Agreement requirements and has the integrity and reliability to assure good faith
performance. A Subcontractor's disqualification from bidding by the Owner, or other

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

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

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

specified period of time, including but not limited to: submitting bids, RFP, and/or

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 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 specified consecutive
calendar days (see table below), 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 specified (see table below) consecutive calendar
days after Substantial Completion, computed by excluding commencement date and
including the last day of such period.

CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA,
("Owner") hereby contracts with Hannula Landscaping and Irrigation, Inc
("Contractor") of 28131 Quails Nest Lane Bonita Springs, Florida 34135 a Florida
corporation, authorized to do business in the State of Florida, to perform all work
("Work") in connection with Landscape & Irrigation Installation Projects:
Immokalee, Rattlesnake Hammock & Vanderbilt Beach Roads, Bid No. 09-5190
("Project"), as said Work is set forth in the Plans and Specifications prepared by
Windham Studios and McGee & Associates, the Engineer and/or Architect of Record
("Design Professional") and other Contract Documents hereafter specified. Owner and
Contractor, for the consideration herein set forth, agree as follows:
Section 1. Contract Documents.
A. The Contract Documents consist of this Agreement, the Exhibits described in
Section 6 hereof, the Legal Advertisement, the Bidding Documents and any duly
executed and issued addenda, Change Orders, Work Directive Changes, Field Orders
and amendments relating 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 six
thousand, thirty nine dollars and twenty three cents ($1,786,039.23).
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
GC-CA-I
1685
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 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 Damaqes.
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 specified (see table below)
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 specified (see table below) 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.
GC.CA-2
16B5
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, (see table below) 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. 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.
C. 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.
D. 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
GC-CA- 3
16B5
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.
E. 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.
F. 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.

include as an additional insured any person or or-
ganization for whom you are performing operations
when you and such person or organization have
agreed in writing in a contract or agreement that

tional insured on your policy. Such person or or-
ganization is an additional insured only with re-
spect to liability for "bodily injury", "property

2. The acts or omissions of those acting on your
behalf;
in the performance of your ongoing operations for

pleted.
B. With respect to the insurance afforded to these
additional insureds, the following additional exclu-
sions apply:
This insurance does not apply to:
1. "Bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal
and advertising injury" arising out of the render-
ing of, or the failure to render, any professional

vices, including:

pare or approve, maps, shop drawings,
opinions, reports, surveys, field orders,

tions; or

vice, maintenance or repairs) to be per-
formed by or on behalf of the additional in-
sured(s) at the location of the covered

tor engaged in performing operations for a

(5) The Contractor and/or its insurance carrier shall provide 30 days written notice to the Owner of

expiration, cancellation, non-renewal or material change in coverages or limits received by Contractor
from its insurer and nothing contained herein shall relieve Contractor of this requirement to provide
notice. In the event of a reduction in the aggregate limit of any policy to be provided by Contractor
hereunder, Contractor shall immediately take steps to have the aggregate limit reinstated to the full
extent permitted under such policy.
(6) All insurance coverage's of the Contractor shall be primary to any insurance or self insurance
program carried by the Owner applicable to this Project.

Owner for such costs within thirty (30) days after demand, Owner has the right to offset these costs
from any amount due Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and
Contractor. The Owner shall be under no obligation to purchase such insurance, nor shall it be
responsible for the coverage's purchased or the insurance company or companies used. The

waiver of any of its rights under the Contract Documents.

of the Work or termination of the Agreement, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner, renewal or
replacement Certificate(s) of Insurance not later than ten (10) calendar days after the date of their

conditions by endorsement to the policies:

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;
GC-CA-H-1
1685
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.
GC-CA-H-2
1685
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 limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. No work shall be performed outside the specified hours without the
prior approval of the Project Manager,
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
with its Bid showing the work and materials involved and the dollar amount of each
subcontract and purchase order. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any
modifications to the list of Subcontractors submitted with Contractor's Bid and any
subsequently identified Subcontractors are subject to Owner's prior written approval.
The first Application for Payment shall be submitted no earlier than thirty (30) days after
the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if approved
by Owner in its sole discretion, Contractor may submit its invoice for any required
Payment and Performance Bonds prior to the first Application of Payment provided that
Contractor has furnished Owner certified copies of the receipts evidencing the premium
paid by Contractor for the bonds.
GC-CA-H-3
1685
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 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.
4.4 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.
4.5 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 through out 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 Policy.
GC-CA-H-4
16B5
4.6 Monthly payments to Contractor shall in no way imply approval or acceptance of
Contractor's Work.
4.7 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.
4.8 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.
4.9 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.
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.
GC-CA-H-5
16B5
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.
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
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
GC-CA-H-6
1685
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
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.
GC-CA-H-7
1685
8. DAILY REPORTS, AS-BUlL TS 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
8.1.3
personnel;
Soil conditions which adversely affect the Work;
The hours of operation by Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's
8.1.4 The number of Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's personnel present
and working at the Project site, by subcontract and trade;
8.1.5 All equipment present at the Project site, description of equipment use
and designation of time equipment was used (specifically indicating any down time);
8.1.6 Description of Work being performed at the Project site;
8.1.7 Any unusual or special occurrences at the Project site;
8.1.8 Materials received at the Project site;
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
GC-CA-H-8
1685
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. Owner, or any duly authorized agents or
representatives of Owner, shall have the right to audit, inspect and copy all such
records and documentation as often as they deem necessary during the period of this
Agreement and during the document retention period noted above; provided, however,
such activity shall be conducted only during normal business hours.
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.
GC-CA-H-9
1685
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%).
GC-CA-H-10
1685
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.
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 Policy 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
GC-CA-H-11
1685
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. 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 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
GC-CA-H-12
1685
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
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 without exception or stipulation that it is fully responsible for complying
with the provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 as located at 8
U.S.C. 1324, et seq. and regulations relating thereto, as either may be amended.
Failure by the Contractor to comply with the laws referenced herein shall constitute a
breach of this agreement and the County shall have the discretion to unilaterally
terminate this agreement immediately.
15. CLEANUP AND PROTECTIONS.
15.1 Contractor agrees to keep the Project site clean at all times of debris, rubbish
and waste materials arising out of the Work. At the completion of the Work, Contractor
shall remove all debris, rubbish and waste materials from and about the Project site, as
well as all tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery and surplus
materials, and shall leave the Project site clean and ready for occupancy by Owner.
15.2 Any existing surface or subsurface improvements, including, but not limited to,
pavements, curbs, sidewalks, pipes, utilities, footings, structures, trees and shrubbery,
not indicated in the Contract Documents to be removed or altered, shall be protected by
Contractor from damage during the prosecution of the Work. Subject to the Section 2.3
above, any such improvements so damaged shall be restored by Contractor to the
condition equal to that existing at the time of Contractor's commencement of the Work.
GC-CA-H-13
1685
16. ASSIGNMENT.
16.1 Contractor shall not assign this Agreement or any part thereof, without the prior
consent in writing of Owner. Any attempt to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement,
or any part herein, without the Owner's consent, shall be void. If Contractor does, with
approval, assign this Agreement or any part thereof, it shall require that its assignee be
bound to it and to assume toward Contractor all of the obligations and responsibilities
that Contractor has assumed toward Owner.
17. PERMITS, LICENSES AND TAXES.
17.1 Pursuant to Section 218.80, F.S., Owner will pay for all Collier County permits
and fees, including license fees, permit fees, impact fees or inspection fees applicable
to the Work through an internal budget transfer(s). Contractor is not responsible for
paying for permits issued by Collier County, but Contractor is responsible for acquiring
all permits. Owner may require the Contractor to deliver internal budget transfer
documents to applicable Collier County agencies when the Contractor is acquiring
permits.
17.2 All permits, fees and licenses necessary for the prosecution of the Work which
are not issued by Collier County shall be acquired and paid for by the Contractor.
17.3 Contractor shall pay all sales, consumer, use and other similar taxes associated
with the Work or portions thereof, which are applicable during the performance of the
Work.
18. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT.
18.1 Contractor shall be considered in material default of the Agreement and such
default shall be considered cause for Owner to terminate the Agreement, in whole or in
part, as further set forth in this Section, if Contractor: (1) fails to begin the Work under
the Contract Documents within the time specified herein; or (2) fails to properly and
timely perform the Work as directed by the Project Manager or as provided for in the
approved Progress Schedule; or (3) performs the Work unsuitably or neglects or
refuses to remove materials or to correct or replace such Work as may be rejected as
unacceptable or unsuitable; or (4) discontinues the prosecution of the Work; or (5) fails
to resume Work which has been suspended within a reasonable time after being
notified to do so; or (6) becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, or commits any act
