charge. Any re -testing required as a result of failure of the prior testing shall also
be at the CONTRACTOR's expense.
(x) Taxes and Governmental Fees - Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement,
CONTRACTOR shall pay all sales, use and other similar taxes and shall -secure
and pay for all permits and governmental fees, licenses and inspections necessary
for proper execution and completion of its obligations hereunder. Should
payment be made by the CITY, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly make
reimbursement to the CITY.
(y) Time is of Vital Importance — It is agreed and understood that time is of vital
importance with respect to the completion date for the Work and all other
provisions of the Contract Documents.
(z) Coordination and Scheduling - The CONTRACTOR shall coordinate its work
with other contractors, the CITY, and utilities to assure orderly and expeditious
progress of the Work. The CONTRACTOR's schedules are subject to the
approval of the CITY, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall
reflect a logical sequence of the various components of work and the anticipated
progress necessary to complete the Work on or before the completion date. Said
schedules shall be submitted prior to the start of the Work and shall be updated
and resubmitted each month with the CONTRACTOR's pay request. The
CONTRACTOR shall complete, in an acceptable manner, all of the Work in the
time stated in the Contract Agreement and any Addenda or Change Orders
thereto.
10. Quality of Equipment and Materials - The Specifications may refer to certain products
by name and catalog number. This is not to be construed as eliminating from
competition other products of equal or better quality by other manufactures where fully
suitable in design. All proposals for substitutions shall be submitted to the CITY in
writing by the CONTRACTOR and not by individual trades or material suppliers. Any
substitutions must be equal or superior to that specified in the Contract and in all cases
the burden of providing adequate proof to the CITY shall rest with the
Page 14 of 26
CONTRACTOR. The CITY, at its sole discretion and judgement, will advise of
approval or disapproval of proposed substitutions in writing within a reasonable time.
The CONTRACTOR shall abide by the CITY's judgement when proposed
substitutions are judged to be unacceptable. The CITY shall receive the full benefit of
any savings in cost involved in any acceptable substitution.
11. Laws to be Observed — The CONTRACTOR shall give all notices and comply with all
Federal, State and local laws, ordinances, permit requirements and regulations in any
manner affecting the conduct of the Work, and all such orders and decrees as enacted
by bodies or tribunals having any jurisdiction or authority over the Work, and shall
indemnify and save harmless the CITY against any expense, claim or liability arising
from, or based on, the violation of any such law, ordinance, regulation, permit
requirements, order or decree, whether by CONTRACTOR or its employees. The
failure of the CONTRACTOR to adhere to any known law or regulation pertaining to
famishing services under this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this
Agreement. The CONTRACTOR shall keep fully informed of all existing and pending
state and national laws and municipal ordinances and regulations in any manner
affecting those engaged or employed in the Work, or in any way affecting the conduct
of tribunals having any jurisdiction or authority over the a same. If any discrepancy or
inconsistency is discovered in the Plans, Specifications, or Contract for this work in
relation to any such law, ordinance, regulations, order or decree, CONTRACTOR shall
forthwith report the same to the CITY in writing. CONTRACTOR shall at all times
himself observe and comply with and cause all its agents, Sub -contractors and
employees to observe and comply with decrees; and shall protect and indemnify the
CITY, its officers, employees and agents against any expense, claim or liability arising
from or based upon violation of any such law, ordinance, regulations, orders or decree,
whether by CONTRACTOR or its employees. All building construction work
alterations, repairs or mechanical installations and appliances connected therewith shall
comply with the applicable building rules and regulations, restrictions and reservations
of record, local ordinances and such other statutory provisions pertaining to this class of
work.
12. General Indemnification — For other and additional good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the CONTRACTOR shall
and does hereby indemnify, hold harmless and defend the CITY of Sebastian, its
officers, agents, officials, representatives and employees against any and all liability,
loss, cost, damages, expenses, claim or actions, or whatever type, including but not
limited to attorney's fees and suit costs, for trial and appeal which the CITY of
Sebastian, its officers, officials, agents, official representatives or employees or any other
person(s) or business entity(ies) who may hereafter sustain, incur or be required to pay,
arising wholly or in part due to any act or omission of CONTRACTOR, its agent(s),
vendors, Sub-contractor(s), representatives, servants, or employees in the execution,
performance or nonperformance or failure to adequately perform CONTRACTOR's
obligations pursuant to this Contract. Nothing is this Agreement shall be construed to
affect in any way CITY's sovereign or other governmental immunity as set forth in
Florida Statute 768.28, or otherwise provided by law.
