion, Contractor shall so
notify City and Consultant in writing. Consultant and City shall then promptly inspect the
Work. When Consultant, on the basis of such an inspection, determines that the Work
or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, it will then prepare a Certificate
of Substantial Completion in the form attached hereto as Form 00925 which shall
establish the Date of Substantial Completion; shall state the responsibilities of City and
Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance;
and shall list all Work yet to be completed to satisfy the requirements of the Contract
Documents for Final Completion. The failure to include any items of corrective work on
such list does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all of the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents. Warranties required by the Contract
Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or
designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial
Completion. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to City through
the Contract Administrator and Contractor for their written acceptance of the
responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate.
43. No Interest
Any monies not paid by City when claimed to be due to Contractor under this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, any and all claims for contract damages of any
type, shall not be subject to interest including, but not limited to prejudgment interest.
However, the provisions of City's prompt payment ordinance, as such relates to
timeliness of payment, and the provisions of Section 218.74(4), Florida Statutes (1989)
as such relates to the payment of interest, shall apply to valid and proper invoices.

Documents.
44.2. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the Project Initiation Date specified in the
Notice to Proceed, Contractor shall submit to Consultant a complete list of
preliminary data on items for which Shop Drawings are to be submitted and
shall identify the critical items. Approval of this list by Consultant shall in no way
relieve Contractor from submitting complete Shop Drawings and providing
materials, equipment, etc., fully in accordance with the Contract Documents.
This procedure is required in order to expedite final approval of Shop Drawings.
44.3. After the approval of the list of items required in Section 44.2 above, Contractor

every copy shall show this approval thereon.
44.5. If the Shop Drawings show or indicate departures from the Contract
requirements, Contractor shall make specific mention thereof in its letter of
transmittal. Failure to point out such departures shall not relieve Contractor
from its responsibility to comply with the Contract Documents.
44.6. Consultant shall review and approve Shop Drawings within fourteen (14)
calendar days from the date received, unless said Drawings are rejected by
Consultant for material reasons. Consultant's approval of Shop Drawings will be
general and shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for the accuracy of
such Drawings, nor for the proper fitting and construction of the work, nor for the
furnishing of materials or work required by the Contract Documents and not
indicated on the Drawings. No work called for by Shop Drawings shall be
performed until the said Drawings have been approved by Consultant. Approval
shall not relieve Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions of any sort
on the Shop Drawings.
44.7. No approval will be given to partial submittals of Shop Drawings for items which
interconnect and /or are interdependent where necessary to properly evaluate
the design. It is Contractor's responsibility to assemble the Shop Drawings for
all such interconnecting and /or interdependent items, check them and then
make one submittal to Consultant along with its comments as to compliance,
noncompliance, or features requiring special attention.
44.8. If catalog sheets or prints of manufacturers' standard drawings are submitted as
Shop Drawings, any additional information or changes on such drawings shall
be typewritten or lettered in ink.

SWORN STATEMENT UNDER SECTION
287.133(3) (a), FLORIDA STATUTES ON
PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES
THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY
PUBLIC OR OTHER OFFICER AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.

And (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is 65- 00394393
(If the Entity has no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual
signing this sworn statement: ).
I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida
Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and
directly related to the transaction of business with any business with any public entity or
with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including,
but not limited to, any bid or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public
entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and
involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material
misrepresentation.
I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(b), Florida
Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an
adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought
by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, nonjury trial, or
entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1)(a), Florida Statutes,
means:
1) A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
2) An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the
management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime.
The term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the
management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting
a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income
among persons when not for fair market value under an arm's length agreement,
shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person
who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted
of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be
considered an affiliate.
I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(e), Florida Statutes

means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United
States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which bids or applies to bid
on contracts for the provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise
transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term "person" includes
those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and
agents who are active in management of an entity.
Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in
relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement. [Indicate which statement applies.]
X Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any officers, directors,
executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are
active in neither the management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity has
been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,
1989.
The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors,
executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members or agents who are active
in management of the entity or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and
convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989.
