12
16.5 The City shall not be responsible for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor based on the information made available by the City. The City shall not be responsible
for any understanding reached or representation made concerning conditions which can affect the

16.6 The provisions of this Section 16 shall be deemed a complete waiver by the Contractor of
claims for equitable adjustment in Agreement Time or Price, or both, unless due to (1) subsurface
or concealed conditions which differ materially from those indicated on the Agreement Documents, or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction of the character provided in the Agreement Documents; provided however, that claims under this

activities, testing and investigations performed in connection with the Pre-Con Agreement, and which would otherwise provide to Contractor an expectation that the conditions could be similar elsewhere in the Project.

equipment incorporated into any Work covered by the Agreement shall be new and, where not

months (unless longer guarantees or warranties are provided for elsewhere in the Agreement in
which case the longer periods of time shall prevail) from and after Substantial Completion of the Work under the Agreement, regardless of whether the same were furnished or performed by Contractor or by any of its subcontractors of any tier. Even in the event that the City assumes partial utilization of portions of the Work prior to completion of all Work, the Warranties for that
portion shall also extend for twelve (12) months from Substantial Completion of the entire Work,
so that all warranties are running concurrently upon Substantial Completion of the total Project.
16.8 Upon receipt of written notice from City of any defect in any such equipment, materials, or labor during the applicable warranty period due to defective design, materials or workmanship, the affected item or parts thereof shall be redesigned, repaired or replaced by Contractor at a time
and in a manner acceptable to City in compliance with the Agreement Documents, at its expense.
16.9 Contractor warrants such redesigned, repaired or replaced Work against defective design, materials and workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the date of acceptance thereof.

