performance of the Work;
c. Become familiar with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations
affecting performance of the Work; and

may be encountered in the execution of the Work pursuant to these Bidding Documents as a
result of failure to make the necessary examinations and investigations shall be accepted as an
excuse for any failure or omission on the part of the Successful Bidder, nor shall they be
accepted as a basis for any claims whatsoever for extra compensation or for an extension of
time.
9.2 The Owner will make copies of surveys and reports performed in conjunction with this
Project available to any Bidder requesting them at cost; provided, however, the Owner does not

Section 10. Material Requirements
It is the intention of these Bidding Documents to identify standard materials. When space is

stated in the Bid Schedule as set forth in the Bidding Documents. Said unit prices shall be
multiplied by the bid quantities for the total Bid price. Any Bid not conforming to this requirement
may be rejected. Special attention to all Bidders is called to this provision, because if conditions
make it necessary or prudent to revise the unit quantities, the unit prices will be fixed for such
increased or decreased quantities. Compensation for such additive or subtractive changes in
the quantities shall be limited to the unit prices in the Bid. Subsequent to the issuance of a
notice to proceed, the Project Manager and the Successful Bidder shall have the discretion to
re-negotiate any unit price(s) where the actual quantity varies by more than twenty-five percent
(25%) from the estimate at the time of bid.
11.2 Alternate Bid Pricing: In the event that alternate pricing is requested, it is an expressed
requirement of the bid invitation to provide pricing for all alternates as listed. The omission of a
response or a no-bid or lack of a submitted price may be the basis for the rejection of the
submitted bid response.

invitation (including the form of the bid documents or bid procedures) shall file their protest with

then current purchasing ordinance and policies.
12.2 Statement of Award: The Award of Contract shall be issued to the lowest, responsive
and qualified Bidder determined by the base bid, and any, or all, selected alternates, and the
Owner's investigations of the Bidder. In determining the lowest, responsive and qualified bidder,
the Owner shall consider the capability of the Bidder to perform the contract in a timely and
responsible manner. When the contract is awarded by Owner, such award shall be evidenced

public session. Any actual or prospective bidder who desires to formally protest the

Director within two (2) calendar days (excluding weekends and holidays) of the date that the
recommended award is posted. Upon filing of said notice, the protesting party will have five (5)

ordinance and policies. A copy of the purchasing ordinance is available at
http://www.coiliergov.net/Index.aspx?paqe=762.
12.4 For Bidders who may wish to receive copies of Bids after the Bid opening, The Owner
reserves the right to recover all costs associated with the printing and distribution of such
copies.

607.1501)

State Divisions of Corporations in accordance with the requirements of Florida Statute 607.1501

document number shall be identified. Firms who do not provide the certificate of authority at the
time of response shall be required to provide same within five (5) days upon notification of
selection for award. If the firm cannot provide the document within the referenced timeframe, the
County reserves the right to award to another firm.
Section 13. Sales Tax
13.1 The Successful Bidder acknowledges and agrees that Owner may utilize a sales tax

Section 14. Exclusion of County Permits in Bid Prices
14.1 To ensure compliance with Section 218.80, F.S., otherwise known as "The Public Bid
Disclosure Act", Collier County will pay the Contractor for all Collier County permits and fees
applicable to the Project, including license fees, permit fees, impact fees or inspection fees
applicable to this Work through an internal budget transfer(s). Hence, bidders shall not include
these permit/fee amounts in their bid offer. However, the Successful Bidder shall retain the
responsibility to initiate and complete all necessary and appropriate actions to obtain the
required permits other than payment for the items identified in this section. Owner will not be
obligated to pay for any permits obtained by Subcontractors.
14.2 The Successful Bidder shall be responsible for procuring and paying for all necessary
permits not issued by Collier County pursuant to the prosecution of the work.
Section 15. Use of Subcontractors
15.1 To ensure the Work contemplated by the Contract Documents is performed in a
professional and timely manner, all Subcontractors performing any portion of the work on this
Project shall be "qualified" as defined in Collier County Ordinance 2013-69, meaning a person
or entity that has the capability in all respects to perform fully the Agreement requirements and
has the integrity and reliability to assure good faith performance. A Subcontractor's
disqualification from bidding by the Owner, or other public contracting entity within the past
twelve months shall be considered by the Owner when determining whether the Subcontractors
are "qualified."
15.2 The Owner may consider the past performance and capability of a Subcontractor when
evaluating the ability, capacity and skill of the Bidder and its ability to perform the Agreement
within the time required. Owner reserves the right to disqualify a Bidder who includes
Subcontractors in its bid offer which are not "qualified" or who do not meet the legal
requirements applicable to and necessitated by this Agreement.
15.3 The Owner may reject all bids proposing the use of any subcontractors who have been
disqualified from submitting bids to the Owner, disqualified or de-certified for bidding purposes
by any public contracting entity, or who has exhibited an inability to perform through any other
means.
15.4 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, the Bidder shall
identify the subcontractor(s) it intends to use for the categories of work as set forth in the List of
Subcontracts attached hereto, said list to be submitted with its bid. Bidders acknowledge and
agree that the subcontractors identified on the list is not a complete list of the subcontractors to
be used on the Project, but rather only the major subcontractors for each category of Work as
established by Owner. Bidders further acknowledge that once there is an Award of Contract,
the Successful Bidder shall identify, subject to Owner's review and approval, all the
subcontractors it intends to use on the Project. Once approved by Owner, no subcontractor
shall be removed or replaced without Owner's prior written approval.
Section 16. Prohibition of Gifts
No organization or individual shall offer or give, either directly or indirectly, any favor, gift, loan,
fee, service or other item of value to any County employee, as set forth in Chapter 112, Part Ill,

firm from doing business with the County for a specified period of time, including but not limited
to: submitting bids, RFP, and/or quotes; and, c. immediate termination of any contract held by
the individual and/or firm for cause.
Section 17. Lobbying
All firms are hereby placed on NOTICE that the Board of County Commissioners does
not wish to be lobbied, either individually or collectively about a project for which a firm
has submitted a response.
Firms and their agents are not to contact members of the County Commission for such
purposes as meeting or introduction, luncheons, dinners, etc. During the process, from
solicitation closing to final Board approval, no firm or their agent shall contact any other
employee of Collier County in reference to this solicitation, or the vendor's response, with the
exception of the Procurement Director or his designee(s). Failure to abide by this provision may
serve as grounds for disqualification for award of this contract to the firm.
Section 18. Public Entity Crimes
By its submitting a Bid, Bidder acknowledges and agrees to and represents it is in compliance
with the terms of Section 287.133(2)(a) of the Florida Statutes which read as follows:

Upon notification that its Bid has been awarded, the Successful Bidder will execute the Agreement form
attached to the Bidding Documents within ten (10) calendar days and deliver the Surety Bond or Bonds
and Insurance Certificates as required by the Contract Documents. The bid security attached is to become
the property of the Owner in the event the Agreement, Insurance Certificates and Bonds are not executed
and delivered to Owner within the time above set forth, as liquidated damages,for the delay and additional
expense to the Owner, it being recognized that, since time is of the essence, Owner will suffer financial
loss if the Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver to Owner the required Agreement, Insurance
Certificates and Bonds within the required time period. In the event of such failure, the total amount of
Owner's damages,will be difficult, if not impossible,to definitely ascertain and quantify. It is hereby agreed
that it is appropriate and fair that Owner receive liquidated damages from the Successful Bidder in the
event it fails to execute and deliver the Agreement, Insurance Certificates, and Bonds as required
hereunder. The Successful Bidder hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any right which it may have
to seek to characterize the above noted liquidated damages as a penalty, which the parties agree
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of Owner's actual damages at the time of bidding if the
Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Agreement, Insurance Certificates, and Bonds in a timely
manner.
Upon receipt of the Notice of Award, the undersigned proposes to commence work at the site within five
(5) calendar days from the commencement date stipulated in the written Notice to Proceed unless the
Project Manager, in writing,subsequently notifies the Contractor of a modified (later)commencement date.
The undersigned further agrees to substantially complete all work covered by this Bid within Two Hundred
Ten (210)consecutive calendar days, computed by excluding the commencement date and including the
last day of such period, and to be fully completed to the point of final acceptance by the Owner within

commencement date and including the last day of such period.

thereto. All of the foregoing Contract Documents are incorporated by reference and made a
part of this Agreement(all of said documents including the Agreement sometimes being referred
to herein as the "Contract Documents" and sometimes as the "Agreement' and sometimes as
the "Contract"). A copy of the Contract Documents shall be maintained by Contractor at the
Project site at all times during the performance of the Work.
B. Owner shall furnish to the Contractor one reproducible set of the Contract Documents
and the appropriate number of sets of the Construction Documents, signed and sealed by the
Design Professional, as are reasonably necessary for permitting.
Section 2. Scope of Work.
Contractor agrees to furnish and pay for all management, supervision, financing, labor,
materials, tools, fuel, supplies, utilities, equipment and services of every kind and type
necessary to diligently, timely, and fully perform and complete in a good and workmanlike
manner the Work required by the Contract Documents.
Section 3. Contract Amount.
In consideration of the faithful performance by Contractor of the covenants in this Agreement to
the full satisfaction and acceptance of Owner, Owner agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to
Contractor the following amount (herein "Contract Amount'), in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement: One million, seven hundred eighty four thousand, one hundred and five dollars
($1,784,105.00).
Section 4. Bonds.
A. Contractor shall provide Performance and Payment Bonds, in the form prescribed in
Exhibit A, in the amount of 100% of the Contract Amount, the costs of which are to be paid by
Contractor. The Performance and Payment Bonds shall be underwritten by a surety authorized
to do business in the State of Florida and otherwise acceptable to Owner; provided, however,
the surety shall meet the requirements of the Department of the Treasury Fiscal Service,
"Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and as
31 of 97
lic
la
Acceptable Reinsurance Companies" circular. This circular may be accessed via the web at
www.fms.treas.gov/c570/c570.html#certified. Should the Contract Amount be less than
$500,000, the requirements of Section 287.0935, F.S. shall govern the rating and classification
of the surety.
B. If the surety for any bond furnished by Contractor is declared bankrupt, becomes
insolvent, its right to do business is terminated in the State of Florida, or it ceases to meet the
requirements imposed by the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, within five (5) calendar
days thereafter, substitute at its cost and expense another bond and surety, both of which shall
be subject to the Owner's approval.
Section 5. Contract Time and Liquidated Damages.
A. Time of Performance.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work under this Agreement. The
"Commencement Date" shall be established in the written Notice to Proceed to be issued by the
Project Manager, as hereinafter defined. Contractor shall commence the Work within five (5)
calendar days from the Commencement Date. No Work shall be performed at the Project site
prior to the Commencement Date. Any Work performed by Contractor prior to the
Commencement Date shall be at the sole risk of Contractor. Contractor shall achieve
Substantial Completion within Two Hundred ten (210) calendar days from the Commencement
Date (herein "Contract Time"). The date of Substantial Completion of the Work (or designated
portions thereof) is the date certified by the Design Professional when construction is sufficiently
complete, in accordance with the Contract Documents, so Owner can occupy or utilize the Work
(or designated portions thereof) for the use for which it is intended. Contractor shall achieve
Final Completion within Thirty (30) calendar days after the date of Substantial Completion.
Final Completion shall occur when the Agreement is completed in its entirety, is accepted by the
Owner as complete and is so stated by the Owner as completed. As used herein and
throughout the Contract Documents, the phrase "Project Manager" refers to the Owner's duly
authorized representative and shall mean the Division Administrator or Department Director, as
applicable, acting directly or through duly authorized representatives.
B. Liquidated Damages in General.
Owner and Contractor recognize that, since time is of the essence for this Agreement, Owner
will suffer financial loss if Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion within the time
specified above, as said time may be adjusted as provided for herein. In such event, the total
amount of Owner's damages, will be difficult, if not impossible, to definitely ascertain and
quantify. Should Contractor fail to achieve Substantial Completion within the number of
calendar days established herein, Owner shall be entitled to assess, as liquidated damages, but
not as a penalty, Seven Hundred ten dollars and eight cents ($710.08) for each calendar day
thereafter until Substantial Completion is achieved. Further, in the event Substantial
Completion is reached, but the Contractor fails to reach Final Completion within the required
time period, Owner shall also be entitled to assess and Contractor shall be liable for all actual
damages incurred by Owner as a result of Contractor failing to timely achieve Final Completion.
The Project shall be deemed to be substantially completed on the date the Project Manager (or
at his/her direction, the Design Professional) issues a Certificate of Substantial Completion
pursuant to the terms hereof. Contractor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any right
which it may have to seek to characterize the above noted liquidated damages as a penalty,
which the parties agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the Owner's actual
damages at the time of contracting if Contractor fails to Substantially or Finally Complete the
Work within the required time periods.
Page 32 of 97
C. Computation of Time Periods.
When any period of time is referenced by days herein, it shall be computed to exclude the first
day and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a
Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction,
such day shall be omitted from the computation, and the last day shall become the next
succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
D. Determination of Number of Days of Default.
For all contracts, regardless of whether the Contract Time is stipulated in calendar days or
working days, the Owner will count default days in calendar days.
E. Right of Collection.
The Owner has the right to apply any amounts due Contractor under this Agreement or any
other agreement between Owner and Contractor, as payment on such liquidated damages due
under this Agreement in Owner's sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Owner retains its right to liquidated damages due under this Agreement even if
Contractor, at Owner's election and in its sole discretion, is allowed to continue and to finish the
Work, or any part of it, after the expiration of the Contract Time including granted time
extensions.
F. Completion of Work by Owner.
In the event Contractor defaults on any of its obligations under the Agreement and Owner elects
to complete the Work, in whole or in part, through another contractor or its own forces, the
Contractor and its surety shall continue to be liable for the liquidated damages under the
Agreement until Owner achieves Substantial and Final Completion of the Work. Owner will not
charge liquidated damages for any delay in achieving Substantial or Final Completion as a
result of any unreasonable action or delay on the part of the Owner.
G. Final Acceptance by Owner.
The Owner shall consider the Agreement complete when the Contractor has completed in its
entirety all of the Work and the Owner has accepted all of the Work and notified the Contractor
in writing that the Work is complete. Once the Owner has approved and accepted the Work,
Contractor shall be entitled to final payment in accordance with the terms of the Contract
Documents.
H. Recovery of Damages Suffered by Third Parties.
Contractor shall be liable to Owner to the extent Owner incurs damages from a third party as a
result of Contractor's failure to fulfill all of its obligations under the Contract Documents.
Owner's recovery of any delay related damages under this Agreement through the liquidated
damages does not preclude Owner from recovering from Contractor any other non-delay related
damages that may be owed to it arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
Section 6. Exhibits Incorporated.

