Design/Builder shall maintain an accurate and precise horizontal and vertical record of the existing pavement conditions; final pavement conditions; and all pipe lines, conduits, structures, underground utility access portals, handholes, fittings, and similar items encountered or installed during construction. Design/Builder shall deliver these records in good order to the Contract Administrator as the Work is completed. These records shall serve as a basis for "as-built" drawings. The cost of all such field layout and recording work is included in the Contract Price. d. Final "as-built" drawings which accurately reflect the "as-built" conditions of the new facilities shall be supplied on compact discs ("CD"), not compressed, in a multi-layered, manipulable, Autodesk AutoCAD Version 2016 format (or the most current format then being used by the City) or other format specified by the City, and shall be delivered to the City upon Final Completion of the Project and prior to Final Progress Payment pursuant to Article 8, together with a final "as-built" critical path method schedule. If the Design/Builder or its Consultant prepares any of the Design Documents or Construction Documents on Building Information Modeling ("BIM") software, the Design/Builder shall furnish the City with such documents on CDs in multi-layered, manipulable format, along with notice of the specific version of the BIM software used to produce the documents. The verifiable evidence of progress with "as-built" information, as required by Article 8, shall be submitted on Mylar at least once a month to the Contract Administrator. These "as-built" drawings on Mylar and the latest version of the AutoCAD format media must be delivered and found to be acceptable to the City prior to the Final Progress Payment. e. The City requires two (2) paper copies of the as-built drawings, three (3) sets of CDs with CAD files of the as-built drawings, and three (3) sets of CDs with pdf files of the as- built drawings all of which shall be clearly legible. A copy or copies of each such document shall also be retained by the Design/Builder. The Design/Builder shall also comply with all other documentation requirements set forth in the Contract Documents. f. Within thirty (30) days of NTP, the Design/Builder shall inspect the Project Site and furnish to the City a certified line and grade survey, prepared by a surveyor licensed in the State of Florida in accordance with the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for Land Title Surveys adopted in 1999 by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress of Surveyors and Mappers, and a certified survey of the physical condition of the Project Site, prepared by a qualified engineering firm. 25 i. The line and grade surveys will locate and protect control points prior to starting site work, and will preserve all permanent reference points during construction. No changes or relocations will be made without prior written approval of the Contract Administrator. A written report shall be made to the Contract Administrator when any reference point is lost or destroyed, or requires relocation because of necessary changes in grades or locations. ii. The surveyor shall be required to replace Project control points which may be lost or destroyed. The surveyor shall be duly registered as a surveyor or mapper, as required by Florida law and any other Applicable Laws. Replacements shall be established based upon original survey control. iii. In addition, as part of the Work, the Design/Builder shall within thirty (30) days of the Substantial Completion Date, furnish to the City another certified survey of the Project Site (with the Project located thereon) prepared by a surveyor licensed in the State of Florida in accordance with the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for Land Title Surveys adopted in 1999 by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress of Surveyors and Mappers. 3.20.

In addition to the number of copies specified above in (a) through (i), the Design/Builder shall provide to the City six (6) copies of each document provided to the City (in its regulatory capacity) and all other governmental bodies in their role as regulatory agencies, simultaneously with their delivery to the City or such other governmental bodies. 3.21. Availability of Project Site. Subject to the terms herein, the City shall deliver the Project Site or parcels thereof (as depicted in Appendix "A" attached hereto) to the Design/Builder for purposes of commencing demolition, excavation, remediation and construction activities on the date described in the appropriate Notice to Proceed. a. Use of the Project Site or any other City-owned right-of-way for the purpose of storage of equipment or materials, lay-down facilities, pre-cast material fabrication, batch plants for the production of asphalt, concrete or other construction-related materials, or other similar activities, shall require advance written approval by the Project Coordinator. If approved by the City at its sole and absolute discretion, use of the Project Site or any other City-owned right- of- way for the foregoing storage purposes at any given point in time shall be expressly limited to equipment necessary for the then current and active prosecution of the Work and shall be comprised of no more than two (2) weeks' worth of materials or products to be incorporated as part of the Project within the next month, as noted in the most recent approved Project Schedule. The City may, at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, revoke or rescind such approval for any reason. Upon notice of such rescission, Design/Builder shall, within twenty- four (24) hours, remove and relocate any such materials and equipment to a suitable, approved location. b. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Contract Documents to the contrary, the conditions or requirements of right-of-way permits established by the authorities having jurisdiction including, without limitation any regulatory authorities of the City, shall take precedence over any provision in the Contract Documents that may provide any right 27 whatsoever to use of the Project Site for staging, material and equipment storage, lay-down or other similar activities. 3.22. Testing and Inspection; Responsibility. In addition to the tests and inspections provided for below and elsewhere in the Contract Documents, the City shall have the right (but not the obligation) at any time to inspect or test any portion of the Work or the Project. a. The Design/Builder shall perform and/or obtain all tests and inspections necessary to ensure the proper execution and completion of the Work including, without limitation, all tests and inspections provided for by the Contract Documents (including, but not limited, to any tests and inspections pursuant to Appendix E or by laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of governmental authorities, including the City). The Design/Builder shall make arrangements for tests and inspections conducted by any independent testing laboratory engaged by the City, or tests or inspections conducted by any agency having jurisdiction. The City's direct engagement of any independent testing laboratory or agency shall in no way be construed, interpreted or deemed as the City's assumption of any obligations or requirements of Design/Builder to ensure such testing and inspections are performed, to review and analyze the results thereof and to properly address any portions of the Work which fail to meet the acceptable standards or requirements for which such test or inspection was conducted to evaluate. Rather, the City's engagement of such independent testing laboratory or agency should be interpreted as for convenience of payment purposes only. The Design/Builder shall give the City timely notice of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so the City and/or the Resident Project Representative may observe such procedures. Inspections shall be made promptly and, where practicable, at the source of supply. If Work should be covered up without required inspection/approval, it must, if required by the Contract Administrator or Consultant, be uncovered for examination, and properly restored at Design/Builder's expense. b. If the Contract Administrator determines that the Work, portions thereof, or goods, materials or components required as provided for by the Contract Documents, require additional testing or inspection not included under the above paragraph, the City may instruct the Design/Builder to make arrangements for such additional testing or inspection (including uncovering the Work) as part of the stipulated Contract Price by an entity acceptable to the City, and the Design/Builder shall give timely notice to the City of when and where such tests and inspections are to be made so the City may observe such procedures. The City's presence during any such testing or inspections shall in no way be construed, interpreted and/or deemed to constitute acceptance of such testing or inspection (including the procedures implemented) or the results thereof. c. The Contract Administrator may order re-testing or re- inspection of Work (including uncovering thereof at any time in its sole discretion). If re-testing or re- inspection of Work is found to be in accordance with the Contract Documents, the City shall pay the cost of re- inspection, re-testing and replacement. If such Work is not strictly in accordance with the Contract Documents, Design/Builder shall pay such cost. 3.23. Local Conditions; Site Conditions. a. Local Conditions. The Design/Builder represents and warrants that it has taken all steps reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the Work, and that it has investigated and satisfied itself as to the general and local conditions which can affect the Project, the performance of the Work and/or the Project Site including, but not limited to i) conditions bearing upon transportation, disposal, handling, and storage of materials; ii) the 28 availability of labor, water, electric power, and roads; iii) uncertainties of weather and observable physical conditions at the Project Site or otherwise affecting the Project, including sub-tropical and/or coastal conditions in South Florida; iv) the adequacy of the Project Site for lay-down, storage and parking in accordance with Applicable Laws and permit requirements of agencies having jurisdiction; and v) the character of equipment and facilities needed prior to and during the performance of the Work. The Design/Builder agrees that it bears all risk associated with any general or local condition that can affect the Project, the Project Site and/or the performance of the Work. Any act or omission by the Design/Builder with respect to the actions described and acknowledged in this subsection will not relieve the Design/Builder from responsibility for properly estimating the difficulty and cost of successfully performing the Work, or as time is of the essence for proceeding to successfully perform the Work within the Project Schedule and the Contract Price. In confirmation and furtherance of the foregoing, the Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Project Schedule, the Substantial Completion Date or the Contract Price, based on general or local conditions affecting the Project, the Project Site and/or the performance of the Work, and the Design/Builder hereby waives and releases City from any and all Claims associated therewith. b. Site Conditions. The Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that it has satisfied itself as to what the Design/Builder anticipates will be the character, quality and quantity of soil, surface and subsurface materials or obstacles that may be encountered by the Design/Builder at the Project Site including, but not limited to, the nature or amount of any kind of soil material, the location of any utilities or structures on the Project Site, the composition or condition of any utility or structure and its contents, the fitness of any material for use as fill or drainage, or the amount of water to be expected, and that the entire cost risk of such matters, as well as any soil, surface, subsurface/underground, concealed, unknown, known, latent or other conditions (collectively, the "Site Conditions"), shall be borne by the Design/Builder as part of the Contract Price unless such conditions could not have reasonably been identified upon reasonable investigation by the Design/Builder. City makes no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the Site Conditions. Any information provided by City relating to Site Conditions is provided as advisory only, as Design/Builder recognizes and agrees that Site Conditions may vary from those observed by City. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but rather in confirmation and furtherance thereof, the Design/Builder agrees that it shall have no Claim for any increase in the Contract Price in the event that Site Conditions are encountered or discovered at the Project Site in the performance of the Work where such conditions could reasonably have been identified upon reasonable investigation thereof. The Design/Builder expressly acknowledges and agrees that its pricing of the Work and the determination of the Contract Price were expressly based upon the Design/Builder's assuming the foregoing cost risks of Site Conditions. If Site Conditions that could not have reasonably been identified by Design/Builder upon prior investigation are encountered at the Project Site that are materially differing from those indicated in the Contract Documents, or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature differ materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the Work provided for in the Contract Documents are encountered at the Project Site, Design/Builder shall promptly notify the City within two (2) business days of the specific materially differing Site Conditions before the Design/Builder disturbs the conditions or performs the affected Work. ii. Upon receipt of written notification of differing Site Conditions from the Design/Builder, the City will investigate the Site Conditions and, if it is determined that the Site 29 Conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any Work, an equitable adjustment may be made in accordance with Article 11 herein and the other Contract Documents. An adjustment for differing Site Conditions shall not be allowed, and any Claim relating thereto shall be deemed conclusively waived, if the Design/Builder has not provided the required written notice within two (2) business days of discovery of the Site Conditions, or has disturbed the Site Conditions prior to City's examination thereof. Should the City determine that the Site Conditions of the Project Site are not so materially different to warrant a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time or any other terms of the Contract Documents, Design/Builder shall be notified of the reasons in writing, and such determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto. iii.• For purposes of this Section 3.23, a "materially differing" Site Condition is one that (1) is not identified in the Contract Documents and is not reasonably inferable therefrom; (2) could not have reasonably been identified by Design/Builder upon prior investigation, provided Design/Builder reasonably undertook such prior site investigation; and (3) requires a change to the Work that increases Design/Builder's costs and/or impacts the critical path for completion of the Work. iv. Where Site Conditions delay the Project, and said delay could have been avoided by reasonable investigations of the Project Site at any time prior to commencement of the Work in question, such delay shall not be considered to be an Excusable Delay beyond the control of the Design/Builder, and no time extension shall be granted pursuant to Article 9. No request for an equitable adjustment or change to the Contract Time for differing Site Conditions shall be allowed if made after the date certified as the Substantial Completion Date. 3.24. Subcontractors; Design Subconsultants.. Design/Builder agrees to bind specifically every Consultant, Subcontractor and Design Subconsultant to the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of the City, and shall incorporate all applicable terms and conditions of the Contract Documents into any and all Consulting Agreement, Design Subconsulting Agreements and Subcontracts, to the full extent of the Work to be performed by each Consultant, Design Subconsultant and Subcontractor. Design/Builder shall submit a copy of each Consulting and Design Subconsulting Agreement and Subcontract at all tiers to the City for its examination and approval prior to the execution of such Consulting or Design Subconsulting Agreement or Subcontract. a. The Design/Builder shall make available to each proposed Consultant, Design Subconsultant and Subcontractor, prior to execution of the Subcontract, Consulting or Design Subconsulting Agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which the Consultant, Design Subconsultant or Subcontractor will be bound, and require that each Consultant, Design Subconsultant and Subcontractor shall similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective proposed sub- subcontractors. b. The City will not unreasonably withhold its consent to substitute a Consultant, Design Subconsultant or Subcontractor in the case of a matured and uncured default by such entity in its contract with the Design/Builder resulting in termination of the Design/Builder's contract with such entity, impossibility of performance or other good cause shown. Any substitute party, however, must possess comparable experience, skill, and character to that of the entity being replaced. 30 c. Conditional Assignment. Design/Builder conditionally assigns to the City all the rights, title and interest of Design/Builder in, to and under any and all Consulting and Design Subconsulting Agreements and Subcontracts. The assignment is exercisable by the City, at its election, in the event that the City has exercised its right to terminate this Agreement for any reason in whole or in part or to take control of, or cause control to be taken of, the Work or any portion thereof. The City may reassign the Consulting and Design Subconsulting Agreements and Subcontracts to another contractor, design professional, or any other qualified person or entity, (as the case may be) and such assignee may exercise the City's rights in the Consulting and Design Subconsulting Agreements and Subcontracts. Each Deign Subconsultant or Subcontractor shall, upon written notice that the City has exercised its rights under the Contract Documents (or the portion thereof applicable to the materials or services being furnished by such Design Subconsultant or Design Subconsulting Agreement or Subcontractor), continue to perform all of its obligations, covenants and agreements under such Subcontract for the benefit of the City. d. The Design/Builder's Consulting Agreement with the Consultant and the Design Subconsulting Agreements with the Design Subconsultants, respectively, shall also set forth the Consultant's and/or Design Subconsultants acknowledgment and agreement that (i) the Consultant shall at all times during on-site construction activities have a representative at the Project Site to observe the progress and quality of the Work; (ii) the Consultant shall, pursuant to such on-site observations as a Consultant, endeavor in good faith to guard against defects and deficiencies in the Work; (iii) the Consultant shall be obligated to provide the Design/Builder and the City with written notice of any defects or deficiencies in the Work observed by the Consultant; (iv) if the Design/Builder does not within a reasonable period of time remedy to the reasonable satisfaction of the Consultant the conditions so reported to the Design/Builder, the Consultant shall provide both the Design/Builder and the City with written notice of the condition not remedied and the Consultant's recommendation of the actions that are necessary to remedy such condition; and (v) the Consultant shall conduct inspections to assist the City in making its final determination of whether the Design/Builder has achieved, Substantial Completion of the Project, or any applicable portion thereof, and shall not tender any Certificate of Substantial Completion to the City unless and until the Consultant has determined to the best of its knowledge, information and belief that the Design/Builder has achieved Substantial Completion of the Work (or portion or component thereof covered by such certificate) in accordance with the Contract Documents. 3.25 THE CITY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO ASSIST, FACILITATE AND/OR PERFORM IN ANY WAY THE DESIGN/BUILDER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, FACILITATION AND/OR ASSISTANCE TO THE DESIGN/BUILDER SHALL BE AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND SHALL NOT, IN ANY WAY, BE CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND/OR CONSTITUTE AN ASSUMPTION BY THE CITY OF DESIGN/BUILDER'S OBLIGATIONS, A WAIVER OF DESIGN/BUILDER'S OBLIGATIONS AND/OR EXCUSE ANY BREACH BY DESIGN/BUILDER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE PARTICIPATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF DESIGN/BUILDER'S OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE CITY FROM DECLARING DESIGN/BUILDER IN DEFAULT FOR DESIGN/BUILDER'S FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH OBLIGATION, NOR SHALL IT LIMIT, IN ANY WAY, THE CITY'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE DESIGN/BUILDER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES NOT TO RAISE OR ASSERT AS DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT AND/OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF A SIMILAR NATURE, THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, ASSISTANCE AND/OR FACILITATION 31 IN THE PERFORMANCE OF DESIGN/BUILDER'S OBLIGATIONS. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASSISTING WITH OBTAINING PERMITS OR WITH COORDINATION WITH UTILITIES, OR OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROJECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS SECTION AND/OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, THIS SECTION SHALL GOVERN. ARTICLE 4 CITY'S DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 4.1. City Representatives. The City shall designate, from time to time, one or more representatives authorized to act on its behalf with respect to the Project.

