  1. CONSIDERATION. Each of the Parties represented that as a result of mutual covenants and the long-term benefit to both Parties, and other good and valuable consideration, this Amendment Three shall govern the Parties’ responsibilities regarding paragraphs of the Lease entitled Demised Premises (paragraph 2), Term (paragraph 4), and Rent (paragraph 5).

  2. SCOPE. This Amendment Three is being entered into for the purpose of amending,

    modifying and superseding paragraphs 2, 4, and 5 of the Lease, Amendment One, and Amendment Two. Except to the extent herein amended, all other provisions set forth in


    the Lease, Amendment One, and Amendment Two shall remain in full force and effect and binding upon the Authority and Kinder Morgan. In entering into Amendment Three, the Parties acknowledge that in no way has the Authority waived any of its rights or claims it may have against Kinder Morgan.

  3. AMENDMENT. The Parties agree to amend, modify, and supersede paragraphs 2, 4, and 5 of the Lease as follows:

    2. DEMISED PREMISES. Effective January 1, 2020, the Authority does hereby demise, let, and rent unto the Lessee, and the Lessee shall hire and take as tenant approximately 1.81 acres of real property located in Manatee County, Florida identified as a portion of Port Manatee, the legal description of which is attached and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit D (the “Demised Premises”), to have and to hold the same for the terms set forth in this Lease.


    Effective August 6, 2020, the Authority does hereby demise, let, and rent unto the Lessee, and the Lessee shall hire and take as tenant approximately 5.01 acres of real property located in Manatee County, Florida identified as a portion of Port Manatee, the legal description of which is attached and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit A (the “Land”), to have and to hold the same for the terms set forth below. The Land, all rights of access and other appurtenant rights related thereto, and all improvements now or hereafter located on the Land (including, without limitation, Warehouse 1 at Berths 6 and 7, Warehouse 2, Truck & Rail Car Dump Shed, Warehouse 3 at Berth 7, Truck Scales and the conveyors (hereinafter defined) described in the attached Exhibit B which is incorporated into and made a part of this Lease), are collectively referred to herein as the “Additional Lands.” Effective August 6, 2020, the Additional Lands are included in the definition of the Demised Premises. As used herein, “conveyors” means those conveyor systems described on Exhibit B and depicted (and labelled) in the attached Exhibit C, which is incorporated into and made a part of this Lease. The Lessee shall have the continuing right to locate the conveyors on the Land and in the areas adjacent to the Land where the conveyors are


    already located as shown on Exhibit C, but such right does not to preclude the Authority from requiring Lessee to temporarily move conveyor BC7S in the area adjacent to the Land, if such movement is needed. The Lessee shall have the right to maintain, restore, replace and operate the conveyors during the term of this Lease, and Lessee shall maintain the conveyors in accordance with the paragraph entitled “Maintenance” of this Lease. The Authority recognizes that the Lessee uses improvements such as conveyors and warehouses on the Land in offloading its cargo and the Authority will make reasonable efforts to provide the Berths 5, 6, and 7 for such offloading and make reasonable efforts, as described below, to maintain a 40-foot draft at Berths 5, 6, and 7.


    Effective September 1, 2022, the Authority does demise, let and rent unto Lessee and Lessee shall hire and take as tenant approximately 10.6 acres of real property known in Zone C (hereinafter the “Zone C Parcel”) and 11.39 acres of real property known as the Triangle (hereinafter the “Triangle Parcel”) located in Manatee County, Florida identified as a portion of Port Manatee, the legal description and sketch of which is attached and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit E, to have and to hold the same for the terms set forth below. Lessee acknowledges its receipt of the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment prepared for SeaPort Manatee Triangle Site Environmental Baseline Study, Palmetto, Manatee County, Florida, dated September 2022 for the Triangle Parcel. Effective September 1, 2022, the Zone C Parcel and Triangle Parcel are included in the definition of the Demised Premises. Provided, however, that Authority has approved the phosphate rock specification currently stored on Zone C Parcel, and to be stored on the Triangle Parcel. Lessee will not be responsible for Hazardous Materials which migrate onto or under the Triangle Parcel, except for those Hazardous Materials that result from Lessee’s use of the Triangle Parcel or are caused by the Lessee.


    Effective August 6, 2026, the Authority does demise, let and rent unto Lessee and Lessee shall hire and take as tenant approximately 6 acres of real property known as the Reeder Lot (hereinafter the “Reeder Lot Parcel”) and 4.9 acres of real property known as Zone B (hereinafter the “Zone B Parcel”) located in Manatee County, Florida identified as a portion


    of Port Manatee, the legal description and sketch of both the Reeder Lot Parcel and Zone B Parcel is attached and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit F, to have and to hold the same for the terms set forth below. Effective August 6, 2026, the Reeder Lot Parcel and Zone B Parcel are included in the definition of the Demised Premises.


    In accordance with the Master Plan, the Authority agrees, covenants and warrants that Lessee has the right to peacefully occupy, have, use, hold and quietly enjoy the Demised Premises subject to the provisions of this Lease. The Lessee agrees it will not use the Demised Premises in any way that physically interferes with, interrupts, or impacts, in a materially adverse way, the rightful use or operation of other Port Manatee facilities by any other tenant, user, or customer at Port Manatee. The Demised Premises are leased and accepted by Lessee in its current “As Is-Where Is” condition with Authority making no warranties as to fitness, and Lessee acknowledges that it has had adequate opportunity to inspect and test the Demised Premises prior to entering into the Lease. Lessee may not act or fail to act in a manner that would adversely affect the title of the Authority. Further, while the Authority endeavors to maintain berth and channel depths at the Congressionally authorized 40+1 feet, the vagaries of natural events such as storms and sediment redistribution preclude any guarantees for either the main channel or berths. Maintenance dredging is performed as frequently as needed but subject to Army Corps of Engineers funding, permitting, contractor procurement and scheduling of both federally maintained channels and port berths. The berth maintenance is performed at Authority’s expense in conjunction with Corps events by a common contractor and under a single federal permit except in the case of emergency out of cycle needs where the port performs the maintenance.


    1. TERM. The duration or term of this Lease for the 1.81 acres of real property (excluding the Additional Lands, Zone C Parcel, Triangle Parcel, Reeder Lot Parcel, and Zone B Parcel), commences on January 1, 2020 and continues to August 5, 2020. The duration or term of this Lease for the 1.81 acres of real property and the Additional Lands (excluding the Zone C Parcel, Triangle Parcel, Reeder Lot Parcel, and Zone B Parcel ),


      commences on August 6, 2020 and terminates three (3) years thereafter on August 5, 2023, unless otherwise extended as provided in this Lease. The term of this Lease for the 1.81 acres of real property and the Additional Lands, may be extended first for one (1) three-year extension period and subsequently for up to three (3) five-year extension periods thereafter so long as the Lessee provides the Authority with Written Extension Notice (as defined below). The duration or term of this Lease for the Zone C Parcel and Triangle Parcel commences on September 1, 2022 and terminates August 5, 2023, unless otherwise extended as provided in this Lease. The term of this Lease for the Zone C Parcel and Triangle Parcel may be extended first for a one (1) year extension at the discretion of the Lessee, so long as the Lessee provides the Authority with Written Extension Notice (as defined below) and subsequently for up to two (2) one-year extension periods thereafter upon written agreement of the Parties. To extend the term, the Lessee must notify the Authority in writing no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then existing term of this Lease that it desires to extend the term (“Written Extension Notice”). As used herein, a “year of this Lease” or “Lease year” means each consecutive twelve (12) month period commencing on commencement date of the term of the Lease for the specified parcel and on each anniversary thereof. The term of this Lease for the Reeder Lot Parcel, and Zone B Parcel shall commence, and the term of this Lease for the Triangle Parcel shall recommence on August 6, 2026, and terminate August 31, 2028.


    2. RENT. The Lessee shall pay to the Authority rent for the Demised Premises, payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term.


      Effective January 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Lessee shall pay to the Authority rent for the Demised Premises (the 1.81 acres and excluding the Additional Lands), payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, at a rate of $2,550 per month from January 1, 2020 through August 5, 2023. Should the Lessee exercise its option to extend the term of this Lease as set forth in the paragraph of this Lease entitled “Term”, the annual rent for each year during the extended term(s) will be:

      • August 6, 2023 through August 5, 2026: $2,550 per month


      • August 6, 2026 through August 31, 2031: $4,250 per month

      • August 6, 2031 through August 31, 2041: The annual rent for each year during the extended term(s) will be determined by multiplying the annual rent by the percentage of change in the most recently published U.S. Department of Labor All Urban Consumer Price Index (“CPI-U”), all items, not to exceed three percent (3%) in any applicable extended five year lease period. The percentage change will be computed by comparing index figures published for the month closest to the Lease year anniversary date with the same month of the preceding Lease year. The index to be used will be the most recently published U. S. Department of Labor, All Urban Consumer Price Index. Annual rent on an extended term must never be less than

    $4,250 per month and will only increase in accordance with the above formula for the extended term, and not annually during any such extended term.


    Effective August 6, 2020, the Lessee shall pay to the Authority rent for the Additional Lands, payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, at a rate of $12,525 per month for the first three (3) years of the term. Should the Lessee exercise its option to extend the term of this Lease as set forth in the paragraph of this Lease entitled “Term”, the annual rent for each year during the extended term(s) will be determined by multiplying the annual rent by the percentage of change in the most recently published U.S. Department of Labor All Urban Consumer Price Index (“CPI-U”), all items, not to exceed three percent (3%) in any applicable extended lease period (either 3 or 5 years in accordance with the extended term). The percentage change will be computed by comparing index figures published for the month closest to the Lease year anniversary date with the same month of the preceding Lease year. For example, if the Lease commencement date is August 6, 2020, the adjustment for the annual rental due on August 6, 2023, will be calculated by using the index published for the most recent month available prior to August 6, 2020 and comparing it to the index published for the same month of the year 2023, subject to the 3% percent cap. The index to be used will be the most recently published U. S. Department of Labor, All Urban Consumer Price Index. Annual rent on an extended term must never be


    less than $12,525 per month and will only increase in accordance with the above formula for the extended term, and not annually during any such extended term.


    Effective September 1, 2022 and continuing to August 5, 2023, Lessee shall pay the Authority rent for Zone C Parcel, payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, at a rate $2,000 per acre per month for each acre that contains cargo in the Zone C Parcel and such that at no time shall the monthly rent for the Zone C Parcel be less than

    $2,000 per acre per month for 3 acres, regardless if cargo is contained on fewer than 3 acres and rent for the Triangle Parcel payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, at a rate $2,500 per acre per month for each acre that contains cargo in the Triangle Parcel. The intent of the Parties is that the cargo that is located on the Zone C Parcel will be moved from the Zone C Parcel to the Triangle Parcel between September 1, 2022 and August 5, 2023. Effective August 6, 2023 and continuing to August 5, 2024, Lessee shall pay the Authority rent for Zone C Parcel, payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, at a rate $3,000 per acre per month per acre for the entire the Zone C Parcel, regardless if cargo is placed on all of the acres and rent for the Triangle Parcel payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, at a rate $2,500 per acre per month for each acre that contains cargo in the Triangle Parcel.


    Between September 1, 2022 and August 5, 2023, and once Lessee has completed the Triangle Parcel Improvements (as defined below in the paragraph of this Lease entitled “Improvements”), the Authority shall credit Lessee’s rent account fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). The credit will be used for the future rent of Lessee for the Triangle Parcel. Upon exhaustion of the credit, Lessee will begin making rent payments again for the Zone C Parcel and Triangle Parcel. Throughout September 1, 2022 and August 5, 2023, Lessee will be responsible for paying applicable sales tax on its rent payments, regardless of whether a credit is applied to the rent payment. At any time during the term of this Lease, the Parties recognize the Triangle Parcel may be reduced in acreage due to a railroad project. Should the Triangle Parcel be reduced, the Parties will enter into a corresponding amendment to this Lease.


    Effective August 6, 2026, and continuing until August 31, 2028, Lessee shall pay to the Authority rent payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, for: the Reeder Lot Parcel at a rate $4,000 per acre; the Zone B Parcel at a rate of $3,000 per acre; and the Triangle Parcel at a rate of $2,500 per acre.


  4. CONFLICT. In the event of a conflict regarding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 2, 4, and 5 of the Lease, Amendment One, or Amendment Two, and the provisions contained in this Amendment Three, the provisions set forth in Amendment Three shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between any other paragraphs within Amendment Three and the Lease, Amendment One, or Amendment Two, then the Lease, Amendment One, or Amendment Two shall prevail, respectively.

  5. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE. Each of the Parties covenants to the other party that it has lawful authority to enter into this Amendment Three, that the governing or managing body of each of the Parties has approved this Amendment Three and that the governing or managing body of each of the Parties has authorized the execution of this Amendment Three in the manner hereinafter set forth.

  6. EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of Amendment Three is August 6, 2026.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment Three to be duly executed in duplicate this the 13th day of August, 2026.

    IMPORTANT: Surety companies executing bonds must appear on the Treasury Department's most current list (Circular 570 as amended) and be authorized to transact business in the state of Florida.


    1. Bidder and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns to pay to Owner upon default of Bidder the penal sum set forth on the face of this Bond. Payment of the penal sum is the extent of Bidder's and Surety's liability. Recovery of such penal sum under the terms of this Bond will be Owner's sole and exclusive remedy upon default of Bidder.


    2. Default of Bidder occurs upon the failure of Bidder to deliver within the time required by the Bidding Documents (or any extension thereof agreed to in writing by Owner) the executed Agreement required by the Bidding Documents and any performance and payment bonds required by the Bidding Documents.


    3. This obligation will be null and void if:


      1. Owner accepts Bidder's Bid and Bidder delivers within the time required by the Bidding Documents (or any extension thereof agreed to in writing by Owner) the executed Agreement required by the Bidding Documents and any performance and payment bonds required by the Bidding Documents, or

      2. All Bids are rejected by Owner, or

      3. Owner fails to issue a Notice of Award to Bidder within the time specified in the Bidding Documents (or any extension thereof agreed to in writing by Bidder and, if applicable, consented to by Surety when required by Paragraph 5 hereof).


    4. Payment under this Bond will be due and payable upon default of Bidder and within 30 calendar days after receipt by Bidder and Surety of written notice of default from Owner, which notice will be given with reasonable promptness, identifying this Bond and the Project and including a statement of the amount due.

    5. Surety waives notice of any and all defenses based on or arising out of any time extension to issue Notice of Award agreed to in writing by Owner and Bidder, provided that the total time for issuing Notice of Award including extensions does not in the aggregate exceed 120 days from the Bid due date without Surety's written consent.

    6. No suit or action will be commenced under this Bond prior to 30 calendar days after the notice of default required in Paragraph 4 above is received by Bidder and Surety and in no case later than one year after the Bid due date.

    7. Any suit or action under this Bond will be commenced only in a court of competent jurisdiction located in the state in which the Project is located.

        RE: CERTIFICATE OF QUALIFICATION


        The Department of Transportation has qualified your company for the type of work indicated below.


        FOOT APPROVED WORK CLASSES:

        DRAINAGE, GRADING, GRASSING, SEEDING AND SODDING, SIDEWALK, Curb & Gutter, Driveways, Lift

        In accordance with Section 337.14(1), Florida Statutes, an application for qualification

        must be filed within ( 4) months of the ending date of the applicant's audited annual financial statements.


        If the company's maximum capacity has been revised, it may be accessed by logging into the Contractor Prequalification Application System via the following link: HTTPS://fdotwpl.dot.state.fl.us/ContractorPreQualification

        Once logged in, select "View" for the most recently approved application, and then click the "Manage" and "Application Summary" tabs.

          Question #9: Will the project be invoiced on a monthly percent complete?

          RESPONSE: Yes. A pay application will be provided to the Contractor for use each month.


          Question #10: How is the stormwater pipe excavation and evaluation to be priced?

        Response Due Date: July 2nd, 2026@2:00pm Responses to Clarification Request: ADDENDUM 4 DATE: June 23, 2026


        ADDIJIONAL DESIGN INFORMATION:


        An evaluation of the "Washout Area" east of Reeder Rd. near STA. 20+30, 55.00' RT, was performed. The washout was caused by the failure of an 18" CMP running north from the ditch along the eastside of Reeder Rd. south of the Begin Reconstruction at STA. 20+10.22, 68.84' RT. From the washout, the following scope needs to be added:


        • Excavate to a depth of +/- 5' for +/- 35' south (approximately STA. 20+30, 90.00' RT

        • Remove and replace 18" CMP stormwater pipe and connect to existing RCP running east and west and seal connection

        • Backfill and compact per project requirements


        Question #17: The plans appear to have only 3 runs of the same pipe for part of the stormwater scope of work. Plan sheet 3 in the structure data table lists 430-17-5166 Pipe Culvert, Opt Material, Round, 66" S/CD measuring 144 LF. However, plan sheets 12, 18, 55, 64, & 68 depict 3 runs of 48 LF, equating to 144 LF, of 53"x34" sized pipe. No 66" Round pipe can be found anywhere within the plan set. Is there any 66" round storm pipe scoped for this project?

        Or is the data table found on plan sheet 3 incorrect and is supposed to represent the 53"x34" sized pipe? Please clarify and advise.

        RESPONSE: The pay item found on Plan Sheet 3 should be 0430175242 Pipe Culvert, Optional Material, Other Shape - Elip/Arch, 42" S/CD for a total of 144 LF.

        Question #18: Plan sheets 3 & 4 includes a data tables with various possible scope items. On plan sheet 3, Included in this data table for the base bid plans, is Clearing & Grubbing with a measured quantity of 2.23 AC, Litter Removal with a measured quantity of 11.62 AC, and Mowing with the same measured quantity of 11.62 AC. On plan sheet 4, Included in the add alternate bid plans is, Clearing and Grubbing with a measured quantity of0.51 AC, Litter Removal with a measured quantity of 2.80 AC, and Mowing with a measured quantity of 2.80 AC. However, the project specifications do not include any information for Litter Removal nor Mowing. FOOT Specifications includes specifications related to Litter Removal & Mowing. By FOOT specifications, the method of measurement for litter removal and mowing in Section 107, is stated as..."The quantity to be paid will be the project area shown in the Contract Documents, in acres, for each litter removal or mowing cycle completed and accepted..." The quantities given for litter removal and mowing do not divide evenly, nor do they equate to any area associated with clearing and grubbing, sodding, disturbed areas, combinations thereof, etc. Is Litter Removal and Mowing part of the scope of work for this project. If so, how will the area be determined as the only specifications currently referenced refer back to..." as shown in the contract documents."? Please clarify in detail and advise on how to calculate areas for litter removal and mowing specifically for this project if required.

