CONTRACTOR SHALL SUBMIT ONE HARD COPY AND ONE ELECTRONIC COPY (including a native version and a pdf). In addition to the Progress Schedule Contractor shall include a narrative report of the months' progress, an explanation of any delays and or additions/deletions to activities. City's acceptance of a Progress Schedule for purposes of City's approval of an Application for Payment shall not constitute or be construed as City's approval of the Progress Schedule itself, or as approval of any change to the Project Schedule. Any changes to the Project Schedule, if agreed to, shall be memorialized in a duly executed Change Order. It is strongly recommended that Contractor or the professional who performs scheduling have a vast knowledge in the use of the required scheduling software specified in the Invitation to Bid Summary to develop and update the project schedule. CONTRACTOR agrees to attend weekly progress meetings and provide an two (2) week look ahead schedule for review and discussion and monthly be prepared to discuss any: 1) Proposed changes to the Base Line schedule logic; 2) Explain and provide a narrative for reasons why logic changes should be made; 3) Update to individual subcontractor activities; and 4) Integration of changes into the schedule.

In a lump sum contract or in a contract which includes lump sum bid items of Work, a preliminary schedule of values for all of the Work which may include quantities and prices of items aggregating the Contract Price and will subdivide the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during construction. Such prices will include an appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to each item of work which will be confirmed in writing by Contractor at the time of submission. If requested by the City, Contractor shall provide additional breakdowns as to any line item, to show labor, equipment, materials and overhead and profit. 6.2.4. After award but prior to the submission of the progress schedule, Consultant, Contract Administrator and Contractor shall meet with all utility owners and secure from them a schedule of utility relocation, provided, however, that by facilitating Contractor's efforts to coordinate with such utilities, City is not assuming the obligation to coordinate any necessary relocations and Contractor shall be solely responsible for such coordination. 6.2.5. At a time specified by Consultant but before Contractor starts the work at the Project Site, a conference attended by Contractor, Consultant and others as deemed appropriate by Contract Administrator will be held to discuss the schedules to discuss procedures for handling Shop Drawings and other submittals and for processing Applications for Payment, and to establish a working understanding among the parties as to the Work. 6.2.6. Within five (5) days from the Project Initiation Date set forth in the Notice to Proceed, a pre - construction meeting attended by Contractor, Consultant and others, as appropriate, will be held to finalize the schedules submitted. Within ten (10) days after the Project Initiation Date set forth in Notice to Proceed, the Contractor shall revise the original schedule submittal to address all review comments from the CPM review conference and resubmit for Consultant review. The finalized progress schedule will be accepted by Consultant only as providing an orderly progression of the Work to completion within the Contract Time, but such acceptance shall not constitute acceptance by City or Consultant of the means or methods of construction or of the sequencing or scheduling of the Work, and such acceptance will neither impose on Consultant or City responsibility for the progress or scheduling of the Work nor relieve Contractor from full responsibility therefore. The finalized schedule of Shop Drawing submissions must be acceptable to Consultant as providing a workable arrangement for processing the submissions. The finalized schedule of values must be acceptable to Consultant as to form and substance. 6.3. Recovery Schedule. 6.3.1. If Contractor's Work, or any portion of the Work, becomes more than (30) days behind schedule, 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, or if the reasonably appears that the Contractor will be unable to meet the deadlines of the Project Schedule, the City may notify Contractor of same, and in such case, the Contractor shall submit a proposed recovery plan to regain lost schedule progress and to achieve any Project milestones, Substantial Completion, and Final Completion in accordance with the Contract Documents ("Recovery Schedule"), after taking into account Excusable Delays (as hereinafter defined) and permitted extensions of the Project for I General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) review and acceptance within seven (7) days following notification from the City, so as to ensure Contractor makes up lost time. 6.3.2.