reference and made a part of this Agreement for Solicitation 15-6400 Renovation of the

EXHIBIT H: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
1 .1 It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete
Project (or portion thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract
Documents. Any work, materials or equipment that may reasonably be inferred from
the Contract Documents as being required to produce the intended result shall be
supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words which have a well known
technical or trade meaning are used to describe work, materials or equipment, such
words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. Reference to standard
specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization or association or
to the laws or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Project, whether such reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest
standard specification, manual, code, law or regulation in effect at the time the Work is
performed, except as may be otherwise specifically stated herein.
1.2 If before or during the performance of the Work Contractor discovers a conflict,
error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, Contractor immediately shall report
same to the Project Manager in writing and before proceeding with the Work affected
thereby shall obtain a written interpretation or clarification from the Project Manager;
said interpretation or clarification from the Project Manager may require Contractor to
consult directly with Design Professional or some other third party, as directed by
Project Manager. Contractor shall take field measurements and verify field conditions
and shall carefully compare such field measurements and conditions and other
information known to Contractor with the Contract Documents before commencing any
portion of the Work.
1.3 Drawings are intended to show general arrangements, design and extent of Work
and are not intended to serve as shop drawings. Specifications are separated into
divisions for convenience of reference only and shall not be interpreted as establishing
divisions for the Work, trades, subcontracts, or extent of any part of the Work. In the
event of a discrepancy between or among the drawings, specifications or other Contract
Document provisions, Contractor shall be required to comply with the provision which is
the more restrictive or stringent requirement upon the Contractor, as determined by the
Project Manager. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned, all anchors, bolts, screws,
fittings, fillers, hardware, accessories, trim and other parts required in connection with
any portion of the Work to make a complete, serviceable, finished and first quality
installation shall be furnished and installed as part of the Work, whether or not called for
by the Contract Documents.
2. INVESTIGATION AND UTILITIES.
2.1 Subject to Section 2.3 below, Contractor shall have the sole responsibility of
satisfying itself concerning the nature and location of the Work and the general and
local conditions, and particularly, but without limitation, with respect to the following:
those affecting transportation, access, disposal, handling and storage of materials;
Page 55 of 97
1 C
availability and quality of labor; water and electric power; availability and condition of
roads; work area; living facilities; climatic conditions and seasons; physical conditions at
the work-site and the project area as a whole; topography and ground surface
conditions; nature and quantity of the surface materials to be encountered; subsurface
conditions; equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during performance of
the Work; and all other costs associated with such performance. The failure of
Contractor to acquaint itself with any applicable conditions shall not relieve Contractor
from any of its responsibilities to perform under the Contract Documents, nor shall it be
considered the basis for any claim for additional time or compensation.
2.2 Contractor shall locate all existing roadways, railways, drainage facilities and
utility services above, upon, or under the Project site, said roadways, railways, drainage
facilities and utilities being referred to in this Sub-Section 2.2 as the "Utilities".
Contractor shall contact the owners of all Utilities to determine the necessity for
relocating or temporarily interrupting any Utilities during the construction of the Project.
Contractor shall schedule and coordinate its Work around any such relocation or
temporary service interruption. Contractor shall be responsible for properly shoring,
supporting and protecting all Utilities at all times during the course of the Work. The
Contractor is responsible for coordinating all other utility work so as to not interfere with
the prosecution of the Work (except those utilities to be coordinated by the Owner as
may be expressly described elsewhere in the Contract Documents).
2.3 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, if conditions
are encountered at the Project site which are (i) subsurface or otherwise concealed
physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract
Documents or (ii) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ
materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in
construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, and
which reasonably should not have been discovered by Contractor as part of its scope of
site investigative services required pursuant to the terms of the Contract Documents,
then Contractor shall provide Owner with prompt written notice thereof before conditions
are disturbed and in no event later than three (3) calendar days after first observance of
such conditions. Owner and Design Professional shall promptly investigate such
conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in
Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, Owner
will acknowledge and agree to an equitable adjustment to Contractor's compensation or
time for performance, or both, for such Work. If Owner determines that the conditions at
the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents or
not of an unusual nature or should have been discovered by Contractor as part of its
investigative services, and that no change in the terms of the Agreement is justified,
Owner shall so notify Contractor in writing, stating its reasons. Claims by Contractor in
opposition to such determination by Owner must be made within seven (7) calendar
days after Contractor's receipt of Owner's written determination notice. If Owner and
Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment to Contractor's cost or time of performance,
the dispute resolution procedure set forth in the Contract Documents shall be complied
with by the parties.

