( "Contractor ") of 28131 Quails Nest Lane, Bonita Springs, Florida 34135, a Florida corporation, authorized to do business in the State of Florida, to perform all work ( "Work ") in connection with 1 -75 At Golden Gate Parkway Landscape Improvements, Bid No. 09 -5140 ('Project "), as said Work is set forth in the Plans and Specifications prepared by McGee & Associates, the Engineer and /or Architect of Record ( "Design Professional') and other Contract Documents hereafter specified. Owner and Contractor, for the consideration herein set forth, agree as follows: Section 1. Contract Documents. A. The Contract Documents consist of this Agreement, the Exhibits described in Section 6 hereof, the Legal Advertisement, the Bidding Documents and any duly executed and issued addenda, Change Orders, Work Directive Changes, Field Orders and amendments relating thereto. All of the foregoing Contract Documents are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement (all of said documents including the Agreement sometimes being referred to herein as the "Contract Documents" and sometimes as the "Agreement' and sometimes as the "Contract "). A copy of the Contract Documents shall be maintained by Contractor at the Project site at all times during the performance of the Work. B. Owner shall furnish to the Contractor one reproducible set of the Contract Documents and the appropriate number of sets of the Construction Documents, signed and sealed by the Design Professional, as are reasonably necessary for permitting. Section 2. Scope of Work. Contractor agrees to furnish and pay for all management, supervision, financing, labor, materials, tools, fuel, supplies, utilities, equipment and services of every kind and type necessary to diligently, timely, and fully perform and complete in a good and workmanlike manner the Work required by the Contract Documents. Section 3. Contract Amount. In consideration of the faithful performance by Contractor of the covenants in this Agreement to the full satisfaction and acceptance of Owner, Owner agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to Contractor the following amount (herein "Contract Amount'), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: ninety seven thousand, nine hundred ninety five dollars and seventy five cents ($97,995.75) GC -CA- 13 Section 4. Bonds. A. Contractor shall provide Performance and Payment Bonds, in the form prescribed in Exhibit A, in the amount of 100% of the Contract Amount, the costs of which are to be paid by Contractor. The Performance and Payment Bonds shall be underwritten by a surety authorized to do business in the State of Florida and otherwise acceptable to Owner; provided, however, the surety shall meet the requirements of the Department of the Treasury Fiscal Service, "Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and as Acceptable Reinsurance Companies" circular. This circular may be accessed via the web at www .fms.treas.gov /c570 /c570.html #certified. Should the Contract Amount be less than $500,000, the requirements of Section 287.0935, F.S. shall govern the rating and classification of the surety. B. If the surety for any bond furnished by Contractor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent, its right to do business is terminated in the State of Florida, or it ceases to meet the requirements imposed by the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, within five (5) calendar days thereafter, substitute at its cost and expense another bond and surety, both of which shall be subject to the Owner's approval. Section 5. Contract Time and Liquidated 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 forty five (45) calendar days from the Commencement Date (herein "Contract Time "). The date of Substantial Completion of the Work (or designated portions thereof) is the date certified by the Design Professional when construction is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the Contract Documents, so Owner can occupy or utilize the Work (or designated portions thereof) for the use for which it is intended. Contractor shall achieve Final Completion within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of Substantial Completion. Final Completion shall occur when the Agreement is completed in its entirety, is accepted by the Owner as complete and is so stated by the Owner as completed. As used herein and throughout the Contract Documents, the phrase "Project Manager" refers to the Owner's duly authorized representative and shall mean the Division Administrator or Department Director, as applicable, acting directly or through duly authorized representatives. B. Liquidated Damages in General. Owner and Contractor recognize that, since time is of the essence for this Agreement, Owner will suffer financial loss if Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion GC -CA- 14 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, five hundred and eighty dollars ($580.00) for each calendar day thereafter until Substantial Completion is achieved. Further, in the event Substantial Completion is reached, but the Contractor fails to reach Final Completion within the required time period, Owner shall also be entitled to assess and Contractor shall be liable for all actual damages incurred by Owner as a result of Contractor failing to timely achieve Final Completion. The Project shall be deemed to be substantially completed on the date the Project Manager (or at his /her direction, the Design Professional) issues a Certificate of Substantial Completion pursuant to the terms hereof. Contractor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any right which it may have to seek to characterize the above noted liquidated damages as a penalty, which the parties agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the Owner's actual damages at the time of contracting if Contractor fails to Substantially or Finally Complete the Work within the required time periods. C. Computation of Time Periods. When any period of time is referenced by days herein, it shall be computed to exclude the first day and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day shall be omitted from the computation, and the last day shall become the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. D. Determination of Number of Days of Default. For all contracts, regardless of whether the Contract Time is stipulated in calendar days or working days, the Owner will count default days in calendar days. E. Right of Collection. The Owner has the right to apply any amounts due Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, as payment on such liquidated damages due under this Agreement in Owner's sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Owner retains its right to liquidated damages due under this Agreement even if Contractor, at Owner's election and in its sole discretion, is allowed to continue and to finish the Work, or any part of it, after the expiration of the Contract Time including granted time extensions. F. Completion of Work by Owner. In the event Contractor defaults on any of its obligations under the Agreement and Owner elects to complete the Work, in whole or in part, through another contractor or its own forces, the Contractor and its surety shall continue to be liable for the liquidated damages under the Agreement until Owner achieves Substantial and Final Completion of the Work. Owner will not charge liquidated damages for any delay in achieving Substantial or Final Completion as a result of any unreasonable action or delay on the part of the Owner. GC -CA- 15 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.

