Whenever the cost of any Work is to be determined pursuant to this Article, Contractor will submit in a form acceptable to Project Manager or Consultant an itemized cost breakdown together with the supporting data. Where the quantity of any item of the Work that is covered by a unit price is increased or decreased by more than twenty percent (20%) from the quantity of such Work indicated in the Contract Documents, an appropriate Change Order may be issued to adjust the unit price, if warranted. Whenever a change in the Work is to be based on mutual acceptance of a lump sum, whether the amount is an addition, credit or no change -in -cost, Contractor shall submit an initial cost estimate acceptable to the Project Manager or Consultant. • Breakdown shall list the quantities and unit prices for materials, labor, equipment and other items of cost. • Whenever a change involves Contractor and one or more Subcontractors and the change is an increase in the Contract Price, overhead and profit percentage for Contractor and each Subcontractor shall be itemized separately. • Each Change Order must state within the body of the Change Proposal Request whether it is based upon unit price, negotiated lump sum, or "cost of the Work." 60. Extra Work Directive If the parties fail to reach agreement with respect to the proposed Extra Work, or in case or extenuating circumstances, the City may nevertheless issue a directive to the Contractor to do the proposed Extra Work. Immediately upon receipt of the Extra Work Directive, the Contractor shall be obligated to proceed with the Work set forth in that directive. Except as provided below, the Contractor shall be entitled to initiate a dispute pursuant to the Article 91, Resolution of Disputes, by furnishing a written statement to the Project Manager within five (5) days of the Extra Work Directive, based upon any aspect, of such 47 NW 14 Street Streetscape Project Bid No.: 09-10-010 Extra Work which the Contractor disputes. Such dispute must relate to specific matters raised or specific matters reserved by the Contractor in its proposal and have not been resolved prior to the issuance of the Extra Work Directive. The written statement must set forth all details of the Contractor's claim including the manner that the disputed item was specified in the Contractor's proposal. During the pendency of any dispute hereunder, the Contractor must proceed with Work as set forth in the Extra Work Directive unless otherwise advised by the Project Manager's written instructions. In the event there is a dispute as to price, the Contractor will be paid in accordance with the following paragraph. This payment(s) will be in full satisfaction of the Contractor's claim for an adjustment to the value of the Contract. Compensation for Extra Work in the event of the parties' inability to agree upon a mutually satisfactory price shall be as follows: • No payment will be made to the Contractor for Extra Work in excess of "Actual and Necessary Cost" which is to say time and materials plus a mark-up not to exceed 10%. This will not vary, whether the Extra Work is performed by the Contractor or his subcontractor. Any exceptions must be approved by the Project Manager. "Actual and Necessary Net Cost" shall be deemed to include the actual and necessary cost of the Extra Work for (i) labor, which includes wages, payroll deductions, if any, made by the Contractor as employer pursuant to bona fide collective bargaining labor agreements applicable to the Work; (ii) contributions to the State Unemployment Insurance Law, (iii) excise taxes pursuant to Federal Social Security Act; (iv) any increases in public liability and property damage insurance or performance and payment bonds occasioned solely by the Extra Work, (v) the actual and necessary operating expenses (except the expense of supplies and small tools not operated by mechanical or electrical power), power for such plant and a reasonable rental for the same (including small power tools), as determined by the Project Manager; and (vi) any additional materials necessary for the performance of the Extra Work. In case any Work or materials shall be required to be done or fumished under the provisions of this Article, the Contractor shall at the end of each day furnish to the City such documentation as the City may require to support all the costs of the Extra Work. If payments on account are desired as the Extra Work progresses, the Contractor shall render an itemized statement showing the total amount expended for each class of labor and for each kind of material on account of each item of Work as a condition precedent to the inclusion of such payment in a partial estimate. Upon the request of the City, the Contractor shall produce for audit by the City, books, vouchers, collective bargaining labor agreements, records or other documents showing the actual cost for labor and materials. Such documents shall not be binding on the City. The Project Manager shall determine any questions or dispute as to the correct cost of such labor or materials or plant. In case the Contractor is ordered to perform Work under this Article, which in the opinion of the Project Manager, it is impracticable to have performed by the Contractor's own employees, the Contractor will, subject to the approval of the Project Manager, be paid the actual cost to Contractor of such Work, and in addition thereto five (5%) percent to cover the Contractor's superintendence, administration and other overhead expenses. Payment of any amount under this Article shall be subject to subsequent audit and approval, disapproval, modification or revision by representatives of the City. 61 As -Built Drawings During the Work, Contractor shall maintain records of all deviations from the Drawings and Specifications as approved by the Project Manager or Consultant and prepare As -Built Record Drawings showing correctly and accurately all changes and deviations made during construction to reflect the Work as it was actually constructed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to check.the As -Built Drawings for errors and omissions prior to submittal to the 48 NW 14 Street Streetscape Project Bid No.: 09-10-010 City and certify in writing that the As -Built Drawings are correct and accurate, including the actual location of all internal piping, electrical/signal conduits in or below the concrete floor.