4. PROGRESS PAYMENTS.
4.1 Prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall
submit to Project Manager, for their review and approval, a schedule of values based
upon the Contract Price, listing the major elements of the Work and the dollar value for
each element. After its approval by the Project Manager, this schedule of values shall
be used as the basis for the Contractor's monthly Applications for Payment. This
schedule shall be updated and submitted each month along with a completed copy of
the Application for Payment form signed by the Contractor's authorized representative
and attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D.
4.2 Prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall
provide to the Project Manager the list of its Subcontractors and materialmen submitted

4.3 Contractor shall submit all Applications for Payment to Victor J Latavish, P.A.,
located at 4100 Corporate Square No. 100 Naples, FL 34104.
4.4 Unless expressly approved by Owner in advance and in writing, said approval at
Owner's sole discretion, Owner is not required to make any payment for materials or
equipment that have not been incorporated into the Project. If payment is requested on
the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated into the Project, but delivered
and suitably stored at the site or at another location, and such payment and storage
have been agreed to by Owner in writing, the Application for Payment also shall be
accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that the Owner
has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security
interests and encumbrances, together with evidence that the materials and equipment
are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect
Owner's interest therein, all of which shall be subject to the Owner's satisfaction.
Thereafter, with each Application for Payment, Contractor also shall complete and
submit to Owner as part of its Application for Payment, the Stored Materials Record
attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit D.
4.5 Contractor shall submit six (6) copies of its monthly Application for Payment to
the Project Manager or his or her designee, as directed by Owner (which designee may
include the Design Professional). After the date of each Application for Payment is
stamped as received and within the timeframes set forth in Section 218.735 F.S., the
Project Manager, or Design Professional, shall either: (1) Indicate its approval of the
requested payment; (2) indicate its approval of only a portion of the requested payment,
stating in writing its reasons therefore; or (3) return the Application for Payment to the
Contractor indicating, in writing, the reason for refusing to approve payment. Payments
of proper invoices in the amounts approved shall be processed and paid in accordance
with Section 218.735, F.S. and the administrative procedures established by the
County's Purchasing Department and the Clerk of Court's Finance Department
respectively.
In the event of a total denial by Owner and return of the Application for Payment by the
Project Manager, the Contractor may make the necessary corrections and re-submit the
Application for Payment. The Owner shall, within ten (10) business days after the
Application for Payment is stamped and received and after Project Manager approval of
an Application for Payment, pay the Contractor the amounts so approved.
4.6 Owner shall retain ten percent (10%) of the gross amount of each monthly
payment request or ten percent (10%) of the portion thereof approved by the Project
Manager for payment, whichever is less. Such sum shall be accumulated and not
released to Contractor until final payment is due unless otherwise agreed to by the
Owner in accordance with Florida Statute 255.078. The Project Manager shall have the
discretion to establish, in writing, a schedule to periodically reduce the percentage of
cumulative retainage held throughout the course of the Project schedule. Owner shall
reduce the amount of the retainage withheld on each payment request subsequent to
fifty percent (50%) completion subject to the guidelines set forth in Florida Statute
255.078 and as set forth in the Owner's purchasing ordinance and policies.