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: GC- CA -H -1 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. 2.2 Contractor shall locate all existing roadways, railways, drainage facilities and utility services above, upon, or under the Project site, said roadways, railways, drainage facilities and utilities being referred to in this Sub - Section 2.2 as the "Utilities ". Contractor shall contact the owners of all Utilities to determine the necessity for relocating or temporarily interrupting any Utilities during the construction of the Project. Contractor shall schedule and coordinate its Work around any such relocation or temporary service interruption. Contractor shall be responsible for properly shoring, supporting and protecting all Utilities at all times during the course of the Work. The Contractor is responsible for coordinating all other utility work so as to not interfere with the prosecution of the Work (except those utilities to be coordinated by the Owner as may be expressly described elsewhere in the Contract Documents). 2.3 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, if conditions are encountered at the Project site which are (i) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (ii) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, and which reasonably should not have been discovered by Contractor as part of its scope of site investigative services required pursuant to the terms of the Contract Documents, then Contractor shall provide Owner with prompt written notice thereof before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than three (3) calendar days after first observance of such conditions. Owner and Design Professional shall promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, Owner will acknowledge and agree to an equitable adjustment to Contractor's compensation or time for performance, or both, for such Work. If Owner determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents or not of an unusual nature or should have been discovered by Contractor as part of its investigative services, and that no change in the terms of the Agreement is justified, Owner shall so notify Contractor in writing, stating its reasons. Claims by Contractor in opposition to such determination by Owner must be made within seven (7) calendar days after Contractor's receipt of Owner's written determination notice. If Owner and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment to Contractor's cost or time of performance, the dispute resolution procedure set forth in the Contract Documents shall be complied with by the parties. GC- CA -H -2 3. SCHEDULE. 3.1 The Contractor, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Award, shall prepare and submit to Project Manager, for their review and approval, a progress schedule for the Project (herein "Progress Schedule "). The Progress Schedule shall relate to all Work required by the Contract Documents, and shall utilize the Critical Path method of scheduling and shall provide for expeditious and practicable execution of the Work within the Contract Time. The Progress Schedule shall indicate the dates for starting and completing the various stages of the Work. 3.2 The Progress Schedule shall be updated monthly by the Contractor. All monthly updates to the Progress Schedule shall be subject to the Project Manager's review and approval. Contractor shall submit the updates to the Progress Schedule with its monthly Applications for Payment noted below. The Project Manager's review and approval of the submitted Progress Schedule updates shall be a condition precedent to the Owner's obligation to pay Contractor. 3.3 All work under this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of all Collier County Noise Ordinances then in effect. Unless otherwise specified, work will generally be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. No work shall be performed outside the specified hours without the prior approval of the Project Manager. 4. PROGRESS PAYMENTS. 4.1 Prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall submit to Project Manager, for their review and approval, a schedule of values based upon the Contract Price, listing the major elements of the Work and the dollar value for each element. After its approval by the Project Manager, this schedule of values shall be used as the basis for the Contractor's monthly Applications for Payment. This schedule shall be updated and submitted each month along with a completed copy of the Application for Payment form signed by the Contractor's authorized representative and attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D. 4.2 Prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall provide to the Project Manager the list of its Subcontractors and materialmen submitted with its Bid showing the work and materials involved and the dollar amount of each subcontract and purchase order. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any modifications to the list of Subcontractors submitted with Contractor's Bid and any subsequently identified Subcontractors are subject to Owner's prior written approval. The first Application for Payment shall be submitted no earlier than thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if approved by Owner in its sole discretion, Contractor may submit its invoice for any required Payment and Performance Bonds prior to the first Application of Payment provided that Contractor has furnished Owner certified copies of the receipts evidencing the premium paid by Contractor for the bonds. GC- CA -H -3 4.3 Unless expressly approved by Owner in advance and in writing, said approval at Owner's sole discretion, Owner is not required to make any payment for materials or equipment that have not been incorporated into the Project. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated into the Project, but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location, and such payment and storage have been agreed to by Owner in writing, the Application for Payment also shall be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that the Owner has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances, together with evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein, all of which shall be subject to the Owner's satisfaction. Thereafter, with each Application for Payment, Contractor also shall complete and submit to Owner as part of its Application for Payment, the Stored Materials Record attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit D. 4.4 Contractor shall submit six (6) copies of its monthly Application for Payment to the Project Manager or his or her designee, as directed by Owner (which designee may include the Design Professional). After the date of each Application for Payment is stamped as received and within the timeframes set forth in Section 218.735 F.S., the Project Manager, or Design Professional, shall either: (1) Indicate its approval of the requested payment; (2) indicate its approval of only a portion of the requested payment, stating in writing its reasons therefore; or (3) return the Application for Payment to the Contractor indicating, in writing, the reason for refusing to approve payment. Payments of proper invoices in the amounts approved shall be processed and paid in accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and the administrative procedures established by the County's Purchasing Department and the Clerk of Court's Finance Department respectively. In the event of a total denial by Owner and return of the Application for Payment by the Project Manager, the Contractor may make the necessary corrections and re- submit the Application for Payment. The Owner shall, within ten (10) business days after the Application for Payment is stamped and received and after Project Manager approval of an Application for Payment, pay the Contractor the amounts so approved. 4.5 Owner shall retain ten percent (10 %) of the gross amount of each monthly payment request or ten percent (10 %) of the portion thereof approved by the Project Manager for payment, whichever is less. Such sum shall be accumulated and not released to Contractor until final payment is due unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner in accordance with Florida Statute 255.078. The Project Manager shall have the discretion to establish, in writing, a schedule to periodically reduce the percentage of cumulative retainage held through out the course of the Project schedule. Owner shall reduce the amount of the retainage withheld on each payment request subsequent to fifty percent (50 %) completion subject to the guidelines set forth in Florida Statute 255.078 and as set forth in the Owner's Purchasing Policy. GC- CA -H -4 4.6 Monthly payments to Contractor shall in no way imply approval or acceptance of Contractor's Work. 4.7 Each Application for Payment, subsequent to the first pay application, shall be accompanied by a Release and Affidavit, in the form attached as Exhibit C, acknowledging Contractor's receipt of payment in full for all materials, labor, equipment and other bills that are then due and payable by Owner with respect to the current Application for Payment. Further, to the extent directed by Owner and in Owner's sole discretion, Contractor shall also submit a Release and Affidavit from each Subcontractor, sub - subcontractor, or supplier in the form attached as Exhibit C acknowledging that each Subcontractor, sub - subcontractor or supplier has been paid in full through the previous month's Application for Payment. The Owner shall not be required to make payment until and unless these affidavits are furnished by Contractor. 4.8 Contractor agrees and understands that funding limitations exist and that the expenditure of funds must be spread over the duration of the Project at regular intervals based on the Contract Amount and Progress Schedule. Accordingly, prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall prepare and submit for Project Manager's review and approval, a detailed Project Funding Schedule, which shall be updated as necessary and approved by Owner to reflect approved adjustments to the Contract Amount and Contract Time. No voluntary acceleration or early completion of the Work shall modify the time of payments to Contractor as set forth in the approved Project Funding Schedule. 4.9 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a dispute concerning payments for Work performed under this Agreement, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work required of it under this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute provided that Owner continues to pay Contractor all amounts that Owner does not dispute are due and payable. 