Page 15 of 26
13. Supervision and Administration:
(a) Review by CITY - All work done shall be subject to the review of the CITY.
Any and all technical questions which may arise as to the quality and
acceptability of materials furnished, Work performed, or Work to be performed,
specification interpretations and all technical questions as to the acceptable
fulfillment of the Contract on the part of the CONTRACTOR shall be
determined by the CITY.
(b) Use of Inspectors - All materials and each part or detail of the Work shall be
subject at all times to review by the CITY. The CITY may appoint Inspectors.
The CONTRACTOR will be held strictly to the true intent of the Specifications
in regard to quality of materials, workmanship, and the diligent execution of the
Contract. Any material furnished under the Specifications is subject to such
inspection. The CITY or Inspectors may give written notice to the
CONTRACTOR of any materials, equipment or Work which does not
satisfactorily meet the Specifications. Any defective Work, whether the result of
poor workmanship, use of defective materials, damaged through carelessness or
from other cause, shall be promptly removed and or corrected by the
CONTRACTOR at the CONTRACTOR's expense. The fact that the CITY may
have previously overlooked such defective Work shall not constitute and
acceptance of any part of it.
(c) Suspension of Work - The CITY shall have the authority to suspend the Work
wholly or in part, for such periods as may be deemed necessary and for whatever
cause, to include but not be limited to, unsuitable weather or such other
conditions as are considered unfavorable for prosecution of the Work, failure on
the part of the CONTRACTOR to carry out the provisions of the Contract or to
supply materials meeting the requirements of the Specifications, or the action of
a governmental agency, by serving written notice of suspension to the
CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR shall not suspend operations under the
provisions of this Paragraph without the CITY's permission.
(d) CITY Correction of Deficiencies - Upon failure of the CONTRACTOR to
perform the work in accordance with the Contract Documents, including any
requirements with respect to the Schedule of Completion, and after five (5) days
written notice to the CONTRACTOR, the CITY may, without prejudice to any
other remedy the CITY may have, correct such deficiencies. The
CONTRACTOR shall be charged all costs incurred to correct deficiencies.
(e) Termination Without Cause by CITY - This Agreement may be terminated by
the CITY without cause provided at least thirty (30) days written notice of such
termination shall be given to the CONTRACTOR. In the event the CITY
without cause abandons, terminates or suspends this Agreement, the
CONTRACTOR shall be compensated for services rendered up to the time of
such termination and any Work completed by the CONTRACTOR shall remain
the property of the CITY. Acceptable materials ordered by the CONTRACTOR
Page 16 of 26
or delivered on the site before the date of cancellation or suspension of the Work
shall be purchased from the CONTRACTOR by the CITY at actual cost and
shall thereupon become the property of the CITY but no allowance will be made
for the CONTRACTOR's anticipated profits.
(f) Termination With Cause by the CITY - In the event of any default by the
CONTRACTOR, the CITY shall have the right and cause to immediately
terminate the Contract upon issuance of written notice of the CITY's intention
to immediately terminate the Contract in ten (10) days to the CONTRACTOR,
stating the cause(s) for such action and the CITY's intention to terminate the
Contract unless the CONTRACTOR cures the cause(s) prior to that time. It
shall be considered a default by the CONTRACTOR whenever
CONTRACTOR shall:
(1) Declare bankruptcy, become insolvent or assign his assets for the benefit
of his creditors.
(2) Disregard or violate the provisions of the Contract Documents or CITY's
written instructions, or fail to prosecute the Work according to the agreed
schedule of completion including extensions thereof.
(3) Fail to provide a qualified superintendent, competent workers or sub-
contractors, or proper materials, or fail to make prompt payment for
same.