        RESPONSE: Measurement calculations should consist of simple areas that represent the average widths from the edge of travel-ways to the right-of-way lines, using the beginning-to-end station for length. Account for number of cycles completed. No field measurements, deductions, or partial area measurement will be made.

        Question #19: Does the scope of work include permanent Type "B" 7.1'-8' with Barb Wire Attachment or is this fence slated as temporary. Plan sheets 10, 53, & 62 appear to show the approximate length from the data table on sheet 3, of the Type "B" 7.1'-8' with Barb Wire Attachment, to be temporary during the construction of the proposed ditch beginning at STA 26+89, 104' LT. However,

        notes and leaders state..."Existing Fence to be removed and reinstalled as needed to construct proposed ditch..." If we are reinstalling the fence, is there any portion of proposed permanent Type "B" 7.1'-8' with Barb Wire Attachment? Please clarify and advise.

        RESPONSE: The intent is to replace this section of fence with new fence as it is to conform to the proposed ditch. During construction, please ensure perimeter fence security is maintained.


        Question #20: Who owns any excess soil generated by this project? Should the port want to keep any excess soil generated by this project, to what specific Location will this material be stockpiled? Please clarify and advise.

        RESPONSE: Any excess material will be stored on Port property east of the Container Yard. Maximum distance to stockpile area is 1.25-miles. This will require Port access, which will be coordinated with Security. If

        Question #21: Plan sheets 3 & 73 include data tables showing 1 LS for "Painter Pavement Markings, Final Surface" in the base bid. However, this "Painter Pavement Markings, Final Surface" is absent from plan sheets 4 & 73 in the data table. Does the new asphalt for the bid add alternate not need "Painter Pavement Markings, Final Surface" before permanent thermoplastic striping is placed? Please clarify and advise.

        RESPONSE: Please include 0710-90 PAINTED PAVEMENT MARKINGS, FINAL SURFACE

        with the bid alternate.


        Question #22: Does the project base material need to be FDOT certified materials and sources? Please advise.

        RESPONSE: Yes.


        Question #23: When analyzing the bore logs within the project specifications, the materials and thicknesses show some discrepancies. The bore logs from the geotechnical report, contain the following information from the surface to 5' below: AB-1 Fine Sand with Silt (SP-SM}, AB-2 Fine Sand (SP}, AB-3 Fine Sand with Clay (SP-SC), and AB-4 Fine Sand with Clay. From the geotechnical report, each of these "AB" designations appear to have a corresponding "C" core designation provided with a base thickness and material not represented in the "AB" information. Cores C-1 through C-3 list base thickness of 11.5"-12" thick lime rock base, and Core C-4 lists a base

        thickness of 6" of asphalt. The lime rock base and asphalt base are not stated in the "AB" borings. Can lime rock base and asphalt material under the roadways as listed in C-1 through C-4 be confirmed vs. the "AB" borings? If the "AB" soil is more representative of the base material under the roadway, is the soil under the roadway treated with any sort of soil cement application?

        RESPONSE: The auger boring profiles have been modified to show pavement section in the profile. The soil under the roadway base was not observed to include soil cement. See attached revised report.

        Question #24: When analyzing the bore logs within the project specifications, AB-6 indicates unsuitable clay soil from about 3' below the existing surface, approximately 1' thick, down to 4' below the existing surface. Also, bore B-1 indicates unsuitable clay soil from approximately 4.5' below the existing surface, approximately 3' thick, down to 7.5' below the existing surface. B-1 does not appear to be located in the existing roadway but may be indicative of soil very nearby under the existing roadway. The proposed full depth roadway section the materials and thicknesses with asphalt and granular base is 19.5" thick or 14" thick with asphalt and B-12.5 asphalt base. FDOT Standard Plan lndes 120-002 page 2 show the removal of "Plastic Materials" within 24" of the bottom of the proposed base. By applying FDOT Index 120-002 at location AB-6, the proposed bottom of base would be within the 24" threshold as indicated and would be subject to removal under FDOT Standard Plans and Specifications. The application does not appear to be the same for location B-1, as long as the depth of the existing clay holds true. Moreover, the project specifications and the geotechnical report, appear to make no mention of the removal of unsuitable soil, nor the replacement of what would be considered suitable soil. The following questions are developed from the listed information:


        1. Are we to remove the identifiable unsuitable soil found at location AB-6 and as applied by FDOT Index 120-002?

        2. If removal of this identified unsuitable soil is required and due to the limited number of bores, would you be able to provide an applied limit on the unsuitable material required to be removed and replaced for bidding purposes?

        3. If removal and replacement of this identified unsuitable soil is required,

          would you please provide specifications for acceptable replacement material and quantities for bidding purposes?

        4. How will unsuitable soil be addressed and/or compensated for removal and replacement if encountered in areas not specifically indicated on within the project documents?

        Please clarify in detail and advise.


        RESPONSE: The soil classification for the roadway borings have been changed from ASTM Unified Soil Classifications to AASHTO classification, as typically provided for roadway borings. Only Stratum 6 soils (AASHTO Classification A-4) are Plastic, as defined by FDOT Index No. 120-001. The top of those soils in AB-6 are shown to be about 3.2 feet below the ground surface. We understand new asphalt and base may be constructed that includes 19.5 inches (1.6 feet) of pavement and asphalt. This resulting pavement surface and base extends about 1.6 feet below the ground surface. The top of the Plastic (clay) layer at this location is about 1.6 feet below the bottom of the pavement base. FDOT Standard Index 120-001 requires at least 2.0 feet from the bottom of the pavement base to the top of any plastic soils, but the bottom of page 2 of this standard also allows this distance to be reduced to 1.5 feet for "minor collectors and local facilities." We don't recommend excavating two feet of material to remove possibly 0.4 feet of plastic soils, as the lower separation of 1.5 feet can be justified.

        Question #25: Could you please confirm, for the base bid, white paint is to be installed for island nose areas, instead of yellow paint. Please clarify and advise.


        RESPONSE: Yellow paint with Y/Y RPMs are to be used on the west nose and white paint with MD/W RPMS are to be used on the east nose per FDOT Standard Plans Index 706-001-1.


        Question #26: Can information be provided on what the expected duration will be for CSX to install the new crossing improvements at the west track location?

        RESPONSE: CSX has indicated that the installation of the crossing will take seven (7) days, as a worst-case scenario. CSX has not provided a schedule for the work to-date.

        Question #27: Referencing the Summary of Pay Items on plan sheets 3 and 4. The Base Bid and Bid Alternat 1, both have pay items for, "Performance Turf, Sod and Soil-

        Shoulder Treatment, Index 570-010". I cannot find on the plans any call out for where Sod and Soil-Shoulder Treatment is to be installed. Can the location forthistreatment be provided? Index 570-010 has to options, Treatment 1 and Treatment 2, which treatment is to be utilized? Please advise.

        RESPONSE: Typical section shows shoulder sod 4' from edge of payment. The regular sod is outside of this limit. See below for graphical display. Also, reference sheet Shoulder Sodding and Turf on Existing Facilities - graphic also below. Treatment 1 is for areas that are being milled and resurfaced only. Treatment 2 is for areas that are being reconstructed.

    MEMORANDUM


    TO: John Glass, P.E.

    SeaPort Manatee Director of Engineering, Construction

    FROM: John Rice, P.E., CEM

    Project Manager

    DATE: July 14, 2026


    RE: SeaPort Manatee S. Dock Street Paving Project No. ITB-20260127-5

    Bid Analysis Review



    Bid Opening: July 2, 2026

    Low Bid (Base Bid): $1,422,773.63 (only base bid amount, alternate bid item #1 not included)

    Engineer’s Estimate: $2,044,709.09 (includes base bid of $1,722,715.12 and alternate bid item #1 of $321,993.97)

    Bidders (5): Landmark Services (Low Bidder for Base Bid), PCS Civil, Cathcart Construction, Superior Asphalt, and Woodruff & Sons


    As the Project Manager for the referenced project, I have reviewed the bid prices for the low bids, total bid and base bid, submitted by PCS Civil and Landmark Services, respectively, to determine whether the bids are responsive and responsible and fall within the generally accepted 25% tolerance threshold above or below the Engineer’s Estimate used by state agencies to identify unbalanced bids. A responsive bidder is one that submits a bid that fully complies with all the solicitation requirements. A responsible bidder is qualified, capable, and reliable to perform the contract.


    As all the bid items were lump sum line items, the determination for unbalanced bid was based on the total bid (including the bid alternate) and base bid amounts, being 25% below or 25% above the Engineer’s estimate. There were five bidders, Cathcart Construction, Landmark Services, PCS Civil, Superior Asphalt, and Woodruff & Sons that provided bids within 25% of the Engineer’s Estimate and all five of these bidders were considered balanced, with the exception of Superior for the base bid as they did not specify a base bid and therefore, the check could not be completed.


    Based on our analysis, Landmark Services is considered responsive, responsible bidder and RS&H recommends Landmark Services for the award of the Base Bid for SeaPort Manatee South Dock Street Paving, Project No. ITB-20260127-5. The Port has decided to not pursue alternate bid item #1.

          4. Liquidated damages for failing to timely attain Milestones, Substantial Completion, and final completion are not additive, and will not be imposed concurrently.

      2. If Owner recovers liquidated damages for a delay in completion by Contractor, then such liquidated damages are Owner's sole and exclusive remedy for such delay, and Owner is precluded from recovering any other damages, whether actual, direct, excess, or consequential, for such delay, except for special damages (if any) specified in this Agreement.

      3. The Owner may deduct liquidated damages as described in this section from any unpaid amounts due to Contractor under this Contract.

      4. Any liquidated damages not deducted or set-off from any unpaid amounts due to Contractor shall be payable to the Owner, at the demand of the Owner, together with interest from the date of the demand and at the maximum allowed interest rate.

      1. Contractor shall reimburse Owner (1) for any fines or penalties imposed on Owner as a direct result of the Contractor's failure to attain Substantial Completion according to the Contract Times, (2) for any loss of State funding by the Owner as a direct result of the Contractor's failure to attain Substantial Completion according to the Contract Times, and (3) for the actual costs reasonably incurred by Owner for engineering, construction observation, inspection, and administrative services needed after the time specified in Paragraph 4.02 for Substantial Completion (as duly adjusted pursuant to the Contract), until the Work is substantially complete.

Owner shall make progress payments on the basis of Contractor's Applications for Payment on or about the [ordinal number, such as 5th] day of each month during performance of the Work as provided in Paragraph 6.02.A.l below, provided that such Applications for Payment have been submitted in a timely manner and otherwise meet the requirements of the Contract. All such payments will be measured by the Schedule of Values established as provided in the General Conditions (and in the case of Unit Price Work based on the number of units completed) or, in the event there is no Schedule of Values, as provided elsewhere in the Contract. All retainage shall comply with section 255.078, Florida Statutes. All payments shall comply with sections 218.735, Fla. Stat. ("Florida's Local Government Prompt Payment Act").

        1. Prior to Substantial Completion, progress payments will be made in an amount equal to the percentage indicated below but, in each case, less the aggregate of payments previously made and less such amounts as Owner may withhold, including but not limited to liquidated damages, in accordance with the Contract.

          1. 95 percent of the value of the Work completed (with the balance being retainage).

            1. If 50 percent or more of the Work has been completed, as determined by Engineer, and if the character and progress oft he Work have been satisfactory to Owner and Engineer, then as long as the character and progress of the Work remain satisfactory to Owner and Engineer, there will be no additional retainage; and

          2. 95 percent of cost of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work (with the balance being retainage).

      2. Upon Substantial Completion, Owner shall pay an amount sufficient to increase total payments to Contractor to 100 percent of the Work completed, less such amounts set off by Owner pursuant to Paragraph 15.01.E of the General Conditions, and less 150 percent of Engineer's estimate of the value of Work to be completed or corrected as shown on the punch list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment.

      3. Within 5 calendar days following Substantial Completion, the Contractor shall supply a list of items and the estimated costs to complete each item on the list required to render complete, satisfactory, and acceptable final completion to the Owner in accordance with section 255.077, Florida Statutes. Within 30 calendar days following substantial completion Owner must review and revise the list as necessary to reach final completion and provide final Punch List to Contractor.

        Page4of 14

        equal to or more than ten million dollars.

Upon completion of all items on the list, the Contractor may submit a payment request for all remaining retainage withheld by the Owner. However, if a good faith dispute exists as to whether one or more items identified on the list have been completed pursuant to the Agreement, upon Owner's written notice thereof to the Contractor, Owner may continue to withhold an amount not to exceed 150 percent of the estimated total costs to complete such items. Warranty items may not affect the final payment retainage as provided herein. The Owner is not required to pay or process any payment request for retainage if the Contractor has failed to cooperate with the Owner in the development of the list or failed to perform its contractual responsibilities with regard to the development of a list or ifs. 255.078(3), Florida Statutes, applies. The failure to include any corrective work or pending items not yet completed on the Punch List does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all the construction services purchased pursuant to the Contract Documents.

    3. Final Payment

      1. Upon final completion and acceptance of the Work, Owner shall pay the remainder of the Contract Price in accordance with Paragraph 15.06 of the General Conditions. Contractor's acceptance of final payment from Owner shall constitute a full waiver and release.

    4. Consent of Surety

        ARTICLE 8-NOT USED

        AGREEMENT ITB-20260127-5/RH-0-2026/JDG

        DATE: 05/29/2026


          1. The Project is funded in part from the proceeds of a grant(s) from the Florida Department of Commerce. This grant funding is conditioned in part on the Contractor meeting the following requirements:

            1. DBE Policy: The contractor and subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this Contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of this Contract. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Contract, which may result in the termination of this Contract or such remedy as the Owner deems appropriate.

            2. Contractor understands that the grant funding is dependent on completion of Work within the Contract Times and the Milestones and the Contractor agrees to complete the Work within the Contract Times and Milestones. Should the Contractor fail to complete the Work within the Contact Times and Milestones, the Contractor agrees the provisions of Article 4 above shall apply.

            3. No member, officer or employee of Contractor during this Contract or 2 years thereafter shall have any interest, direct or indirect, in this contract or the proceeds thereof. Moreover, this provision must be inserted in any subcontracts for the Work.

            4. Contractor shall not employ unauthorized aliens in violation of section 274(e) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act. If Contractor knowingly employs unauthorized aliens, such violation will be cause for unilateral cancellation of this Contract.

              E.

              To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner and the State of Florida, Department of Commerce, including the Department's 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 the Contract and person employed or utilized by the Contractor in the performance of this Agreement. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this this paragraphs is intended to nor shall it constitute a waiver of the State of Florida and the Owner's sovereign immunity.

              1. Contractor agrees to include the above provision (E.) in its subcontracts for those who perform Work in connection with this Contract.

              2. The State of Florida requires that iron or steel products permanently incorporated in certain public works projects be produced in the United States. See § 255.0993, Fla. Stat. (2024). By executing this Agreement, Contractor certifies it has carefully reviewed the technical specifications to determine whether and how this requirement applies to this project and prepare its bid accordingly. Contractor's failure to account for this statutory requirement will not justify a later change to the Contract Price.

        3. The words “perform” or “provide,” when used in connection with services, materials, or equipment, means to furnish and install said services, materials, or equipment complete and ready for intended use.

        4. If the Contract Documents establish an obligation of Contractor with respect to specific services, materials, or equipment, but do not expressly use any of the four words “furnish,” “install,” “perform,” or “provide,” then Contractor shall furnish and install said services, materials, or equipment complete and ready for intended use.

Such prices will include an appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to each item of Work.

    4. Preconstruction Conference; Designation of Authorized Representatives

      1. Before any Work at the Site is started, a conference attended by Owner, Contractor, Engineer, and others as appropriate will be held to establish a working understanding among the parties as to the Work, and to discuss the schedules referred to in Paragraph 2.03.A, procedures for handling Shop Drawings, Samples, and other Submittals, processing Applications for Payment, electronic or digital transmittals, and maintaining required records.

      2. At this conference Owner and Contractor each shall designate, in writing, a specific individual to act as its authorized representative with respect to the services and responsibilities under the Contract. Such individuals shall have the authority to transmit and receive information, render decisions relative to the Contract, and otherwise act on behalf of each respective party.

    5. Acceptance of Schedules

      1. At least 10 days before submission of the first Application for Payment a conference, attended by Contractor, Engineer, and others as appropriate, will be held to review the schedules submitted in accordance with Paragraph 2.03.A. No progress payment will be made to Contractor until acceptable schedules are submitted to Engineer.

        1. The Progress Schedule will be acceptable to Engineer if it provides an orderly progression of the Work to completion within the Contract Times. Such acceptance will not impose on Engineer responsibility for the Progress Schedule, for sequencing, scheduling, or progress of the Work, nor interfere with or relieve Contractor from Contractor’s full responsibility therefor.

        2. Contractor’s Schedule of Submittals will be acceptable to Engineer if it provides a

          workable arrangement for reviewing and processing the required submittals.

        3. Contractor’s Schedule of Values will be acceptable to Engineer as to form and substance if it provides a reasonable allocation of the Contract Price to the component parts of the Work.

        4. If a schedule is not acceptable, Contractor will have an additional 10 days to revise and resubmit the schedule.

    6. Electronic Transmittals

      1. Except as otherwise stated elsewhere in the Contract, the Owner, Engineer, and Contractor may send, and shall accept, Electronic Documents transmitted by Electronic Means.

      2. If the Contract does not establish protocols for Electronic Means, then Owner, Engineer, and Contractor shall jointly develop such protocols.

      3. Subject to any governing protocols for Electronic Means, when transmitting Electronic Documents by Electronic Means, the transmitting party makes no representations as to long-term compatibility, usability, or readability of the Electronic Documents resulting from the recipient’s use of software application packages, operating systems, or computer hardware differing from those used in the drafting or transmittal of the Electronic Documents.

ARTICLE 3—CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: INTENT, REQUIREMENTS, REUSE

    1. Intent

      1. The Contract Documents are complementary; what is required by one Contract Document is as binding as if required by all.

      2. It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete Project (or part thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents.

        1.   It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete Project (or part thereof)  to  be  constructed  in  accordance  with  the  Contract  Documents.    Any  labor, documentation, services, materials or equipment that may reasonably be inferred from the Contract Documents or from prevailing Custom or trade usage as being required to produce the intended result will be provided whether or not specifically called for at no additional costs to the Owner. Contractor shall be responsible for the construction and coordination of the parts of the Project and all systems provided shall be completely compatible and fully functional without additional costs to the Owner.

        2. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, if there is a discrepancy between the electronic versions of the Contract Documents (including any printed copies derived from such electronic versions) and the printed record version, the printed record version will govern.

        3. The Contract supersedes prior negotiations, representations, and agreements, whether written or oral.

        4. Engineer will issue clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents as provided herein.

        5. Any provision or part of the Contract Documents held to be void or unenforceable under any Law or Regulation will be deemed stricken, and all remaining provisions will continue to be valid and binding upon Owner and Contractor, which agree that the Contract Documents will be reformed to replace such stricken provision or part thereof with a valid and enforceable provision that comes as close as possible to expressing the intention of the stricken provision.