The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors,
executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are
active in the management of the entity or an affiliate of the entity has been charged
with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989. However,
there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of
Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the
hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity
submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor list. [Attach a copy of
the final order]
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING

within the time specified; or fails to perform the Project with sufficient workers and
equipment or with sufficient materials to insure the prompt completion of the Project, in
accordance with the Contract Documents and schedules; or shall perform the Work
30
unsuitably, or cause it to be rejected as defective and unsuitable; or shall discontinue
the prosecution of the Project, except for excused delays in accordance with this
Agreement; or if DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall become insolvent or be declared bankrupt,
or commit any act of bankruptcy or insolvency, or shall make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors; or shall not carry on the Project in accordance with the Contract
Documents, then the CITY shall give notice, in writing, to DESIGN /BUILD FIRM and its
surety of such delay, neglect or default, specifying the same. If DESIGN /BUILD FIRM,
within a period of ten (10) calendar days after such notice, shall not proceed in
accordance therewith, then CITY may, upon written notice from the Contract
Administrator of the fact of such delay, neglect or default and DESIGN /BUILD FIRM's
failure to comply with such notice, terminate the services of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM,
exclude DESIGN /BUILD FIRM from the Project site, and take the prosecution of the
Project out of the hands of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM, as appropriate, or use any or all
materials and equipment on the Project site as may be suitable and acceptable, in the
City's reasonable discretion. In such case, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall not be entitled to
receive any further payment until the Project is finished. In addition, CITY may enter into
an agreement for the completion of the Project according to the terms and provisions of
the Contract Documents, or use such other methods as in its opinion shall be required
for the completion of the Project in an acceptable manner. All damages, costs and
charges incurred by CITY shall be deducted from any monies due or which may
become due to said DESIGN /BUILD FIRM. Actions will be instituted to recover on the
posted bonds. In case the damages and expense so incurred by CITY shall be less than
the sum which would have been payable under this Agreement, if it had been
completed by said DESIGN /BUILD FIRM, then DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall be entitled
to receive the difference. If such damages and costs exceed the unpaid balance, then
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall be liable and shall pay to CITY the amount of said excess.
18.02 If, after Notice of Termination of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM's right to proceed, it is
determined for any reason that DESIGN /BUILD FIRM was not in default, the rights and
obligations of CITY and DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall be the same as if the notice of
termination had been issued pursuant to the Termination for Convenience clause, as
set forth in Section 18.03 below.
18.03 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the performance of work
under this Agreement may be terminated in writing by CITY, for convenience and
without cause, upon ten (10) business days from the date of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S
receipt of the written notice to DESIGN /BUILD FIRM of intent to terminate and the date
on which such termination becomes effective. In such case, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall
be paid for all work and reimbursables executed, and expenses incurred, such as
materials stored, cost of severance of leases /contracts directly associated with the
Project, and demobilization prior to termination. PAYMENT SHALL INCLUDE
REASONABLE PROFIT FOR SERVICES ACTUALLY PERFORMED IN FULL PRIOR
TO TERMINATION DATE, BUT SHALL EXCLUDE ALL LOST PROFITS, INDIRECT
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES.
31
18.04 Upon receipt of Notice of Termination pursuant to Sections 18.01 or 18.03 above,
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall, at its sole cost and expense and as a condition precedent
to any further payment obligation by the CITY, promptly discontinue all affected work,
unless the Notice of Termination directs otherwise, and deliver to CITY within seven (7)
calendar days of termination, all data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates,
summaries and such other information as may have been required by the Contract
Documents, whether completed or in process. Compensation shall be withheld until all
documents are provided to CITY pursuant to this Article.
