The City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to order the Contractor to send a worker home for the day or to discharge a worker for his or her failure to comply with safe practices, with which order the Contractor shall promptly comply. 13 19.16.5 The Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, the City's Representative and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees and assigns, harmless from and against any and all liability, public or private, penalties, contractual or otherwise, losses, damages, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, causes of action, claims or judgments to the extent resulting from any failure of the Contractor, its subcontractors or sub-subcontractors or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, to comply with the provisions of this General Condition 19.16.6 In any and all claims against those indemnified hereunder by any employee of the Contractor, any subcontractor or sub-subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under this Paragraph shall not be limited in any way to any limit(s) on the amount or type of damage, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or any subcontractor or sub- subcontractor under any workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. 19.17 Protection Of Work And Property; Responsibility For Loss. The Contractor shall, throughout the performance of the Agreement, maintain adequate and continuous protection of all completed Work and temporary facilities against loss or damage from whatever cause, shall protect the property of the City and third parties from loss or damage from whatever cause arising out of the performance of the Agreement and shall comply with the requirements of the City and its insurance carriers and with all applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations with respect to the prevention of loss or damage to the property. The City, their representatives or insurance carriers may, but shall not be required to, make periodic patrols of the Job Site as a part of its normal safety, loss control and security programs. In such event, however, the Contractor shall not be relieved of its aforesaid responsibilities and the City shall not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any responsibility otherwise imposed upon the Contractor by this Agreement. Until final acceptance of the Work by the City the Contractor shall have full and complete charge and care of and, except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall bear all risk of loss of, and injury or damage to, the Work or any portion thereof from any cause within Contractor’s reasonable control, except to the extent caused by City, its representatives, or contractors, or caused by natural disaster, criminal activity, flood, fire, or that is covered by any property or builder’s risk insurance carried by the City. 19.18 Emergencies. In any emergency affecting the safety of persons or property, or in the event of a claimed violation of any federal or state safety or health law or regulation, arising out of or in any way connected with the Work or its performance, the Contractor shall act immediately to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss to remedy said violation, whichever is applicable. Failure by Contractor to take necessary emergency action shall entitle the City to take whatever action it deems reasonably necessary, including, but not limited to, suspending the Work. The City may offset any and all costs or expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees, paid or incurred by the City in taking such emergency action against any sums then or thereafter due to the Contractor. The Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City harmless against any and all costs or expenses pursuant to this Section, by whomsoever incurred. 14 19.19 City's Standards. The City reserves the right, but assumes no duty, to establish and enforce standards, and to change the same from time to time, for the protection of persons and property, with which the Contractor shall comply, and to review the efficacy of all protective measures taken by the Contractor. The exercise of or failure to exercise any or all of these rights by the City shall not relieve the Contractor of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, and the City shall not thereby assume, nor be deemed to have assumed, any such duties or responsibilities of the Contractor. 19.20 Progress. Contractor shall give City full information in advance as to its plans for performing each part of the Work. If at any time during the progress of work, Contractor's actual progress is inadequate to meet the requirements of the Agreement, City may so notify Contractor who shall thereupon take such steps as may be necessary to improve its progress. If within a reasonable period as determined by City, Contractor does not improve performance to meet the 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. Failure of Contractor to comply with the reasonable instructions of City may be grounds for determination by City that Contractor is not prosecuting its work with such diligence as will assure completion within times specified. Upon such determination, City may terminate Contractor's right to proceed with the performance of the Agreement, or any separable part thereof, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. 