        6. Nothing in the Contract Documents creates:

          1. any contractual relationship between Owner or Engineer and any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity performing or furnishing any of the Work, for the benefit of such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity; or

          2. any obligation on the part of Owner or Engineer to pay or to see to the payment of any money due any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, except as may otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations.

        7.   Each and every provision of Law and Regulations required to be inserted in these Contract Documents are deemed to be inserted, and will be read and enforced as though they were included in the Contract Documents, and if through mistake or otherwise, any such provision is not included, or if not correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, the Contract Documents will be physically amended to make such insertion.


    2. Reference Standards

      1. Standards Specifications, Codes, Laws and Regulations

        1. Reference in the Contract Documents to standard specifications, manuals, reference standards, or codes of any technical society, organization, or association, or to Laws or Regulations, whether such reference be specific or by implication, means the standard specification, manual, reference standard, code, or Laws or Regulations in effect at the

          time of opening of Bids (or on the Effective Date of the Contract if there were no Bids), except as may be otherwise specifically stated in the Contract Documents.

        2. No provision of any such standard specification, manual, reference standard, or code, and no instruction of a Supplier, will be effective to change the duties or responsibilities of Owner, Contractor, or Engineer from those set forth in the part of the Contract Documents prepared by or for Engineer. No such provision or instruction shall be effective to assign to Owner or Engineer any duty or authority to supervise or direct the performance of the Work, or any duty or authority to undertake responsibility inconsistent with the provisions of the part of the Contract Documents prepared by or for Engineer.

    3. Reporting and Resolving Discrepancies

      1. Reporting Discrepancies

        1. Contractor’s Verification of Figures and Field Measurements: Before undertaking each part of the Work, Contractor shall carefully study the Contract Documents, and check and verify pertinent figures and dimensions therein, particularly with respect to applicable field measurements. Contractor shall promptly report in writing to Engineer any conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy that Contractor discovers, or has actual knowledge of, and shall not proceed with any Work affected thereby until the conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy is resolved by a clarification or interpretation by Engineer, or by an amendment or supplement to the Contract issued pursuant to Paragraph 11.01.

        2. Contractor’s Review of Contract Documents: If, before or during the performance of the Work, Contractor discovers any conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy within the Contract Documents, or between the Contract Documents and (a) any applicable Law or Regulation, (b) actual field conditions, (c) any standard specification, manual, reference standard, or code, or (d) any instruction of any Supplier, then Contractor shall promptly report it to Engineer in writing. Contractor shall not proceed with the Work affected thereby (except in an emergency as required by Paragraph 7.15) until the conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy is resolved, by a clarification or interpretation by Engineer, or by an amendment or supplement to the Contract issued pursuant to Paragraph 11.01.

        3. Contractor shall not be liable to Owner or Engineer for failure to report any conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy in the Contract Documents unless Contractor had actual knowledge thereof.

          3Contractor will not be liable to Owner or Engineer for failure to report any conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy in the Contract Documents unless Contractor knew or could have reasonably been expected to know or anticipated thereof.


      2. Resolving Discrepancies

        1. Except as may be otherwise specifically stated in the Contract Documents, the provisions of the part of the Contract Documents prepared by or for Engineer take precedence in

          resolving any conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy between such provisions of the Contract Documents and:

          1. the provisions of any standard specification, manual, reference standard, or code, or the instruction of any Supplier (whether or not specifically incorporated by reference as a Contract Document); or

          2. the provisions of any Laws or Regulations applicable to the performance of the Work (unless such an interpretation of the provisions of the Contract Documents would result in violation of such Law or Regulation).

    4. Requirements of the Contract Documents

      1. During the performance of the Work and until final payment, Contractor and Owner shall submit to the Engineer in writing all matters in question concerning the requirements of the Contract Documents (sometimes referred to as requests for information or interpretation—RFIs), or relating to the acceptability of the Work under the Contract Documents, as soon as possible after such matters arise. Engineer will be the initial interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents, and judge of the acceptability of the Work.

      2. Engineer will, with reasonable promptness, render a written clarification, interpretation, or decision on the issue submitted, or initiate an amendment or supplement to the Contract Documents. Engineer’s written clarification, interpretation, or decision will be final and binding on Contractor, unless it appeals by submitting a Change Proposal, and on Owner, unless it appeals by filing a Claim.

      3. If a submitted matter in question concerns terms and conditions of the Contract Documents that do not involve (1) the performance or acceptability of the Work under the Contract Documents, (2) the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), or (3) other engineering or technical matters, then Engineer will promptly notify Owner and Contractor in writing that Engineer is unable to provide a decision or interpretation. If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree on resolution of such a matter in question, either party may pursue resolution as provided in Article 12.

    5. Reuse of Documents

      1. Contractor and its Subcontractors and Suppliers shall not:

        1. have or acquire any title to or ownership rights in any of the Drawings, Specifications, or other documents (or copies of any thereof) prepared by or bearing the seal of Engineer or its consultants, including electronic media versions, or reuse any such Drawings, Specifications, other documents, or copies thereof on extensions of the Project or any other project without written consent of Owner and Engineer and specific written verification or adaptation by Engineer; or

        2. have or acquire any title or ownership rights in any other Contract Documents, reuse any such Contract Documents for any purpose without Owner’s express written consent, or violate any copyrights pertaining to such Contract Documents.

      2. The prohibitions of this Paragraph 3.05 will survive final payment, or termination of the Contract. Nothing herein precludes Contractor from retaining copies of the Contract Documents for record purposes.

ARTICLE 4—COMMENCEMENT AND PROGRESS OF THE WORK

    1. Commencement of Contract Times; Notice to Proceed

      1. The Contract Times will commence to run on the 30th day after the Effective Date of the Contract or, if a Notice to Proceed is given, on the day indicated in the Notice to Proceed. A Notice to Proceed may be given at any time within 30 days after the Effective Date of the Contract. In no event will the Contract Times commence to run later than the 60th day after the day of Bid opening or the 30th day after the Effective Date of the Contract, whichever date is earlier.

        1.   The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in a Notice to Proceed.  A Notice to Proceed may be given at any time within 60 days after the Effective Date of the Contract.

    2. Starting the Work

      1. Contractor shall start to perform the Work on the date when the Contract Times commence to run. No Work may be done at the Site prior to such date.

      2.   Contractor shall have the sole responsibility of satisfying itself concerning the nature and location of the Work and the general and local conditions, and particularly, but without limitation, with respect to the following: those affecting transportation, access, legal disposal, handling and storage of materials; availability and quality of labor; water and electric power; availability and condition of roads; work area; living facilities; climatic conditions and seasons; physical conditions at the Site and the Project area as a whole; topography and ground surface conditions; nature and quantity of the surface materials to be encountered; subsurface conditions; equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during performance of the Work; and all other costs associated with such performance. The failure of Contractor to acquaint itself with any applicable conditions shall not relieve Contractor from any of its responsibilities to perform under the Contract Documents, nor shall it be considered the basis for any claim for additional time or compensation.

    3. Reference Points

      1. Owner shall provide engineering surveys to establish reference points for construction which in Engineer’s judgment are necessary to enable Contractor to proceed with the Work. Contractor shall be responsible for laying out the Work, shall protect and preserve the established reference points and property monuments, and shall make no changes or relocations without the prior written approval of Owner. Contractor shall report to Engineer whenever any reference point or property monument is lost or destroyed or requires relocation because of necessary changes in grades or locations, and shall be responsible for the accurate replacement or relocation of such reference points or property monuments by professionally qualified personnel.

      2. Engineer may check the lines, elevations, reference marks, batter boards, etc., set by Contractor, and Contractor shall correct any errors disclosed by such check. Such a check shall not be considered as approval of Contractor's work and shall not relieve Contractor of the responsibility for accurate construction of the entire Work. Contractor shall furnish personnel to assist Engineer in checking lines and grade.

    4. Progress Schedule

      1. Contractor shall adhere to the Progress Schedule established in accordance with Paragraph 2.05 as it may be adjusted from time to time as provided below.

    5. Delays in Contractor’s Progress

      1. If Owner, Engineer, or anyone for whom Owner is responsible, delays, disrupts, or interferes with the performance or progress of the Work, then Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times.

  1.   If Owner, Engineer, or anyone for whom Owner is responsible, delays, disrupts, or interferes with the performance or progress of the Work, then Contractor may be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract Times. Contractor’s entitlement to an adjustment of the Contract Times is conditioned on such adjustment being essential to Contractor’s ability to complete the Work within the Contract Times.

  2. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times for delay, disruption, or interference caused by or within the control of Contractor. Delay, disruption, and interference attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be within the control of Contractor.

  3. If Contractor’s performance or progress is delayed, disrupted, or interfered with by unanticipated causes not the fault of and beyond the control of Owner, Contractor, and those for which they are responsible, then Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in Contract Times. Such an adjustment will be Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for the delays, disruption, and interference described in this paragraph. Causes of delay, disruption, or interference that may give rise to an adjustment in Contract Times under this paragraph include but are not limited to the following:

    1. Severe and unavoidable natural catastrophes such as fires, floods, epidemics, and earthquakes;

    2. Abnormal weather conditions;

    3. Acts or failures to act of third-party utility owners or other third-party entities (other than those third-party utility owners or other third-party entities performing other work at or adjacent to the Site as arranged by or under contract with Owner, as contemplated in Article 8); and

    4. Acts of war or terrorism.

  1.   If  Contractor’s  performance  or  progress  is  delayed,  disrupted,  or  interfered  with  by unanticipated causes not the fault of and beyond the control of Owner, Contractor, and those for which they are responsible, then Contractor may be entitled to an equitable adjustment in Contract Times.  Contractor’s entitlement to an adjustment of the Contract Times is conditioned on such adjustment being essential to Contractor’s ability to complete the Work within the Contract Times. Such an adjustment will be Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for the delays, disruption, and interference described in this paragraph.  Causes of delay, disruption, or interference that may give rise to an adjustment in Contract Times under this paragraph include but are not limited to the following:

    1.   severe  and  unavoidable  natural  catastrophes  such  as  fires,  floods,  epidemics,  and earthquakes;

    2.   abnormal weather conditions, that are not specified in Section 7.03;

    3.   acts or failures to act of utility owners (other than those performing other work at or adjacent to the Site by arrangement with the Owner, as contemplated in Article 8); and

    4.   acts of war or terrorism.

  2. Contractor’s entitlement to an adjustment of Contract Times or Contract Price is limited as

    follows:

    1. Contractor’s entitlement to an adjustment of the Contract Times is conditioned on the delay, disruption, or interference adversely affecting an activity on the critical path to completion of the Work, as of the time of the delay, disruption, or interference.

    2. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price for any delay, disruption, or interference if such delay is concurrent with a delay, disruption, or interference caused by or within the control of Contractor. Such a concurrent delay by Contractor shall not preclude an adjustment of Contract Times to which Contractor is otherwise entitled.

    3. Adjustments of Contract Times or Contract Price are subject to the provisions of Article 11.

  1.   No delay may entitle the Contractor to an increase of the Contract Price except where the Owner or Engineer acted in bad faith to prevent the progress of Work or unanticipated site conditions that are verified in writing and prevent the progress of Work.  The Contractor acknowledges that in agreeing to the Contract Price, it has assessed the potential impact of the limitations of this section on its ability to recover additional compensation in connection with a Work delay or interference and the Contractor agrees that the limitations will apply, regardless of the accuracy of the Contractor’s assessment or actual costs incurred by the Contractor in connection with any such delays or interference.

  2. Each Contractor request or Change Proposal seeking an increase in Contract Times or Contract Price must be supplemented by supporting data that sets forth in detail the following:

    1. The circumstances that form the basis for the requested adjustment;

    2. The date upon which each cause of delay, disruption, or interference began to affect the progress of the Work;

    3. The date upon which each cause of delay, disruption, or interference ceased to affect the progress of the Work;

    4. The number of days’ increase in Contract Times claimed as a consequence of each such

      cause of delay, disruption, or interference; and

    5. The impact on Contract Price, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 11.07.

Contractor shall also furnish such additional supporting documentation as Owner or Engineer may require including, where appropriate, a revised progress schedule indicating all the activities affected by the delay, disruption, or interference, and an explanation of the effect of the delay, disruption, or interference on the critical path to completion of the Work.

  1.   Contractor will not be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times for any delay, disruption, or interference if such delay is concurrent with a delay, disruption, or interference caused by or within the control of Contractor.

  2. Delays, disruption, and interference to the performance or progress of the Work resulting from the existence of a differing subsurface or physical condition, an Underground Facility that was not shown or indicated by the Contract Documents, or not shown or indicated with reasonable accuracy, and those resulting from Hazardous Environmental Conditions, are governed by Article 5, together with the provisions of Paragraphs 4.05.D and 4.05.E.

  3. Paragraph 8.03 addresses delays, disruption, and interference to the performance or progress of the Work resulting from the performance of certain other work at or adjacent to the Site.

  4.   Contractor must submit any Change Proposal seeking an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times under this paragraph within 30 days of the commencement of the delaying, disrupting, or interfering event.

ARTICLE 5—SITE; SUBSURFACE AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS; HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

    1. Availability of Lands

        Drawing Title

        Date of Drawings

        Technical Data











    4. Differing Subsurface or Physical Conditions

      1. Notice by Contractor: If Contractor believes that any subsurface or physical condition that is uncovered or revealed at the Site:

        1. is of such a nature as to establish that any Technical Data on which Contractor is entitled to rely as provided in Paragraph 5.03 is materially inaccurate;

        2. is of such a nature as to require a change in the Drawings or Specifications;

        3. differs materially from that shown or indicated in the Contract Documents; or

        4. is of an unusual nature, and differs materially from conditions ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract Documents;

          then Contractor shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof and before further disturbing the subsurface or physical conditions or performing any Work in connection therewith (except in an emergency as required by Paragraph 7.15), notify Owner and Engineer in writing about such condition. Contractor shall not further disturb such condition or perform any Work in

          connection therewith (except with respect to an emergency) until receipt of a written statement permitting Contractor to do so.

      2. Engineer’s Review: After receipt of written notice as required by the preceding paragraph, Engineer will promptly review the subsurface or physical condition in question; determine whether it is necessary for Owner to obtain additional exploration or tests with respect to the condition; conclude whether the condition falls within any one or more of the differing site condition categories in Paragraph 5.04.A; obtain any pertinent cost or schedule information from Contractor; prepare recommendations to Owner regarding the Contractor’s resumption of Work in connection with the subsurface or physical condition in question and the need for any change in the Drawings or Specifications; and advise Owner in writing of Engineer’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations.

      3. Owner’s Statement to Contractor Regarding Site Condition: After receipt of Engineer’s written findings, conclusions, and recommendations, Owner shall issue a written statement to Contractor (with a copy to Engineer) regarding the subsurface or physical condition in question, addressing the resumption of Work in connection with such condition, indicating whether any change in the Drawings or Specifications will be made, and adopting or rejecting Engineer’s written findings, conclusions, and recommendations, in whole or in part.

      4. Early Resumption of Work: If at any time Engineer determines that Work in connection with the subsurface or physical condition in question may resume prior to completion of Engineer’s review or Owner’s issuance of its statement to Contractor, because the condition in question has been adequately documented, and analyzed on a preliminary basis, then the Engineer may at its discretion instruct Contractor to resume such Work.

      5. Possible Price and Times Adjustments

        1. Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times, to the extent that the existence of a differing subsurface or physical condition, or any related delay, disruption, or interference, causes an increase or decrease in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of the Work; subject, however, to the following:

          1. Such condition must fall within any one or more of the categories described in Paragraph 5.04.A;

          2. With respect to Work that is paid for on a unit price basis, any adjustment in Contract Price will be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13.03; and,

        5.06.A.4 and 5.06.A.5 with respect to such reports and drawings, but such reports and drawings are not Contract Documents. If no such express identification has been made, then Contractor may rely on the accuracy of the Technical Data as defined in Paragraph 1.01.A.4645.b. Except for such reliance on Technical Data, Contractor may not rely

        upon or make any claim against Owner or Engineer, or any of their officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, consultants, or subcontractors, with respect to:

        1. the completeness of such reports and drawings for Contractor’s purposes, including, but not limited to, any aspects of the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction to be employed by Contractor, and safety precautions and programs incident thereto;

        2. other data, interpretations, opinions, and information contained in such reports or shown or indicated in such drawings; or

        3. any Contractor interpretation of or conclusion drawn from any Technical Data or any such other data, interpretations, opinions or information.

      3. Contractor shall not be responsible for removing or remediating any Hazardous Environmental Condition encountered, uncovered, or revealed at the Site unless such removal or remediation is expressly identified in the Contract Documents to be within the scope of the Work.

      5. If Contractor encounters, uncovers, or reveals a Hazardous Environmental Condition whose removal or remediation is not expressly identified in the Contract Documents as being within the scope of the Work, or if Contractor or anyone for whom Contractor is responsible creates a Hazardous Environmental Condition, then Contractor shall immediately: (1) secure or otherwise isolate such condition; (2) stop all Work in connection with such condition and in any area affected thereby (except in an emergency as required by Paragraph 7.15); and (3) notify Owner and Engineer (and promptly thereafter confirm such notice in writing). Owner shall promptly consult with Engineer concerning the necessity for Owner to retain a qualified expert to evaluate such condition or take corrective action, if any. Promptly after consulting with Engineer, Owner shall take such actions as are necessary to permit Owner to timely obtain required permits and provide Contractor the written notice required by Paragraph 5.06.F. If Contractor or anyone for whom Contractor is responsible created the Hazardous Environmental Condition in question, then Owner may remove and remediate the Hazardous Environmental Condition, and impose a set-off against payments to account for the associated costs.

      6. Contractor shall not resume Work in connection with such Hazardous Environmental Condition or in any affected area until after Owner has obtained any required permits related thereto, and delivered written notice to Contractor either (1) specifying that such condition and any affected area is or has been rendered safe for the resumption of Work, or (2) specifying any special conditions under which such Work may be resumed safely.

      7. If Owner and Contractor cannot agree as to entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of any adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times, as a result of such Work stoppage, such special conditions under which Work is agreed to be resumed by Contractor, or any costs or expenses incurred in response to the Hazardous Environmental Condition, then within 30

        days of Owner’s written notice regarding the resumption of Work, Contractor may submit a Change Proposal, or Owner may impose a set-off. Entitlement to any such adjustment is subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 4.05.D, 4.05.E, 11.07, and 11.08.

      8. If, after receipt of such written notice, Contractor does not agree to resume such Work based on a reasonable belief it is unsafe, or does not agree to resume such Work under such special conditions, then Owner may order the portion of the Work that is in the area affected by such condition to be deleted from the Work, following the contractual change procedures in Article 11. Owner may have such deleted portion of the Work performed by Owner’s own forces or others in accordance with Article 8.