cause to be performed the same, at Contractor's sole cost and expense.
16.10 Contractor shall perform such tests as City may require verifying that such redesign, repairs and replacements comply with the requirements of this Agreement. All costs incidental to such redesign, repair, replacement, and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstallation of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be borne exclusively by
Contractor. However, if such testing determines that the Work is not defective, than City shall
compensate Contractor for such costs of testing and any effects on previously completed work.
13
16.11 Contractor and its Surety shall be liable for the satisfaction and full performance of the warranties as set forth herein, and any damage to other parts of the Work caused by the Contractor's
failure to perform pursuant to this section 16.
16.12 The Contractor shall commence Work to remedy or replace the defective, deficient Work within five (5) calendar days after receiving written (including transmittals by email) notice from the City, subject to allowance for long-lead items. If the Contractor fails to remedy or remove or replace that Work or material which has been found to be defective, or reasonably commence
corrective action, then the City may remedy or replace the defective or deficient Work at the
Contractor's expense; provided, however, all repairs to natural gas, telephone, radio, computer security, water, electric, air conditioning services and all emergency services shall be commenced within twelve (12) hours of notification, or by 7:00 a.m. whichever is earlier, and Contractor shall complete the repairs in an expeditious manner befitting the nature of the deficiency. The
Contractor shall immediately pay the expenses incurred by the City for remedying the defects. If
the City is not paid within ten (10) calendar days, the City may pursue any and all legal remedies it may have against the Contractor and its Surety.
16.13 The Contractor is required to provide a designated telephone number for warranty related emergencies which occur outside the normal workday. The Contractor is solely responsible for
ensuring that all warranty Work is completed in the manner described above. If the City agrees,
in writing, a subcontractor may be the point of contact for notices regarding warranty items, but such agreement shall not absolve the Contractor of its responsibility.
16.14 Ingress/Egress. Contractor's access to the Work area will be permitted only through approaches that will be designated by City, and then only in such manner that Contractor's traffic
will not interfere with City's operations and Merchants/Tenants adjacent to the activity area(s).
Contractor shall, at all times, maintain reasonably free unimpeded ingress and egress at the site. Contractor personnel are not to enter into any areas of the jobsite other than Work areas and areas of designated access. Contractor shall safely maintain, at all times during the performance of the Work, both vehicular and pedestrian traffic in, around, and adjacent to the Project.
16.15 Preconstruction Conference. As soon as practicable after execution of this Agreement,
and prior to commencing any Work, a pre-construction conference will be coordinated by the Contractor and the City. In attendance at said conference will be City, Engineer, and any of their representatives as may be deemed advisable. The purpose of said conference is to determine procedures related to the smooth progress of the Project, review of any items requiring
clarification, maintenance of traffic, merchant and pedestrian accessibility, related safety issues,
and procedures for the processing and distribution of all documents and correspondence related to the Agreement, among other things.
16.16 Meetings. The Contractor shall, at its expense, as requested by City, attend any and all meetings called by City to discuss the Work under the Agreement. Such meetings shall be
conducted and recorded by the City with typed minutes of each meeting distributed to all
attendees.
14
16.17 Delivery, Unloading And Storage Contractor shall, at its expense, receive, unload, store in a secure place, and deliver from storage to the construction site all materials, plant and
equipment required for the performance of the Agreement. The storage facilities, methods of
storing and security provisions shall meet City's approval and manufacturer's recommendations. Materials and equipment subject to degradation by outside exposure shall be stored in a weather tight enclosure. 16.18 Work Area. All Contractor's Work areas on the jobsite will be assigned by City. Contractor shall confine its office, shops, storage, assembly and equipment and vehicle parking to the areas so assigned. Before commencing Work, the Contractor shall provide a temporary office on the site of the Work, which shall have a telephone where a representative of the Contractor
may be reached at all times during normal working hours. Should Contractor find it necessary or
advantageous to use any additional land outside the Project site for any purpose whatever, Contractor shall, provide and make its own arrangements for the use of such additional land.
16.19 Plant, Equipment And Facilities. Contractor shall provide and use on any Work only such construction plant and equipment as are capable of producing the quality and quantity of work and materials required by the Agreement and within the time or times specified in the Agreement. Before proceeding with any Agreement Work or with erection of any facilities,
including, but not limited to, temporary structures, machinery, equipment, offices and
warehouses, Contractor shall furnish City such information and drawings relative to such equipment, plant facilities as City may request.
16.20 Upon written order of City, Contractor shall discontinue operation of unsatisfactory plant and equipment or facilities and shall either modify or remove the unsatisfactory items from the
site.
16.21 Contractor shall not remove construction plant or equipment from the site before the Work is finally accepted without City's written approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
16.22 Contractor-Furnished Materials, Equipment And Workmanship. Only new, unused items
of recent manufacture, of designated quality, but in no event less than the standard quality for the improvements, free from defects, will be accepted. Rejected items shall be removed immediately from the Work and replaced with items of specified quality. Failure by City to order removal of rejected materials and equipment shall not relieve Contractor from responsibility for quality of
the materials supplied nor from any other obligation under the Agreement Documents.
16.23 Contractor shall continuously check architectural and structural clearances for accessibility of equipment and mechanical and electrical systems. No allowance of any kind will be made for Contractor's negligence to foresee means of installing equipment into position inside structures.
16.24 No Work defective in construction or quality, or deficient in meeting any requirement of the Agreement Drawings and Specifications, will be acceptable regardless of City's failure to discover or to point out defects or deficiencies during construction; nor will the presence of field representatives at the Work or the satisfaction of the Work meeting applicable code requirements
relieve Contractor from responsibility for the quality and securing progress of Work as required
by the Agreement Documents. The City shall notify the Contractor of defective or unacceptable Work if the City discovers such. Defective Work revealed within the time required by warranties
15
(whether expressed or implied) shall be remedied in accordance with Section 15, entitled, “Warranty.” No payment, whether partial or final, shall be construed as an acceptance of
defective Work or improper materials.
16.25 Contractor shall waive "common practice" and "common usage" as construction criteria
wherever details and specifications or governing codes and ordinances require greater quantity or
better quality than common practices and common usage would require. Contractor shall order and schedule delivery of materials in reasonable time to avoid delays in construction. Delays in delivery of equipment or material purchased by the Contractor or its Trade Contractors shall not be considered as a cause for an adjustment of the Agreement Time or a basis for damages or
compensation. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for the timely ordering, scheduling, expediting, delivery, and installation of all equipment and materials. If an item is found to be unavailable, Contractor shall notify City immediately of recommended substitute(s) to permit City's selection of a suitable substitute.
16.26 City will exercise sole authority for determining conformance of workmanship, materials, equipment and systems with the requirements of the Agreement. Review and approval of all items proposed by Contractor for incorporation into the Work will be by City. This function
by City will apply both to approvals for the Agreement as initially signed, and to approvals for changes to Agreement by modifications during progress of the Work. Reference to manufacturers' names, brands and models is to establish the type and quality desired. Substitutions may be permitted unless specifically noted otherwise in this Agreement.
16.27 When materials, equipment, or systems are specified by performance only, without reference to specific manufacturer's brands or models, Contractor shall submit its own choice for City's review and approval, supported by sufficient evidence of conformity with the
Agreement Documents. Substitutions. Prior to proposing any substitute item, Contractor shall satisfy itself that the item proposed is, in fact, equal or better to that specified, that such item will fit into
the space allocated, that such item affords comparable ease of operation, maintenance
and service, that the appearance, longevity and suitability for the climate are comparable, and that by reason of cost savings, reduced construction time, or similar demonstrable benefit, the substitution of such item will be in City's interest, and will in no way impact detrimentally upon the Project completion date and schedule. The
burden of proof of equality of a proposed substitution for a specified item shall be upon
Contractor prior to City's decision on such substitution. Contractor shall support its request with sufficient test data and other means to permit City to make a fair and equitable decision on the merits of the proposal. Contractor shall submit drawings, samples, data, certificates, and additional information as may be required by the City for
proposed substitute items.
16.28 Any item by a manufacturer other than those specified or of brand name or model number
or of generic species other than those specified will be considered a substitution. City will be
the sole judge of whether or not the substitution is equal in quality, utility and economy to that
16
specified. Contractor shall allow an additional seven (7) calendar days for City's review of substitution. All requests for substitutions with submittal data must be made at least fourteen
(14) calendar days prior to the time Contractor must order, purchase, or release for manufacture
or fabrication.
16.29 Materials and methods proposed as substitutions for specified items shall be supported by certification of their approval for use by all governmental agencies having jurisdiction over use of specific material or method. Substitutions may not be permitted in those instances where the
products are designed to match artistic design, specific function or economy of maintenance.
16.30 Expediting The equipment and material furnished under this Agreement may be subject to expediting by City, at City's expense. City shall be allowed reasonable access to the shops, factories, and other places of business of the Contractor and its subcontractors and suppliers, for expediting purposes. As required by City, Contractor shall supply schedules and progress
reports for City's use in expediting and Contractor shall cooperate with City and require its subcontractors and suppliers to cooperate with City in such expediting. Any expediting performed by City shall not relieve Contractor of its sole and primary responsibility for timeliness of delivery of the equipment and material to be furnished under this Agreement.
16.31 Field Layout Of Work All Work under this Agreement shall be constructed in accordance with the lines and grades shown on the Agreement Drawings or as approved by the City in writing. Elevation of existing ground, structures and appurtenances are believed to be reasonably correct but are not guaranteed to be absolute and therefore are presented only as an approximation. All survey work for construction control purposes shall be made by a land surveyor registered in the
State of Florida, with demonstrated experience in the Project area, and who shall be employed by the Contractor at Contractor's expense. The Contractor shall establish all base lines for the location of the principal component parts of the Work together with permanent benchmarks and temporary benchmarks adjacent to the Work. Based upon the information provided by the Agreement Drawings, the Contractor's surveyor shall develop and make all detail surveys necessary for
construction including establishment or construction of grid coordinates as shown on the Agreement Drawings, location of property boundaries, stakes for all working points, lines and elevations. City shall provide surveys necessary for utility easements.
The Contractor shall have the responsibility to carefully preserve all benchmarks, reference points and stakes. In case of destruction thereof by the Contractor resulting from his negligence,
or for any other reason, it shall be held liable for any expense and damage resulting therefrom and shall be responsible for any mistakes that may be caused by the unnecessary loss or disturbance of such benchmarks, reference points and stakes. Existing or new control points, property markers, and monuments that will be established or are destroyed during the normal course of construction shall be reestablished by the Contractor, and all reference ties recorded
therefor shall be furnished to the City. All computations necessary to establish the exact position of the Work shall be made and preserved by the Contractor.
16.32Contractor Furnished Drawings, Data And Samples. Review and permission to proceed by City as stated in this Agreement does not constitute acceptance or approval of design details, calculations, analyses, test methods, certificates or materials developed or selected
17
by the Contractor and does not relieve Contractor from full compliance with contractual obligations. Drawings, samples, catalogues, data and certificates required shall be
submitted to the City for review. All correspondence from the Contractor to the City shall
be numbered sequentially and the submittal number shall be referenced. Submittal drawings (shop, erection or setting diagrams) and schedules, required for work of various trades, shall be checked before submission by technically qualified employees of Contractor for accuracy, completeness and compliance with Agreement requirements.
These drawings and schedules shall be stamped and signed by Contractor certifying to such
check. The certification stamp shall read as follows:
"I certify that I have checked this submittal for accuracy, completeness and compliance with Agreement requirements, and it has been coordinated with all other submittals and Agreement
Documents."