Any determination by the Consultant and the Contractor 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 Contractor its Certificate of Substantial Completion (or Partial Substantial Completion, as applicable). 6.5.1. When the City, on the basis of an inspection, determines that the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, and when the Contractor has complied with all other conditions precedent to Substantial Completion provided for in 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 Contractor, if any, for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall complete the items listed in the Substantial Completion Punch List. 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. 6.5.2. 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 the Contract Documents have been satisfied, and (2) in the case of a portion of the Project, the conditions set forth this Article 6 relating to Partial Substantial Completion shall have been satisfied. 6.6. 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 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: 6.6.1. The requirements provided in this Article 6 for issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion are complied with for the portion of the Work for which a Notice of Partial Substantial Completion is being I General Conditions for Construclion Contracts (April 13, 2020) sought; 6.6.2. 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; 6.6.3. The City is fully able to use and occupy the portion of the Work for the purposes intended and the Contractor 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; 6.6.4. Partial Substantial Completion shall not constitute Final Completion of the Work or Substantial Completion of the Project, nor shall it relieve the Contractor 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. 6.7. Liquidated Damages. 6.7.1. Upon failure of Contractor to achieve Substantial Completion within the time period specified in the Invitation to Bid Summary for Substantial Completion, as such date may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Contract Documents, Contractor shall pay to City the sum specified in the Invitation to Bid Summary for "Liquidated Damages" for each calendar day after the time specified in the Invitation to Bid Summary for Substantial Completion, plus any approved time extensions, for Substantial Completion. Partial Substantial Completion shall not relieve Contractor of any responsibility for Liquidated Damages for failure to timely achieve Substantial Completion. 6.7.2. After Substantial Completion is achieved, should Contractor fail to complete the remaining Work within the time specified in the Invitation to Bid Summary for Final Completion, plus approved time extensions thereof, Contractor shall pay to City the sum set forth in the Invitation to Bid Summary as "Liquidated Damages" for each calendar day after the time specified in the Invitation to Bid Summary for Final Completion, plus any approved extensions. 6.7.3. Contractor agrees that the Liquidated Damages set forth herein are not penalties and have been set based on an evaluation by City of damages to City and the public caused by untimely performance. Such damages may include loss of revenues to the City, and additional costs of administering this Agreement, including Project staff, legal, accounting, consultants and overhead and other administrative costs. Contractor acknowledges that the amounts established for Liquidated Damages are fair and commercially reasonable. Contractor and City have agreed to the Liquidated Damages in order to fix Contractor's costs and to avoid later disputes over which items are properly chargeable to Contractor as a consequence of Contractor's delays. 1 General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) The above -stated liquidated damages shall apply separately to each portion of the Project for which a time for completion is given. City is authorized to deduct liquidated damages from monies due to Contractor for the Work under this Contract or as much thereof as City may, in its sole discretion, deem just and reasonable. Liquidated Damages shall apply, whether or not the City terminates Contractor for cause and whether or not Surety completes the Project after a Default by Contractor. Liquidated Damages shall apply solely to claims arising from delay in meeting any milestone for which the right to assess Liquidated Damages is specified, including, without limitation, Substantial Completion, and Final Completion, and shall be the City's sole remedy for delay, and are not intended to, and do not, liquidate Contractor's liability under any other provision of the Contractor Documents for other events not specifically referenced in this Article 6. Liquidated Damages shall not liquidate Contractor's liability under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. Contractor, in addition to reimbursing City for Liquidated Damages or other damages for untimely performance as provided herein, shall reimburse City for all costs incurred by City to repair, restore, or complete the Work, as may be provided by the Contract Documents, including, without limitation, any additional design fees that may be due to the Consultant related thereto. All such costs shall be deducted from the monies otherwise due Contractor for performance of Work under this Agreement by means of unilateral credit or deductive Change Orders issued by City. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Liquidated Damages amount herein is unenforceable notwithstanding Contractor's agreement herein that such amounts are fair and reasonable, Contractor shall not be relieved of its obligations to the City for the actual damages resulting from the failure to timely achieve Substantial Completion or Final Completion in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, City and Contractor covenant not to bring any action in a court of competent jurisdiction that would ask the court to rule that the Liquidated Damages amounts are not fair and reasonable. 6.8. Beneficial Occupancy. Beneficial Occupancy shall occur when the City determines that a portion of the Work may be occupied prior to Substantial Completion. City may take Beneficial Occupancy in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents. 6.8.1. Prior to the anticipated date of Beneficial Occupancy, Contractor 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. 6.8.2. Beneficial Occupancy shall not constitute Substantial Completion or Final Completion of the Work, nor shall it relieve the Contractor 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. 6.8.3. After Beneficial Occupancy and as conditions of Substantial Completion, the Contractor shall deliver to the City complete as -built drawings, all approved Shop Drawings, maintenance manuals, pamphlets, charts, parts lists and specified spare parts, operating instructions and other necessary documents required for all installed materials, equipment, or machinery, all applicable warranties and guarantees, and the appropriate certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion that are related to the portion of the Work being occupied. .

Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contractor shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order or Construction Change Directive. No Change Order shall take effect until Contractor delivers a Consent of Surety increasing the Performance Bond and Payment Bond by the amount of the Change Order. 10.3.2. All Change Orders which exceed the then -remaining amounts available in the Owner's Contingency shall be approved by the City Commission.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Manager, at his or her sole discretion, may elect to present any proposed Change Order to the City Commission for its consideration. 10.3.3. If City requests a change in the Work, City shall submit a change request to Contractor, in writing. Within seven (7) business days of Contractor's receipt of such request from the City, Contractor shall provide City with a rough "pencil copy" estimate of the cost and/or time impacts associated with the request. Within twenty-one (21) days of Contractor's receipt of City's initial request, the Contractor shall submit a detailed proposal to the City stating (i) the proposed increase or decrease, if any, in the Cost of the Work which would result from such a change, (ii) the effect, if any, upon the Contract Time by reason of such proposed change, and (iii) supporting data and documentation, including any requested by the City in its change request. 10.3.4.

In the event the City disagrees with the Contractor's proposal, the City may either (i) notify the Contractor that the City has decided to not proceed with or approve the requested change, or (ii) issue a Change Order as provided below. 10.3.5. 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: a. by mutual acceptance of a lump sum (inclusive of all overhead and profit) properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation by the Consultant and City; b. by unit prices as may be specified in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon; C. by time and materials or "cost of the Work" (as defined herein) and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage overhead and profit fee for the Contractor. ,;4 1 General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) 10.3.6.

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. With respect to any such Change Order Work, the City, with the Consultant, will establish an estimated cost of the Work and the Contractor shall not perform any Work whose cost exceeds that estimate without prior written approval by the City. With respect to all Change Orders, Contractor 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 Cost of the Work. 10.3.7.

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 Contractor 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. 10.3.8. Decreases in the Cost of the Work due to a change in the Project shall result in a decrease to the Contract Price, by way of a deductive Change Order. 10.3.9. The Contractor's overhead and profit fee for all Change Orders shall be the net change in the Contract Price, multiplied by the percentage specified for overhead and profit in the Change Order, provided, that the overhead and profit markup or fee shall be as follows: (1) if the Change Order Work involves self -performed Work performed by the Contractor's own forces, the overhead and profit markup shall be reasonable, and shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the net change in the Contract Price; or (2) if the Change Order involves Work performed by Subcontractors or Suppliers, or both, the overhead and profit markup shall be reasonable, and the overhead and profit markup from Subcontractors and Suppliers at all tiers shall not exceed ten percent 10% of the net change in the Contract Price, and the Contractor's mark up for such Subcontractor performed Change Order Work shall not exceed seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the net change in the Contract Price.

All Subcontractors shall be subject to the other provisions of the Contract Documents insofar as applicable. Contractor's fee shall not exceed seven and one half percent (7.5%); and if a subcontract is on the basis of cost of the work plus a fee, the maximum allowable to the Subcontractor as a fee for overhead and profit shall not exceed ten percent (10%). 10.4.5.

Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or payment or compensation of any kind from City for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference or hindrance from any cause whatsoever, whether such delay, disruption, interference or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable; 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, Contractor'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 Contractor's written notice to the City of such alleged interference. I General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) 10.9.1. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that Excusable Delay shall not be deemed to constitute willful or intentional interference with the Contractor'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 Contractor's performance of the Work. The City's attempts to facilitate or assist Contractor in performance of the Work shall in no way be construed, interpreted and/or be deemed to constitute willful or intentional interference with the Contractor's performance of the Work. Except as provided herein, Contractor 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 Contractor in the performance of the Work. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that, except as specified herein, all delays or events and their potential impacts on the performance by the Contractor are specifically contemplated and acknowledged by the Parties in entering into this Agreement and that Contractor's pricing of the Work and the determination of the Contract Price shall be expressly based on the Contractor's assumption of the risks thereof, and Contractor hereby waives any and all Claims it might have for any of the foregoing losses, costs, damages and expenses. 10.10. Excusable Delay. Contractor'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 set forth below in this Article 10 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 Contractor, including by re -sequencing, reallocating or redeploying and/or increasing the amount of its forces to other portions of the Work; and (ii!) is caused by circumstances beyond the control and due to no fault of Contractor or its Subcontractors, material persons, Suppliers, or Vendors, including, but not limited to, force majeure events such as fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics, hurricanes, or similar events beyond the control and due to no fault of the Contractor ("Excusable Delay"). If two or more separate events of Excusable Delay are concurrent with each other, Contractor shall only be entitled to an extension of time for each day of such concurrent critical path delay, and Contractor shall not be entitled to double recovery thereon. For illustration purposes only, if two events of Excusable Delay are concurrent for two days, Contractor shall only receive a time extension of a total of two days, and not four days. 10.10.1. Weather. Extensions to the Contract Time for delays caused by the effects of inclement weather shall be submitted as a request for a change in the Contract Time pursuant to the Contract Documents. These time extensions are justified only when rains or other inclement weather conditions prevent Contractor from productively performing critical path activity delineated in the Project Schedule: (1) Contractor being unable to work at least fifty percent (50%) of the normal workday on critical path activity delineated in the Project Schedule due to adverse weather conditions; or (2) Contractor must make major repairs to the Work damaged by weather. Providing the damage was not attributable to a failure to perform or neglect by Contractor, and providing that Contractor was unable to work at least fifty percent (50%) of the normal workday on critical path activity delineated in the Project Schedule. 10.10.2. Compensable Excusable Delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excusable Delay is compensable when (1) the delay extends the Contract Time, (ii) is caused by circumstances beyond the control of the Contractor or its subcontractors, suppliers or vendors, and (iii) is caused solely by fraud, bad faith or active interference on the part of My or its agents, provided, however, that in no event shall Contractor I General Conditions for Construction Contracts )April 13, 2020) be compensated for (x) interim delays which do not extend the Contract Time, or (y) for Excusable Delay if caused jointly or concurrently by Contractor or its subcontractors, suppliers or vendors and by the City or Consultant, in which case then Contractor shall be entitled only to a time extension and no further compensation for the Excusable Delay. 10.10.3. Unexcusable Delays. "Unexcusable Delay" shall mean any delays not included within the definition of Excusable Delay as set forth above including 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 date for Substantial Completion or Final Completion, and which is caused by the act, fault, inaction or omission of the Contractor or any Subcontractor, Supplier or other party for whom the Contractor is responsible; any delay that could have been limited or avoided by Contractor's timely notice to the City of such delay; or any delay in obtaining licenses, permits or inspections caused by the actions or omissions of the Contractor or its Subcontractors, Suppliers or any other party for whom the Contractor 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 Contractor to damages in accordance with the Contract Documents. In no event shall the Contractor be excused for interim delays which do not extend the Project Schedule, including the date for Substantial Completion or Final Completion. 10.11. Prerequisites and Notice Requirements for Extensions of Time. Except as provided in the Contract Documents 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 Contractor has complied with each of the following requirements below to the reasonable satisfaction of the City: a. Contractor shall provide written notice to the City of any event of delay or potential delay within five (5) days of the commencement of the event giving rise to the request. The Contractor, within ten (10) days of the date upon which the Contractor has knowledge of the delay, shall notify the City, in writing, of the cause of the delay stating the approximate number of days the Contractor 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 Contractor believes that its activities were in fact delayed by the cause(s) described in its initial notice. b. The Contractor 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, the delay was not the result of the performance of unit price Work, and that the delay in such activity will result in a delay of the date for Substantial Completion in the Project Schedule or Final Completion. c. The initial notice provided by the Contractor under Subsection (a) above shall provide an estimated number of days the Contractor believes it will be delayed, and describe the efforts of the Contractor 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 Contractor must provide proper written notice under this Article. CONTRACTOR'S STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THIS ARTICLE 10 IS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO RECEIPT OF AN EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT TIME. FAILURE OF THE CONTRACTOR TO General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) 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, they shall enter into a Change Order documenting the same. If the City and Contractor cannot resolve a request for time extension made properly and timely under this Section within sixty (60) days following Contractor's initial notice of the events giving rise to the request for a time extension, the Contractor may re -submit the request as a Claim in accordance with the Contract Documents. 10.12. Contractor's Duty. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement allowing the Contractor to claim delay due to Excusable Delay, whenever an Excusable Delay shall occur, the Contractor shall use all reasonable efforts to overcome or remove any such Excusable Delay, and shall provide the City with written notice of the Contractor's recommendations on how best to minimize any adverse effect on the time and cost of performing the Work resulting from such Excusable Delay. In furtherance of the foregoing, whenever there shall be any Excusable Delay, the Contractor 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. If there are corresponding costs associated with any of the measures which the Contractor deems necessary or desirable to minimize any adverse effects resulting from any Excusable Delay, the Contractor shall advise the City of such anticipated associated costs and shall not proceed with such measures absent the City's executing a Change Order in connection therewith. Nothing in this Section shall, however, be deemed to entitle the Contractor to any adjustment in the Contract Price or any other damages, losses or expenses resulting from an Excusable Delay; nor shall it be deemed to obligate the City to agree to undertake any recommendations suggested by the Contractor as a means of minimizing the adverse effects of any Excusable Delay. 10.13. Differing Site Conditions. In the event that during the course of the Work Contractor encounters subsurface or concealed conditions at the Project Site which could not have reasonably been identified by Contractor upon prior investigation, and materially differ from those indicated in the Contract Documents, or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature are encountered on the Project Site and differ materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character called for in the Contract Documents, then Contractor shall promptly notify the City within two (2) business days of the specific materially differing site conditions, before the Contractor disturbs the conditions or performs the affected Work. 10.13.1. Consultant and City shall, within two (2) business days after receipt of Contractor's written notice, investigate the site conditions identified by Contractor. If, in the sole opinion of Consultant, the conditions do materially so differ and cause an increase or decrease in Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the Work, Consultant shall recommend an equitable adjustment to the Contract Price, or the Contract Time, or both. If City and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time, the adjustment shall be referred to Consultant for determination in accordance with the provisions of Contract Documents. Should Consultant determine that the conditions of the Project Site are not so materially different to justify a change in the terms of the Contract, Consultant shall so notify City I General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) and Contractor in writing, stating the reasons, and such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. 10.13.2. An adjustment for differing site conditions shall not be allowed, and any Claim relating thereto shall be deemed conclusively waived, if the Contractor 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. If a differing site condition qualifies for an equitable adjustment pursuant to the Contract Documents, and the Contractor's costs cannot reasonably be established at the time of notice to the City thereof, the Contractor shall submit its proposed pricing and/or request for extension of time within ten (10) days after the proposed solution is identified to the differing site condition described in the Contractor's initial notice to the City. 10.13.3. For purposes of this Section, a "materially differing" site condition is one that (1) is not identified in the Contract Documents and is not reasonably inferable therefrom; and (2) could not have reasonably been identified by Contractor upon prior investigation, provided Contractor reasonably undertook such prior site investigation; and (3) requires a change to the Work that increases Contractor's costs and/or impacts the critical path for completion of the Work. 10.13.4. 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 Contractor, and no time extension shall be granted. 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. ARTICLE 11. CLAIMS AND RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES. 11.1 Claims must be initiated by written notice and, unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, submitted to the other Party within ten (10) days of the event giving rise to such Claim or within ten (10) 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 Contractor 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 Contractor's written notarized certification of the Claim in accordance with the False Claims Ordinance, Sections 70-300 et seq., of the City Code. 11.2 Claims not timely made or otherwise not submitted in strict accordance with the requirements of this Article or other Contract Documents shall be deemed conclusively waived, the satisfaction of which shall be conditions precedent to entitlement. 11.3 Contractor 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 Contractor'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 '2 1 General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) 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. 11.4 Continuing the Work During Disputes. Contractor shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress schedule during all disputes or disagreements with City, including disputes or disagreements concerning a request for a Change Order, a request for a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time. The Work shall not be delayed or postponed pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements. Contractor's failure to comply with this Section shall constitute an Event of Default. ARTICLE 12. PERMITS, LICENSES, FEES, TAXES. 12.1 Except as otherwise provided within the Contract Documents, all permits and licenses required by federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations necessary for the prosecution of the Work undertaken by Contractor pursuant to this Contract shall be secured and paid for by Contractor. It is Contractor's responsibility to have and maintain appropriate Certificate(s) of Competency, valid for the Work to be performed and valid for the jurisdiction in which the Work is to be performed for all persons working on the Project for whom a Certificate of Competency is required. 12.2 Impact fees levied by the City and/or Miami -Dade County shall be paid by Contractor. Contractor shall be reimbursed only for the actual amount of the impact fee levied by the municipality or Miami -Dade County as evidenced by an invoice or other acceptable documentation issued by the municipality. Reimbursement to Contractor in no event shall include profit or overhead of Contractor. 12.3 All fees, royalties, and claims for any invention, or pretended inventions, or patent of any article, material, arrangement, appliance, or method that may be used upon or in any manner be connected with the construction of the Work or appurtenances, are hereby included in the prices stipulated in Construction Documents for said work. 12.4 Taxes. Contractor shall pay all applicable sales, consumer, use and other taxes required by law. Contractor is responsible for reviewing the pertinent state statutes involving state taxes and complying with all requirements. ARTICLE 13. TERMINATION. 13.1. 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 Contract, the City may, in its sole discretion, terminate for the City's convenience the performance of Work under this Contract, in whole or in part, at any time upon written notice to the Contractor. The City shall effectuate such Termination for Convenience by delivering to the Contractor 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 Contract, 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 Contractor shall immediately proceed with the following obligations, regardless of any delay in determining or adjusting any amounts due under this Article: i. Stop the Work specified as terminated in the Notice of Termination for Convenience; 44 1 General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) 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 Project records, 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; iv. If specifically directed by the City in writing, assign to the City all right, title and interest of Contractor 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 material produced or required for the Work terminated; and (2) the completed or partially completed Project records that, if this Contract 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 Contract that is in the Contractor'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 Contractor 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 Work, less all amounts previously paid to the Contractor 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 Contractor. Contractor 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 Contractor and absent such agreement, the City shall, no less than fifteen (15) days prior to making final payment, provide the Contractor with written notice of the amount the City intends to pay to the Contractor. Such final payment so made to the Contractor shall be in full and final settlement for Work performed under this Contract, except to the extent the Contractor disputes such amount in a written notice delivered to and received by the City prior to the City's tendering such final payment. 13.2. Event of Default. The following shall each be considered an item of Default. If, after delivery of written notice from the City to Contractor specifying such Default, the Contractor fails to promptly commence and thereafter complete the curing of such Default within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed twenty- 45 1 General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) one (21) 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 Contractor for cause: a. Failing to perform any 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 to the degree specified, in the Contract Documents, subject to substitutions approved by the City in accordance with this Contract and the other Contract Documents; b. Failing, for reasons other than an Excusable Delay, to begin the Work required promptly following the issuance of a Notice to Proceed; c.