      9. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless Contractor, Subcontractors, and Engineer, and the officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, consultants, and subcontractors of each and any of them, from and against all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals, and all court, arbitration, or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to a Hazardous Environmental Condition, provided that such Hazardous Environmental Condition (1) was not shown or indicated in the Drawings, Specifications, or other Contract Documents, identified as Technical Data entitled to limited reliance pursuant to Paragraph 5.06.B, or identified in the Contract Documents to be included within the scope of the Work, and (2) was not created by Contractor or by anyone for whom Contractor is responsible.

        1.   If the surety on a bond furnished by Contractor is declared bankrupt or becomes insolvent, or its right to do business is terminated in any state or jurisdiction where any part of the Project is located, or the surety ceases to meet the requirements above, then Contractor will promptly notify Owner and Engineer and will, within 20 days after the event giving rise to such notification, provide another bond and surety, both of which will comply with the bond and surety requirements above.

        2. If Contractor has failed to obtain a required bond, Owner may exclude the Contractor from

          the Site and exercise Owner’s termination rights under Article 16.

        3. Upon request to Owner from any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other person or entity claiming to have furnished labor, services, materials, or equipment used in the performance of the Work, Owner shall provide a copy of the payment bond to such person or entity.

    2. Insurance—General Provisions

      1. Owner and Contractor shall obtain and maintain insurance as required in this article and in the Supplementary Conditions.

      2. All insurance required by the Contract to be purchased and maintained by Owner or Contractor shall be obtained from insurance companies that are duly licensed or authorized in the state or jurisdiction in which the Project is located to issue insurance policies for the required limits and coverages. Unless a different standard is indicated in the Supplementary Conditions, all companies that provide insurance policies required under this Contract shall have an A.M. Best rating of A-VII or better.

      3. Alternative forms of insurance coverage, including but not limited to self-insurance and “Occupational Accident and Excess Employer’s Indemnity Policies,” are not sufficient to meet the insurance requirements of this Contract, unless expressly allowed in the Supplementary Conditions.

      4. Contractor shall deliver to Owner, with copies to each additional insured identified in the Contract, certificates of insurance and endorsements establishing that Contractor has obtained and is maintaining the policies and coverages required by the Contract. Upon request by Owner or any other insured, Contractor shall also furnish other evidence of such required insurance, including but not limited to copies of policies, documentation of applicable self-insured retentions (if allowed) and deductibles, full disclosure of all relevant exclusions, and evidence of insurance required to be purchased and maintained by Subcontractors or Suppliers. In any documentation furnished under this provision, Contractor, Subcontractors, and Suppliers may block out (redact) (1) any confidential premium or pricing information and (2) any wording specific to a project or jurisdiction other than those applicable to this Contract.

      5. Owner shall deliver to Contractor, with copies to each additional insured identified in the Contract, certificates of insurance and endorsements establishing that Owner has obtained and is maintaining the policies and coverages required of Owner by the Contract (if any). Upon request by Contractor or any other insured, Owner shall also provide other evidence of such required insurance (if any), including but not limited to copies of policies, documentation of applicable self-insured retentions (if allowed) and deductibles, and full disclosure of all relevant exclusions. In any documentation furnished under this provision, Owner may block out (redact) (1) any confidential premium or pricing information and (2) any wording specific to a project or jurisdiction other than those relevant to this Contract.

      6. Failure of Owner or Contractor to demand such certificates or other evidence of the other party’s full compliance with these insurance requirements, or failure of Owner or Contractor to identify a deficiency in compliance from the evidence provided, will not be construed as a waiver of the other party’s obligation to obtain and maintain such insurance.

      7. In addition to the liability insurance required to be provided by Contractor, the Owner, at Owner’s option, may purchase and maintain Owner’s own liability insurance. Owner’s liability policies, if any, operate separately and independently from policies required to be provided by Contractor, and Contractor cannot rely upon Owner’s liability policies for any of Contractor’s obligations to the Owner, Engineer, or third parties.

      8. Contractor shall require:

        1. Subcontractors to purchase and maintain worker’s compensation, commercial general liability, and other insurance that is appropriate for their participation in the Project, and to name as additional insureds Owner and Engineer (and any other individuals or entities identified in the Supplementary Conditions as additional insureds on Contractor’s liability policies) on each Subcontractor’s commercial general liability insurance policy; and

        2. Suppliers to purchase and maintain insurance that is appropriate for their participation in the Project.

      9. If either party does not purchase or maintain the insurance required of such party by the Contract, such party shall notify the other party in writing of such failure to purchase prior to the start of the Work, or of such failure to maintain prior to any change in the required coverage.

      10. If Contractor has failed to obtain and maintain required insurance, Contractor’s entitlement to enter or remain at the Site will end immediately, and Owner may impose an appropriate set-off against payment for any associated costs (including but not limited to the cost of purchasing necessary insurance coverage), and exercise Owner’s termination rights under Article 16.

      11. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if a party has failed to obtain required insurance, the other party may elect (but is in no way obligated) to obtain equivalent insurance to protect such other party’s interests at the expense of the party who was required to provide such coverage, and the Contract Price will be adjusted accordingly.

      12. Owner does not represent that insurance coverage and limits established in this Contract necessarily will be adequate to protect Contractor or Contractor’s interests. Contractor is responsible for determining whether such coverage and limits are adequate to protect its

        interests, and for obtaining and maintaining any additional insurance that Contractor deems necessary.

      13. The insurance and insurance limits required herein will not be deemed as a limitation on Contractor’s liability, or that of its Subcontractors or Suppliers, under the indemnities granted to Owner and other individuals and entities in the Contract or otherwise.

      14. All the policies of insurance required to be purchased and maintained under this Contract will contain a provision or endorsement that the coverage afforded will not be canceled, or renewal refused, until at least 10 days prior written notice has been given to the purchasing policyholder. Within three days of receipt of any such written notice, the purchasing policyholder shall provide a copy of the notice to each other insured and Engineer.

        1.   Contractor shall obtain and maintain insurance as required in this.

        2.   All insurance required by the Contract to be purchased and maintained by Contractor will be obtained from an insurance company or companies that are duly licensed or authorized, to do business in the State of Florida, to issue insurance policies for the required limits and coverages.  Unless a different standard is indicated, all companies that provide insurance policies required under this Contract must have an A.M. Best rating of A-VII or better.

        3.   Prior to the commencement of Work governed by this Contract (including the pre-staging of personnel and material), the Contractor shall obtain, at his/her own expense, insurance as specified below which are made part of this Contract.  The Contractor shall ensure that the insurance obtained will extend protection to all Subcontractors engaged by the Contractor. As  an  alternative,  the  Contractor  may  require  all  Subcontractors  to  obtain  insurance consistent with the below requirements.

        4.   The Contractor will not be permitted to commence Work governed by this Contract (including pre-staging of personnel and material) until satisfactory evidence of the required insurance has been furnished to the Owner as specified below. Delays in the commencement of Work, resulting from the failure of the Contractor to provide satisfactory evidence of the required insurance, will not extend deadlines specified in this Contract and any penalties and failure to perform assessments will be imposed as if the Work commenced on the specified date and time, except for the Contractor's failure to provide satisfactory evidence.

        5.   Contractor shall deliver to Owner, with copies to each named insured and additional insured (as identified in this Article or elsewhere in the Contract), either:

          1.   certificates of insurance establishing that Contractor has obtained and is maintaining the policies, coverages, and endorsements required by the Contract or

          2.   a certified copy of the actual insurance polies and endorsements, and documentation of applicable self-insured retentions and deductibles. Contractor may block out (redact) any confidential premium or pricing information contained in any policy or endorsement furnished under this provision.


        6.   The Owner, at its sole option, has the right to request a certified copy of any or all insurance policies required by this Contract.

        7.   The Contractor shall maintain the required coverages throughout the entire term of this Contract and any extensions specified in any attached schedules and four years thereafter. If

          the required Commercial General Liability coverage is provided on a “Claims Made” basis, such coverage will be maintained for a minimum of four years after acceptance by the Owner. Failure to comply with this provision may result in the immediate suspension of all Work until the required insurance has been reinstated or replaced. Delays in the completion of Work resulting from the failure of the Contractor to maintain the required insurance will not extend deadlines specified in this Contract and any penalties and failure to perform assessments will be imposed as if the Work had not been suspended, except for the Contractor's failure to maintain the required insurance.

        8.   The Contractor will be held responsible for all deductibles and self-insured retentions that

          may be contained in the Contractor’s insurance policies.

        9.    Contractor also shall notify Owner within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt, of any notices of expiration, cancellation, non-renewal or material change in coverages or limits received by Contractor from its insurer, and nothing contained herein shall relieve Contractor of this requirement to provide notice.

        10.    The acceptance and/or approval of the Contractor's insurance will not be construed as relieving the Contractor from any liability or obligation assumed under this Contract or imposed by Laws and Regulations.

        11.   Failure of Owner to demand such certificates or other evidence of the Contractor’s full compliance with these insurance requirements, or failure of Owner to identify a deficiency in compliance from the evidence provided, will not be construed as a waiver of the Contractor’s obligation to obtain and maintain such insurance.

All special warranties and guarantees required by the Specifications will expressly run to the benefit of Owner. If required by Engineer, Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence (including reports of required tests) as to the source, kind, and quality of materials and equipment.

        1.   All materials and equipment incorporated into the Work will be of good quality and new, except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.  All special warranties and guarantees required by the Specifications must expressly run to the benefit of Owner.  If required by Engineer, Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence (including reports of required tests) as to the source, kind, and quality of materials and equipment.  The use of asbestos or asbestos-based fiber materials is prohibited in this Project.

        2. All materials and equipment must be stored, applied, installed, connected, erected, protected, used, cleaned, and conditioned in accordance with instructions of the applicable Supplier, except as otherwise may be provided in the Contract Documents.

    5. “Or Equals”

      1. Contractor’s Request; Governing Criteria: Whenever an item of equipment or material is specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the names of one or more proprietary items or specific Suppliers, the Contract Price has been based upon Contractor furnishing such item as specified. The specification or description of such an item is intended to establish the type, function, appearance, and quality required. Unless the specification or description contains or is followed by words reading that no like, equivalent, or “or equal” item is permitted, Contractor may request that Engineer authorize the use of other items of equipment or material, or items from other proposed Suppliers, under the circumstances described below.

        1. If Engineer in its sole discretion determines that an item of equipment or material proposed by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will be required, Engineer will deem it an “or equal” item. For the purposes of this paragraph, a proposed item of equipment or material will be considered functionally equal to an item so named if:

          1. in the exercise of reasonable judgment Engineer determines that the proposed item:

            1. is at least equal in materials of construction, quality, durability, appearance, strength, and design characteristics;

            2. will reliably perform at least equally well the function and achieve the results imposed by the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole;

            3. has a proven record of performance and availability of responsive service; and

            4. is not objectionable to Owner.

          2. Contractor certifies that, if the proposed item is approved and incorporated into the Work:

            1. there will be no increase in cost to the Owner or increase in Contract Times; and

            2. the item will conform substantially to the detailed requirements of the item named in the Contract Documents.

      2. Contractor’s Expense: Contractor shall provide all data in support of any proposed “or equal” item at Contractor’s expense.

      3. Engineer’s Evaluation and Determination: Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to evaluate each “or-equal” request. Engineer may require Contractor to furnish additional data about the proposed “or-equal” item. Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No “or-equal” item will be ordered, furnished, installed, or utilized until Engineer’s review is complete and Engineer determines that the proposed item is an “or-equal,” which will be evidenced by an approved Shop Drawing or other written communication. Engineer will advise Contractor in writing of any negative determination.

      4. Effect of Engineer’s Determination: Neither approval nor denial of an “or-equal” request will result in any change in Contract Price. The Engineer’s denial of an “or-equal” request will be final and binding, and may not be reversed through an appeal under any provision of the Contract.

      5. Treatment as a Substitution Request: If Engineer determines that an item of equipment or material proposed by Contractor does not qualify as an “or-equal” item, Contractor may request that Engineer consider the item a proposed substitute pursuant to Paragraph 7.06.

    6. Substitutes

      1. Contractor’s Request; Governing Criteria: Unless the specification or description of an item of equipment or material required to be furnished under the Contract Documents contains or is followed by words reading that no substitution is permitted, Contractor may request that Engineer authorize the use of other items of equipment or material under the circumstances described below. To the extent possible such requests must be made before commencement of related construction at the Site.

        1. Contractor shall submit sufficient information as provided below to allow Engineer to determine if the item of material or equipment proposed is functionally equivalent to that named and an acceptable substitute therefor. Engineer will not accept requests for review of proposed substitute items of equipment or material from anyone other than Contractor.

        2. The requirements for review by Engineer will be as set forth in Paragraph 7.06.B, as supplemented by the Specifications, and as Engineer may decide is appropriate under the circumstances.

        3. Contractor shall make written application to Engineer for review of a proposed substitute item of equipment or material that Contractor seeks to furnish or use. The application:

          1. will certify that the proposed substitute item will:

            1. perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the general design;

            2. be similar in substance to the item specified; and

            3. be suited to the same use as the item specified.

          2. will state:

            1. the extent, if any, to which the use of the proposed substitute item will necessitate a change in Contract Times;

            2. whether use of the proposed substitute item in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner for other work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute item; and

            3. whether incorporation or use of the proposed substitute item in connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty.

          3. will identify:

            1. all variations of the proposed substitute item from the item specified; and

            2. available engineering, sales, maintenance, repair, and replacement services.

          4. will contain an itemized estimate of all costs or credits that will result directly or indirectly from use of such substitute item, including but not limited to changes in Contract Price, shared savings, costs of redesign, and claims of other contractors affected by any resulting change.

      2. Engineer’s Evaluation and Determination: Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to evaluate each substitute request, and to obtain comments and direction from Owner. Engineer may require Contractor to furnish additional data about the proposed substitute item. Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No substitute will be ordered, furnished, installed, or utilized until Engineer’s review is complete and Engineer determines that the proposed item is an acceptable substitute. Engineer’s determination will be evidenced by a Field Order or a proposed Change Order accounting for the substitution itself and all related impacts, including changes in Contract Price or Contract Times. Engineer will advise Contractor in writing of any negative determination.

      3. Special Guarantee: Owner may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor’s expense a special

        performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute.

      4. Reimbursement of Engineer’s Cost: Engineer will record Engineer’s costs in evaluating a substitute proposed or submitted by Contractor. Whether or not Engineer approves a substitute so proposed or submitted by Contractor, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for the reasonable charges of Engineer for evaluating each such proposed substitute. Contractor shall also reimburse Owner for the reasonable charges of Engineer for making changes in the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner) resulting from the acceptance of each proposed substitute.

      5. Contractor’s Expense: Contractor shall provide all data in support of any proposed substitute

        at Contractor’s expense.

      6. Effect of Engineer’s Determination: If Engineer approves the substitution request, Contractor shall execute the proposed Change Order and proceed with the substitution. The Engineer’s denial of a substitution request will be final and binding, and may not be reversed through an appeal under any provision of the Contract. Contractor may challenge the scope of

        reimbursement costs imposed under Paragraph 7.06.D, by timely submittal of a Change Proposal.

    7. Concerning Subcontractors and Suppliers

      1. Contractor may retain Subcontractors and Suppliers for the performance of parts of the Work. Such Subcontractors and Suppliers must be acceptable to Owner. The Contractor’s retention of a Subcontractor or Supplier for the performance of parts of the Work will not relieve Contractor’s obligation to Owner to perform and complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

      2. Contractor shall retain specific Subcontractors and Suppliers for the performance of designated parts of the Work if required by the Contract to do so.

      3. Subsequent to the submittal of Contractor’s Bid or final negotiation of the terms of the Contract, Owner may not require Contractor to retain any Subcontractor or Supplier to furnish or perform any of the Work against which Contractor has reasonable objection.

      4. Prior to entry into any binding subcontract or purchase order, Contractor shall submit to Owner the identity of the proposed Subcontractor or Supplier (unless Owner has already deemed such proposed Subcontractor or Supplier acceptable during the bidding process or otherwise). Such proposed Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed acceptable to Owner unless Owner raises a substantive, reasonable objection within 5 days.

      5. Owner may require the replacement of any Subcontractor or Supplier. Owner also may require Contractor to retain specific replacements; provided, however, that Owner may not require a replacement to which Contractor has a reasonable objection. If Contractor has submitted the identity of certain Subcontractors or Suppliers for acceptance by Owner, and Owner has accepted it (either in writing or by failing to make written objection thereto), then Owner may subsequently revoke the acceptance of any such Subcontractor or Supplier so identified solely on the basis of substantive, reasonable objection after due investigation. Contractor shall submit an acceptable replacement for the rejected Subcontractor or Supplier.

      6. If Owner requires the replacement of any Subcontractor or Supplier retained by Contractor to perform any part of the Work, then Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times, with respect to the replacement; and Contractor shall initiate a Change Proposal for such adjustment within 30 days of Owner’s requirement of replacement.

      7. No acceptance by Owner of any such Subcontractor or Supplier, whether initially or as a replacement, will constitute a waiver of the right of Owner to the completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

      8. On a monthly basis, Contractor shall submit to Engineer a complete list of all Subcontractors and Suppliers having a direct contract with Contractor, and of all other Subcontractors and Suppliers known to Contractor at the time of submittal.

      9. Contractor shall be solely responsible for scheduling and coordinating the work of Subcontractors and Suppliers.

        control Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or Suppliers, or in delineating the Work to be performed by any specific trade.

        1. All Work performed for Contractor by a Subcontractor or Supplier must be pursuant to an appropriate contractual agreement that specifically binds the Subcontractor or Supplier to the applicable terms and conditions of the Contract for the benefit of Owner and Engineer.

        2. Owner may furnish to any Subcontractor or Supplier, to the extent practicable, information about amounts paid to Contractor for Work performed for Contractor by the Subcontractor or Supplier.

        3. Contractor shall restrict all Subcontractors and Suppliers from communicating with Engineer or Owner, except through Contractor or in case of an emergency, or as otherwise expressly allowed in this Contract.

        1.   Contractor may retain qualified, licensed, or certified, as required by Laws and Regulations, Subcontractors and Suppliers for the performance of parts of the Work. Such Subcontractors and Suppliers must be acceptable to Owner.

        2.   Contractor will retain specific Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals or entities for the performance of designated parts of the Work if required by the Contract to do so.

        3.   Subsequent to the submittal of Contractor’s Bid or final negotiation of the terms of the Contract, Owner may not require Contractor to retain any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity to furnish or perform any of the Work against which Contractor has reasonable objection.

