DATE: November 13, 2024 SUBJECT: Recommendation for Award of a Construction Contract for NW 13th Street Improvements - D1, Project No. 40-B50104 REFERENCES: Invitation to Bid ("ITB") No. 23-24-034 ENCLOSURES: Bid Security List, Contractor's Price Proposal, Solicitation RECOMMENDATION: Based on the findings below, the City of Miami ("City") Department of Procurement ("Procurement") hereby recommends that the referenced contract be awarded to Florida Engineering and Development Corp. ("FED"), who has been deemed the sole responsive and responsible Bidder for ITB No. 23-24-034, NW 13th Street Improvements - D1, Project No. 40-B50104 ("Project"). BACKGROUND: On July 5, 2024, Procurement issued an ITB solicitation through the Periscope S2G ("BidSync") System under full and open competition to obtain bids from qualified firms. On August 27, 2024, Procurement received one (1) bid in response to the solicitation (see attached Bid Security List). Pursuant to the solicitation, Bidders were required to have 1) a current Certified General Contractor ("CGC") license from the State of Florida for a minimum of five (5) years AND have a minimum of five (5) years' experience under its current business name; and 2) have experience as the Prime Contractor for at least three (3) projects - one (1) drainage, one (1) roadway reconstruction, and one (1) water/sewer system improvements of similar size, scope, and complexity to the Project, currently ongoing or completed within the past ten (10) years. The CGC must have a proven track record of coordination with and between all applicable trades, including but not limited to structural, mechanical, and electrical, as may be required during the construction of the Project; and 3) the submitted reference projects had to demonstrate that i) the CGC was the General Contractor for the project; and ii) the CGC self -performed at least ten percent (10%) of the physical labor construction work for the project. FINDINGS: Procurement conducted due diligence on the bid received, following the guidelines published in the solicitation. As a result of such effort, the sole bidder FED, was deemed responsive and compliant with the minimum requirements stipulated in the "Notice to Contractors," and demonstrated the required prior experience in projects of comparable scope, scale, and complexity similar to the one to be completed for the Project. Accordingly, FED was deemed the sole responsive and responsible Bidder. The City's Department of Resilience and Public Works ("RPW') and Miami -Dade County Water and Sewer Department ("WASD") reviewed and evaluated FED's bid and compared it with a construction cost estimate prepared by RS&H, Inc., the Engineer of Record ("EOR"). While the bid for the City portion of the Project was deemed acceptable, WASD did not accept the bid for the Water Main portion. At the request of WASD, a Negotiations Meeting with FED was scheduled for October 2, 2024. At the Negotiation Meeting, WASD discussed with FED certain line items that exceeded the construction cost estimate, and FED agreed to reduce the unit cost on some of the line items.

On October 3, 2024, RPW and WASD accepted FED's revised bid as reasonable based on current market conditions in the construction industry and recommended to award the Project to FED. Based on the above findings, Procurement hereby recommends that the Project be awarded to FED as shown below: FLORIDA ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT CORP.

Notify all utility companies that are affected by the construction operation at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance. Under no circumstance, expose any utility without first obtaining permission from the appropriate agency. Once permission has been granted, locate, expose, and provide temporary support for all existing underground utilities and utility poles where necessary. The Contractor and its subcontractors shall be solely and directly responsible to the owner and operators of such properties for any damage, injury, expense, loss, inconvenience, delay, suits, actions, or claims of any character brought because of any injuries or damage that may result from the construction operations under the Contract Documents. Neither the City nor its officers or agents shall be responsible to the Contractor for damages as a result of the Contractor's failure to protect utilities encountered in the Work. In the event of interruption to domestic water, sewer, storm drain, or other utility services as a result of accidental breakage due to construction operations, promptly notify the proper authority. Cooperate with said authority in restoration of service as promptly as possible and bear all costs of repair. In no event shall interruption of any utility service be allowed unless granted by the owner of the utility. In the event water service lines that interfere with trenching are encountered, the Contractor may, by obtaining prior approval of the water utility, cut the service, dig through, and restore the service with similar and equal materials at the Contractor's expense and as approved by the City. Replace, with material approved by the City, at the Contractor's expense, any and all other laterals, existing utilities or structures removed or damaged during construction, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents and as approved by the City. Replace, with material approved by the City, at the Contractor's expense, any existing utilities damaged during the Work. 33. Interfering Structures An attempt has been made to show major structures in the furnished Drawings.