(4) In the event of termination for cause, including abandonment or
termination, the CITY may take possession of the Work and of all
materials, tools and equipment thereon and may finish the Work by
whatever methods and means it may select. The CITY may enter into an
agreement with others for the completion of the Work under this
Agreement and the CONTRACTOR shall be held harmless for the work
of others. No further payments shall be due the CONTRACTOR until
the Work is completed and accepted by the CITY. If the unpaid balance
of the contract amount shall exceed the cost of completing the Work
including all overhead costs, CONTRACTOR shall be paid up to the
amount of the excess balance on a quantum merit basis for the actual cost
of materials, tools and equipment that the CITY had taken possession,
but with no allowance made for the CONTRACTOR's anticipated
profits, and for the Work done up to the time of the termination. If the
cost of completing the Work, including other expenses incurred by the
CITY through the CONTRACTOR's default, shall exceed the unpaid
balance, the CONTRACTOR or its Surety shall pay the extra amount to
the CITY.
(g) Cooperation With Other CONTRACTORS - The CITY may let other
contracts in connection with the Work of the CONTRACTOR. The
CONTRACTOR shall cooperate with other CONTRACTORS with regard to
storage of materials and execution of their work. It shall be the
Page 17 of 26
CONTRACTOR's responsibility to inspect all work by other CONTRACTORS
affecting CONTRACTOR's work and to report to the CITY any irregularities
that will not permit completion of Work in a satisfactory manner.
CONTRACTOR's failure to notify the CITY of such irregularities shall indicate
the Work of other CONTRACTORS has been satisfactorily completed. It shall
be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to inspect the completed Work in
place and report to the CITY immediately any difference between completed
Work by others and the Plans. Whenever work being done by the CITY's forces
or by other CONTRACTORS is contiguous to Work covered by the Contract,
the respective rights of the various interests involved shall be established by the
CITY, to secure the completion of the various portions of the Work in general
harmony.
(h) Use of Sub -contractors - Prior to signing the Contract or at the time specified by
the CITY, the CONTRACTOR shall submit in writing to the CITY the names
of the Sub -contractors proposed for the Work. Sub -contractors may not be
changed except at the request or with the approval of the CITY. The
CONTRACTOR is responsible to the CITY for the acts and omissions of its
Sub -contractors and their direct or indirect employees, to the same extent as he is
responsible for the acts and omissions of its employees. The Contract
Documents shall not be construed as creating a contractual relation between any
Sub -contractors and the CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall bind every Sub-
contractor by the terms of the Contract Documents. For convenience of
reference and to facilitate the letting of contracts and subcontracts, the
Specifications are separated into title sections. Such separations shall not,
however, operate to make the CITY an arbiter to establish limits to the Contracts
between the CONTRACTOR and Sub -contractor.
(i) Emergency Work - The CONTRACTOR shall perform any work and shall
famish and install materials and equipment necessary during an emergency
endangering life or property. In all cases, CONTRACTOR shall notify the CITY
of the emergency as soon as practicable, but shall not wait for instructions before
proceeding to properly protect both life and property.
(j) Night or Weekend Work - No night or Saturday and Sunday work will be
permitted, except in case of emergency, or with prior approval from the CITY.
This clause shall not pertain to crews organized to perform restoration work
which needs no verifying inspection, maintenance work on equipment, or to
operate and maintain special equipment such as dewatering pumps which may
be required to work twenty four (24) hours per day. All such night, Saturday
and/or Sunday Work must be authorized by the CITY.
(k) Unauthorized Work - Work done without lines and grades having been
established, work done without proper inspection, or any changes made or extra
work done without written authority will be done at the CONTRACTOR's risk
Page 18 of 26
and will be considered unauthorized, and, at the option of the CITY, may not be
measured and paid for.
(1) Cleaning Up — At all times, the CONTRACTOR shall keep the Work site free
from accumulation of waste materials or rubbish caused by its employees or
Work. At the completion of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall remove all
rubbish, tools, and surplus materials and shall leave the Work "broom clean" or
its equivalent, unless more exactly specified, and shall insure that all debris and
other unsightly objects are removed and disposed of in a satisfactory manner. At
no additional expense to the CITY, the CONTRACTOR will restore to their
original conditions or better, as nearly as practicable, those portions of the Work
site not designated for alteration and all such property, structure, utilities,
landscaping, etc. disturbed or damaged during the prosecution of the Work.