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 Contractor to prosecute the Work because of an event giving rise to an Excusable Delay as set forth in this Contract for which Contractor 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 Contractor's financial ability to complete the Project; h. An indictment is issued against the Contractor; i. Failing to make payments to for materials or labor in accordance with the respective agreements; j. Failing to provide the City with a Recovery Schedule in accordance with the Contract Documents; k. Persistently disregarding laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction; I. Fraud, misrepresentation or material misstatement by Contractor in the course of obtaining this Contract; m. Failing to comply in any material respect with any of the terms of this Contract or the Contract Documents. In no event shall the time period for curing a Default constitute an extension of the time for achieving Substantial Completion or a waiver of any of the City's rights or remedies hereunder for a Default which is not cured as aforesaid. 13.3. Termination of Contract for Cause. a. The City may terminate the Contractor for cause upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined herein, or for any other breach of the Contract or other Contract Documents by the Contractor that the City, in its sole opinion, deems substantial and material, following written notice to the Contractor and the failure to timely and properly cure to the satisfaction of the City in the time period set forth herein, or as otherwise specified in the Notice of Default. 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 Contract, the other Contract Documents or as otherwise provided at law or in equity, the City may issue a Notice of Termination for Cause to Contractor, copied to the Surety, rendering termination effective immediately, and may take any of the following actions, subject to any prior rights of the Surety: G 1 General Conditions for Construction Contracts )April 13, 2020) i. Take possession of the Project Site and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by Contractor; ii. Accept assignments of subcontracts; iii. Direct Contractor 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 Contract had been completed, would be required to be furnished to the City; and iv.