currently approved Agreement construction schedule, City may require an increase in
Contractor's labor force, the number of shifts, overtime operations, additional days of work per week and an increase in the amount of construction plant; all without additional cost to City. Neither such notice by City nor City's failure to issue such notice shall relieve Contractor of its obligation to achieve the quality of work and rate of progress required by the Agreement.

26. No Waiver. Failure of the City to insist upon strict performance of any provision or condition
of this Agreement, or to enforce any right contained in it, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such provision, condition or right, but the same shall remain in full force and effect.
27. Declaration of Default. The failure of the Contractor a) to supply enough properly skilled
workers or materials, or b) its failure to make prompt payments to subcontractors, or for materials or labor, or c) to obey laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of public agencies having jurisdiction, or d) to comply in any way with the Agreement Documents, shall be sufficient grounds for the City to find the Contractor in material default, and that sufficient cause
exists to terminate the Agreement for cause, and to withhold payment or any part thereof until
the cause or causes giving rise to the default has/have been eliminated by the Contractor and approved by the City. If a finding of default is made by the City, the Contractor and its Surety shall remain responsible for performance of the requirements of the Agreement Documents
38
unless and until the City terminates the Agreement. Upon a finding of default, the City shall set a reasonable time, but in no event in excess of seven (7) calendar days after written notice from
City detailing the default, within which the Contractor and its Surety shall eliminate the cause
or causes of default. When the basis for finding of default no longer exists, the City shall notify the Contractor and its Surety, in writing, that the default has been corrected, and that the Contractor is no longer in default. If the Contractor fails to correct the default within the time allowed, the City, without further notice to Contractor or its Surety, may immediately terminate
the Agreement and the employment of the Contractor, without otherwise waiving its rights
against the Contractor or its Surety. To the extent that the time limits herein conflict with those set forth in the Performance Bond, the time limits in this section shall take precedence.

evidence that such default will be corrected, City may, without further notice to
Contractor, terminate in whole or in part Contractor's right to proceed with work by written notice and prosecute the Work to completion by Agreement or by any other method deemed expedient. City may take possession of and utilize any materials, plant, tools, equipment, and property of any kind furnished by