        4.   The Contractor must not employ or contract with any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other person or organization, (including those who are to furnish principal items of materials or equipment), whether initially or as a substitute, who is not qualified, licensed, or certified as required by Laws and Regulations, against whom the Owner may have reasonable objection and require replacement.

        5.   No acceptance by Owner of any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, whether initially or as a replacement, will constitute a waiver of the right of Owner to the completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

        6.   On a monthly basis Contractor must submit to Engineer a complete list of all Subcontractors and Suppliers having a direct contract with Contractor, and of all other Subcontractors and Suppliers known to Contractor at the time of submittal.

        7.   Contractor is fully responsible to Owner and Engineer for all acts and omissions of the Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities performing or furnishing any of the Work just as Contractor is responsible for Contractor’s own acts and omissions.

        8.   Contractor is solely responsible for scheduling and coordinating the work of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and all other individuals or entities performing or furnishing any of the Work.

        9.    Contractor shall restrict all Subcontractors, Suppliers, and such other individuals or entities performing or furnishing any of the Work from communicating with Engineer or Owner, except through Contractor or in case of an emergency, or as otherwise expressly allowed herein.

      1. Contractor shall pay all license fees and royalties and assume all costs incident to the use in the performance of the Work or the incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product, or device which is the subject of patent rights or copyrights held by others. If an invention, design, process, product, or device is specified in the Contract Documents for use in the performance of the Work and if, to the actual knowledge of Owner or Engineer, its use is subject to patent rights or copyrights calling for the payment of any license fee or royalty to others, the existence of such rights will be disclosed in the Contract Documents.

      2. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless Contractor, and its officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, consultants, and subcontractors, from and against all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals, and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to any infringement of patent rights or copyrights incident to the use in the performance of the Work or resulting from the incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product, or device specified in the Contract Documents, but not identified as being subject to payment of any license fee or royalty to others required by patent rights or copyrights.

      3.   Contractor shall pay charges of utility owners’ temporary and permanent hook up and meter installations for connections to the Work, and Owner will pay charges of such utility owners for capital costs related thereto such as plant investment fees.

    1. Taxes

      A. Contractor shall pay all sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes required to be paid by Contractor in accordance with the Laws and Regulations of the place of the Project which are applicable during the performance of the Work.

      Chapter 212 of the Florida Statues and Rule 12A-1.094 of the Florida Administrative Code, provide the Owner with sales tax exemption for all procurements made directly by the Owner. After a Notice of Contract Award has been issued, certain items under this Contract may be purchased directly by the Owner in order to benefit from this tax savings program. Steps to be followed are:

      Within five (5) working days of Award, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Engineer an itemized list of all items, materials, supplies, and/or equipment that individually or collectively cost $10,000 or more that will be ordered from one supplier and incorporated into this project.

      Within five (5) working days following the receipt of the proposed purchasing list, the Engineer will notify the Contractor of the Owner’s decision as to which items will be purchased by the Owner.

      The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Engineer tax savings purchase order(s) excluding tax in the Owner’s name and Contract Change Order removing purchase order items including tax from the Contract Price.

      Upon approval by the Owner, the Owner will concurrently issue a tax savings purchase order(s) and Contract Change Order removing purchase order items from the Contract Price. The Contractor shall endorse the purchase order(s).

      After obtaining all the signatures, the Owner shall distribute the original purchase order to the Vendor or Supplier with copies to the Contractor.  Vendors and Suppliers shall make deliveries as directed by Owner.

      All Vendor and/or Supplier invoices must be billed to: Manatee County Port Authority

      C/O “Contractor Name” 300 Tampa Bay Way Palmetto, FL 34221

      Upon receipt of an invoice for items and documentation that items have been delivered to the site and accepted by the Contractor, the Contractor will write on the face of the invoice that it is “okay for payment”, sign, and date the invoice. The invoice is then sent to the Owner for final authorization of payment.  All invoices must include quantity and unit price as stipulated by Owner for release of payment.

      Upon receipt of the properly approved invoice, the Owner shall pay the Vendor amount due as defined by the Tax Savings Purchase Order but without any Florida State and Local Sales Tax.

      Where the Contractor has special terms with a Vendor to receive a discount if paid within a 30-day time frame and the invoices are received by the Owner early within that time frame, invoices will be processed with the discount being taken.  The Contractor will be advised by mail when an invoice is forwarded to the Owner for payment and the amount to be paid, showing discounts, if any.

      The Contractor responsibilities for Owner direct procurement items are the same as if the Contractor  negotiated  the  purchases  with  respect  to  delivery,  care,  installation,  and warranties of workmanship and materials.

      After the final purchase is made and the total cost is known, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Engineer a clean-up change order proposal adjusting the Contract Price based on the actual total purchase price plus tax.


    2. Laws and Regulations

      1. Contractor shall give all notices required by and shall comply with all Laws and Regulations applicable to the performance of the Work. Neither Owner nor Engineer shall be responsible for monitoring Contractor’s compliance with any Laws or Regulations.

        1.   Contractor shall give all notices required by and shall comply with all Laws and Regulations applicable to the performance of the Work.  Except where otherwise expressly required by applicable  Laws  and  Regulations,  neither  Owner  nor  Engineer  will  be  responsible  for monitoring Contractor’s compliance with any Laws or Regulations

        2. If Contractor performs any Work or takes any other action knowing or having reason to know that it is contrary to Laws or Regulations, Contractor shall bear all resulting costs and losses, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner and Engineer, and the officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, consultants, and subcontractors of each and any of them, from and against all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such Work or other action. It is not Contractor’s responsibility to make certain that the Work described in the Contract Documents is in accordance with Laws and Regulations, but this does not relieve Contractor of its obligations under Paragraph 3.03.

        3. Owner or Contractor may give written notice to the other party of any changes after the submission of Contractor’s Bid (or after the date when Contractor became bound under a negotiated contract) in Laws or Regulations having an effect on the cost or time of performance of the Work, including but not limited to changes in Laws or Regulations having an effect on procuring permits and on sales, use, value-added, consumption, and other similar taxes. If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree on entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of any adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times resulting from such changes, then within 30 days of such written notice Contractor may submit a Change Proposal, or Owner may initiate a Claim.

    3. Record Documents

      1. Contractor shall maintain in a safe place at the Site one printed record copy of all Drawings, Specifications, Addenda, Change Orders, Work Change Directives, Field Orders, written interpretations and clarifications, and approved Shop Drawings. Contractor shall keep such record documents in good order and annotate them to show changes made during construction. These record documents, together with all approved Samples, will be available to Engineer for reference. Upon completion of the Work, Contractor shall deliver these record documents to Engineer.

    4. Safety and Protection

      1. Contractor shall be solely responsible for initiating, maintaining, and supervising all safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work. Such responsibility does not relieve Subcontractors of their responsibility for the safety of persons or property in the performance of their work, nor for compliance with applicable safety Laws and Regulations.

      2. Contractor shall designate a qualified and experienced safety representative whose duties and responsibilities are the prevention of Work-related accidents and the maintenance and supervision of safety precautions and programs.

        1.   Contractor shall designate a qualified and experienced safety representative at the Site whose duties and responsibilities will be the prevention of accidents and the maintaining and supervising of safety precautions and programs.

        2. Contractor shall take all necessary precautions for the safety of, and shall provide the necessary protection to prevent damage, injury, or loss to:

          1. all persons on the Site or who may be affected by the Work;

          2. all the Work and materials and equipment to be incorporated therein, whether in storage on or off the Site; and

          3. other property at the Site or adjacent thereto, including trees, shrubs, lawns, walks, pavements, roadways, structures, other work in progress, utilities, and Underground Facilities not designated for removal, relocation, or replacement in the course of construction.

The Contractor’s and manufacturer’s obligations under this provision are in additional to other express or implied warranties under the Contract Documents and under the law and in no way diminish any other right that the Owner may have against Contractor or manufacturer for faulty material, equipment, or work.  The warranty period will not be interpreted as a limitation on the time in which the Owner can enforce such other duties, obligations, rights, or remedies.

        2.

        Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or any individual or entity directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform any of the Work, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.

      2.

Contractor’s entitlement to an adjustment of the Contract Times is conditioned on such adjustment being essential to Contractor’s ability to complete the Work within the Contract Times.

        2. Contractor shall take reasonable and customary measures to avoid damaging, delaying, disrupting, or interfering with the work of Owner, any other contractor, or any utility owner performing other work at or adjacent to the Site.

          1.

          2. When Owner is performing other work at or adjacent to the Site with Owner’s employees, Contractor shall be liable to Owner for damage to such other work, and for the reasonable direct delay, disruption, and interference costs incurred by Owner as a result of Contractor’s failure to take reasonable and customary measures with respect to Owner’s other work. In response to such damage, delay, disruption, or interference, Owner may impose a set-off against payments due Contractor.

        3.

    3. Work Change Directives

      1. A Work Change Directive will not change the Contract Price or the Contract Times but is evidence that the parties expect that the modification ordered or documented by a Work Change Directive will be incorporated in a subsequently issued Change Order, following negotiations by the parties as to the Work Change Directive’s effect, if any, on the Contract Price and Contract Times; or, if negotiations are unsuccessful, by a determination under the

        terms of the Contract Documents governing adjustments, expressly including Paragraph 11.07 regarding change of Contract Price.

        1.   A Work Change Directive will not change the Contract Price or the Contract Times but is evidence that the parties expect that the modification ordered or documented by a Work Change Directive will be incorporated in a subsequently issued Change Order, following negotiations by the parties as to the Work Change Directive’s effect, if any, on the Contract Price and Contract Times; or, if negotiations are unsuccessful, by a determination under the terms of the Contract Documents governing adjustments, expressly including Paragraph

      2. An adjustment in the Contract Price will be determined as follows:

        1. Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, then by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13.03);

        2. Where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, then by a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with Paragraph 11.07.C.2); or

        3. Where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and the parties do not reach mutual agreement to a lump sum, then on the basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 13.01) plus a Contractor’s fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.07.C).

        4.   Change Orders require approval as an agenda item of the Manatee County Port Authority – Board of Commissioners.  The Board meets on a monthly basis and change proposals are needed 3 weeks in advance of meetings and changes in Contract Price and Contract Times must account for meeting scheduling accordingly.

        5.   An adjustment of the Contract Price will be subject to the limitations set forth in

          Paragraph 4.05, concerning delays in Contractor’s progress.

      3. Contractor’s Fee: When applicable, the Contractor’s fee for overhead and profit will be

        determined as follows:

        1. A mutually acceptable fixed fee; or

        2. If a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee based on the following percentages of the various portions of the Cost of the Work:

          1. For costs incurred under Paragraphs 13.01.B.1 and 13.01.B.2, the Contractor’s fee will

            be 15 percent;

          2. For costs incurred under Paragraph 13.01.B.3, the Contractor’s fee will be 5 percent;

          3. Where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraphs 11.07.C.2.a and 11.07.C.2.b is that the Contractor’s fee will be based on: (1) a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred under Paragraphs 13.01.B.1 and 13.01.B.2 by the Subcontractor that actually performs the Work, at whatever tier, and (2) with respect to Contractor itself and to any Subcontractors of a tier higher than that of the Subcontractor that actually performs the Work, a fee of 5 percent of the amount (fee plus underlying costs incurred) attributable to the next lower tier Subcontractor; provided, however, that for any such subcontracted Work the maximum total fee to be paid by Owner will be no greater than 27 percent of the costs incurred by the Subcontractor that actually performs the Work;

          4. No fee will be payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraphs 13.01.B.4, 13.01.B.5, and 13.01.C;

          5. The amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to Owner for any change which results in a net decrease in Cost of the Work will be the amount of the actual net decrease in Cost of the Work and a deduction of an additional amount equal to 5 percent of such actual net decrease in Cost of the Work; and

          6. When both additions and credits are involved in any one change or Change Proposal, the adjustment in Contractor’s fee will be computed by determining the sum of the costs in each of the cost categories in Paragraph 13.01.B (specifically, payroll costs, Paragraph 13.01.B.1; incorporated materials and equipment costs, Paragraph 13.01.B.2; Subcontract costs, Paragraph 13.01.B.3; special consultants costs, Paragraph 13.01.B.4; and other costs, Paragraph 13.01.B.5) and applying to each such cost category sum the appropriate fee from Paragraphs 11.07.C.2.a through 11.07.C.2.e, inclusive.

    8. Change of Contract Times

      1. The Contract Times may only be changed by a Change Order. Any Change Proposal for an adjustment in the Contract Times must comply with the provisions of Paragraph 11.09. Any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Times must comply with the provisions of Article 12.

The Change Proposal will specify any proposed change in Contract Times or Contract Price, or other proposed relief, and explain the reason for the proposed change, with citations to any governing or applicable provisions of the Contract Documents. Each Change Proposal will address only one issue, or a set of closely related issues.

      2. Change Proposal Procedures

        1. Submittal: Contractor shall submit each Change Proposal to Engineer within 30 days after the start of the event giving rise thereto, or after such initial decision.

          1. Submittal. Contractor shall submit each Change Proposal to Engineer promptly (but in no event later than 30 days) after the start of the event giving rise thereto, or after such initial decision.

          2. Supporting Data: The Contractor shall submit supporting data, including the proposed change in Contract Price or Contract Time (if any), to the Engineer and Owner within 15 days after the submittal of the Change Proposal.

            1. Change Proposals based on or related to delay, interruption, or interference must comply with the provisions of Paragraphs 4.05.D and 4.05.E.

            2. Change proposals related to a change of Contract Price must include full and detailed accounts of materials incorporated into the Work and labor and equipment used for the subject Work.

              The supporting data must be accompanied by a written statement that the supporting data are accurate and complete, and that any requested time or price adjustment is the entire adjustment to which Contractor believes it is entitled as a result of said event.

          3. Engineer’s Initial Review: Engineer will advise Owner regarding the Change Proposal, and consider any comments or response from Owner regarding the Change Proposal. If in its discretion Engineer concludes that additional supporting data is needed before conducting a full review and making a decision regarding the Change Proposal, then Engineer may request that Contractor submit such additional supporting data by a date specified by Engineer, prior to Engineer beginning its full review of the Change Proposal.

          1.   Engineer’s Initial Review. Engineer will advise Owner regarding the Change Proposal, and consider any comments or response from Owner regarding the Change Proposal. If in its discretion Engineer concludes that additional supporting data is needed before conducting a full review and making a decision regarding the Change Proposal, then Engineer may request that Contractor submit such additional supporting data by a date specified by Engineer, prior to Engineer beginning its full review of the Change Proposal. Failure of the Contractor to provide a Change Proposal or supporting documentation within the stated time periods will result in a waiver of the Contractor claim to a Change Order based on the Change Proposal.

          2. Engineer’s Full Review and Action on the Change Proposal: Upon receipt of Contractor’s supporting data (including any additional data requested by Engineer), Engineer will conduct a full review of each Change Proposal and, within 30 days after such receipt of the Contractor’s supporting data, either approve the Change Proposal in whole, deny it in whole, or approve it in part and deny it in part. Such actions must be in writing, with a copy provided to Owner and Contractor. If Engineer does not take action on the Change Proposal within 30 days, then either Owner or Contractor may at any time thereafter submit a letter to the other party indicating that as a result of Engineer’s inaction the Change Proposal is deemed denied, thereby commencing the time for appeal of the denial under Article 12.

          1.   Engineer’s Review and Action on Change Proposal: Engineer will review each Change Proposal and, within 10 days after receipt of the Contractor’s supporting data, take one of the following actions:

            1.   Determine whether or not a Change Order is appropriate based on the Change Proposal; or

            2.   Notify the Parties that the Engineer is unable to determine whether or not a Change Order  is  appropriate  based  on the  Change  Proposal  if,  in  the  Engineer’s  sole discretion, it would be inappropriate for the Engineer to do so. For the purposes of the resolution of the Change Proposal, such notice will be deemed as a determination that a Change Order is not appropriate based on the Change Proposal.

              If the Engineer determines a Change Order is appropriate, then the Engineer shall approve the Change Proposal, in whole or in part, and recommend a Change Order.  If Engineer does not take action on the Change Proposal within 30 days, then either Owner or Contractor may at any time thereafter submit a letter to the other party indicating that as a result of Engineer’s inaction the Change Proposal is deemed denied, thereby commencing the time for appeal of the denial under Article 12. No action, taken or not, by the Engineer should be construed as an acknowledgement or acceptance of the accuracy or validity of any Contractor’s claim until a signed and executed Change Order is issued.

          2. Binding Decision: Engineer’s decision is final and binding upon Owner and Contractor,

          unless Owner or Contractor appeals the decision by filing a Claim under Article 12.

      3. Resolution of Certain Change Proposals: If the Change Proposal does not involve the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), the acceptability of the Work, or other engineering or technical matters, then Engineer will notify the parties in writing that the Engineer is unable to resolve the Change Proposal. For purposes of further resolution of such a Change Proposal, such notice will be deemed a denial, and Contractor may choose to seek resolution under the terms of Article 12.

      4. Post-Completion: Contractor shall not submit any Change Proposals after Engineer issues a written recommendation of final payment pursuant to Paragraph 15.06.B.

11.10 Notification to Surety

  1. If the provisions of any bond require notice to be given to a surety of any change affecting the general scope of the Work or the provisions of the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, Contract Price or Contract Times), the giving of any such notice will be Contractor’s responsibility. The amount of each applicable bond will be adjusted to reflect the effect of any such change.

    ARTICLE 12—CLAIMS

      1. Claims

        1. Claims Process: The following disputes between Owner and Contractor are subject to the Claims process set forth in this article:

          1. Appeals by Owner or Contractor of Engineer’s decisions regarding Change Proposals;

          2. Owner demands for adjustments in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or other relief under the Contract Documents;

          3. Disputes that Engineer has been unable to address because they do not involve the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), the acceptability of the Work, or other engineering or technical matters; and

          4. Subject to the waiver provisions of Paragraph 15.07, any dispute arising after Engineer has issued a written recommendation of final payment pursuant to Paragraph 15.06.B.

            4.  Not Used.

        2. Submittal of Claim: The party submitting a Claim shall deliver it directly to the other party to the Contract promptly (but in no event later than 30 days) after the start of the event giving rise thereto; in the case of appeals regarding Change Proposals within 30 days of the decision under appeal. The party submitting the Claim shall also furnish a copy to the Engineer, for its information only. The responsibility to substantiate a Claim rests with the party making the Claim. In the case of a Claim by Contractor seeking an increase in the Contract Times or Contract Price, Contractor shall certify that the Claim is made in good faith, that the supporting data are accurate and complete, and that to the best of Contractor’s knowledge and belief the amount of time or money requested accurately reflects the full amount to which Contractor is entitled.

        3. Review and Resolution: The party receiving a Claim shall review it thoroughly, giving full consideration to its merits. The two parties shall seek to resolve the Claim through the exchange of information and direct negotiations. The parties may extend the time for resolving the Claim by mutual agreement. All actions taken on a Claim will be stated in writing and submitted to the other party, with a copy to Engineer.