As -built documents shall be updated monthly as a condition precedent to payment. For construction of new building or building additions as -built drawings signed and sealed by a Florida licensed Registered Land Surveyor. . 62. Worker's Identification The Contractor's employees, who include any Subcontractor, shall wear an identification card provided by the Contractor. The identification card shall bear the employee's picture, name, title and name of the employer. Failure by a Contractor's employee to wear such identification may result in his removal from the Work until such time as the identification card is obtained and worn. Such removal shall not act as a basis for the Contractor to submit a claim for an extension of time. 63. Removal of Unsatisfactory Personnel The City 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 City 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 City shall make the final determination as to the removal of unsatisfactory personnel from Work assigned by City. The Contractor agrees that the removal of any of its employees does not require the termination or demotion of employee(s). 64. Substantial. Completion, Punch List, & Final Completion 49 NW 14 Street Streetscape Project Bid No.: 09-10-010 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 Use, 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 City 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 City will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion. Once substantial completion is achieved the City 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. 65. 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. 50 NW 14 Street Streetscape Project Bid No.: 09-10-010 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 warranty and all Manufacturer's warranties prior to issuance of the Final Certificate for Payment. Prior to approval of final payment the Project Manager shall provide written confirmation to the Contractor that any and all training required by the Contract Documents has been provided to the satisfaction of the Project Manager. 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, City 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. 66. NDPES 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/npdes/. Contractor is responsible for obtaining, completing and paying for any required NPDES application or permits that may be required. 67. Force Majeure 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, the City 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 City 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. 68. 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 City or by a Force Majeure, then the Contract Time set forth in the Contract shall be extended by the City subject to the following conditions: 51 NW 14 Street Streetscape Project Bid No.: 09-10-010 • 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 City shall only consider weather related delays where adverse weather directly impacts the critical path of the Project Schedule. However, the City will also factor in other factor in considering an extension of time, including the length of the weather delay, and the adverse weather conditions as they relate to typical weather patterns during the period the Work is being performed. The City 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 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 shall 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 shall 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 City 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 City 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 City's rights under the Contract, including but not limited to the assessment of liquidated damages or declaring Contractor in default. 52 NW 14 Street Streetscape Project Bid No.: 09-10-010 69. 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 71, Contractor's Damages for Delay hereof, if City 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 limited to, acts or neglect by any separate contractor employed by City, fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God. 70. 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 72, Excusable, Delays, the Contractor shall not be entitled to a separate extension for each one of the causes; only one period of extension shall be granted for the delay. 71. 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 City 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 City 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 City 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 City 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 City delay. Time extensions may be authorized by the City in certain situations. 53 NW 14 Street Streetscape Project Bid No.: 09-10-010 72. Excusable Delay, Non-Compensable Excusable Delay is (i) caused by circumstances beyond the control of Contractor, its Subcontractors, suppliers and vendors, and is also caused by circumstances beyond the control of the City or Consultant, or (ii) is caused jointly or concurrently by Contractor or its Subcontractors, suppliers or vendors and by the City 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 69, Notification of Claim, hereof. Failure of Contractor to comply with Article 69, 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. 73. Lines and Grades 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 City, and shall be solely responsible for the accuracy thereof. 74. 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, City 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 City 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 repairspromptly 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 City, shall promptly correct such defective or nonconforming Work within the time specified by City without cost to City, 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 City to final acceptance. 75. Acceptance of Defective or Non -Conforming Work The City, 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 City by the Contractor. 54 NW 14 Street Streetscape Project Bid No.: 09-10-010 76. 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, such uncovering, taking down, replacing and restoration shall be at the expense of the Contractor. Such expenses shall also include repayment to the City 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. 77. 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 City'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 not 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 City to proceed to have such Work done at the Contractor's expense and that the Contractor will pay the cost thereof upon demand. The City 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 City 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 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 City to do so: The City 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 City. 78.
