The acceptance by the City shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for deviations from Plans
or Specifications, unless he has called the City's attention, in writing, to such deviations at the time of
submission, nor shall it relieve him from responsibility for errors of any sort in the items submitted. The
Contractor shall check the work described by the catalog data with the Contract Documents for
deviations and errors.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to insure that items to be furnished fit the space available.
He shall make necessary field measurements to ascertain space requirements, including those for
connections, and shall order such sizes and shapes of equipment that the field installation shall suit the
true intent and meaning of the Plans and Specifications.
Where equipment requiring different arrangement of connections from those shown is approved, it shall
be the responsibility of the Contractor to install the equipment to operate properly, and in harmony with
the intent of the Plans and Specifications, and to make all changes in the Work required by the different
arrangement of connections at his own expense.
4.10 SUBSTITUTION OF EQUIPMENT AND /OR MATERIAL

(c) The equipment and /or material proposed for substitution is readily available and its
delivery and use, if approved as a substitution, will not delay the scheduled start and
completion of the specified work for which it is intended or the scheduled completion of
the entire work to be completed under the contract.
No request will be considered unless submitted in writing to the City and approval by the City must also
be in writing. To receive consideration, requests for substitutions must be accompanied by documentary
proof of the actual difference in cost to the Contractor in the form of quotations to the contractor
covering the original equipment and /or material, and also equipment and /or material proposed for
substitution or other proof satisfactory to the City. It is the intention that the City shall receive the full
benefit of the saving in cost involved in any substitution unless the item is substituted for one designated
in the Specifications by specific manufacturer's name and type, in which case one -third of the savings
shall accrue to the benefit of the Contractor.
In all cases, the burden of proving adequate proof that the equipment and /or material offered for
substitution is equal or superior in construction and /or efficiency to that named in the Contract shall rest
on the Contractor and the proof will be submitted to the City. Request for substitution of equipment
and /or material which the Contractor cannot prove to the satisfaction of the City, at its sole discretion and

9.17 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS OF THE 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, as determined by the Engineer.
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 Engineer. However,
if Contractor has failed to complete the Work in accordance with the time requirements of the
Agreement, no compensation (including set -offs to liquidated damages) shall be allowed for such use or
occupancy.
9.18 CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK
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.

Contract by the parties. Upon approval of the breakdown of the contract amount by the Engineer and the
City, it shall be used as the basis for all requests for payment.
10.2 REQUEST FOR PAYMENT
The Contractor may submit to the City not more than once each month a request for payment for work
completed. Where applicable, the Contractor may choose to submit a request for payment at the
substantial completion of each work order. The City may elect to provide its own form for the Contractor

invoice, an updated project schedule shall be submitted.
Each request for payment shall be computed from the work completed to date on all items listed in the
detailed breakdown of the contract amount less previous payments and back charges. Progress payments
on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed at the time the payment
request was dated by the Contractor. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not
incorporated in the project but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in
writing, the payment request shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation
warranty that the City has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens, charges,
security interests and encumbrances, all of which shall be satisfactory to the City. No payments shall be
made for materials stored on site without approval of the City.
An amount of 10% of each monthly pay request shall be retained until final completion and written
acceptance of the Work by the City. Payment of the retainage shall be included in the Contractor's final
pay request in accordance with Paragraph 10.14. Any deviation in the release or partial release of the
10% retainage shall be at the sole discretion of the City, but in no case earlier than completion of the
Engineer's "punch list inspection ".
Any request for payment shall be accompanied by claim releases for work done or materials furnished in
accordance with Paragraph 10.13.
Prior to submission of any request for payment by the Contractor, the Engineer shall review the request
for payment to determine the following:
(a) That the work covered by the request for payment has been completed in accordance with
the intent of the Plans and Specifications.
(b) That the quantities of work have been completed as stated in the request for payment,
whether for a unit price contract or for payment on a lump -sum contract.

the Contractor in writing of the reasons for withholding payment.