of bankruptcy; or (7) allows any final judgment to stand against it unsatisfied for more
than ten (10) days; or (8) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (9) fails to
obey any applicable codes, laws, ordinances, rules or regulations with respect to the
Work; or (10) materially breaches any other provision of the Contract Documents.
18.2 Owner shall notify Contractor in writing of Contractor's default(s). If Owner
determines that Contractor has not remedied and cured the default(s) within seven (7)
calendar days following receipt by Contractor of said written notice or such longer
period of time as may be consented to by Owner in writing and in its sole discretion,
then Owner, at its option, without releasing or waiving its rights and remedies against
the Contractor's sureties and without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may be
GC-CA-H-14
''''_''''_''___'~_~~_'',__,____'._~.m''..~...~,..,__.,_,___'._"__
16B5
entitled to hereunder or by law, may terminate Contractor's right to proceed under the
Agreement, in whole or in part, and take possession of all or any portion of the Work
and any materials, tools, equipment, and appliances of Contractor, take assignments of
any of Contractor's subcontracts and purchase orders, and complete all or any portion
of Contractor's Work by whatever means, method or agency which Owner, in its sole
discretion, may choose.
18.3 If Owner deems any of the foregoing remedies necessary, Contractor agrees that
it shall not be entitled to receive any further payments hereunder until after the Project is
completed. All moneys expended and all of the costs, losses, damages and extra
expenses, including all management, administrative and other overhead and other
direct and indirect expenses (including Design Professional and attorneys' fees) or
damages incurred by Owner incident to such completion, shall be deducted from the
Contract Amount, and if such expenditures exceed the unpaid balance of the Contract
Amount, Contractor agrees to pay promptly to Owner on demand the full amount of
such excess, including costs of collection, attorneys' fees (including appeals) and
interest thereon at the maximum legal rate of interest until paid. If the unpaid balance of
the Contract Amount exceeds all such costs, expenditures and damages incurred by the
Owner to complete the Work, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. The amount
to be paid to the Contractor or Owner, as the case may be, shall be approved by the
Project Manager, upon application, and this obligation for payment shall survive
termination of the Agreement.
18.4 The liability of Contractor hereunder shall extend to and include the full amount of
any and all sums paid, expenses and losses incurred, damages sustained, and
obligations assumed by Owner in good faith under the belief that such payments or
assumptions were necessary or required, in completing the Work and providing labor,
materials, equipment, supplies, and other items therefore or re-Ietting the Work, and in
settlement, discharge or compromise of any claims, demands, suits, and judgments
pertaining to or arising out of the Work hereunder.
18.5 If, after notice of termination of Contractor's right to proceed pursuant to this
Section, it is determined for any reason that Contractor was not in default, or that its
default was excusable, or that Owner is not entitled to the remedies against Contractor
provided herein, then the termination will be deemed a termination for convenience and
Contractor's remedies against Owner shall be the same as and limited to those afforded
Contractor under Section 19 below.
18.6 In the event (i) Owner fails to make any undisputed payment to Contractor within
thirty (30) days after such payment is due or Owner otherwise persistently fails to fulfill
some material obligation owed by Owner to Contractor under this Agreement, and
(ii) Owner has failed to cure such default within fourteen (14) days of receiving written
notice of same from Contractor, then Contractor may stop its performance under this
Agreement until such default is cured, after giving Owner a second fourteen (14) days
written notice of Contractor's intention to stop performance under the Agreement. If the
Work is so stopped for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive days
through no act or fault of the Contractor or its Subcontractors or their agents or
employees or any other persons performing portions of the Work under contract with the
GC-CA-H-15
1685
Contractor or any Subcontractor, the Contractor may terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice to Owner of Contractor's intent to terminate this Agreement. If Owner
does not cure its default within fourteen (14) days after receipt of Contractor's written
notice, Contractor may, upon fourteen (14) additional days' written notice to the Owner,
terminate the Agreement and recover from the Owner payment for Work performed
through the termination date, but in no event shall Contractor be entitled to payment for
Work not performed or any other damages from Owner.
19. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE AND RIGHT OF SUSPENSION.
19.1 Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without cause upon
seven (7) calendar days written notice to Contractor. In the event of such termination
for convenience, Contractor's recovery against Owner shall be limited to that portion of
the Contract Amount earned through the date of termination, together with any
retainage withheld and reasonable termination expenses incurred, but Contractor shall
not be entitled to any other or further recovery against Owner, including, but not limited
to, damages or any anticipated profit on portions of the Work not performed.
19.2 Owner shall have the right to suspend all or any portions of the Work upon giving
Contractor not less than two (2) calendar days' prior written notice of such suspension.
If all or any portion of the Work is so suspended, Contractor's sole and exclusive
remedy shall be to seek an extension of time to its schedule in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Contract Documents. In no event shall the Contractor be
entitled to any additional compensation or damages. Provided, however, if the ordered
suspension exceeds six (6) months, the Contractor shall have the right to terminate the
Agreement with respect to that portion of the Work which is subject to the ordered
suspension.
20. COMPLETION.
20.1 When the entire Work (or any portion thereof designated in writing by Owner) is
ready for its intended use, Contractor shall notify Project Manager in writing that the
entire Work (or such designated portion) is substantially complete. Within a reasonable
time thereafter, Owner, Contractor and Design Professional shall make an inspection of
the Work (or designated portion thereof) to determine the status of completion. If
Owner, after conferring with the Design Professional, does not consider the Work (or
designated portion) substantially complete, Project Manager shall notify Contractor in
writing giving the reasons therefore. If Owner, after conferring with the Design
Professional, considers the Work (or designated portion) substantially complete, Project
Manager shall prepare and deliver to Contractor a Certificate of Substantial Completion
which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion for the entire Work (or designated
portion thereof) and include a tentative punch-list of items to be completed or corrected
by Contractor before final payment. Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor
from the Work and Project site (or designated portion thereof) after the date of
Substantial Completion, but Owner shall allow Contractor reasonable access to
complete or correct items on the tentative punch-list.

