CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, ("Owner")
hereby contracts with Cosugas LLC ("Contractor") of Corporation, a 719 Shotgun Rd Sunrise,
FL 33326, authorized to do business in the State of Florida, to perform all work ("Work") in
connection with Naples Regional (Central) Library Refurbishment Invitation to Bid No. 20-
7809-ST ("Project"), as said Work is set forth in the Plans and Specifications prepared by
Victor J. Latavish Architect, PA, 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 Cl"d 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 Five Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($1,560,000.00).
Section 4. Bonds.
A. If applicable, the Contractor shall provide Performance and Payment Bonds, in the form
prescribed in Exhibit B-1 and B-2, in the amount of 100% of the Contract Amount, the costs of
which are to be paid by Contractor. The Performance and Payment Bonds shall be underwritten
by a surety authorized to do business in the State of Florida and otherwise acceptable to Owner;
provided, however, the surety shall meet the requirements of the Department of the Treasury
Fiscal Service, "Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal
Bonds and as Acceptable Reinsurance Companies" circular. This circular may be accessed via
the web at www,fms.treas.aov/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.
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
B. If the surety for any bond furnished by Contractor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent,
its right to do business is terminated in the State of Florida, or it ceases to meet the requirements
imposed by the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, within five (5) calendar days thereafter,
substitute at its cost and expense another bond and surety, both of which shall be subject to the
Owner's approval.
Section 5. Contract Time and Liquidated Damages.
A. Time of Performance.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work under this Agreement. The
"Commencement Date" shall be established in the written Notice to Proceed to be issued by the
Project Manager, as hereinafter defined. Contractor shall commence the Work within five (5)
calendar days from the Commencement Date. No Work shall be performed at the Project site
prior to the Commencement Date. Any Work performed by Contractor prior to the
Commencement Date shall be at the sole risk of Contractor. Contractor shall achieve Substantial
Completion within two hundred seventy (270) calendar days from the Commencement Date
(herein "Contract Time"). The date of Substantial Completion of the Work (or designated portions
thereof) is the date certified by the Design Professional when construction is sufficiently complete,
in accordance with the Contract Documents, so Owner can occupy or utilize the Work (or
designated portions thereof) for the use for which it is intended. Contractor shall achieve Final
Completion within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of Substantial Completion. Final
Completion shall occur when the Agreement is completed in its entirety, is accepted by the Owner
as complete and is so stated by the Owner as completed. As used herein and throughout the
Contract Documents, the phrase "Project Manager" refers to the Owner's duly authorized
representative and shall mean the Division Administrator or Department Director, as applicable,
acting directly or through duly authorized representatives.
B. Liquidated Damages in General.
Owner and Contractor recognize that, since time is of the essence for this Agreement, Owner will
suffer financial loss if Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion within the time specified
above, as said time may be adjusted as provided for herein. In such event, the total amount of
)wner'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, One
Thousand Six Hundred Ninety Dollars ($1,690.00) 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.
2
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7) ,�
D. Determination of Number of Days of Default.
For all contracts, regardless of whether the Contract Time is stipulated in calendar days or working
days, the Owner will count default days in calendar days.
E. Right of Collection.
The Owner has the right to apply any amounts due Contractor under this Agreement or any other
agreement between Owner and Contractor, as payment on such liquidated damages due under
this Agreement in Owner's sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Owner retains its right to liquidated damages due under this Agreement even if Contractor, at
Owner's election and in its sole discretion, is allowed to continue and to finish the Work, or any
part of it, after the expiration of the Contract Time including granted time extensions.
F. Completion of Work by Owner.
In the event Contractor defaults on any of its obligations under the Agreement and Owner elects
to complete the Work, in whole or in part, through another contractor or its own forces, the
Contractor and its surety shall continue to be liable for the liquidated damages under the
Agreement until Owner achieves Substantial and Final Completion of the Work. Owner will not
charge liquidated damages for any delay in achieving Substantial or Final Completion as a result
of any unreasonable action or delay on the part of the Owner.
G. Final Acceptance by Owner.
The Owner shall consider the Agreement complete when the Contractor has completed in its
entirety all of the Work and the Owner has accepted all of the Work and notified the Contractor in
writing that the Work is complete. Once the Owner has approved and accepted the Work,
Contractor shall be entitled to final payment in accordance with the terms of the Contract
Documents.
H. Recovery of Damages Suffered by Third Parties.
Contractor shall be liable to Owner to the extent Owner incurs damages from a third party as a
result of Contractor's failure to fulfill all of its obligations under the Contract Documents. Owner's
recovery of any delay related damages under this Agreement through the liquidated damages
does not preclude Owner from recovering from Contractor any other non -delay related damages
that may be owed to it arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

ARTICLE I
_.... nvs�nc
The parties to this agreement are the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Cosugas LLC Verify Employer Agent). The purpose of this agreement is to set forth terms and conditions which the
E-Verify Employer Agent will follow while participating in E-Verify.
E-Verify is a program that electronically confirms an employee's eligibility to work in the United States
after completion of Form 1.9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9). This Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) explains certain features of the E-Verify program and describes specific
responsibilities of the E-Verify Employer Agent, the Employer, DHS, and the Social Security
Administration (SSA).
The Employer is not a party to this MOU; however, this MOU contains a section titled Responsibilities
of the Employer. This section is provided to inform E-Verify Employer Agents acting on behalf of the
Employer of the responsibilities and obligations their clients are required to meet. The Employer is
bound by these responsibilities through signing a separate MOU during their enrollment as a client of
the E-Verify Employer Agent, The E-Verify program requires an initial agreement between DHS and the
::.Verify Employer Agent as part of the enrollment process. After agreeing to the MOU as set forth
herein, completing the tutorial, and obtaining access to E-Verify as an E-Verify Employer Agent, the
:-Verify Employer Agent will be given an opportunity to add a client once logged into E-Verify. All
parties, including the Employer, will then be required to sign and submit a separate MOU to E-Verify.
The responsibilities of the parties remain the same in each MOU.
Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A, of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA)1 Pub. L. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009, as amended (8 U.S.C.
§ 1324a note). The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 22.18, "Employment Eligibility
Verification" and Executive Order 12989, as amended, provide authority for Federal contractors and
subcontractors (Federal contractor) to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of certain
employees working on Federal contracts.