Final payment will be withheld until such clean up and repairs are completed. In
the event the CITY finds that the CONTRACTOR has not complied in keeping
the job site clean, the CITY may, after twenty-four (24) hours written notice to
the CONTRACTOR to correct the situation, elect to have the Work site cleaned
by an independent labor force, with the cost of cleaning deducted from moneys
due the CONTRACTOR.
(m) Use of Completed Portions of Work - The CITY shall have the right to use,
occupy, or place into operation any portion of the Work that has been completed
sufficiently to permit safe use, occupancy, or operation. If such use, occupancy,
or operation increases the cost of or delays the Work, the CONTRACTOR shall
be entitled to extra compensation, or an extension of time, or both as determined
by the CITY. However, if CONTRACTOR has failed to complete the Work in
accordance with the Time requirements of the Agreement, compensation
(including set -offs for liquidated damages) shall be allowed for such use or
occupancy.
(n) CONTRACTOR's Responsibility Until Acceptance - Until acceptance of the
Work by the CITY, it shall be under the charge and care of the
CONTRACTOR, and he shall take every necessary precaution against injury or
damage to the Work by the action of the elements or from any other cause
whatsoever, whether arising from the execution or from the non -execution of the
Work. The CONTRACTOR shall rebuild, repair, restore and make good,
without additional compensation, all injury or damage to any portion of the
Work occasioned by any cause, other than the sole and active negligence of the
CITY, before its completion and acceptance.
14. Extension of Time - No extension of time shall be valid unless given in writing by the
CITY. No monetary compensation shall be given for such delay. A delay beyond the
CONTRACTOR's control occasioned by an "Act of God" may entitle the
CONTRACTOR to an extension of time in which to complete the Work as determined
by the CITY provided, however, the CONTRACTOR shall immediately give written
notice to the CITY of the cause of such delay. "Rain Day" extensions shall be granted
upon written request of the CONTRACTOR to the CITY's Project Manager when said
Page 19 of 26
Project Manager determines that weather conditions make it counterproductive to work
on said days. "Rain Day" request must be submitted at the end of each work week or be
waived, and the cumulative "Rain Day" extensions granted shall be processed as a
Change Order with each pay submittal.
16. Correction of Work and Guarantee - CONTRACTOR shall, at no cost to the CITY,
promptly correct Work failing to conform to requirements of the Contract Documents,
whether observed before or after completion of the Work and whether or not fabricated,
installed or completed, and shall correct any Work found to be not in accordance with
the requirements of the Contract Documents within a period of three (3) years from the
date of completion of the Work or by the terms of an applicable special warranty
required by the Contract Documents. The provisions of this paragraph apply to the
Work done by Sub -contractors as well as to the Work done by direct employees of the
CONTRACTOR. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be construed to establish a
period of limitation with respect to other obligations which the CONTRACTOR might
have under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the time period of three (3) years
as described above relates only to the specific obligation of the CONTRACTOR to
correct the Work, and has no effect on the time within which the obligations of the
Contract Documents may be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may
be commenced to establish CONTRACTOR's liability with respect to the
CONTRACTOR's remaining contractual obligations.
17. Liquidated Damages - In the event the CONTRACTOR violates or fails to perform
any provision of the Contract Documents, then the CITY may elect to receive, and
CONTRACTOR agrees to pay, liquidated damages in the amount of three hundred
dollars ($300) per day beyond the agreed completion date. Inspection of the Work by
the CITY and the subsequent issuance of a notice by the CITY indicating substantial
completion will be the date used to signify work completion. If completion is beyond
the schedule agreed upon, liquidated damages may be imposed by the CITY on the
CONTRACTOR and will be withheld from payment. It is expressly acknowledged by
CONTRACTOR that said payment shall not be interpreted nor construed as a penalty
but is in fact a good faith attempt to fix damages which the CITY will suffer in the event
CONTRACTOR fails to perform as required hereunder or violates any provision of the
Contract Documents.
18. Failure to Require Performance - The failure of any of the parties at any time to require
performance of any provision of the Agreement shall in no manner affect the right of
such party at any later time to enforce or require the same unless waived in writing. No
waiver by any party of any condition or breach shall be construed or deemed to be a
waiver of any other condition or any other breach of any term, covenant or warranty
contained in the Agreement.
