Under circumstances determined necessary by CRA, Change Orders may be issued unilaterally by CRA. The CRA reserves the right to order changes which may result in additions to or reductions from the amount, type or value of the Work shown in the Contract and which are within the general scope of the Contract Documents. Any such changes will be known as Extra Work. No Extra Work shall be performed except pursuant to written orders of the Project Manager or Consultant expressly and unmistakably indicating his/her intention to treat the Work described therein as Extra Work. In the absence of such an order, the Project Manager or Consultant may direct, order or require the Contractor to perform any Work including that which the Contractor deems to be Extra Work. The Contractor shall nevertheless comply and shall promptly and in no event after, begin the performance thereof or incur cost attributable thereto and give written notice to the Project Manager stating why he deems such Work (hereinafter "Disputed Work") to be Extra Work. Said notice is for the purposes of (1) affording an opportunity to the Project Manager to cancel such order, direction or requirements promptly; (2) affording an opportunity to the Project Manager to keep an accurate record of materials, labor and other items involved; and (3) affording an opportunity to the CRA to take such action as it may deem advisable in light of such disputed Work. 56. Change Order Procedure Extra Work shall result in an equitable adjustment (increase or decrease) to the Contract representing the reasonable cost or the reasonable financial savings related to the change in Work. Extra Work may also result in an equitable adjustment in the Contract schedule for performance for both the Extra Work and any other Work affected by the Extra Work. The CRA shall initiate the Extra Work procedure by a notice to Contractor outlining the proposed Extra Work. Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed with the Extra Work, the Contractor is required to immediately start the Extra Work. The Contractor is required to obtain permission for an extension to start the Extra Work if it is beyond the Contractor's ability to start within the allotted timeframe. The Contractor is required to provide the Project Manager with a detailed Change Proposal Request which shall include requested revisions to the Contract, including but not limited to adjustments in this Contract Price and Contract Time. The Contractor is required to provide sufficient data in support of the cost proposal demonstrating its reasonableness. In furtherance of this obligation, the CRA may require that the Contractor submit any or all of the following: a cost breakdown of material costs, labor costs, labor rates by trade, and Work classification and overhead rates in support of Contractor's Change Proposal Request. The Contractor's Change Proposal Request must include any schedule revisions and an explanation of the cost and schedule impact of the Extra Work on the Project(s). If the Contractor fails to notify the Project Manager or Consultant of the schedule changes associated with the Extra Work, it will be deemed to be an acknowledgment by Contractor 44 Fire Station No. 2 Phase 2B Interior Rehabilitation and Parking Lot ITB No.: 11-009 that the proposed Extra Work will not have any scheduling consequences. The Contractor agrees the Change Proposal Request will in no event include a combined profit and overhead rate in excess of ten (10%) percent of the direct labor and material costs, unless the Project Manager determines that the complexity and risk of the Extra Work is such that an additional factor is appropriate. The Change Proposal Request may be accepted or modified by negotiations between the Contractor and the CRA. If an agreement on the Extra Work is reached, both parties shall execute the Extra Work order in writing via a Change Order. The execution by the Contractor of the Change Order shall serve as a release of the CRA from all claims and liability to the Contractor relating to, or in connection with, the Extra Work, including any impact, and any prior acts, neglect or default of the CRA relating to the Extra Work. Upon execution of a change order that affects the Contract Time the Contractor shall, within five (5) business days submit a revised Project schedule reflecting the changes against the baseline schedule. 57.