Page 3 of 19 E-Verify MOU for E-Verify Employer Agents I Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number: 1601715
Employer Agent's responsibility to ensure that its clients are in compliance with all E-Verify policies and
procedures.
1. The Employer agrees to display the following notices supplied by DHS in a prominent place that is
clearly visible to prospective employees and all employees who are to be verified through the system:
a. Notice of E-Verify Participation
b. Notice of Right to Work
2. The Employer agrees to provide to the SSA and DHS the names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of the Employer representatives to be contacted about E-Verify. The Employer also agrees to
keep such information current by providing updated information to SSA and DHS whenever the
representatives' contact information changes.
3. The Employer shall become familiar with and comply with the most recent version of the E-Verify
User Manual. The Employer will obtain the E-Verify User Manual from the E-Verify Employer Agent.
4. The Employer agrees to comply with current Form I-9 procedures, with two exceptions:
a. If an employee presents a "List B" identity document, the Employer agrees to only accept "List
B" documents that contain a photo. (List B documents identified in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.2(b)(1)(B)) can
be presented during the Form I-9 process to establish identity.) If an employee objects to the photo
requirement for religious reasons, the Employer should contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218.
b. If an employee presents a DHS Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card), Form I-766
(Employment Authorization Document), or U.S. Passport or Passport Card to complete Form I-9,
the Employer agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the
employee's Form 1.9. The Employer will use the photocopy to verify the photo and to assist DHS
with its review of photo mismatches that employees contest. DHS may in the future designate
other documents that activate the photo screening tool.
Note: Subject only to the exceptions noted previously in this paragraph, employees still retain the right
to present any List A, or List B and List C, document(s) to complete the Form I-9.
5. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form I-9 or to print
the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form I-9.
6. The Employer agrees that, although it participates in E-Verify, the Employer has a responsibility to
complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms I-9 that relate to its employees, or from other
requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the
antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with respect to Form k9 procedures.
a. The following modified requirements are the only exceptions to an Employer's obligation to not
employ unauthorized workers and comply with the anti -discrimination provision of the INA: (1) List B
identity documents must have photos, as described in paragraph 4 above; (2) When an Employer
confirms the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employee using E-Verify procedures,
the Employer establishes a rebuttable presumption that it has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with respect to the hiring of that employee; (3) If the
Employer receives a final nonconfirmation for an employee, but continues to employ that person,
Page 4 of 19 E-Verify MOU for E-Verify Employer Agents I Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number: 1601715
the Employer must notify DHS and the Employer is subject to a civil money penalty between $550
and $1,100 for each failure to notify DHS of continued employment following a final
nonconfirmation; (4) If the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final
nonconfirmation, then the Employer is subject to a rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly
employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1)(A); and (5) no E-Verify participant
is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information
provided through the E-Verify.
b. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form I-9 compliance inspections, as well as any other
enforcement or compliance activity authorized by law, including site visits, to ensure proper use of
:.Verify.
7. The Employer is strictly prohibited from creating an E-Verify case before the employee has been
hired, meaning that a firm offer of employment was extended and accepted and Form I-9 was
completed. The Employer agrees to create an E-Verify case for new employees within three Employer
business days after each employee has been hired (after both Sections 1 and 2 of Form I-9 have beer
completed), and to complete as many steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the
E-Verify User Manual. If E-Verify is temporarily unavailable, the three-day time period will be extended
until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make
inquiries during the period of unavailability.
8. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify for pre -employment screening of job applicants, in support
of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use that this MOU or the E-Verify User Manual
does not authorize.
9. The Employer must use E-Verify (through its E-Verify Employer Agent) for all new employees. The
Employer will not verify selectively and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this
MOU. Employers who are Federal contractors may qualify for exceptions to this requirement as
described in Article II.B of this MOU.
10. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III below) regarding tentative
nonconfirmations. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding and provide
them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee's E-Verify case. The
Employer agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with
limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written referral instructions
to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter to the SSA. The
Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees
if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending. Further, when employees contest
a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo mismatch, the Employer must take additional steps
(see Article 111,13 below) to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge.
11. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the
employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification
request unless the Employer obtains knowledge (as defined in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.1(1)) that the employee
is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated
verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative nonconfirmation, a case in continuance
(indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo
Page 5 of 19 E-Verify MOU for E-Verify Employer Agents i Revision Date 06/01/13
'41.51"nr•e
Company ID Number: 1601715
mismatch, does not establish, and should not be interpreted as, evidence that the employee is not work
authorized. In any of such cases, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest
the finding, and if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse
employment consequences based upon the employee's perceived employment eligibility status
(including denying, reducing, or extending work hours, delaying or preventing training, requiring an
employee to work in poorer conditions, withholding pay, refusing to assign the employee to a Federal
contract or other assignment, or otherwise assuming that he or she is unauthorized to work) until and
unless secondary verification by SSA or DHS has been completed and a final nonconfirmation has
been issued. If the employee does not choose to contest a tentative nonconfirmation or a photo
mismatch or if a secondary verification is completed and a final nonconfirmation is issued, then the
Employer can find the employee is not work authorized and terminate the employee's employment.
Employers or employees with questions about a final nonconfirmation may call E-Verify at 1-888-464-
4218 (customer service) or 1-888-897-7781 (worker hotline).
12. The Employer agrees to comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and section 274E of
the INA as applicable by not discriminating unlawfully against any individual in hiring, firing,
employment eligibility verification, or recruitment or referral practices because of his or her national
origin or citizenship status, or by committing discriminatory documentary practices. The Employer
understands that such illegal practices can include selective verification or use of E-Verify except as
provided in part D below, or discharging or refusing to hire employees because they appear or sound
'foreign" or have received tentative nonconfirmations. The Employer further understands that any
violation of the immigration -related unfair employment practices provisions in section 274B of the INA
could subject the Employer to civil penalties, back pay awards, and other sanctions, and violations of
Title VI I could subject the Employer to back pay awards, compensatory and punitive damages.
Violations of either section 274B of the INA or Title VII may also lead to the termination of its
participation in E-Verify. If the Employer has any questions relating to the anti -discrimination provision,
it should contact OSC at 1-800-255-8155 or 1-800-237-2515 (TDD).
13. The Employer agrees that it will use the information it receives from E-Verify (through its E-Verify
Employer Agent) only to confirm the employment eligibility of employees as authorized by this MOU.
The Employer agrees that it will safeguard this information, and means of access to it (such as PINS
and passwords), to ensure that it is not used for any other purpose and as necessary to protect its
confidentiality, including ensuring that it is not disseminated to any person other than employees of the
Employer who are authorized to perform the Employer's responsibilities under this MOU, except for
such dissemination as may be authorized in advance by SSA or DHS for legitimate purposes.
14. The Employer agrees to notify DHS immediately in the event of a breach of personal information.
Breaches are defined as loss of control or unauthorized access to E-Verify personal data. All
suspected or confirmed breaches should be reported by calling 1-8884644218 or via email at
E-Verify@dhs.gov. Please use "Privacy Incident — Password" in the subject line of your email when
sending a breach report to E-Verify.
15. The Employer acknowledges that the information it receives through the E-Verify Employer Agent
from SSA is governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(1) and (3)) and the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 1306(a)). Any person who obtains this information under false pretenses or uses it for any
purpose other than as provided for in this MOU may be subject to criminal penalties.