ARTICLE 19 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S RIGHT TO STOP WORK
OR TERMINATE CONTRACT
19.01 If the Project should be stopped under an order of any court or other public
authority for a period of more than ninety (90) calendar days, through no act or fault of
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM or of anyone employed by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM; or if the
Contract Administrator should fail to review and approve or state in writing reasons for
non - approval of any requisition for payment within twenty (20) business days after it is
presented; or if CITY fails to pay DESIGN /BUILD FIRM within thirty (30) calendar days
after submittal of a proper requisition for payment, as approved by the Project Manager
or Contract Administrator (as applicable), then DESIGN /BUILD FIRM may give written
notice to CITY, through Contract Administrator, of such delay, neglect, or default,
specifying the same. If CITY , within a period of ten (10) business days after such
written notice, shall not remedy the delay, neglect, or default upon which notice is
based, then DESIGN /BUILD FIRM may stop work until payment is made, or terminate
this Agreement and recover from CITY payment for all Work executed and reasonable
expense sustained, But excluding any claim for payments for lost profits, indirect,
special, consequential, or other damages.
ARTICLE 20 "OR EQUAL" CLAUSE
20.01 Whenever a material, article or piece of equipment is identified in the Contract
Documents, including without limitation, in the Plans and Specifications, by reference to
manufacturers' or vendors' names, trade names, catalog numbers, or otherwise, it is
intended merely to iestablish a standard and, unless it is followed by words indicating
that "no substitution is permitted," any material, article, or equipment of other
manufacturers and vendors which will perform or serve the requirements of the general
design will be considered equally acceptable provided the material, article or equipment
so proposed is, in the opinion of the Contract Administrator:
20.01.01 At least equal in quality, durability, appearance, strength and
design;
32
20.01.02 Performs at least equally the function imposed in the general
design for the Project;
20.01.03 Conforms substantially, even with deviations, to the detailed
requirements for the items as indicated by the Plans and Specifications; and
20.01.04 Carries the same guaranty or warranty of the specified equipment.
All substitution requests will be made via written request which shall be attached
to a shop drawing and /or Change Order which shall be attached to a detailed
description of the specified item and a detailed description of the proposed
substitution. A comparison letter itemizing all deviations from specified items
must be included for the Contract Administrator to properly evaluate substitution.
Failure to provide the deviation comparison sheet shall automatically deny the
request.
Any changes, inclusive of design changes, made necessary to accommodate
substituted equipment under this paragraph shall be at the expense of
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM.
20.02 Contract Administrator's written consent will be required as to acceptability, and
no substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without Contract Administrator's prior
written acceptance, which will be evidenced by either a Change Order or an accepted
shop drawing. CITY may require DESIGN /BUILD FIRM to furnish, at DESIGN /BUILD
FIRM'S expense, a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any
substitute.
ARTICLE 21 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
21.01 CITY, through its Contract Administrator, shall have the right to require
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM to modify the details of the Plans and Specifications, to
supplement same with additional plans, drawings, specifications, or additional
information as the Project proceeds which are within the specific intent and stated
scope of the Project and which do not cause increase in Contract Price or Contract
Time, all of which shall be considered as part of the Contract Documents, at no
additional cost to the CITY. All plans, general and detail, are to be deemed a part of this
Agreement, and the Plans and Specifications and other Contract Documents are to be
considered together, and are intended to be mutually complementary, so that any work
shown on the Plans, though not specified in the Specifications, and any work specified
in the Specifications though not shown on the Plans, is to be executed by
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM as part of the Contract Documents. All things which, in the
opinion of the Contract Administrator, may reasonably be inferred from the Contract
Documents, including, but not limited to, the Plans and Specifications, are to be
executed by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM under the terms of the Contract Documents; and the
33
Contract Administrator shall determine
C ete mine said Plans and Specifications conform
to the Contract Documents. In the event the work requested under this Article expands
the scope of the Project, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM may seek a Change Order pursuant to
Article 37.
ARTICLE 22 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM TO CHECK DRAWINGS AND DATA
22.01 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall take measurements and verify all dimensions,
conditions, quantities and details shown on the Plans and Specifications including, but
not limited to, the drawings, schedules, or other data. Failure to discover or correct
errors, conflicts or discrepancies shall not relieve DESIGN /BUILD FIRM of full
responsibility for unsatisfactory work, faulty construction, or improper operation resulting
therefrom, nor from rectifying such condition at DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S own expense.
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM will not be allowed to take advantage of any error or omissions.