Removal of Unsatisfactory Personnel The CRA may make written request to the Contractor for the prompt removal and replacement of any personnel employed or retained by the Contractor, or any or Sub - Contractor engaged by the Contractor to provide and perform services or Work pursuant to the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall respond to the CRA within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of such request with either the removal and replacement of such personnel or written justification as to why that may not occur. The CRA shall make the final determination as to the removal of unsatisfactory personnel from Work assigned by CRA. The Contractor agrees that the removal of any of its employees does not require the termination or demotion of employee(s). 63. Substantial Completion, Punch List, & Final Completion The Work shall be substantially complete when the Project Manager, in the reasonable exercise of his/her discretion determines that the Work is complete and there are no material and/or substantial variations from the Contract Documents and the Work is fit for its intended purpose. Upon Substantial Completion, the Project Manager and the Contractor shall sign the Substantial Completion Inspection Form. The signing of this form shall not relieve the Contractor from its obligation to complete the Project. When the Contractor believes that the Work is substantially complete, the Contractor shall request in writing that the Project Manager or Consultant inspect the Work to determine if Substantial Completion has been achieved. No request for Substantial Completion inspection is to be submitted until the Contractor has obtained a Certificate(s) of Occupancy, Certificate of Completion or Completion or a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or any other approvals from agencies having jurisdiction over the Work. The Project Manager or Consultant shall schedule the date and time for any inspection and notify the Contractor and any other parties deemed necessary. During this inspection, the Project Substantial Completion Inspection Form will be completed as necessary. Any remaining Construction Work shall be identified on this form and shall be known as Punch List Work. The Punch List shall be signed by the Project Manager and/or Consultant, and the Contractor confirming that the Punch List contains the item(s) necessary to complete the Work. The failure or refusal of the Contractor to sign the Project Substantial Completion Inspection Form or Punch List shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with the findings of the Project Substantial Completion Inspection and completing the Project to the satisfaction of the CRA 50 Fire Station No. 2 Phase 2B Interior Rehabilitation and Parking Lot ITB No.: 11-009 Where the Punch List is limited to minor omissions and defects, the Project Manager shall indicate that the Work is substantially complete subject to completion of the Punch List. Where the Project Manager or Consultant determines, on the appropriate form that the Work is not substantially complete, the Project Manager or Consultant shall provide a list of all open items necessary to achieve Substantial Completion. Upon completion of such Work, the Contractor shall request another Substantial Completion inspection. The Project Manager or Consultant, and the Contractor shall agree on the time reasonably required to complete all remaining Work included in the Punch List. Upon the receipt of all documentation, resolution of any outstanding issues and issuance of final payment, the Project Manager or Consultant shall notify the Contractor in writing of the closeout of the Project. The CRA will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion. Once substantial completion is achieved the CRA shall be responsible for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Project site, and insurance; and shall list all Work yet to be completed to satisfy the requirements of the Contract Documents for Final Completion. The failure to include any items of corrective Work on such list does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Final Acceptance completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. 64. Acceptance and Final Payment Upon receipt of written notice from Contractor that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance, Project Manager and/or Consultant shall, within ten (10) calendar days, make an inspection thereof. If Project Manager and/or Consultant find the Work acceptable, the requisite documents have been submitted and the requirements of the Contract Documents fully satisfied, and all conditions of the permits and regulatory agencies have been met, a Final Certificate for Payment shall be issued by Project Manager, stating that the requirements of the Contract Documents have been performed and the Work is ready for acceptance under the terms and conditions thereof. Before issuance of the Final Certificate for Payment, Contractor shall deliver to the Project Manager or Consultant a final release of all liens arising out of the Contract Documents, receipts in full in lieu thereof; an affidavit certifying that all suppliers and subcontractors have been paid in full and that all other indebtedness connected with the Work has been paid, and a consent of the surety to final payment; the final corrected as -built drawings; operations and maintenance data, and the final bill of materials, if required, and payment application. Contractor shall deliver the written Contractor's and all Manufacturer's warranties prior to issuance of the Final Certificate for Payment. If, after the Work has been substantially completed, full completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of Contractor, and Project Manager or Consultant so certifies, CRA shall, upon such certification of Consultant, and without terminating the Contract Documents, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by Contractor, except those previously made in strict accordance with the provisions of the Contract and identified by Contractor as unsettled at the time of the application for final payment. 