Company ID Number: 1601715
16. The Employer agrees to cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance monitoring and
evaluation of E-Verify (whether directly or through their E-Verify Employer Agent), which includes
permitting DHS, SSA, their contractors and other agents, upon reasonable notice, to review Forms I-9
and other employment records and to interview it and its employees regarding the Employer's use of
:-Verify, and to respond in a prompt and accurate manner to DHS requests for information relating to
their participation in E-Verify.
17. The Employer shall not make any false or unauthorized claims or references about its participation
in E-Verify on its website, in advertising materials, or other media. The Employer shall not describe its
services as federally -approved, federally -certified, or federally -recognized, or use language with a
similar intent on its website or other materials provided to the public. Entering into this MOU does not
mean that E-Verify endorses or authorizes your E-Verify services and any claim to that effect is false.
18. The Employer shall not state in its website or other public documents that any language used
therein has been provided or approved by DHS, USCIS or the Verification Division, without first
obtaining the prior written consent of DHS.
19. The Employer agrees that E-Verify trademarks and logos may be used only under license by
DHS/USCIS (see M-795 (Web)) and, other than pursuant to the specific terms of such license, may not
be used in any manner that might imply that the Employer's services, products, websites, or
publications are sponsored by, endorsed by, licensed by, or affiliated with DHS, USCIS, or E-Verify.
20. The Employer understands that if it uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose other than as
authorized by this MOU, the Employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its
participation in E-Verify according to this MOU.
C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
The E-Verify Employer Agent shall ensure that the E-Verify Employer Agent and the Employers
represented by the E-erily Employer Agent carry out the following responsibilities if the Employer is a
federal contractor or becomes a Federal contractor. The E-Verify Employer Agent should instruct the
client to keep the E-Verify Employer Agent informed about any changes or updates related to federal
contracts. It is the E-Verify Employer Agent's responsibility to ensure that its clients are in compliance
with all E-Verify policies and procedures.
1. If the Employer is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause subject to the employment
verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR, it will become familiar with and comply with the most
current version of the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors as well as the E-Verify
Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors.
2. In addition to the responsibilities of every employer outlined in this MOU, the Employer understands
that if it is a Federal contractor subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the
FAR it must verify the employment eligibility of any "employee assigned to the contract" (as defined in
FAR 22,1801). Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer, the Employer
may not reverify the employee through E-Verify.
a. An Employer that is not enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor at the time of a contract
award must enroll as a Federal contractor in the E-Verify program within 30 calendar days of
Page 7 of 19 E-Verify MOU for E-Verify Employer Agents I Revision Date 06/01/13
p.•'.,, a pt<'t,�
<. u'A '\ ?ill�lll
Company ID Number: 1601715
contract award and, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to verify employment eligibility of new hires
using E-Verify. The Employer must verify those employees who are working in the United States,
whether or not they are assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires,
such verification of new hires must be initiated within three business days after the hire date. Once
enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor, the Employer must begin verification of employees
assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee's assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
b. Employers enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor for 90 days or more at the time of a
contract award must use E-Verify to begin verification of employment eligibility for new hires of the
Employer who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract, within
three business days after the date of hire. If the Employer is enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal
contractor for 90 calendar days or less at the time of contract award, the Employer must, within 90
days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of new hires of the contractor who
are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Such verification of new
hires must be initiated within three business days after the date of hire. An Employer enrolled as a
Federal contractor in E-Verify must begin verification of each employee assigned to the contract
within 90 calendar days after date of contract award or within 30 days after assignment to the
contract, whichever is later.
c. Federal contractors that are institutions of higher education (as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a)),
state or local governments, governments of Federally recognized Indian tribes, or sureties
performing under a takeover agreement entered into with a Federal agency under a performance
bond may choose to only verify new and existing employees assigned to the Federal contract. Such
Federal contractors may, however, elect to verify all new hires, and/or all existing employees hired
after November 6, 1986. Employers in this category must begin verification of employees assigned
to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee's assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
d. Upon enrollment, Employers who are Federal contractors may elect to verify employment
eligibility of all existing employees working in the United States who were hired after November 6,
1986, instead of verifying only those employees assigned to a covered Federal contract. After
enrollment, Employers must elect to verify existing staff following DHS procedures and begin
E-Verify verification of all existing employees within 180 days after the election.
e. The Employer may use a previously completed Form I-9 as the basis for creating an E-Verify
case for an employee assigned to a contract as long as;
That Form I-9 is complete (including the SSN) and complies with Article II.13.6,
The employee's work authorization has not expired, and
. The Employer has reviewed the Form I-9 information either in person or in
communications with the employee to ensure that the employee's Section 1, Form I-9
attestation has not changed (including, but not limited to, a lawful permanent resident alien
having become a naturalized U.S. citizen).
f. The Employer shall complete a new Form I-9 consistent with Article II.A.6 or update the
previous Form I-9 to provide the necessary information if:
The Employer cannot determine that Form I-9 complies with Article II.A.6,
Page 8 of 19 E-Verify MOU for E-Verify Employer Agents I Revision Date 06/01/13
CAv
Company ID Number: 1601715
ii. The employee's basis for work authorization as attested in Section 1 has expired or
changed, or
iii. The Form 1-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete.
Note: If Section 1 of the Form I-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise
complies with Article II.C.51 but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form I-551) that
expired after completing Form I-9, the Employer shall not require the production of additional
documentation, or use the photo screening tool described in Article II.A.5, subject to any additional
or superseding instructions that may be provided on this subject in the E-Verify User Manual.
g. The Employer agrees not to require a second verification using E-Verify of any assigned
employee who has previously been verified as a newly hired employee under this MOU or to
authorize verification of any existing employee by any Employer that is not a Federal contractor
based on this Article.
3. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, its compliance with this MOU is a
performance requirement under the terms of the Federal contract or subcontract, and the Employer
consents to the release of information relating to compliance with its verification responsibilities under
this MOU to contracting officers or other officials authorized to review the Employer's compliance with
Federal contracting requirements.
D. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA
1. SSA agrees to allow DHS to compare data provided by the Employer (through the E-Verify
Employer Agent) against SSA's database. SSA sends DHS confirmation that the data sent either
matches or does not match the information in SSA's database.
2. SSA agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides (through the E-Verify Employer
Agent) through E-Verify procedures. SSA also agrees to limit access to such information, as is
appropriate by law, to individuals responsible for the verification of Social Security numbers or
responsible for evaluation of E-Verify or such other persons or entities who may be authorized by SSA
as governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a), the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and
SSA regulations (20 CFR Part 401).
3. SSA agrees to provide case results from its database within three Federal Government work days of
the initial inquiry. E-Verify provides the information to the E-Verify Employer Agent.
4. SSA agrees to update SSA records as necessary if the employee who contests the SSA tentative
nonconfirmation visits an SSA field office and provides the required evidence. If the employee visits an
SSA field office within the eight Federal Government work days from the date of referral to SSA, SSA
agrees to update SSA records, if appropriate, within the eight -day period unless SSA determines that
more than eight days may be necessary. In such cases, SSA will provide additional instructions to the
employee. If the employee does not visit SSA in the time allowed, E-Verify may provide a final
nonconfirmation to the E-Verify Employer Agent.
Note: If an Employer experiences technical problems, or has a policy question, the employer should
contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218.