ARTICLE 5 EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS 5.1. No Discrimination; Affirmative Action. The Design/Builder shall not discriminate against any workers, employees, or applicants, or any member of the public, because of race, creed, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation or national origin, nor otherwise commit an unfair employment practice. The Design/Builder shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are granted or denied employment, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation or national origin. Such affirmative action shall relate to, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or 34 termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Design/Builder shall post (or cause to be posted) in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause. The Design/Builder further agrees that this clause will be incorporated in all contracts entered into with Consultant, Design Subconsultants, Subcontractors and all labor organizations furnishing skilled, unskilled and craft labor or performing any such labor in connection with the Work. 5.2.

Prevailing Wages. If specified as applicable to this Project in the RFP, the Design/Builder shall comply with, and shall require all Subcontractors to comply with, Sections 31-27 through 31-30 of the City Code, as same may be amended from time to time, with regard to minimum hourly wage rates for all employees who provide services pursuant to this Agreement, as follows: a. The rate of wages and fringe benefit payments for all laborers, mechanics, and apprentices shall not be less than those payments for similar skills in classifications of work in a like construction industry as determined by the Secretary of Labor and as published in the Federal Register. All mechanics, laborers, and apprentices, employed or working directly upon the site of the Work shall be paid in accordance with the above referenced wage rates. Design/Builder shall post notice of these provisions at the site of the Work in a prominent place where it can be easily seen by the workers. b. If the Parties cannot agree on the proper classification of a particular class of laborers or mechanics or apprentices to be used, the Parties shall submit the question, together with its recommendation, to the City Manager for final determination. c. In the event it is found by the City that any laborer or mechanic or apprentice employed by Design/Builder, or any Subcontractor directly on the site of the Work has been or is being paid at a rate of wages less than the rate of wages required by the ordinance, the City may (i) by written notice to Design/Builder terminate its right to proceed with the Work or such part of Work for which there has been a failure to pay said required wages; and (ii) prosecute the Work or portion thereof to completion by contract or otherwise. Whereupon, City and its sureties shall be liable to City for any excess costs occasioned to City thereby. 35 d. Design/Builder shall maintain payrolls and basic records relating thereto during the course of the Work and shall preserve such for a period of three (3) years thereafter for all laborers, mechanics, and apprentices working at the site of the Work. Such records shall contain the name and address of each such employee; its current classification; rate of pay (including rates of contributions for, or costs assumed to provide, fringe benefits); daily and weekly number of hours worked; deductions made; and actual wages paid. e. Design/Builder shall be required to submit, with each requisition for payment, any signed and sworn statement of compliance with the prevailing wage rate ordinance, as may be required by the City. Design/Builder shall submit certified payrolls for each requisition period. Certified payrolls should include employee name, address and social security number, labor classification, hours worked, hourly base rate, hourly fringe rate and hourly benefit rate f. The City may withhold or cause to be withheld from Design/Builder so much of the payments requisitioned as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and guards employed by Design/Builder or any Subcontractor on the Work, the full amount of wages required by the Contract Documents or terms of the applicable subcontract. g. If Design/Builder or any Subcontractor fails to pay any laborer, mechanic, or apprentice employed or working on the site of the Work all or part of the wages required by the Contract Documents or terms of the applicable subcontract, the City may, after written notice to Design/Builder, take such action as may be necessary to cause suspension of any further payments or advances until such violations have ceased.

Design/Builder shall be instructed to commence the Work by written instruction issued by the City in the form of one or more Notices to Proceed for the Design Phase and for Construction Phase. 6.2. Time For Completion. DESIGN/BUILDER SHALL ACHIEVE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF THE WORK WITHIN TWO HUNDRED (200) DAYS FROM THE DATE SPECIFIED IN NTP , AND COMPLETED AND READY FOR FINAL PROGRESS PAYMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 8, WITHIN ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY (120) DAYS FROM THE DATE CERTIFIED BY CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR AS THE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE. a. NTP. NTP will not be issued until Design/Builder's submission to City of all required documents and after execution of the Agreement by both Parties. However, the submission to City of all required documents and execution of the Agreement shall not 36 automatically mandate any obligation of the City to issue NTP. The issuance of NTP shall be in the City's sole discretion. Design/Builder shall complete the Design Phase and permitting within sixty(60) days from the issuance of NTP. ii. Design/Builder shall place into operation the pump station that can deliver 50% of the design treatment capacity or 50 CFS and 50% of the flow capacity or 90 CFS within 200 days from issuance of NTP. This includes the construction completion of at least one of the two proposed train units including the junction box, one treatment structure, one wetwell with two pumps, one half of the energy dissipater including its front seawall and the overflow structure. All required performance testing, training, installation certification and acceptance by the City shall be performed prior to substantial completion. b. Design/Builder shall submit to City all of the following items for City's review and approval: A proposed Project Schedule in compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents; ii. A preliminary schedule of Shop Drawing submissions; iii. A preliminary Schedule of Values i n sufficient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during the Construction Phase. Such prices will include an appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to each item of Work. iv. Utility coordination schedule: Design/Builder shall meet with all utility owners and secure from them a schedule of utility relocation. City shall not be responsible for the nonperformance of utility relocation or any other failure to cooperate or coordinate by the utility owners. Any efforts by the City to facilitate such coordination or cooperation by or with the utility owners shall be solely at the City's discretion and shall not in any way be construed or interpreted as the City's assumption of such obligation, which obligation shall, at all times, remain the full responsibility of the Design/Builder. v. All permits required by authorities having jurisdiction, unless otherwise provided by the Contract Documents. vi. Identity and location of storage yard for storage of materials and equipment relating to the Project. c. Design/Builder shall not be entitled to compensation of any kind until issuance of NTP. Design/Builder shall bear the responsibility for re-performing any Work, including design and permitting costs, should the respective regulatory agencies require changes thereto. The Design/Builder expressly acknowledges and agrees that its pricing of the Work and the determination of the Contract Price were expressly based upon the Design/Builder's assuming the foregoing cost risks of taking all steps that may be necessary to sequence and prosecute the Work as contemplated by the Project Schedule. 6.3. Preconstruction Schedule. Within thirty (30) days after receiving the NTP, the Design/Builder shall (without altering, revising or otherwise changing the Substantial Completion 37 Date) submit to the City for review a detailed preconstruction schedule by developing the Project Schedule. This revised Project Schedule shall be based on the critical path method, shall show in complete detail the starting and completion time sequence of design, development and contract award activities of the Design/Builder and its Consultant, Design Subconsultants and Subcontractors, shall identify all interface Milestone events of the City (if any). Provided the expanded schedule has been approved by the City, such revised Project Schedule shall be incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to an Amendment in substitution of the schedule attached as Appendix"D" hereto. a. City shall have five (5) days from Design/Builder's submission to City of the Construction Documents, at the 60%, 90%, and 100% completion stages, respectively, to review and comment on the Construction Documents (in its proprietary capacity as Owner of the Project). Design/Builder shall incorporate such City review periods into its Project Schedule, so as to achieve the design within 60 days following NTP. If the City's reviews take longer than the five (5) day periods set forth herein, Design/Builder must immediately request an extension of time and comply with the notice and other requirements of Article 12. Time extensions for such delays shall not be automatic and must be requested in accordance with the Contract Documents. b. The Project Schedule shall also identify the total schedule float for the Project and how that float is allocated to items of Work on the critical path. During the Design Phase, any float set forth from time to time shall be available to the Design/Builder and the City at such times as either party may need it. Each month during the Design and Construction Phases, the Design/Builder shall, in its computer-generated reports submitted to the City pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, provide the City with the Design/Builder's then current assessment of the amount of float available in the Project Schedule and, to the extent relevant, whether and to what extent such float was generated by the Design/Builder or the City. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Construction Phase from beginning prior to the Design Phase being completed, provided that the City has issued the applicable Notice to Proceed. c. Pre-construction Meeting. At a time specified by City, but before Design/Builder commences the Work at the Project Site, a conference attended by Design/Builder, City and others, as deemed appropriate by Contract Administrator, will be held to discuss the Project plans; submission of all schedules and reports required by the Contract Documents; procedures for handling Shop Drawings and other submittals; procedures for processing Applications for Payment; and to establish a working understanding among the Parties as to the Work. d. Within five (5) business days prior to the pre-construction meeting described in Subsection 6.3(c) herein, Design/Builder shall submit the following to City, for City's review and approval: A critical path method ("CPM") Project "Base Line" Schedule in accordance with Division 1 of the Project Specifications, one (1) electronic copy on a CD in native Primavera format and .pdf format, and one (1) hard copy, with activities arranged in a "waterfall", in the indicated form for final review and approval, including: bar chart; modified CPM and computerized CPM using the latest edition of the Primavera software; "Early Start" and "Early Finish" dates for each activity;. input that encompasses all submittal approvals; delivery durations for important materials and/or equipment; logic relationships of activities, including physical and Project Site restraints; and clearly identifying the Project's critical path. CPM shall have the meaning and detail as outlined in the most recent edition of the Association 38 of General Contractors (AGC) publication, "The Use of CPM in Construction." The preliminary CPM Project "Base Line" Schedule, when submitted, shall have attached a program-generated error report stating that no errors exist in the schedule. ii. Design/Builder shall submit on a monthly basis, with each Application for Payment, an update of the CPM Project Schedule (with a program-generated error report stating that no errors exist in the schedule and that does not revise the CPM Project "Base Line" Schedule's Substantial Completion Date or Final Completion Date) showing the progress for the month. DESIGN/BUILDER SHALL SUBMIT ONE HARD COPY AND ONE ELECTRONIC COPY (in both pdf and native file format). In addition to the CPM Project "Base Line" Schedule, Design/Builder shall include a narrative report of the month's progress, an explanation of any delays and/or additions/deletions to activities. If City waives the requirement for the submission of any portion of an Application for Payment, or waives the requirement for submission of an Application for Payment in any given month, Design/Builder shall nevertheless submit the monthly update of the CPM Project Schedule specified in this Section. iii. It is strongly recommended that Design/Builder hire a seasoned professional in the use of Primavera, to develop and update the Primavera CPM Project "Base Line" Schedule. iv. Design/Builder shall attend weekly progress meetings and provide an updated two (2) week look ahead schedule for review and discussion, Design/Builder shall, on a monthly basis , be prepared to discuss at a weekly progress meeting: (i) any proposed changes to the CPM Project "Base Line Schedule"; (ii) explain and provide a narrative for reasons why logic changes should be made; (iii) update to individual Subcontractor activities; and (iv) integration of changes into the schedule. v. The CPM Project "Base Line" Schedule shall be the basis of the Design/Builder's Work and shall be complied with in all respects. vi. After award, but prior to the submission of the final CPM Project "Base Line" Schedule, City's Project Coordinator and/or Contract Administrator and Design/Builder shall meet with all utility owners and secure from them a schedule of utility relocation; provided, however, that City shall not be responsible for non-performance of utility relocation or any other failure to cooperate of coordinate by the utility owners. Any efforts by the City to facilitate such • coordination or cooperation by or with the utility owners shall be solely at the City's discretion and shall not in any way be construed or interpreted as the City's assumption of such obligation, which obligation shall, at all times, remain the full responsibility of the Design/Builder. vii. A preliminary schedule of Shop Drawing submissions; and viii. A preliminary Schedule of Values for all of the Work which will include items aggregating the Contract Price and which may subdivide the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during the Construction Phase. e. Within twenty (20) days following the pre-construction meeting referenced in Subsection 6.3(c), Design/Builder shall revise its original preliminary Project Schedule submittal, Shop Drawings schedule submittal, and its proposed Schedule of Values to address all review comments received from the City, and shall resubmit the revised Schedules for Project Coordinator review and approval. The final CPM Project "Base Line" Schedule will be accepted 39 by Project Coordinator only if it provides for the orderly progression of the Work to completion within the Contract Time; provided, however, that any such acceptance shall not constitute acceptance by City of the means or methods of construction or of the sequencing or scheduling of the Work, and shall not relieve Design/Builder from full responsibility to perform and complete the Work within the Contract Time in accordance with the Contract Documents. The finalized schedule of Shop Drawing submissions must be acceptable to Project Coordinator as providing a workable arrangement for processing Shop Drawings. The finalized Schedule of Values must be acceptable to the Project Coordinator as to form and substance. However, nothing contained herein shall prevent City from requesting modifications to the aforementioned submittal Schedules, Project Schedule or Schedule of Values. 