34
ARTICLE 23 WARRANTY
23.01 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM warrants to CITY that all Materials and equipment
furnished for the Project will be new unless otherwise specified and that all Work for the
Project will be of good quality, free from faults and defects and in conformance with the
Contract Documents. The standard of quality shall be at least that employed by similarly
qualified design /build firms that are duly qualified and licensed to perform similar
projects. All Work for the Project not conforming to these requirements, including
substitutions not properly approved and authorized, may be considered defective. If
Materials or equipment are improperly stored and become altered as a result of such
improper storage, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall replace said Materials and /or equipment
with new ones at no additional cost. DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall be responsible for
proper storage and safeguarding of all Materials and equipment. If required by the
Contract Administrator, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to
the kind and quality of Materials and equipment. The warranty requirements set forth in
the Contract Documents as herein defined shall govern warranty terms and conditions
for all warranty items expressed or implied. The DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S warranty
period under this Article shall be one (1) year from the date of Substantial Completion of
the Project. However, this section shall not abridge the times or impede the rights and
remedies afforded the CITY against other entities or persons under the Contract
Documents, or by law.
ARTICLE 24 SUPPLEMENTARY DRAWINGS
24.01 When, in the opinion of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM and /or CITY, it becomes
necessary to explain more fully the Work to be done, or to illustrate the Project further to
show any changes which may be required, supplementary drawings, with specifications
pertaining thereto, will be prepared by the Consultant and submitted by DESIGN /BUILD
FIRM to the Contract Administrator for review and written acceptance.
24.02 The authorized supplementary drawings shall be binding upon DESIGN /BUILD
FIRM with the same force as the Contract Documents. Where such supplementary
drawings require either less or more than the estimated quantities of work, appropriate
adjustments shall be made pursuant to Change Order.
ARTICLE 25 rThis Article left intentionally blankl
ARTICLE 26 GENERAL WORKMANSHIP
26.01 Articles, materials, and equipment specified or shown on drawings shall be new
and shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned, and conditioned for
proper forming, as per the manufacturer's directions. DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall, if
35
required, furnish satisfactory evidence as to kind and quality of the materials. Should
materials arrive to the jobsite new and be improperly stored and deteriorate from new
condition, the materials shall be replaced at no additional cost to CITY.
26.02 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall apply, install, connect, and erect manufactured items
or materials according to recommendations of manufacturer when such
recommendations are not in conflict with the Contract Documents. If there is conflict
between manufacturer recommendations and the Contract Documents, Contract
Administrator shall be notified and shall approve, in writing, any corrective actions prior
to implementation of same.
ARTICLE 27 DEFECTIVE WORK
27.01 Contract Administrator shall have the authority to reject or disapprove Work for
the Project which Contract Administrator finds to be defective. Defective work is defined
as Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents; not in conformance with
Applicable Laws; installed in violation of the manufacturer's written instructions where
the installation has caused new materials to be detrimentally affected; where the life
expectancy of the material installed is reduced; or otherwise installed in a non -
workmanlike manner. If required by Contract Administrator, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall
promptly either (as directed) correct all defective work or remove it from the Project site,
and replace it with non - defective work. DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall bear all costs of
such removal or correction.
27.02 If, within one (1) year after Substantial Completion, any Work is found to be
defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM
shall correct it promptly without cost to CITY, after receipt of written notice from CITY to
do so, unless CITY has given DESIGN /BUILD FIRM a written acceptance of such
conditions. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to establish a period of
limitation with respect to any other obligation which DESIGN /BUILD FIRM might have
under Applicable Laws.