51 Fire Station No. 2 Phase 2B Interior Rehabilitation and Parking Lot iTB No.: 11-009 65. NPDES Requirements Contractor shall comply with the State of Florida rules and regulations for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) including but not limited to all permitting, Notices of Intent, and the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). All costs for NPDES and SWPPP shall be included in the Bid prices. For further information on compliance requirements for NPDES and SWPPP contact the City of Miami Public Works Department at (305) 416-1200 or visit the State of Florida website at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/stormwater/nodes/. Contractor is responsible for obtaining, completing and paying for any required NPDES application or permits that may be required. 66. Force Maieure Should any failure to perform on the part of Contractor be due to a condition of force majeure as that term is interpreted under Florida law, and then the CRA may allow an extension of time reasonably commensurate with the cause of such failure to perform or cure. If the Contractor is delayed in performing any obligation under the Contract Documents due to a force majeure condition, the Contractor shall request a time extension from the CRA within two (2) working days of said force majeure occurrence. Any time extension shall be subject to mutual agreement and shall not be cause for any claim by the Contractor for extra compensation unless additional services are required. Do Not Include inclement weather except as permitted by Florida law and may not include the acts or omissions of Sub -contractors. 67. Extension of Time Any reference in this section to the Contractor shall be deemed to include suppliers, and permitted Sub -Contractors, whether or not in privities of contract with the Contractor for the purpose of this article. If the Contractor is delayed at any time during the progress of the Work beyond the Contract Time and/or Notice to Proceed (NTP) by the neglect or failure of the CRA or by a Force Majeure, then the Contract Time set forth in the Contract shall be extended by the CRA subject to the following conditions: • The cause of the delay arises after issuance of the NTP and could not have been anticipated by the Contractor by reasonable investigation before proceeding with the Work; • The Contractor demonstrates that the completion of the Work will be actually and necessarily delayed; • The effect of such cause cannot be avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all reasonable precautions, efforts and measures whether before or after the occurrence of the cause of delay. Note: A delay meeting all the conditions of the above, shall be deemed an Excusable Delay. The CRA reserves the right to rescind or shorten any extension previously granted if subsequently, the Project Manager determines that any information provided by the Contractor in support of a request for an extension of time was erroneous; provided however, that such information or facts, if known, would have resulted in a denial of the request for an Excusable Delay. Notwithstanding the above, the Project Manager will not rescind or shorten any extension previously granted if the Contractor acted in reliance upon 52 Fire Station No. 2 Phase 2B Interior Rehabilitation and Parking Lot ITB No.: 11-009 the granting of such extension and such extension was based on information which, although later found to have been erroneous, was submitted in good faith by the Contractor. The request for an Excusable Delay shall be made within ten (10) calendar days after the time when the Contractor knows or should have known of any cause for which it may claim an extension of time and shall provide any actual or potential basis for an extension of time, identifying such causes and describing, as fully as practicable at that time, the nature and expected duration of the delay and its effect on the completion of that part of the Work identified in the request. The Project Manager may require the Contractor to furnish such additional information or documentation, as the Project Manager shalt reasonably deem necessary or helpful in considering the requested extension, The Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of time unless the Contractor affirmatively demonstrates that it is entitled to such extension. The Project Manager shalt endeavor to review and respond to the Contractor's request for Excusable Delays in a reasonable period of time; however, the Contractor shall be obligated to continue to perform the Work required regardless of whether the Project Manager has issued a decision or whether the Contractor agrees or disagrees with that decision. With regard to an injunction, strike or interference of public origin which may delay the Project, the Contractor shall promptly give the Project Manager a copy of the injunction or other orders and copies of the papers upon which the same shall have been granted. The CRA shall be afforded the right to intervene and become a party to any suit or proceeding in which any such injunction shall be obtained and move to dissolve the same or otherwise, as the CRA may deem proper. The permitting of the Contractor to proceed with the Work subsequent to the date specified in the Contract (as such date may have been extended by a change order), the making of any payment to the Contractor, the issuance of any Change Order, shall not waiver the CRA's rights under the Contract, including but not limited to the assessment of liquidated damages or declaring Contractor in default. 