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 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 Contract that is in the Contractor's possession and in which the City has or may acquire an interest. d. All rights and remedies of the City's Termination rights herein shall apply to all Defaults that are non -curable in nature, 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. 13.4. 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 Contractor, the City may (i) make demand upon the Surety to perform its obligations under the Performance Bond 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 Contractor 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 Contractor under all subcontracts. 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 Contract. 13.5. Costs and Expenses. General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) 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 Contractor'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 Contractor under this Contract, irrespective of whether the City ultimately terminates Contractor. b. Upon issuing a Notice of Termination for Cause, the City shall have no obligation to pay Contractor, and the Contractor 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 Contractor under this Contract for any portion of the Work satisfactorily performed, the Contractor and the Surety shall be jointly and severally liable and shall pay the difference to the City upon demand. 13.6. 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 Contractor was not in default under the provisions of this Contract, or that any delay hereunder was an Excusable 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 herein. The Contractor shall have no further recourse of any nature for wrongful termination. 13.7. Remedies Not Exclusive. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, no remedy under the terms of this Contract 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 acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient. 13.8. 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 Contract shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or Amendment of this Contract. 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 Contract 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 at any time shall not constitute a waiver of such rights and remedies. 13.9. Contractor Right to Terminate Contract or 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 Contractor or persons or entities within its control, or if the City should fail to pay the Contractor 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 by the Contract Documents, and if the City fails to make such payment within ninety (90) days after receipt of written notice from the Contractor identifying the Approved Application for Payment for which payment is outstanding, then, unless the City is withholding such payment pursuant to any provision of this Contract which entitles the City to so withhold such payment, the Contractor shall have the right upon the expiration of the aforesaid ninety (90) day period to stop its performance of the Work, provided that Contractor has sent a Notice to Cure to the City via certified mail, allowing for a 7 day cure period. In such event, Contractor may terminate this Contract and recover from City payment for all Work executed and reasonable expense sustained (but excluding compensation for any item prohibited by any provisions of the Contract Documents). In the alternative to termination, Contractor shall not be obligated to recommence the Work until such time as the City shall have 43 1 General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020) made payment to the Contractor 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. No act, event, circumstance or omission shall excuse or relieve the Contractor from the full and faithful performance of its obligations hereunder and the completion of the Work as herein provided for. ARTICLE 14. MISCELLANEOUS. 14.1. Separate Contracts. 14.1.1. The City reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the City's own forces, to award separate contracts to other contractors or subcontractors, and to permit third parties to perform construction or operations in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction or operations on the Project Site or adjacent to the Project Site. City reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with this Project. Contractor shall afford other persons reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and the execution of their work and shall properly connect and coordinate this Work with theirs. 14.1.2. If any part of Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of any other persons, Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to Consultant any defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Contractor's failure to inspect and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other person's work as fit and proper for the reception of Contractor's Work, except as to defects which may develop in other contractor's work after the execution of Contractor's Work. 14.1.3. Contractor shall conduct its operations and take all reasonable steps to coordinate the prosecution of the Work so as to create no interference or impact on any other contractors, including the City's own forces, on the site. Should such interference or impact occur, Contractor shall be liable to the affected contractor for the cost of such interference or impact. Coordination with other contractors shall not be grounds for an extension of time or any adjustment in the Contract Price. Contractor agrees that its pricing of the Work and the determination of the Contract Price were expressly based upon the Contractor's assumption of the foregoing cost risks 14.1.4. Contractor shall afford other contractors reasonable access to the Project Site for the execution of their work. Following the request of the City or Consultant, the Contractor shall prepare a plan in order to integrate the work to be performed by the City or by the other contractors with the performance of the Work, and shall submit such plan to the City for approval. The Contractor shall arrange the performance of the Work so that the Work and the work of the City and the other contractors are, to the extent applicable, properly integrated, joined in an acceptable manner and performed in the proper sequence, so that any disruption or damage to the Work or to any work of the City or of other contractors is avoided. To insure the proper execution of subsequent work, Contractor shall inspect the work already in place and shall at once report to Consultant any discrepancy between the executed work and the requirements of the Contract Documents, 14.2. Lands for Work. 14.2.1. City shall provide, as may be indicated in the Contract Documents, the lands upon which the Work is to be performed, rights -of -way and easements for access thereto and such other lands as are designated by City or the use of Contractor. 49 1 General Conditions for Construction Contracts (April 13, 2020( 14.2.2.