27.03 Should DESIGN /BUILD FIRM fail or refuse to remove or correct any defective
work performed for the Project, or to make any necessary repairs in an acceptable
manner and in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement within a reasonable
time, indicated in writing, CITY shall have the authority to cause the unacceptable or
defective work to be removed or corrected, or make such repairs as may be necessary,
to be made at DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S expense. Any expense incurred by CITY in
making these removals, corrections or repairs, which DESIGN /BUILD FIRM has failed
or refused to make shall be paid for out of any monies due or which may become due to
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM, or may be charged against the bond (or other guaranty if
applicable). Continued failure or refusal on the part of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM to make
any or all necessary repairs promptly, fully, and in acceptable manner shall be sufficient
cause for CITY to declare this Agreement terminated, in which case CITY, at its option,
36
may purchase Materials, tools, and equipment, and employ labor, or may contract with
any other individual, firm or corporation, or may proceed with its own forces, to perform
the work. All costs and expenses incurred thereby shall be charged against the
defaulting DESIGN /BUILD FIRM, and the amount thereof deducted from any monies
due, or which may become due, to DESIGN /BUILD FIRM, or shall be charged against
the bond (or other guaranty). Any special work performed, as described herein, shall not
relieve DESIGN /BUILD FIRM in any way from its responsibility for the work performed
by it.
27.04 Failure to reject an defective work or Materials shall not in an w p revent later
1 Y Y YP
rejection when such defect is discovered, or obligate CITY to final acceptance.
ARTICLE 28 SUBCONTRACTS
28.01 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall, at such times as DESIGN /BUILD FIRM decides
which Subcontractors will perform the various portions of the Work, promptly notify the
Contract Administrator, in writing, of the names of Subcontractors for the Project, and
identify the portion of the Work for the Project each will perform. DESIGN /BUILD FIRM
shall have a continuing obligation to notify the Contract Administrator of any change in
Subcontractors. Notification of the names of Subcontractors shall not relieve
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM from the primary responsibility, without limitation, of full and
complete satisfactory performance of all contractual obligations.
ARTICLE 29 SEPARATE CONTRACTS
29.01 CITY reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with this Project,
provided it does not interfere with DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S Work or schedule.
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall afford other contractors reasonable opportunity for the
introduction and storage of their materials and the execution of their work and shall
properly connect and coordinate its Work with theirs subject to provision of acceptable
insurance coverage, including DESIGN /BUILD FIRM as an additional insured. CITY will
request that its separate contractors coordinate their activities with the Work of the
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM.
29.02 If any part of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S Work depends for proper execution or
results upon the work of any other contractor or the CITY, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall
inspect and promptly report to the Contract Administrator any defects in such work that
render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S
failure to so inspect and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other contractor's
work as fit and proper for the reception of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S Work, except as to
defects which may develop in other contractor's work after the execution of
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S Work. However, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall not be responsible
37
or liable to CITY for any work performed by any other separate contractor not under the
auspices or control of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM.
29.03 To insure the proper execution of its subsequent Work, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM
shall inspect the work already in place and shall at once report to the Contract
Administrator any discrepancy between the executed work and the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
ARTICLE 30 CITY'S OPTION FOR USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS
30.01 In the event of Substantial Completion of a portion of the Project, which
determination and option shall be solely and exclusively within the CITY's
authority and discretion whether to allow and accept Substantial Completion of a
portion or portions of the Project (versus requiring Substantial Completion of the
entire Project at one time), CITY shall have the right to take possession of, for
maintenance and /or for use, of any such completed or partially completed portion(s) of
the Project. However, prior to any possession, a punch list will be issued for the area to
be occupied. Such possession and use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any
Work not completed in accordance with the Contract Documents. If such possession or
use delays the Project, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM may be entitled to a reasonable extension
of time as determined by Contract Administrator.
30.02 In the event CITY takes possession, the following shall occur:
30.02.01 CITY shall give notice to DESIGN /BUILD FIRM at least thirty (30)
calendar days in advance on intent to occupy a designated area.
30.02.02 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall bring the designated area to point of
Substantial Completion. When DESIGN /BUILD FIRM considers that the
designated area of the Project is substantially complete, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM
shall so notify the Contract Administrator, in writing, and shall prepare for
submission to the Contract Administrator a list of items to be completed or
corrected. The failure to include any items on such list does not alter the
responsibility of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM to complete work on the designated area
in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Contract Administrator shall
conduct an inspection to determine that the designated portion of the Project is
substantially complete. The Contract Administrator will then instruct
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM to deliver to CITY a Certificate of Occupancy (CO)
pertinent to the designated portion, which CO shall be issued by the appropriate
authority having jurisdiction over the Project. The Contract Administrator and
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall agree on the time within which DESIGN /BUILD FIRM
shall complete the items listed.