6.4. Manpower Forecast. Within ten (10) days after receiving the Notice to Proceed, the Design/Builder shall submit a manpower forecast by trades and their availability in the Miami- Dade County, Florida area. The Design/Builder shall update this manpower forecast at semi- annual intervals, or at such other intervals as the City may direct. 6.5. Construction Schedule. At such time as the Construction Documents are sixty percent (60%) complete (as determined by the City), the Design/Builder shall (without altering, revising or otherwise changing the Substantial Completion Date) submit to the City for incorporation into the Contract Documents a detailed, Project construction schedule by expanding the overall Project Schedule. This schedule shall be based upon the critical path method, shall show in complete detail the starting and completion times of activities for each of the various trades, the sequence of the Work and all significant activities (with the critical path clearly delineated), shall include monthly updates of data dates. Provided the Project Schedule has been approved by the City, such revised Project Schedule shall be incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to an Amendment in substitution of the schedule then attached as Appendix "D" hereto. 6.6. NOT USED. 6.7. Computer-Generated Reports. As a condition to the Design/Builder receiving each monthly progress payment identified in Article 7, the Design/Builder will submit to the City a report identifying the progress of the Work in comparison with the Project Schedule, which report shall be computer-generated. The report shall clearly delineate the critical path and shall reflect the current status of all float time in the Project Schedule. In addition, the Design/Builder shall prepare a report (which shall be updated on a monthly basis) showing for each month the monthly progress payments in relationship to the Project Schedule. 6.8. Contents of Reports. The computer-generated reports provided for in Section 6.7 above will consist of the following: a. Summary Trade Schedule in Bar Chart Format; b. Detailed Activities - Reports showing starting and completion floats; c. Detailed Critical Activity Report; d. Buyout Report of Long Lead Equipment and Contracts; e. A written report showing actions taken to correct any Project Schedule slippages; and 40 f. An updated Project Cash Flow Report. 6.9. Progress in Accordance with Schedule/ Recovery Schedule. The Project Schedule and Substantial Completion Dates shall not be modified except by an Amendment to this Agreement. The Design/Builder shall prosecute the Work, and shall cause all Consultants, Design Subconsultants and Subcontractors to prosecute the Work, so that the delivery of the Project by the Substantial Completion Date shall be in accordance with the approved Project Schedule. a. If the Work on any critical path item or activity delineated in the Project Schedule is delayed for a period which exceeds 5% of the days remaining until a completion deadline for an item in the Project Schedule (including delays for which Design/Builder may be entitled to a time extension under Article 13), and it reasonably appears that the Design/Builder will be unable to meet the deadlines of the Project Schedule, the City may notify the Design/Builder of the same and, in such event, the Design/Builder shall have the right to demonstrate Design/Builder's proposed recovery plan to regain lost schedule progress and to achieve such progress in accordance with the Contract Documents ("Recovery Schedule"), after taking into account Excusable Delay (as hereinafter defined) and permitted extensions of the Project Schedule. b. City shall notify Design/Builder within five (5) business days after receipt of each Recovery Schedule, whether the Recovery Schedule is deemed accepted or rejected. Within five (5) business days after City's rejection of any Recovery Schedule, Design/Builder will resubmit a revised Recovery Schedule incorporating City's comments. If the City accepts Design/Builder's Recovery Schedule, Design/Builder shall, within five (5) business days after City's acceptance, incorporate and fully include the Recovery Schedule into the Project Schedule and deliver same to City. c. If the Design/Builder fails to provide an acceptable Recovery Schedule, as determined by City in its sole discretion, that demonstrates Design/Builder's follow the Project Schedule, the City may, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to the City hereunder or otherwise, order the Design/Builder to employ such extraordinary measures, including acceleration of the Work, and other measures, including substantially increasing manpower and/or necessary equipment, as may be necessary to bring the Work into conformity with the Project Schedule. 6.10. Substantial Completion. As a condition of Substantial Completion, all of the following must occur: a. All Work affecting the operability of the Project or safety has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents; b. If applicable, all Pre-commissioning activities, including alignment, balancing, lubrication and first-fill, have been completed; c. The Work may be operated within manufacturers' recommended limits, in compliance with Applicable Laws, and without damage to the Work or to the Project; d. Design/Builder has corrected all defects, deficiencies and/or discrepancies to the entire Work as identified by RPR and RPR confirms such corrections have been made in writing; 41 e. When Design/Builder believes it has achieved Substantial Completion, Design/Builder shall request an inspection by the City and the RPR, and shall provide the City with evidence supporting its assessment of Substantial Completion, including any specific documents or information requested by the City to assist in its evaluation thereof. Design/Builder shall, prior to said inspection, develop its preliminary Punch List for input and comment by the City and the RPR. Once the preliminary Punch List is submitted to the City and RPR, the City and its representatives shall then schedule a walk-through of the Project with Design/Builder and the Consultant. Following the walk-through, Design/Builder shall develop and provide City with the list of all remaining items of Work to be completed or corrected, and which incorporates items and comments identified or provided by the City and RPR comments and is d certified for completeness and accuracy by the Consultant ("Substantial Completion Punch List"), provided, however, that failure to include any items on such Substantial Completion Punch List does not alter the responsibility of the Design/Builder to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents; and f. With respect to any Project for which a right-of-way permit is required from the City of Miami Beach's Public Works Department, including this Project, in no event shall Substantial Completion occur prior to the final lift of asphalt and acceptance thereof by the agencies having jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the City's Public Works Department). 6.11. Certificate of Substantial Completion. Any determination by the Consultant and the Design/Builder of Substantial Completion shall not be binding on the City, and the ultimate determination of Substantial Completion shall rest with the City and shall be evidenced by the City's executing and returning to the Design/Builder its Certificate of Substantial Completion (or Notice of Partial Substantial Completion, as applicable). a. When the City, on the basis of an inspection, determines that the Work or designated portion thereof, is substantially complete, and when the Design/Builder has complied with all other conditions precedent to Substantial Completion provided for in Section 6.10 and the other Contract Documents, the City will then prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the Substantial Completion Date, shall state the responsibilities of Design/Builder, if any, for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and Design/Builder shall complete the items listed in the Substantial Completion Punch List within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Substantial Completion Date. If the City issues a Certificate of Substantial Completion on the basis of partial completion of the Project, or upon the basis of a partial or temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion, as applicable, City may include such additional conditions, as it deems appropriate to protect its interests pending substantial completion of the entire Project or issuance of a permanent certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion, as applicable. b. The City shall not unreasonably withhold or condition acceptance and execution of a Certificate of Substantial Completion (or a Notice of Partial Substantial Completion); provided, however, the Project shall not be deemed Substantially Complete and the City shall not execute a Certificate of Substantial Completion until all of the criteria for achieving Substantial Completion as identified in Section 6.10 and any other Contract Documents have been satisfied. 6.12. Partial Substantial Completion. Partial Substantial Completion of the Work shall occur when the City determines that a portion of the Work, as defined in the Contract Documents and/or otherwise by logical boundaries, is Substantially Complete in accordance with the 42 Contract Documents. The City may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that a portion or component of the Work, acceptable to the City in its sole discretion, may be certified as Substantially Complete provided that: The requirements provided under Sections 6.10 and 6.11 above for issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion are complied with for the portion of the Work for which a Certificate of Partial Substantial Completion is being sought; ii. Such portion and any and all appurtenances, utilities, transportation arteries and any other items required under the Contract Documents and necessary to serve that portion of the Work are sufficiently completed, a temporary certificate of completion or Certificate of Occupancy, as applicable, is issued for the portion of the Work for which a Certificate of Partial Substantial Completion is being sought and/or all conditions or requirements of authorities having jurisdiction are complied with, to permit the City to utilize and occupy that portion for its intended use in accordance with the Contract Documents without material interference from any incomplete or improperly completed items of Work; iii. The City is fully able to use and occupy the portion of the Work for the purposes intended and the Design/Builder separates the portion of the Work which is Substantially Complete from non-complete areas of the Project in order to prevent noise, dust and other construction disturbances which would materially interfere with the use of such portion for its intended use in accordance with the Contract Documents and to assure the safety of those entering, exiting and occupying the Substantially Completed portion of the Work; and iv. Partial Substantial Completion shall not constitute Final Completion of the Work or Substantial Completion of the Project, nor shall it relieve the Design/Builder of any responsibility for the correction of Work (whether or not included in portion of Work Substantially Complete) or for the performance of Work not complete at the time of Partial Substantial Completion. 6.13. Beneficial Occupancy. Beneficial Occupancy shall occur when the City determines, at its sole and absolute discretion, that the Work or a portion thereof may be occupied prior to Substantial Completion. City may take Beneficial Occupancy in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents. a. Prior to the anticipated date of Beneficial Occupancy, Design/Builder shall separate the portion of the Work to be occupied from non-complete areas of the Project in order to prevent noise, dust and other construction disturbances which would materially interfere with the use of such portion for its intended use in accordance with the Contract Documents and to assure the safety of those entering, exiting and occupying the completed portion to be occupied. b. Beneficial Occupancy shall not constitute Substantial Completion or Final Completion of the Work, nor shall it relieve the Design/Builder of any responsibility for the correction of Work (whether or not included in the portion of Work to be occupied) or for the performance of Work not complete at the time of Beneficial Occupancy. Prior to Beneficial Occupancy, the Design/Builder shall obtain a temporary Certificate of Occupancy and/or Certificate of Completion, as applicable, and/or otherwise satisfy all conditions or requirements of any agencies having jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, fire watch or other conditions that may be imposed under City special event permits, if such permits are required). Prior to the anticipated date of Beneficial Occupancy, the Design/Builder shall instruct City personnel as 43 necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of all equipment and machinery that will serve the portion of the Work being occupied. c. Design/Builder's insurance on the unoccupied or unused portion or portions of the Project Site shall not be canceled or lapsed on account of such Beneficial Occupancy. d. Design/Builder shall be responsible to maintain all utility services to areas occupied by the City until Final Completion. 6.14. Final Completion. Final Completion of the Project shall be deemed to have occurred if all the following have occurred: a. Substantial Completion of the entire Project has occurred; b. The Work can be used and operated in accordance with Applicable Laws and applicable permits; c. All spare parts and special tools purchased by Design/Builder as part of Vendor supplies shall have been delivered to City and clear of all Liens; d.

