Agenda 11/12/2024 Item #16B10 (Change Order # 2 and Change Order #3 for the Carson Road StormWater Treatment area)11/12/2024 Item # 16.B.10 ID# 2024-1637 Executive Summary Recommendation to approve Change Order No. 2 and Change Order No. 3 for the “Carson Road Stormwater Treatment Area” under Agreement No. 23-8114, with Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., to utilize $17,783.14 of the Owner’s Allowance for Change Order No. 2, to utilize $16,782.47 of the Owner’s Allowance for Change Order No. 3, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Change Orders. (Project Number 60143) OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval of Change Order No. 2 and Change Order No. 3 for the “Carson Road Stormwater Treatment Area” Project under Agreement No. 23-8114 with Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. for the total amount of $34,565.61. CONSIDERATIONS: On August 8, 2023 (Agenda Item 11.A), the Board approved Agreement No. 23-8114 (the "Agreement") for $5,865,783.20, with Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. The Agreement concerns the construction of five lakes within the Carson Road area to provide stormwater quality treatment and storage prior to discharge into the Immokalee Slough toward Lake Trafford. The Carson Road Stormwater Treatment Area is intended to accept flow from the existing stormwater system within the Carson Road, Immokalee Drive and Lake Trafford Road Right-of-Way. Change Order No. 2 addresses Work Directives 2 through 4 to resolve a conflict with an abandoned reinforced concrete pipe, which only became known at the time of excavation, a material substitution that saved two days of open trench work allowing the road to be fully opened, and addresses SFWMD permitting comments concerning the increased pipe size to accommodate larger peak stormwater run-off flow (from Change Order 1). Change Order No. 3 addresses Work Directives 5 through 7 to adjust the plant palette to take advantage of what is seasonally available, increase rip rap and sod for ease of access and safety aspects at the two site monitoring locations, and provide for additional grading, stabilization and planting following the exotic vegetation removal from the site. If those modifications are not processed, the contractor will not be able to proceed with the construction in accordance with the updated construction documents and the project will not be in compliance with the permit issued by South Florida Water Management District. This item is consistent with the Infrastructure and Asset Management element of Collier County’s Strategic Plan by preparing our critical infrastructure and natural resources for the impacts of natural disasters. FISCAL IMPACT: The source of funding is contained within the project allowance under Purchase Order 4500225866, Project (60143). Utilization of $34,565.61 from the $480,201.70 balance of Owner’s Allowance does not increase the overall cost of the project. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project is in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Stormwater Element of the Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board approval. —SRT RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve Change Order No. 2 and Change Order No. 3 for the “Carson Road Stormwater Treatment Area” project under Agreement No. 23-8114 with Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., to utilize $34,565.61 of the Owner’s Allowance, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Change Orders.

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.

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.gov/c570/c570.html#certified. Should the Contract Amount be less CAC Construction Services Agreement:[2022_ver.3] Page 1753 of 5419 11A 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 three hundred sixty-five(365) 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, Two Thousand Four Hundred Sixty-five Dollars ($2,465) 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 darrages 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:[2022_ver.3] p,0 Page 1754 of 5419 h I. A 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.

Will someone be hired to maintain the littoral shelf planting area for the i. year after installation? The line items in the bid memo have been revised to add a separate category for littoral shelf exotic vegetation control(spraying)during the first year after the completion of construction(see line item 87 of the bid memo for a description of the activity and line 87 of the bid tab for the associated cost). The scope of the bid should assume the contractor will be responsible for four site visits (one site visit every three months) for exotic vegetation control within the littoral shelves. The success criteria for the littoral shelf planting areas will require five percent of less coverage of exotic vegetation within the littoral shelf areas. 2. How are we to come up with a warranty cost that is required to be part of the littoral shelf planting areas if we don't know how they are going to be maintained? The line items in the bid memo have been revised to remove references to a one year warranty for littoral planting areas. Line 88 has been added to the bid memo and the bid tabs to include a cost of replacement of littoral plants at one year from the completion of construction. The line item is based on a per plant cost for replacement; the final quantity of replanting at one year from the completion of construction required will be detennined by Collier County at one year from the completion of construction. For the purpose of budget, the quantity of plants to be replaced at one year has been assumed to be 20% of the total number of plants installed (i.e. 80% survivorship of littoral plants has been assumed). 3. Does the littoral plantings need a 12 month maintenance program with the cost of the plantings or will the owner be providing this service? 1 CAO Page 1765 of 5419 1 1 A See response above and the updated bid memo. A.line item has been added for exotic vegetation treatment during the first year following the co:mpletion of construction and the cost of replanting at one year from the completion of construction has been added into the scope of the bid. 4. What does the 12 month littoral planting warranty require? Please see the description in the responses above. The one year warranty has been removed and replaced with a maintenance program and cost for replanting at one year from the completion of construction. 5. Is the typical concrete pavement section on sheet C-501 for the boat ramps? The boat ramps should be constructed in accordance with the typical concrete pavement section detail (eight inch thick concrete pavement) and jointing shall be as shown in the jointing detail with a joint spacing in accordance with FDOT standards. The replacement of sidewalks within. the Carson Road Right-of-Way shall be done in accordance with the typical concrete sidewalk detail(six inch thick concrete).