In case of disagreement between the written and graphic portions of the Contract Documents, the written portion shall govern. 47. Contractor Furnished Drawings A Contract Documents may require the Contractor to furnish design, shop, and/or as -built drawings depending on the nature and scope of the Work to be performed. The following applies to the different types of drawings. The City shall, after review of the drawings, initial and mark the drawings in one of the following manners: 1. ACCEPTED - No correction required. 2. PROCEED AS CORRECTED - Minor changes or corrections identified. Work can proceed subject to re -submittal and acceptance of the drawings. 3. REVISE AND RESUBMIT - Significant changes or corrections are recommended. Submittal must be revised and resubmitted for acceptance prior to Work proceeding. 4. REJECTED - Not in accordance with the Contract and/or Contract Documents due to excessive changes or corrections or other justifiable reason. Drawings must be corrected and resubmitted prior to any Work being performed. Revisions required by the permitting jurisdiction must also be reviewed and accepted by the City prior to resubmission to the permitting agency. Acceptance by the City shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for errors and omissions in the drawings. 48. Substitutions Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular supplier, the naming of the item is intended to establish the type, function, and quality required. Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other suppliers may be accepted by Consultant sufficient information is submitted by the Contractor to allow City and Consultant 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 the City from anyone other than the Contractor. If the Contractor wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, the Contractor shall make application to the City for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute shall perform adequately 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 the 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 to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 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 Consultant in evaluating the proposed substitute. The City may require the Contractor to furnish at the Contractor's expense additional data about the proposed substitute. If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by Contract Documents, the Contractor may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction acceptable to the Consultant, if the Contractor submits sufficient information to allow the FOR 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 Consultant shall be the same as those provided herein for substitute materials and equipment. The Consultant shall be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed substitute. The City shall be the sole judge of the acceptability of any substitute. No substitute shall be ordered, installed, or utilized without the City's and the Consultant's prior written acceptance, which shall be evidenced by either a Change Order or an approved submittal. The City may require the Contractor to furnish at the Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. If the Consultant rejects the proposed substitute, at their discretion, the City may require the Contractor to reimburse the City for the charges of the Consultant for evaluating the proposed substitute. The Contractor shall maintain sole liability and responsibility for ensuring that all substitutions and any required design of such are in full compliance with and meet all the requirements of the Contract Documents. 49. City Furnished Drawings The City, at its sole discretion, may furnish design drawings. It shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor to bring to the immediate attention of the City any discrepancies between the drawings and existing conditions, excluding hidden or unforeseen conditions, discovered prior to commencing and during the Work. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of the drawings prior to commencing the Work and shall be responsible for any errors or revisions of the Work, which might have been avoided by notifying the City prior to commencement. This shall also apply to any revisions or omissions identified by the Contractor. The Contractor shall submit all requests for information entitled Request for Information (RFI). The City shall respond to all RFI's in writing. The Contractor shall have no basis for any claim for additional costs resulting from their failure to identify any required revisions, omissions, and/or errors, not identified in writing to the City prior to commencing the Work. The drawings are to be addressed as a complete set and should not be used in parts. The Contractor is responsible for coordinating the set of drawings with all trades to ensure that the Work will be performed correctly and coordinated among the trades. The Contractor shall not scale the drawings. 50. Interpretation of Drawings and Documents Drawings and specifications are intended to be consistent, be mutually explanatory, and should be used together and not separately. During the performance of the Project, should any errors, omissions, conflicts, ambiguities or discrepancies be found in the drawings and/or specifications, the City will clarify in writing the intent of the drawings and/or specifications and the Contractor agrees to abide by the City's interpretation and perform the Work in accordance with the decision of the City. In such event, the Contractor will be held to have included in its Contract Price the best materials suitable for the purpose and/or methods of construction. NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 51. Product and Material Testing All tests shall be performed by the Contractor, except where otherwise specifically stated in the Contract Documents. All costs for testing performed by the Contractor shall be at the Contractor's expense. The City may, in its sole and absolute discretion, test materials, and products at its own cost. However, should such materials or products fail to pass the test and/or meet the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor 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. 