corrected employee information that SSA requests, to SSA for verification again if this review indicates
a need to do so.

days. SSA will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer (through the E-Verify
Employer Agent) within 10 Federal Government work days of the referral unless it determines that

updates.

against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending.
2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee's response about whether he or she will contest the
tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative
nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative
nonconfirmation.
3. The Employer agrees to refer individuals to DHS only when the employee chooses to contest a
tentative nonconfirmation.
4. If the employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer will instruct the
employee to contact DHS through its toll -free hotline (as found on the referral letter) within eight
Federal Government work days.
5. If the Employer finds a photo mismatch, the Employer must provide the photo mismatch tentative
nonconfirmation notice and follow the instructions outlined in paragraph 1 of this section for tentative
nonconfirmations, generally.
6. The Employer agrees that if an employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo

passport card to DHS for review by:
a. Scanning and uploading the document, or
b. Sending a photocopy of the document by express mail (furnished and paid for by the employer).

determine the photo match or mismatch.

MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
A. MODIFICATION
n t rsp
rq-urnn
1. This MOU is effective upon the signature of all parties and shall continue in effect for as long as the
SSA and DHS operates the E-Verify program unless modified in writing by the mutual consent of all
parties.
2. Any and all E-Verify system enhancements by DHS or SSA, including but not limited to E-Verify
checking against additional data sources and instituting new verification policies or procedures, will be
covered under this MOU and will not cause the need for a supplemental MOU that outlines these
changes.
B. TERMINATION
1. The E-Verify Employer Agent may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any time

2. Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate this MOU, and thereby the
E-Verify Employer Agent's participation in E-Verify, with or without notice, at any time if deemed
necessary because of the requirements of law or policy, or upon a determination by SSA or DHS that
there has been a breach of system integrity or security by the E-Verify Employer Agent or the
Employer, or a failure on the part of either party to comply with established E-Verify procedures and/or
legal requirements. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, termination of this MOU
by any party for any reason may negatively affect the performance of its contractual responsibilities.
Similarly, the Employer understands that if it is in a state where E-Verify is mandatory, termination of
this by any party MOU may negatively affect the Employer's business.
3. An E-Verify Employer Agent for an Employer that is a Federal contractor may terminate this MOU
foI that Employer when the Federal contract that requires its participation in E-Verify is terminated or
completed. In such cases, the E-Verify Employer Agent must provide written notice to DHS. If the
:-Verify Employer Agent fails to provide such notice, then that Employer will remain an E-Verify
participant, will remain bound by the terms of this MOU that apply to non -Federal contractor
participants, and will be required to use the E-Verify procedures to verify the employment eligibility of all
newly hired employees.
4. The E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that E-Verify is not liable for any losses, financial or otherwise,
if the E-Verify Employer Agent or the Employer is terminated from E-Verify.