City shall deliver to Design/Builder a Certificate of Final Completion as soon as practicable following declaration by City that Final Completion has occurred. Final Completion is a condition precedent to Final Progress Payment. 6.15. Liquidated Damages. a. The failure of the Design/Builder to meet the Milestones or complete the Project by the Substantial Completion Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) will deprive the City and the residents and visitors of the City of a valuable asset. Therefore, the Design/Builder agrees that the Design/Builder shall begin the Project in conformity with the provisions set forth herein and shall prosecute the same with all due diligence and adequate manpower, so as to timely achieve the Milestones (if any) and Substantial Completion of the entire Project (as such date may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). Failure to achieve Substantial Completion and/or Final Completion, shall be cause for the City to deduct from monies otherwise due the Design/Builder the liquidated amounts as set forth below: 1. Substantial Completion: Upon failure of Design/Builder to achieve Substantial Completion of the Project within the time specified for Substantial Completion, plus approved time extensions, City shall deduct from monies otherwise due the Design/Builder a liquidated amount assessed daily until Substantial Completion of the Project, in the amount of $5,000 per day, commencing on the first day following the date Design/Builder was to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work, pursuant to the approved and updated Project Schedule. 2. Final Completion. After Substantial Completion, should Design/Builder fail to complete the remaining Work within the time specified for Final Completion, plus approved time extensions, City shall deduct from monies otherwise due the Design/Builder a liquidated amount assessed daily until Final Completion, in the amount of $1,000 per day, commencing on the first day following the date Design/Builder was to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work, pursuant to the approved and updated Project Schedule. 45 b. Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing Liquidated Damages amounts are not penalties and have been set based on an evaluation by City of damages to City and the public caused by Design/Builder's untimely performance. Such damages may include, without limitation, additional costs of administering this Agreement (including Project staff, legal, accounting, consultants, overhead and other administrative costs). Design/Builder and City have agreed to such Liquidated Damages in order to fix Design/Builder's costs and to avoid later disputes over which items are properly chargeable to Design/Builder as a consequence of Design/Builder's delays, in view of the Parties' recognition of the impossibility of precisely ascertaining the amount of damages that will be sustained by City as a consequence of such delay. By entering into this Agreement, Design/Builder acknowledges that the amounts established for Liquidated Damages are fair and commercially reasonable. Such Liquidated Damages shall apply separately to each Milestone containing the right to assess Liquidated Damages. c. Liquidated Damages shall be deducted from monies otherwise due Design/Builder, whether or not the City terminates Design/Builder for cause and whether or not Surety completes the Project after a Default by Design/Builder. Design/Builder further acknowledges and agrees that Liquidated Damages may be owed even though no Event of Default has occurred. d. Liquidated Damages shall apply solely to Claims arising from delay in timely achieving any Milestone for which the right to assess Liquidated Damages is specified, including, without limitation, Substantial Completion or Final Completion, in accordance with the Contract Documents, for which the foregoing Liquidated Damages amounts are set, and are not intended to, and do not, liquidate Design/Builder's liability under any other provision of this Agreement or for other events for which no liquidated damage amount is set. Liquidated Damages shall not liquidate Design/Builder's liability under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. e. Design/Builder, in addition to reimbursing City for Liquidated Damages for untimely performance, shall reimburse City for all costs incurred by City to repair, restore, and/or complete the Work. All such costs shall be deducted from the monies otherwise due Design/Builder for performance of Work under this Agreement by means of unilateral credit or deductive Change Orders issued by City. ARTICLE 7 DESIGN/BUILDER'S COMPENSATION 7.1. Contract Price. In full consideration of the complete performance of the Work and all other obligations of the Design/Builder under the Contract Documents, City agrees to pay the Design/Builder the GMP amount stipulated herein in the amount of five million three hundred ninety eight nineteen Dollars ($5,398,019.00) ("Contract Price"). 7.2. Schedule of Values and Payments. The sum of all amounts in the Schedule of Values shall equal the Contract Price. The schedule of values shall have two separate professional service fees, one for the Design Phase (including permitting) and the other for the Construction Phase. The portion of the Contract Price allocated to Design Phase Work shall be paid based on Design/Builder's achievement of each of the completion Milestones for Design Documents and Construction Documents based on the 60%, 90% and 100% complete, or shall otherwise be paid in accordance with payment schedules approved by the Contract Administrator in 46 • accordance with the Contract Documents. Upon achievement of each such Milestone for Design Phase Work, Design/Builder shall submit an Application for Payment with appropriate back-up documentation in accordance with the requirements of Article 8. 7.3. No Adjustments to the Contract Price during the Design Phase. As the Construction Documents will not be finished at the time the Contract Price is established, the Design/Builder shall provide for in the Contract Price all development of the Construction Documents by the Consultant, consistent with the DCP and the Contract Documents and/or reasonably inferable therefrom. Such further development does not include Scope Changes pursuant to Article 11 which, along with any adjustment to the Contract Price as may be required, shall be incorporated by Change Order at the City's sole discretion. 7.4. No Compensation Prior to Notice to Proceed. Prior to the City's issuance of any Notice to Proceed, the Design/Builder shall not incur any cost to be reimbursed as part of the Project, except as the Contract Administrator may specifically authorize in writing. 7.5. City's Contingency. The City's Contingency is available at the sole discretion of the Contract Administrator to cover and/or defray additional expenses relative to design and construction of the Project not included in or reasonably inferable from the DCP or Design/Builder's scope of Work, or for additional changes or adjustments to Work items deemed desirable by the City to be included as part of the Contract Documents, or for additional costs expressly chargeable to the City or for which the City is responsible pursuant to the Contract Documents. a. Design/Builder shall have no entitlement whatsoever to any amounts in the City's Contingency, and City is under no obligation to assign any monies from the City's Contingency to the Design/Builder. Use of funds from City's Contingency shall be approved in writing by the Contract Administrator or City Manager prior to the prosecution of the related Work. Failure to obtain such prior authorization in accordance with the Contract Documents shall be grounds for non-payment of any expenses incurred in connection with such unauthorized Work. b.

The City shall have the right to withhold from payments to the Design/Builder amounts that the City reasonably believes are owing to a Consultant and/or Subcontractor(from City's past payments) unless the Design/Builder explains the circumstances of such nonpayment to the satisfaction of the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall have no obligation to pay or to be responsible in any way for payment to any Consultant, Design Subconsultant and/or Subcontractor. 8.6. Subcontractors' Rights/ No Mechanics' Liens.

Thereafter, the City shall reduce to five percent (5%) the amount of retainage withheld from each subsequent progress payment made to the Design/Builder, until Substantial Completion as provided in Section 6.10 herein. Any reduction in retainage below five percent (5%) shall be at the sole discretion of the City after written request by Design/Builder. All requests for release of retainage shall be made in accordance with, and shall be subject to, the requirements of Section 255.078 of the Florida Statutes, as may be amended. Except as provided by law, the City shall have no obligation to release or disburse retainage until Substantial Completion of the Project. Any such request shall be made independently of and separately from any Application for Payment or other document required by the Contract Documents. Upon receipt by the Design/Builder of a Certificate of Substantial Completion pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof, fully executed by the City establishing the Substantial Completion Date, and after completion of all items on the Substantial Completion Punch List and/or other incomplete Work, the Design/Builder may submit a payment request for all remaining retainage. It shall be the City's sole determination as to whether any of the items have been completed. For items deemed not to have been completed, the City may withhold retainage up to two times the total cost to complete such items.

Any interest earned on retainage shall accrue to the benefit of City. City shall disburse the retainage amounts withheld upon the City's acceptance of the completion of the items for which they were withheld and, assuming that no other items or conditions have arisen with respect to the Work, including, without limitation, any defects or other noncompliance with the Contract Documents. 52 8.8. No Acceptance. No progress payment made by the City to Design/Builder shall constitute acceptance of any portion of the Work, any goods or materials provided under this Agreement or any portion thereof. No partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the City shall constitute an acceptance of any portion of the Work or the complete Project which is not in accordance with the Contract Documents. 8.9. Payment by the City. a. Approval of Applications for Payment. The City shall use good faith reasonable efforts to approve or reject (specifying, in the event of rejection, the reasons therefor) each Design/Builder's certified Application for Payment within fourteen (14) days after receipt thereof, or within such period of time as may be otherwise permitted by Fla. Stat. 218.735. If reasons for rejection apply only to a portion of such Application for Payment, only such portion shall be rejected.

In the event the City agrees to accept the Design/Builder's proposal in relation to the City's request for a change in the Work, the Parties shall execute a Change Order, stating their agreement upon all of the following: i) in the scope of the change in the Work; ii) the amount of the adjustment in the Contract Price, if any; and (iii) the extent of the adjustment in the Substantial Completion Date and/or Milestone, if any. In addition to the circumstances described above, the Parties may enter into a Change Order to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The increase or decrease in the Contract Price resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined in one or more of the following ways: 1. by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation by the Contract Administrator and Resident Project Representative; 2. by unit prices if agreed upon; or 3. by time and materials cost and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee for the Design/Builder. Design/Builder expressly acknowledges and agrees that it has sufficiently calculated and incorporated any and/or all overhead and profit into its cost proposal using any of the aforementioned methodologies. e. If none of the methods set forth above are agreed upon, the City may either (i) notify the Design/Builder that the City has decided not to proceed with the requested change; or (ii) issue a Change Order for the maximum amount and time agreed to by the City, with the difference subject to a reservation of rights by the Design/Builder. The cost of such Work shall then be determined on the basis of the reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributed to the change, including a reasonable overhead and profit in accordance with this Article 11. The Project Coordinator, with the input of the Consultant and/or Resident Project Representative, will establish an,estimated cost of the Work and the Design/Builder shall not perform any Work whose cost exceeds that estimate without prior written approval by the City. In such case, and also under Subsection 11.1(d) above, the Design/Builder shall keep and present, in such form as the City may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data of the increase in the Contract Price as outlined in Article 8. In such event, Design/Builder shall promptly proceed with the Work involved. f. If the City elects not to proceed with a change after reviewing the Design/Builder's proposal submitted in response to a change request by the City, the Design/Builder shall be reimbursed for costs reasonably incurred by it for design services or preparing proposed revisions to the Contract Documents in connection with such change 59 request by only under the following circumstances: (i) such change is a material and substantial deviation from the scope of the Work and is not contemplated by or reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents; and (ii) the Design/Builder received written approval from the City in advance of incurring such design costs and the City approved the specific amount of design costs being sought for reimbursement, at the rates the City customarily pays for comparable design services. If the preceding conditions are satisfied, the Design/Builder shall be reimbursed for the specific design costs, as approved by the City for design services or preparing approved revisions to the Contract Documents at the rates the City customarily pays for comparable design services. In furtherance thereof, such rates must be set forth in documentation to be submitted and approved by the City in its reasonable discretion. g. If unit prices are included as part of any Change Order or are otherwise applicable pursuant to any of the Contract Documents, City shall pay to Design/Builder the amounts determined for the total number of each of the units of Work completed at the unit price stated in the Schedule of Prices Bid associated with such Work. The number of units contained in the bid is an estimate only, and final payment shall be made for the actual number of units incorporated in or made necessary by the Contract Documents, as may be amended by Change Order. If additional unit price work is ordered, then the Design/Builder shall perform the Work as directed and shall be paid for the actual quantity of such item(s) of Work performed at the appropriate original Schedule of Prices Bid associated with such Work. h. The Design/Builder's overhead and profit markup or fee for all Change Orders shall not exceed (i) ten percent (10%) of the net change in the Contract Price for Work performed by Design/Builder's own forces, or (ii) five (5%) of the net change in the Contract Price for Work performed by Subcontractors and Suppliers. The overhead and profit markup or fee by Subcontractors and Suppliers for Change Orders shall be reasonable, but in no event shall the aggregate total amount of overhead and profit that each Subcontractor and all lower tier subcontractors and Suppliers can charge for Work performed pursuant to Change Orders and Construction Change Directives exceed seven and one-half percent (7.5%). For deductive Change Orders, including deductive Change Orders arising from both additive and deductive items, the deductive amounts shall include a proportionate corresponding reduction in the overhead and profit fee, as applicable to the Design/Builder, Subcontractors or Suppliers. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract Documents to the contrary, Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that after the Contract Price has been established, no Change Order shall be approved for any matters referenced in Sections 3.10(a) through 3.10(f), and 3.23(a) through 3.23(b), including all subparts thereto. j. Design/Builder shall furnish to the City all supporting documentation evidencing all of its proposed expenditures, demonstrating that the costs are necessary for the completion of the Project, and the reasons the amounts should be payable by the City. If Design/Builder disagrees with City's decision to deny a request for a Change Order and/or to utilize the City's Contingency, any such dispute may be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 15. 