28.5Termination By The City For Convenience:
The Agreement may be terminated for convenience by City upon fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice to Contractor and the Contractor’s surety, if any (delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested) of intent to terminate and the date on which such termination becomes effective. In such case, the Contractor shall be paid for all acceptable work performed prior to
termination and shall not be entitled to any other costs, fees or payments. City may, at its option
and convenience, terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time by written notice thereof to Contractor, whether or not Contractor is in default. Upon any such termination, Contractor hereby waives any claims for damages from the termination, including, without limiting the generality thereof, loss of anticipated profits on Work not performed on account
thereof, home office overhead, lost bonding capacity, and consequential damages. As the sole
41
right and remedy of Contractor, City shall pay Contractor in accordance with Subparagraphs below; provided, however, that those provisions of the Agreement, which by their very nature
survive final acceptance under the Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect after such
termination
(a) Upon receipt of any such notice, Contractor and its Surety shall, unless the notice requires otherwise;

City of all orders and subcontracts to the extent they relate to the performance of work terminated;
(e) If requested by the City in writing, assign to the City, all right, title and interest of the Contractor under the subcontracts terminated. Such Assignment shall not include
assumption of Contractor's obligations or liabilities under any subcontract. The City shall
have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the Contractor's obligations under any subcontracts assigned. Neither this paragraph or any assignment of subcontracts, shall constitute the City's assumption of Contractor's or other obligations under any such subcontract absent a written document executed by the City and the subcontractor in which
the City expressly acknowledges an assumption of Contractor's obligations, and then only
to the extent specified. In no event will the City assume any obligation of the Contractor under the subcontracts that arise out of or relate to Contractor's default prior to such assignment;
(f) The Contractor shall include in all subcontracts, equipment leases and purchase orders, a
provision requiring the subcontractor, equipment lessor, or supplier, to consent to the assignment of their subcontract or purchase order to the City;
(g) Assist City, as specifically requested in writing, in the maintenance, protection and disposition of property acquired by City under the Agreement; and,
(h) Complete performance of any work that is not terminated.
(i) Upon any such termination, City will pay to Contractor an amount determined in accordance with the following (without duplication of any item):
(j) All amounts due and not previously paid to Contractor for work completed in accordance with the Agreement prior to such notice, and for work thereafter completed as specified
in such notice.
(k) The reasonable cost of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of work under subcontracts or orders.
(l) The verifiable costs incurred prior to notice of termination.
42
(m) Any other reasonable costs which can be verified to be incidental to such termination of Work, including demobilization costs.
(n) In the case of such termination for City's convenience, Contractor shall be entitled to
receive payment for Work actually executed, and verifiable costs incurred by reason of such termination, along with an amount not to exceed ten (10) percent for profit and overhead on such verifiable costs incurred.
(o) The City's Termination for Convenience shall be without waiver or prejudice to, all of the
City's claims, rights and remedies arising out of or related to any default, breach of
Agreement, damages or other claims the City may have against Contractor, or Contractor's subcontractors, material suppliers of any tier, or any other person or entity at the time of termination or arising thereafter.
(p) Contractor hereby acknowledges acceptance of the risk and cost of the foregoing and
acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing limitation on Contractor's claims or damages
arising out of, or relating to, a termination for convenience by the City.
(q) Contractor shall submit within 30 calendar days after receipt of notice of Termination, for Convenience, a written proposal for payment, including all incurred costs and other entitlements described herein. City shall review, analyze, and verify such proposal, and
negotiate an equitable adjustment, and the Agreement shall be amended in writing
accordingly.
29. Suspension By The City For Cause
The City may order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt the Work, in whole or in part for such period of time as deemed necessary by the City, if the Contractor fails to
maintain all insurance Coverage required by the Agreement Documents. Any delay in the Work caused by a lapse in Coverage shall be deemed non-excusable, shall not be grounds for a time extension, and shall be subject to any other applicable provisions in the Agreement and Agreement Documents concerning Contractor delay.
30. Suspension By The City For Convenience
(A) The City may, without cause, order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or
interrupt the Work in whole or in part, for such period of time as the City may determine, and the Contractor shall be entitled to an appropriate time extension, provided the suspension delays the critical path of the Work.
(B) If such suspension exceeds thirty (30) consecutive days, Contractor may also be
entitled to an adjustment in the Agreement Sum for increases in the cost of performance of the
Agreement resulting directly from the suspension, delay, or interruption, including reasonable profit on such increased cost; provided however, that no adjustment will be made to the extent:
(1) that performance is, was, or would have been so suspended delayed, or interrupted by another cause for which Contractor is responsible;
(2) that Contractor fails to adequately document the cost increase;
43
(3) that the Contractor would have incurred the cost increase regardless of the suspension, delay, or interruption, or
(4) that an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of
the Agreement or Agreement Documents.
31. Termination for Cause
If the Contractor fails to provide the services or shall in any other manner commit a breach of the agreement and fails to remedy the same within 30 calendar days after receipt of written notice
from the City, the City may terminate the agreement, without any further notice to the Contractor.
City representatives will review the construction services periodically to assure that the requirements of the agreement are being met. If any work is unsatisfactory, the Contractor shall be contacted, and the discrepancies corrected at no additional cost to the City. If deficiencies are not corrected within five (5) working days, the City may, at its option, perform the required
services or contract to have them performed and deduct the cost of those services from the
agreement cost.
31A. Receipt Of Notice Of Termination Or Suspension
Upon receipt of Notice of Termination or suspension, Contractor shall deliver or otherwise make available to City all data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries and such other information as may have been required by the Agreement or Agreement Documents, whether
completed or in process. Upon receipt of any such written notice, Contractor shall, unless the notice requires otherwise:
(a) immediately discontinue work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice;
(b) place no further orders or subcontracts for material, services, or facilities with respect
to suspended work other than to the extent required in the notice;
(c) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain suspension, upon terms satisfactory to City, of all orders, subcontracts and rental agreements to the extent they relate to performance of work suspended;
(d) continue to protect and maintain the Work including those portions on which work
has been suspended, and
(e) take any other reasonable steps to minimize costs associated with such suspension.
In addition to all amounts that would otherwise be due for Work performed prior to the suspension, as compensation for such suspension, Contractor will be reimbursed for the following
verifiable costs (without profit) and without duplication of any item, to the extent that such costs
directly result from such suspension of work:
(a) standby charge to be paid to Contractor during the period of suspension of work which standby charge shall be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the extent required in the notice, its organization and equipment committed to the Work in a
standby status;
44
(b) All reasonable costs associated with mobilization and demobilization of Contractor's plant, forces and equipment; and
(c) An equitable amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost of maintaining and
protecting that portion of the Work upon which work has been suspended. 32. Ownership of Documents. All correspondence, studies, data, analyses, documents, instruments, applications, memorandums and the like, including drawings and specifications
prepared or furnished by Contractor (and any Subcontractor) pursuant to this Agreement shall
become owned by and be the property of the City and the City shall consequently obtain ownership of them by any statutory law or common law and other reserved rights, including copyright; however, such documents are not intended or represented by Contractor to be suitable for reuse by City on extensions of the work or on any other work or project. Any such reuse,
modification or adaptation of such document without written verification or permission by
Contractor for the specific purpose intended will be at City’s sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to Contractor or to any Subcontractors. If City alters any such documents, City will expressly acknowledge same so that no third party will be in doubt as to the creation or origination of any such document.
33. Force Majeure. Under any and all provisions of this Agreement, neither the City nor Contractor, as the case may be, will be considered in breach of or in default of any of their respective non-monetary and monetary obligations under the Agreement as a result of an unavoidable delay due to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials, riot,
war, hurricane, tornado, weather related events or conditions, pandemics, epidemics, shutdowns
due to government restrictions, utility company delays, or other similar causes beyond the commercially reasonable control of a party (in each case, an event of “Force Majeure”). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, the applicable time-period will be extended for each day of the period of the Force Majeure event.
34. Remedies Cumulative. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement, whether provided by law or by this Agreement, are intended to be cumulative and concurrent. The exercise by either party of any one or more of its remedies will not preclude the exercise by a party, at the same or different times, of any other remedies for the same default or breach, or of
any of its remedies for any other default or breach by the other party. The waiver by a party of
any default or Event of Default under this Agreement will not extend to or affect any other existing or subsequent Event of Default, or impair any rights, powers, or remedies of a party in connection with any other default or Event of Default. A party’s delay or omission in exercising any right, power or remedy will not be construed as a waiver of any default or Event of Default or constitute
acquiescence to the default.
35. Notices. Except as provided above, whenever either party desires to give notice to the other, it must be given by written notice, sent by certified U.S. mail, with return receipt requested, addressed to the party for whom it is intended, at the place last specified and the place for giving
of notice in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph. For the present, the parties
designate the following as the respective persons and places for giving of notice:

Upon such filing of Bankruptcy, Contractor will automatically be in default of this Agreement and the provisions of Article 9 will be enforced at City’s discretion.
38. Dispute Resolution 38.1 Claims And Disputes
A. The responsibility to substantiate a Claim shall rest with the party making the
Claim. All Claims must be made in writing and addressed to the City and the Contractor. B. Process for Resolving a Claim. The Contractor shall review the Claim and make a recommendation to the City. The City shall render a final decision regarding the Claim. A
decision by the City shall be required as a condition precedent to litigation of a Claim
between the Contractor and City as to all such matters arising prior to the date final payment is due, regardless of: 1) whether such matters relate to execution and progress of the Work; or 2) the extent to which the Work has been completed.
C. Time Limits on Claims. Claims by the Contractor must be made within thirty (30) days
after occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claim or within thirty (30) days after the claimant first recognizes the condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. Claims by the Contractor or its respective subcontractors must be made by written notice to the City. An additional Claim made after the initial Claim has been implemented by Change
Order will not be considered unless submitted in a timely manner.
46
D. Continuing Agreement Performance. Pending final resolution of a Claim, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of
the Agreement and the City shall continue to make payments in accordance with the
Agreement Documents. E. Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If conditions are encountered at the Project site which are: 1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which
differ materially from those indicated in the Agreement Documents; or 2) unknown
physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist in the locale of the Project site and generally not recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Agreement Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly before conditions
are disturbed and in no event later than twenty-one (21) days after first observance of the
conditions. The Contractor shall promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, Contractor shall recommend to the Consultant, with the City’s approval, an equitable adjustment in the Agreement Sum, Agreement
Time, or both. If the Consultant determines that the conditions at the Project site are not
materially different from those indicated in the Agreement Documents and that no change in the terms of the Agreement is justified, the Consultant shall so notify the City and Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by either party in opposition to such determination must be made within twenty-one (21) days after the Consultant has given
notice of the decision. If the Consultant and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in
the Agreement Sum or Agreement Time, the adjustment shall be referred to the City for final determination. F. Claims for Additional Cost. If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in
the Agreement Sum, written notice as provided in these Conditions shall be given before
proceeding to execute the Work. Prior notice is not required for Claims relating to an emergency endangering life or property arising under Paragraph 10.3. If the Consultant believes additional cost is involved for reasons including but not limited to: 1) a written interpretation from the Contractor; 2) an order by the City to stop the Work where the
Contractor was not at fault; 3) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by
the Contractor; 4) failure of payment by the City; 5) termination of the Agreement by the City; or 6) City's suspension of Work, then the Claim shall be filed in accordance with the procedure established in this Agreement.
G. Claims for Additional Time.
1. If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Agreement Time, written notice as provided in these Conditions shall be given. The Contractor's Claim shall
include an estimate of cost and a probable effect of delay on progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay, only one Claim is necessary.
47
2. If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional time, such Claim shall be documented by data substantiating that weather conditions
were abnormal for the period of time and could not have been reasonably
anticipated, and that weather conditions had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction. H. Injury or Damage to Person or Property. If either party to the Agreement suffers
injury or damage to person or property because of an act or omission of the other party,
or any of the other party's employees or agents, or of others for whose acts such party is legally liable, written notice of such injury or damage, whether or not insured, shall be given to the other party within a reasonable time not exceeding twenty-one (21) days after first observance of the injury or damage. The notice shall provide sufficient detail to
enable the other party to investigate the matter.
38.2 Resolution Of Claims And Disputes A. The Contractor shall review Claims and take one or more of the following preliminary
actions within ten days of receipt of a Claim: 1) request additional supporting data from
the claimant: 2) submit a schedule to the parties indicating when the Contractor expects to take action; or 3) suggest a compromise. The Consultant may, at the City’s direction, notify the surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the Claim. The Contractor shall notify the City or the Claimant. The City shall make the final determination of whether
to pay or dispute the Contractor’s Claim.
B. If a Claim has been resolved, the Contractor shall prepare or obtain appropriate documentation.