ARTICLE VI

SSA and DHS may adjust verification responsibilities between each other as necessary. By separate
agreement with DHS, SSA has agreed to perform its responsibilities as described in this MOU.
B. Nothing in this MOU is intended, or should be construed, to create any right or benefit, substantive
or procedural, enforceable at law by any third party against the United States, its agencies, officers, or
employees, or against the E-Verify Employer Agent, its agents, officers, or employees.
C. The E-Verify Employer Agent may not assign, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law,
change of control or merger, all or any part of its rights or obligations under this MOU without the prior
written consent of DHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt to
sublicense, assign, or transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations herein is void.
D. Each party shall be solely responsible for defending any claim or action against it arising out of or
related to E-Verify or this MOU, whether civil or criminal, and for any liability wherefrom, including (but
not limited to) any dispute between the Employer and any other person or entity regarding the
applicability of Section 403(d) of IIRIRA to any action taken or allegedly taken by the Employer.

information and may be disclosed as authorized or required by law and DHS or SSA policy, including
but not limited to, Congressional oversight, E-Verify publicity and media inquiries, determinations of
compliance with Federal contractual requirements, and responses to inquiries under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA).

EXHIBIT H: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
1.1 It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete Project (or
portion thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any work, materials
or equipment that may reasonably be inferred from the Contract Documents as being required to
produce the intended result shall be supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words
which have a well-known technical or trade meaning are used to describe work, materials or
equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. Reference to standard
specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization or association or to the laws
or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Project, whether such
reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard specification, manual, code,
law or regulation in effect at the time the Work is performed, except as may be otherwise specifically
stated herein.
1.2 If before or during the performance of the Work Contractor discovers a conflict, error or
discrepancy in the Contract Documents, Contractor immediately shall report same to the Project
Manager in writing and before proceeding with the Work affected thereby shall obtain a written
interpretation or clarification from the Project Manager; said interpretation or clarification from the
Project Manager may require Contractor to consult directly with Design Professional or some other
third party, as directed by Project Manager. Contractor shall take field measurements and verify field
conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and conditions and other
information known to Contractor with the Contract Documents before commencing any portion of the
Work.
1.3 Drawings are intended to show general arrangements, design and extent of Work and are
not intended to serve as shop drawings. Specifications are separated into divisions for convenience
of reference only and shall not be interpreted as establishing divisions for the Work, trades,
subcontracts, or extent of any part of the Work. In the event of a discrepancy between or among the
drawings, specifications or other Contract Document provisions, Contractor shall be required to
comply with the provision which is the more restrictive or stringent requirement upon the Contractor,
as determined by the Project Manager. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned, all anchors, bolts,
screws, fittings, fillers, hardware, accessories, trim and other parts required in connection with any
portion of the Work to make a complete, serviceable, finished and first quality installation shall be
furnished and installed as part of the Work, whether or not called for by the Contract Documents.
2. INVESTIGATION AND UTILITIES.
2.1 Subject to Section 2.3 below, Contractor shall have the sole responsibility of satisfying itself
concerning the nature and location of the Work and the general and local conditions, and particularly,
but without limitation, with respect to the following: those affecting transportation, access, disposal,
handling and storage of materials; availability and quality of labor; water and electric power;
availability and condition of roads; work area; living facilities; climatic conditions and seasons;
physical conditions at the work -site and the project area as a whole; topography and ground surface
conditions; nature and quantity of the surface materials to be encountered; subsurface conditions;
equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during performance of the Work; and all other
costs associated with such performance. The failure of Contractor to acquaint itself with any
applicable conditions shall not relieve Contractor from any of its responsibilities to perform under the
Contract Documents, nor shall it be considered the basis for any claim for additional time or
compensation.
29
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
2.2 Contractor shall locate all existing roadways, railways, drainage facilities and utility services
above, upon, or under the Project site, said roadways, railways, drainage facilities and utilities being
referred to in this Sub -Section 2.2 as the "Utilities". Contractor shall contact the owners of all Utilities
to determine the necessity for relocating or temporarily interrupting any Utilities during the
construction of the Project. Contractor shall schedule and coordinate its Work around any such
relocation or temporary service interruption. Contractor shall be responsible for properly shoring,
supporting and protecting all Utilities at all times during the course of the Work. The Contractor is
responsible for coordinating all other utility work so as to not interfere with the prosecution of the
Work (except those utilities to be coordinated by the Owner as may be expressly described
elsewhere in the Contract Documents).
2.3 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, if conditions are
encountered at the Project site which are (i) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions
which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (ii) unknown physical
conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and
generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the
Contract Documents, and which reasonably should not have been discovered by Contractor as part
of its scope of site investigative services required pursuant to the terms of the Contract Documents,
then Contractor shall provide Owner with prompt written notice thereof before conditions are
disturbed and in no event later than three (3) calendar days after first observance of such conditions.
Owner and Design Professional shall promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ
materially and cause an increase or decrease in Contractor's cost of, or time required for,
performance of any part of the Work, Owner will acknowledge and agree to an equitable adjustment
to Contractor's compensation or time for performance, or both, for such Work. If Owner determines
that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract
Documents or not of an unusual nature or should have been discovered by Contractor as part of its
investigative services, and that no change in the terms of the Agreement is justified, Owner shall so
notify Contractor in writing, stating its reasons. Claims by Contractor in opposition to such
determination by Owner must be made within seven (7) calendar days after Contractor's receipt of
Owner's written determination notice. If Owner and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment to
Contractor's cost or time of performance, the dispute resolution procedure set forth in the Contract
Documents shall be complied with by the parties.
3. SCHEDULE.
3.1 The Contractor, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Award, shall
prepare and submit to Project Manager, for their review and approval, a progress schedule for the
Project (herein "Progress Schedule"). The Progress Schedule shall relate to all Work required by
the Contract Documents, and shall utilize the Critical Path method of scheduling and shall provide
for expeditious and practicable execution of the Work within the Contract Time, The Progress
Schedule shall indicate the dates for starting and completing the various stages of the Work.
3.2 The Progress Schedule shall be updated monthly by the Contractor. All monthly updates to
the Progress Schedule shall be subject to the Project Manager's review and approval. Contractor
shall submit the updates to the Progress Schedule with its monthly Applications for Payment noted
below. The Project Manager's review and approval of the submitted Progress Schedule updates
shall be a condition precedent to the Owner's obligation to pay Contractor.
3.3 All work under this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of all
Collier County Noise Ordinances then in effect. Unless otherwise specified, work will generally be
30
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
limited to the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m,, Monday through Saturday. 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.
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 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 Procurement Services Division
and the Clerk of Court's Finance Department respectively.
4.5 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
31
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7) ,.-.�
stamped and received and after Project Manager approval of an Application for Payment, pay the
Contractor the amounts so approved.
4.6 Owner shall retain ten percent (10%) of the gross amount of each monthly payment request