1685
20.2 Upon receipt of written certification by Contractor that the Work is completed in
accordance with the Contract Documents and is ready for final inspection and
acceptance, Project Manager and Design Professional will make such inspection and, if
they find the Work acceptable and fully performed under the Contract Documents shall
promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment, recommending that, on the basis of their
observations and inspections, and the Contractor's certification that the Work has been
completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, that
the entire balance found to be due Contractor is due and payable. Neither the final
payment nor the retainage shall become due and payable until Contractor submits:
(1) Receipt of Contractor's Final Application for Payment.
(2) The Release and Affidavit in the form attached as Exhibit C.
(3) Consent of surety to final payment.
(4) Receipt of the final payment check list.
(5) If required by Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of all
obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, arising out of
the Contract Documents, to the extent and in such form as may be
designated by Owner.
Owner reserves the right to inspect the Work and make an independent determination
as to the Work's acceptability, even though the Design Professional may have issued its
recommendations. Unless and until the Owner is completely satisfied, neither the final
payment nor the retainage shall become due and payable.
21. WARRANTY.
21.1 Contractor shall obtain and assign to Owner all express warranties given to
Contractor or any subcontractors by any subcontractor or materialmen supplying
materials, equipment or fixtures to be incorporated into the Project. Contractor warrants
to Owner that any materials and equipment furnished under the Contract Documents
shall be new unless otherwise specified, and that all Work shall be of good quality, free
from all defects and in conformance with the Contract Documents. Contractor further
warrants to Owner that all materials and equipment furnished under the Contract
Documents shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned and
conditioned in accordance with the instructions of the applicable manufacturers,
fabricators, suppliers or processors except as otherwise provided for in the Contract
Documents. If, within one (1) year after Substantial Completion, any Work is found to
be defective or not in conformance with the Contract Documents, Contractor shall
correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from Owner. Contractor shall also be
responsible for and pay for replacement or repair of adjacent materials or Work which
may be damaged as a result of such replacement or repair. Further, in the event of an
emergency, Owner may commence to correct any defective Work, without prior notice
to Contractor, at Contractor's expense. These warranties are in addition to those
implied warranties to which Owner is entitled as a matter of law.
21.2 No later than 30 days prior to expiration of the warranty, the Project Manager, or
another representative of the Owner, shall conduct an inspection of the warranted work
to verify compliance with the requirements of the Agreement. The Contractor's
GC-CA-H-17
Representative shall be present at the time of inspection and shall take remedial acti!? B 5
to correct any deficiencies noted in the inspection. Failure of the Contractor to correct
the cited deficiencies shall be grounds for the Owner to disqualify the Contractor from
future bid opportunities with the Owner, in addition to any other rights and remedies
available to Owner.
22. TESTS AND INSPECTIONS.
22.1 Owner, Design Professional, their respective representatives, agents and
employees, and governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Project shall have
access at all times to the Work, whether the Work is being performed on or off of the
Project site, for their observation, inspection and testing. Contractor shall provide
proper, safe conditions for such access. Contractor shall provide Project Manager with
timely notice of readiness of the Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals.
22.2 If the Contract Documents or any codes, laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of
any public authority having jurisdiction over the Project requires any portion of the Work
to be specifically inspected, tested or approved, Contractor shall assume full
responsibility therefore, pay all costs in connection therewith and furnish Project
Manager the required certificates of inspection, testing or approval. All inspections,
tests or approvals shall be performed in a manner and by organizations acceptable to
the Project Manager.
22.3 Contractor is responsible, without reimbursement from Owner, for re-inspection
fees and costs; to the extent such re-inspections are due to the fault or neglect of
Contractor.
22.4 If any Work that is to be inspected, tested or approved is covered without written
concurrence from the Project Manager, such work must, if requested by Project
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
expense.
22.5 The Owner shall charge to Contractor and may deduct from any payments due
Contractor all engineering and inspection expenses incurred by Owner in connection
with any overtime work. Such overtime work consisting of any work during the
construction period beyond the regular eight (8) hour day and for any work performed
on Saturday, Sunday or holidays.
22.6 Neither observations nor other actions by the Project Manager or Design
Professional nor inspections, tests or approvals by others shall relieve Contractor from
Contractor's obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
GC-CA-H-18
23. DEFECTIVE WORK.
16B5
23.1 Work not conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents or any
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.
23.2 If the Project Manager considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be
observed by Design Professional or inspected or tested by others and such Work is not
otherwise required to be inspected or tested, Contractor, at Project Manager's request,
shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or tests
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
Contract Amount. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall
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
accept defective Work. If such determination is rendered prior to final payment, a
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
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
GC-CA-H-19
""'~'~'''------'---_'~-'.._-~,,-,~..,..,...,._....,...---~"."~"""""_._-'~'---""'-"-"~'~'-' ....----.......-.--....--
1685
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
the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Project site or for which Owner has
paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Design
Professional and their respective representatives, agents, and employees such access
to the Project site as may be necessary to enable Owner to exercise the rights and
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,