If a Claim has not been resolved, the party making the Claim shall, within ten days (10) after the Contractor preliminary response, take one or more of the following actions: 1) submit additional supporting data requested by the Contractor; 2) modify the initial Claim; or 3) notify the Contractor that the initial Claim remains valid.
D. The Contractor shall notify the parties in writing of the City's decision within seven days of receipt of: 1) additional supporting data; 2) a request to modify the initial Claim; or 3) that the initial Claim stands and the City’s decision shall be final and binding on the parties but subject to review by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Contractor shall
prepare or obtain appropriate documentation regarding the Claim. If there is a surety and
there appears to be a possibility of a Contractor's default, the Contractor may, at the City’s direction, but is not obligated to, notify the surety and request the surety's assistance in resolving the controversy.
48
38.3 All claims, counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question between City and Contractor arising out of, relating to or pertaining to this Agreement, the breach of it, the services
of it, or the standard of performance required in it, shall be addressed by resort to non-binding
mediation as authorized under the laws and rules of Florida; provided, however, that in the event of any dispute between the parties, the parties agree to first negotiate with each other for a resolution of the matter or matters in dispute and, upon failure of such negotiations to resolve the dispute, the parties shall resort to mediation.
39. Venue; Fees. 39.1 If mediation is unsuccessful, any such matter may be determined by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction in Broward County, Florida, or the Federal District Court of the
Southern District of Florida and appropriate appellate courts for such venue and jurisdiction. To
be clear, should mediation fail, all claims, counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question between City and Contractor arising out of, relating to or pertaining to this Agreement, or the breach of it, or the services of it, or the standard of performance required in it, shall be addressed by resort to non-binding mediation as authorized under the laws and rules of Florida. IN ANY
LITIGATION, THE PARTIES AGREE TO EACH WAIVE ANY TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY AND ALL ISSUES. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL AGREEMENT TERM. 39.2 Operations During Dispute. In the event that a dispute arises between the City and the

Agreement and each such exhibit is incorporated by this reference. 44. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of it to any person or situation shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement,
and the application of such provisions to persons or situations other than those as to which it shall
have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, shall continue in full force and effect, and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

45. All Prior Agreements Superseded. This document incorporates and includes all prior negotiations, correspondence, conversations, agreements and understandings applicable to the
matters contained in this Agreement and the parties agree that there are no commitments,
agreements or understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement that are not contained in this document. Accordingly, it is agreed that no deviation from the terms of this Agreement shall be predicated upon any prior representations or agreements, whether oral or written.
46. Independent Contractors. Contractor, any Subcontractors and their respective employees and agents shall be and remain independent Contractors and not employees of City with respect to all of the acts and services performed under the terms of this Agreement.

to expend money, incur any liability, or enter into any Agreement which, by its terms, involves
the expenditure of money in excess of the amounts budgeted as available for expenditure during such fiscal year and that any Agreement, verbal or written, made in violation of this subsection is null and void and that consequently, no money may be paid on such Agreement beyond such limits. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the making
of contracts for periods exceeding one (1) year, but any Agreement so made shall be executory
only for the value of the services to be rendered or agreed to be paid for in succeeding fiscal years. Contractor shall not proceed with services under this Agreement without City’s written verification that the funds necessary for Contractor compensation and other necessary expenditures are budgeted as available within the appropriate fiscal year budget.