or ten percent (10%) of the portion thereof approved by the Project Manager for payment, whichever
is less. Such sum shall be accumulated and not released to Contractor until final payment is due
unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner in accordance with Florida Statute 255,078. The Project
Manager shall have the discretion to establish, in writing, a schedule to periodically reduce the
percentage of cumulative retainage held throughout the course of the Project schedule. Owner shall
reduce the amount of the retainage withheld on each payment request subsequent to fifty percent
(50%) completion subject to the guidelines set forth in Florida Statute 255,078 and as set forth in the
Owner's procurement ordinance and policies.
4.7 Monthly payments to Contractor shall in noway imply approval or acceptance of Contractor's
Work.
4.8 Each Application for Payment, subsequent to the first pay application, shall be accompanied
by a Release and Affidavit, in the form attached as Exhibit C, acknowledging Contractor's receipt of
payment in full for all materials, labor, equipment and other bills that are then due and payable by
Owner with respect to the current Application for Payment. Further, to the extent directed by Owner
and in Owner's sole discretion, Contractor shall also submit a Release and Affidavit from each
Subcontractor, sub -subcontractor, or supplier in the form attached as Exhibit C acknowledging that
each Subcontractor, sub -subcontractor or supplier has been paid in full through the previous month's
Application for Payment. The Owner shall not be required to make payment until and unless these
affidavits are furnished by Contractor.
4.9 Contractor agrees and understands that funding limitations exist and that the expenditure of
funds must be spread over the duration of the Project at regular intervals based on the Contract
Amount and Progress Schedule. Accordingly, prior to submitting its first monthly Application for
Payment, Contractor shall prepare and submit for Project Manager's review and approval, a detailed
Project Funding Schedule, which shall be updated as necessary and approved by Owner to reflect
approved adjustments to the Contract Amount and Contract Time. No voluntary acceleration or early
completion of the Work shall modify the time of payments to Contractor as set forth in the approved
Project Funding Schedule.
4.10 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, Contractor
acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a dispute concerning payments for Work performed
under this Agreement, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work required of it under this
Agreement pending resolution of the dispute provided that Owner continues to pay Contractor all
amounts that Owner does not dispute are due and payable.
4.11 Payments will be made for services furnished, delivered, and accepted, upon receipt and
approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six (6) months after completion of
contract. Any untimely submission of invoices beyond the specified deadline period is subject to non-
payment under the legal doctrine of "laches" as untimely submitted. Time shall be deemed of the
essence with respect to the timely submission of invoices under this agreement.
4.12 The County may, at its discretion, use VISA/MASTER card credit network as a payment
vehicle for goods and/or services purchased as a part of this contract. The County may not accept
any additional surcharges (credit card transaction fees) as a result of using the Countys credit card
for transactions relating to this solicitation
32
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
5. PAYMENTS WITHHELD.
5A The Project Manager may decline to approve any Application for Payment, or portions
thereof, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent inspections that reveal non-
compliance with the Contract Documents. The Project Manager may nullify the whole or any part of
any approval for payment previously issued and Owner may withhold any payments otherwise due
Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, to such
extent as may be necessary in the Owner's opinion to protect it from loss because of:
(a) Defective Work not remedied; (b) third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating
probable filing of such claims; (c) failure of Contractor to make payment properly to subcontractors
or for labor, materials or equipment; (d) reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the
unpaid balance of the Contract Amount; (e) reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed
within the Contract Time; (f) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by the Contractor; or (g) any
other material breach of the Contract Documents by Contractor.
5.2 If any conditions described in 5.1. are not remedied or removed, Owner may, after three (3)
days written notice, rectify the same at Contractor's expense. Provided however, in the event of an
emergency, Owner shall not be required to provide Contractor any written notice prior to rectifying
the situation at Contractor's expense. Owner also may offset against any sums due Contractor the
amount of any liquidated or non -liquidated obligations of Contractor to Owner, whether relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement between Contractor and Owner.
5.3 In instances where the successful contractor may owe debts (including, but not limited to
taxes or other fees) to Collier County and the contractor has not satisfied nor made arrangement to
satisfy these debts, the County reserves the right to off -set the amount owed to the County by
applying the amount owed to the vendor or contractor for services performed of for materials
delivered in association with a contract.
6. FINAL PAYMENT.
6.1 Owner shall make final payment to Contractor in accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and
the administrative procedures established by the County's Procurement Services Division 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.
33
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
7. SUBMITTALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS.
7A Contractor shall carefully examine the Contract Documents for all requirements for approval
of materials to be submitted such as shop drawings, data, test results, schedules and samples.
Contractor shall submit all such materials at its own expense and in such form as required by the
Contract Documents in sufficient time to prevent any delay in the delivery of such materials and the
installation thereof.
7.2 Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Documents by
using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular supplier, the naming of the item is
intended to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is followed by words
indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other suppliers may be
accepted by Owner if sufficient information is submitted by Contractor to allow the Owner to
determine that the material or equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named. Requests
for review of substitute items of material and equipment will not be accepted by Owner from anyone
other than Contractor and all such requests must be submitted by Contractor to Project Manager
within thirty (30) calendar days after Notice of Award is received by Contractor, unless otherwise
mutually agreed in writing by Owner and Contractor.
7.3 If Contractor wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, Contractor
shall make application to the Project Manager for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed
substitute shall adequately perform the functions and achieve the results called for by the general
design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use as that
specified. The application shall state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute
will not prejudice Contractor's achievement of substantial completion on time, whether or not
acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract
Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner for the Project) to adapt the
design to the proposed substitute and whether or not incorporation or use by the substitute in
connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the
proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the application and available maintenance,
repair and replacement service shall be indicated. The application also shall contain an itemized
estimate of all costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including
costs for redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which shall
be considered by the Project Manager in evaluating the proposed substitute. The Project Manager
may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense additional data about the proposed
substitute.
7.4 If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated
in or required by the Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish or utilize a 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
34
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
record time required by the Project Manager and the Project Manager's consultants in evaluating
substitutions proposed by Contractor and making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned
thereby. Whether or not the Owner accepts a proposed substitute, Contractor shall reimburse Owner
for the charges of the Design Professional and the Design Professional's consultants for evaluating
each proposed substitute.
8. DAILY REPORTS, SIGNED AND SEALED AS-BUILTS AND MEETINGS.
8.1 Unless waived in writing by Owner, Contractor shall complete and submit to Project Manager
on a weekly basis a daily log of the Contractor's work for the preceding week in a format approved
by the Project Manager. The daily log shall document all activities of Contractor at the Project site
including, but not limited to, the following:
8.1.1 Weather conditions showing the high and low temperatures during work hours,
the amount of precipitation received on the Project site, and any other weather conditions which
adversely affect the Work;
8.1.2 Soil conditions which adversely affect the Work;
8.1.3 The hours of operation by Contractor's and Sub -Contractor's personnel;
8.1.4 The number of Contractor's and Sub -Contractor's personnel present and working