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 87-25, 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.

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 will be an additional insured on
all liability insurance policies required to be provided by the Subcontractor except

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

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.

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.
GC-CA-H-26
1685
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.

End of Section I
SECTION II - DIRECTIONAL BORING (FDOT REV. 5-24-02)(FA 7-24-02) (1- 03)
1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 SCOPE OF WORK: The work specified in this Section documents the
approved construction methods, procedures and material for
Directional Boring, also commonly called Horizontal Directional
Drilling (HDD).
1.2 GENERAL: HDD is a trenchless method for installing a product that
serves as a conduit for liquids, gasses, or as a duct for pipe, cable,
or wire line products. It is a multi-stage process consisting of site
preparation and restoration, equipment setup, and drilling a pilot bore
along a predetermined path and then pulling the product back through
the drilled space. When necessary, enlargement of the pilot bore
hole may be necessary to accommodate a product larger than the
pilot bore hole size. This process is referred to as back reaming and
is done at the same time the product is being pulled back through the
pilot borehole.
1.3 Accomplish alignment of the bore by proper orientation of the drill bit

radio detection device which picks up a radio signal generated from a
transmitter located within the drill bit head. Then electronically
translate the radio signal into depth and alignment. In order to
minimize friction and prevent collapse of the borehole, introduce a
soil-stabilizing agent (drilling fluid) into the annular bore space from
the trailing end of the drill bit. The rotation of the bit in the soil
wetted by the drilling fluid creates a slurry. The slurry acts to
stabilize the surrounding soil and prevent collapse of the borehole as
well as provides lubrication.
1.4 Select or design drilling fluids for the site-specific soil and ground
water conditions. Confine free flowing (escaping) slurry or drilling
fluids at the ground surface during pull back or drilling. Accomplish
this by creating sump areas or vacuum operations to prevent damage
or hazardous conditions in surrounding areas. Remove all residual
slurry from the surface and restore the site to preconstruction
conditions.
2 MATERIALS
2.1 GENERAL: Materials are defined as pipe or conduit that becomes the
installed product. Incidental materials that mayor may not be used
to install the product depending on field requirements are not paid for
separately and will be included in the cost of the installed product.
2.2 MATERIAL TYPE: The following material standards are to be
interpreted as the minimum in place standards. Use materials that
are appropriate for the stresses generated by the selected equipment
and field conditions. It is not intended to portray that the use of
materials with these minimum material standards will retain their
required properties if the stress limits are exceeded for which they
were designed during installation. Ensure that the appropriate
material is used to retain compliance.