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:[2022_ver.3] CAC Page 1816 of 5419 11A 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:[2022_ver.3] CAO Page 1817 of 5419 1 1 A 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:[2022_ver.3] CAO Page 1818 of 5419 1 1 A 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 shal 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 ofpaymentinfullforallmaterials, labor, equipment and other bills that are then due and payable byOwnerwithrespecttothecurrentApplicationforPayment. 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 earlycompletionoftheWorkshallmodifythetimeofpaymentstoContractorassetforthintheapproved 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 thisAgreementpendingresolutionofthedisputeprovidedthatOwnercontinuestopayContractorall 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 theessencewithrespecttothetimelysubmissionofinvoicesunderthisagreement. 4.12 The County may, at its discretion, use VISA/MASTER card credit network as a paymentvehicleforgoodsand/or services purchased as a part of this contract. The County may not acceptanyadditionalsurcharges (credit card transaction fees) as a result of using the County's credit card for transactions relating to this solicitation 31 Construction Services Agreement:[2022_ver.3] CAO Page 1819 of 5419 114 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:[2022_ver.3] CAO Page 1820 of 5419 h 1 A 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:[2022_ver.3] CAO Page 1821 of 5419 1itA 7.5 The Project Manager shall be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed substitute and, if need be, to consult with the Design Professional. No substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without the Project Manager's prior written acceptance which shall be evidenced by a Change Order, a Work Directive Change, a Field Order or an approved Shop Drawing. The Owner may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. The Project Manager will record time required by the Project Manager and the Project Manager's consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by Contractor and making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby. Whether or not the Owner accepts a proposed substitute, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for the charges of the Design Professional and the Design Professional's consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute. 8. DAILY REPORTS, SIGNED AND SEALED AS-BUILTS AND MEETINGS. 8.1 Unless waived in writing by Owner, Contractor shall complete and submit to Project Manager on a weekly basis a daily log of the Contractor's work for the preceding week in a format approved by the Project Manager. The daily log shall document all activities of Contractor at the Project site including, but not limited to, the following: 8.1.1 Weather conditions showing the high and low temperatures during work hours, the amount of precipitation received on the Project site, and any other weather conditions which adversely affect the Work; 8.1.2 Soil conditions which adversely affect the Work; 8.1.3 The hours of operation by Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's personnel; 8.1.4 The number of Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's personnel present and working at the Project site, by subcontract and trade; 8.1.5 All equipment present at the Project site, description of equipment use and designation of time equipment was used (specifically indicating any down time); 8.1.6 Description of Work being performed at the Project site; 8.1.7 Any unusual or special occurrences at the Project site; 8.1.8 Materials received at the Project site; 8.1.9 A list of all visitors to the Project 8.1.10 Any problems that might impact either the cost or quality of the Work or the time of performance. The daily log shall not constitute nor take the place of any notice required to be given by Contractor to Owner pursuant to the Contract Documents. 8.2 Contractor shall maintain in a safe place at the Project site one record copy of the Contract Documents, including, but not limited to, all drawings, specifications, addenda, amendments, Change Orders, Work Directive Changes and Field Orders, as well as all written interpretations and clarifications issued by the Design Professional, in good order and annotated to show all changes 34 Construction Services Agreement:[2022_ver.3] Page 1822 of 5419 1 1 A 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.

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.

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.

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 remedies available to Owner. 22. TESTS AND INSPECTIONS. 22.1 Owner, Design Professional, their respective representatives, agents and employees, and governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Project shall have access at all times to the Work, whether the Work is being performed on or off of the Project site, for their observation, inspection and testing.

Such uncovering shall be at Contractor's expense unless Contractor has given Project Manager timely notice of Contractor's intention to cover the same and Project Manager has not acted with reasonable promptness to respond to such notice. If any Work is covered contrary to written directions from Project Manager, such Work must, if requested by Project Manager, be uncovered for Project Manager's observation and be replaced at Contractor's sole expense. 22.5 The Owner shall charge to Contractor and may deduct from any payments due Contractor all engineering and inspection expenses incurred by Owner in connection with any overtime work.

DEFECTIVE WORK. 23.1 Work not conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents or any warranties made or assigned by Contractor to Owner shall be deemed defective Work. If required by Project Manager, 44 Construction Services Agreement:[2022_ver.3] CAOCAO Page 1832 of 5419 1 1 A Contractor shall as directed, either correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or if the defective Work has been rejected by Project Manager, remove it from the site and replace it with non-defective Work. Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such correction or removal (including, but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals) made necessary thereby, and shall hold Owner harmless for same. 23.2 If the Project Manager considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by Design Professional or inspected or tested by others and such Work is not otherwise required to be inspected or tested, Contractor, at Project Manager's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or tests as Project Manager may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment.