68. Notification of Claim Any claim for a change in the Contract Time or Contract Price shall be made by written notice by Contractor to the Project Manager and to Consultant within ten (10) business days of the commencement of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature and cause of the claim. Thereafter, within twenty (20) calendar days of the termination of the event giving rise to the claim, written notice of the extent of the claim with supporting information and documentation shall be provided unless the Project Manager or Consultant allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim and such notice shall be accompanied by Contractor's written notarized statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the Contractor has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for changes in the Contract Time or Contract Price shall be determined by the Project Manager or Consultant in accordance with Article 70, Contractor's Damages for Delay hereof, If CRA and Contractor cannot otherwise agree. It is expressly and specifically agreed that any and all claims for changes to the Contract time or Contract price shall be waived if not submitted in strict accordance with the requirements of this Article. The Contract time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost on critical Work items due to delays beyond the control of and through no fault or negligence of Contractor if a claim is made therefore as provided in this Article. Such delays shall include, but not be 53 Fire Station No. 2 Phase 28 Interior Rehabilitation and Parking Lot IT8 No.: 11-009 limited to, acts or neglect by any separate contractor employed by CRA, fires, floods, labor. disputes, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God. 69. Extension of Time not Cumulative In case the Contractor shall be delayed for any period of time by two or more of the causes mentioned In Article 71, Excusable Delays, the Contractor shall not be entitled to a separate extension for each one of the causes; only one (1) period of extension shall be granted for the delay. 70. Contractor's Damages for Delay No claim for damages or any claim, other than for an extension of time, shall be made or asserted against CRA by reason of any delays except as provided herein. Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract price or payment or compensation of any kind from CRA for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference or hindrance from any cause whatsoever, whether such delay, disruption, interference or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable; provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude recovery of damages by Contractor for actual delays due solely to fraud, bad faith or active interference on the part of CRA or its Consultant. Otherwise, Contractor shall be entitled only to extensions of the Contract Time for completion of the Work as the sole and exclusive remedy for such resulting delay, in accordance with and to the extent specifically provided above. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided for in the Contract Documents, the Contractor agrees to make no claim for damages for delay of any kind in the performance of the Contract Documents whether occasioned by any act or omission of the CRA or any of its representatives (whether it is an Excusable Delay or otherwise) and the Contractor agrees that any such claim shall be compensated solely by an extension of time to complete performance of the Work. In this regard, the Contractor alone hereby specifically assumes the risk of such delays, including without limitation: delays in processing or approving shop drawings, samples or other submittals or the failure to render determinations, approvals, replies, inspections or tests of the Work, in a timely manner. Contractor shall not receive monetary compensation for CRA delay. Time extensions may be authorized, in writing, by the CRA in certain situations. 71. Excusable Delay, Non-Compensable Excusable Delay is (1) caused by circumstances beyond the control of Contractor, its subcontractors, suppliers and vendors, and is also caused by circumstances beyond the control of the CRA or Consultant, or (ii) is caused jointly or concurrently by Contractor or its subcontractors, suppliers or vendors and by the CRA or Consultant. Then Contractor shall be entitled only to a time extension and no compensation for the delay. Contractor is entitled to a time extension of the Contract time for each day the Work is delayed due to Excusable Delay. Contractor shall document its claim for any time extension as provided in Article 68, Notification of Claim, hereof. Failure of Contractor to comply with Article 68, Notification of Claim hereof as to any particular event of delay shall be deemed conclusively to constitute a waiver, abandonment or relinquishment of any and all claims resulting from that particular event of delay. 72. Lines and Grades 54 Fire Station No. 2 Phase 2B Interior Rehabilitation and Parking Lot ITB No.: 11-009 The Contractor shall, at Its own expense, establish all working and construction lines and grades as required from the Project control points set by the CRA, and shall be solely responsible for the accuracy thereof. All work along the entire project shall be located and constructed using the roadway base/center line as reference. All elevations shown therein are in feet. 73. Defective Work Project Manager or Consultant shall have the authority to reject or disapprove Work which Project Manager or Consultant finds to be defective. If required by Project Manager or Consultant, Contractor shall promptly either correct all defective Work or remove such defective Work and replace it with non -defective Work. Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such removal or corrections including cost of testing laboratories and personnel. Should Contractor fail or refuse to remove or correct any defective Work or to make any necessary repairs in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents within the time indicated in writing by Project Manager or Consultant, CRA shall have the authority to cause the defective Work to be removed or corrected, or make such repairs as may be necessary at Contractor's expense. Any expense incurred by CRA in making such removals, corrections or repairs, shall be paid for out of any monies due or which may become due to Contractor, or may be charged against the Performance Bond. In the event of failure of Contractor to make all necessary repairs promptly and fully, City may declare Contractor in default. If, within one (1) year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, or by any specific provision of the Contract, any of the Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, Contractor, after receipt of written notice from CRA, shall promptly correct such defective or nonconforming Work within the time specified by CRA without cost to CRA, to do so. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to any other obligation which Contractor might have under the Contract Documents including but not limited to any claim regarding latent defects. Failure to reject any defective Work or material shall not in any way prevent later rejection when such defect is discovered, or obligate CRA to final acceptance. 74. Acceptance of Defective or Non -Conforming Work The CRA, in its sole discretion, may elect in writing to accept defective or non -conforming Work instead of requiring its removal and correction. In such instances, a Change Order will be issued to reflect an appropriate reduction in the Contract sum, or, if the amount is determined after final payment, any difference in the amount shall be paid to the CRA by the Contractor. 75. Uncovering Finished Work The Project Manager's, Inspector's and/or Consultant's right to make inspections shall include the right to order the Contractor to uncover or take down portions of finished Work. The Project Manager /or Consultant shall notify the Contractor in writing concerning all uncovered finished Work. Should the Work prove to be in accordance with the Contract Documents, the uncovering or taking down and the replacing and the restoration of the parts removed will be treated as Extra Work for the purpose of computing additional compensation and an extension of time. Should the Work examined prove unsatisfactory, 55 Fire Station No. 2 Phase 2B interior Rehabilitation and Parking Lot ITB No.: 11-009 such uncovering, taking down, replacing and restoration shall be at the expense of the Contractor. Such expenses shall also include repayment to the CRA for any and all expenses or costs incurred by it, including employee salaries or related cost, in connection with such uncovering, taking down, replacing and restoration at the Project site. 76. Correction of Work The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the Project Manager or Consultant as defective or as failing to conform to the Contract Documents, whether observed before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor shall bear all cost of correcting such rejected Work, including the cost of the CRA's additional services thereby made necessary. The Contractor further agrees that after being notified in writing by the Project Manager or Consultant of any Work riot in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents or any defects in the Work, the Contractor will commence and prosecute with due diligence all Work necessary to fulfill the terms of the Contract and to complete the Work within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the Project Manager or Consultant, and in the event of failure to so comply, the Contractor does hereby authorize the CRA to proceed to have such Work done at the Contractor's expense and that the Contractor will pay the cost thereof upon demand. The CRA shall be entitled to all costs, . including reasonable attorneys' fees, necessarily incurred upon the Contractor's refusal to pay the above costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in the event of an emergency constituting an immediate hazard to the health or safety of personnel, property, or licensees, the CRA may undertake, at the Contractor's expense, without prior notice, all Work necessary to correct such hazardous condition when it was caused by Work of the Contractor not being in accordance with the requirements of the Contract. If, within one (1) year after the date of final completion of the Project or within such longer period(s) of time as may be prescribed by law, by the Contract Documents, or by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the CRA to do so. The CRA shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition. All such defective or non -conforming Work shall be removed from the site if necessary and the Work shall be corrected to comply with the Contract Documents without cost to the CRA. 77.

Compliance with any specific hurricane warning or alert precautions will not constitute additional work. Suspension of the Work caused by a threatened or actual storm event, regardless of whether the CRA has directed such suspension, will entitle the Contractor to additional Contract time as non-compensable, excusable delay, and shall not give rise to a claim for compensabie delay, 81. Use of Completed Portions CRA shall have the right, at its sole option, to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the Project(s). Such possession and use shall not be deemed an acceptance or beneficial use or occupancy of any of the Work not completed in accordance with the Contract Documents.