4.7 Monthly payments to Contractor shall in no way imply approval or acceptance of
Contractor's Work.
4.8 Each Application for Payment, subsequent to the first pay application, shall be
accompanied by a Release and Affidavit, in the form attached as Exhibit C,
acknowledging Contractor's receipt of payment in full for all materials, labor, equipment
and other bills that are then due and payable by Owner with respect to the current
Application for Payment. Further, to the extent directed by Owner and in Owner's sole
discretion, Contractor shall also submit a Release and Affidavit from each
Subcontractor, sub-subcontractor, or supplier in the form attached as Exhibit C
acknowledging that each Subcontractor, sub-subcontractor or supplier has been paid in
full through the previous month's Application for Payment. The Owner shall not be
required to make payment until and unless these affidavits are furnished by Contractor.
4.9 Contractor agrees and understands that funding limitations exist and that the
expenditure of funds must be spread over the duration of the Project at regular intervals
based on the Contract Amount and Progress Schedule. Accordingly, prior to submitting
its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall prepare and submit for Project
Manager's review and approval, a detailed Project Funding Schedule, which shall be
updated as necessary and approved by Owner to reflect approved adjustments to the
Contract Amount and Contract Time. No voluntary acceleration or early completion of
the Work shall modify the time of payments to Contractor as set forth in the approved
Project Funding Schedule.
4.10 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, Contractor
acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a dispute concerning payments for Work
performed under this Agreement, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work
required of it under this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute provided that
Owner continues to pay Contractor all amounts that Owner does not dispute are due
and payable.
4.11 Payments will be made for services furnished, delivered, and accepted, upon
receipt and approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six (6)
months after completion of contract. Any untimely submission of invoices beyond the
specified deadline period is subject to non-payment under the legal doctrine of "laches"
as untimely submitted. Time shall be deemed of the essence with respect to the timely
submission of invoices under this agreement.
4.12 The County may, at its discretion, use VISA/MASTER card credit network as a
payment vehicle for goods and/or services purchased as a part of this contract. The
County may not accept any additional surcharges (credit card transaction fees) as a
result of using the County's credit card for transactions relating to this solicitation
5. PAYMENTS WITHHELD.
5.1 The Project Manager may decline to approve any Application for Payment, or
portions thereof, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent
Page 59 of 97
4
inspections that reveal non-compliance with the Contract Documents. The Project
Manager may nullify the whole or any part of any approval for payment previously
issued and Owner may withhold any payments otherwise due Contractor under this
Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, to such extent as
may be necessary in the Owner's opinion to protect it from loss because of:
(a) Defective Work not remedied; (b) third party claims filed or reasonable evidence
indicating probable filing of such claims; (c) failure of Contractor to make payment
properly to subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment; (d) reasonable doubt
that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Amount; (e)
reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time; (f)
unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by the Contractor; or (g) any other material
breach of the Contract Documents by Contractor.
5.2 If any conditions described in 5.1. are not remedied or removed, Owner may,
after three (3) days written notice, rectify the same at Contractor's expense. Provided
however, in the event of an emergency, Owner shall not be required to provide
Contractor any written notice prior to rectifying the situation at Contractor's expense.
Owner also may offset against any sums due Contractor the amount of any liquidated or
non-liquidated obligations of Contractor to Owner, whether relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any other agreement between Contractor and Owner.
5.3 In instances where the successful contractor may owe debts (including, but not
limited to taxes or other fees) to Collier County and the contractor has not satisfied nor
made arrangement to satisfy these debts, the County reserves the right to off-set the
amount owed to the County by applying the amount owed to the vendor or contractor for
services performed of for materials delivered in association with a contract.
6. FINAL PAYMENT.
6.1 Owner shall make final payment to Contractor in accordance with Section
218.735, F.S. and the administrative procedures established by the County's
Purchasing Department and the Clerk of Court's Finance Department after the Work is
finally inspected and accepted by Project Manager as set forth with Section 20.1 herein,
provided that Contractor first, and as an explicit condition precedent to the accrual of
Contractor's right to final payment, shall have furnished Owner with a properly executed
and notarized copy of the Release and Affidavit attached as Exhibit C, as well as, a duly
executed copy of the Surety's consent to final payment and such other documentation
that may be required by the Contract Documents and the Owner. Prior to release of
final payment and final retainage, the Contractor's Representative and the Project
Manager shall jointly complete the Final Payment Checklist, a representative copy of
which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit G.
6.2 Contractor's acceptance of final payment shall constitute a full waiver of any and
all claims by Contractor against Owner arising out of this Agreement or otherwise
relating to the Project, except those previously made in writing in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents and identified by Contractor as unsettled in its
Page 60 of 97
4
final Application for Payment. Neither the acceptance of the Work nor payment by
Owner shall be deemed to be a waiver of Owner's right to enforce any obligations of
Contractor hereunder or to the recovery of damages for defective Work not discovered
by the Design Professional or Project Manager at the time of final inspection.
7. SUBMITTALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS.
7.1 Contractor shall carefully examine the Contract Documents for all requirements
for approval of materials to be submitted such as shop drawings, data, test results,
schedules and samples. Contractor shall submit all such materials at its own expense
and in such form as required by the Contract Documents in sufficient time to prevent
any delay in the delivery of such materials and the installation thereof.
7.2 Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract
Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular supplier,
the naming of the item is intended to establish the type, function and quality required.
Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no substitution is permitted,
materials or equipment of other suppliers may be accepted by Owner if sufficient
information is submitted by Contractor to allow the Owner to determine that the material
or equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named. Requests for review of
substitute items of material and equipment will not be accepted by Owner from anyone
other than Contractor and all such requests must be submitted by Contractor to Project
Manager within thirty (30) calendar days after Notice of Award is received by
Contractor, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by Owner and Contractor.
7.3 If Contractor wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment,
Contractor shall make application to the Project Manager for acceptance thereof,
certifying that the proposed substitute shall adequately perform the functions and
achieve the results called for by the general design, be similar and of equal substance
to that specified and be suited to the same use as that specified. The application shall
state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will not prejudice
Contractor's achievement of substantial completion on time, whether or not acceptance
of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract
Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner for the Project)
to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or not incorporation or use
by the substitute in connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or
royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in
the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service shall be
indicated. The application also shall contain an itemized estimate of all costs that will
result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including costs for
redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which
shall be considered by the Project Manager in evaluating the proposed substitute. The
Project Manager may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense additional
data about the proposed substitute.
7.4 If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is
indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish or utilize a
Page 61 of 97
Q r
;S
p
substitute means, method, sequence, technique or procedure of construction
acceptable to the Project Manager, if Contractor submits sufficient information to allow
the Project Manager to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that
indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedures for submission to
and review by the Project Manager shall be the same as those provided herein for
substitute materials and equipment.
7.5 The Project Manager shall be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate
each proposed substitute and, if need be, to consult with the Design Professional. No
substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without the Project Manager's prior written
acceptance which shall be evidenced by a Change Order, a Work Directive Change, a
Field Order or an approved Shop Drawing. The Owner may require Contractor to
furnish at Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with
respect to any substitute. The Project Manager will record time required by the Project
Manager and the Project Manager's consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by
Contractor and making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby.
Whether or not the Owner accepts a proposed substitute, Contractor shall reimburse
Owner for the charges of the Design Professional and the Design Professional's
consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute.
8. DAILY REPORTS, SIGNED AND SEALED AS-BUILTS AND MEETINGS.
8.1 Unless waived in writing by Owner, Contractor shall complete and submit to
Project Manager on a weekly basis a daily log of the Contractor's work for the preceding
week in a format approved by the Project Manager. The daily log shall document all
activities of Contractor at the Project site including, but not limited to, the following:
8.1.1 Weather conditions showing the high and low temperatures during
work hours, the amount of precipitation received on the Project site, and any other
weather conditions which adversely affect the Work;
8.1.2 Soil conditions which adversely affect the Work;
8.1.3 The hours of operation by Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's
personnel;
8.1.4 The number of Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's personnel present

