CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, ("County" or "Owner") hereby contracts with RF Environmental Services, Inc. ("Contractor") of 4840 NE 11th Ave, Oakland Park, FL 33334, a Florida Profit Corporation, authorized to do business in the State of Florida, to perform all work ("Work") in connection with NCRWTP Water Flow Meter Replacement, SCRWTP Plant Flow Meters and Lime Slakers Replacement, Invitation to Bid No. 24-8252 ("Project"), as said Work is set forth in the Plans and Specifications prepared by Carollo Engineers, Inc., 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: Two Million One Hundred Eighty-six Thousand Dollars ($2,186,000.00). The amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) has been allocated as an Owner's Allowance. Any allowance dollar amount that has been included in the Contractor's Bid Schedule amount is not a guaranteed portion of the aforementioned Contract Amount but rather is only eligible for reimbursement by the Owner if and subject to whether a specific dollar amount of the allowance is expressly authorized by the Owner and formally agreed upon and memorialized by the Parties in writing (the "Owner's Allowance"). Any dollar portion of an Owner's Allowance that is not authorized by the Owner and memorialized by the Parties in writing, via Change Order, shall not be eligible for reimbursement/payment by the Owner as part of a Payment Application submitted by the Contractor. Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 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, plus any approved allowance as provided in Section 3, 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.treasury.gov/surety-bonds/list-certified-companies.html. Should the Contract Amount be less than$500,000, the requirements of Section 287.0935, F.S. shall govern the rating and classification of the surety. B. If the surety for any bond furnished by Contractor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent, its right to do business is terminated in the State of Florida, or it ceases to meet the requirements imposed by the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, within five(5)calendar days thereafter, substitute at its cost and expense another bond and surety, both of which shall be subject to the Owner's approval. Section 5. Contract Time and Liquidated 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 Four Hundred Twenty (420) 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, as more particularly defined herein at Section 16, Defined Terms. Contractor shall achieve Final Completion within Thirty (30) calendar days after the date the Punch List is delivered to the Contractor. 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, Seven Hundred Seventy-nine Dollars ($779.00) 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 2 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 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, and as more particularly defined herein at Section 16, Defined Terms. Contractor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any right which it may have to seek to characterize the above noted liquidated damages as a penalty, which the parties agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the Owner's actual damages at the time of contracting if Contractor fails to Substantially or Finally Complete the Work within the required time periods. C. Computation of Time Periods. When any period of time is referenced by days herein, it shall be computed to exclude the first day and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day shall be omitted from the computation, and the last day shall become the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. D. Determination of Number of Days of Default. For all contracts, 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, as more particularly defined herein at Section 16, Defined Terms. 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. 3 Construction Services Agreement: [2024_ver.2] Section 6.

CONTRACTOR: WITNESS: Signature Signature Name Printed and Title Name Printed [2024_ver.1] 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. 27 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 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 the Board's award of the Agreement, 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 28 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 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 At least ten (10)days prior to submitting the monthly Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager a final Schedule of Values. The Schedule of Values shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Project Manager and shall subdivide the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for measuring quantities in place and calculating amounts for the Contractor's monthly progress payments during construction. Further, it shall include 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. Unsupported or unreasonable allocation of the Contract Price to any one activity shall be justification for rejection of the Schedule of Values. The Contractor shall not submit an unbalanced Schedule of Values which provides for overpayment to the Contractor on activities that would be performed first. The Schedule of Values shall be revised and resubmitted until acceptable to the Project Manager. Once the schedule has been accepted by the Project Manager, the Owner reserves the right (at its option) throughout the Contract to require that the Contractor honor a particular price contained in the Schedule of Values, if the activity pertaining to it is being deleted or modified. Upon approval of the Schedule of Values by the Project Manager, it shall be incorporated into the form of Application for Payment attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D and shall be used as the basis for the Contractor's monthly Applications for Payment. The 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. 4.2 The first Application for Payment shall be submitted no earlier than thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, and monthly thereafter, but not more often than once a month or prior to substantial completion being met. 