of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract
Documents 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 reimburse the City for the cost of such tests and repair or replace said materials or
products. In such instances the City may deduct such cost from any payments pending to
the Contractor.
The City may require that the Contractor provide the name and qualification of the
company(ies) providing the testing services, inclusive of the testing laboratory(ies). The
City, in its sole discretion, may accept or reject the use of any company or laboratory that
it determines does not possess the required licenses or expertise to perform their portion
of the Work.
53. Field Directives
The Project Manager or Consultant may at times issue field directives to the Contractor
based on visits to the Project(s) Site(s). Such Field Directives shall be issued in writing
and the Contractor shall be required to comply with the directive. Where the Contractor
believes that the directive is outside the scope of the Work, the Contractor shall, within 48
hours, notify the Project Manager or Consultant that the work is outside the scope of the
Work. At that time the Field Directive may be rescinded or the Contractor may be
required to submit a request for a change to the Contract. Where the Contractor is
notified of the City's position that the Work is within the scope and the Contractor
disagrees, the Contractor shall notify the Project Manager or Consultant that the
Contractor reserves the right to make a claim for the time and monies based on the Field
Directive. At no time shall the Contractor refuse to comply with the directive. Failure to
comply with the directive may result in a determination that the Contractor is in default of
the Contract.
54. Changes in the Work or Contract Documents
Without invalidating the Contract Documents and without notice to any Surety, City
reserves and shall have the right, from time to time to make such increases, decreases or
other changes in the character or quantity of the Work under the Contract Documents as
may be considered necessary or desirable to complete fully and acceptably the proposed
construction of a Project in a satisfactory manner. Any extra or additional Work within the
scope of the Project(s) must be accomplished by means of appropriate Field Orders and
Supplemental Instructions or Change Orders.
Any changes to the terms of the Contract Documents must be contained in a written
document, executed by the parties hereto. This section shall not prohibit the issuance of
Change Orders executed only by City.
55. Continuing the Work
Contractor shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress schedule during all
disputes or disagreements with City, including disputes or disagreements concerning a
request for a Change Order, a request for a change in the Contract price or Contract time
for completion. The Work shall not be delayed or postponed pending resolution of any
disputes or disagreements.

56. Change Orders
Changes in the quantity or character of the Work within the scope of the Project(s) which
are not properly the subject of Field Orders or Supplemental Instructions, including all
changes resulting in changes in the Contract Price, or the Contract Time, shall be
authorized only by Change Orders approved in advance and issued in accordance with
the provisions of the City.
In the event satisfactory adjustment cannot be reached for any item requiring a change in
the Contract Price or Contract Time, and a Change Order has not been issued, City
reserves the right at its sole option to either terminate the Contract as it applies to the
items in question and make such arrangements as may be deemed necessary to
complete the disputed work; or submit the matter in dispute to the Director as set forth in
Article 88, Resolution of Disputes. During the pendency of the dispute, and upon receipt
of a Change Order approved by City, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change
in the Work involved- and advise the Project Manager, Consultant, and Director in writing
within seven (7) calendar days of Contractor's agreement or disagreement with the
method, if any, provided in the Change Order for determining the proposed adjustment in
the Contract Price or Contract Time.
On approval of any Contract change increasing the Contract Price, Contractor shall
ensure that the performance bond and payment bond (if applicable) are increased so that
each reflects the total Contract Price as increased.
Under circumstances determined necessary by City, Change Orders may be issued
unilaterally by City.
The City 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 City to take such action as it may deem advisable in light of
such disputed Work.
57. 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 City 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.
Spoil Island E — Restoration & Floating Dock B-30721

The Contractor is required to provide the Project Manager with a detailed Change
Proposal Request, using City Forms CPR Parts A-C (available on the CIP webpage),
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 City 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 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 City. 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 City 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 City 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.
58. No Oral Changes
Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Contract, no change in or
modification, termination or discharge of the Contract or, in any form whatsoever,
shall be valid or enforceable unless it is in writing and signed by the parties
charged, therewith or their duly authorized representative.

increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be determined in one of the following
ways:
• Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract,
by application of unit prices to the quantities of items involved.
• By mutual acceptance of a lump sum which Contractor and Project Manager

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

employees does not require the termination or demotion of employee(s).
64. 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 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.

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

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.

ITB 12-13-034
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

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:
• 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;
Spoil Island E — Restoration & Floating Dock B-30721
CIP Contract No. 13-737
54
ITB 12-13-034
• 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,

Request for Information:
Q1. Contractor suggests the use of solid 14" x 14" square concrete piles by S & S precast
instead of round concrete piles for the floating dock. Are 14" x 14" concrete piles
acceptable for the floating dock?
Al. Yes equivalent concrete piles are acceptable. Concrete piles shall meet FDOT
specifications, and the concrete mix design shall be for an extremely aggressive
environment. The square piles and associated pile guides will 'have to be
incorporated into the floating dock design
Q2. Contractor suggests using intemal pile guides. Are internal pile guides acceptable?
A2. No. Berthing along the island side of the dock is discouraged due to the presence of
marine resources along the shoreline.
Spoil Island E — Restoration & Floating Dock (B-30721) Addendum No. 1
ITB 12-13-034
Q3. If possible, it is suggested that the timber dock platform be raised. Currently, the timber
dock is at elevation + 2 which becomes a problem at high tides. The aluminum ramp
pinches the floating dock causing extra wear and tear. Please consider the ADA slope
requirements when deciding the elevation for the timber dock.
A3. The plans illustrate a reinforced, cast -in -place platform for the shore connection on
the island. Elevations inthe plans are referenced to NAVD, and typical elevations on
the island range from +2 to +3 feet, NAVD. The finished grade of the platform is +2
feet, which is approximately 4 feet above MLW, and 2 feet above MHW. Depending on
the selected floating dock system, there may be cases where the gangway is sloping
up to meet the floating dock with associated freeboard. The floating dock and
gangway need to account for the range of water level conditions, and appropriate
figures shall be provided in the shop drawings for review. In addition, minor site
grading with fill and sod shall be provided for the transition from the platform to the
surrounding island elevations.