5. PAYMENTS WITHHELD. 5.1 The Project Manager may decline to approve any Application for Payment, or portions thereof, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent inspections that reveal non - compliance with the Contract Documents. The Project Manager may nullify the whole or any part of any approval for payment previously issued and Owner may withhold any payments otherwise due Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, to such extent as may be necessary in the Owner's opinion to protect it from loss because of: (a) defective Work not remedied; (b) third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims; (c) failure of Contractor to make payment properly to subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment; (d) reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Amount; (e) reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time; (f) MOCO= 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. 6. FINAL PAYMENT. 6.1 Owner shall make final payment to Contractor in accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and the administrative procedures established by the County's Purchasing Department and the Clerk of Court's Finance Department after the Work is finally inspected and accepted by Project Manager as set forth with Section 20.1 herein, provided that Contractor first, and as an explicit condition precedent to the accrual of Contractor's right to final payment, shall have furnished Owner with a properly executed and notarized copy of the Release and Affidavit attached as Exhibit C, as well as, a duly executed copy of the Surety's consent to final payment and such other documentation that may be required by the Contract Documents and the Owner. Prior to release of final payment and final retainage, the Contractor's Representative and the Project Manager shall jointly complete the Final Payment Checklist, a representative copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit G. 6.2 Contractor's acceptance of final payment shall constitute a full waiver of any and all claims by Contractor against Owner arising out of this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Project, except those previously made in writing in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and identified by Contractor as unsettled in its final Application for Payment. Neither the acceptance of the Work nor payment by Owner shall be deemed to be a waiver of Owner's right to enforce any obligations of Contractor hereunder or to the recovery of damages for defective Work not discovered by the Design Professional or Project Manager at the time of final inspection. 7. SUBMITTALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS. 7.1 Contractor shall carefully examine the Contract Documents for all requirements for approval of materials to be submitted such as shop drawings, data, test results, schedules and samples. Contractor shall submit all such materials at its own expense and in such form as required by the Contract Documents in sufficient time to prevent any delay in the delivery of such materials and the installation thereof. 7.2 Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular supplier, the naming of the item is intended to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no substitution is permitted, GC- CA -H -6 materials or equipment of other suppliers may be accepted by Owner if sufficient information is submitted by Contractor to allow the Owner to determine that the material or equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named. Requests for review of substitute items of material and equipment will not be accepted by Owner from anyone other than Contractor and all such requests must be submitted by Contractor to Project Manager within thirty (30) calendar days after Notice of Award is received by Contractor, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by Owner and Contractor. 7.3 If Contractor wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, Contractor shall make application to the Project Manager for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute shall adequately perform the functions and achieve the results called for by the general design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use as that specified. The application shall state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will not prejudice Contractor's achievement of substantial completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner for the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or not incorporation or use by the substitute in connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service shall be indicated. The application also shall contain an itemized estimate of all costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including costs for redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which shall be considered by the Project Manager in evaluating the proposed substitute. The Project Manager may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense additional data about the proposed substitute. 7.4 If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to the Project Manager, if Contractor submits sufficient information to allow the Project Manager to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedures for submission to and review by the Project Manager shall be the same as those provided herein for substitute materials and equipment. 7.5 The Project Manager shall be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed substitute and, if need be, to consult with the Design Professional. No substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without the Project Manager's prior written acceptance which shall be evidenced by a Change Order, a Work Directive Change, a Field Order or an approved Shop Drawing. The Owner may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. The Project Manager will 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 GC- CA -H -7 Owner for the charges of the Design Professional and the Design Professional's consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute. 8. DAILY REPORTS, AS- BUILTS AND MEETINGS. 8.1 Unless waived in writing by Owner, Contractor shall complete and submit to Project Manager on a weekly basis a daily log of the Contractor's work for the preceding week in a format approved by the Project Manager. The daily log shall document all activities of Contractor at the Project site including, but not limited to, the following: 8.1.1 Weather conditions showing the high and low temperatures during work hours, the amount of precipitation received on the Project site, and any other weather conditions which adversely affect the Work; 8.1.2 Soil conditions which adversely affect the Work; 8.1.3 The hours of operation by Contractor's and Sub - Contractor's personnel; 8.1.4 The number of Contractor's and Sub - Contractor's personnel present and working at the Project site, by subcontract and trade; 8.1.5 All equipment present at the Project site, description of equipment use and designation of time equipment was used (specifically indicating any down time); 8.1.6 Description of Work being performed at the Project site; 8.1.7 Any unusual or special occurrences at the Project site; 8.1.8 Materials received at the Project site; 8.1.9 A list of all visitors to the Project 8.1.10 Any problems that might impact either the cost or quality of the Work or the time of performance. The daily log shall not constitute nor take the place of any notice required to be given by Contractor to Owner pursuant to the Contract Documents. 8.2 Contractor shall maintain in a safe place at the Project site one record copy of the Contract Documents, including, but not limited to, all drawings, specifications, addenda, amendments, Change Orders, Work Directive Changes and Field Orders, as well as all written interpretations and clarifications issued by the Design Professional, in good order and annotated to show all changes 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 GC- CA -H -8 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. Owner, or any duly authorized agents or representatives of Owner, shall have the right to audit, inspect and copy all such records and documentation as often as they deem necessary during the period of this Agreement and during the document retention period noted above; provided, however, such activity shall be conducted only during normal business hours. 9. CONTRACT TIME AND TIME EXTENSIONS. 9.1 Contractor shall diligently pursue the completion of the Work and coordinate the Work being done on the Project by its subcontractors and material -men, as well as coordinating its Work with all work of others at the Project Site, so that its Work or the work of others shall not be delayed or impaired by any act or omission by Contractor. Contractor shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures, as well as coordination of all portions of the Work under the Contract Documents, and the coordination of Owner's suppliers and contractors as set forth in Paragraph 12.2. herein. 9.2 Should Contractor be obstructed or delayed in the prosecution of or completion of the Work as a result of unforeseeable causes beyond the control of Contractor, and not due to its fault or neglect, including but not restricted to acts of Nature or of the public enemy, acts of government, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine regulation, strikes or lockouts, Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing within forty -eight (48) hours after the commencement of such delay, stating the cause or causes thereof, or be deemed to have waived any right which Contractor may have had to request a time extension. 9.3 No interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the commencement or progress of the Work from any cause whatever, including those for which Owner may be responsible, in whole or in part, shall relieve Contractor of its duty to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from Owner. Contractor expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall receive no damages for delay. Contractor's sole remedy, if any, against Owner will be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time; provided, however, the granting of any such time GC- CA -H -9 extension shall not be a condition precedent to the aforementioned "No Damage For Delay" provision. This paragraph shall expressly apply to claims for early completion, as well as to claims based on late completion. 