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 agreed to by the Owner in writing, the Application for Payment shall also 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 form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit D-3. 29 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 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). Within twenty (20) business days 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 therefor; or (3) return the Application for Payment to the Contractor indicating, in writing, the reason for refusing to approve payment. Payments of proper invoices shall be processed in accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and the terms of the Contract Documents. 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 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. 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- 30 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] payment under the legal doctrine of "'aches" as untimely submitted. Time shall be deemed of the essence with respect to the timely submission of invoices under this agreement. 4.12 The Owner 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 Owner may not accept any additional surcharges (credit card transaction fees) as a result of using the Owner's credit card for transactions relating to this agreement. 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 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 terms of the Contract Documents 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 form attached as Exhibit C, as well as, a duly executed copy of the Surety's consent to Final Payment and such other 31 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] [w® 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 Acceptance and Final Payment Checklist, a representative copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit G. 6.2 Contractor's acceptance of final payment shall constitute a full waiver of any and all claims by Contractor against Owner arising out of this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Project, except those previously made in writing in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and identified by Contractor as unsettled in its final Application for Payment. Neither the acceptance of the Work nor payment by Owner shall be deemed to be a waiver of Owner's right to enforce any obligations of Contractor hereunder or to the recovery of damages for defective Work not discovered by the Design Professional or Project Manager at the time of final inspection. 7. SUBMITTALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS. 7.1 Contractor shall carefully examine the Contract Documents for all requirements for approval of materials to be submitted such as shop drawings, data, test results, schedules and samples. Contractor shall submit all such materials at its own expense and in such form as required by the Contract Documents in sufficient time to prevent any delay in the delivery of such materials and the installation thereof. 7.2 Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular supplier, the naming of the item is intended to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other suppliers may be accepted by Owner if sufficient information is submitted by Contractor to allow the Owner to determine that the material or equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named. Requests for review of substitute items of material and equipment will not be accepted by Owner from anyone other than Contractor and all such requests must be submitted by Contractor to Project Manager within thirty (30) calendar days after Notice to Proceed 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. 32 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 7.4 If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to the Project Manager, if Contractor submits sufficient information to allow the Project Manager to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedures for submission to and review by the Project Manager shall be the same as those provided herein for substitute materials and equipment. 7.5 The Project Manager shall be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed substitute and, if need be, to consult with the Design Professional. No substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without the Project Manager's prior written acceptance which shall be evidenced by a Change Order, a Work Directive Change, a Field Order or an approved Shop Drawing. The Owner may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. The Project Manager will record time required by the Project Manager and the Project Manager's consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by Contractor and making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby. Whether or not the Owner accepts a proposed substitute, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for the charges of the Design Professional and the Design Professional's consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute. 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. 33 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] The daily log shall not constitute nor take the place of any notice required to be given by Contractor to Owner pursuant to the Contract Documents. 8.2 Contractor shall maintain in a safe place at the Project site one record copy of the Contract Documents, including, but not limited to, all drawings, specifications, addenda, amendments, Change Orders, Work Directive Changes and Field Orders, as well as all written interpretations and clarifications issued by the Design Professional, in good order and annotated to show all changes made during construction. The annotated drawings shall be continuously updated by the Contractor throughout the prosecution of the Work to accurately reflect all field changes that are made to adapt the Work to field conditions, changes resulting from Change Orders, Work Directive Changes and Field Orders, and all concealed and buried installations of piping, conduit, and utility services. All buried and concealed items, both inside and outside the Project site, shall be accurately located on the annotated drawings as to depth and in relationship to not less than two (2) permanent features (e.g. interior or exterior wall faces). The annotated drawings shall be clean, and all changes, corrections and 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 3299 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 102 Naples, FL 34112-5746 Telephone: (239) 252-8999 Email: PublicRecordRequest(a�colliercountvfl.