Page 62 of 97
11C
8.1.9 A list of all visitors to the Project
8.1.10 Any problems that might impact either the cost or quality of the Work or
the time of performance.
The daily log shall not constitute nor take the place of any notice required to be given by
Contractor to Owner pursuant to the Contract Documents.
8.2 Contractor shall maintain in a safe place at the Project site one record copy of
the Contract Documents, including, but not limited to, all drawings, specifications,
addenda, amendments, Change Orders, Work Directive Changes and Field Orders, as
well as all written interpretations and clarifications issued by the Design Professional, in
good order and annotated to show all changes made during construction. The
annotated drawings shall be continuously updated by the Contractor throughout the
prosecution of the Work to accurately reflect all field changes that are made to adapt the
Work to field conditions, changes resulting from Change Orders, Work Directive
Changes and Field Orders, and all concealed and buried installations of piping, conduit
and utility services. All buried and concealed items, both inside and outside the Project
site, shall be accurately located on the annotated drawings as to depth and in
relationship to not less than two (2) permanent features (e.g. interior or exterior wall
faces). The annotated drawings shall be clean and all changes, corrections and
dimensions shall be given in a neat and legible manner in a contrasting color. The "As-
Built" record documents, together with all approved samples and a counterpart of all
approved shop drawings shall be available to the Project Manager or Design
Professional for reference. Upon completion of the Work and as a condition precedent
to Contractor's entitlement to final payment, these "As-Built" record documents, samples
and shop drawings shall be delivered to Project Manager by Contractor for Owner.
8.3 Contractor shall keep all records and supporting documentation, which concern
or relate to the Work hereunder for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of
termination of this Agreement or the date the Project is completed or such longer period
as may be required by law, whichever is later, pursuant to Florida Public Records Law
Chapter 119, including specifically those contractual requirements in F.S. §
119.0701(2(a) — (d) and (3) as follows:
(2) In addition to other contract requirements provided by law, each public
agency contract for services must include a provision that requires the
contractor to comply with public records laws, specifically to:
(a) Keep and maintain public records that ordinarily and necessarily would
be required by the public agency in order to perform the service.
(b) Provide the public with access to public records on the same terms and
conditions that the public agency would provide the records and at a
cost that does not exceed the cost provided in this chapter or as
otherwise provided by law.
(c) Ensure that public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt
from public records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as
authorized by law.
•
Page 63 of 97
11C
(d) Meet all requirements for retaining public records and transfer, at no
cost, to the public agency all public records in possession of the
contractor upon termination of the contract and destroy any duplicate
public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public
records disclosure requirements. All records stored electronically must
be provided to the public agency in a format that is compatible with the
information technology systems of the public agency.
(3) If a contractor does not comply with a public records request, the public agency
shall enforce the contract provisions in accordance with the contract.
9. CONTRACT TIME AND TIME EXTENSIONS.
9.1 Contractor shall diligently pursue the completion of the Work and coordinate the
Work being done on the Project by its subcontractors and material-men, as well as
coordinating its Work with all work of others at the Project Site, so that its Work or the
work of others shall not be delayed or impaired by any act or omission by Contractor.
Contractor shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences, and procedures, as well as coordination of all portions of the Work under
the Contract Documents, and the coordination of Owner's suppliers and contractors as
set forth in Paragraph 12.2. herein.
9.2 Should Contractor be obstructed or delayed in the prosecution of or completion
of the Work as a result of unforeseeable causes beyond the control of Contractor, and
not due to its fault or neglect, including but not restricted to acts of Nature or of the
public enemy, acts of government, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine regulation,
strikes or lockouts, Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing within forty-eight (48)
hours after the commencement of such delay, stating the cause or causes thereof, or be
deemed to have waived any right which Contractor may have had to request a time
extension.
9.3 No interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the
commencement or progress of the Work from any cause whatever, including those for
which Owner may be responsible, in whole or in part, shall relieve Contractor of its duty
to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from Owner.
Contractor expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall receive no damages for
delay. Contractor's sole remedy, if any, against Owner will be the right to seek an
extension to the Contract Time; provided, however, the granting of any such time
extension shall not be a condition precedent to the aforementioned "No Damage For
Delay" provision. This paragraph shall expressly apply to claims for early completion,
as well as to claims based on late completion.
9.4 In no event shall any approval by Owner authorizing Contractor to continue
performing Work under this Agreement or any payment issued by Owner to Contractor
be deemed a waiver of any right or claim Owner may have against Contractor for delay
damages hereunder.

10. CHANGES IN THE WORK.
10.1 Owner shall have the right at any time during the progress of the Work to
increase or decrease the Work. Promptly after being notified of a change, Contractor
shall submit an itemized estimate of any cost or time increases or savings it foresees as
a result of the change. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, or as
expressly set forth herein, no addition or changes to the Work shall be made except
upon written order of Owner, and Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any
increased compensation without such written order. No officer, employee or agent of
Owner is authorized to direct any extra or changed work orally. Any alleged changes
must be approved by Owner in writing prior to starting such items. Owner will not be
responsible for the costs of any changes commenced without Owner's express prior
written approval. Failure to obtain such prior written approval for any changes will be
deemed: (i) a waiver of any claim by Contractor for such items and (ii) an admission by
Contractor that such items are in fact not a change but rather are part of the Work
required of Contractor hereunder.
10.2 A Change Order, in the form attached as Exhibit E to this Agreement, shall be
issued and executed promptly after an agreement is reached between Contractor and
Owner concerning the requested changes. Contractor shall promptly perform changes
authorized by duly executed Change Orders. The Contract Amount and Contract Time
shall be adjusted in the Change Order in the manner as Owner and Contractor shall
mutually agree.
10.3 If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree on a Change Order for the
requested change, Contractor shall, nevertheless, promptly perform the change as
directed by Owner in a written Work Directive Change. In that event, the Contract
Amount and Contract Time shall be adjusted as directed by Owner. If Contractor
disagrees with the Owner's adjustment determination, Contractor must make a claim
pursuant to Section 11 of these General Conditions or else be deemed to have waived
any claim on this matter it might otherwise have had.
10.4 In the event a requested change results in an increase to the Contract Amount,
the amount of the increase shall be limited to the Contractor's reasonable direct labor
and material costs and reasonable actual equipment costs as a result of the change
(including allowance for labor burden costs) plus a maximum ten percent (10%) markup
for all overhead and profit. In the event such change Work is performed by a
Subcontractor, a maximum ten percent (10%) markup for all overhead and profit for all
Subcontractors' and sub-subcontractors' direct labor and material costs and actual
equipment costs shall be permitted, with a maximum five percent (5%) markup thereon
by the Contractor for all of its overhead and profit, for a total maximum markup of fifteen
percent (15%). All compensation due Contractor and any Subcontractor or sub-
subcontractor for field and home office overhead is included in the markups noted
above. Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's bond costs associated with any change order
shall be included in the overhead and profit expenses and shall not be paid as a
separate line item. No markup shall be placed on sales tax, shipping or subcontractor
markup.