9.4 In no event shall any approval by Owner authorizing Contractor to continue performing Work under this Agreement or any payment issued by Owner to Contractor be deemed a waiver of any right or claim Owner may have against Contractor for delay damages hereunder. 10. CHANGES IN THE WORK. 10.1 Owner shall have the right at any time during the progress of the Work to increase or decrease the Work. Promptly after being notified of a change, Contractor shall submit an itemized estimate of any cost or time increases or savings it foresees as a result of the change. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, or as expressly set forth herein, no addition or changes to the Work shall be made except upon written order of Owner, and Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any increased compensation without such written order. No officer, employee or agent of Owner is authorized to direct any extra or changed work orally. Any alleged changes must be approved by Owner in writing prior to starting such items. Owner will not be responsible for the costs of any changes commenced without Owner's express prior written approval. Failure to obtain such prior written approval for any changes will be deemed: (i) a waiver of any claim by Contractor for such items and (ii) an admission by Contractor that such items are in fact not a change but rather are part of the Work required of Contractor hereunder. 10.2 A Change Order, in the form attached as Exhibit E to this Agreement, shall be issued and executed promptly after an agreement is reached between Contractor and Owner concerning the requested changes. Contractor shall promptly perform changes authorized by duly executed Change Orders. The Contract Amount and Contract Time shall be adjusted in the Change Order in the manner as Owner and Contractor shall mutually agree. 10.3 If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree on a Change Order for the requested change, Contractor shall, nevertheless, promptly perform the change as directed by Owner in a written Work Directive Change. In that event, the Contract Amount and Contract Time shall be adjusted as directed by Owner. If Contractor disagrees with the Owner's adjustment determination, Contractor must make a claim pursuant to Section 11 of these General Conditions or else be deemed to have waived any claim on this matter it might otherwise have had. 10.4 In the event a requested change results in an increase to the Contract Amount, the amount of the increase shall be limited to the Contractor's reasonable direct labor and material costs and reasonable actual equipment costs as a result of the change (including allowance for labor burden costs) plus a maximum ten percent (10 %) markup for all overhead and profit. In the event such change Work is performed by a Subcontractor, a maximum ten percent (10 %) markup for all overhead and profit for all GC- CA -H -10 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. Contractor's and Sub - Contractor's bond costs associated with any change order shall be included in the overhead and profit expenses and shall not be paid as a separate line item. 10.5 Owner shall have the right to conduct an audit of Contractor's books and records to verify the accuracy of the Contractor's claim with respect to Contractor's costs associated with any Change Order or Work Directive Change. 10.6 The Project Manager shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving an adjustment to the Contract Amount or an extension to the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes may be effected by Field Order or by other written order. Such changes shall be binding on the Contractor. 10.7 Any modifications to this Contract shall be in compliance with the County Purchasing Policy and Administrative Procedures in effect at the time such modifications are authorized. 11. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES. 11.1 Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking an adjustment or interpretation of the terms of the Contract Documents, payment of money, extension of time or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract Documents. The term "Claim" also includes other disputes and matters in question between Owner and Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents. The responsibility to substantiate a Claim shall rest with the party making the Claim. 11.2 Claims by the Contractor shall be made in writing to the Project Manager within forty -eight (48) hours from when the Contractor knew or should have known of the event giving rise to such Claim or else the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the Claim. Written supporting data shall be submitted to the Project Manager within fifteen (15) calendar days after the occurrence of the event, unless the Owner grants additional time in writing, or else the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the Claim. All Claims shall be priced in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 10.4. 11.3 The Contractor shall proceed diligently with its performance as directed by the Owner, regardless of any pending Claim, action, suit or administrative proceeding, unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner in writing. Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Contract Documents during the pendency of any Claim. GC- CA -H -11 12. OTHER WORK. 12.1 Owner may perform other work related to the Project at the site by Owner's own forces, have other work performed by utility owners or let other direct contracts. If the fact that such other work is to be performed is not noted in the Contract Documents, written notice thereof will be given to Contractor prior to starting any such other work. If Contractor believes that such performance will involve additional expense to Contractor or require additional time, Contractor shall send written notice of that fact to Owner and Design Professional within forty -eight (48) hours of being notified of the other work. If the Contractor fails to send the above required forty -eight (48) hour notice, the Contractor will be deemed to have waived any rights it otherwise may have had to seek an extension to the Contract Time or adjustment to the Contract Amount. 12.2 Contractor shall afford each utility owner and other contractor who is a party to such a direct contract (or Owner, if Owner is performing the additional work with Owner's employees) proper and safe access to the site and a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment and the execution of such work and shall properly connect and coordinate its Work with theirs. Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work that may be required to make its several parts come together properly and integrate with such other work. Contractor shall not endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and will only cut or alter their work with the written consent of the Project Manager and the others whose work will be affected. The duties and responsibilities of Contractor under this paragraph are for the benefit of such utility owners and other Contractors to the extent that there are comparable provisions for the benefit of Contractor in said direct contracts between Owner and such utility owners and other contractors. 12.3 If any part of Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of any other contractor or utility owner (or Owner), Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to Project Manager in writing any delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Contractor's failure to report will constitute an acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration with Contractor's Work. 13. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. 13.1 To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner and its officers and employees from any and all liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, demands, judgments, actions, proceedings, losses or costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegals' fees, whether resulting from any claimed breach of this Agreement by Contractor or from personal injury, property damage, direct or consequential damages, or economic loss, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongful misconduct of Contractor or anyone employed or utilized by the Contractor in the performance of this Agreement. GC- CA -H -12 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 Exhibit B to the Agreement. Further, the Contractor shall at all times comply with all of the terms, conditions, requirements and obligations set forth under Exhibit B. 14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. 14.1 Contractor agrees to comply, at its own expense, with all federal, state and local laws, codes, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and requirements applicable to the Project, including but not limited to those dealing with taxation, worker's compensation, equal employment and safety (including, but not limited to, the Trench Safety Act, Chapter 553, Florida Statutes). If Contractor observes that the Contract Documents are at variance therewith, it shall promptly notify Project Manager in writing. To the extent any law, rule, regulation, code, statute, or ordinance requires the inclusion of certain terms in this Agreement in order for this Agreement to be enforceable, such terms shall be deemed included in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that in the event of a change in any applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations subsequent to the date this Agreement was executed that increases the Contractor's time or cost of performance of the Work, Contractor is entitled to a Change Order for such increases, except to the extent Contractor knew or should have known of such changes prior to the date of this Agreement. 14.2 By executing and entering into this agreement, the Contractor is formally acknowledging without exception or stipulation that it is fully responsible for complying with the provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 as located at 8 U.S.C. 1324, et sea. and regulations relating thereto, as either may be amended. Failure by the Contractor to comply with the laws referenced herein shall constitute a breach of this agreement and the County shall have the discretion to unilaterally terminate this agreement immediately. 15. CLEANUP AND PROTECTIONS. 15.1 Contractor agrees to keep the Project site clean at all times of debris, rubbish and waste materials arising out of the Work. At the completion of the Work, Contractor shall remove all debris, rubbish and waste materials from and about the Project site, as GC- CA -H -13 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.