19.21 Changes City may, at any time, without invalidating the Agreement and without notice to the Surety(ies), make changes in the Work by issuing Change Orders, as well as Contingency Fund Change Orders addressed elsewhere in the Agreement Documents. City will issue written orders to Contractor for any changes, except that in the event of an emergency which City determines immediately endangers life or property, City may issue oral orders to Contractor for any work required by reason of such emergency. Such orders will be confirmed in writing as soon as practicable. Such orders, whether written or oral, may be accompanied by drawings and data as are necessary to show the extent of such ordered work. Contractor shall commence such changed work so that all dates set forth in Contractor's current construction schedule, as accepted by City, will be met. In the event of an emergency which City determines immediately endangers life or property, Contractor shall immediately commence such changes as required by City in order to mitigate or remove the emergency condition. Failure to commence any such change in timely fashion shall entitle City to invoke the provisions of “Termination for Cause”. Unless otherwise required, Contractor shall, within twenty-one (21) calendar days following receipt of a written Change request from City, submit in writing to City a Agreement Change Proposal for accomplishing such change, which proposal shall reflect the increase or decrease, if any, in cost to City of performing the change under the Agreement in comparison to what the cost would have been, had such change not been offered. 15 20. Liquidated Damages Liquidated Damages will be assessed. The parties have agreed that since they are unable to ascertain the amount of damages which would be suffered by City as a result of Contractor’s failure to timely complete all Work required by the date set forth above. 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. This payment is considered to be City’s liquidated damages, and it is not a penalty. It shall be assessed against the Contractor until substantial and final completion, respectively, are achieved. 21. Staging of Material in Right-Of- Way: 21.1 Contractor shall provide for all additional lands and access thereto that may be required for temporary construction facilities or storage of materials and equipment. Staging area shall be fenced and screened from public sight. Contractor shall not store material such as pipes, drainage structures and equipment within a right of way without prior approval by the City. Material shall be properly secured and screened neatly and will not remain on right of way for more than a week. All equipment must be stored in a designated staging area. 21.2 Contractor shall remove all excess material and shall clean up and restore the site to its original condition or better. All damage, as a result of work under this Agreement, done to existing structures, pavement, driveways, paved areas, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, shrubbery, grass, trees, fences, walls, utility poles, utility pipe lines, conduits, drains, catch basins, flagstones, rocked graveled or stabilized areas or driveways, and including all obstructions not specifically named in this provision, shall be repaired, or replaced, as determined by the Engineer. Site restoration shall be done in a timely manner as the work progresses. Site restoration work shall be completed on private property within 30 days after being disturbed. 21.3 The Date of Commencement is the date from which the Contract Time is measured and shall be the later of (a) the issuance of all permits required for the Work and (b) the date set forth in the Notice to Proceed. Should the Contractor incur costs prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, any such costs shall be incurred at the Contractor’s risk. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City may reimburse Contractor for actual costs incurred relating to performance and payment bonds and insurance, with submittal of invoices, in the event that City terminates this Agreement for convenience, as provided in the General Conditions. If Contractor fails to commence the Work within one (1) week of the date set forth in the Notice to Proceed, City may terminate the Agreement. 22. Indemnification of City. 22.1 The Contractor shall, in addition to any other obligation, indemnify the City and to the fullest extent permitted by law, protect, defend and hold harmless the City, including its agents, elected officials and employees from and against all claims, actions, liabilities, losses (including economic losses), or costs arising out of any actual or alleged: (A) bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or injury to or destruction of tangible property including the loss of use resulting from such property, or any other damage or loss arising out of or resulting or claimed to have resulted in whole or in part from any 16 actual or alleged act or omission of the Contractor or its Subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable in the performance of the work; (B) any violation of law, statute, ordinance, governmental administrative order, rule, regulation, or infringement of patent, copyright or trademark rights by Contractor or its Subcontractors in the performance of the work; (C) liens and claims made by the Contractor or its Subcontractors; and 22.2 Indemnification for Construction Contracts. In the event that the performance of services under the Agreement is deemed to be a “construction Agreement” pursuant to §725.06, Florida Statutes, as it may be amended from time to time, the following indemnification shall apply: To the fullest extent permitted by Chapter 725, Florida Statutes, as it may be amended, the Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees, and assigns from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs including, but not limited to reasonable attorney fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful misconduct of the Contractor and persons employed or utilized by the Contractor in the performance of the provisions in the Agreement Documents. 23.