        4. Mediation

          1. At any time after initiation of a Claim, Owner and Contractor may mutually agree to mediation of the underlying dispute. The agreement to mediate will stay the Claim submittal and response process.

          2. If Owner and Contractor agree to mediation, then after 60 days from such agreement, either Owner or Contractor may unilaterally terminate the mediation process, and the Claim submittal and decision process will resume as of the date of the termination. If the mediation proceeds but is unsuccessful in resolving the dispute, the Claim submittal and decision process will resume as of the date of the conclusion of the mediation, as determined by the mediator.

            1.   At any time after initiation of a Claim, either Owner or Contractor may request non-binding mediation of the underlying dispute. The party requesting mediation will submit the mediation request in writing to the other party to the Contract.  The mediation process will begin upon request of a written mediation request.  The Owner and Contractor will select a mutually agreed upon mediator to conduct the non-binding mediation. The agreement to mediate will stay the Claim submittal and response process.

            2.   Owner and Contractor will participate in the mediation process in good faith.  Unless extended by the mutual written agreement of the parties, the process will be concluded within sixty (60) calendar days of the filing of the request.

            3. Owner and Contractor shall each pay one-half of the mediator’s fees and costs.

        5. Partial Approval: If the party receiving a Claim approves the Claim in part and denies it in part, such action will be final and binding unless within 30 days of such action the other party invokes the procedure set forth in Article 17 for final resolution of disputes.

        6. Denial of Claim: If efforts to resolve a Claim are not successful, the party receiving the Claim may deny it by giving written notice of denial to the other party. If the receiving party does not take action on the Claim within 90 days, then either Owner or Contractor may at any time thereafter submit a letter to the other party indicating that as a result of the inaction, the Claim is deemed denied, thereby commencing the time for appeal of the denial. A denial of the Claim will be final and binding unless within 30 days of the denial the other party invokes the procedure set forth in Article 17 for the final resolution of disputes.

        7. Final and Binding Results: If the parties reach a mutual agreement regarding a Claim, whether through approval of the Claim, direct negotiations, mediation, or otherwise; or if a Claim is approved in part and denied in part, or denied in full, and such actions become final and binding; then the results of the agreement or action on the Claim will be incorporated in a Change Order or other written document to the extent they affect the Contract, including the Work, the Contract Times, or the Contract Price.

    1.   Final and Binding Results: If the parties reach a mutual agreement regarding a Claim, whether through approval of the Claim, direct negotiations, mediation, or otherwise; or if a Claim is approved in part and denied in part, or denied in full, and such actions become final and binding; then the results of the agreement or action on the Claim will be incorporated in a Change Order to the extent they affect the Contract, including the Work, the Contract Times, or the Contract Price.

    ARTICLE 13—COST OF THE WORK; ALLOWANCES; UNIT PRICE WORK

      1. Cost of the Work

        1. Purposes for Determination of Cost of the Work: The term Cost of the Work means the sum of all costs necessary for the proper performance of the Work at issue, as further defined below. The provisions of this Paragraph 13.01 are used for two distinct purposes:

          1. To determine Cost of the Work when Cost of the Work is a component of the Contract Price, under cost-plus-fee, time-and-materials, or other cost-based terms; or

          2. When needed to determine the value of a Change Order, Change Proposal, Claim, set-off, or other adjustment in Contract Price. When the value of any such adjustment is determined on the basis of Cost of the Work, Contractor is entitled only to those additional or incremental costs required because of the change in the Work or because of the event giving rise to the adjustment.

        2. Costs Included: Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by Owner, costs included in the Cost of the Work will be in amounts no higher than those commonly incurred in the

          locality of the Project, will not include any of the costs itemized in Paragraph 13.01.C, and will include only the following items:

          1. Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of Contractor in the performance of the Work under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by Owner and Contractor in advance of the subject Work. Such employees include, without limitation, superintendents, foremen, safety managers, safety representatives, and other personnel employed full time on the Work. Payroll costs for employees not employed full time on the Work will be apportioned on the basis of their time spent on the Work. Payroll costs include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits, which include social security contributions, unemployment, excise, and payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, health and retirement benefits, sick leave, and vacation and holiday pay applicable thereto. The expenses of performing Work outside of regular working hours, on Saturday, Sunday, or legal holidays, will be included in the above to the extent authorized by Owner.

  2.   Costs Included: Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by Owner, costs included in the Cost of the Work will be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, will not include any of the costs itemized in Paragraph 13.01.C, and will include only the following items:

    1.   Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of Contractor in the performance of the Work under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by Owner and Contractor. Such employees will include, without limitation, superintendents, foremen, and other personnel employed full time on the Work. Payroll costs for employees not employed full time on the Work will be apportioned on the basis of their time spent on the Work. Payroll costs will include, but are not be limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits, which will include social security contributions, unemployment, excise, and payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, health and retirement benefits, bonuses, sick leave, and vacation and holiday pay applicable thereto. The expenses of performing Work outside of regular working hours, on Saturday, Sunday, or legal holidays, will be included in the above to the extent authorized by Owner.

    2. Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including costs of transportation and storage thereof, and Suppliers’ field services required in connection therewith. All cash discounts accrue to Contractor unless Owner deposits funds with Contractor with which to make payments, in which case the cash discounts will accrue to Owner. All trade discounts, rebates, and refunds and returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment will accrue to Owner, and Contractor shall make provisions so that they may be obtained.

    3. Payments made by Contractor to Subcontractors for Work performed by Subcontractors. If required by Owner, Contractor shall obtain competitive bids from subcontractors acceptable to Owner and Contractor and shall deliver such bids to Owner, which will then determine, with the advice of Engineer, which bids, if any, will be acceptable. If any subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee, the Subcontractor’s Cost of the Work and fee will be determined in the same manner as Contractor’s Cost of the Work and fee as provided in this Paragraph 13.01.

    4. Costs of special consultants (including but not limited to engineers, architects, testing laboratories, surveyors, attorneys, and accountants) employed or retained for services specifically related to the Work.

    5. Other costs consisting of the following:

      1. The proportion of necessary transportation, travel, and subsistence expenses of

        Contractor’s employees incurred in discharge of duties connected with the Work.

      2. Cost, including transportation and maintenance, of all materials, supplies, equipment, machinery, appliances, office, and temporary facilities at the Site, which are consumed in the performance of the Work, and cost, less market value, of such items used but not consumed which remain the property of Contractor.

        1. In establishing included costs for materials such as scaffolding, plating, or sheeting, consideration will be given to the actual or the estimated life of the material for use on other projects; or rental rates may be established on the basis of purchase or salvage value of such items, whichever is less. Contractor will not be eligible for compensation for such items in an amount that exceeds the purchase cost of such item.

      3. Construction Equipment Rental

        1. Rentals of all construction equipment and machinery, and the parts thereof, in accordance with rental agreements approved by Owner as to price (including any surcharge or special rates applicable to overtime use of the construction equipment or machinery), and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading, assembly, dismantling, and removal thereof. All such costs will be in accordance with the terms of said rental agreements. The rental of any such equipment, machinery, or parts must cease when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the Work.

        2. Costs for equipment and machinery owned by Contractor or a Contractor-related entity will be paid at a rate shown for such equipment in the equipment rental rate book specified in the Supplementary Conditions. An hourly rate will be computed by dividing the monthly rates by 176. These computed rates will include all operating costs.

        3. With respect to Work that is the result of a Change Order, Change Proposal, Claim, set-off, or other adjustment in Contract Price (“changed Work”), included costs will be based on the time the equipment or machinery is in use on the changed Work and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading, assembly, dismantling, and removal when directly attributable to the changed Work. The cost of any such equipment or machinery, or parts thereof, must cease to accrue when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the changed Work.

  1.   ​ Construction Equipment Rental

    1.   Rentals of all construction equipment and machinery, and the parts thereof, in accordance with rental agreements approved by Owner as to price (including any surcharge or special rates applicable to overtime use of the construction equipment or machinery), and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading,

      assembly, dismantling, and removal thereof. All such costs will be in accordance with the terms of said rental agreements. The rental of any such equipment, machinery, or parts must cease when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the Work.

    2.   Costs for equipment and machinery owned by Contractor or a Contractor-related entity will be paid at a rate shown for such equipment in the equipment rental rate book specified in the Supplementary Conditions. An hourly rate will be computed by dividing the monthly rates by 176. These computed rates will include all operating costs. The equipment rental rate book that governs the included costs for the rental of machinery and equipment owned by Contractor (or a related entity) under the Cost of Work provisions of this Contract is the most current edition of Kelley Blue Book.

    3.   With respect to Work that is the result of a Change Order, Change Proposal, Claim, set-off, or other adjustment in Contract Price (“changed Work”), included costs will be based on the time the equipment or machinery is in use on the changed Work and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading, assembly, dismantling, and removal when directly attributable to the changed Work. The cost of any such equipment or machinery, or parts thereof, must cease to accrue when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the changed Work.

  2. Sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes related to the Work, and for which Contractor is liable, as imposed by Laws and Regulations.

  3. Deposits lost for causes other than negligence of Contractor, any Subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, and royalty payments and fees for permits and licenses.

  4. Losses and damages (and related expenses) caused by damage to the Work, not compensated by insurance or otherwise, sustained by Contractor in connection with the performance of the Work (except losses and damages within the deductible amounts of builder’s risk or other property insurance established in accordance with Paragraph 6.04), provided such losses and damages have resulted from causes other than the negligence of Contractor, any Subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable. Such losses include settlements made with the written consent and approval of Owner. No such losses, damages, and expenses will be included in the Cost of the Work for the purpose of determining Contractor’s fee.

  5. The cost of utilities, fuel, and sanitary facilities at the Site.

  6. Minor expenses such as communication service at the Site, express and courier services, and similar petty cash items in connection with the Work.

  7. The costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance that Contractor is required by the Contract Documents to purchase and maintain.

        1. Payroll costs and other compensation of Contractor’s officers, executives, principals,

          general managers, engineers, architects, estimators, attorneys, auditors, accountants,

          purchasing and contracting agents, expediters, timekeepers, clerks, and other personnel employed by Contractor, whether at the Site or in Contractor’s principal or branch office for general administration of the Work and not specifically included in the agreed upon schedule of job classifications referred to in Paragraph 13.01.B.1 or specifically covered by Paragraph 13.01.B.4. The payroll costs and other compensation excluded here are to be considered administrative costs covered by the Contractor’s fee.

          1.   Payroll costs and other compensation of Contractor’s officers, executives, principals (of partnerships and sole proprietorships), general managers, safety managers, engineers, architects, estimators, attorneys, auditors, accountants, purchasing and contracting agents, expediters, timekeepers, clerks, and other personnel employed by Contractor, whether at the Site or in Contractor’s principal or branch office for general administration of the Work and not specifically included in the agreed upon schedule of job classifications referred to in Paragraph 13.01.B.1 or specifically covered by Paragraph 13.01.B.4.  The payroll costs and other compensation excluded here are to be considered administrative costs covered by the Contractor’s fee.

          2. The cost of purchasing, renting, or furnishing small tools and hand tools.

          3. Expenses of Contractor’s principal and branch offices other than Contractor’s office at the

            Site.

          4. Any part of Contractor’s capital expenses, including interest on Contractor’s capital

            employed for the Work and charges against Contractor for delinquent payments.

          5.

          6. Expenses incurred in preparing and advancing Claims.

          7. Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the costs of any item not specifically and expressly included in Paragraph 13.01.B.

      2. Contractor’s Fee

        1. When the Work as a whole is performed on the basis of cost-plus-a-fee, then:

          1. Contractor’s fee for the Work set forth in the Contract Documents as of the Effective

            Date of the Contract will be determined as set forth in the Agreement.

          2. for any Work covered by a Change Order, Change Proposal, Claim, set-off, or other adjustment in Contract Price on the basis of Cost of the Work, Contractor’s fee will be determined as follows:

            1. When the fee for the Work as a whole is a percentage of the Cost of the Work, the fee will automatically adjust as the Cost of the Work changes.

            2. When the fee for the Work as a whole is a fixed fee, the fee for any additions or deletions will be determined in accordance with Paragraph 11.07.C.2.

        2. When the Work as a whole is performed on the basis of a stipulated sum, or any other basis other than cost-plus-a-fee, then Contractor’s fee for any Work covered by a Change

          Order, Change Proposal, Claim, set-off, or other adjustment in Contract Price on the basis of Cost of the Work will be determined in accordance with Paragraph 11.07.C.2.

      3. Documentation and Audit: Whenever the Cost of the Work for any purpose is to be determined pursuant to this Article 13, Contractor and pertinent Subcontractors will establish and maintain records of the costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices. Subject to prior written notice, Owner will be afforded reasonable access, during normal business hours, to all Contractor’s accounts, records, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, vouchers, memoranda, and similar data relating to the Cost of the Work and Contractor’s fee. Contractor shall preserve all such documents for a period of three years after the final payment by Owner. Pertinent Subcontractors will afford such access to Owner, and preserve such documents, to the same extent required of Contractor.

    1. Allowances

      1. It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be performed for such sums and by such persons or entities as may be acceptable to Owner and Engineer.

      2. Cash Allowances: Contractor agrees that:

        1. the cash allowances include the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes; and

        2. Contractor’s costs for unloading and handling on the Site, labor, installation, overhead, profit, and other expenses contemplated for the cash allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in the allowances, and no demand for additional payment for any of the foregoing will be valid.

      3. Owner’s Contingency Allowance: Contractor agrees that an Owner’s contingency allowance,

        if any, is for the sole use of Owner to cover unanticipated costs.

      4. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by Engineer to reflect actual amounts due Contractor for Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price will be correspondingly adjusted.

    2. Unit Price Work

      1. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement.

      2. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Payments to Contractor for Unit Price Work will be based on actual quantities.

      3. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate

        to cover Contractor’s overhead and profit for each separately identified item.

      4. Engineer will determine the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed

        by Contractor. Engineer will review with Contractor the Engineer’s preliminary

        determinations on such matters before rendering a written decision thereon (by recommendation of an Application for Payment or otherwise). Engineer’s written decision thereon will be final and binding (except as modified by Engineer to reflect changed factual conditions or more accurate data) upon Owner and Contractor, and the final adjustment of Contract Price will be set forth in a Change Order, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph.

      5. Adjustments in Unit Price

        1. Contractor or Owner shall be entitled to an adjustment in the unit price with respect to an item of Unit Price Work if:

          1. the quantity of the item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement; and

          2. Contractor’s unit costs to perform the item of Unit Price Work have changed

            materially and significantly as a result of the quantity change.

        2. The adjustment in unit price will account for and be coordinated with any related changes in quantities of other items of Work, and in Contractor’s costs to perform such other Work, such that the resulting overall change in Contract Price is equitable to Owner and Contractor.

        3. Adjusted unit prices will apply to all units of that item.

ARTICLE 14—TESTS AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL, OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK

    1. Access to Work

      1. Owner, Engineer, their consultants and other representatives and personnel of Owner, independent testing laboratories, and authorities having jurisdiction have access to the Site and the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspection, and testing. Contractor shall provide them proper and safe conditions for such access and advise them of Contractor’s safety procedures and programs so that they may comply with such procedures and programs as applicable.

    2. Tests, Inspections, and Approvals

      1. Contractor shall give Engineer timely notice of readiness of the Work (or specific parts thereof) for all required inspections and tests, and shall cooperate with inspection and testing personnel to facilitate required inspections and tests.

      2. Owner shall retain and pay for the services of an independent inspector, testing laboratory, or other qualified individual or entity to perform all inspections and tests expressly required by the Contract Documents to be furnished and paid for by Owner, except that costs incurred in connection with tests or inspections of covered Work will be governed by the provisions of Paragraph 14.05.

      3. If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof) specifically to be inspected, tested, or approved by an employee or other representative of such public body, Contractor shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such

        inspections, tests, or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish Engineer the required certificates of inspection or approval.

      4. Contractor shall be responsible for arranging, obtaining, and paying for all inspections and tests required:

        1. by the Contract Documents, unless the Contract Documents expressly allocate responsibility for a specific inspection or test to Owner;

        2. to attain Owner’s and Engineer’s acceptance of materials or equipment to be

          incorporated in the Work;

        3. by manufacturers of equipment furnished under the Contract Documents;

        4. for testing, adjusting, and balancing of mechanical, electrical, and other equipment to be incorporated into the Work; and

        5. for acceptance of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to

          Contractor’s purchase thereof for incorporation in the Work.

          Such inspections and tests will be performed by independent inspectors, testing laboratories, or other qualified individuals or entities acceptable to Owner and Engineer.

      5. If the Contract Documents require the Work (or part thereof) to be approved by Owner, Engineer, or another designated individual or entity, then Contractor shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such approvals.

      6. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered by Contractor without written concurrence of Engineer, Contractor shall, if requested by Engineer, uncover such Work for observation. Such uncovering will be at Contractor’s expense unless Contractor had given Engineer timely notice of Contractor’s intention to cover the same and Engineer had not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.

    3. Defective Work

      1. Contractor’s Obligation: It is Contractor’s obligation to assure that the Work is not defective.

      2. Engineer’s Authority: Engineer has the authority to determine whether Work is defective, and to reject defective Work.

      3. Notice of Defects: Prompt written notice of all defective Work of which Owner or Engineer has actual knowledge will be given to Contractor.

      4. Correction, or Removal and Replacement: Promptly after receipt of written notice of defective Work, Contractor shall correct all such defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed, or completed, or, if Engineer has rejected the defective Work, remove it from the Project and replace it with Work that is not defective.

      5. Preservation of Warranties: When correcting defective Work, Contractor shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair Owner’s special warranty and guarantee, if any, on said Work.

      6. Costs and Damages: In addition to its correction, removal, and replacement obligations with respect to defective Work, Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages arising out of or relating to defective Work, including but not limited to the cost of the inspection,

        testing, correction, removal, replacement, or reconstruction of such defective Work, fines levied against Owner by governmental authorities because the Work is defective, and the costs of repair or replacement of work of others resulting from defective Work. Prior to final payment, if Owner and Contractor are unable to agree as to the measure of such claims, costs, losses, and damages resulting from defective Work, then Owner may impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under Article 15.

    4. Acceptance of Defective Work

      1. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, Owner prefers to accept it, Owner may do so (subject, if such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, to Engineer’s confirmation that such acceptance is in general accord with the design intent and applicable engineering principles, and will not endanger public safety). Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages attributable to Owner’s evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by Engineer as to reasonableness), and for the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid by Contractor. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work will be incorporated in a Change Order. If the parties are unable to agree as to the decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value of Work so accepted, then Owner may impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under Article 15. If the acceptance of defective Work occurs after final payment, Contractor shall pay an appropriate amount to Owner.