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 GC- CA -H -14 of bankruptcy; or (7) allows any final judgment to stand against it unsatisfied for more than ten (10) days; or (8) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (9) fails to obey any applicable codes, laws, ordinances, rules or regulations with respect to the Work; or (10) materially breaches any other provision of the Contract Documents. 18.2 Owner shall notify Contractor in writing of Contractor's default(s). If Owner determines that Contractor has not remedied and cured the default(s) within seven (7) calendar days following receipt by Contractor of said written notice or such longer period of time as may be consented to by Owner in writing and in its sole discretion, then Owner, at its option, without releasing or waiving its rights and remedies against the Contractor's sureties and without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may be entitled to hereunder or by law, may terminate Contractor's right to proceed under the Agreement, in whole or in part, and take possession of all or any portion of the Work and any materials, tools, equipment, and appliances of Contractor, take assignments of any of Contractor's subcontracts and purchase orders, and complete all or any portion of Contractor's Work by whatever means, method or agency which Owner, in its sole discretion, may choose. 18.3 If Owner deems any of the foregoing remedies necessary, Contractor agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any further payments hereunder until after the Project is completed. All moneys expended and all of the costs, losses, damages and extra expenses, including all management, administrative and other overhead and other direct and indirect expenses (including Design Professional and attorneys' fees) or damages incurred by Owner incident to such completion, shall be deducted from the Contract Amount, and if such expenditures exceed the unpaid balance of the Contract Amount, Contractor agrees to pay promptly to Owner on demand the full amount of such excess, including costs of collection, attorneys' fees (including appeals) and interest thereon at the maximum legal rate of interest until paid. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Amount exceeds all such costs, expenditures and damages incurred by the Owner to complete the Work, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. The amount to be paid to the Contractor or Owner, as the case may be, shall be approved by the Project Manager, upon application, and this obligation for payment shall survive termination of the Agreement. 18.4 The liability of Contractor hereunder shall extend to and include the full amount of any and all sums paid, expenses and losses incurred, damages sustained, and obligations assumed by Owner in good faith under the belief that such payments or assumptions were necessary or required, in completing the Work and providing labor, materials, equipment, supplies, and other items therefore 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 GC- CA -H -15 Contractor's remedies against Owner shall be the same as and limited to those afforded Contractor under Section 19 below. 18.6 In the event (i) Owner fails to make any undisputed payment to Contractor within thirty (30) days after such payment is due or Owner otherwise persistently fails to fulfill some material obligation owed by Owner to Contractor under this Agreement, and (ii) Owner has failed to cure such default within fourteen (14) days of receiving written notice of same from Contractor, then Contractor may stop its performance under this Agreement until such default is cured, after giving Owner a second fourteen (14) days written notice of Contractor's intention to stop performance under the Agreement. If the Work is so stopped for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor or its Subcontractors or their agents or employees or any other persons performing portions of the Work under contract with the Contractor or any Subcontractor, the Contractor may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Owner of Contractor's intent to terminate this Agreement. If Owner does not cure its default within fourteen (14) days after receipt of Contractor's written notice, Contractor may, upon fourteen (14) additional days' written notice to the Owner, terminate the Agreement and recover from the Owner payment for Work performed through the termination date, but in no event shall Contractor be entitled to payment for Work not performed or any other damages from Owner. 19. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE AND RIGHT OF SUSPENSION. 19.1 Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without cause upon seven (7) calendar days written notice to Contractor. In the event of such termination for convenience, Contractor's recovery against Owner shall be limited to that portion of the Contract Amount earned through the date of termination, together with any retainage withheld and reasonable termination expenses incurred, but Contractor shall not be entitled to any other or further recovery against Owner, including, but not limited to, damages or any anticipated profit on portions of the Work not performed. 19.2 Owner shall have the right to suspend all or any portions of the Work upon giving Contractor not less than two (2) calendar days' prior written notice of such suspension. If all or any portion of the Work is so suspended, Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to seek an extension of time to its schedule in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Contract Documents. In no event shall the Contractor be entitled to any additional compensation or damages. Provided, however, if the ordered suspension exceeds six (6) months, the Contractor shall have the right to terminate the Agreement with respect to that portion of the Work which is subject to the ordered suspension. 20. COMPLETION. 20.1 When the entire Work (or any portion thereof designated in writing by Owner) is ready for its intended use, Contractor shall notify Project Manager in writing that the entire Work (or such designated portion) is substantially complete. Within a reasonable time thereafter, Owner, Contractor and Design Professional shall make an inspection of GC- CA -H -16 the Work (or designated portion thereof) to determine the status of completion. If Owner, after conferring with the Design Professional, does not consider the Work (or designated portion) substantially complete, Project Manager shall notify Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefore. If Owner, after conferring with the Design Professional, considers the Work (or designated portion) substantially complete, Project Manager shall prepare and deliver to Contractor a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion for the entire Work (or designated portion thereof) and include a tentative punch -list of items to be completed or corrected by Contractor before final payment. Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor from the Work and Project site (or designated portion thereof) after the date of Substantial Completion, but Owner shall allow Contractor reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative punch -list. 20.2 Upon receipt of written certification by Contractor that the Work is completed in accordance with the Contract Documents and is ready for final inspection and acceptance, Project Manager and Design Professional will make such inspection and, if they find the Work acceptable and fully performed under the Contract Documents shall promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment, recommending that, on the basis of their observations and inspections, and the Contractor's certification that the Work has been completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, that the entire balance found to be due Contractor is due and payable. Neither the final payment nor the retainage shall become due and payable until Contractor submits: (1) Receipt of Contractor's Final Application for Payment. (2) The Release and Affidavit in the form attached as Exhibit C. (3) Consent of surety to final payment. (4) Receipt of the final payment check list. (5) If required by Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of all obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, arising out of the Contract Documents, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by Owner. Owner reserves the right to inspect the Work and make an independent determination as to the Work's acceptability, even though the Design Professional may have issued its recommendations. Unless and until the Owner is completely satisfied, neither the final payment nor the retainage shall become due and payable. 21. WARRANTY. 21.1 Contractor shall obtain and assign to Owner all express warranties given to Contractor or any subcontractors by any subcontractor or materialmen supplying materials, equipment or fixtures to be incorporated into the Project. Contractor warrants to Owner that any materials and equipment furnished under the Contract Documents shall be new unless otherwise specified, and that all Work shall be of good quality, free from all defects and in conformance with the Contract Documents. Contractor further warrants to Owner that all materials and equipment furnished under the Contract Documents shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned and GC- CA -H -17 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 GC- CA -H -18 directions from Project Manager, such Work must, if requested by Project Manager, be uncovered for Project Manager's observation and be replaced at Contractor's sole expense. 