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. 34 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 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 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 materialmen, 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 in the form of a Work Directive, Exhibit E-2, and Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any increased compensation without such 35 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] written order. No officer, employee or agent of Owner is authorized to direct any extra or changed work orally. Any alleged changes must be approved by Owner in writing prior to starting such items. Owner will not be responsible for the costs of any changes commenced without Owner's express prior written approval. Failure to obtain such prior written approval for any changes will be deemed: (i) a waiver of any claim by Contractor for such items and (ii) an admission by Contractor that such items are in fact not a change but rather are part of the Work required of Contractor hereunder. 10.2 A Change Order, in the form attached as Exhibit E to this Agreement, shall be issued and executed promptly after an agreement is reached between Contractor and Owner concerning the requested changes. Contractor shall promptly perform changes authorized by duly executed Change Orders. The Contract Amount and Contract Time shall be adjusted in the Change Order in the manner as Owner and Contractor shall mutually agree. 10.3 If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree on a Change Order for the requested change, Contractor shall, nevertheless, promptly perform the change as directed by Owner in a written Work Directive. 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 affected 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, as amended and the terms of the Contract Documents 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 36 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] matters in question between Owner and Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents. The responsibility to substantiate a Claim shall rest with the party making the Claim. 11.2 Claims by the Contractor shall be made in writing to the Project Manager within forty-eight (48) hours from when the Contractor knew or should have known of the event giving rise to such Claim or else the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the Claim. Written supporting data shall be submitted to the Project Manager within fifteen (15) calendar days after the occurrence of the event, unless the Owner grants additional time in writing, or else the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the Claim. All Claims shall be priced in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 10.4. 11.3 The Contractor shall proceed diligently with its performance as directed by the Owner, regardless of any pending Claim, action, suit, or administrative proceeding, unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner in writing. Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Contract Documents during the pendency of any Claim. 12. OTHER WORK. 12.1 Owner may perform other work related to the Project at the site by Owner's own forces, have other work performed by utility owners or let other direct contracts. If the fact that such other work is to be performed is not noted in the Contract Documents, written notice thereof will be given to Contractor prior to starting any such other work. If Contractor believes that such performance will involve additional expense to Contractor or require additional time, Contractor shall send written notice of that fact to Owner and Design Professional within forty-eight(48) hours of being notified of the other work. If the Contractor fails to send the above required forty-eight (48) hour notice, the Contractor will be deemed to have waived any rights it otherwise may have had to seek an extension to the Contract Time or adjustment to the Contract Amount. 12.2 Contractor shall afford each utility owner and other contractor who is a party to such a direct contract (or 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 37 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'fees and paralegals'fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the Contractor or anyone employed or utilized by the Contractor in the performance of this Agreement. 13.2 The duty to defend under this Article 13 is independent and separate from the duty to indemnify, and the duty to defend exists regardless of any ultimate liability of the Contractor, Owner, and any indemnified party. The duty to defend arises immediately upon presentation of a claim by any party and written notice of such claim being provided to Contractor. Contractor's obligation to indemnify and defend under this Article 13 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until it is determined by final judgment that an action against the Owner or an indemnified party for the matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations. 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. 38 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] Contractors/Bidders are required to enroll in the E-Verify program, and provide acceptable evidence of their enrollment, at the time of the submission of the Contractor's/bidder's proposal. Acceptable evidence consists of a copy of the properly completed E-Verify Company Profile page or a copy of the fully executed E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding for the company. Contractors are also required to provide the Collier County Procurement Services Division an executed affidavit certifying they shall comply with the E-Verify Program. The affidavit is attached to the solicitation documents. If the Bidder/Contractor does not comply with providing both the acceptable E-Verify evidence and the executed affidavit the bidder's/Contractor's proposal may be deemed non- responsive. 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. 