Agenda 04/24/2018 Item #16A 204/24/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a no cost First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between the
City of Naples and Collier County clarifying post-design duties and responsibilities of the parties
for the remaining phases of the joint storm w ater and sanitary sewer project located between
Goodlette-Frank Road and US-41. (Project No. 60142)
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval of the First Amendment
to Interlocal Agreement with the City of Naples (City) for the design and construction of a joint
stormwater and sanitary sewer project located between Goodlette-Frank Road and US-41.
CONSIDERATIONS: The area bounded by US-41 to the west, Pine Ridge Road to the north,
Goodlette-Frank Road to the east and Golden Gate Parkway to the south [hereinafter referred to as the
West G-F Road area], has a long and varied history of periodic street and yard flooding, with limited
amounts of structure flooding. This area is within the City’s sewer and water service area, and s ome
streets are currently unsewered with owners utilizing septic systems. The County’s portion of the
project addresses the long-standing storm water concerns.
On September 27, 2016 (Agenda Item 16A9), the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement, which
provides for a cooperative storm water/sanitary sewer project between the City and Collier County.
The fully executed Interlocal Agreement was recorded in the official records of Collier County (OR
5332, PG 3607) on November 10, 2016. The design of the project is now complete, and County and
City staff are recommending the attached proposed Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement to better
reflect the language necessary to proceed into the construction bid solicitation phase.
The revisions to the Interlocal Agreement are reflected by strike-through/underscoring (showing the
deletions and additions, respectively) in the attached First Amendment. Briefly stated, the changes are
as follows:
Clarify the County’s procurement of design services for both the City’s utility portions as well
as the County’s storm water portions of the project;
Provide for the use of a three-party agreement for the construction contract, following the
competitive procurement, and defines how the lowest responsive and responsible bid would be
determined;
Clearly articulate the parties’ respective financial responsibilities under the proposed three -
party construction contract, including their respective duties to open purchase orders so that
each party can pay for its portion of the work performed under the three-party construction
contract;
Language added to identify the County’s responsibilities for managing monthly construction
progress payments and clarify the Parties’ staff’s working relationship;
Clean up language to comport with the now completed design consultant selection process; and
Clarify the joint final inspection and payout procedure upon completion of the construction
work, identify the mutual responsibility for disposal of all removed materials from the project,
and the mutual acceptance of all constructed components by the parties.
The proposed three-party contract will come back to the Board for approval after the project is solicited
and there is a recommendation to award the contract to a low bidder.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact related to the requested Amendment other than minor
16.A.2
Packet Pg. 403
04/24/2018
recording fees of approximately $100. Funding for the storm water portion of the project is budgeted as
part of the Storm water Capital Program, in Fund 325. Grant funding in the amount of $1.6 million,
evenly split between the County and the City, has been awarded by the Big Cypress Basin for
construction of the project. The City has applied for additional grant funding for the sanitary sewer
portion of the project to further reduce the upcoming assessment proposed to fund the project.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact by this Amendment
#1 to the existing interlocal agreement.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority
vote for Board approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: To approve a no cost First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between
the City of Naples and Collier County clarifying post-design duties and responsibilities of the parties
for the remaining phases of the joint storm water and sanitary sewer project located between Goodlette -
Frank Road and US-41. (Project No. 60142)

substitute at its cost and expense another bond and surety, both of which shall be subject to the
Owner's approval.
Section 6. Contract Time and Liauidated Damaaes.
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 39 (39j 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 40 (40)
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.
EXHIBIT A
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, 41 Amount
of Dollars Described in Words (Dollars in Numbers) 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.
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.
EXHIBIT A
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.

EXHIBIT H: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
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; 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.
29 O�No
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.
3. SCHEDULE.
3.1 The Contractor, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Award, shall
prepare and submit to Project Manager, for their review and approval, a progress schedule for the
Project (herein "Progress Schedule"). The Progress Schedule shall relate to all Work required by
the Contract Documents, and shall utilize the Critical Path method of scheduling and shall provide
for expeditious and practicable execution of the Work within the Contract Time. The Progress
Schedule shall indicate the dates for starting and completing the various stages of the Work.
3.2 The Progress Schedule shall be updated monthly by the Contractor. All monthly updates to
the Progress Schedule shall be subject to the Project Manager's review and approval. Contractor
shall submit the updates to the Progress Schedule with its monthly Applications for Payment noted
below. The Project Manager's review and approval of the submitted Progress Schedule updates
shall be a condition precedent to the Owner's obligation to pay Contractor.
3.3 All work under this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of all
Collier County Noise Ordinances then in effect. Unless otherwise specified, work will generally be
30 0
limited to the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. No work shall be performed

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

completed copy of the Application for Payment form signed by the Contractor's authorized
representative and attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D.

