materials and equipment.
Materials & Equivalency When references are made in bid documents to trade names or the brand names of
manufactures, such references are made solely to designate and identify the quality to
materials or equipment to be furnished and are not intended to restrict competitive
bidding. If comparable materials or equipment with different trade names are offered,
the bidder has the burden of proving equivalency. Product literature or catalogs may
be submitted to support claim of equality. Failure to provide proof of equivalency is
sound reasoning for rejection.
Any and all equivalent materials will be considered and if approved will be
allowed.

Contractor must provide a binder of all warranties to the Project Manager.
Warranties must be provided prior to retainage and bonds being released.

inspections and completion of the agreed upon draw schedule. Contractor’s fee will
be paid on a Net 30 basis less 10% retainage.
Liquidated Damages
The County and the Contractor recognize that time is of the essence with this
project. The County and the Contractor also recognize the delays, expense, and
difficulties involved in proving in a legal or arbitration preceding the actual loss
suffered by the County if the work is not completed within the agreed upon time.
Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, the County and the Contractor
will agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty), the Contractor
shall pay to the County One Hundred and 00/100 ($100.00) Dollars for each and
every calendar day that expires after agreed upon date of completion.
When the County reasonably believes that completion will be inexcusably delayed,
the County shall be entitled, but not required, to withhold from any amounts
otherwise due the Contractor an amount then believed by the County to be adequate
to recover liquidated damages applicable to such delays. If and when the Contractor
overcomes the delay in achieving completion, or any part there, for which the
County has withheld payment, the County shall promptly release to the Contractor
those funds withheld, but no longer applicable, as liquidated damages.

due hereunder naming the Contractor and such Subcontractor as joint payees.

interpreted to constitute an acceptance of any work not in compliance with this Contract.
5.2 Withheld Payment
5.2.1 The Owner may decline to make payment, may withhold funds, and, if necessary, may
demand the return of some or all of the amounts previously paid to the Contractor to protect the Owner
from loss because of:

c) Failure by the Contractor to pay Subcontractors or others in a prompt and proper fashion;
d) Evidence that the balance of the work cannot be completed in accordance with the
Contract for the unpaid balance of the Contract Price;
e) Evidence that the work will not be completed in the time required for substantial or final

Owner that the Project is complete and the Contractor is entitled to the remainder of the unpaid Contract
Price, less any amount withheld pursuant to this Contract.

responsible, have been fully paid or otherwise satisfied; releases and waivers of lien from all
Subcontractors of the Contractor and of any and all other parties required by the Project Manager or the
Owner; and consent of the Surety to final payment. If any third party fails or refuses to provide a release
of claim or waiver of lien as required by the Owner, the Contractor shall furnish a bond satisfactory to the
Owner to discharge any such lien or indemnify the Owner from liability.
5.3.3 The Owner shall make final payment of all sums due the Contractor within thirty (30) days of
the Project Manager’s execution of a final Certificate for Payment.
5.3.4 Acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims against the Owner by the
Contractor except for those claims previously made in writing against the Owner by the Contractor,
pending at the time of final payment, and identified in writing by the contractor as unsettled at the time of
its request for final payment.
5
5.3.5 Payment shall be made at the unit rates as set out in the Pricing Schedule submitted by the

remedies the Owner may have against the Contractor, proceed to carry out the subject work. In such a

8.2.3 Claims for Concealed and Unknown Condition - If concealed and unknown conditions are

structure be at variance with the conditions indicated by this Contract or if unknown conditions of an

prior to executing the Work shall constitute a waiver of any claim for additional compensation.

Subcontractors, unless and until liability of the Owner has been established in a court of competent
jurisdiction.
8.2.5 Claims for Additional Time

or which during the delay becomes critical, as the sole result of any act or neglect to act by the Owner or
someone acting on the Owner's behalf or by changes ordered in the work, unusual delay in transportation,
unusually adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipated, fire or any causes beyond the
Contractor's control, then the date for achieving completion of the work shall be extended upon the
written notice and claim of the Contractor to the Owner’s Representative for such reasonable time as the
Owner's representative may determine. Any notice and claim for an extension of time by the Contractor
shall be made not more than fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of the event or the first appearance of

10.1.2 If the Owner shall persistently or repeatedly fail to perform any material obligation to the
Contractor for a period of thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from the Contractor of its intent to
terminate hereunder, then the Contractor may terminate performance under this Contract by written notice
to the Owner. In such event, the Contractor shall be entitled to recover from the Owner as though the
Owner had terminated the Contractor's performance under this Contract for convenience pursuant to
Subparagraph 10.2.1.
10
10.2 Termination by the Owner
10.2.1 For Convenience

due because of the termination for convenience together with costs, pricing or other

ii. Reasonable costs incurred in preparing to perform and in performing the
terminated portion of the work, and in terminating the Contractor's performance,
plus a fair and reasonable allowance for overhead and profit thereon (such profit
shall not include anticipated profit or consequential damages); provided however,

sustained a loss if the entire Contract would have been completed, no profit shall
be allowed or included, and the amount of compensation shall be reduced to
reflect the anticipated rate of loss, if any;
iii. Reasonable costs of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of
subcontracts or orders pursuant to Subparagraph 10.2.1.2 of this Paragraph.

11
10.2.2 For Cause
10.2.2.1 If the Contractor persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails to prosecute the work in a timely
manner, supply enough properly skilled workers, supervisory personnel or proper equipment or materials,
or it fails to make prompt payment to Subcontractors or for materials or labor, or persistently disregards
laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction, or otherwise is
guilty of a substantial violation of a material provision of this Contract, then the Owner may by written
notice to the Contractor, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, terminate the employment of the
contractor and take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment
and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may finish the work by whatever methods it may
deem expedient. In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the
work is finished.
10.2.2.2 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the cost of finishing the work, such excess
shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, then the Contractor shall pay the
difference to the Owner. This obligation for payment shall survive the termination of the Contract.
10.2.2.3 In the event the employment of the Contractor is terminated by the Owner for cause pursuant
to subparagraph 10.2.2 and it is subsequently determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction that such
termination was without cause, such termination shall thereupon be deemed a Termination for
Convenience under Subparagraph 10.2.1 and the provisions of Subparagraph 10.2.1 shall apply.