39 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 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. 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 40 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] shall be paid to the Contractor. The amount to be paid to the Contractor or Owner, as the case may be, shall be approved by the Project Manager, upon application, and this obligation for payment shall survive termination of the Agreement. 18.4 The liability of Contractor hereunder shall extend to and include the full amount of any and all sums paid, expenses and losses incurred, damages sustained, and obligations assumed by Owner in good faith under the belief that such payments or assumptions were necessary or required, in completing the Work and providing labor, materials, equipment, supplies, and other items therefore or re-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. 41 Construction Services Agreement: [2024_ver.2] 20. COMPLETION. Substantial Completion and Development of the Punch List 20.1 Substantial Completion is as defined in the Defined Terms section of this Agreement. When the Contractor believes Substantial Completion has been achieved, it shall certify in writing to the Project Manager that the Project is Substantially Complete in accordance with the Contract Documents and request the Project Manager to inspect the Work and to issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion. Prior to making such a request the Contractor must: a) Complete all Work necessary for the safe, proper and complete use or operation of the Project as intended, including: all regulatory agency requirements are satisfied, including occupancy permits; operating certificates and similar releases; all operational testing has successfully occurred; all required training has successfully occurred; all close-out documents (such as as-built drawings, certifications, warranties, guaranties, test reports test logs, operational manuals, etc.) have been provided by Contractor and accepted by Owner. b) Prepare a Contractor-generated punch list(i.e., a list of all items required to render the Project complete, satisfactory, and acceptable, for submission with the request for inspection and issuance of a certificate of Substantial Completion), which shall include and list separately the estimated cost to complete each remaining unfinished item included on the list with an explanation as to the basis for those costs, substantiated by the Schedule of Values, subject to the Owner's final review and approval as stated below. c) Upon receipt of the request from the Contractor, the Project Manager, assisted by the Professional, if any, and other Owner personnel, as appropriate, shall review the request, the Work and the Contractor-generated Punch List to determine whether the Work is ready for Substantial Completion inspection. If this review fails to support Substantial Completion inspection, the Project Manager shall so notify the Contractor citing the reasons for rejection. If the Project Manager and Professional (if any) determine the Work is ready for Substantial Completion inspection, the following procedures will be followed: 1. The Project Manager will, within a reasonable time, schedule, and conduct inspection(s) of the Work with the Professional (if any), other Owner personnel as required, and the Contractor for the purpose of formally reviewing the status of completion of the Work, the readiness of the Project for use and the Contractor-generated Punch List. A copy of the Contractor- generated punch list will be provided to all participants and any additional items noted during the inspection will be added to the list. The Project Manager, the Professional, their representatives and other Owner representatives will review the Work and the Contractor-generated punch list to assure all deficiencies are noted on a final document (Exhibit F-3 Punch List Form). The Punch List must include all items required to render the Project complete, satisfactory and acceptable. If Project Manager and Contractor disagree on whether an item belongs on the Punch List, the Project Manager has the final say on whether the item is included or not. The Punch List shall be finalized and issued to the Contractor by the Owner within the time frames indicated below. 42 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 2. If upon completion of the inspection(s) the Owner does not consider the Project Substantially Complete, the Project Manager will notify the Contractor in writing giving reasons why the Project is not Substantially Complete. 3. If, upon completion of the inspection(s), the Owner considers the Project Substantially Complete, the Project Manager shall prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion to establish the date for Substantial Completion as the date of the completed inspection(s). The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be approved by the Owner upon the signature of both the Project Manager and the Professional and shall be issued to the Contractor. The Certificate shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. 4. Substantial Completion cannot occur until all conditions necessary for safe and proper use, occupancy, maintenance, and operations are in place. 20.2 Time Frames for Issuance of the Punch List (a) The Owner shall issue the Punch List to the Contractor within the time frames described below, provided that the Contractor has completed its obligations in providing a proper contractor-generated Punch List prior to the Substantial Completion inspection. (b) For construction estimated to cost less than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00), the Punch List must be finalized within thirty (30) Days after the Substantial Completion date. (c) For construction projects estimated to cost more than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00), the Punch List must be finalized and issued within forty-five (45) Days after the Substantial Completion date. (d) For construction projects involving more than one building or structure or multiple phases, the Punch List must be prepared for each building, structure or phase within thirty (30) Days of the Substantial Completion date of a particular building, structure or phase if it is estimated to cost