11.2. Construction Change Directives. The Contract Administrator or RPR shall have the right to approve and issue Construction Change Directives setting forth written interpretations of the intent of the DCP or the Contract Documents (other than the Construction Documents) to Design/Builder and ordering minor changes in execution of the Work, provided the Construction Change Directive involves no change in the Contract Price or the Contract Time. 60 11.3. No Design/Builder Changes. The Design/Builder shall not initiate changes in the scope of the Work; it being acknowledged and agreed by the Design/Builder that the Work can be successfully completed within the Contract Price and by the Substantial Completion Date. 11.4. Claims Regarding Scope Changes. A "Scope Change" shall mean a material change in the Work which either (i) is not reasonably inferable from the Construction Documents and other Contract Documents, or (ii) is a substantial increase or decrease in the Work arising from any changes required to the Construction Documents by agencies having jurisdiction and which were not reasonably foreseeable. Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that increases or decreases in the Work arising from (i) any matters implicating or covered by Sections 3.10(a) through 3.10(f), and Sections 3.23(a) through 3.23(b) including all subparts thereto, or (ii) gaps between Subcontractors' bids, shall not constitute a Scope Change unless Design/Builder can demonstrate that such Work was not reasonably inferable from the Construction Documents and other Contract Documents. a. If the Design/Builder believes that any direction, action, comment or approval by the City or Consultant gives rise to or constitutes a Scope Change for which a Change Order may be required, but for which a Change Order has not yet been issued, the Design/Builder must submit notice to the City within ten (10) days of such direction, action, comment or approval which it believes constitutes a Scope Change that may require a Change Order, which shall constitute a Claim. b. Any such notice shall include the Design/Builder's good faith estimate as to the cost and schedule impact to the Design/Builder resulting from the direction, action, comment or approval. The Design/Builder must submit, in accordance with Article 15 of this Agreement, a final Claim to the City within thirty (30) days of such direction, action, comment or approval, which Claim shall include the actual cost (including a detailed cost breakdown in relation to the Project Budget and sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation by the City) and schedule impact to the Design/Builder resulting from the direction, action, comment or approval. c. Such notice and final Claim are conditions precedent to any cost or schedule adjustment on the basis of such Claim and, if the Design/Builder does not submit such a notice within such ten (10) day period and a final Claim within such thirty (30) day period, the Design/Builder shall be deemed to have waived its right to make such Claim in the future. If the Design/Builder follows the preceding notice and Claim procedures and the City agrees with the Claim, the Parties shall execute a Change Order implementing the changes requested in the Claim. If the City does not agree with such a Claim, the Parties shall resolve their disagreement is accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement. 11.5. Waiver of Claims. By executing a Change Order, the Design/Builder thereafter waives all Claims and the right to assert any further Claim for an increase in the Contract Price or an extension in the Substantial Completion Date or other Milestone or overall Contract Time based on the Work that is the subject of such Change Order, ; it being acknowledged and agreed by the Design/Builder that any such Change Order shall completely address any schedule or cost impact associated with the subject matter of the Claim. 11.6. Cost and Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Contract Price, the Substantial Completion Date and any Milestone may only be adjusted by Change Order. 61 ARTICLE 12 NO DAMAGES FOR DELAY; EXTENSIONS TO THE CONTRACT TIME 12.1. No Damages for Delay. a. 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 including, without limitation, any Claim for an increase in the Contract Price, or payment or compensation to the Design/Builder (or its Consultant, Design Subconsultants and Subcontractors) of any kind for direct, indirect, consequential, impact, or 'other costs, expenses, lost profits, compensation, reimbursement 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, and irrespective of whether such delay constitutes an Excusable Delay and irrespective of whether such delay results in an extension of the Contract Time; provided, however, Design/Builder's hindrances or delays are not due solely to fraud, bad faith or willful or intentional interference by the City in the performance of the Work, and then only where such acts continue after Design/Builder's written notice to the City of such alleged interference. b. Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that Excusable Delay shall not be deemed to constitute willful or intentional interference with the Design/Builder's performance of the Work without clear and convincing proof that they were the result of a deliberate act, without any reasonable and good-faith basis, and were specifically intended to disrupt the Design/Builder's performance of the Work. The City's attempts to facilitate or assist Design/Builder in performance of the Work shall in no way be construed, interpreted and/or be deemed to constitute willful or intentional interference with the Design/Builder's performance of the Work. c. Except as provided herein, Design/Builder hereby waives all other remedies at law or in equity that it might otherwise have against the City on account of any Excusable Delay and any and all other events that may, from time to time, delay the Design/Builder in the performance of the Work. Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that, except as specified herein, all delays or events and their potential impacts on the performance by the Design/Builder are specifically contemplated and acknowledged by the Parties in entering into this Agreement and that Design/Builder's pricing of the Work and the determination of the Contract Price shall be expressly based on the Design/Builder's assumption of the risks thereof, and Design/Builder hereby waives any and all Claims it might have for any of the foregoing losses, costs, damages and expenses. 12.2. Extensions to the Contract Time. a. Excusable Delays. Design/Builder's sole remedy for Excusable Delay is an extension of the Contract Time for each day of critical path delay, but only if the pre-requisites and notice requirements of Subsection 12.4 below have been timely and properly satisfied. An Excusable Delay is one that (i) directly impacts critical path activity delineated in the Project Schedule and extends the time for completion of the Work; (ii) could not reasonably have been mitigated by Design/Builder, including by re-sequencing, reallocating, redeploying and/or increasing the amount of its forces to other portions of the Work; and (iii) is caused by Force 62 Majeure (as defined in Subsection 12.c below) or other circumstances beyond the control and due to no fault of Design/Builder or its Subcontractors, material, persons, Suppliers, or Vendors ("Excusable Delay"). If two or more separate events of Excusable Delay are concurrent with each other, Design/Builder shall only be entitled to an extension of time for each day of such concurrent critical path delay, and Design/Builder shall not be entitled to double recovery thereon. For illustration purposes only, if two events of Excusable Delay are concurrent for two days, Design/Builder shall only receive a time extension of a total of two days, and not four days. b. Inclement weather may be grounds for an Excusable Delay when rains or other inclement weather conditions result in Design/Builder being unable to work at least fifty percent (50%) of the normal work shift on controlling items of Work identified on the accepted updated progress schedule submitted pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement. Time extensions for weather delays shall not be automatic and must be requested in accordance with the notice and other requirements of Article 12 hereof. No time extension for weather-related delays will be permitted until the Design/Builder demonstrates that the total number of days in any given month by which the Design/Builder has been delayed due to adverse weather conditions in accordance with this Section exceeds the number of days corresponding with each month below, as follows: JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC Days: 06 06 06 06 10 15 16 17 17 13 08 06 , Time extensions in any given month shall only be allowable for adverse weather days in excess of the days corresponding for each respective month as set forth above. c. A Force Majeure event may be grounds for an Excusable Delay. A "Force Majeure" event is an event that (1) in fact causes a delay in the performance of a Party's obligations under the Contract Documents, and (2) is beyond the reasonable control of the Party incurring the delay, and (3) is not due to an intentional act, error, omission, or negligence of such Party, and (4) could not have reasonably been foreseen and prepared for by such Party at any time prior to the occurrence of the event. Subject to the foregoing criteria, Force Majeure may include events such as war, civil insurrection, riot, fires, epidemics, sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions, quarantine restrictions, transportation accidents, strikes, floods, strong hurricanes or tornadoes, earthquakes, or other acts of God which prevent performance. Force Majeure shall not include technological impossibility, failure of equipment supplied by Design/Builder, receipt of and incorporation of defective materials into the Work, failure of Suppliers to deliver equipment and materials except where such failure is itself the result of a Force Majeure event, or failure of Design/Builder to secure the required permits for prosecution of the Work. If Design/Builder's performance of its obligation under the Contract Documents is prevented or delayed by an event believed by Design/Builder to be Force Majeure, Design/Builder shall immediately upon learning of the occurrence of the event or of the commencement of any such delay, but in no case exceeding the time period set forth in Subsection 12.4, provide written Notice to the City, (1) of the occurrence of the delay, (2) of the nature of the event and the cause thereof, (3) of the anticipated impact on the Work, (4) of the anticipated period of the delay, and (5) of what course of action Design/Builder plans to take in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of the event. Design/Builder's timely delivery to City of the Notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event is a strict condition precedent to 63 allowance of an extension of time under this Section; however, receipt of such Notice by City shall not constitute acceptance that the event claimed to be a Force Majeure event is in fact Force Majeure. The burden of proof of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall be on Design/Builder. Failure to give such Notice promptly within such time limit and/or without the information required as set forth herein may be deemed sufficient reason for denial by City of any extension of time. ii. If in the opinion of City the event was a Force Majeure event, Design/Builder shall be entitled to such extension of time for completing the Project as, in the opinion of City, is reasonable and equitable. iii. The suspension of Design/Builder's performance of the Work due to a Force Majeure event shall be of no greater scope and no longer in duration than is absolutely required. Design/Builder shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations are not affected or are only partially affected by the Force Majeure event, and to correct or cure the event or condition excusing performance and otherwise to remedy its inability to perform the Work to the extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure event. iv. Design/Builder's obligations that arose before the occurrence of a Force Majeure event causing the suspension of performance shall not be excused as a result of such occurrence unless such occurrence makes such performance not reasonably possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for obligations and liabilities which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject to the Force Majeure provisions. d. If an event of delay satisfying all requirements herein to constitute Excusable Delay directly arises from an act or omission of the City relating to its obligations under the Contract Documents, no such act or omission shall be deemed an Excusable Delay unless and until the Design/Builder shall have first provided the City with written notice setting forth a description of the specific acts or omissions adversely affecting the progress of the Work and the City shall have failed, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such written notice, to have responded in any way to the written Notice, (whether agreeing or disputing Design/Builder's claimed event of delay) or commenced to address or correct the act or omission described in the Design/Builder's notice; and provided further, if the City fails to correct such act or omission, the period of any such Excusable Delay shall be deemed to have commenced on the date the City received the aforesaid written notice from the Design/Builder. e. Any extension of time for Excusable Delay will depend upon the extent to which the delay affects the Project Schedule and will only extend the scheduled dates for the items of the Work so delayed and shall be net of any available "float" time included in the Project Schedule or Construction Schedule. Scheduled dates for other portions of the Work not so delayed will remain unchanged. Delays which do not affect the Critical Path of the Project Schedule will not entitle Design/Builder to an extension of time regardless of whether they may otherwise satisfy the other requirements for an Excusable Delay. f. Design/Builder's sole remedy for the occurrence of Excusable Delays shall be an extension of time for the activities on the Project Schedule, in accordance with Section 12.2(a). In lieu of providing a time extension for an Excusable Delay, subject to City's approval at its sole discretion, City and Design/Builder may agree for Design/Builder to work on approved evening or Saturday shifts. However, nothing contained herein, shall require the City to agree or permit Design/Builder to work on any evening and/or Saturday shifts and the failure to grant such 64 permission shall not, in any way, excuse the Design/Builder from timely performing the Work in accordance with the approved Project Schedule. 12.3 Unexcusable Delays. "Unexcusable Delay" shall mean any delays not included within the definition of Excusable Delay as set forth above including, without limitation, any delay which extends the completion of the Work or portion of the Work beyond the time specified in the Project Schedule including, without limitation, the Substantial Completion Date and any Milestone and which is caused by the act, fault, inaction or omission of the Design/Builder or any Consultant, Design Subconsultant, Subcontractor, Supplier or other party for whom the Design/Builder is responsible; any delay that could have been limited or avoided by Design/Builder's timely notice to the City of such delay; or any delay in obtaining licenses, permits or inspections that are the responsibility of the Design/Builder or its Consultant, Design Subconsultant, Subcontractors, Suppliers or any other party for whom the Design/Builder is responsible. An Unexcusable Delay shall not be cause for granting an extension of time to complete any Work or any compensation whatsoever, and shall subject the Design/Builder to damages in accordance with the Contract Documents. In no event shall the Design/Builder be excused for interim delays which do not extend the Project Schedule, including the Substantial Completion Date, or any Milestones. 12.4. Prerequisites and Notice Requirements for Extensions of Time. Except as provided in Article 11 with respect to Changes in the Work, an extension of the Contract Time will only be granted by the City under the following circumstances: (a) if a delay occurs as a result of an Excusable Delay, and (b) the Design/Builder has complied with each of the following requirements below to the reasonable satisfaction of the City: a. Design/Builder shall provide written notice to the City of any event of delay or potential delay within two (2) business days of the commencement of the event giving rise to the request. The Design/Builder, within ten (10) days of the date upon which the Design/Builder has knowledge of the delay, shall notify the City, in writing, of the cause of the delay, stating the approximate number of days the Design/Builder expects to be delayed, and must make a request for an extension of time, if applicable, to the City, in writing, within ten (10) days after the cessation of the event causing the delay, specifying the number of days the Design/Builder believes that its activities were in fact delayed by the cause(s) described in its initial notice. b. The Design/Builder must show to the reasonable satisfaction of the City that the activity claimed to have been delayed was in fact delayed by the stated cause of delay, that the critical path of the Work was materially affected by the delay, that the delay in such activity was not concurrent with any Unexcusable Delay, and that the delay in such activity will result in a delay of the Substantial Completion Date in the Project Schedule or any other Milestone. c. The initial notice provided by the Design/Builder under Subsection (a) above shall provide an estimated number of days the Design/Builder believes it will be delayed and describe the efforts of the Design/Builder that have been or are going to be undertaken to overcome or remove the Excusable Delay and to minimize the potential adverse effect on the cost and time for performance of the Work resulting from such Excusable Delay. The mere written notice of an event of delay or potential delay, without all of the aforementioned required information, is insufficient and will not toll the time period in which the Design/Builder must provide proper written notice under this Article. 