THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, ("Owner")
hereby contracts with Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. ("Contractor") of 3494 Shearwater Street,
Naples, Florida 34117, a Foreign Profit Corporation, authorized to do business in the State
of Florida, to perform all work ("Work") in connection with "Big Corkscrew Island Regional
Park Phase 2A Access Road", Invitation to Bid No. 23-8147 ("Project"), as said Work is set
forth in the Plans and Specifications prepared by Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A., 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: Nine Million Twenty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Ten Dollars and Fifty-Five
Cents ($9,028,810.55).
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 https://fiscal.treasurv.aov/surety-bonds/list-certified-companies.html. Should the
1
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
Contract Amount be less than $500,000, the requirements of Section 287.0935, F.S. shall govern
the rating and classification of the surety.
B. If the surety for any bond furnished by Contractor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent,
its right to do business is terminated in the State of Florida, or it ceases to meet the requirements
imposed by the Contract Documents,the Contractor shall,within five(5)calendar days thereafter,
substitute at its cost and expense another bond and surety, both of which shall be subject to the
Owner's approval.
Section 5. Contract Time and Liquidated Damages.
A. Time of Performance.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work under this Agreement. The
"Commencement Date" shall be established in the written Notice to Proceed to be issued by the
Project Manager, as hereinafter defined. Contractor shall commence the Work within five (5)
calendar days from the Commencement Date. No Work shall be performed at the Project site
prior to the Commencement Date. Any Work performed by Contractor prior to the
Commencement Date shall be at the sole risk of Contractor. Contractor shall achieve Substantial
Completion within two hundred and ten (210) calendar days from the Commencement Date
(herein "Contract Time"). The date of Substantial Completion of the Work(or designated portions
thereof) is the date certified by the Design Professional when construction is sufficiently complete,
in accordance with the Contract Documents, so Owner can occupy or utilize the Work (or
designated portions thereof) for the use for which it is intended. Contractor shall achieve Final
Completion within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of Substantial Completion. Final
Completion shall occur when the Agreement is completed in its entirety, is accepted by the Owner
as complete and is so stated by the Owner as completed. As used herein and throughout the
Contract Documents, the phrase "Project Manager" refers to the Owner's duly authorized
representative and shall mean the Department Administrator or Division Director, as applicable,
acting directly or through duly authorized representatives.
B. Liquidated Damages in General.
Owner and Contractor recognize that, since time is of the essence for this Agreement, Owner will
suffer financial loss if Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion within the time specified
above, as said time may be adjusted as provided for herein. In such event, the total amount of
Owner's damages, will be difficult, if not impossible, to definitely ascertain and quantify. Should
Contractor fail to achieve Substantial Completion within the number of calendar days established
herein, Owner shall be entitled to assess, as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty, Three
Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty-Four Dollars ($3,434.00)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
2
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
CAO
or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day
shall be omitted from the computation, and the last day shall become the next succeeding day
which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
D. Determination of Number of Days of Default.
For all contracts, regardless of whether the Contract Time is stipulated in calendar days or working
days, the Owner will count default days in calendar days.
E. Right of Collection.
The Owner has the right to apply any amounts due Contractor under this Agreement or any other
agreement between Owner and Contractor, as payment on such liquidated damages due under
this Agreement in Owner's sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Owner retains its right to liquidated damages due under this Agreement even if Contractor, at
Owner's election and in its sole discretion, is allowed to continue and to finish the Work, or any
part of it, after the expiration of the Contract Time including granted time extensions.
F. Completion of Work by Owner.
In the event Contractor defaults on any of its obligations under the Agreement and Owner elects
to complete the Work, in whole or in part, through another contractor or its own forces, the
Contractor and its surety shall continue to be liable for the liquidated damages under the
Agreement until Owner achieves Substantial and Final Completion of the Work. Owner will not
charge liquidated damages for any delay in achieving Substantial or Final Completion as a result
of any unreasonable action or delay on the part of the Owner.
G. Final Acceptance by Owner.
The Owner shall consider the Agreement complete when the Contractor has completed in its
entirety all of the Work and the Owner has accepted all of the Work and notified the Contractor in
writing that the Work is complete. Once the Owner has approved and accepted the Work,
Contractor shall be entitled to final payment in accordance with the terms of the Contract
Documents.
H. Recovery of Damages Suffered by Third Parties.
Contractor shall be liable to Owner to the extent Owner incurs damages from a third party as a
result of Contractor's failure to fulfill all of its obligations under the Contract Documents. Owner's
recovery of any delay related damages under this Agreement through the liquidated damages
does not preclude Owner from recovering from Contractor any other non-delay related damages
that may be owed to it arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