22.5 The Owner shall charge to Contractor and may deduct from any payments due Contractor all engineering and inspection expenses incurred by Owner in connection with any overtime work. Such overtime work consisting of any work during the construction period beyond the regular eight (8) hour day and for any work performed on Saturday, Sunday or holidays. 22.6 Neither observations nor other actions by the Project Manager or Design Professional nor inspections, tests or approvals by others shall relieve Contractor from Contractor's obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 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 GC- CA -H -19 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 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. SUPERVISION AND SUPERINTENDENTS. 24.1 Contractor shall plan, organize, supervise, schedule, monitor, direct and control the Work competently and efficiently, devoting such attention thereto and applying such skills and expertise as may be necessary to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Contractor shall keep on the Work at GC- CA -H -20 all times during its progress a competent resident superintendent, who shall be subject to Owner's approval and not be replaced without prior written notice to Project Manager except under extraordinary circumstances. The superintendent shall be employed by the Contractor and be the Contractor's representative at the Project site and shall have authority to act on behalf of Contractor. All communications given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor. Owner shall have the right to direct Contractor to remove and replace its Project superintendent, with or without cause. Attached to the Agreement as Exhibit N is a list identifying Contractor's Project Superintendent and all of Contractor's key personnel who are assigned to the Project; such identified personnel shall not be removed without Owner's prior written approval, and if so removed must be immediately replaced with a person acceptable to Owner. 24.2 Contractor shall have a competent superintendent on the project at all times whenever contractor's work crews, or work crews of other parties authorized by the Project Manager are engaged in any activity whatsoever associated with the Project. Should the Contractor fail to comply with the above condition, the Project Manager shall, at his discretion, deduct from the Contractor's monthly pay estimate, sufficient moneys to account for the Owner's loss of adequate project supervision, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages, separate from the liquidated damages described in Section 5.B, for services not rendered. 25. PROTECTION OF WORK. 25.1 Contractor shall fully protect the Work from loss or damage and shall bear the cost of any such loss or damage until final payment has been made. If Contractor or any one for whom Contractor is legally liable for is responsible for any loss or damage to the Work, or other work or materials of Owner or Owner's separate contractors, Contractor shall be charged with the same, and any moneys necessary to replace such loss or damage shall be deducted from any amounts due Contractor. 25.2 Contractor shall not load nor permit any part of any structure to be loaded in any manner that will endanger the structure, nor shall Contractor subject any part of the Work or adjacent property to stresses or pressures that will endanger it. 25.3 Contractor shall not disturb any benchmark established by the Owner or Design Professional with respect to the Project. If Contractor, or its subcontractors, agents or anyone for whom Contractor is legally liable, disturbs the Owner or Design Professional's benchmarks, Contractor shall immediately notify Project Manager and Design Professional.

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.

On contracts of $150,000 or less, the Department may waive the requirement for all or a portion of a surety bond if it determines that the project is of a non - critical nature and nonperformance will not endanger the public health, safety, or property. The Department may require alternate means of security it if waives the requirement for a surety bond. Continued Acceptability of Surety: Provide a surety bond that remains acceptable to the Department throughout the life of the Contract. In the event that the surety executing the bond, although acceptable to the Department at the time of execution of the Contract, subsequently becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or becomes unreliable or otherwise unsatisfactory then the Department any require that the Contractor immediately replace the surety bond with a similar bond drawn on a surety company that is reliable and acceptable to the Department.

Buy America and Foreign Contractor and Supplier Restriction (Florida Department of Transportation Guidelines) Source of Supply Steel (Federal -Aid Contracts Only): For Federal -aid Contracts, only use steel and iron produced in the Untied States, in accordance with the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended. Ensure that all manufacturing processes for this material occur in the United States. As used in this specification, a GC- CA -1 -5 manufacturing process is any process that modifies the chemical content, physical shape or size, or final finish of a product beginning with the initial melding and mixing and continuing through the bending and coasting stages. A manufactured steel or iron product is complete only when all grinding, drilling, welding, finishing and coating have been completed. If a domestic product is taken outside the Untied States for any process, it becomes foreign source material. When using steel and iron as a component of any manufactured product incorporated into the project (e.g., concrete pipe, pres- stressed beams, corrugated steel pipe, etc.), these same provisions apply, except that the manufacturer may use minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron when the cost of such foreign materials does not exceed 0.1 % of the total Contract amount or $2500, which ever is greater. These requirements are applicable to all steel and iron materials incorporated into the finished work, but are not applicable to steel and iron items that the Contractor uses but does not incorporated into the finished work. Provide a certification from the producer of steel or iron, or any product containing steel or iron as a component, stating that all steel or iron furnished or incorporated into the furnished product was manufactured in die Untied States in accordance with the requirements of this specification and the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended. Such certification shall also include (1) a statement that the product entirely within the United States, or (2) a statement that the product was produced within the United States except for minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron valued at $(actual value). Furnish each such certification to the Engineer prior to incorporating the material into the project. When FHWA allows the use of foreign steel on a project, furnish invoices to document the cost of such material, and obtain the Engineer's written approval prior to incorporating the material into the project. 5.

Such certification shall also include (1) a statement that the product was produced entirely within the United States, or (2) a statement that the product was produced within the United States except for minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron valued at $(actual value). Furnish each certification to the Engineer prior to incorporating the material into the project. When FHWA allows the use of foreign steel on a project, furnish invoices to document the cost of such material, and obtain the Engineer's written approval prior to incorporating the material into the project. 13. Incentive /Disincentive Clauses (Collier County Policy) The County desires to expedite construction on this Contract to minimize the inconvenience to the traveling public and to reduce the time of construction. In order to achieve this, an incentive - disincentive provision is established for the Contract. The total "incentive payment" or disincentive deduction shall not exceed $ The County will pay the Contractor an "incentive payment" in the amount of $ for each calendar day the actual completion date precedes the Original Contract Time and subject to the conditions precedent set forth below. The term "Original Contract Time" as used in this Article will mean the number of calendar days established for completion of the work in the Contract on the date the Contract was executed. The term ,.calendar day" as used in this Article will mean every day shown on the calendar. Calendar days will be consecutively counted from commencement of Contract Time regardless of weather, weekends, holidays, suspensions of Contractor's operations, delays or other events as described herein. For purposes of the calculation and the determination of entitlement to the "incentive payment" stated above, the Original Contract Time will not be adjusted for any reason, cause or circumstance whatsoever, regardless of fault, save and except in the instance of a catastrophic event (i.e., hurricane or a declared state of emergency). The parties anticipate that delays may be caused by or arise from any number of events during the course of the Contract, including, but not limited to, work performed, work deleted, change orders, supplemental agreements, delays, disruptions, differing site conditions, utility conflicts, design changes or defects, time extensions, extra work, right of way issues, permitting issues, actions of suppliers, subcontractors