65 d. Design//Builder's strict compliance with this Section is a condition precedent to receipt of an extension of the Contract Time. Failure of the Design/Builder to comply with all requirements as to any particular event of delay, including the requirements of this Section, shall be deemed conclusively to constitute a waiver, abandonment or relinquishment of any entitlement to an extension of time and all Claims resulting from that particular event of Project delay. Once the Parties have mutually agreed as to the adjustment in the Contract Time due to an Excusable Delay if any, they shall enter into a Change Order documenting the same. e. If the City and Design/Builder cannot resolve a request for time extension made properly and timely under this Section within sixty (60) days following submission, the Design/Builder may re-submit the request as a Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 15 of this Agreement. f. Design/Builder's Duty. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement allowing the Design/Builder to claim delay due to Excusable Delay, whenever an Excusable Delay shall occur, the Design/Builder shall use all reasonable efforts to overcome or remove any such Excusable Delay, and shall provide the City with written notice of the Design/Builder's recommendations on how best to minimize any adverse effect on the time for performing the Work resulting from such Excusable Delay. In furtherance of the foregoing, whenever there shall be any Excusable Delay, the Design/Builder shall use all reasonable efforts to adjust the Project scheduling and the sequencing and timing of the performance of the Work in a manner that will avoid, to the extent reasonably practicable, any Excusable Delay giving rise to an actual extension in the time for performance of the Work. ARTICLE 13 CORRECTION OF WORK 13.1. Correction of Work Prior to Completion. Prior to the Substantial Completion Date, the Design/Builder shall, at the earliest practical opportunity, correct Work (including any drawings, plans, specifications, items of construction or fabrication, or any other product constituting a part of or component of the Work) (i) which the City, RPR and/or Consultant reasonably rejects as defective or nonconforming to the Contract Documents (whether arising from a design or construction defect, error, omission or deficiency) in a written notice delivered to the Design/Builder at any time, or (ii) which is otherwise known by the Design/Builder or any Consultant, Design Subconsultant, Subcontractor or Supplier to be defective or nonconforming to the Contract Documents. If other portions of the Work are adversely affected by, or are damaged by, such defective Work, the Design/Builder shall, at the earliest practical opportunity, correct, repair or replace such affected or damaged Work as well as any other property of the City damaged by such defective or nonconforming Work, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. The cost of correcting any such Work shall not be reimbursable by the City and shall be borne by the Design/Builder at its sole cost and expense. Nothing in the foregoing shall preclude the Design/Builder from paying such costs and expenses from any insurance proceeds received by the Design/Builder under the insurance maintained under this Agreement. 13.2. Correction of Work after Substantial Completion. For a period of twelve (12) months from the Substantial Completion Date, the Design/Builder shall, promptly after receipt of notice from the City, and at its sole cost and expense, including the cost and expense of additional architectural, engineering and other professional services and inspection and testing 66 services, re-execute, correct, repair and replace all Work found to be defective or nonconforming to the Contract Documents (whether arising from a design or construction defect, error, omission or deficiency) and all portions of the Work adversely affected by or damaged by such defective or nonconforming Work and all other property of the City which is damaged by such defective or nonconforming Work.,. The Parties understand and agree that the preceding language shall in no way limit the City's right or ability to recover from the Design/Builder for defective or nonconforming Work, or errors or omissions, to the extent such defective or non-conforming Work, errors or omissions constitute a breach of the Contract Documents, or otherwise constitutes the negligent performance of the Work or the obligations of the Design/Builder hereunder. The Design/Builder shall use its best efforts to remedy any of the foregoing matters so as to minimize revenue loss to the City and to avoid disruption of the City's operations at, or adjacent to, the Project Site. Design/Builder shall initiate and diligently pursue corrective action within seven (7) days after receipt of notice from the City, unless such matters involve life safety issues, in which case Design/Builder shall immediately initiate all corrective actions as may be necessary. All such corrective work must be completed within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the City. In the event of a reoccurrence of defective or nonconforming Work, the City may require replacement of the Work, at Design/Builder's sole cost and expense, if any prior correction action was insufficient. If Design/Builder undertakes any corrective action to repair or replace any defective or nonconforming Work, and such Work is subsequently found to be defective or nonconforming, the City may undertake the repair and perform the Work at Design/Builder's sole cost and expense. 13.3. No Limitation. Nothing contained in Section 13.2 of this Agreement shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations of the Design/Builder under the Contract Documents, nor shall any such provisions be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to the City's rights and remedies in the event of the discovery of any defects in the Work whether or not such defects are discussed before the 12 month period following the Substantial Completion Date. The preceding Section 13.2 relates only to the specific obligation of the Design/Builder to personally correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced against the Design/Builder, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Design/Builder's liability with respect to the Design/Builder's obligations or recover damages in connection therewith. 13.4. City's Ricjht to Stop Work. If, prior to the Substantial Completion Date, the Design/Builder persistently fails to correct defective Work as and when required hereunder, or persistently or materially fails to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the City may deliver a notice to the Design/Builder's Project Manager setting forth that such a persistent or material failure is occurring and has occurred, and demanding that the Design/Builder commence to cure such persistent or material failure within fourteen (14) days and diligently pursue such cure thereafter. In the event that the cure is not commenced and pursued to the reasonable satisfaction of the City within such 14-day period, the City may, by written directive or consent of the Contract Administrator, order the Design/Builder to stop the Work, or the portion of the Work to which such notice relates, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; provided, however, the City's right to stop the Work shall not have given rise to a duty on the part of the City to exercise the right for the benefit of the Design/Builder or other persons or entities and shall not give rise to any liability of the City to the Design/Builder resulting from delay. The Design/Builder shall not have any Claim for an increase in the Contract Price or a change in the Project Schedule due to stoppage in the Work or restarting the Work pursuant to this Section. 67 13.5. City's Right to Correct Deficiencies. If, prior to the Substantial Completion Date, the Design/Builder fails, within fourteen (14) days after receipt of written notice from the City, to commence and continue correction of any defective or nonconforming Work with diligence and promptness to the satisfaction of the City, without prejudice to any other remedies the City may have, including declaring the Design/Builder in Default, and with or without terminating this Agreement in whole or in part, the City may correct such deficiencies, and deduct an amount equal to the expenditures incurred by the City in so doing from amounts due or to become due to the Design/Builder. If the payments then or thereafter due to the Design/Builder are not sufficient to cover the amount of the expenditures incurred by the City which are subject to deduction or Final Payment to Design/Builder has been made, upon demand, the Design/Builder shall pay the difference to the City. ARTICLE 14 INDEMNIFICATION 14.1. In consideration of the sum of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which the Design/Builder hereby acknowledges, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Design/Builder shall defend, indemnify and save harmless City and Design Criteria Professional, and their respective officers and employees, from liabilities, damages, losses and costs including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongful misconduct of Design/Builder and persons employed or utilized by Design/Builder in the performance of this Agreement. It is expressly understood that the monetary limitation on such indemnification shall be the approved Contract Price, as may be increased by duly executed Change Orders. 14.2. Design/Builder shall also, at its own expense, defend any and all claims asserted against the City resulting from, arising out of, or incurred in connection with the Agreement. Design/Builder shall be entitled to select counsel of Design/Builder's choice to defend the claim asserted against the City; provided, however, that such counsel shall first be approved by the City Attorney, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed; and, provided further, that the City shall be permitted, at its cost and expense, to retain independent counsel to monitor the claim proceeding. The duty to defend set forth in this Section 14.2 shall be severable and independent from the indemnity obligations otherwise set forth in this Section 14, to the extent that if any other provisions and/or subsections of this Section 14 are deemed invalid and/or unenforceable, this duty to defend provision shall remain in full force and effect. 14.3. Sums otherwise due to Design/Builder under this Agreement may be retained by City until all of City's Claims for indemnification under this Agreement have been settled or otherwise resolved. Any amount withheld pursuant to this Section 14.3 or otherwise under Section 14 shall not be subject to payment of interest by City. 14.4. The execution of this Agreement by Design/Builder shall operate as an express acknowledgment that the indemnification obligation is part of the bid documents and/or Contract Documents for the Project and the monetary limitation on indemnification in this Section 14 bears a reasonable commercial relationship to the Agreement. 14.5. Nothing in this Section 14 is intended, or should be construed, to negate, abridge or otherwise reduce the other rights and obligations of indemnity that may otherwise exist as to a party described in Section 14.1. 68 14.6. Nothing in this Section 14 is intended to create in the public or any member thereof, a third party beneficiary hereunder, or to authorize anyone not a party to this Agreement, to maintain a suit for personal injuries or property damage pursuant to the terms or provisions of this Agreement. 14.7. The defense and indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 14 shall survive the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement. ARTICLE 15 CLAIMS, DISPUTE AVOIDANCE AND RESOLUTION 15.1. Claims. a. Claims must be initiated by written notice and, unless otherwise specified in Section 11.8 or otherwise in this Agreement, submitted to the other party within twenty-one (21) days of the event giving rise to such Claim or within 21 days after the claimant reasonably should have recognized the event or condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. Such Claim shall include sufficient information to advise the other party of the circumstances giving rise to the Claim, the specific contractual adjustment or relief requested including, without limitation, the amounts and number of days of delay sought, and the basis of such request. The Claim must include all job records and other documentation supporting entitlement, the amounts and time sought. In the event additional time is sought, the Design/Builder shall include a time impact analysis to support such Claim. The City shall be entitled to request additional job records or documentation to evaluate the Claim. The Claim shall also include the Design/Builder's written notarized certification of the Claim in accordance with the False Claims Ordinance, Sections 70-300 et seq., of the City Code. b. Claims not timely made or otherwise not submitted in strict accordance with the requirements of this Section 15 or other Contract Documents shall be deemed conclusively waived, the satisfaction of which shall be conditions precedent to entitlement. c. Design/Builder assumes all risks for the following items, none of which shall be the subject of any Change Order or Claim and none of which shall be compensated for except as they may have been included in the Design/Builder's Contract Price as provided in the Contract Documents: Loss of any anticipated profits, loss of bonding capacity or capability losses, loss of business opportunities, loss of productivity on this or any other project, loss of interest income on funds not paid, inefficiencies, costs to prepare a bid, cost to prepare a quote for a change in the Work, costs to prepare, negotiate or prosecute Claims, and loss of projects not bid upon, or any other indirect and consequential costs not listed herein. No compensation shall be made for loss of anticipated profits from any deleted Work. 15.2. Dispute Avoidance and Resolution. a. Claims shall first be submitted to the City for initial recommendation for determination by the City at the time and in the manner specified in Section 15.1 herein unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or other Contract Documents. The City shall render an initial recommendation for determination of such Claim, in writing, as soon as practicable, but not later than forty-five (45) days of receipt of such Claim, unless the parties mutually stipulate otherwise in writing or other circumstances warrant a time extension as determined by the City. Failure to render a written decision within the 45 days, or a later date if stipulated by the parties, shall be considered a denial of the Claim submitted by the claimant. 69 b. In order to preserve for review an initial recommendation for determination of the City at mediation and/or by a court of competent jurisdiction (as applicable), then the party seeking review shall notify the other party in writing within fifteen (15) days of such recommendation by the City or, if no recommendation, within 15 days of when the Claim is denied as a result of inaction by the City. Failure to timely preserve review of the City's written recommendation or denial by inaction shall constitute a waiver of such Claim or entitlement to such objection and the recommendation of the City (whether by affirmative written recommendation or denial by inaction) shall be deemed final and binding, but subject to mediation and litigation (as applicable). c. If the City agrees to pay a portion of the Claim, the Design/Builder may reserve the remaining portion of the Claim by executing a conditional release in a Change Order, which states the remaining amount and time sought and identifies the particular scope of Work to which the reservation applies. Unspecified amounts or time claimed will not preserve a Claim or right to a Claim. Each Change Order shall contain a release and waiver of all Claims as of the date the Design/Builder executes the Change Order, except as specifically included in a reservation of Claims within the Change Order. The reservation of Claims shall, as to each reserved individual Claim, state the amount and time sought in the Claim and identify the scope of Work giving rise to the Claim. Any Claim not included in the reservation of Claims or that fails to specify the amount and/or time sought are deemed waived and abandoned. d. In the event any Claims which have been timely preserved remain unresolved by Substantial Completion, then the parties shall participate in mediation within sixty (60) days, unless the City terminates the Agreement, which shall render such mediation moot. If the City determines, at its sole and absolute discretion, that it would be beneficial to mediate any particular Claims at any time prior to Substantial Completion, then any such Claims shall be submitted to mediation at the City's election. The parties shall mutually agree to the selection of a mediator, and mediation, which shall be confidential in the same manner as Court-ordered mediation, shall take place within the 60-day post-Substantial Completion time period, unless both parties mutually agree otherwise. The parties shall split the mediator's fees equally. Participation in mediation shall be a condition precedent to filing suit in a court of competent jurisdiction unless otherwise excused by the terms of this Article 15 or stipulated by both parties in writing. e. In the event of a dispute arising after Substantial Completion, Final Progress Payment or Final Completion, mediation is encouraged but is not a condition precedent to litigation. 