Contractor shall furnish to City copies of written permission obtained by Contractor from the owners of such facilities. 14.3. Assignment. Neither the City nor the Contractor shall assign its interest in this Contract without the written consent of the other, except as to the assignment of proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City may assign its interest in this Contract or any portion thereof to any local or state governmental body, special taxing district, or any person authorized by law to construct or own the Project. Such assignee shall be bound to comply with the terms of this Contract. 14.4. Rights of Various Interests. Whenever work being done by City's forces or by separate contractors is contiguous to or within the area where the Contractor will perform any of the Work pursuant to the Contract Documents, , the respective rights of the various interests involved shall be established by the Contract Administrator to secure the completion of the various portions of the work in general harmony. 14.5. Legal Restrictions and Traffic Provisions. Contractor shall conform to and obey all applicable laws, regulations, or ordinances with regard to labor employed, hours of work and Contractor's general operations. Contractor shall conduct its operations so as not to close any thoroughfare, nor interfere in any way with traffic on railway, highways, or water, without the prior written consent of the proper authorities. 14.6. Value Engineering. Contractor may request substitution of materials, articles, pieces of equipment or any changes that reduce the Contract Price by making such request to Consultant in writing after award of contract. Consultant will be the sole judge of acceptability, and no substitute will be ordered, installed, used or initiated without Consultant's prior written acceptance which will be evidenced by either a Change Order or an approved Shop Drawing. However, any substitution accepted by Consultant shall not result in any increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time. By making a request for substitution, Contractor agrees to pay directly to Consultant all Consultant's fees and charges related to Consultant's review of the request for substitution, whether or not the request for substitution is accepted by Consultant. Any substitution submitted by Contractor must meet the form, fit, function and life cycle criteria of the item proposed to be replaced and there must be a net dollar savings including Consultant review fees and charges. If a substitution is approved, the net dollar savings shall be shared equally between Contractor and City and shall be processed as a deductive Change Order. City may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute approved after award of the Contract. ANY REQUESTS FOR SUBSTITUTION MUST BE MADE TO THE CITY'S PROCUREMENT DIRECTOR, WHO SHALL FORWARD SAME TO CONSULTANT. 14.7. No Interest. Any monies not paid by City when claimed to be due to Contractor under this Contract, including, but not limited to, any and all claims for contract damages of any type, shall not be subject to interest including, but not limited to prejudgment interest. However, the provisions of City's prompt payment ordinance, as such relates to timeliness of payment, and the provisions of Section 218.74(4), Florida Statutes as such relates to the payment of interest, shall apply to valid and proper invoices. 14.8.