38
30.02.03 Upon issuance and acceptance of Certificate of Substantial
Completion, CITY will assume full responsibility for maintenance, utilities,
subsequent damages of CITY and public, adjustment of insurance coverages
and start of warranty for occupied area. DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall remain
responsible for all items listed to be completed or corrected as submitted to
Contract Administrator as required in Substantial Completion process.
30.02.04 If CITY finds it necessary to occupy or use a portion or portions of
the Project prior to Substantial Completion thereof, such occupancy or use shall
not commence prior to a time mutually agreed upon by CITY and
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM and to which the insurance company or companies
providing the property' insurance have consented by endorsement to the policy or
policies. This insurance shall not be canceled or lapsed on account of such
partial occupancy or use. Consent of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM and of the insurance
company or companies to such occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
ARTICLE 31 CONSTRUCTION AREA
31.01 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall use areas approved by the Contract Administrator for
deliveries and personnel. Contract limits of construction area are indicated on the
concept drawings as issued by the Contract Administrator. Equipment, materials, and
personnel shall be in conformance with this Contract.
31.02 To provide for maximum safety and security, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall erect
and maintain all necessary barricades, and any other temporary walls and structures as
required, and boarding or fencing to protect life and property during the period of
construction.
ARTICLE 32 LANDS FOR WORK
32.01 CITY shall provide, as indicated in the Contract Documents, the lands upon which
the Project is to be performed, rights -of -way and easements for access thereto and
such other lands as are designated for the use of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM. No claim for
damages or other claim other than for an extension of time shall be made or asserted
against CITY by reason of any delay arising as a result of any failure of CITY to provide
such lands on the date needed by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM. The provisions of Article 40
shall apply herein.
39
ARTICLE 33 LEGAL RESTRICTIONS AND TRAFFIC PROVISIONS
33.01 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall conform to all Applicable Laws with regard to labor
employed, hours of work, and DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S general operations.
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall also conduct its operations so as not to close any
thoroughfare, nor interfere in any way with traffic on streets, highways, sidewalks, or
other public right of ways without the written consent of the proper authorities.
ARTICLE 34 DAMAGE TO EXISTING FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR UTILITIES
34.01 Existing utilities have been shown in the Contract Documents insofar as
information is reasonably available; however, it will be DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S sole
responsibility to verify such information and to preserve all existing utilities, whether
shown in the Contract Documents or not. If utility conflicts are encountered by
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM during construction, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall re- design its
proposed improvements, at its sole cost, to avoid utility conflicts, and /or provide
sufficient notice to the owners of the utilities and compensate owners of the utilities, and
it shall be the sole responsibility of the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM to resolve any conflicts
and make all necessary adjustments, at no additional cost to the CITY.
34.02 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall exercise care and take all precautions during
excavation and construction operations to prevent damage to any existing facilities,
equipment, or utilities. Any damage caused by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall be reported
immediately to the Contract Administrator, and such work shall be repaired and /or
replaced by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM in a manner approved by CITY. All costs to repair
and /or replace any damage to existing facilities, equipment, or utilities shall be the sole
responsibility of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM, and such repair or replacement shall be
performed expeditiously without cost to CITY.
34.03 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall provide that type of required protection for finished
Work at all times and protect adjacent Work during cleaning operations, and make good
any damage resulting from neglect of this precaution.'
34.04 Protection of Work shall include protecting of Work that is factory finished, during
transportation, storage, during and after installation. Where applicable, and as required,
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall close off spaces of areas where certain Work has been
completed to protect it from any damages caused by others during their operations.
34.05 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall store Materials, and shall be responsible for and
shall maintain partly or wholly finished Work during the continuance of the Contract and
until the final acceptance of the Project. If any materials or part of the work should be
lost, damaged, or destroyed by any cause or means whatsoever, the DESIGN /BUILD
FIRM shall satisfactorily repair and replace the same at DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S own
cost. The DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall maintain suitable and sufficient guards, if
40
necessary, and barriers, and at night, suitable and sufficient lighting for the prevention
of accidents.