19. CONTRACTOR Assurances:
(a) The CONTRACTOR warrants that it has not employed or retained any
company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for the
CONTRACTOR, to solicit or secure this Agreement and that it has not paid or
Page 20 of 26
agreed to pay any person, company, corporation, individual or firm, other than a
bona fide employee working solely for the CONTRACTOR, any fee,
commission, percentage, gift or any other consideration contingent upon or
resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. For the breach or
violation of this paragraph the CITY shall have the right to terminate the
Agreement without liability and, at its discretion, deduct from the Agreement
price, or otherwise recover, the full amount of such fee, commission, percentage,
gift or consideration.
(b) No officers, members or employees of the CITY and no member of its governing
body, and no other public official of the governing body of the CITY, who
exercises any functions or responsibilities in the review or approval of the
undertaking or carrying out of this project, shall participate in any decision
relating to this Agreement which affects such person's personal interest, or have
any personal or pecuniary interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement or the
proceeds thereof.
(c) The CONTRACTOR agrees that no Federal appropriated funds have been paid
or will be paid by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR to any person for
influencing or attempting to influence any officer or employee of any Federal
agency, a member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress or an
employee of a member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any
Federal contract, the making of any Federal Grant, the making of any Federal
loan, the entering into any cooperative agreement and the extension,
continuation, renewal, amendment or modification of any Federal contract,
grant, loan or cooperative agreement. If any funds other than Federal
appropriated funds have been paid by the CONTRACTOR to any person for
influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any Federal
agency, a member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress or an
employee of a member of Congress in connection with this Agreement, the
undersigned shall complete and submit Standard Form — "Disclosure Form to
Report Lobbying" in accordance with its instructions.
(d) The CONTRACTOR covenants that he presently has no interest and shall not
acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which shall conflict in any manner or
degree with the performance of services required to be performed under this
Agreement. The CONTRACTOR further covenants that in the performance of
this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed. The
CONTRACTOR shall not undertake any professional work which conflicts with
his duties as the CITY's CONTRACTOR without the prior written consent of
the CITY during the term of this Agreement. Any Work where the
CONTRACTOR can reasonably anticipate that it may be called to testify as a
witness against the CITY in any litigation or administrative proceeding will
constitute a conflict of interest under this Agreement.
20. Public Entity Crimes - The CONTRACTOR shall have submitted the sworn statement
entitled PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES with the Bid, stating whether a person or affiliate
Page 21 of 26
as defined in Section 287.133 (1) Florida Statutes, has been convicted of a public entity

the limits as set forth below and maintain said insurance during the life of this
Agreement:

24. Bond: The CONTRACTOR shall provide Bonds in the form prescribed by State Law,

the CITY harmless from any and all personal injury or property damage claims,
liabilities, losses or causes of action which may arise out of the use and occupancy of
the property by the CONTRACTOR, its family, associates, Sub -contractors, agents,
employees, customers and attendees. Nothing in this agreement shall be construed as
the CITY waiving its immunity pursuant to §768.28, et seq., Florida Statutes, or any
other sovereign or governmental immunity. The Agreement shall not be construed to
create a contractual relationship of any kind between the CITY and the Sub-
contractor(s), or between any person or firm other than the CITY and
CONTRACTOR.
26. Notices: All notices given under or in connection with any of the Contract Documents
shall be delivered in person or by telegraph or email (confirmed) or registered or

27. No Waiver of Legal Rights — Neither the payment for, nor acceptance of the whole or
any part of the Work by the CITY or representatives of the CITY, nor any extension of
time, nor the withholding of payments, nor any possession taken by the CITY, nor the
termination of employment of the CONTRACTOR shall operate as a waiver of any
portion of the Contract or any power therein reserved or any right therein reserved or
any right therein provided, nor shall the waiver by the CITY of any of the
CONTRACTOR's obligations or duties under this Agreement constitute a waiver of
any other obligation or duty of the CONTRACTOR under this Agreement.
28. Right to Work Product — No reports, data, programs or other material produced in
whole or in part under this Agreement shall be subject to copyright by the
CONTRACTOR, in the United States or in any other country. The CITY or its assigns