The Contractor shall only be entitled to extensions of time for performance as the exclusive and sole remedy for delay. In recognition of the fact that Contractor is not entitled to costs of acceleration arising out of the delays caused by 22 Supporting Contractors, Contractor shall not be required to accelerate its services where delays have resulted from Supporting Contractors, unless the City agrees to compensate Contractor for such accelerated efforts. 26. Public Records Law.

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. 29. 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 unless and until the City terminates the Agreement. Upon a finding of default, the City shall set a reasonable time, 24 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 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. 30. Termination Or Suspension Of Agreement 30.1 Termination By The Contractor: A. The Contractor may terminate the Agreement for non-payment (except for those provisions in this agreement that specifically provide for withholding payment), failure to certify payment, delays of greater than 120 days not caused by Contractor, other material breaches by the City, and if the Work is stopped for a period of thirty (30) days through no act or fault of the Contractor, Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, their agents or employees, or any other persons performing portions of the Work under the Agreement with the Contractor, for any of the following reasons: 1. issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction, and 2. an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency, making material unavailable. B. If one of the above reasons exists, the Contractor may, upon five (5) additional days’ written notice to the City, terminate the Agreement and recover from the City payment for Work performed. 30.2 Termination By The City For Cause: (A) The City may terminate the Agreement if the Contractor: (1) persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers, proper equipment, materials, or fails to adhere to the schedule established as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Agreement; (2) fails to comply with laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction, including City; (3) commits any act or omission that evidences a lack of integrity or honesty or which reflects negatively on the City, including but not limited to the company of its owners, officers and agents being charged with any act of moral turpitude or any environmental violation; 25 (4) fails to obtain or maintain all insurance Coverage required by the Agreement Documents; or (5) otherwise, is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Agreement or Agreement Documents; or (6) One or more of the following circumstances, uncorrected for more than thirty (30) days unless, within the specified 30-day period, Contractor (including its receiver or trustee in bankruptcy) provides to Department adequate assurances, reasonably acceptable to Department, of its continuing ability and willingness to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement: i.

The appointment of a general receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of Contractor’s business or property; and/or iv. An action by Contractor under any state insolvency or similar law for the purpose of its bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation; or (7) If Contractor or its Surety(ies) do(es) not cure such failure within seven (7) calendar days from receipt of notification, or sooner if consideration of safety to persons is involved, or if Contractor or its Surety(ies) fails to provide satisfactory 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 Contractor and necessary to complete the Work. (8) Contractor, and its sureties, shall be liable, jointly and severally, to City for all costs in excess of the Agreement price for such terminated work reasonably and necessarily incurred in the completion of the Work, as adjusted by Change Orders, if any, including cost of administration of any Agreement awarded to others for completion, plus Liquidated Damages. (9) The commitment of any material breach of this Agreement by Contractor, including failure to timely deliver a material deliverable, failure to perform the minimal level of services required for a deliverable, discontinuance of the performance of the work, failure to resume work that has been discontinued within a reasonable time after notice to do so, or abandonment of the Agreement; or (10) Failure to abide by any statutory, regulatory, or licensing requirement, including an entry of an order revoking the certificate of authority granted to the Contractor by a state or other licensing authority; or (11) Failure to pay any and all entities, individuals, and furnishing labor or materials, or failure to make payment to any other entities as required by this Agreement; or (12) Failure to maintain the insurance required by this Agreement. 26 30.3 Upon termination for default, Contractor shall: (a) immediately discontinue work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice and place no further purchase orders or subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the performance of work terminated; (b) inventory, maintain and turn over to City all materials, plant, tools, equipment, and property furnished by Contractor or provided by City for performance of work; (c) promptly obtain cancellation upon terms satisfactory to City of all purchase orders, subcontracts, rentals, or any other agreements existing for performance of the terminated work or assign those agreements to City as directed; (d) cooperate with City in the transfer of information and disposition of work in progress so as to mitigate damages; (e) comply with other reasonable requests from City regarding the terminated work; and (f) continue to perform in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement such portion of work that is not terminated. (g) When the City terminates the Agreement, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is completed and approved by the Engineer of Record. (h) All damages, costs and charges incurred by City shall be deducted from any monies due or which may become due to Contractor. In case the damages and expenses so incurred by City shall exceed the unpaid balance, then Contractor shall be liable and shall pay to City the amount of such excess. 30.4 If, after Notice of Termination or Suspension of Contractor’s right to proceed, it is determined for any reason that Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of City and Contractor shall be the same as if the Notice of Termination had not been issued, pursuant to the Termination for Convenience clause as set forth below. 30.5 Termination 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 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 27 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; (b) Immediately discontinue work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice. (c) Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services, or facilities, other than as may be necessary or required for completion of such portion of work under the Agreement that is not terminated; (d) Promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain cancellation upon terms satisfactory to 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. (m) Any other reasonable costs which can be verified to be incidental to such termination of Work, including demobilization costs. 28 (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. 31. 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. 32. 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 ten (10) 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. 35. 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 29 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; (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. 36. 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. 37. 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 30 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. 38. 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.

Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security's regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension). These regulations restrict awards, sub-awards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in federal assistance programs and activities.

In general, an "excluded" party cannot receive a federal grant award or a contract within the meaning of a "covered transaction," to include sub-awards and subcontracts. This includes parties that receive federal funding indirectly, such as contractors to recipients and sub-recipients.

Although "covered transactions" do not include contracts awarded by the federal government for purposes of the non-procurement common rule and Department of Homeland Security’s implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and sub- recipient.