34.06 To all applicable sections where preparatory work is part of Work thereon,
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall carefully examine surfaces over which finished work is to be
installed, laid or applied, before commencing with the work. DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall
not proceed with said work until defective surfaces on which work is to be applied are
corrected to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator. Commencement of work shall
be considered acceptance of surfaces and conditions.
34.07 It will be the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S responsibility to preserve all existing utilities
within the Project limits or as otherwise affected by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM. If utility
conflicts are encountered by the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM during construction, it is
anticipated that DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall re- design its proposed improvements, at its
sole cost, so as to avoid utility conflicts, and /or provide sufficient notice to their owners
and compensate owners of the utilities from its funds so that they may make the
necessary adjustments. Damage to any utilities, which in the sole reasonable opinion of
the CITY is caused by negligence on the part of the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM, shall be
repaired at the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM'S expense.
ARTICLE 35 CONTINUING THE WORK
35.01 DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall carry on the Project and adhere to the CPM Project
Schedule during all disputes or disagreements with CITY, including disputes or
disagreements concerning a request for a Change Order, a request for a change in the
Contract Price or Contract Time. No work shall be delayed or postponed pending
resolution of any disputes or disagreements. The provisions of this Article shall be
subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 36 FIELD ORDERS AND SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS
36.01 The Contract Administrator shall have the right to approve and issue Field Orders
setting forth written interpretations of the intent of the Contract Documents to
Construction Manager and ordering minor changes in contract execution, providing the
Field Order involves no change in the Contract Price or the Contract Time._
36.02 The Contract Administrator shall have the right to approve and issue to
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM supplemental instructions setting forth the written orders,
instructions, or interpretations concerning the Contract Documents or performance
therein, provided they make no major changes in Contract execution and involve no
change in the Contract Price or the Contract Time.
41
ARTICLE 37 CHANGES IN THE WORK OR TERMS OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
37.01 Without invalidating the Contract and without notice to any surety, CITY
reserves, and shall have the right from time to time, to make such increases, decreases
or other changes in the character or quantity of the Work as may be considered
necessary or desirable to complete fully and acceptably the proposed construction in a
satisfactory manner. Any extra or additional work within the scope of this Project must
be accomplished by means of appropriate Field Orders and Supplemental Instructions,
or Change Orders.
37.02 Changes to the terms of the Contract Documents must be contained in a written
document, executed by the parties hereto, with the same formality and of equal dignity
prior to the initiation of any work reflecting such change. This section shall not prohibit
the issuance of Change Orders executed only by CITY as hereinafter provided.
37.03 The actual cost of the Payment and Performance Bond as a result of accepted
changes in the Work shall be added to or deducted from the cost of the changes in the
Work.
37.04 Notification of Change of Contract Time or Contract Price; Weather
37.04.01 Any claim for a change in the Contract Time or Contract Price shall
be made by written notice delivered by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM to the Contract
Administrator within five (5) calendar days of the commencement of the event
giving rise to the claim (which may include an occurrence or omission that
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM contends delays the Work, or receipt of an order,
instruction, Contract Administrator's supplemental information, or other directive
changing the Work, or any other occurrence that DESIGN /BUILD FIRM contends
causes a change in Contract Time or Contract Price) and stating the general
nature of the claim. Notice of the nature and elements of the claim shall be
delivered within twenty (20) calendar days after the date of such written notice.
Thereafter, within twenty (20) calendar days of the termination of the event giving
rise to the claim, notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be
delivered, unless Contract Administrator and DESIGN /BUILD FIRM allows an
additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim,
and shall be accompanied by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM's written statement that the
adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM
has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All
claims for adjustment in the Contract Time or Contract Price shall be determined
by Project Manager and Contract Administrator in accordance with Article 11
hereof, if Project Manager, Contract Administrator and DESIGN /BUILD FIRM
cannot otherwise agree. NO CLAIM FOR AN ADJUSTMENT IN THE
CONTRACT TIME OR CONTRACT PRICE WILL BE VALID UNLESS IT IS
SUBMITTED IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF
THIS SECTION.
