ARTICLE n - Performance
4.0 PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND RELATED DATA
4.1 INTENT OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The intent of the Plans, Specifications, Work Orders and other Contract Documents is
that the Contractor furnishes all labor and materials, equipment, supervision and
transportation necessary for the proper execution of the Work unless specifically noted
otherwise. The Contractor shall do all the work shown on the Plans and described in the
Specifications and other Contract Documents and all incidental work considered
necessary to substantially complete the Work ready for use, occupancy, or operation in a
manner acceptable to the City.
4.2 CONFLICT
In the event of any inconsistency, discrepancy or conflict between the Agreement, the

provisions, plans, and cited standards or FAA circulars; general contract provisions shall
govern over plans, and cited standards or FAA circulars; and plans shall govern over
cited standards or FAA circulars.
4.3 DISCREPANCIES IN PLANS
Any discrepancies found between the Plans and Specifications and site conditions, or any
errors or omissions in the Plans or Specifications, shall be immediately reported to the
Engineer and City. The Engineer shall promptly determine the validity and seriousness
of the claimed condition and correct any such error or omission in writing, or otherwise
direct Contractor. Any work done by the Contractor after his discovery of such
discrepancies, errors or omissions shall be done at the Contractor's risk.
Any correction or errors or omissions in Plans and Specifications may be made by the
Engineer when such correction is necessary for the proper fulfillment of their intention as
construed by him. Where said correction of errors or omissions, except as provided in the
next two (2) paragraphs below, adds to the amount of work to be done by the Contractor,
compensation for said additional work shall be made under the Paragraph 10.7
CHANGES IN THE WORK below, except where the additional work may be classed
under some item of work for which a unit price is included in the proposal.
The fact that specific mention of any part of work is omitted in the Specifications,
whether intentionally or otherwise, when the same is clearly shown or indicated on the
Plans, or is usually and customarily required to complete fully such work as is specified
11
herein, will not entitle the Contractor to consideration in the matter of any claim for extra
compensation, but the said work must be installed or done the same as if called for by
both the Plans and Specifications.
All work indicated on the Plans and not mentioned in the Specifications or vice versa,
and all work and material usual and necessary to make the Work complete in all its parts,
whether or not they are indicated on the Plans or mentioned in the Specifications, shall be
furnished and executed the same as if they were called for by both the Plans and
Specifications.
The Contractor will not be allowed to take advantage of any errors or omissions in the
Plans and Specifications. The Engineer will provide full information when errors or
omissions are discovered.
4.4 DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICA TIONS AT JOB SITE
One (1) complete set of all Plans, Specifications, Work Orders, Addenda, Change Orders,
Shop Drawings and samples shall be maintained at the job site, in good order and
annotated to show all changes made during the construction process, and shall be
available to the Engineer and City at all times. A final copy thereof, along with "as-built"
record drawings, operations and maintenance manuals, and data sheets, shall be delivered
to the Engineer upon the completion of the Work.
4.5 DIMENSIONS
Dimensions shown on the Plans will be used. Where the work of the Contractor is
affected by finished dimensions, these shall be verified by the Contractor at site, and he
shall assume the responsibility for their use.
4.6 SAMPLING AND TESTING
Except as otherwise provided, sampling and testing of all materials, and the laboratory
methods and testing equipment, required under the Specifications shall be in accordance
with the latest standards or tenets of the American Society for Testing Materials.
The testing of samples and materials shall be made at the expense of the Contractor,
except where indicated otherwise. The Contractor shall furnish any required samples
without charge. The Contractor shall be given sufficient notification of the placing of
orders for materials to permit testing.
As an exception to the above, when the Contractor represents a material or an item of
work as meeting Specifications and under recognized test procedures it fails, any re-
testing shall be at the Contractor's expense, billed at the Testing Laboratory's standard
rate for individual tests.
12
It is expected that all inspections and testing of materials and equipment will be done
locally. If the Contractor desires that inspections for tests be made outside of the local
area, all expenses, including per diem for the Engineer or Inspectors, shall be borne by
the Contractor.
4.7 SHOP DRAWINGS
The Contractor shall provide shop drawings, setting schedules and other drawings as may
be necessary for the prosecution of the Work in the shop and in the field as required by
the Plans and Specifications or Engineer's instructions. Deviations from the Plans and
Specifications shall be called to the attention of the City at the time of the first
submission of shop drawings and other drawings. The City's approval of any shop
drawings shall not release the Contractor from responsibility for errors, corrections of
details, or conformance with the Contract. Shop drawings shall be submitted according to
the following schedule:
(a) Three (3) copies shall be submitted to the City at least thirty (30) days
before the materials indicated thereon are to be needed or earlier if required to prevent
delay of work or to comply with subparagraph (b).
(b) The City shall, within fourteen (14) days of the submittal of any shop
drawings, retum two (2) copies to the Contractor marked with any corrections and
changes required and noting if the drawings are acceptable as noted, or if resubmittal is
required.
( c) The Contractor shall then correct the shop drawings to conform to the
corrections and changes requested by the City and resubmit three (3) copies to the City.
(d) Two (2) copies of Approved Shop Drawings shall be returned to the
Contractor by the City.
4.8 QUALITY OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS
In order to establish standards of quality, the Specifications may refer to certain products
by name and catalog number. This procedure is not to be construed as eliminating from
competition other products of equal or better quality by other manufacturers where fully
suitable in design.
The Contractor shall furnish to the City a complete list of his proposed desired
substitutions prior to the signing of the Contract, together with such engineering and
catalog data as the City may require. Further substitutions may be submitted during the
course of work in accordance with Paragraph 4.10 SUBSTITUTION OF EQUIPMENT
AND/OR MATERIAL below.
13
The Contractor shall abide by the City's judgment when proposed substitution of
materials or items or equipment are judged to be unacceptable and shall furnish the
specified material or item of equipment in such case. All proposals for substitutions shall
be submitted to the City in writing by the Contractor and not by individual trades or
material suppliers. The City will advise of approval or disapproval of proposed
substitutions in writing within a reasonable time. No substitute materials shall be used
unless approved by City in writing.
4.9 EQUIPMENT APPROVAL DATA
The Contractor shall furnish one (1) copy of complete catalog data for every
manufactured item of equipment and all components to be used in the Work, including
specific performance data, material description, rating, capacity, material gauge or

The 1989 Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 458 creating Sections 287.132 -
133, Florida Statutes, effective July 1, 1989. Section 287.132(3)(d), Florida Statutes,
requires the Florida Department of General Services to maintain and make available to
other political entities a "convicted vendor" list consisting of persons and affiliates who
are disqualified from public contracting and purchasing process because they have been
found guilty of a public entity crime. A public entity crime is described by Section
287.133, Florida Statutes, as a violation of any State or Federal law by a person with
respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity in
Florida or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the United
States, including, but not limited to, any bid or contract for goods or services to be
provided to any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision and involving

misrepresentation.
By law no public entity shall accept any bid from, award any contract to, or
transact any business in excess of the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017,
Florida Statutes, for category two with any person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list
for a period of 36 months from the date that person or affiliate was placed on the
convicted vendor list unless that person or affiliate has been removed from the list
pursuant to Section 287. 133(3)(f), Florida Statutes.
Therefore, effective October I, 1990, prior to entering into a contract (formal
contract or purchase order in excess of the threshold amount for category two) to provide
goods or services to THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, a person shall file a sworn statement
with the contracting officer or Purchasing Director, as applicable. The attached statement