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
35
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
(e.g. interior or exterior wall faces). The annotated drawings shall be clean and all changes,
corrections and dimensions shall be given in a neat and legible manner in a contrasting color. The
"As -Built" record documents, together with all approved samples and a counterpart of all approved
shop drawings shall be available to the Project Manager or Design Professional for reference. Upon
completion of the Work and as a condition precedent to Contractor's entitlement to final payment,
these "As -Built" record documents, samples and shop drawings shall be delivered to Project
Manager by Contractor for Owner.
8.3 Contractor shall keep all records and supporting documentation, which concern or relate to
the Work hereunder for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of termination of this Agreement
or the date the Project is completed or such longer period as may be required by law, whichever is
later, pursuant to Florida Public Records Law Chapter 119 and comply with specifically those
contractual requirements in 119.0701(2)(a)-(b) as follows:

CHAPTER 119, FLORIDA STATUTES, TO THE CONTRACTOR'S DUTY TO PROVIDE
PUBLIC RECORDS RELATING TO THIS CONTRACT, CONTACT THE CUSTODIAN OF
PUBLIC RECORDS AT:

records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as authorized by law for the
duration of the contract term and following completion of the contract if the Contractor
does not transfer the records to the public agency.
4. Upon completion of the contract, transfer, at no cost, to the public agency all public
records in possession of the Contractor or keep and maintain public records required by
the public agency to perform the service. If the Contractor transfers all public records to