10.5 Owner shall have the right to conduct an audit of Contractor's books and records
to verify the accuracy of the Contractor's claim with respect to Contractor's costs
associated with any Change Order or Work Directive Change.
10.6 The Project Manager shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not
involving an adjustment to the Contract Amount or an extension to the Contract Time
and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes may be
effected by Field Order or by other written order. Such changes shall be binding on the
Contractor.
10.7 Any modifications to this Contract shall be in compliance with the County
purchasing ordinance and policies and Administrative Procedures in effect at the time
such modifications are authorized.
11. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES.
11 .1 Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking an adjustment or
interpretation of the terms of the Contract Documents, payment of money, extension of
time or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract Documents. The term
"Claim" also includes other disputes and matters in question between Owner and
Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents. The responsibility to
substantiate a Claim shall rest with the party making the Claim.
11 .2 Claims by the Contractor shall be made in writing to the Project Manager within
forty-eight (48) hours from when the Contractor knew or should have known of the event
giving rise to such Claim or else the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the
Claim. Written supporting data shall be submitted to the Project Manager within fifteen
(15) calendar days after the occurrence of the event, unless the Owner grants additional
time in writing, or else the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the Claim. All
Claims shall be priced in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 10.4.
11.3 The Contractor shall proceed diligently with its performance as directed by the
Owner, regardless of any pending Claim, action, suit or administrative proceeding,
unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner in writing. Owner shall continue to make
payments in accordance with the Contract Documents during the pendency of any
Claim.
12. OTHER WORK.
12.1 Owner may perform other work related to the Project at the site by Owner's own
forces, have other work performed by utility owners or let other direct contracts. If the
fact that such other work is to be performed is not noted in the Contract Documents,
written notice thereof will be given to Contractor prior to starting any such other work. If
Contractor believes that such performance will involve additional expense to Contractor
or require additional time, Contractor shall send written notice of that fact to Owner and
Design Professional within forty-eight (48) hours of being notified of the other work. If
the Contractor fails to send the above required forty-eight (48) hour notice, the
Page 66 of 97
Contractor will be deemed to have waived any rights it otherwise may have had to seek
an extension to the Contract Time or adjustment to the Contract Amount.
12.2 Contractor shall afford each utility owner and other contractor who is a party to
such a direct contract (or Owner, if Owner is performing the additional work with
Owner's employees) proper and safe access to the site and a reasonable opportunity
for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment and the execution of such
work and shall properly connect and coordinate its Work with theirs. Contractor shall do
all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work that may be required to make its several
parts come together properly and integrate with such other work. Contractor shall not
endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and
will only cut or alter their work with the written consent of the Project Manager and the
others whose work will be affected. The duties and responsibilities of Contractor under
this paragraph are for the benefit of such utility owners and other Contractors to the
extent that there are comparable provisions for the benefit of Contractor in said direct
contracts between Owner and such utility owners and other contractors.
12.3 If any part of Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the
work of any other contractor or utility owner (or Owner), Contractor shall inspect and
promptly report to Project Manager in writing any delays, defects or deficiencies in such
work that render it unavailable or unsuitable for such proper execution and results.
Contractor's failure to report will constitute an acceptance of the other work as fit and
proper for integration with Contractor's Work.
13. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.
13.1 To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, Contractor shall indemnify and
hold harmless Owner and its officers and employees from any and all liabilities, claims,
damages, penalties, demands, judgments, actions, proceedings, losses or costs,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegals' fees, whether
resulting from any claimed breach of this Agreement by Contractor, any statutory or
regulatory violations, or from personal injury, property damage, direct or consequential
damages, or economic loss, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or
intentional wrongful misconduct of Contractor or anyone employed or utilized by the
Contractor in the performance of this Agreement.
13.2 The duty to defend under this Article 13 is independent and separate from the
duty to indemnify, and the duty to defend exists regardless of any ultimate liability of the
Contractor, Owner and any indemnified party. The duty to defend arises immediately
upon presentation of a claim by any party and written notice of such claim being
provided to Contractor. Contractor's obligation to indemnify and defend under this
Article 13 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until it is
determined by final judgment that an action against the Owner or an indemnified party
for the matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable statute
of limitations.

13.3 Contractor shall obtain and carry, at all times during its performance under the
Contract Documents, insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth in Exhibit B to
the Agreement. Further, the Contractor shall at all times comply with all of the terms,
conditions, requirements and obligations set forth under Exhibit B.
14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
14.1 Contractor agrees to comply, at its own expense, with all federal, state and local
laws, codes, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and requirements applicable to the
Project, including but not limited to those dealing with taxation, worker's compensation,
equal employment and safety (including, but not limited to, the Trench Safety Act,
Chapter 553, Florida Statutes). If Contractor observes that the Contract Documents are
at variance therewith, it shall promptly notify Project Manager in writing. To the extent

Manager, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at Contractor's
expense unless Contractor has given Project Manager timely notice of Contractor's
intention to cover the same and Project Manager has not acted with reasonable
promptness to respond to such notice. If any Work is covered contrary to written
directions from Project Manager, such Work must, if requested by Project Manager, be
uncovered for Project Manager's observation and be replaced at Contractor's sole

warranties made or assigned by Contractor to Owner shall be deemed defective Work.
If required by Project Manager, Contractor shall as directed, either correct all defective
Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or if the defective Work has
been rejected by Project Manager, remove it from the site and replace it with non-
defective Work. Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs of
such correction or removal (including, but not limited to fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys and other professionals) made necessary thereby, and shall hold
Owner harmless for same.

as Project Manager may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all
necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective,
Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such uncovering,
exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction
(including, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and
other professionals), and Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the

be allowed an increase in the Contract Amount and/or an extension to the Contract
Time, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing
and reconstruction.
23.3 If any portion of the Work is defective, or if Contractor fails to supply sufficient
skilled workers, suitable materials or equipment or fails to finish or perform the Work in
such a way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents, Project
Manager may order Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause
for such order has been eliminated. The right of Project Manager to stop the Work
shall be exercised, if at all, solely for Owner's benefit and nothing herein shall be
construed as obligating the Project Manager to exercise this right for the benefit of
Design Engineer, Contractor, or any other person.
23.4 Should the Owner determine, at its sole opinion, it is in the Owner's best interest
to accept defective Work, the Owner may do so. Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect
and consequential costs attributable to the Owner's evaluation of and determination to