systems engineering and technical direction for the procurement)which appears to skew the competition in

project identified above to evaluate proposals/past performance of itself or a competitor, which calls into
question the contractor's ability to render impartial advice to the government.

affiliate)with an unfair competitive advantage in current or hiture solicitations and contracts.

Certificates issued as a result of the award of this solicitation must identify "For any and all work performed on
behalf of Collier County", or, the specific solicitation number/contract number and title.
The General Liability Policy provided by Contractor to meet the requirements of this solicitation shall name
Collier County, Florida, as an additional insured as to the operations of Contractor under this solicitation and
shall contain a severability of interests provisions.
The Certificate Holder shall be named as Collier County Board of County Commissioners, OR, Board of County
Commissioners in Collier County, OR Collier County Government, OR Collier County. The Certificates of
Insurance must state the Contract Number, or Project Number, or specific Project description, or must read:
For any and all work performed on behalf of Collier County.
The amounts and types of insurance coverage shall conform to the minimum requirements set forth in EXHIBIT

Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between the County and Contractor. The County
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 decision of the County to purchase such

work, the Contractor shall furnish to the County renewal or replacement Certificate(s) of Insurance not later
than ten (10) calendar days after the expiration date on the certificate. Failure of the Contractor to provide the

EXHIBIT H: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
1.1 It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete Project (or
portion thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any work, materials
or equipment that may reasonably be inferred from the Contract Documents as being required to
produce the intended result shall be supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words
which have a well-known technical or trade meaning are used to describe work, materials or
equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. Reference to standard
specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization or association or to the laws
or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Project, whether such
reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard specification, manual, code,
law or regulation in effect at the time the Work is performed, except as may be otherwise specifically
stated herein.
1.2 If before or during the performance of the Work Contractor discovers a conflict, error or
discrepancy in the Contract Documents, Contractor immediately shall report same to the Project
Manager in writing and before proceeding with the Work affected thereby shall obtain a written
interpretation or clarification from the Project Manager; said interpretation or clarification from the
Project Manager may require Contractor to consult directly with Design Professional or some other
third party, as directed by Project Manager. Contractor shall take field measurements and verify field
conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and conditions and other
information known to Contractor with the Contract Documents before commencing any portion of the
Work.
1.3 Drawings are intended to show general arrangements, design and extent of Work and are
not intended to serve as shop drawings. Specifications are separated into divisions for convenience
of reference only and shall not be interpreted as establishing divisions for the Work, trades,
subcontracts, or extent of any part of the Work. In the event of a discrepancy between or among the
drawings, specifications or other Contract Document provisions, Contractor shall be required to
comply with the provision which is the more restrictive or stringent requirement upon the Contractor,
as determined by the Project Manager. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned, all anchors, bolts,
screws, fittings, fillers, hardware, accessories, trim and other parts required in connection with any
portion of the Work to make a complete, serviceable, finished and first quality installation shall be
furnished and installed as part of the Work, whether or not called for by the Contract Documents.
2. INVESTIGATION AND UTILITIES.
2.1 Subject to Section 2.3 below, Contractor shall have the sole responsibility of satisfying itself
concerning the nature and location of the Work and the general and local conditions, and particularly,
but without limitation, with respect to the following: those affecting transportation, access, disposal,
handling and storage of materials; 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.
28
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
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
29
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
CAO
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
30
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver 1]
CAO
stamped and received and after Project Manager approval of an Application for Payment, pay the
Contractor the amounts so approved.
4.6 Owner shall withhold retainage on the gross amount of each monthly progress payment in
the amount of five percent (5%), as permitted by Section 255.078, Florida Statutes. The foregoing
does not prohibit Owner from withholding retainage at a rate less than five percent (5%) of each
monthly progress payment as otherwise allowable under Section 255.078, Florida Statutes. Any
reduction in retainage below the maximum amount set forth in Section 255.078, Florida Statutes,
shall be at the sole discretion of the Owner. Such retainage 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. Any interest earned on retainage shall accrue to the benefit of the Owner.
4.7 Monthly payments to Contractor shall in no way imply approval or acceptance of Contractor's
Work.
4.8 Each Application for Payment, subsequent to the first pay application, shall be accompanied