42
37.04.02 The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost
due to delays beyond the control of and through no fault, negligence, or act or
omission of DESIGN /BUILD FIRM if a claim is made therefore as required by the
Contract. Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by any
separate contractor employed by CITY, fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics,
abnormal weather conditions, acts of God, or acts of terrorism.
37.04.03 Extensions to the Contract Time for delays caused by the effects of
inclement weather shall be submitted as a request for change in Contract Time
pursuant to this Article 37. These time extensions are justified only when rain or
other inclement weather conditions or related adverse soil conditions prevent
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM from productively performing controlling items of work;
identified on the accepted schedule or updates resulting in: (1) DESIGN /BUILD
FIRM being unable to work at least fifty percent (50 %) of the normal work day on
controlling items of work identified on the accepted CPM Project Schedule or
updates due to adverse weather conditions; or (2) DESIGN /BUILD FIRM must
make major repairs to the Work damaged by weather, provided the damage was
not attributable to a failure or neglect by DESIGN /BUILD FIRM, and provided that
DESIGN /BUILD FIRM was unable to work at least fifty percent (50 %) of the
normal work day on controlling items of work identified on the accepted CPM
Project Schedule or approved updates. No time extension will be allowed for
weekend rains unless the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM has been working weekends on
a regular basis on exterior Work.
37.04.04 The DESIGN /BUILD FIRM agrees and acknowledges that no
ground for an extension to the Contract Time or Contract Price shall arise as a
result of any reasonably foreseeable condition at the Project site, or as a result of
anything contained in the Contract Documents.
37.05 Change Orders
37.05.01 Changes in the quantity or character of the Work within the scope
of the Project which are not properly the subject of Field Orders or Supplemental
Instructions, including all changes resulting in changes in the Contract Price, or
the Contract Time, shall be authorized only by Change Orders approved and
issued by CITY to the extent permitted under this Agreement.
37.05.02 The Project Manager, as authorized by the Contract Administrator,
may initiate a Change Order request ( "Change Order Request "), setting forth in
detail the nature of the requested change. Upon receipt of a Change Order
Request, the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM shall review the Change Order Request with
the Project Manager and Contract Administrator prior to furnishing to the Project
Manager a statement setting forth in detail, with a suitable detailed breakdown in
Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format, including a breakdown of labor
43
and materials, the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM's estimate of the changes in the cost of
the Work and changes to any other Contract Price elements attributable to the
changes set forth in such Change Order Request, and proposed adjustments, if
any, to the Contract Time resulting from such Change Order Request. If the
Contract Administrator accepts such DESIGN /BUILD FIRM's estimate, a Change
Order shall be processed by the CITY and delivered to the DESIGN /BUILD FIRM
for execution. Agreement on any Change Order shall constitute a final settlement
on all items affected therein, including without limitation any adjustment in the
cost of the Work, DESIGN /BUILD FIRM's, Guaranteed Maximum Price, or the
Contract Time, subject to performance thereof and payment therefore pursuant
to the terms of this Contract and such Change Order. Changes in Contract Time
will only be considered by the CITY when Contractor provides sufficient
documentation delineating the daily impact to controlling items (Critical Path)
identified in the original approved CPM Project Schedule.
37.05.03 The DESIGN /BUILD FIRM's fee on such changes shall be a
percentage of the net change to the cost of the Work resulting from the Change
Order, not to exceed five percent (10 %).
Subcontractor's percentage markup on Change Orders for overhead and profit
shall be reasonable, but in no event shall the aggregate of the Subcontractor's
overhead and profit markups exceed five percent (7.5 %) of the Subcontractor's
cost of the Work. In the event Subcontractor is affiliated with the Contractor by
common ownership or management, or is effectively controlled by the Contractor,
no fee will be allowed on the Subcontractor's costs. In the event there is more
than one level of Subcontractor, such as second and third tier Subcontractors,