4.3 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

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 procurement ordinance
and policies.
4.8 Monthly payments to Contractor shall in no way imply approval or acceptance of Contractor's
Work.
4.9 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.
4.10 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.
4.11 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.

4.12 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.
4.13 The County and City 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 and
City may not accept any additional surcharges (credit card transaction fees) as a result of using the
County's or City'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 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 sures 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 Owner and the contractor has not satisfied nor made arrangement to satisfy
these debts, the Owner reserves the right to off -set the amount owed to the Owner by applying the
amount owed to the vendor or contractor for services performed of for materials delivered in
association with this contract or any other contract with the Contractor.
6. FINAL PAYMENT.
6.1 Final Payment by the County: The County shall make final payment to Contractor in
accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and the administrative procedures established by the
County's Procurement Services Division and the Clerk of Court's Finance Department after the
Stormwater 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
330
Contract Documents and the Owner. Prior to release of final payment and final retainage, the

Checklist, a representative copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit G.
6.2 Final Payment by the City: The City shall make final payment to Contractor in accordance
with Section 21$,735, F.S. after the City's Utilities Improvements 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.
6.3 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 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.
T2 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
34 ON
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 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.
B. 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

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,

"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 and comply with specifically those
contractual requirements in 119.0701(2)(a) -(b) as follows:
IF THE CONTRACTOR HAS QUESTIONS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF
CHAPTER 119, FLORIDA STATUTES, TO THE CONTRACTOR'S DUTY TO PROVIDE

411
1. Keep and maintain public records required by the public agency to perform the service.
2. Upon request from the public agency's custodian of public records, provide the public
agency with a copy of the requested records or allow the records to be inspected or
copied within a reasonable time at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided in this
chapter or as otherwise provided by law.
3. Ensure that public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public
records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as authorized by law for the
duration of the contract term and following completion of the contract if the Contractor
does not transfer the records to the public agency.
4. Upon completion of the contract, transfer, at no cost, to the public agency all public
records in possession of the Contractor or keep and maintain public records required by
the public agency to perform the service. If the Contractor transfers all public records to

completion of the contract, the Contractor shall meet all applicable requirements for
retaining public records. All records stored electronically must be provided to the public
agency, upon request from the public agency's custodian of public records, in a format
that is compatible with the information technology systems of the public agency.
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 122 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.
38
10.7 Any modifications to this Contract shall be in compliance with the County procurement
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
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.

13.1 To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, the ContractorNendorlConsultant shall
defend, indemnify and hold harmless Collier County and City of Naples, its officers and employees
from any and all liabilities, damages, losses and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable

intentionally wrongful conduct of the ContractorNendorlConsultant or anyone employed or utilized
by the ContractorNendorlConsultant in the performance of this Agreement.

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.

(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 any law, rule, regulation, code, statute, or ordinance requires the
inclusion of certain terms in this Agreement in order for this Agreement to be enforceable, such terms
shall be deemed included in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents
to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that in the event of a change in any applicable laws,
ordinances, rules or regulations subsequent to the date this Agreement was executed that increases
the Contractor's time or cost of performance of the Work, Contractor is entitled to a Change Order
for such increases, except to the extent Contractor knew or should have known of such changes
prior to the date of this Agreement.
14.2 By executing and entering into this agreement, the Contractor is formally acknowledging

States and to employ only individuals who are eligible to work in the United States.
The Employment Eligibility Verification System (E -Verify) operated by the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA), provides an Internet -
based means of verifying employment eligibility of workers in the United States; it is not a substitute
for any other employment eligibility verification requirements. The program will be used for Collier
County formal Invitations to Bid (ITB) and Request for Proposals (RFP) including professional
services and construction services.

of their enrollment, at the time of the submission of the Contractor's/bidder's proposal. Acceptable
evidence consists of a copy of the properly completed E -Verify Company Profile page or a copy of
the fully executed E -Verify Memorandum of Understanding for the company. Contractors are also
required to provide the Collier County Procurement Services Division an executed affidavit certifying
they shall comply with the E -Verify Program. The affidavit is attached to the solicitation documents.
If the BidderlContractor does not comply with providing both the acceptable E -Verify
evidence and the executed affidavit the bidder's I Contractor's proposal may be deemed non-
responsive.
Additionally, Contractors shall require all subcontracted Contractors to use the E -Verify system for
all purchases not covered under the "Exceptions to the program" clause above.

the laws referenced herein or the provisions of this affidavit shall constitute a breach of the award
agreement and the Owner shall have the discretion to unilaterally terminate said agreement
immediately.