3 CONSTRUCTION SITE REQUIREMENTS
3.1 LEGAL PROVISIONS: Comply with the following site condition
provisions:
a. Chapter 556, FS for Sunshine State One Call. Use methods for
marking utilities that minimize the impact on other construction or
maintenance activities, including mowing operations, which may
be conducted throughout the project on a cyclic basis. Limit
marking to painting unless approved by the Engineer. When and
where flagging of existing utilities is required, limit flagging to an
area for which construction can be accomplished in no more than
14 consecutive days, unless approved by the Engineer.
b. The Americans with Disabilities Act. When and where product
lines are temporarily allowed to be exposed through the sidewalk
areas for periods exceeding two consecutive work days, ensure
that an alternate route is provided that meets ADA requirements.
3.2 SITE CONDITIONS:
a. Carry out excavation for entry, exit, recovery pits, slurry sump
pits, or any other excavation as specified in Section 120. Sump
pits are required to contain drilling fluids if vacuum devices are
not operated throughout the drilling operation, unless approved
by the Engineer.
b. Within 48 hours of completing installation of the boring product,
clean the work site of all excess slurry or spoils. Take
responsibility for the removal and final disposition of excess
slurry or spoils. Ensure that the work site is restored to pre-
construction conditions or as identified on the plans.
c. Provide MOT in accordance with the Florida Department of
Transportation Design Standards and the MUTCD when and
where the former is silent.
d. Exposure of product shall be limited to 3 feet (1 m) and 14
consecutive days unless approved by the Engineer.
3.3 DAMAGE RESTORATION: Take responsibility for restoration for any
damage caused by heaving, settlement, separation of pavement,
escaping drilling fluid (frac-out), or the directional drilling
operations, at no cost to the Department.
3.3.1 REMEDIATION PLANS: When required by the Engineer, provide
detailed plans which show how damage to any roadway facility will
be remedied. These details will become part of the As-Built Plans
package. Remediation Plans must follow the same guidelines for
development and presentation of the As-Built Plans. When
GC-CA-J-4
1685 .
remediation plans are required, they must be approved by the
Engineer before any work proceeds.
4 QUALITY CONTROL
4.1 GENERAL: Take control of the operation at all times. Have a
representative who is thoroughly knowledgeable of the equipment,
boring and Departmental procedures, present at the job site during
the entire installation and available to address immediate concerns
and emergency operations. Notify the Engineer 48 hours in advance
of starting work. Do not begin installation until the Engineer is
present at the jobsite and agrees that proper preparations have
been made.
4.1.1 PRODUCT TESTING: Where there is any indication that the
installed product has sustained damage and may leak, stop all work,
notify the Engineer and investigate damage. The Engineer may
require a pressure test and reserves the right to be present during
the test. Perform pressure test within 24 hours unless otherwise
approved by the Engineer. Furnish a copy of the test results to the
Engineer for review and approval. The Engineer is allowed up to 72
hours to approve or determine if the product installation is not in
compliance with the specifications. The Engineer may require non-
compliant installations to be filled with excavatable flowable fill.
4.1.2 TESTING METHODS: Testing may consist of one of the following
methods and must always meet or exceed the Department's testing
requirements:
a. Follow the product manufacturer's pressure testing
recommendations.
b. Ensure that product carrier pipes installed without a casing meet
the pressure requirements set by the owner. If the owner does
not require pressure testing, the Engineer may require at least
one test.
c. A water tight pipe and joint configuration where the product is
installed beneath any pavement (including sidewalk) and front
shoulders is required. The Engineer will determine when and
where water tight joint requirements will be applied to the
ultimate roadway section for future widening. When a product is
located elsewhere, the pipe and joint configuration must meet or
exceed soil tight joint requirements. Conduct tests for joint
integrity for one hour. The test for soil tight joint allows up to 0.1
gallon (0.4 liter) of water leakage at a sustained pressure of 2
PSI (13.79kPa). The watertight joint criteria allow no leakage at
all for a sustained pressure of 5 PSI (34.47kPa).
GC-CA-J-5
16B5'"
4.1.3 FAILED BORE PATH: If conditions warrant removal of any
materials installed in a failed bore path, as determined by the
Engineer, it will be at no cost to the Department. Promptly fill all
voids by injecting all taken out of service products that have any
annular space with excavatable flowable fill.
4.2 PRODUCT LOCATING AND TRACKING: The method of locating and
tracking the drill head during the pilot bore will be shown in the
plans. The Department recognizes walkover, wire line, and wire line
with surface grid verification, or any other system as approved by
the Engineer, as the accepted methods of tracking directional bores.
Use a locating and tracking system capable of ensuring that the
proposed installation is installed as intended. IF an area of radio
signal interference is expected to exceed 5 feet (1.5 m), the
Engineer may specify the use of a suitable tracking system. The
locating and tracking system must provide information on:
a. Clock and pitch information
b. Depth
c. Transmitter temperature
d. Battery status
e. Position (x, y)
f. Azimuth, where direct overhead readings (walkover) are not
possible (i.e. subaqueous or limited access transportation
facility)
g. Ensure proper calibration of all equipment before commencing
directional drilling operation.
h. Take and record alignment readings or plot points such that
elevations on top of and offset dimensions from the center of the
product to a permanent fixed feature are provided. Such
permanent fixed features must have prior approval of the
Engineer. Provide elevations and dimensions at al bore
alignment corrections (vertical and horizontal) with a minimum
distance between points of 100 feet (30m). Provide a sufficient
number of elevations and offset distances to accurately plot the
vertical and horizontal alignment of the installed product. A
minimum of three elevation and plot points are required.
Install all facilities such that their locations can be readily
determined by electronic designation after installation. For non-
conductive installations, attach a minimum of two separate and
continuous conductive tracking (tone wire) materials, either
externally, internally or integral with the product. Use either a
continuous green-sheathed solid conductor copper wire line
(minimum #12 AWG for external placement or minimum #14 AWG for
internal placement in conduit/casing) or a coated conductive tape.
Conductors must be located on opposite sides when installed
GC-CA-J-6
16B5~'~
externally. Connect any break in the conductor line before
construction with an electrical clamp, or solder, and coat the
connection with a rubber or plastic insulator to maintain the integrity
of the connection from corrosion. Clamp connections must be made
of brass or copper and of the butt end type with wires secured by
compression. Soldered connections must be made by tight spiral
winding of each wire around the other with a finished length
minimum of 3 inches (76 mm) overlap. Tracking conductors must
extend 2 feet (610 mm) beyond the bore termini. Test conductors
for continuity. Each conductor that passes must be identified as
such by removing the last 6 inches (152 mm) of the sheath. No
deductions are allowed for failed tracking conductors. Failed
conductor ends must be wound into a small coil and left attached for
future use.
4.3 PRODUCT BORE HOLE DIAMETER: Minimize potential damage
from soil displacement/settlement by limiting the ratio of the bore
hole to the product size. The size of the back reamer bit or pilot bit,
if no back reaming is required, will be limited relative to the product
diameter to be installed as follows:

4.4 DRILLING FLUIDS: Use a mixture of bentonite clay or the other
approved stabilizing agent mixed with potable water with a minimum
ph of 6.0 to create the drilling fluid for lubrication and soil
stabilization. Vary the fluid viscosity to best fit the soil conditions
encountered. Do not use any other chemicals or polymer
surfactants in the drilling fluid without written consent from the
Engineer. Certify to the Engineer in writing that any chemicals to be
added are environmentally safe and not harmful or corrosive to the
facility. Identify the source of water for mixing the drilling fluid.
Approvals and permits are required for obtaining water from such
sources as streams, rivers, ponds or fire hydrants. Any water
source used other than a potable water may require a pH test.

applicable product size must be determined by the diameter of a circle that will
circumscribe the individual conduits as a qroup.
5 DRILLING OPERATIONS:
5.1 INSTALLATION PROCESS: Ensure adequate removal of soil cuttings
and stability of the bore hole by monitoring the drilling fluids such as
the pumping rate, pressures, viscosity and density during the pilot
bore, back reaming and pipe installation. Relief holes can be used
as necessary to relieve excess pressure down hole. Obtain the
Engineer's approval of the location and all conditions necessary to
construct relief holes to ensure the proper disposition of drilling
fluids is maintained and unnecessary inconvenience is minimized to
other facility users.
To minimize heaving during pull back, the pull back rate is
determined in order to maximize the removal of soil cuttings without
building excess down hole pressure. Contain excess drilling fluids
at entry and exit points until they are recycled or removed form the
site of vacuumed during drilling operations. Ensure that entry and
exit pits are of sufficient size to contain the expected return of
drilling fluids and soil cuttings.
Ensure that all drilling fluids are disposed of or recycled in a manner
acceptable to the appropriate local, state, or federal regulatory
agencies. When drilling in suspected contaminated ground, test the
drilling fluid for contamination and appropriately dispose of it.
Remove any excess material upon completion of the bore. IF in the
drilling process it becomes evident that the soil is contaminated,
contact the Engineer immediately. Do not continue drilling without
the Engineer's approval.
The timing of all boring processes is critical. Install a product into a
bore hole within the same day that the pre-bore is completed to
ensure necessary support exists.
5.2 BORING FAILURE: If an obstruction is encountered during boring
which prevents completion of the installation in accordance with the
design location and specifications, the pipe may be taken out of
GC-CA-J-9
1685
service and left in place at the discretion of the Engineer.
Immediately fill the product left in place with excavatable flowable
fill. Submit a new installation procedure and revised plans to the
Engineer for approval before resuming work at another location. If,
during construction, damage is observed to the FDOT/County
facility, cease of all work until resolution to minimize further damage
and a plan of action for restoration is obtained and approved by the
Engineer.
6 DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS:
6.1 BORING PATH REPORT: Furnish a bore Path Report to the
Engineer within seven days of the completion of each bore path.