9. CONTRACT TIME AND TIME EXTENSIONS.
36
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
9.1 Contractor shall diligently pursue the completion of the Work and coordinate the Work being
done on the Project by its subcontractors and material -men, as well as coordinating its Work with all
work of others at the Project Site, so that its Work or the work of others shall not be delayed or
impaired by any act or omission by Contractor. Contractor shall be solely responsible for all
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures, as well as coordination of
all portions of the Work under the Contract Documents, and the coordination of Owner's suppliers
and contractors as set forth in Paragraph 12.2. herein.
9.2 Should Contractor be obstructed or delayed in the prosecution of or completion of the Work
as a result of unforeseeable causes beyond the control of Contractor, and not due to its fault or
neglect, including but not restricted to acts of Nature or of the public enemy, acts of government,
fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine regulation, strikes or lockouts, Contractor shall notify the Owner
in writing within forty-eight (48) hours after the commencement of such delay, stating the cause or
causes thereof, or be deemed to have waived any right which Contractor may have had to request
a time extension.
9.3 No interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the commencement or
progress of the Work from any cause whatever, including those for which Owner may be responsible,
in whole or in part, shall relieve Contractor of its duty to perform or give rise to any right to damages
or additional compensation from Owner. Contractor expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall
receive no damages for delay. Contractor's sole remedy, if any, against Owner will be the right to
seek an extension to the Contract Time; provided, however, the granting of any such time extension
shall not be a condition precedent to the aforementioned "No Damage For Delay" provision. This
paragraph shall expressly apply to claims for early completion, as well as to claims based on late
completion.
9.4 In no event shall any approval by Owner authorizing Contractor to continue performing Work
under this Agreement or any payment issued by Owner to Contractor be deemed a waiver of any
right or claim Owner may have against Contractor for delay damages hereunder.
10. CHANGES IN THE WORK.
10.1 Owner shall have the right at any time during the progress of the Work to increase or
decrease the Work. Promptly after being notified of a change, Contractor shall submit an itemized
estimate of any cost or time increases or savings it foresees as a result of the change. Except in an
emergency endangering life or property, or as expressly set forth herein, no addition or changes to
the Work shall be made except upon written order of Owner, and Owner shall not be liable to the
Contractor for any increased compensation without such written order. No officer, employee or agent
of Owner is authorized to direct any extra or changed work orally. Any alleged changes must be
approved by Owner in writing prior to starting such items. Owner will not be responsible for the costs
of any changes commenced without Owner's express prior written approval. Failure to obtain such
prior written approval for any changes will be deemed: (i) a waiver of any claim by Contractor for
such items and (ii) an admission by Contractor that such items are in fact not a change but rather
are part of the Work required of Contractor hereunder.
10.2 A Change Order, in the form attached as Exhibit E to this Agreement, shall be issued and
executed promptly after an agreement is reached between Contractor and Owner concerning the
requested changes. Contractor shall promptly perform changes authorized by duly executed Change
Orders, The Contract Amount and Contract Time shall be adjusted in the Change Order in the
manner as Owner and Contractor shall mutually agree.
37
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
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. In that event, the Contract Amount and Contract Time shall be adjusted as directed by
Owner. If Contractor disagrees with the Owner's adjustment determination, Contractor must make
a claim pursuant to Section 11 of these General Conditions or else be deemed to have waived any
claim on this matter it might otherwise have had.
10.4 In the event a requested change results in an increase to the Contract Amount, the amount
of the increase shall be limited to the Contractor's reasonable direct labor and material costs and
reasonable actual equipment costs as a result of the change (including allowance for labor burden
costs) plus a maximum ten percent (10%) markup for all overhead and profit. In the event such
change Work is performed by a Subcontractor, a maximum ten percent (10%) markup for all
overhead and profit for all Subcontractors' and sub -subcontractors' direct labor and material costs
and actual equipment costs shall be permitted, with a maximum five percent (5%) markup thereon
by the Contractor for all of its overhead and profit, for a total maximum markup of fifteen percent
(15%). All compensation due Contractor and any Subcontractor or sub -subcontractor for field and
home office overhead is included in the markups noted above. No markup shall be placed on sales
tax, shipping or subcontractor markup.
10.5 Owner shall have the right to conduct an audit of Contractor's books and records to verify the
accuracy of the Contractor's claim with respect to Contractor's costs associated with any Change
Order or Work Directive Change.
10.6 The Project Manager shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving
an adjustment to the Contract Amount or an extension to the Contract Time and not inconsistent with
the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes may be effected by Field Order or by other
written order. Such changes shall be binding on the Contractor.
10.7 Any modifications to this Contract shall be in compliance with the County procurement
ordinance and policies and Administrative Procedures in effect at the time such modifications are
authorized.
11. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES.
11.1 Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking an adjustment or interpretation
of the terms of the Contract Documents, payment of money, extension of time or other relief with
respect to the terms of the Contract Documents. The term "Claim" also includes other disputes and
matters in question between Owner and Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract
Documents. The responsibility to substantiate a Claim shall rest with the party making the Claim.
11.2 Claims by the Contractor shall be made in writing to the Project Manager within forty-eight
(48) hours from when the Contractor knew or should have known of the event giving rise to such
Claim or else the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the Claim. Written supporting data
shall be submitted to the Project Manager within fifteen (15) calendar days after the occurrence of
the event, unless the Owner grants additional time in writing, or else the Contractor shall be deemed
to have waived the Claim. All Claims shall be priced in accordance with the provisions of Subsection
10.4.
11.3 The Contractor shall proceed diligently with its performance as directed by the Owner,
regardless of any pending Claim, action, suit or administrative proceeding, unless otherwise agreed
38
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
to by the Owner in writing. Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Contract
Documents during the pendency of any Claim.
12. OTHER WORK.
12.1 Owner may perform other work related to the Project at the site by Owner's own forces, have
other work performed by utility owners or let other direct contracts. If the fact that such other work
is to be performed is not noted in the Contract Documents, written notice thereof will be given to
Contractor prior to starting any such other work. If Contractor believes that such performance will
involve additional expense to Contractor or require additional time, Contractor shall send written
notice of that fact to Owner and Design Professional within forty-eight (48) hours of being notified of
the other work. If the Contractor fails to send the above required forty-eight (48) hour notice, the
Contractor will be deemed to have waived any rights it otherwise may have had to seek an extension
to the Contract Time or adjustment to the Contract Amount.
12.2 Contractor shall afford each utility owner and other contractor who is a party to such a direct
contract (or Owner, if Owner is performing the additional work with Owner's employees) proper and
safe access to the site and a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials
and equipment and the execution of such work and shall properly connect and coordinate its Work
with theirs. Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work that may be required to
make its several parts come together properly and integrate with such other work. Contractor shall
not endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and will only
cut or alter their work with the written consent of the Project Manager and the others whose work will
be affected. The duties and responsibilities of Contractor under this paragraph are for the benefit of
such utility owners and other Contractors to the extent that there are comparable provisions for the
benefit of Contractor in said direct contracts between Owner and such utility owners and other
contractors.
12.3 If any part of Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of any
other contractor or utility owner (or Owner), Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to Project
Manager in writing any delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or
unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Contractor's failure to report will constitute an
acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration with Contractor's Work.
13. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.
13.1 To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, the Contractor shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Collier County, its officers and employees from any and all liabilities, damages, losses
and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegals' fees, to the extent
caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the Contractor or
anyone employed or utilized by the Contractor in the performance of this Agreement.
13.2 The duty to defend under this Article 13 is independent and separate from the duty to
indemnify, and the duty to defend exists regardless of any ultimate liability of the Contractor, Owner
and any indemnified party. The duty to defend arises immediately upon presentation of a claim by
any party and written notice of such claim being provided to Contractor. Contractor's obligation to
indemnify and defend under this Article 13 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement until it is determined by final judgment that an action against the Owner or an indemnified
party for the matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of
limitations.
39
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
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 13-3 to the Agreement.
Further, the Contractor shall at all times comply with all of the terms, conditions, requirements and
obligations set forth under Exhibit 13-3.
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.
14.3 Statutes and executive orders require employers to abide by the immigration laws of the United
States and to employ only individuals who are eligible to work in the United States.
The Employment Eligibility Verification System (E-Verify) operated by the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA), provides an Internet -
based means of verifying employment eligibility of workers in the United States; it is not a substitute
for any other employment eligibility verification requirements. The program will be used for Collier
County formal Invitations to Bid (ITB) and Request for Proposals (RFP) including professional
services and construction services.
Exceptions to the program:
• Commodity based procurement where no services are provided.
• Where the requirement for the affidavit is waived by the Board of County Commissioners
Contractors /Bidders are required to enroll in the E-Verify program, and provide acceptable evidence
of their enrollment, at the time of the submission of the Contractor's/bidder's proposal. Acceptable
evidence consists of a copy of the properly completed E-Verify Company Profile page or a copy of
the fully executed E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding for the company. Contractors are also
required to provide the Collier County Procurement Services Division an executed affidavit certifying
they shall comply with the E-Verify Program. The affidavit is attached to the solicitation documents.
If the Bidder/Contractor does not comply with providing both the acceptable E-Verify
evidence and the executed affidavit the bidder's / Contractor's proposal may be deemed non-
responsive.
40
Construction Services Agreement: Revised 092520 (v7)
Additionally, Contractors shall require all subcontracted Contractors to use the E-Verify system for