B. Bid security may be in the form of a cashier's check payable to the City of Dania Beach and drawn on a
Florida bank, or a Bid Bond (see attachments) issued by a surety meeting the qualifications stated in
these Instructions to Bidders. Cashier’s checks must be received by the Procurement Division before the
bid submission deadline at the address noted on the title page. Bonds shall be submitted on the forms
provided by the Owner. Bonds shall be returned subsequent to award of the Agreement by the City
Commission and execution by the successful Bidder and the appropriate City officials. If the Bidder fails
to submit the required executed agreement within fourteen (14) calendar days after an award, the Bidder
agrees that the City may retain the bid security deposit as the City’s liquidated damages.

24
C. Failure of the successful Bidder to execute an Agreement, to furnish Performance and Payment Bonds
when required, and to furnish Certificates of Insurance in the minimum amounts specified in the Bid
shall be just cause for the rescission of the agreement award and the retention of the Bid Security deposit
by the Owner. Such retention shall be considered not as a penalty, but as liquidation of the claims of the
Owner for damages it sustained, which are not otherwise readily ascertainable. Award may then be
made to the next ranked Bidder, or all Bids may be rejected.
3.3 FLORIDA TRENCH SAFETY ACT
The Bidder shall include with its Bid, when applicable, all documentation required by the Florida "Trench
Safety Act", Section 553.63, Florida Statutes. The unit prices and total prices presented in the Bid, and those

are opened, and a Bid may be rejected for any one or more of (but not limited to) the following reasons:
Determination of a lack of competency as may be revealed by qualification statements, financial
statements, experience records or other information disclosed to Owner by other sources.
DIRECTIONAL BORING AND ELECTRICAL UTILITY INSTALLATION, PHASE III Invitation To Bid (“ITB”) No. 25-019

4. SCOPE OF WORK
4.1 SCOPE
A. The City of Dania Beach, Florida (the “City” or “Owner”), is actively seeking bids from qualified
Contractors (the “Contractor”), for a project known as “DIRECTIONAL BORING AND
ELECTRICAL UTILITY INSTALLATION, PHASE III”. The scope of work for Phase 3B includes
construction activities across two (2) medians located along Dania Beach Boulevard, specifically
consisting of the 7th and 8th medians east of US-1. These medians are combined and are situated south
of Seamen Street at 601 E Dania Beach Boulevard. The 7th median was previously approved under
FDOT permit number 2022-H-491-00275.The project includes the installation of pedestal service
panels, conduits, wiring, and receptacles on the pedestals. All construction and installation work must
adhere strictly to the FDOT 2023-2024 Design Manual and applicable guidelines.The contractor shall be
fully responsible for restoring all disturbed areas during construction, including but not limited to

proposed routing and installation details for the directional bore, which is conceptually shown in the
contract documents. Bidders must include any anticipated changes related to HDPE conduit routing,
trenching, additional conduit lengths, etc., within their proposal.As an alternate method, contractors may
elect to use directional boring within the medians for conduit installation in lieu of trenching, provided
all work remains compliant with the design intent and FDOT standards
B. By submitting a bid, the Bidder acknowledges that he, she, or it is familiar with the scope of services
prior to submitting a bid. Failure of a Bidder to be familiar with the requirements of the Project Work
does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for completion of all required services for the
Project.
C. It shall also be the Bidder's responsibility to visit the proposed Project Site to become thoroughly
familiar with the nature and extent of the Work to be performed and all local existing site conditions,
and to make his or her own estimate of the facilities and difficulties attending the execution of the Work;
no allowance shall be made by the Owner for the Bidder's failure to do so.
D. Bids will be considered if submitted by qualified Contractors who or which have experience, including
similar previous work in the provision of the requested services. Contractors offering full service will
receive the highest consideration.
E. Applicants should include the following items in the submitted Bid:
1. Letter of Transmittal;
2. Anticipated time line to begin delivery of services;
3. A breakdown of the costs for the delivery of services described above.
4. Résumés of key personnel who will actually be assigned to the Project Work and a description of the

d. Name of contact person and contact information with the entity who can knowledgeably discuss
your company’s performance.

cost per hour; and
8. Any other information that the Contractor feels is relevant to assist the City in evaluating
Contractor’s qualifications.
9. The City intends to award an agreement to the lowest, responsive, responsible Bidder for the
requested services specified in the ITB, taking into consideration experience, staffing, equipment,
materials, references and past performance. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to
waive any informality in a bid and to make an award in the best interests of the City. In case of
disputes in the award of the agreement, the decision of the City shall be final and binding on both
parties.
10. If the Bidder to whom or to which an award is made fails to enter into an agreement, the award may
be annulled and the agreement offered to the next most qualified Bidder or to the Bidder which
offered the next lowest, responsive and responsible bid in the opinion of the City. THE
CONTRACTOR AND ANY SUBCONTRACTOR(S) SHALL NOT COMMENCE WORK ON
THE PROJECT UNTIL AN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN FULLY EXECUTED BY BOTH
PARTIES.

received by the Owner in settlement of insurance or other claims for damages to
which the Contractor is entitled,reduced by all valid and proper payments made
to or on behalf of the Contractor under the Construction Contract.
(B)Construction Contract:The agreement between the Owner and the Contractor
identified on the signature page,including all Contract Documents and changes to
them.
(C)Contractor Default:Failure of the Contractor,which failure has neither been