52. Field Directives The City may at times issue field directives to the Contractor based on visits to the Project 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 forty-eight (48) hours, notify the City 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 City 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. 53. 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 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 the City. 54. Continuing the Work The Contractor shall execute 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. 55. Change Orders Changes in the quantity or character of the Work within the scope of the Project 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 90, "Resolution of Disputes." During the pendency of the dispute, and upon receipt of a Change Order approved by the City, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the City and Director in writing within seven (7) calendar days of the Contractor's NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 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, the 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 the City, Change Orders may be issued unilaterally by the City. The City reserves the right to order changes which may result in additions to, or reductions of 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 City expressly and unmistakably indicating his/her intention to treat the Work described therein as Extra Work. In the absence of such an order, the City 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 City stating why the Contractor 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 City 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. 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 of 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 the Contractor outlining the proposed Extra Work. Upon receipt of the notice to proceed with the Extra Work, the Contractor is required to start the Extra Work immediately. 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 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 the 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. If the Contractor fails to notify the City of the schedule changes associated with the Extra Work, it will be deemed an acknowledgment by the 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 percent (10%) of the direct labor and material costs, unless the City 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 NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 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. 57. 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. 58. Value of Change Order Work The value of any Work covered by a Change Proposal Request or of any claim for an 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 Contract unit price, which the Contractor and Project Manager acknowledge, contains a component for overhead and profit. ■ Based on the "Cost of Work," determined as provided in this, plus the Contractor's fee for overhead and profit, which is determined as provided in this Article. ■ The term "Cost of Work" means the sum of all direct costs necessarily incurred and paid by the Contractor in the proper performance of the Work described in the Change Order. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by the City, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, shall include only the following items and shall not include any of the costs itemized in herein. Payroll costs for employees in the direct employment of the Contractor in the performance of the Work described in the Change Proposal Request under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by the City. Payroll costs for employees not employed full time on the Work covered by the Change Proposal Request shall be apportioned on the basis of their time spent on the Work. Payroll costs shall include, but not be limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits which shall include social security contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll taxes, workers' or workmen's compensation, health and retirement benefits, bonuses, sick leave, vacation, and holiday pay application thereto. Such employees shall include superintendents and foremen at the site. The expenses of performing the Work after regular working hours, on Sunday or legal holidays shall be included in the above to the extent authorized by City. Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including costs of transportation and storage thereof, and manufacturers' field services required in connection therewith. All cash discounts shall accrue to the Contractor unless the City deposits funds with the Contractor with which to make payments, in which case the cash discounts shall accrue to the City. All trade discounts, rebates and refunds, and all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment shall accrue to City and the Contractor shall make provisions so that they may be obtained. Rentals of all construction equipment and machinery and the parts thereof whether rented from the Contractor or others in accordance with rental agreements approved by City with the advice of Consultant and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading, installation, dismantling and removal thereof, all in accordance with the terms of said agreements. The rental of any such equipment, machinery, or parts shall cease when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the Work. If required by the City, the Contractor shall obtain competitive bids for the Change Order Work. The Contractor shall deliver such competitive bids to the City who will determine which bids will be accepted. If the subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of cost of the Work plus a fee, the subcontractor's cost of the NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 Work shall be determined in the same manner as the Contractor's cost of the Work. All subcontractors shall be subject to the other provisions of the Contract Documents as far as applicable. The term "Cost of the Work" shall include any of the following: ■ Cost of special Consultants, including, but not limited to, Consultants, architects, testing laboratories, and surveyors employed for services specifically related to the performance of the Work described in the Change Order. ■ Supplemental costs including the following: ■ The proportion of necessary transportation, travel, and subsistence expenses of the Contractor's employees incurred in