Use of the Project Site or any other City -owned property or 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 Contract Administrator. 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, Contractor shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, remove and relocate any such materials and equipment to a suitable, approved location. 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 whatsoever to use of the Project Site for staging, material and equipment storage, lay -down or other similar activities. 14.9.2. In case of termination of this Contract before completion for any cause whatever, Contractor, if notified to do so by City, shall promptly remove any part or all of Contractor's equipment and supplies from the property of City, failing which City shall have the right to remove such equipment and supplies at the expense of Contractor. 14.10.

Performance Evaluations. An interim performance evaluation of the successful Contractor may be submitted by the Contract Administrator during construction of the Project. A final performance evaluation shall be submitted when the Request for Final Payment to the construction contractor is forwarded for approval. In either situation, the completed evaluation(s) shall be forwarded to the City's Procurement Director who shall provide a copy to the successful Contractor. Said evaluation(s) may be used by the City as a factor in considering the responsibility of the successful Contractor for future bids with the City.

Under the State of Florida, a CUC or Certified Underground Contractor License allows our firm to perform a series of underground utilities services including the repair, alterations of roadway, and appurtenances, which we would think covers the scope of the Horizontal Construction Projects as there are separate categories for Vertical and Seawall Construction.

Under the State of Florida Licensure Requirements and definitions, the only difference between the qualifications of a CGC and a CBC is that CBC are limited to the height of new structures built under that license of 3 stories or less. All other qualified construction services are licensed under the CBC. Unless the intent of this contract is to utilize the "Horizontal Construction Projects" category to construct building 4 stories or taller, the Please see the attached excerpts below from the Florida Statutes describing construction activities allowed by the State under the each license.