The City may withhold payment in whole or in part on a request for payment to the extent necessary for
any of the following reasons:
(a) Work not performed but included in the request for payment, or the contract Price
has been reduced by written change order.
(b) Work covered by the request for payment which is not in accordance with the Plans,
Specifications and generally accepted construction practices, including if, in the opinion
of the City, there is sufficient evidence that the Work has not been satisfactorily
completed, or based upon tests and /or inspections the work is defective or has been
damaged requiring correction or replacement.
(c) In the event of a filing of a claim or lien, or information received by City of a
potential filing of a claim or lien against the Contractor or City.
(d) Failure of the Contractor to make payments to subcontractors, material suppliers
or labor.
(e) Damage to another contractor.
(f) The City has had to correct a defect in the Work, or there are other items entitling

(g) Default of any of the provisions of the Contract Documents.
10.5 PAYMENT FOR UNCORRECTED WORK
Should the City direct, in writing, the Contractor not to correct work that has been damaged or that was
not performed in accordance with the Contract Documents, an equitable deduction from the contract
amount shall be made to compensate the City for the uncorrected work.
10.6 PAYMENT FOR REJECTED WORK AND MATERIALS
The removal of work and materials rejected under Paragraph 5.3 and the re- execution of work by the
Contractor shall be at the expense of the Contractor and the Contractor shall pay the cost of replacing the
destroyed or damaged work of other contractors by the removal of the rejected work or materials and the
subsequent re- execution of that work. In the event that City incurs expenses related thereto, Contractor
shall pay for the same within thirty (30) days after written notice to pay is given by the City. If the
Contractor does not pay the expenses of such removal, after ten (10) days written notice being given by
the City of its intent to sell the materials, the City may sell the materials and shall pay to the Contractor
the net proceeds there from after deducting all the costs and expenses that are incurred by the City.
If the proceeds do not cover the expenses incurred by the City, such additional amounts may be set -off
against any payments due Contractor.
10.7 CHANGES IN THE WORK
A. Change Orders
If conditions require a change in the scope of work or additional work varying from the original Plans or
Specifications, such change shall be effected by the Contractor when the City issues a written Change
Order. The Change Order shall set forth in complete detail the nature of the change, the change in the
compensation to be paid the Contractor and whether it is an addition or a reduction of the original total
contract cost. Should additional or supplemental drawings be required, they will be furnished by the
Engineer. All Change Orders shall address the impact of the change on both Contract Price / Cost and
Contract Time / Schedule.
Compensation to be paid to the Contractor for accomplishing the work of a Change Order shall be
established in one of the following ways:
(a) By lump sum proposed by the Contractor and accepted by the City.
(b) By unit prices established and agreed to.
(c) By unit prices established for additional kinds of work.
(d) By other methods as may be mutually agreed upon.
(e) By force account wherein the Contractor provides the labor and materials at Contractor's
direct cost plus 15% for overhead and profit. When the force account method is used, the
Contractor shall provide full and complete records of all costs for review by the City.
B. Claims
Claims arising from changes or revisions made by the Contractor at the City's request shall be presented
to the City before work starts on the changes or revisions. If the Contractor deems that extra
compensation is due for work not covered herein, or in Supplemental Agreement, the Contractor shall
notify the City in writing of its intention to make claim for extra compensation before work begins on
which the claim is based. If such notification is not given and the City is not afforded by the Contractor a
method acceptable to the City for keeping strict account of actual cost, then the Contractor hereby waives
its request for such extra compensation. The City is not obligated to pay the Contractor if the City is not
notified as described above. The Contractor may refuse to perform additional work requested by the City
until an appropriate agreement is executed by the parties. Such notice by the Contractor and the fact that
the City has kept account of the costs as aforesaid shall not in any way be construed as proving the
validity of the claim.
10.8 CANCELED ITEMS OF WORK
The City shall have the right to cancel those portions of the contract relating to the construction of any
item provided therein. Such cancellation, when ordered by the City in writing, shall entitle the Contractor
to the payment of a fair and equitable amount covering all costs incurred by Contractor pertaining to the
canceled items before the date of cancellation or suspension of the Work. The Contractor shall be
allowed a profit percentage on the materials used and on construction work actually done, at the same
rates as provided for "Changes in the Work ", but no allowance will be made for anticipated profits.
Acceptable materials ordered by the Contractor or delivered on the site before the date of such
cancellation or suspension shall be purchased from the Contractor by the City at actual cost and shall
thereupon become the property of the City.
10.9 PAYMENT FOR WORK SUSPENDED BY THE CITY

Contractor will then be entitled to payment for all work done except as provided in Paragraph 10.4.

Contractor, 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 meruit basis for the work done prior to
termination. If the cost of completing the Work shall exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor or its
Surety shall pay the difference to the City. The cost incurred by the City as herein provided shall include

shall certify completion of the Work to the City. At that time, the Contractor may submit the Contractor's
final request for payment. The Contractor's final request for payment shall be the contract amount plus all
approved written additions less all approved written deductions and less previous payments made. As a
condition for Final payment, a Contractor's Final Affidavit must be received by the City along with his
Final Payment Request and any as -built drawings which may be required. The Contractor shall furnish

any legal rights of the City, required guarantees and satisfaction of all warranty work, and shall authorize
payment of the Contractor's final request for payment.