    5. Uncovering Work

      1. Engineer has the authority to require additional inspection or testing of the Work, whether or not the Work is fabricated, installed, or completed.

      2. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of Engineer, then Contractor shall, if requested by Engineer, uncover such Work for Engineer’s observation, and then replace the covering, all at Contractor’s expense.

      3. If Engineer considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by Engineer or inspected or tested by others, then Contractor, at Engineer’s request, shall uncover, expose, or otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or testing as Engineer may require, that portion of the Work in question, and provide all necessary labor, material, and equipment.

        1. If it is found that the uncovered Work is defective, Contractor shall be responsible for all claims, costs, losses, and damages arising out of or relating to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, and testing, and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and pending Contractor’s full discharge of this responsibility the Owner shall be entitled to impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under Article 15.

        2. If the uncovered Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement, and reconstruction. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, then Contractor may submit a Change Proposal within 30 days of the determination that the Work is not defective.

    6. Owner May Stop the Work

      1. If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, or fails to perform the Work in such a way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents, then Owner may order Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of Owner to stop the Work will not give rise to any duty on the part of Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or entity, or any surety for, or employee or agent of any of them.

      2.   If Owner stops Work under paragraph 14.06.A, Contractor will not be entitled to an extension of Contract Time or increase in Contract Price.

    7. Owner May Correct Defective Work

      1. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from Engineer to correct defective Work, or to remove and replace defective Work as required by Engineer, then Owner may, after 7 days’ written notice to Contractor, correct or remedy any such deficiency.

  1.   If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from Engineer to correct defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by Engineer, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, then Owner may, after 7 days written notice to Contractor, correct or remedy any such deficiency.

  2. In exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07, Owner shall proceed expeditiously. In connection with such corrective or remedial action, Owner may exclude Contractor from all or part of the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and suspend Contractor’s services related thereto, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner’s representatives, agents and employees, Owner’s other contractors, and Engineer and Engineer’s consultants access to the Site to enable Owner to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph.

  3. All claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred or sustained by Owner in exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07 will be charged against Contractor as set-offs against payments due under Article 15. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of Contractor’s defective Work.

  4. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by Owner of Owner’s rights and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07.

ARTICLE 15—PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR; SET-OFFS; COMPLETION; CORRECTION PERIOD

    1. Progress Payments

      1. Basis for Progress Payments: The Schedule of Values established as provided in Article 2 will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application for Payment acceptable to Engineer. Progress payments for Unit Price Work will be based on

        the number of units completed during the pay period, as determined under the provisions of Paragraph 13.03. Progress payments for cost-based Work will be based on Cost of the Work completed by Contractor during the pay period.

      2. Applications for Payments

        1. At least 20 days before the date established in the Agreement for each progress payment (but not more often than once a month), Contractor shall submit to Engineer for review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents.

        2. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment must also be accompanied by: (a) a bill of sale, invoice, copies of subcontract or purchase order payments, or other documentation establishing full payment by Contractor for the materials and equipment; (b) at Owner’s request, documentation warranting that Owner has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens; and (c) evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance, a warehouse bond, or other arrangements to protect Owner’s interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to Owner.

        3. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application must include an affidavit of Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received by Contractor have been applied to discharge Contractor’s legitimate obligations associated with prior Applications for Payment.

          1.   If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site, the Application for Payment will also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or other documentation warranting that Owner has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens (in the form of a waiver and release as contemplated by Chapter 713 of the Florida Statutes), and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance, a warehouse bond, or other arrangements to protect Owner’s interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to Owner.

          2.   Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application will include an affidavit of Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received on account of the Work have been applied on account to discharge Contractor’s legitimate obligations associated with prior Applications for Payment.

          3. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.

          4.   Contractor will furnish evidence that payment received on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated and suitably stored on Site has in fact been paid to the respective supplier(s) in the form of a waiver and release as contemplated by Chapter 713 of the Florida Statutes within 30 days of payment by Owner.  Failure to provide such evidence of payment may result in the withdrawal of previous approval(s) and removal of

          the cost of related materials and equipment from the next submitted Application for Payment.

      3. Review of Applications

        1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of each Application for Payment, including each resubmittal, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the Application to Owner, or return the Application to Contractor indicating in writing Engineer’s reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application.

        2. Engineer’s recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer’s observations of the executed Work as an experienced and qualified design professional, and on Engineer’s review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of Engineer’s knowledge, information and belief:

          1. the Work has progressed to the point indicated;

          2. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under Paragraph 13.03, and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation); and

          3. the conditions precedent to Contractor’s being entitled to such payment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer’s responsibility to observe the Work.

        3. By recommending any such payment Engineer will not thereby be deemed to have represented that:

          1. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in the Contract; or

          2. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle Owner to withhold payment to Contractor.

        4. Neither Engineer’s review of Contractor’s Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor Engineer’s recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will impose responsibility on Engineer:

          1. to supervise, direct, or control the Work;

          2. for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto;

          3. for Contractor’s failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor’s performance of the Work;

          4. to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the money paid by Owner; or

          5. to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any Liens.

        5. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in Engineer’s opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner stated in Paragraph 15.01.C.2.

        6. Engineer will recommend reductions in payment (set-offs) necessary in Engineer’s

          opinion to protect Owner from loss because:

          1. the Work is defective, requiring correction or replacement;

          2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;

          3. Owner has been required to correct defective Work in accordance with Paragraph 14.07, or has accepted defective Work pursuant to Paragraph 14.04;

          4. Owner has been required to remove or remediate a Hazardous Environmental Condition for which Contractor is responsible; or

          5. Engineer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events that would constitute a default by Contractor and therefore justify termination for cause under the Contract Documents.

      4. Payment Becomes Due

        1. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Payment to Owner with Engineer’s recommendation, the amount recommended (subject to any Owner set-offs) will become due, and when due will be paid by Owner to Contractor.

          1.   Twenty-five days after presentation of the Application for Payment to Owner with Engineer’s recommendation, the amount recommended (subject to any Owner set-offs) will become due, and when due will be paid by Owner to Contractor.

      5. Reductions in Payment by Owner

        1. In addition to any reductions in payment (set-offs) recommended by Engineer, Owner is entitled to impose a set-off against payment based on any of the following:

          1. Claims have been made against Owner based on Contractor’s conduct in the performance or furnishing of the Work, or Owner has incurred costs, losses, or damages resulting from Contractor’s conduct in the performance or furnishing of the Work, including but not limited to claims, costs, losses, or damages from workplace injuries, adjacent property damage, non-compliance with Laws and Regulations, and patent infringement;

          2. Contractor has failed to take reasonable and customary measures to avoid damage, delay, disruption, and interference with other work at or adjacent to the Site;

          3. Contractor has failed to provide and maintain required bonds or insurance;

          4. Owner has been required to remove or remediate a Hazardous Environmental Condition for which Contractor is responsible;

          5. Owner has incurred extra charges or engineering costs related to submittal reviews, evaluations of proposed substitutes, tests and inspections, or return visits to manufacturing or assembly facilities;

          6. The Work is defective, requiring correction or replacement;

          7. Owner has been required to correct defective Work in accordance with Paragraph 14.07, or has accepted defective Work pursuant to Paragraph 14.04;

          8. The Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;

          9. An event has occurred that would constitute a default by Contractor and therefore justify a termination for cause;

          10. Liquidated or other damages have accrued as a result of Contractor’s failure to

            achieve Milestones, Substantial Completion, or final completion of the Work;

          11. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where Contractor has delivered a specific bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens; or

            1.   Liens have been filed in connection with the Work (With the security provided by Payment Bond and the Owner’s power of to set-off amounts for claims, payment by one shall in no way impair or discharge the liability of the other).

            2. Other items entitle Owner to a set-off against the amount recommended.

        2. If Owner imposes any set-off against payment, whether based on its own knowledge or on the written recommendations of Engineer, Owner will give Contractor immediate written notice (with a copy to Engineer) stating the reasons for such action and the specific amount of the reduction, and promptly pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of the amount so withheld. Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, if Contractor remedies the reasons for such action. The reduction imposed will be binding on Contractor unless it duly submits a Change Proposal contesting the reduction.

          1.   If Owner imposes any set-off against payment, whether based on its own knowledge or on the written recommendations of Engineer, Owner will give Contractor immediate written notice (with a copy to Engineer) stating the reasons for such action and the specific amount of the reduction, and promptly pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of the amount so withheld.  Owner will promptly pay Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, if Contractor remedies the reasons for such action. The reduction imposed will be binding on Contractor unless it duly submits a Change Proposal contesting the reduction. Contractor must submit pay application for approved amount to be paid the approved amount.

          2. Upon a subsequent determination that Owner’s refusal of payment was not justified, the amount wrongfully withheld will be treated as an amount due as determined by Paragraph 15.01.D.1 and subject to interest as provided in the Agreement.

          3.   All monies paid by Owner in settlement of lien as aforesaid, with the costs and expenses incurred by the Owner in connection therewith, will be charged to Contractor, will bear

          interest at the rate of three percentage points above the rediscounted rate then charged by the Federal Reserve Bank, and will be deducted from the next payment due Contract under the terms of this Contract.

      6.   For contracts in which the Contract Price is based on the Cost of Work, if Owner determines that progress payments made to date substantially exceed the actual progress of the Work (as measured by reference to the Schedule of Values), or present a potential conflict with the Guaranteed Maximum Price, then Owner may require that Contractor prepare and submit a plan for the remaining anticipated Applications for Payment that will bring payments and progress into closer alignment and take into account the Guaranteed Maximum Price (if any), through reductions in billings, increases in retainage, or other equitable measures. Owner will review the plan, discuss any necessary modifications, and implement the plan as modified for all remaining Applications for Payment.

    2. Contractor’s Warranty of Title

      1. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment furnished under the Contract will pass to Owner free and clear of (1) all Liens and other title defects, and (2) all patent, licensing, copyright, or royalty obligations, no later than 7 days after the time of payment by Owner.

      2.   No material or supplies for Work will be purchased by Contractor or Subcontractor subject to any title mortgage or under any conditional sale contract or any other agreement by which an interest is retained by the Seller. Contractor warrants that Contractor has good title to all materials and supplies used by Contractor in the Work, free from all liens, claims, or encumbrances.

      3.   Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and save Owner and Engineer harmless from all claims (including but not limited to expert fees, and attorneys’ fees and costs) growing out of the lawful  demand  the  Subcontractors,  laborers,  workman,  mechanics,  material  men  and furnishers and machinery and parts thereof, equipment, power tools, and all supplies incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this Contract. Contractor must, at Owner’s request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all applications of the nature here and above designated have been paid, discharged, or waived.  If Contractor fails to do so, then Owner may, after having served written notice on said Contractor, either pay unpaid bills in which Owner has written notice direct, or withhold from Contractor’s unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonable sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged, whereupon payment to the Contractor will be resumed, in accordance with the terms of the Contract, but in no event will the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon the Owner to either Contractor or Contractor Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the Contractor, Owner will be deemed the agent of the Contractor and any payment so made by the Owner will be considered a payment made under the Contract by Owner to Contactor and Owner will not be liable to Contractor for any such payment made in good faith.

    3. Substantial Completion

      1. When Contractor considers the entire Work ready for its intended use Contractor shall notify Owner and Engineer in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete and request that Engineer issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Contractor shall at the same time

        submit to Owner and Engineer an initial draft of punch list items to be completed or corrected before final payment.

        1.   When Contractor considers the entire Work ready for its intended use Contractor shall notify Owner and Engineer in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete and request that Engineer issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within 5 calendar days following Substantial Completion, the Contractor shall supply a list of items and the estimated costs to complete each item on the list required to render complete, satisfactory, and acceptable final completion to the Owner in accordance with section 255.077, Florida Statutes.

        2. Promptly after Contractor’s notification, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If Engineer does not consider the Work substantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor.

          1.   If some or all of the Work has been determined not to be at a point of Substantial Completion and will require re-inspection or re-testing by Engineer, the cost of such re-inspection or re-testing, including the cost of time, travel and living expenses, will be paid by Contractor to Owner. If Contractor does not pay, or the parties are unable to agree as to the amount owed, then Owner may impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under this Article 15.

        3. If Engineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will deliver to Owner a preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion which will fix the date of Substantial Completion. Engineer shall attach to the certificate a punch list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. Owner shall have 7 days after receipt of the preliminary certificate during which to make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions of the certificate or attached punch list. If, after considering the objections to the provisions of the preliminary certificate, Engineer concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, Engineer will, within 14 days after submission of the preliminary certificate to Owner, notify Contractor in writing that the Work is not substantially complete, stating the reasons therefor. If Owner does not object to the provisions of the certificate, or if despite consideration of Owner’s objections Engineer concludes that the Work is substantially complete, then Engineer will, within said 14 days, execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor a final certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised punch list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the preliminary certificate as Engineer believes justified after consideration of any objections from Owner.

        1.   If Engineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will deliver to Owner a preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion which will fix the date of Substantial Completion. Owner shall have 7 days after receipt of the preliminary certificate during which to make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions of the certificate. If, after considering the objections to the provisions of the preliminary certificate, Engineer concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, Engineer will, within 14 days after submission of the preliminary certificate to Owner, notify Contractor in writing that the Work is not substantially complete, stating the reasons therefor. If Owner does not object to the provisions of the certificate, or if despite consideration of Owner’s objections Engineer concludes that the Work is substantially complete, then Engineer will, within said 14 days, execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor a final certificate of Substantial Completion

          reflecting such changes from the preliminary certificate as Engineer believes justified after consideration of any objections from Owner.

        2. At the time of receipt of the preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion, Owner and Contractor will confer regarding Owner’s use or occupancy of the Work following Substantial Completion, review the builder’s risk insurance policy with respect to the end of the builder’s risk coverage, and confirm the transition to coverage of the Work under a permanent property insurance policy held by Owner. Unless Owner and Contractor agree otherwise in writing, Owner shall bear responsibility for security, operation, protection of the Work, property insurance, maintenance, heat, and utilities upon Owner’s use or occupancy of the Work.

        3. After Substantial Completion the Contractor shall promptly begin work on the punch list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. In appropriate cases Contractor may submit monthly Applications for Payment for completed punch list items, following the progress payment procedures set forth above.

        1.   Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable access to remove its property and complete or correct items on the final punch list.

        2. Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable access to remove its property and complete or correct items on the punch list.

        1.   Engineer and Owner will review the Work and the Contractor-generated punch list to assure all deficiencies are noted on a final punch list document (“Punch List”). The Punch List must include all items required to render the Project complete, satisfactory, and acceptable. If Engineer and Contractor disagree on whether an item belongs on the Punch List, the Engineer has the final say on whether the item is included or not. The Punch List shall be finalized and issued to the Contractor by the Owner within the time frames indicated: (a) For construction estimated to cost less than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00), the Punch List must be developed within thirty (30) Days after the Substantial Completion date and delivered to the Contractor five (5) days thereafter; or (b) For construction projects estimated to cost more than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00), the Punch List must be developed within forty-five

          (45) Days after the Substantial Completion date and delivered to the Contractor five (5) days thereafter. For construction projects involving more than one building or structure or multiple phases, the Punch List must be prepared for each building, structure or phase within thirty

          (30) Days of the Substantial Completion date of a particular building, structure or phase if it is estimated to cost less than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) or within forty-five (45) Days if it is estimated to cost more than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00).

        2.    At the same time the Owner delivers the Punch List, Contractor shall submit a payment application requesting that Owner pay the Contractor the remaining contract balance owed including all retainage previously held by Owner less an amount equal to 150 percent (150%) of the estimated cost to complete the items on the Punch List. Within twenty (20) business days after the delivery of the Punch List to the Contractor, the Owner must pay the Contractor the remaining contract balance owed, that includes all retainage previously withheld by Owner less an amount equal to 150 percent (150%) of the estimated cost to complete the items on the Punch List. Warranty items may not affect the final payment retainage as

        provided herein. Owner is not required to pay or process any payment request for retainage if the Contractor has failed to cooperate with Owner in the development of the list or failed to perform its contractual responsibilities with regard to the development of a list or if Section 255.078(3), F. S., applies. The failure to include any corrective work or pending items not yet completed on the Punch List does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all the construction services purchased pursuant to the Contract Documents.

        H  Upon completion of the Punch List Work, the Contractor shall certify in writing to the Engineer that all Punch List Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents and request the Engineer to inspect the Work and to approve Punch List completion.  If, in the Engineer’s opinion, the Work is not ready for such inspection, the Engineer will so inform the Contractor, giving reasons for such opinion. If the Engineer is satisfied that an inspection is warranted, the Engineer will, within a reasonable time, schedule and conduct inspection(s) of the facility with representatives of the Owner’s user department, the Professional (if any), and the Contractor, for the purpose of formally reviewing the completion of Punch List Work. If the Engineer and the Contractor disagree on whether an item remains incomplete, the Engineer has the final say on whether the item is complete or not. If, upon completion of the inspection(s) the Owner does not consider the Punch List Work complete, the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing giving specific reasons why the Punch List Work is not complete. Upon completion of all items on the Punch List, the Contractor may submit a payment request for the remaining amount withheld by the Owner.  If a good-faith dispute exists as to whether one or more items identified on the list have been completed pursuant to the Contract Documents, the Owner may continue to withhold an amount not to exceed one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the total costs to complete such items.  This remaining balance of retainage may be requested by the Contractor in its Final Application for payment after Final Acceptance of the Work by Owner. Warranty items may not affect the final payment of retainage pursuant to Section 218.735(7)(f), Florida Statutes.

        1.   If the Owner fails to comply with its responsibilities to assist in developing the Punch List within the time frame applicable to the Project (as described above), the Contractor may submit a request for all remaining retainage withheld by the Owner. The Owner need not pay or process any payment request for retainage if Contractor has, in whole or part, failed to cooperate with the Owner in development of the Punch List or failed to perform its contractual responsibilities with regard to development of the Punch List.  Additionally, the Owner does not have to pay or release any amounts that are the subject of a good-faith dispute, the subject of a claim brought pursuant to Section 255.05, Florida Statutes, or otherwise the subject of a claim or demand by the Owner or Contractor.

    4. Partial Use or Occupancy

      1. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work, Owner may use or occupy any substantially completed part of the Work which has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or which Owner, Engineer, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by Owner for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s performance of the remainder of the Work, subject to the following conditions:

        1. At any time, Owner may request in writing that Contractor permit Owner to use or occupy any such part of the Work that Owner believes to be substantially complete. If and when

          Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, Contractor, Owner, and Engineer will follow the procedures of Paragraph 15.03.A through 15.03.E for that part of the Work.

        2. At any time, Contractor may notify Owner and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such part of the Work substantially complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.