less than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) or within forty-five (45) Days if it is estimated to cost more than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00). (e) If the development of the Punch List takes the full amount of time designated (or a portion thereof) and includes a tentative punch-list based upon the above dollar amount thresholds, the delivery of the Punch List of items shall be delivered by the Owner no later than five (5) business days thereafter. Within twenty (20) business days after the delivery of the Punch List to the Contractor, the Owner must pay the Contractor the remaining contract balance owed, that includes all retainage previously withheld by Owner less an amount equal to 150 percent (150%) of the estimated cost to complete the items on the Punch List. At the same time the Owner delivers the Punch List Contractor shall submit a payment application requesting that Owner pay the Contractor the remaining contract balance owed including all retainage previously held by Owner less an 43 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] amount equal to 150 percent(150%)of the estimated cost to complete the items on the Punch List. (f) The failure to include any corrective work or pending items not yet completed on the Punch List does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all the construction services purchased pursuant to the Contract Documents. (g) 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 Punch List. The Project Manager, shall coordinate with the Contractor the return of any surplus assets, including materials, supplies, and equipment. 20.3 Completion of Punch List Work and Release of Remaining Contract Balance (a) Upon completion of the Punch List Work, the Contractor shall certify in writing to the Project Manager that all Punch List Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents and request the Project Manager to inspect the Work and to approve Punch List completion. If, in the Project Manager's opinion, the Work is not ready for such inspection, the Project Manager will so inform the Contractor, giving reasons for such opinion. If the Project Manager is satisfied that an inspection is warranted, the Project Manager will, within a reasonable time, schedule and conduct inspection(s) of the facility with representatives of the Owner's user department, the Professional (if any), and the Contractor, for the purpose of formally reviewing the completion of Punch List Work. If the Project Manager and the Contractor disagree on whether an item remains incomplete, the Project Manager has the final say on whether the item is complete or not. (b) If, upon completion of the inspection(s)the Owner does not consider the Punch List Work complete, the Project Manager will notify the Contractor in writing giving specific reasons why the Punch List Work is not complete. (c) Upon completion of all items on the Punch List, the Contractor may submit a Payment Request for the remaining amount withheld by the Owner. If a good- faith dispute exists as to whether one or more items identified on the list have been completed pursuant to the Contract Documents, the Owner may continue to withhold an amount not to exceed one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the total costs to complete such items. This remaining balance of retainage may be requested by the Contractor in its Application for Final Payment after Final Acceptance of the Work by Owner (Exhibit F-2 Certificate of Final Completion). (d) All items that require correction under the Contract Documents and that are identified after the preparation and delivery of the Punch List shall remain the obligation of the Contractor. (e) Warranty Items may not affect the Final Payment of retainage pursuant to Section 218.735(7)(f), Florida Statutes. 44 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] (f) If the Owner fails to comply with its responsibilities to assist in developing the Punch List within the time frame applicable to the Project (as described above), the Contractor may submit a request for all remaining retainage withheld by the Owner. The Owner need not pay or process any payment request for retainage if Contractor has, in whole or part, failed to cooperate with the Owner in development of the Punch List or failed to perform its contractual responsibilities with regard to development of the Punch List. Additionally, the Owner does not have to pay or release any amounts that are the subject of a good-faith dispute, the subject of a claim brought pursuant to Section 255.05, Florida Statutes, or otherwise the subject of a claim or demand by the Owner or Contractor. 20.4 Final Completion (a) Upon written notice from the Contractor that the Project is complete, the Project Manager shall schedule a final inspection with the Contractor, the Design Professional, and any other personnel requested by the Project Manager. The Project Manager shall notify the Contractor in writing of any Work this inspection reveals to be defective, or otherwise not in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall immediately take such action as may be necessary to remedy such defects and bring the Project into full compliance with the Contract Documents and then request another inspection. (b) Final Completion of the Work shall be achieved by the Contractor when all the Work required under the Contract Documents has been satisfactorily completed, including all Punch List work, and specifically as noted in the Specifications section. (c) After the Project Manager has determined that all Work has been completed, the Project Manager will issue a Certificate of Final Completion Exhibit F-2 for the Work. 20.5 Application for Final Payment After the Certificate of Final Completion, Exhibit F-2 for the Work has been issued by the Project Manager, the Contractor may make Application for Final Payment following the procedure for progress payments. As an explicit condition precedent to the accrual of Contractor's right to Final Payment, Contractor shall have furnished Owner with a properly executed and notarized copy of the Release and Affidavit form 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, including but not limited to: (1) Receipt of Contractor's Final Application for Payment.