by a Release and Affidavit, in the form attached as Exhibit C, acknowledging Contractor's receipt of
payment in full for all materials, labor, equipment and other bills that are then due and payable by
Owner with respect to the current Application for Payment. Further, to the extent directed by Owner
and in Owner's sole discretion, Contractor shall also submit a Release and Affidavit from each
Subcontractor, sub-subcontractor, or supplier in the form attached as Exhibit C acknowledging that
each Subcontractor, sub-subcontractor or supplier has been paid in full through the previous month's
Application for Payment. The Owner shall not be required to make payment until and unless these
affidavits are furnished by Contractor.
4.9 Contractor agrees and understands that funding limitations exist and that the expenditure of
funds must be spread over the duration of the Project at regular intervals based on the Contract
Amount and Progress Schedule. Accordingly, prior to submitting its first monthly Application for
Payment, Contractor shall prepare and submit for Project Manager's review and approval, a detailed
Project Funding Schedule, which shall be updated as necessary and approved by Owner to reflect
approved adjustments to the Contract Amount and Contract Time. No voluntary acceleration or early
completion of the Work shall modify the time of payments to Contractor as set forth in the approved
Project Funding Schedule.
4.10 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, Contractor
acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a dispute concerning payments for Work performed
under this Agreement, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work required of it under this
Agreement pending resolution of the dispute provided that Owner continues to pay Contractor all
amounts that Owner does not dispute are due and payable.
4.11 Payments will be made for services furnished, delivered, and accepted, upon receipt and
approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six (6) months after completion of
contract. Any untimely submission of invoices beyond the specified deadline period is subject to non-
payment under the legal doctrine of "laches" as untimely submitted. Time shall be deemed of the
essence with respect to the timely submission of invoices under this agreement.
4.12 The County may, at its discretion, use VISA/MASTER card credit network as a payment
vehicle for goods and/or services purchased as a part of this contract. The County may not accept
any additional surcharges (credit card transaction fees) as a result of using the County's credit card
for transactions relating to this solicitation
31
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
CAO
5. PAYMENTS WITHHELD.
5.1 The Project Manager may decline to approve any Application for Payment, or portions
thereof, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent inspections that reveal non-
compliance with the Contract Documents. The Project Manager may nullify the whole or any part of
any approval for payment previously issued and Owner may withhold any payments otherwise due
Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, to such
extent as may be necessary in the Owner's opinion to protect it from loss because of:
(a) Defective Work not remedied; (b) third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating
probable filing of such claims; (c) failure of Contractor to make payment properly to subcontractors
or for labor, materials or equipment; (d) reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the
unpaid balance of the Contract Amount; (e) reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed
within the Contract Time; (f) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by the Contractor; or (g) any
other material breach of the Contract Documents by Contractor.
5.2 If any conditions described in 5.1. are not remedied or removed, Owner may, after three (3)
days written notice, rectify the same at Contractor's expense. Provided however, in the event of an
emergency, Owner shall not be required to provide Contractor any written notice prior to rectifying
the situation at Contractor's expense. Owner also may offset against any 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.
5.4 If a subcontractor is a related entity to the Contractor, then the Contractor shall not mark-up
the subcontractor's fees. A related entity shall be defined as any Parent or Subsidiary of the
Company and any business, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in
which the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company holds any ownership interest,
directly or indirectly.
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
32
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
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
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.
33
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
i_ A; a
7.5 The Project Manager shall be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each
proposed substitute and, if need be, to consult with the Design Professional. No substitute will be
ordered, installed or utilized without the Project Manager's prior written acceptance which shall be
evidenced by a Change Order, a Work Directive Change, a Field Order or an approved Shop
Drawing. The Owner may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a special
performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. The Project Manager will
record time required by the Project Manager and the Project Manager's consultants in evaluating
substitutions proposed by Contractor and making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned
thereby. Whether or not the Owner accepts a proposed substitute, Contractor shall reimburse Owner
for the charges of the Design Professional and the Design Professional's consultants for evaluating
each proposed substitute.
8. DAILY REPORTS, SIGNED AND SEALED AS-BUILTS AND MEETINGS.
8.1 Unless waived in writing by Owner, Contractor shall complete and submit to Project Manager
on a weekly basis a daily log of the Contractor's work for the preceding week in a format approved