15.3. Duty to Continue Performance. Pending resolution of any dispute, the Design/Builder shall proceed and shall cause its Subcontractors to proceed diligently with the performance of its duties and obligations under the Contract Documents and the City shall continue to make payments of undisputed amounts in accordance with the Contract Documents. The failure of the Design/Builder to continue prosecution of the Work in the event of a pending dispute shall be deemed a Default pursuant to Section 16.2 of this Agreement. 15.4. Final Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute arising after Final Progress Payment or Final Completion, or a dispute which arose prior to Substantial Completion, has been preserved and which was not successfully resolved at mediation, a court of competent jurisdiction in Miami-Dade County shall hear such disputes. The parties hereby waive a trial by jury, which requirement shall be included in each and every Subcontract, sub-consulting 70 agreement and purchase order that Design/Builder executes, in connection with its Work on the Project. ARTICLE 16 TERMINATION 16.1. Termination for Convenience. In addition to other rights the City may have at law and pursuant to the Contract Documents with respect to cancellation and termination of the Agreement, the City may, in its sole discretion, terminate for the City's convenience the performance of Work under this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time upon written notice to the Design/Builder. The City shall effectuate such Termination for Convenience by delivering to the Design/Builder a Notice of Termination for Convenience, specifying the applicable scope and effective date of termination, which termination shall be deemed operative as of the effective date specified therein without any further written notices from the City required. Such Termination for Convenience shall not be deemed a breach of the Agreement, and may be issued by the City with or without cause. a. Upon receipt of such Notice of Termination for Convenience from the City, and except as otherwise directed by the City, the Design/Builder shall immediately proceed with the following obligations, regardless of any delay in determining or adjusting any amounts due under this Section 16.1: Stop the Work specified as terminated in the Notice of Termination for Convenience; ii. Promptly notify all Subcontractors of such termination, cancel all contracts and purchase orders to the extent they relate to the Work terminated to the fullest extent possible and take such other actions as are necessary to minimize demobilization and termination costs for such cancellations; iii. Immediately deliver to the City all Design Materials as defined in Section 22.10 hereof, in their original/native electronic format (i.e. CAD, Word, Excel, etc.), any and all other unfinished documents, and any and all warranties and guaranties for Work, equipment or materials already installed or purchased. The Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that all amounts previously paid to the Design/Builder with respect to the creation and preparation of Design Materials in approved Applications for Payment, along with the final payment for the Design Materials, to be based on the percent completion of the Design Materials, shall include the consideration to Design/Builder for City's ownership and receipt of Design Materials, with final payment for Design Materials shall be provided after receipt of Design Materials; iv. If specifically directed by the City in writing, assign to the City all right, title and interest of Design/Builder under any contract, subcontract and/or purchase order, in which case the City shall have the right and obligation to settle or to pay any outstanding claims arising from said contracts, subcontracts or purchase orders; v. Place no further subcontracts or purchase orders for materials, services, or facilities, except as necessary to complete the portion of the Work not terminated (if any) under the Notice of Termination for Convenience; vi. As directed by the City, transfer title and deliver to the City (1) the fabricated and non-fabricated parts, Work in progress, completed Work, supplies and other 71 material produced or required for the Work terminated; and (2) the completed or partially completed Project records that, if this Agreement had been completed, would be required to be furnished to the City; vii. Settle all outstanding liabilities and termination settlement proposals from the termination of any subcontracts or purchase orders, with the prior approval or ratification to the extent required by the City (if any); viii. Take any action that may be necessary, or that the City may direct, for the protection and preservation of the Project Site, including life safety and any property related to this Agreement that is in the Design/Builder's possession and in which the City has or may acquire an interest; and ix. Complete performance of the Work not terminated (if any). b. Upon issuance of such Notice of Termination for Convenience, the Design/Builder shall only be entitled to payment for the Work satisfactorily performed up until the date of its receipt of such Notice of Termination for Convenience, but no later than the effective date specified therein. Payment for the Work satisfactorily performed shall be determined by the City in good faith, in accordance with the percent completion of the Design Materials less all amounts previously paid to the Design/Builder with respect to the creation and preparation of Design Materials in approved Applications for Payment, the reasonable costs of demobilization and reasonable costs, if any, for canceling contracts and purchase orders with Subcontractors to the extent such costs are not reasonably avoidable by the Design/Builder. Design/Builder shall submit, for the City's review and consideration, a final termination payment proposal with substantiating documentation, including an updated Schedule of Values, within 30 days of the effective date of termination, unless extended in writing by the City upon request. Such termination amount shall be mutually agreed upon by the City and the Design/Builder and absent such agreement, the City shall, no less than fifteen (15) days prior to making final payment, provide the Design/Builder with written notice of the amount the City intends to pay to the Design/Builder. Such final payment so made to the Design/Builder shall be in full and final settlement for Work performed under this Agreement, except to the extent the Design/Builder disputes such amount in a written notice delivered to and received by the City prior to the City's tendering such final payment. 16.2. Event of Default. The following shall each be considered an item of Default. If, after delivery of written notice from the City to Design/Builder specifying such Default, the Design/Builder fails to promptly commence and thereafter complete the curing of such Default within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, after the delivery of such Notice of Default, it shall be deemed an Event of Default, which constitutes sufficient grounds for the City to terminate Design/Builder for cause: a. Failing to perform design services or any other portion of the Work in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Contract Documents or within the time required therein; or failing to use the, Subcontractors, entities and personnel as identified and set forth, and to the degree specified, in the Contract Documents, subject to substitutions approved by the City in accordance with this Agreement and the other Contract Documents; 72 b. Failing, for reasons other than an Excusable Event of Delay, to begin the Work required promptly following the issuance of a Notice to Proceed; c. Failing to perform the Work with sufficient manpower, workmen and equipment or with sufficient materials, with the effect of delaying the prosecution of the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule and/or delaying completion of any of the Project within the specified time; d. Failing, for reasons other than an Excusable Event of Delay, to timely complete the Project within the specified time; e. Failing and/or refusing to remove, repair and/or replace any portion of the Work as may be rejected as defective or nonconforming with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents; f. Discontinuing the prosecution of the Work, except in the event of: 1) the issuance of a stop-work order by the City; or 2) the inability of the Design/Builder to prosecute the Work because of an event giving rise to an Excusable Event of Delay as set forth in this Agreement for which Design/Builder has provided written notice of same in accordance with the Contract Documents; g. Failing to provide sufficient evidence upon request that, in the City's sole opinion, demonstrates the Design/Builder's financial ability to complete the Project; h. An indictment is issued against the Design/Builder; Failing to make payments to for materials or labor in accordance with the respective agreements; j. Persistently disregarding laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction; k. Fraud, misrepresentation or material misstatement by Design/Builder in the course of obtaining this Agreement; Failing to comply in any material respect with any of the terms of this Agreement or the Contract Documents. In no event shall the time period for curing a Default constitute an extension of the Substantial Completion Date or a waiver of any of the City's rights or remedies hereunder for a Default which is not cured as aforesaid. 16.3. Termination of Agreement for Cause. a. The City may terminate the Design/Builder for cause upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Section 16.2, or for any other breach of the Agreement or other Contract Documents by the Design/Builder that the City, in its sole opinion, deems substantial and material, following written notice to the Design/Builder and the failure to timely and properly cure to the satisfaction of the City in the time period set forth in Section 16.2, or as otherwise specified in the Notice of Default. 73 b. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without any prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the City, whether provided by this Agreement, the other Contract Documents or as otherwise provided at law or in equity, the City may issue a Notice of Termination for Cause to Design/Builder, copied to the Surety, rendering termination effective immediately, and may take any of the following actions, subject to any prior rights of the Surety: Take possession of the Project site and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by Design/Builder; ii. Accept assignments of subcontracts; iii. Direct Design/Builder to transfer title and deliver to the City (1) the fabricated and non-fabricated parts, Work in progress, completed Work, supplies and other material produced or required for the Work terminated; and (2) the completed or partially completed Project records that, if this Agreement had been completed, would be required to be furnished to the City; and iv. Finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the City may deem expedient. c. Upon the issuance of a Notice of Termination for Cause, the Design/Builder shall: Immediately deliver to the City all Design Materials as defined in Section 22.10 hereof, in their original/native electronic format (i.e. CAD, Word, Excel, etc.), any and all other unfinished documents, and any and all warranties and guaranties for Work, equipment or materials already installed or purchased; ii. If specifically directed by the City in writing, assign to the City all right, title and interest of Design/Builder under any contract, subcontract and/or purchase order, in which case the City shall have the right and obligation to settle or to pay any outstanding claims arising from said contracts, subcontracts or purchase orders; iii. As directed by the City, transfer title and deliver to the City (1) the fabricated and non-fabricated parts, Work in progress, completed Work, supplies and other material produced or required for the Work terminated; and (2) the completed or partially completed Project records that, if this Agreement had been completed, would be required to be furnished to the City; and iv. Take any action that may be necessary, or that the City may direct, for the protection and preservation of the Project Site, including life safety and property related to this Agreement that is in the Design/Builder's possession and in which the City has or may acquire an interest. d. The rights and remedies of the City under Article 16 shall apply to all Defaults are non-curable in nature (including, without limitation, a breach of Section 22.23 of this Agreement), or that fail to be cured within the applicable cure period or are cured but in an untimely manner, and the City shall not be obligated to accept such late cure. 74 16.4. Recourse to Performance and Payment Bond; Other Remedies. a. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and irrespective of whether the City has terminated the Design/Builder, the City may (i) make demand upon the Surety to perform its obligations under the Performance and Payment Bond, including completion of the Work, without requiring any further agreement (including, without limitation, not requiring any takeover agreement) or mandating termination of Design/Builder as a condition precedent to assuming the bond obligations; or (ii) in the alternative, the City may take over and complete the Work of the Project, or any portion thereof, by its own devices, by entering into a new contract or contracts for the completion of the Work, or using such other methods as in the City's sole opinion shall be required for the proper completion of the Work, including succeeding to the rights of the Design/Builder under all subcontracts as contemplated by Article 16. b. The City may also charge against the Performance and Payment Bond all fees and expenses for services incidental to ascertaining and collecting losses under the Performance and Payment Bond including, without limitation, accounting, engineering, and legal fees, together with any and all costs incurred in connection with renegotiation of the Agreement. 16.5. Costs and Expenses. a. All damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the City as a result of an uncured Default or a Default cured beyond the time limits stated herein (except to the extent the City has expressly consented, in writing, to the Design/Builder's late cure of such Default), together with the costs of completing the Work, shall be deducted from any monies due or to become due to the Design/Builder under this Agreement, Irrespective of whether the City ultimately terminates Design/Builder. b. Upon issuing a Notice of Termination for Cause, the City shall have no obligation to pay Design/Builder, and the Design/Builder shall not be entitled to receive, any money until such time as the Project has been completed and the costs to make repairs and/or complete the Project have been ascertained by the City. In case such cost and expense is greater than the sum which would have been due and payable to the Design/Builder under this Agreement for any portion of the Work satisfactorily performed, the Design/Builder and the Surety shall be jointly and severally liable and shall pay the difference to the City upon demand. 16.6. Termination If No Default or Erroneous Default. If, after a Notice of Termination for Cause is issued by the City, it is thereafter determined that the Design/Builder was not in default under the provisions of this Agreement, or that any delay hereunder was an Excusable Event of Delay, the termination shall be converted to a Termination for Convenience and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the notice of termination had been issued pursuant to the termination for convenience clause contained in Section 16.1. The Design/Builder shall have no further recourse of any nature for wrongful termination. 16.7. Remedies Not Exclusive. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, no remedy under the terms of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedies, existing now or hereafter, at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or 75 acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient. 16.8. Design/Builder Right to Stop Work. If the Project should be stopped under an order of any court or other public authority for a period of more than ninety (90) days due to no act or fault of Design/Builder or persons or entities within its control, or if the City should fail to pay the Design/Builder any material amount owing pursuant to an Approved Application for Payment in accordance with the Contract Documents and after receipt of all supporting documentation required pursuant Article 8, and if the City fails to make such payment within ninety (90) days after receipt of written notice from the Design/Builder identifying the Approved Application for Payment for which payment is outstanding, then, unless the City is withholding such payment pursuant to Article 8) hereof or any other provision of this Agreement which entitles the City to so withhold such payment, the Design/Builder shall have the right upon the expiration of the aforesaid ninety (90) day period to stop its performance of the Work, provided that Design/Builder has sent a Notice to Cure to the City via certified mail, allowing for a 7 day cure period. In such event, Design/Builder may terminate this Agreement and recover from City payment for all Work executed and reasonable expense sustained (but excluding compensation for any item prohibited by Article 15 and other provisions of the Contract Documents). In the alternative to termination, Design/Builder shall not be obligated to recommence the Work until such time as the City shall have made payment to the Design/Builder in respect of such Approved Application for Payment, plus any actual and reasonable related demobilization and start-up costs evidenced by documentation reasonably satisfactory to the City. Except as set forth in this Section 16.8, no act, event, circumstance or omission shall excuse or relieve the Design/Builder from the full and faithful performance of its obligations hereunder and the completion of the Work as herein provided for. 16.9. Materiality and Non-Waiver of Breach. Each requirement, duty, and obligation in the Contract Documents is material. The City's failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or Amendment of this Agreement. A waiver shall not be effective unless it is in writing and approved by the City. A waiver of any breach of a provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach and the failure of the City to exercise its rights and remedies under this Article 16 at any time shall not constitute a waiver of such rights and remedies. ARTICLE 17 - SEPARATE CONTRACTS 17.1. Right to Award Separate Contracts. The City reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the City's own forces, and to award separate contracts to other contractors, including subcontractors, in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction or operations on and/or adjacent to the Project Site (collectively, "Separate Contractors"). 17.2. Integration of Work with Separate Contractors. Design/Builder shall afford Separate Contractors reasonable access to the Project Site for the execution of their work. Following the request of the City, the Design/Builder shall prepare a plan in order to integrate the work to be performed by the City or by Separate Contractors with the performance of the Work, and shall submit such plan to the City for approval. The Design/Builder shall arrange the performance of the Work so that the Work and the work of the City and the Separate Contractors are, to the extent applicable, properly integrated, joined in an acceptable manner 76 and performed in the proper sequence, so that any disruption or damage to the Work or to any work of the City or of Separate Contractors is avoided. 17.3. Coordination. Design/Builder shall conduct its Work so as not to interfere with, or hinder the progress of, completion of the construction performed by Separate Contractors, and Design/Builder and such other Separate Contractors shall cooperate with each other as directed by the Contract Administrator. a. The Design/Builder shall provide for coordination of the activities of the Design/Builder's (and its Subcontractors') own forces with the activities of each Separate Contractor and the City. The Design/Builder shall participate with all Separate Contractors and the City in reviewing and coordinating the schedules of the City and the Separate Contractors with the Project Schedule when directed to do so by the City. The Design/Builder shall make any revisions to the Project Schedule (but without extending the Substantial Completion Date) deemed necessary after a joint review with the City and mutual agreement. b. Coordination with Separate Contractors shall not be grounds for an extension of Contact Time or any adjustment in the Contract Price. Design/Builder agrees that its pricing of the Work and the determination of the Contract Price were expressly based upon the Design/Builder's assumption of the foregoing cost risks. 17.4. Use of Project Site. The Design/Builder shall afford the City and all Separate Contractors reasonable opportunity for storage of their materials and equipment, and performance of their work on and/or adjacent to the Project Site. The Design/Builder shall also coordinate its construction and operations with the City and all Separate Contractors' construction and operations as required by the Contract Documents. 17.5. Deficiency in Work of Separate Contractors. If to properly execute a portion of the Work, the Design/Builder depends upon the construction or operations by the City or a Separate Contractor, the Design/Builder shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the City apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that renders it unsuitable for proper execution Design/Builder Work. The Parties shall resolve in good faith any such discrepancies or defects or any disagreements relating thereto. Failure of the Design/Builder to so report shall constitute a representation by the Design/Builder to the City that the City's or Separate Contractor's completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Design/Builder's Work. However, although such representation constitutes a waiver of any rights of Design/Builder against the City for discrepancies or defects in such Separate Contractor's work, such representation shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of the Design/Builder against such Separate Contractor as a result of such discrepancies or defects. 17.6. Claims Involving Separate Contractors. Except as provided below, the Design/Builder shall assume all liability, financial and otherwise, in connection with the Work. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Design/Builder shall defend and save harmless the City against any Claims for damages, losses and costs, including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees, that may arise by a Separate Contractor or any other third party to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness or intentional wrongful misconduct of the Design/Builder and persons employed or utilized by the Design/Builder in the performance of the Agreement. a. In the event that the Design/Builder unnecessarily and unreasonably delays the work of Separate Contractors by not cooperating with them, or by not affording them reasonable opportunity or facility to perform their work as specified, the Design/Builder shall, in such event, 77 pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Separate Contractor(s) due to any such delays. The Design/Builder hereby authorizes the City to deduct the amount of such reasonable costs and expenses from any monies due or to become due, including Retainage, to the Design/Builder under this Agreement. b. If, through the acts and/or omissions of the Design/Builder or any Subcontractor, any Separate Contractor shall suffer loss or damage to its work, the Design/Builder agrees to compensate such Separate Contractor for any such loss or damage. If such Separate Contractor shall assert any Claim or bring any action against the City on account of any damage alleged to have been sustained, the City shall notify the Design/Builder, who, at its sole cost and expense, shall defend, indemnify and save harmless the City and pay and satisfy any judgment or award entered against the City in any such action and shall pay all costs and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the City therein or thereby, including reasonable attorney's fees. c. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the Design/Builder agrees that, despite the fact that such Separate Contractor is not in privity of contract with the Design/Builder, such Separate Contractor shall have the right to bring a direct cause of action against the Design/Builder for its (and its Subcontractors') acts and/or omissions under this Agreement which result in damages or losses to such Separate Contractor. The foregoing agreement of the Design/Builder shall, however, only be enforceable by Separate Contractors who grant such a direct cause of action to the Design/Builder under their respective separate contracts with the City and who have also agreed to assume the liabilities and obligations assumed by the Design/Builder under this Section 17.6. d. The Design/Builder shall promptly remedy damage caused by the Design/Builder or its Subcontractors to completed or partially completed construction or to property of the City or Separate Contractors. The City shall incorporate provisions comparable to those set forth in this Article 17 into each contract it enters into with a Separate Contractor, and accordingly notify the Design/Builder in writing. ARTICLE 18 GUARANTEES AND WARRANTIES 18.1. Guarantees and Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the Substantial Completion Date of the Work (or date of Partial Substantial Completion, as applicable), unless otherwise provided, and shall be in effect for a period of one (1) year, unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. To the extent there is any conflict as to the applicable time period of coverage for any Guarantee or Warranty to be provided by the Design/Builder under the Contract Documents, the longer period of time for any such Guarantee or Warranty shall govern, without regard to any Guarantees or Warranties provided by Subcontractors. Design/Builder shall provide the Guarantees and Warranties required by the Contract Documents, without regard to whether the Subcontractors or Suppliers provided the Guarantees and Warranties. 18.2. The Design/Builder shall correct all defects discovered within one (1) year (or such longer period of time if provided in the Contract Documents) following the Substantial Completion Date. Design/Builder shall commence repairs and/or replacement within ten (10) days after being notified by the City of the defect and will prosecute the repairs and/or replacement diligently until completed. For any replacement Work performed during the one- year period after the Substantial Completion Date, Design/Builder shall provide a new one-year Warranty for such replacement Work. 78 18.3. If the Design/Builder fails to act within ten (10) days, the City may have the repairs and/or replacement performed by others at the expense of the Design/Builder. 18.4. Written warranties furnished to the City are in addition to implied warranties, and shall not limit the duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise available under Applicable Law or the Contract Documents. The Design/Builder shall also furnish any special Guarantees or Warranties called for in the Contract Documents. ARTICLE 19 PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS/SUBSTITUTIONS 19.1. Whenever a material, article or piece of equipment is identified in the Contract Documents including, without limitation, in the DCP, by reference to manufacturers' or vendors' names, trade names, catalog numbers, or otherwise, it is intended merely to establish 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, after review and evaluation of the materials that must be submitted in support of the substitutions set forth in Section 19.2 herein, in the opinion of the Design Criteria Professional: (a) at least equal in quality, durability, appearance, strength and design; (b) performs at least equally the function imposed in the general design for the Project; (c) conforms, to the detailed requirements for the items as indicated by the Contract Documents; and (d) carries the same Guaranty or Warranty of the specified equipment. 19.2. All substitution requests will be made in accordance with the requirements in Division 1, of the Project specifications, via written request which shall include a Shop Drawing and/or Change Order which shall be attached to a detailed description of the originally specified item and a detailed description of the proposed substitution. A comparison letter itemizing all deviations from specified items must be included for the Design Criteria Professional to properly evaluate any proposed substitution. Failure to provide the deviation comparison letter shall automatically constitute a denial of the request. 19.3. Any changes, inclusive of design changes, made necessary to accommodate substituted equipment under this paragraph shall be at the sole expense of Design/Builder. 19.4. Consultant's written consent will be required as to acceptability, and no substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without the Design Criteria Professional's prior written acceptance, which will be evidenced by an accepted Shop Drawing or other written approval provided by the DCP or Contract Administrator. City may require Design/Builder to furnish, at Design/Builder's expense, a special performance Guarantee or other warranty with respect to any substitute. ARTICLE 20 PUBLIC INFORMATION Design/Builder shall coordinate with and assist the City and its Public Information Officer with respect to all matters relating to the Project. At all times, Design/Builder shall provide accurate and current information to the fullest extent possible, and shall assist in identifying potential impacts that should be communicated in advance with the public including, but not limited to, matters relating to maintenance of traffic plans, road closures, and other Work 79 that may involve substantial noise or other disruptions. Design/Builder shall participate in public meetings and other public relations efforts with the community, as necessary. ARTICLE 21 QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE In accordance with the requirements of Appendix E and Division 1 of the Project Specifications, the Design/Builder shall be responsible and accountable for the quality control of the Work including, without limitation, all quality control testing and inspections for the Work. The Design/Builder shall supervise the Work of all Subcontractors, reviewing construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures, providing instructions to each when their Work does not conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Design/Builder shall be responsible for ensuring that each Subcontractor makes whatever necessary corrections are required in a timely manner, so as to not affect the efficient and timely progress of the Work. The Design/Builder shall receive copies of all Claims or reports issued by the Consultant (with copy to the City) relative to the performance or acceptability of Work. Should disagreement occur between the Design/Builder and either the Contract Administrator or the Consultant over acceptability of Work and its conformance with the requirements of the Contract Documents of the Project, the City shall be the final judge of performance and acceptability, and noncompliant Work shall be corrected accordingly. The City may employ independent firm(s) for verification testing of the quality control testing performed by or on behalf of Design/Builder. However, the City shall not be obligated to have such verification testing performed, nor shall its commissioning, or election not to commission, such verification testing relieve Design/Builder of its independent obligations under the Contract Documents to perform such quality control testing and inspections and ensure the Work complies with the Contract Documents. The Design/Builder will exercise reasonable care and diligence in discovering and promptly reporting to City any defects or deficiencies in the Work. The Design/Builder shall establish the Project Schedule and review the ress ro schedules submitted by Subcontractors in order to ensure P 9 Y proper and timely completion of the Work. ARTICLE 22 ADDITIONAL TERMS & CONDITIONS 22.1. Representations and Warranties. The Design/Builder further represents and warrants as of the date hereof and throughout the term of this Agreement: a. That it has the financial resources, is solvent, and is sufficiently experienced, fully and properly licensed (to the extent required by Applicable Laws) and competent to properly and timely perform this Agreement, that the material facts stated or shown in any papers submitted or referred to in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Design/Builder's responses to the City's RFP, and all other Contract Documents, and any subsequent additions thereto, are true in all material respects. b. That is has full power and authority, and has obtained all corporate approvals necessary, to execute and perform this Agreement, and the same is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Design/Builder, enforceable against the Design/Builder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, equitable principles and laws affecting creditor's rights generally; c.