(D)Owner Default:Failure of the Owner,which failure has neither been remedied
nor waived,to pay the Contractor as required by the Construction Contract or to

2.The Contractor and the Surety,jointly and severally bind themselves,their heirs,
executors,administrators,successors and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the
Construction Contract,which is incorporated into this document by this reference.
3.If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract,the Surety and the Contractor shall
have no obligation under this Bond,except to participate in conferences.
4.If there is no Owner Default,the Surety's obligation under this Bond shall arise after:
(A)The Owner has notified the Contractor and the Surety at its address described in
paragraph ten (10)below that the Owner is considering declaring a Contractor
Default and has requested and attempted to arrange a conference with the
Contractor and the Surety to be held not later than fifteen (15)calendar days after
receipt of such notice to discuss methods of performing the Construction
Contract.If the Owner,the Contractor and the Surety agree,the Contractor shall
be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract,but such an
agreement shall not waive the Owner's right,if any,to subsequently declare a
Contractor Default;and
(B)The Owner has declared a Contractor Default and formally terminated the
Contractor's right to complete the Contract.Such Contractor Default shall not be
declared earlier than twenty (20)calendar days after the Contractor and the Surety
have received;and
(C)The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price to the Surety in
accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract or to a Contractor selected
to perform the Construction Contract in accordance with the terms of the Contract
with the Owner.
5.When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of paragraph 4,the Surety shall promptly
and at the Surety's expense take one of the following actions:
(A)Arrange for the Contractor,with consent of the Owner,to perform and complete
the Construction Contract;or
(B)Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself,through its
agents or through independent contractors;or
(C)Obtain bids or negotiated Bids from qualified Contractors acceptable to the
Owner for a Contract for performance and completion of the Construction
Contract,arrange for a Contract to be prepared for execution by the Owner and
the Contractor selected with the Owner's concurrence,to be secured with
performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified Surety equivalent to the
bonds issued on the Construction Contract,and pay to the Owner the amount of
damages as described in paragraph six (6)in excess of the Balance of the Contract
Price incurred by the Owner resulting from the Contractor's default;or
(D)Waive its right to perform and complete,arrange for completion,or obtain a new
Contractor acceptable to the Owner and with reasonable promptness under the
circumstances:
1.After investigation,determine the amount for which it may be liable to the
Owner and,as soon as practicable after the amount is determined,tender
payment therefor to the Owner;or
2.Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner citing reasons
therefor.
6.If the Surety does not proceed as provided in paragraph four (4)with reasonable
promptness,the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond fifteen (15)calendar
days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding
that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond,and the Owner shall be entitled to
enforce any remedy available to the Owner.If the Surety proceeds,on in part,without
further notice,the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.
7.After the Owner has terminated the Contractor's right to complete the Construction
Contract,and if the Surety elects to act,then the responsibilities of the Surety to the
Owner shall not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract,
and the responsibilities of the Owner to the Surety shall not be greater than those of the
Owner under the Construction Contract.To the limit of the amount of this Bond,but
subject to commitment by the Owner of the Balance of the Contract Price to mitigation of
costs and damages on the Construction Contract, the Surety is obligated without
duplication for:
(A) The responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and
completion of the Construction Contract;
(B) Additional legal, design professional and delay costs resulting from the
Contractor's Default, and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety
under paragraph 4; and
(C) Liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the
Construction Contract, actual damages caused by delayed performance or
non-performance of the Contractor.
Liquidated Damages
Time is of the essence regarding this Invitation to Bid Construction and the work
contemplated hereunder and the City may suffer financial loss and inconvenience if the
work is not completed to the satisfaction of the City by the time stipulated in the
Contract. Therefore, failure to timely complete the work shall result in the awarded
Bidder being subject to liquidated damages, but not as penalty, in the amount of
$500.00 per calendar day, as set forth in 23 CFR 635.127, for each and every calendar
day the work remains incomplete or the items remain undelivered. As compensation due
the City for loss of use and for additional costs incurred by the City due to such
non-completion of the work, the City shall have the right to deduct the liquidated
damages from any amount due, or that may become due to the awarded Bidder under the
Contract, or to invoice the awarded Bidder for such damages if the costs incurred exceed
the amount due to the awarded Bidder. The awarded Bidder and the City agree that the
amount for liquidated damages is not punitive, and is intended to compensate the City
for difficult to quantify losses.
8. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that
are unrelated to the Construction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not
be reduced or set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action
shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs,
executors, administrators or successors.
9. The Surety waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction
Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders and other obligations.
10. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be instituted in any court of
competent jurisdiction in the location in which the work or part of the work is located and
shall be instituted within two years after Contractor Default or within two (2) years after
the Contractor ceased working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to
perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this
paragraph are void or prohibited by law,the minimum period of limitation available to
sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of the suit shall be applicable.
11.Notice to the Surety,the Owner or the Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the
address shown on the first page of this document.
12.When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement
in the location where the construction was to be performed,any provision in this Bond
conflicting with such statutory or legal requirement shall be deemed deleted from this
document and provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be
deemed incorporated into it.The intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory
bond and not as a common law bond.