34
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
CAO
made during construction. The annotated drawings shall be continuously updated by the Contractor
throughout the prosecution of the Work to accurately reflect all field changes that are made to adapt
the Work to field conditions, changes resulting from Change Orders, Work Directive Changes and
Field Orders, and all concealed and buried installations of piping, conduit and utility services. All
buried and concealed items, both inside and outside the Project site, shall be accurately located on
the annotated drawings as to depth and in relationship to not less than two (2) permanent features
(e.g. interior or exterior wall faces). The annotated drawings shall be clean and all changes,
corrections and dimensions shall be given in a neat and legible manner in a contrasting color. The
"As-Built" record documents, together with all approved samples and a counterpart of all approved
shop drawings shall be available to the Project Manager or Design Professional for reference. Upon
completion of the Work and as a condition precedent to Contractor's entitlement to final payment,
these "As-Built" record documents, samples and shop drawings shall be delivered to Project
Manager by Contractor for Owner.
8.3 Contractor shall keep all records and supporting documentation, which concern or relate to
the Work hereunder for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of termination of this Agreement
or the date the Project is completed or such longer period as may be required by law, whichever is
later, pursuant to Florida Public Records Law Chapter 119 and comply with specifically those
contractual requirements in 119.0701(2)(a)-(b) as follows:
IF THE CONTRACTOR HAS QUESTIONS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF
CHAPTER 119, FLORIDA STATUTES, TO THE CONTRACTOR'S DUTY TO PROVIDE
PUBLIC RECORDS RELATING TO THIS CONTRACT, CONTACT THE CUSTODIAN OF
PUBLIC RECORDS AT:
Division of Communications, Government and Public Affairs