        3. Within a reasonable time after either such request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If Engineer does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer will notify Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor. If Engineer considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of Paragraph 15.03 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.

        4. No use or occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work may occur prior to compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 6.04 regarding builder’s risk or other property insurance.

    5. Final Inspection

      1. Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, Engineer will promptly make a final inspection with Owner and Contractor and will notify Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work, or agreed portion thereof, is incomplete or defective. Contractor shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies. Owner reserves the right to inspect the Work and make an independent determination as to the Work's acceptability, even though Engineer may have issued its recommendations. Unless and until Owner is completely satisfied, neither the final payment nor the retainage shall become due and payable.

    6. Final Payment

      1. Application for Payment

        1. After Contractor has, in the opinion of Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract Documents, all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance, certificates of inspection, annotated record documents (as provided in Paragraph 7.12), and other documents, Contractor may make application for final payment.

        2. The final Application for Payment must be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by:

          1. all documentation called for in the Contract Documents;

          2. consent of the surety, if any, to final payment;

          3. satisfactory evidence that all title issues have been resolved such that title to all Work, materials, and equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any Liens or other title defects, or will so pass upon final payment.


          4. a list of all duly pending Change Proposals and Claims; and

          5. complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Lien rights arising out of the Work, and of Liens filed in connection with the Work.

            1.   The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by:

              1.   all documentation called for in the Contract Documents;

              2.   consent of the surety, if any, to final payment;

              3.   satisfactory evidence that all title issues have been resolved such that title to all Work, materials, and equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any Liens or other title defects, or will so pass upon final payment;

              4.   a list of all disputes that Contractor believes are unsettled;

              5.   complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Lien rights arising out of the Work, and of Liens filed in connection with the Work; and

              6.   Contractor’s Affidavit for Final Payment

            2. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens specified in Paragraph 15.06.A.2 and as approved by Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of Contractor that: (a) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material, and equipment for which a Lien could be filed; and (b) all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which Owner might in any way be responsible, or which might in any way result in liens or other burdens on Owner's property, have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against any Lien, or Owner at its option may issue joint checks payable to Contractor and specified Subcontractors and Suppliers.

            3.  Contractor must furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of Contractor that: (a) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material, and equipment for which a Lien  could be  filed;  and  (b)  all  payrolls,  material  and  equipment  bills,  and  other indebtedness connected with the Work for which Owner might in any way be responsible, or which might in any way result in liens or other burdens on Owner's property, have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against any Lien, or Owner at its option may issue joint checks payable to Contractor and specified Subcontractors and Suppliers.

      2. Engineer’s Review of Final Application and Recommendation of Payment: If, on the basis of Engineer’s observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and Engineer’s review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by the Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work has been completed and Contractor’s other obligations under the Contract have been fulfilled, Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing Engineer’s recommendation of final payment and present the final Application for Payment to Owner for payment. Such recommendation will account for any set-offs against payment that are

        necessary in Engineer’s opinion to protect Owner from loss for the reasons stated above with respect to progress payments.

      2. The acceptance of final payment by Contractor will constitute a waiver by Contractor of all claims and rights against Owner other than those pending matters that have been duly submitted as a Claim, or appealed under the provisions of Article 17.

      1. If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion (or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by the Supplementary Conditions or the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents), Owner gives Contractor written notice that any Work has been found to be defective, or that Contractor’s repair of any damages to the Site or adjacent areas has been found to be defective, then after receipt of such notice of defect Contractor shall promptly, without cost to Owner and in accordance with Owner’s written instructions:

        1. correct the defective repairs to the Site or such adjacent areas;

        2. correct such defective Work;

        3. remove the defective Work from the Project and replace it with Work that is not defective, if the defective Work has been rejected by Owner, and

        4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other Work, to the work of others, or to other land or areas resulting from the corrective measures.

      2. Owner shall give any such notice of defect within 60 days of the discovery that such Work or repairs is defective. If such notice is given within such 60 days but after the end of the correction period, the notice will be deemed a notice of defective Work under Paragraph 7.17.B.

  2. If, after receipt of a notice of defect within 60 days and within the correction period, Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of Owner’s written instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, Owner may have the defective Work corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work removed and replaced. Contractor shall pay all costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or repair or such removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others). Contractor’s failure to pay such costs, losses, and damages within 10 days of invoice from Owner will be deemed the start of an event giving rise to a Claim under Paragraph 12.01.B, such that any related Claim must be brought within 30 days of the failure to pay.

Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or repair or such removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others). Contractor’s failure to pay such costs, losses and damages

    gives rise to Owner’s set-off of such costs, losses, and damages, and any other remedies available to Owner.

  2. In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service before Substantial Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run from an earlier date if so provided in the Specifications.

  3. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or removed and replaced under this paragraph, the correction period hereunder with respect to such Work will be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or removal and replacement has been satisfactorily completed.

  4. Contractor’s obligations under this paragraph are in addition to all other obligations and warranties. The provisions of this paragraph are not to be construed as a substitute for, or a waiver of, the provisions of any applicable statute of limitation or repose.

CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 7.J:


BACKGROUND:


TAMPA BAY ESTUARY PROGRAM THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT


The Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) was established in 1991 as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program to coordinate regional efforts to restore and protect the ecological health of Tampa Bay while supporting its continued economic vitality. The Program is governed through an interlocal agreement among sixteen participating governmental entities, including the Manatee County Port Authority. The current agreement amends and restates previous versions adopted in 1998, 2015, and 2021.


The proposed Third Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement continues the Port Authority's participation in the Tampa Bay Estuary Program and reaffirms the commitment of participating agencies to implement the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). The updated agreement incorporates the 2023 CCMP revisions, clarifies organizational structure and governance, updates funding methodologies through Fiscal Year 2031, and establishes a five-year review process to ensure the agreement remains effective and responsive to evolving environmental and regional needs.

  1. The Tampa Bay National Estuary Program (hereinafter, “Tampa Bay Estuary Program” or “Program”) was established in 1991 to assist the Tampa Bay area in developing a comprehensive plan to restore and protect Tampa Bay. The Tampa Bay Estuary Program was created by Interlocal Agreement dated February 27, 1998 (the “Original Interlocal Agreement”), as amended and restated August 10, 2015 and September 1, 2021, and is governed by a Policy Board and advised by a Management Board. The Tampa Bay Estuary Program is a part of a national network of twenty-eight (28) National Estuary Programs established under the Federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”) and administered nationally by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

  2. Local government and regulatory agency participants in the Tampa Bay Estuary Program consisting of the Parties described in the Preamble above, as well as the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Army Corps of Engineers, have developed and unanimously adopted a Comprehensive Conservation & Management Plan for Tampa Bay, known as Charting the Course, dated December 1996, which was updated in May 2006, amended in February 2013, and subsequently updated in August 2017 and November 2023 (the “CCMP”), and are committed to its successful implementation. The CCMP seeks to ensure that Tampa Bay remains a vibrant part of the region's environmental and economic landscape by preserving and enhancing its roles as a recreational resource, international seaport, and home for fish and wildlife.

  3. The CCMP presents goals for clean water and sediments; thriving habitats and abundant wildlife; and an informed, engaged and responsible community which will be re-examined at least once every five (5) years and updated as appropriate. To achieve the CCMP goals, this Agreement emphasizes regional cooperation and regulatory flexibility that allows the

    Parties to select cost-effective and environmentally beneficial bay improvement options for their communities, so long as the goals of the CCMP are met.

  4. The Parties to the CCMP and the Original Interlocal Agreement established the Tampa Bay Estuary Program as the first National Estuary Program to adopt a binding agreement for implementation of the CCMP and now seek to ensure that the CCMP continues to be properly and effectively implemented.

The Goals focus on issues that must be addressed to sustain a healthier bay that will support both recreation and commerce, including but not limited to: clean water and sediments; thriving habitats and abundant wildlife; and an informed, engaged and responsible community. The Goals shall be achieved in the manner described in Section 4.3 below. The Parties shall use their best efforts to achieve the Goals within the time periods prescribed and shall work cooperatively to attempt to achieve all of the Goals applicable to them in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, the Parties agree to work together in good faith and through their best efforts to address other actions and recommendations in the CCMP.

The Goals shall be re-examined by the Tampa Bay Estuary Program at least once every five (5) years considering new knowledge or changed circumstances and updated accordingly. The Policy Board may elect by a majority vote to re-examine the Goals more frequently if warranted by them.

If a cumulative Goal is not met within its stated goal period, then the Tampa Bay Estuary Program will develop the additional projects necessary to address the shortfall, including the funding sources, which projects and funding are subject to the approval of the Policy Board.

    4. Nitrogen Management Consortium Responsibilities. The Consortium participants have made and are expected to continue to make significant contributions toward achieving the CCMP goal of nitrogen loading management by meeting entity-specific nitrogen load allocations as identified in the “Reasonable Assurance Addendum: Allocation and Assessment Report” dated September 11, 2009, updated in the “2012 Reasonable Assurance Update” dated December 14, 2012, the “2017 Reasonable Assurance Update” dated September 29, 2017, the “2022 Reasonable Assurance Update” dated December 29, 2022, and approved by the Consortium participants.

ARTICLE SIX – RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES


    1. Responsibilities of all Parties. By entering into this Agreement, the Parties intend to recommend actions and adjust strategies as needed to keep Tampa Bay's recovery on track. To that end, each of the Parties hereby agrees to:

      1. Assist in implementing the CCMP nitrogen loading reduction/management Goal, to be accomplished by the Parties and other members of the Consortium, as described in the “Reasonable Assurance Addendum: Allocation and Assessment Report” dated September 11, 2009, and as updated in the “2012 Reasonable Assurance Update” dated December 14, 2012, the “2017 Reasonable Assurance Update” dated September 29, 2017, and the “2022 Reasonable

        Assurance Update” dated December 29, 2022;


      2. Report in the Action Plan Database, which supports the CCMP and is maintained by the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, all available information about projects and actions that address nutrient reduction in Tampa Bay;

      3. Assist in supporting CCMP habitat goals for Tampa Bay by assisting the Tampa Bay Estuary Program in implementing and recording habitat protection and restoration activities; and

      4. Participate, as “responsible parties” identified in the CCMP, to implementation of Action Plans identified in the CCMP.

    2. Additional Responsibilities of the Regulatory Agencies. The Regulatory Agencies agree that they will extend as much flexibility as is legally permissible under circumstances deemed appropriate by such agencies for projects that are part of an approved Action Plan set forth in the CCMP.

    3. Regulatory Process Review. Subject to the above limitations, all Regulatory Agencies and all other Parties having regulatory functions agree to periodically review their regulatory processes and consider changes in statutes, ordinances, rules or policies that would assist in meeting the goals of the CCMP. Any such changes shall be made in keeping with the cooperative intent of this section and otherwise in this Agreement.

    4. Responsibilities of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. The Tampa Bay Estuary Program shall:

      1. Serve as the coordinating body for the CCMP and assist the Parties in implementation thereof;

      2. Prepare, every two (2) years, a progress report on the status of CCMP implementation;

      3. Assist the Parties in locating grants and other funds to aid in implementation of the projects set forth in the CCMP;

      4. Coordinate outreach programs to promote public participation and facilitate restoration activities that support the CCMP Goals;

      5. Coordinate the re-examination and updating of the CCMP every five (5)


        years;


      6. Facilitate resolution of conflicts among the Parties;


      7. Oversee atmospheric deposition, toxic contamination, climate change, habitat assessments, water quality evaluations and other research projects;

    5. Tampa Port Authority. The Tampa Port Authority is an independent special district created by the Florida Legislature under Chapter 95-488, Laws of Florida, as amended from time to time (the "Port Authority Enabling Act"). The Port Authority Enabling Act provides, in part, the Tampa Port Authority is responsible for regulating marine construction and management of sovereign submerged lands within the Hillsborough County Port District (the "Port Authority Regulatory Capacity"). Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, the Tampa Port Authority is entering into this Agreement only to the extent of its Port Authority Regulatory Capacity.


ARTICLE SEVEN – BUDGETING AND FUNDING


    1. Tampa Bay Estuary Program Budget. The Policy Board is responsible for establishing the budget for the Tampa Bay Estuary Program and shall annually review and approve the budget. The budget will require approval by two-thirds (2/3) of all members of the Policy Board.

    2. Funding. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 below, all non-federal Tampa Bay Estuary Program Work Plan budgeted costs shall be funded by the Funding Entities and allocated in accordance with Schedules 1 and 2 of Exhibit “A” attached hereto, as follows:

      1. To support additional projects and CCMP implementation, all Funding Entities are encouraged to contribute to the Tampa Bay Estuary Restoration Fund (“TBERF”) at the following levels based upon current (2026) Tampa Bay Estuary Program dues:

        Dues TBERF Contribution


        Level A: Less than $40,000 per year At least $25,000 Level B: Between $40,000 and $80,000 At least $75,000 Level C: Greater than $80,000 At least $100,000

      2. Annual dues for Funding Entities will be determined by Schedule 1 of


        Exhibit “A” under the following conditions:


        1. If a Funding Entity contributes to the TBERF at the above levels in


          a particular year; or,


        2. In the case of SWFWMD, if SWFWMD provides funding to the Tampa Bay Estuary Program at the above levels through cooperative funding projects; or

        3. If a Funding Entity contributes to the Tampa Bay Estuary Program at the above levels through projects which support the goals of the CCMP, are included in the approved Work Plan, and include a ten percent (10%) administrative fee for the Tampa Bay Estuary Program.

      3. Annual dues for Funding Entities will be determined by Schedule 2 of


        Exhibit “A” if section 7.2(b), above, does not apply.


      4. On or before the end of fiscal year 2031, and every five (5) years thereafter, the Policy Board shall initiate review and approval of draft revisions to Schedules 1 and 2 and thereafter shall submit said revisions to the Funding Entities for their review and approval, with the option to amend or modify. If no action is taken by the end of fiscal year 2031, and every five

        (5) years thereafter, the funding levels shown in each Schedule shall continue at the same level (the then current Year Five level) until amended or modified by the Policy Board and the Funding Entities;

      5. Management Board members that are not on the Policy Board are encouraged to contribute directly to the operations of Tampa Bay Estuary Program or to the TBERF; and

      6. The Funding Entities agree that if federal and other external funding increases beyond the levels on the Effective Date, and if the Tampa Bay Estuary Program’s undesignated fund balance reaches a level that is sufficient to support a full fiscal year of program operations, then the Policy Board shall consider freezing their dues to the levels in place in the current fiscal year.

    3. Annual Approval. Each Policy Board director shall present for consideration and approval to its applicable legislative or governing body each fiscal year the funding levels described in Schedules 1 or 2 of Exhibit “A” hereof, but which funding decision is in the sole discretion of such applicable body. Such funding approval is a condition precedent to the funding obligation by such Funding Entity each year under Section 7.2 and Schedules 1 and 2 of Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

    4. Non-Appropriation.

      1. The obligations of the Funding Entities as to any funding required pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to an obligation in any given year to budget, appropriate, and pay from legally available funds, after monies for essential services have been budgeted and appropriated, sufficient monies for the funding that is required during that year. Further, the

        Funding Entities shall not be prohibited from pledging any legally available non ad valorem revenues for any obligations prior to or after the execution of this Agreement and not including the commitments pursuant to this Agreement, which pledge shall be prior and superior to any commitments of the Funding Entities pursuant to this Agreement.

      2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the obligations undertaken by the Funding Entities hereto shall not be construed to be or constitute general obligations, debts or liabilities of any Funding Entity or the State of Florida or any political subdivision, municipal corporation or agency thereof within the meaning of the Constitution and laws of the State of Florida, but shall be payable solely in the manner and to the extent provided in or contemplated by this Agreement. The obligations of the Funding Entities hereunder are subject to annual appropriation of legally available non ad valorem funds by their respective governing boards, and shall not constitute or create a pledge, lending of credit or lien, either legal or equitable, of or on any of their ad valorem revenues or funds, or upon any other revenues or funds of the Funding Entities, as may be construed under the laws or the Constitution of the State of Florida. No Funding Entity or any other person or entity shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of ad valorem taxing power by any other Funding Entity to make the payments herein provided, nor shall this Agreement constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, either legal or equitable, upon any property or funds of any Funding Entity.

      3. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each of the Funding Entities reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to pay the funding obligations contemplated by this Agreement from any funds legally available for such purpose.

ARTICLE EIGHT – DEFAULT


In the event any Party is determined to be in willful and significant noncompliance with the CCMP Goals or with the terms of this Agreement, the Policy Board may, by a unanimous vote by all Parties except the Party charged with being in default, recommend the removal of such non-complying Party from this Agreement. Prior to any such vote by the Policy Board, the non-complying Party shall be given a notice of its non-compliance and an opportunity to remedy the problem within a reasonable period or to a public hearing before the Policy Board if there is a dispute whether a default exists. If a Party is found to be in noncompliance with permits by the applicable Regulatory Agency(ies), the permit granting agencies may take actions to enforce their permits against such non-complying Party under their own respective laws and regulations. If any Party is discharged under this Article Eight, (i) all monies previously paid hereunder shall be conclusively deemed earned and not subject to return to such Party, (ii) any future funding responsibility of such party shall terminate, and (iii) this Agreement shall continue as to the remaining Parties. Provided, however, any funds paid before termination but not expended shall only be used by the Tampa Bay Estuary Program in accordance with the approved budget for which such contribution was made.


ARTICLE NINE – NOTICE


Any and all notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be provided if either personally delivered to the Party at the addresses set forth in Exhibit "B," or sent by U.S. certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to such

addresses, all such notices being effective upon delivery to and receipt by the Parties, unless the respective Party or Parties notify all other Parties in writing in accordance herewith of a change of address and/or representative at such address authorized to receive any and all such notices, in which case any and all such notices shall be delivered and/or mailed as aforesaid to said Party or Parties at such new address with respect to such Party.


ARTICLE TEN – WITHDRAWAL OF A PARTY


Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any Party hereto shall have the right to withdraw as a Party to this Agreement by providing one hundred eighty

(180) days prior written notice as set forth in Article Nine above. Such withdrawal of a Party shall occur only if the withdrawing Party provides one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to the other Parties. On the day following the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the withdrawing Party shall no longer be considered a Party to this Agreement. Provided however, even though such withdrawing Party shall have withdrawn as a Party to this Agreement as set forth above in this Article, such withdrawing Party shall continue to be subject to all applicable laws and regulations, without the benefit of being a Party hereto to this Agreement. If a Party withdraws under this Article Ten, (i) all monies previously paid hereunder shall be conclusively deemed earned and not subject to return to such Party; (ii) the future funding responsibility of such Party shall continue until the end of the current fiscal year, and (iii) this Agreement shall continue as to the remaining Parties. Any funds paid but not expended prior to the withdrawal shall only be used by the Tampa Bay Estuary Program in accordance with the approved budget for which such contribution was made.