or other contractors, actions by third parties, shop drawing approval process delays, expansion of the physical limits of the project to make it functional, weather, weekends, holidays, suspensions of Contractor's operations, or other such events, forces or factors sometimes experienced in highway construction work. Such delays or events and their potential impacts on performance by the Contractor are specifically contemplated and acknowledged by the parties in entering into this Contract, and shall not extend the Original Contract Time for purposes of calculation of the "incentive payment" set forth above. Further, any and all costs or impacts whatsoever incurred by the Contractor in accelerating the Contractor's work to overcome or absorb such delays or events in an effort to complete the Contract prior to expiration of the Original Contract Time, GC- CA -1 -27 regardless of whether the Contractor successfully does so or not, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor in every instance. In the event of a catastrophic event (i.e., hurricane or a declared state of emergency) directly and substantially affecting the Contractor's operations on the Contract, the Contractor and the County shall agree as to the number of calendar days to extend the Original Contract Time so that such extended Original Contract Time will be used in calculation of the "incentive payment ". In the event the Contractor and County are unable to agree to the number of Calendar Days to extend the Original Contract Time, the County will unilaterally determine the number of calendar days to extend the Original Contract Time reasonably necessary and due solely to such catastrophic event and the Contractor shall have no right whatsoever to contest such determination, save and except that the Contractor establishes that the number of calendar days determined by the County were arbitrary or without any reasonable basis. However, notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, upon the Contractor's written request being made directly to the Project Manager, with copies provided to both the Resident Construction Engineer and the District Construction Engineer, the County reserves unto the Project Manager, in his sole and absolute discretion, according to the parameters set forth below, the authority to make a determination to either fully enforce the above provisions with no modification, modify the "Original Contract Time" by moving it, or both modify the "Original Contract Time" by moving it and also modify the "incentive amount" by reducing it. No modification of this "Incentive- Disincentive" provision will be considered by the Project Manager for any impacts, whatsoever, beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor, for which the effect results in a time extension of less than 15% of the time remaining in the period from the first day of occurrence of such impact to the expiration of the "Original Contract Time ". Furthermore, as to any such impact, for which the effect results in a time extension of 15% or more of the time remaining in the period from the first day of occurrence of such impact to the expiration of the "Original Contract Time," no modification of this "Incentive- Disincentive" provision will be considered by the Project Manager unless the Contractor clearly establishes that it has continuously from the beginning of the project aggressively, efficiently and effectively pursued the achievement of the "incentive payment ". This would include the utilization of any and all reasonably available means and methods to overcome all impacts and accelerate the work so as to still achieve the "incentive payment ", and that, but for this impact, the Contractor would have otherwise earned the "incentive payment" provided in the original Contract. Also, to the extent the request is not submitted in writing to the Project Manager within not less than twenty (20) calendar days prior to the expiration of the "Original Contract Time," the Contractor must also continue to aggressively, efficiently, and effectively pursue the completion of the "Incentive- Disincentive" work. This would include the utilization of any and all reasonably available means and methods to overcome all impacts and accelerate the work, until a determination is made by the Project Manager or twenty (20) calendar days has expired since such written request was received by the Project Manager. There shall be no right of any kind on behalf of GC- CA -1 -28 the Contractor to challenge or otherwise seek review or appeal in any forum, of any determination made by the Project Manager under this provision. The Contractor shall have no rights under the Contract to make any claim arising out of this incentive payment provision except as is expressly set forth in this Article. As conditions precedent to the Contractor's entitlement to any "incentive payment' the Contractor must: (1) Deliver in -hand to the County any and all claims, in full accordance with Exhibit "H" — General Terms and Conditions, Section 11 — Claims and Disputes (2) Actually complete the Contract and obtain final acceptance by the County prior to expiration of the Original Contract Time. (3) No later than 60 days after final acceptance by the County, the Contractor must either (a) elect to be paid the "incentive payment' pursuant to (4) below, or (b) notify the County in writing that the Contractor is electing to be paid the "incentive payment' and is reserving one or more outstanding claims for final and fully binding determination in accordance with Exhibit "H" — General Terms and Conditions, Section 11 — Claims and Disputes. (4) The Contractor shall notify the County in writing, within 60 days after final acceptance of the Contract by the County, that the Contractor elects to be paid the "incentive payment" which the Contractor is eligible to be paid based on the actual final acceptance date, and such written notice shall constitute a full and complete waiver, release and acknowledgment of satisfaction by the Contractor of any and all claims, causes of action, issues, demands, disputes, matters or controversies, of any nature or kind whatsoever, known or unknown, against the County, its employees, officers, agents, representatives, consultants, and their respective employees, officers and representatives, the Contractor has or may have, including, but not limited to, work performed, work deleted, change orders, supplemental agreements, delays, disruptions, differing site conditions, utility conflicts, design changes or defects, time extensions, extra work, right of way issues, permitting issues, actions of suppliers or subcontractors or other contractors, actions by third parties, shop drawing approval process delays, expansion of the physical limits of the project to make it functional, weather, weekends, holidays, suspensions of the Contractor's operations, extended or unabsorbed home office or job site overhead, lump sum maintenance of traffic adjustments, lost profits, prime mark -up on subcontractor work, acceleration costs, any and all direct and indirect costs, any other adverse impacts, events, conditions, circumstances or potential damages, on or pertaining to, or as to or arising out of the Contract. This waiver, release and acknowledgment of satisfaction shall be all- inclusive and absolute, save and except any routine County final estimating quantity adjustments. Should the Contractor fail to actually complete the Contract and obtain final acceptance by the County prior to expiration of the Original Contract Time, or should the Contractor, having timely completed the Contract and obtained final acceptance by the County prior GC- CA -1 -29 to expiration of the Original Contract Time but having failed to timely request the "incentive payment" for any reason, and including but not limited to the Contractor choosing not to either reserve one or more outstanding claims in accordance with Exhibit "H" — General Terms and Conditions, Section 11 — Claims and Disputes for final and fully binding determination as set forth in (3)(b) above, or to fully waive, release and acknowledge satisfaction as set forth in (4) above, the Contractor shall have no right to any payment whatsoever under this Article. Notwithstanding the Contractor's election or non - election of the "incentive payment" under this provision, the disincentive provision applies to all circumstances where the work in the Contract is not finally accepted by the Allowable Contract Time. Completion and acceptance of the Contract for purposes of this Article shall be in accordance with Exhibit "H" — General Terms and Conditions, Section 20 — Completion. Should the Contractor fail to complete the Contract on or before expiration of the Allowable Contract Time, as adjusted in accordance with Exhibit "H" — General Terms and Conditions, Section 9 — Contract Time and Time Extensions, the County shall deduct liquidated damages for each calendar day completion exceeds the Allowable Contract Time, from the monies otherwise due the Contractor. The term "Allowable Contract Time" as used in this Article shall mean the Original Contract Time plus adjustments pursuant Exhibit "H" — General Terms and Conditions, Section 9 — Contract Time and Time Extensions. This deduction shall be the disincentive for the Contractor's failing to timely complete the Contract. Liquidated damages remain in effect and is applicable in accordance with Section 5 of the Construction Agreement. In the event the Contractor elects to exercise this "incentive payment" provision, should this provision conflict with any other provision of the Contract, the Contract shall be interpreted in accordance with this provision. 14.

Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the DOL, or the contractor's employees or their representatives. 6. Selection of Labor: During the performance of this contract, the contractor shall not: a. discriminate against labor from any other State, possession, or territory of the United States (except for employment preference for Appalachian contracts, when applicable, as specified in Attachment A), or b. employ convict labor for any purpose within the limits of the project unless it is labor performed by convicts who are on parole, supervised release, or probation. II. NONDISCRIMINATION (Applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.) GC- CA -1 -31 1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal employment opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR 1630 and 41 CFR 60) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140 shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The Equal Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 60 -4.3 and the provisions of the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO: The contractor will work with the State highway agency (SHA) and the Federal Government in carrying out EEO obligations and in their review of his /her activities under the contract. a. The contractor will accept as his operating policy the following statement: "it is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, color, national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, preapprenticeship, and /or on- the -job training." 2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the SHA contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active contractor program of EEO and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so. 3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action, or who are substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum: Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer. a. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor. GC- CA -1 -32 b. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minority group employees. C. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees. d. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate means. 4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minority groups in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minority group applicants. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration. a. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system permits the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. (The DOL has held that where implementation of such agreements have the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Executive Order 11246, as amended.) b. The contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority group applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring minority group applicants will be discussed with employees. 5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability. The following procedures shall be followed: The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel. a. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices. b. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons. GC- CA -1 -33 C. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the contractor in connection with his obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of his avenues of appeal. 6. Training and Promotion: The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minority group and women employees, and applicants for employment. a. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs, i.e., apprenticeship, and on- the -job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance. Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training. In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. b. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance requirements for each. G. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of minority group and women employees and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion. 7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the contractor will use his /her best efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minority groups and women within the unions, and to effect referrals by such unions of minority and female employees. Actions by the contractor either directly or through a contractor's association acting as agent will include the procedures set forth below: The contractor will use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minority group employees and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment. a. The contractor will use best efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability. b. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the SHA and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information. C. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of minority and women referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through independent GC- CA -1 -34 recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and /or qualifiable minority group persons and women. (The DOL has held that it shall be no excuse that the union with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority employees.) In the event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the SHA. 8. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and suppliers of his /her EEO obligations under this contract. a. Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR 23, shall have equal opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts which the contractor enters into pursuant to this contract. The contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and to utilize DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and female representation among their employees. Contractors shall obtain lists of DBE construction firms from SHA personnel. b. The contractor will use his best efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations. 9. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following completion of the contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the SHA and the FHWA. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following 1. The number of minority and non - minority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project; 2. The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when applicable, to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women; 3. The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minority and female employees; and 4. The progress and efforts being made in securing the services of DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority and female representation among their employees. The contractors will submit an annual report to the SHA each July for the duration of the project, indicating the number of minority, women, and non - minority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required by the GC- CA -1 -35 contract work. This information is to be reported on Form FHWA -1391. If on- the -job training is being required by special provision, the contractor will be required to collect and report training data. III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES (Applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.) a. By submission of this bid, the execution of this contract or subcontract, or the consummation of this material supply agreement or purchase order, as appropriate, the bidder, Federal -aid construction contractor, subcontractor, material supplier, or vendor, as appropriate, certifies that the firm does not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its establishments, and that the firm does not permit its employees to perform their services at any location, under its control, where segregated facilities are maintained. The firm agrees that a breach of this certification is a violation of the EEO provisions of this contract. The firm further certifies that no employee will be denied access to adequate facilities on the basis of sex or disability. b. As used in this certification, the term "segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms, work areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants and other eating areas, timeclocks, locker rooms, and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive, or are, in fact, segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age or disability, because of habit, local custom, or otherwise. The only exception will be for the disabled when the demands for accessibility override (e.g. disabled parking). C. The contractor agrees that it has obtained or will obtain identical certification from proposed subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of subcontracts or consummation of material supply agreements of $10,000 or more and that it will retain such certifications in its files. IV. PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE (Applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcontracts, except for projects located on roadways classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt.) General: All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations (29 CFR 3) issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the full amounts of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment. The payment shall be computed at wage rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor (hereinafter "the wage determination ") which is attached GC- CA -1 -36 hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor or its subcontractors and such laborers and mechanics. The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under paragraph 2 of this Section IV and the DOL poster (WH -1321) or Form FHWA -1495) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. For the purpose of this Section, contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of Section IV, paragraph 3b, hereof. Also, for the purpose of this Section, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Section IV. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein, provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. a. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon Act and related acts contained in 29 CFR 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract. 1. Classification: The SHA contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics employed under the contract, which is not listed in the wage determination, shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. a. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification, wage rate and fringe benefits only when the following criteria have been met: 1. the work to be performed by the additional classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; 2. the additional classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; 3. the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination; and 4. with respect to helpers, when such a classification prevails in the area in which the work is performed. b. If the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers and mechanics (if known) to be employed in the additional classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the DOL, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Wage and Hour Administrator, or an GC- CA -1 -37 authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary. C. In the event the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the additional classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Wage and Hour Administrator for determination. Said Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary d. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraph 2c or 2d of this Section IV shall be paid to all workers performing work in the additional classification from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. 2. Payment of Fringe Benefits: Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly case equivalent thereof. a. If the contractor or subcontractor, as appropriate, does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, he /she may consider as a part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. 3. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOL) and Helpers: Apprentices: 1. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the DOL, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his /her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State apprenticeship agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. 2. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyman -level employees on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the GC- CA -1 -38 contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any employee listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate listed in the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor or subcontractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman -level hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. 3. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman -level hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator for the Wage and Hour Division determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. 4. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the comparable work performed by regular employees until an acceptable program is approved. a. Trainees: 1. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the DOL, Employment and Training Administration. 2. The ratio of trainees to journeyman -level employees on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. 3.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)). In the listing above, the "SU" designation means that rates listed under the identifier do not reflect collectively bargained wage and fringe benefit rates. Other designations indicate unions whose rates have been determined to be prevailing. WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: an existing published wage determination • survey underlying a wage determination • Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on • wage determination matter GC- CA -1 -55 " a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis -Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue. 3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to: Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

(i) During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, are encountered at the site, the party discovering such conditions shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed. (ii) Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. The engineer will notify the contractor of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted. (iii) No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless the contractor has provided the required written notice. (iv) No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on unchanged work. Suspensions of work ordered by the engineer. (i) If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the contractor believes that additional compensation and /or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment. (ii) Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the engineer agrees that the cost and /or time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The contractor will be notified of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted. (iii) No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed. GC- CA -1 -58 (iv) No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract. Significant changes in the character of work. (i) The engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered. (ii) If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable. (iii) If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the contract. (iv) The term "significant change" shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances: (A) When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or (B) When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work performed. 31.