6.2 AS-BUILT PLANS: Provide the Engineer a complete set of As-Built
Plans showing all bores (successful and failed) within 30 calendar
days of completing the work. Ensure that the plans are
dimensionally correct copies of the Contract plans and include
roadway plans and profile, cross-section, boring location and
subsurface conditions as directed by the Engineer. The plans must
show appropriate elevations and be referenced to a Department
Bench Mark when associated with a Department project, otherwise
use USGS grid system and datum, or a specific location on top of an
existing Department headwall. Plans must be in the same scale in
black ink on white paper, of the same size and weight as the
contract plans. Submittal of electronic plans date in lieu of hard
copy plans is preferred any may be approved by the Engineer if
compatible with the Department software. Specific plans content
requirements include but may not be limited to the following:

On profile plans for bore paths crossing the roadway show
stationing of the crossing on the Contract plans. On the profile
plans for the bore paths paralleling the roadway, show the
Contract plans stationing. If the profile plan for the bore path is
not made on a copy of one of the Contract profile or cross-
section sheets, use a 10 to 1 vertical exaggeration.
c. If, during boring, an obstruction is encountered which prevents
completion of the installation in accordance with the design
location and specification, and the product is left in place and
taken out of service, show the failed bore path along with the
final bore path on the plans. Note the failed bore path as "Failed
Bore Path - Taken Out of Service". Also show the name of the
Utility owner, location and length of the drill head and any drill
stems not removed from the bore path.
d. Show the top elevation, diameter and material type of all utilities
encountered and physically observed during the subsoil
investigation. For all other obstructions encountered during a
subsoil investigation or the installation, show the type of material,
horizontal and vertical location, top and lowest elevation
observed, and note if the obstruction continues below the lowest
point observed.
e. Include bore notes on each plan stating the final bore path
diameter, product diameter, drilling fluid composition,
composition of any other materials used to fill the annular void
between the bore path and the product, or facility placed out of
service. Note if the product is a casing as well as the size and
type of carrier pipe placed within the casing as part of the
Contract work.
7 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: The method of measurement will
be based on the length of product measured in place along the
surface of the ground, complete and accepted. No additions or
deductions will be made for sweeps in either the vertical or
horizontal direction to complete the installation.
8 BASIS OF PAYMENT: Payment will be full compensation for all
work specified in this Section, including all installations, from plan
point of beginning to plan point of ending (i.e. pull box) at plan
depth, product, tracking conductor, removal of excavated materials
and spoils, removal and disposal of drilling fluids, backfilling, and
complete restoration of the site. Bundled product in a single bore
will be paid for as a single bore based on the required drill bit head
GC-CA-J-11
1685
or reamer head size. Separate payment shall not be made for
individual products in a bundle.
The installation and attachment of tracking conductors (wire or tape)
will be included in the cost of the bore and will not be paid for
separately.
No payment will be made for failed bore paths, injection of flowable
fill, products taken out of service or incomplete installations.
No payment will be made for directional boring until a Bore Path
Report has been delivered to the Engineer. After the Engineer's
acceptance of the Bore Path Report, payment will be made in the
amount of 70% of the unit price bid, for Directional Boring. The
remaining 30% of the unit price bid will be made after submittal of
As-Built Plans, in accordance with Section 6.2.
Payment will be made under:
Item NO.1 Directional Bore - per foot of bore diameter
Item No. Directional Bore - per meter of bore diameter
OVERSIZE DIRECTIONAL BORING REVIEW PROCEDURE
The following rule applies in accordance with provisions contained in the
Utility Accommodation Manual.
All bores larger than 6 inches total (for example 2-4 inch, 7 inch, 3-3 inch)
must be approved by the STATE UTILITY ENGINEER, unless the District
Maintenance or Construction Office can establish compliance based on
the following conditions:
1. The Utility bore depth will equal or exceed 10 times the
bore size when the utility will be installed under FDOT
pavement, OR
2. When installations are outside of the pavement area, the
offset parallel to the pavement must be at least 3.5 times
the bore size, OR
3. The soils blow count is at least 30 blows per foot based on
standard penetration tests in the area of installation.
4. New bore installations must maintain at least 3.5 times the
bore size clearance from vitrified clay pipe sanitary and any
gas lines.
5. Permit must demonstrate the location (vertically and
horizontally) and type of all utilities within at least 3.5 times
the bore size in the immediate vicinity of the proposed work
by the Permittee.
GC-CA-J-12
16B5
If the Permittee can comply with the above, there is no need for the State
Utility Engineer to review the Permit. If compliance cannot be achieved,
before a review can be conducted, information regarding the soils in the
area of the installation must be acquired. This must include blow counts
at least through a depth of 10 times the bore or 2 feet into a strata
providing a blow count of 30 or more. If a blow count of 30 is reached at
a depth of 4 feet then the soils data need only proceed to a depth of 6
feet. As an option to acquiring Geotech Services, the Permittee may use
FDOT soils data from old FDOT plans when available. It is the
Permittee's responsibility to acquire this information, and not the FDOT to
do the research.
When the permits engineer gets the required data, he or she should call
to explain the situation. Do not send any permits to the State Utility
Engineer to sign off on.