Naples, FL 34112-5746
Telephone: (239) 252-8999
Email: PublicRecordRequest .colliercountyfl.gov
The Contractor must specifically comply with the Florida Public Records Law to:
1. Keep and maintain public records required by the public agency to perform the service.
2. Upon request from the public agency's custodian of public records, provide the public
agency with a copy of the requested records or allow the records to be inspected or
copied within a reasonable time at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided in this
chapter or as otherwise provided by law.
3. Ensure that public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public
records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as authorized by law for the
duration of the contract term and following completion of the contract if the Contractor
does not transfer the records to the public agency.
4. Upon completion of the contract, transfer, at no cost, to the public agency all public
records in possession of the Contractor or keep and maintain public records required by
the public agency to perform the service. If the Contractor transfers all public records to
the public agency upon completion of the contract, the Contractor shall destroy any
duplicate public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public records
disclosure requirements. If the Contractor keeps and maintains public records upon
completion of the contract, the Contractor shall meet all applicable requirements for
retaining public records. All records stored electronically must be provided to the public
35
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
agency, upon request from the public agency's custodian of public records, in a format
that is compatible with the information technology systems of the public agency.
9. CONTRACT TIME AND TIME EXTENSIONS.
9.1 Contractor shall diligently pursue the completion of the Work and coordinate the Work being
done on the Project by its subcontractors and material-men, as well as coordinating its Work with all
work of others at the Project Site, so that its Work or the work of others shall not be delayed or
impaired by any act or omission by Contractor. Contractor shall be solely responsible for all
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures, as well as coordination of
all portions of the Work under the Contract Documents, and the coordination of Owner's suppliers
and contractors as set forth in Paragraph 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.
36
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
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. 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, or any duly authorized agents or representatives of the County, 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 Payment Application, 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
37
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
the event, unless the Owner grants additional time in writing, or else the Contractor shall be deemed
to have waived the Claim. All Claims shall be priced in accordance with the provisions of Subsection
10.4.
11.3 The Contractor shall proceed diligently with its performance as directed by the Owner,
regardless of any pending Claim, action, suit or administrative proceeding, unless otherwise agreed
to by the Owner in writing. Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Contract
Documents during the pendency of any Claim.
12. OTHER WORK.
12.1 Owner may perform other work related to the Project at the site by Owner's own forces, have
other work performed by utility owners or let other direct contracts. If the fact that such other work
is to be performed is not noted in the Contract Documents, written notice thereof will be given to
Contractor prior to starting any such other work. If Contractor believes that such performance will
involve additional expense to Contractor or require additional time, Contractor shall send written
notice of that fact to Owner and Design Professional within forty-eight (48) hours of being notified of
the other work. If the Contractor fails to send the above required forty-eight (48) hour notice, the
Contractor will be deemed to have waived any rights it otherwise may have had to seek an extension
to the Contract Time or adjustment to the Contract Amount.
12.2 Contractor shall afford each utility owner and other contractor who is a party to such a direct
contract (or Owner, if Owner is performing the additional work with Owner's employees) proper and
safe access to the site and a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials
and equipment and the execution of such work and shall properly connect and coordinate its Work
with theirs. Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work that may be required to
make its several parts come together properly and integrate with such other work. Contractor shall
not endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and will only
cut or alter their work with the written consent of the Project Manager and the others whose work will
be affected. The duties and responsibilities of Contractor under this paragraph are for the benefit of
such utility owners and other Contractors to the extent that there are comparable provisions for the
benefit of Contractor in said direct contracts between Owner and such utility owners and other
contractors.
12.3 If any part of Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of any
other contractor or utility owner (or Owner), Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to Project
Manager in writing any delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or
unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Contractor's failure to report will constitute an
acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration with Contractor's Work.
13. 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
38
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
any party and written notice of such claim being provided to Contractor. Contractor's obligation to
indemnify and defend under this Article 13 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement until it is determined by final judgment that an action against the Owner or an indemnified
party for the matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of
limitations.
13.3 Contractor shall obtain and carry, at all times during its performance under the Contract
Documents, insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth in the Insurance and Bonding
Requirements form Exhibit B-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 B-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, including the
requirements set forth in Florida Statute, §448.095.
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.
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.
39
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
CAO
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.
Additionally, Contractors shall require all subcontracted Contractors to use the E-Verify system for
all purchases not covered under the "Exceptions to the program" clause above.
For additional information regarding the Employment Eligibility Verification System (E-Verify)
program visit the following website: http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify. It shall be the Contractor's
responsibility to familiarize themselves with all rules and regulations governing this program.
Contractor acknowledges, and without exception or stipulation, any firm(s) receiving an award shall
be 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
and with the provisions contained within this affidavit. Failure by the awarded firm(s)to comply with
the laws referenced herein or the provisions of this affidavit shall constitute a breach of the award
agreement and the County shall have the discretion to unilaterally terminate said 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.
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. Owner will not be obligated to pay for any permits obtained by
Subcontractors.
40
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
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 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
41
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
or re-letting 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 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
42
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
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. The Project Manager, shall
coordinate with the Contractor the return of any surplus assets, including materials, supplies, and
equipment.
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 approve 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 material men 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

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
43
Construction Services Agreement:[2023_ver.1]
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 Representative shall be present at the
time of inspection and shall take remedial actions 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