Change Order shall be executed evidencing such acceptance of such defective Work,
incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents and reflecting an
appropriate decrease in the Contract Amount. If the Owner accepts such defective
Page 75 of 97

Work after final payment, Contractor shall promptly pay Owner an appropriate amount
to adequately compensate Owner for its acceptance of the defective Work.
23.5 If Contractor fails, within a reasonable time after the written notice from Project
Manager, to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected defective Work
as required by Project Manager or Owner, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any of the
provisions of the Contract Documents, Owner may, after seven (7) days written notice
to Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. Provided, however, Owner shall
not be required to give notice to Contractor in the event of an emergency. To the extent
necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, Owner may exclude Contractor
from any or all of the Project site, take possession of all or any part of the Work, and
suspend Contractor's services related thereto, take possession of Contractor's tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the Project site and incorporate in

remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of Owner in
exercising such rights and remedies shall be charged against Contractor, and a Change
Order shall be issued, incorporating the necessary revisions to the Contract Documents,
including an appropriate decrease to the Contract Amount. Such direct, indirect and
consequential costs shall include, but not be limited to, fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court costs and all costs of repair and
replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or

at no additional cost to Owner, Contractor shall comply with and fully implement the
sales tax savings program with respect to the Work, as set forth in section 32.2 below:
32.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, because Owner is exempt from

included in the Work ("Direct Purchase"). Contractor shall prepare purchase orders to
vendors selected by Contractor, for execution by Owner, on forms provided by Owner.

Purchase and Contractor wishes to make claim against the manufacturer or supplier of
such Direct Purchase, upon request from Contractor Owner shall assign to Contractor

for Proposal, with all affected Subcontractors and shall review the costs of those
proposals and advise Owner and Design Professional of their validity and
reasonableness, acting in Owner's best interest, prior to requesting approval of any
Change Order from Owner. All Subcontractors performing any portion of the Work on
this Project must be "qualified" as defined in Collier County Ordinance 2013-69,
meaning a person or entity that has the capability in all respects to perform fully the
Agreement requirements with respect to its portion of the Work and has the integrity and
reliability to assure good faith performance.
33.3 In addition to those Subcontractors identified in Contractor's bid that were
approved by Owner, Contractor also shall identify any other Subcontractors, including
their addresses, licensing information and phone numbers, it intends to utilize for the
Project prior to entering into any subcontract or purchase order and prior to the
Subcontractor commencing any work on the Project. The list identifying each
Subcontractor cannot be modified, changed, or amended without prior written approval
from Owner. Any and all Subcontractor work to be self-performed by Contractor must
be approved in writing by Owner in its sole discretion prior to commencement of such
work. Contractor shall continuously update that Subcontractor list, so that it remains
current and accurate throughout the entire performance of the Work.
33.4 Contractor shall not enter into a subcontract or purchase order with any
Subcontractor, if Owner reasonably objects to that Subcontractor. Contractor shall not
be required to contract with anyone it reasonably objects to. Contractor shall keep on
file a copy of the license for every Subcontractor and sub-subcontractor performing any
portion of the Work, as well as maintain a log of all such licenses. All subcontracts and
purchase orders between Contractor and its Subcontractors shall be in writing and are
subject to Owner's approval. Further, unless expressly waived in writing by Owner, all
subcontracts and purchase orders shall (1) require each Subcontractor to be bound to
Contractor to the same extent Contractor is bound to Owner by the terms of the
Contract Documents, as those terms may apply to the portion of the Work to be
performed by the Subcontractor, (2) provide for the assignment of the subcontract or
purchase order from Contractor to Owner at the election of Owner upon termination of
Contractor, (3) provide that Owner will be an additional indemnified party of the
subcontract or purchase order, (4) provide that Owner, Collier County Government, will
be an additional insured on all liability insurance policies required to be provided by the
Subcontractor except workman's compensation and business automobile policies, (5)
assign all warranties directly to Owner, and (6) identify Owner as an intended third-party
beneficiary of the subcontract or purchase order. Contractor shall make available to
each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract, copies of the
Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound. Each Subcontractor
shall similarly make copies of such documents available to its sub-subcontractors.
Page 82 of 97
33.5 Each Subcontractor performing work at the Project Site must agree to provide
field (on-site) supervision through a named superintendent for each trade (e.g., general
concrete forming and placement, masonry, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and
roofing) included in its subcontract or purchase order. In addition, the Subcontractor
shall assign and name a qualified employee for scheduling direction for its portion of the
Work. The supervisory employees of the Subcontractor (including field superintendent,
foreman and schedulers at all levels) must have been employed in a supervisory
(leadership) capacity of substantially equivalent level on a similar project for at least two
years within the last five years. The Subcontractor shall include a resume of experience
for each employee identified by it to supervise and schedule its work.
33.6 Unless otherwise expressly waived by Owner in writing, all subcontracts and
purchase orders shall provide:
33.6.1 That the Subcontractor's exclusive remedy for delays in the
performance of the subcontract or purchase order caused by events beyond its control,
including delays claimed to be caused by Owner or Design Professional or attributable
to Owner or Design Professional and including claims based on breach of contract or
negligence, shall be an extension of its contract time.
33.6.2 In the event of a change in the work, the Subcontractor's claim for
adjustments in the contract sum are limited exclusively to its actual costs for such
changes plus no more than 10% for overhead and profit.
33.6.3 The subcontract or purchase order, as applicable, shall require the
Subcontractor to expressly agree that the foregoing constitute its sole and exclusive
remedies for delays and changes in the Work and thus eliminate any other remedies for
claim for increase in the contract price, damages, losses or additional compensation.
Further, Contractor shall require all Subcontractors to similarly incorporate the terms of
this Section 33.6 into their sub-subcontracts and purchase orders.
33.6.4 Each subcontract and purchase order shall require that any claims by
Subcontractor for delay or additional cost must be submitted to Contractor within the
time and in the manner in which Contractor must submit such claims to Owner, and that
failure to comply with such conditions for giving notice and submitting claims shall result
in the waiver of such claims.