Otherwise, the Project Manager will return the Application to the Contractor, indicating in writing the reason for refusing to approve for Final Payment, in which case the Contractor will make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. 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. (b) Contractor's acceptance of Final Payment shall constitute a full waiver of any and all claims by Contractor against Owner arising out of this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Project, except those previously made in writing in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and identified by Contractor as unsettled in its final Application for Payment. Neither the acceptance of the Work nor payment by Owner shall be deemed to be a waiver of Owner's right to enforce any obligations of Contractor hereunder or to the recovery of damages for defective Work not discovered by the Design Professional or Project Manager at the time of final inspection. (c) The Contractor's obligation to perform the Work and complete the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents shall be absolute. Neither approval of any progress or Final Payment, the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion, any payment by the Owner to the Contractor under the Contract Documents, any use or occupancy of the Project or any part thereof by the Owner,the issuance of a Final Completion, any act of acceptance by the Owner, any failure to do so, nor any correction of defective Work by the Owner shall constitute an acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents. 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 46 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] Documents shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned and conditioned in accordance with the instructions of the applicable manufacturers,fabricators, suppliers or processors except as otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents. If, within one (1)year after Substantial Completion, any Work is found to be defective or not in conformance with the Contract Documents, Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from Owner. Contractor shall also be responsible for and pay for replacement or repair of adjacent materials or Work which may be damaged as a result of such replacement or repair. Further, in the event of an emergency, Owner may commence to correct any defective Work, without prior notice to Contractor, at Contractor's expense. These warranties are in addition to those implied warranties to which Owner is entitled as a matter of law. 21.2 No later than 30 days prior to expiration of the warranty, the Project Manager, or another representative of the Owner, shall conduct an inspection of the warranted work to verify compliance with the requirements of the Agreement. The Contractor's 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. Contractor shall provide proper, safe conditions for such access. Contractor shall provide Project Manager with timely notice of readiness of the Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals. 22.2 If the Contract Documents or any codes, laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of any public authority having jurisdiction over the Project requires any portion of the Work to be specifically inspected, tested or approved, Contractor shall assume full responsibility therefore, pay all costs in connection therewith and furnish Project Manager the required certificates of inspection, testing or approval. All inspections, tests or approvals shall be performed in a manner and by organizations acceptable to the Project Manager. 22.3 Contractor is responsible, without reimbursement from Owner, for re-inspection fees and costs; to the extent such re-inspections are due to the fault or neglect of Contractor. 22.4 If any Work that is to be inspected,tested or approved is covered without written concurrence from the Project Manager, such work must, if requested by Project Manager, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at Contractor's expense unless Contractor has given Project Manager timely notice of Contractor's intention to cover the same and Project Manager has not acted with reasonable promptness to respond to such notice. If any Work is covered contrary to written directions from Project Manager, such Work must, if requested by Project Manager, be uncovered for Project Manager's observation, and be replaced at Contractor's sole expense. 22.5 The Owner shall charge to Contractor and may deduct from any payments due Contractor all engineering and inspection expenses incurred by Owner in connection with any overtime work. Such overtime work consisting of any work during the construction period beyond the regular eight(8) hour day and for any work performed on Saturday, Sunday, or holidays. 47 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] 22.6 Neither observations nor other actions by the Project Manager or Design Professional nor inspections, tests or approvals by others shall relieve Contractor from Contractor's obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 23. 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, Contractor shall, as directed, either correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or if the defective Work has been rejected by Project Manager, remove it from the site and replace it with non-defective Work. Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect, and consequential costs of such correction or removal (including, but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals) made necessary thereby, and shall hold Owner harmless for same. 23.2 If the Project Manager considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by Design Professional or inspected or tested by others and such Work is not otherwise required to be inspected or tested, Contractor, at Project Manager's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or tests as Project Manager may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect, and consequential costs of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals), and Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Amount. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Amount and/or an extension to the Contract Time, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and reconstruction. 23.3 If any portion of the Work is defective, or if Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers, suitable materials or equipment or fails to finish or perform the Work in such a way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents, Project Manager may order Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated. The right of Project Manager to stop the Work shall be exercised, if at all, solely for Owner's benefit and nothing herein shall be construed as obligating the Project Manager to exercise this right for the benefit of Design Engineer, Contractor, or any other person. 23.4 Should the Owner determine, at its sole opinion, it is in the Owner's best interest to accept defective Work, the Owner may do so. Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect, and consequential costs attributable to the Owner's evaluation of and determination to accept defective Work. If such determination is rendered prior to Final Payment, a Change Order shall be executed evidencing such acceptance of such defective Work, incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents, and reflecting an appropriate decrease in the Contract Amount. If the Owner accepts such defective Work after Final Payment, Contractor shall promptly pay Owner an appropriate amount to adequately compensate Owner for its acceptance of the defective Work. 23.5 If Contractor fails, within a reasonable time after the written notice from Project Manager, to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected defective Work as required by Project Manager or Owner, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any of the provisions of the Contract Documents, Owner may, after seven (7) days written notice to Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. Provided, however, Owner shall not be required to give notice to Contractor in the event 48 Construction Services Agreement:[2024_ver.2] of an emergency. To the extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, Owner may exclude Contractor from any or all of the Project site, take possession of all or any part of the Work, and suspend Contractor's services related thereto, take possession of Contractor's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the Project site and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Project site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Design Professional and their respective representatives, agents, and employees such access to the Project site as may be necessary to enable Owner to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect, and consequential costs of Owner in exercising such rights and remedies shall be charged against Contractor, and a Change Order shall be issued, incorporating the necessary revisions to the Contract Documents, including an appropriate decrease to the Contract Amount. Such direct, indirect, and consequential costs shall include, but not be limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court costs and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of Contractor's defective Work. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by Owner of Owner's rights and remedies hereunder. 24.

EMERGENCIES. 26.1 In the event of an emergency affecting the safety or protection of persons or the Work or property at the Project site or adjacent thereto, Contractor,without special instruction or authorization from Owner or Design Professional is obligated to act to prevent threatened damage, injury, or loss. Contractor shall give Project Manager written notice within forty-eight (48) hours after Contractor knew or should have known of the occurrence of the emergency, if Contractor believes that any significant changes in the Work or variations from the Contract Documents have been caused thereby. If the Project Manager determines that a change in the Contract Documents is required because of the action taken in response to an emergency, a Change Order shall be issued to document the consequences of the changes or variations. If Contractor fails to provide the forty-eight (48) hour written notice noted above, the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived any right it otherwise may have had to seek an adjustment to the Contract Amount or an extension to the Contract Time. 27. USE OF PREMISES. 27.1 Contractor shall maintain all construction equipment, the storage of materials and equipment and the operations of workers to the Project site and land and areas identified in and permitted by the Contract Documents and other lands and areas permitted by law, rights of way, permits and easements, and shall not unreasonably encumber the Project site with construction equipment or other material or equipment.