discharge of duties connected with the Work except for local travel to and from the site of the Work. ■ Cost, including transportation and maintenance, of all materials, supplies, equipment, machinery, appliances, office and temporary facilities at the site and hand tools not owned by the workmen, which are consumed in the performance of the Work, and less market value of such items used but not consumed which remains the property of the Contractor. ■ Sales, use, or similar taxes related to the Work, and for which the Contractor is liable, imposed by any governmental authority. ■ Deposits lost for causes other than the Contractor's negligence, royalty payments, and fees for permits and licenses. ■ The cost of utilities, fuel, and sanitary facilities at the site. ■ Receipted minor expenses such as telegrams, long distance telephone calls, telephone service at the site, expressage, and similar petty cash items in connection with the Work. ■ Cost of premiums for additional bonds and insurance required because of changes in the Work. The term "Cost of Work" shall not include any of the following: ■ Payroll costs and other compensation of the Contractor's officers, executives, principals (of partnership and sole proprietorships), general managers, consultants, architects, estimators, lawyers, auditors, accountants, purchasing and contracting agents, expediters, timekeepers, clerks, and other personnel employed by the Contractor whether at the site or in its principal or a branch office, for general administration of the Work and not specifically included in the agreed -upon schedule of job classifications, all of which are to be considered administrative costs covered by the Contractor's fee. ■ Expenses of the Contractor's principal and branch offices other than the Contractor's office at the site. ■ Any part of the Contractor's capital expenses, including interest on the Contractor's capital employed for the Work and charges against the Contractor for delinquent payments. ■ Cost of premiums for all Bonds and for all insurance whether or not the Contractor is required by the Contract Documents to purchase and maintain the same, except for additional bonds and insurance required because of changes in the Work. ■ Costs due to the negligence or neglect of the Contractor, any subcontractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, including but not limited to, the correction of defective Work, disposal of NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 materials or equipment wrongly supplied and making good any damage to property, or soft costs such as consultant costs, or any costs not directly attributable to the work. ■ Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the cost of any item not specifically and expressly included in this Article. The Contractor 's fee allowed to the Contractor for overhead and profit shall be determined as follows: ■ A mutually acceptable fixed fee or if none can be agreed upon. ■ A fee based on the following percentages of the various portions of the cost of the Work. ■ Where the Contractor self -performs the Work, the Contractor's fee shall not exceed ten percent (10%). ■ Where a subcontractor performs the Work, the Contractor's fee shall not exceed seven and one-half percent (7.5%); and if a subcontract is on the basis of cost of the Work plus a fee, the maximum allowable to the subcontractor as a fee for overhead and profit shall not exceed ten percent (10%). ■ No fee shall be payable for special Consultants or supplemental costs; and ■ No other markup or charge shall be allowed except as expressly provided above. The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to City for any such change, which results in a net decrease in cost, will be the amount of the actual net decrease. When both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the combined overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any, however, the Contractor shall not be entitled to claim lost profits for any Work not performed. Whenever the cost of any Work is to be determined pursuant to this Article, the Contractor will submit in a form acceptable to the City an itemized cost breakdown together with the supporting data. Whenever a change in the Work is based on mutual acceptance of a lump sum, whether the amount is an addition, credit, or no change -in -cost, the Contractor shall submit an initial cost estimate acceptable to the City. ■ Breakdown shall list the quantities and unit prices for materials, labor, equipment, and other items of cost. ■ Whenever a change involves the Contractor and one (1) or more subcontractors, and the change is an increase in the Contract Price, overhead and profit percentage for the 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 Work." 59. 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 90, "Resolution of Disputes," by furnishing a written statement to the Construction Manager within five (5) calendar days of the Extra Work Directive, based upon any aspect, of such Extra Work which the Contractor disputes. Such dispute must relate to specific matters raised or specific matters reserved by the Contractor in its bid 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 NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 item was specified in the Contractor's bid. 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 ten percent (10%). This will not vary whether the Extra Work is performed by the Contractor or his subcontractor. The Project Manager must approve any exceptions. "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 Construction 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 furnished 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 supporting 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, 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 the Contractor of such Work, and in addition thereto five percent (5%) 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. 60. As -Built Drawings During the Work, the Contractor shall maintain records of all deviations from the Drawings and Specifications as approved by the Project Manager and prepare two copies of 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 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. Indicate the size, depth, and voltage in each conduit. Legibly mark to record actual construction: On -site structures and site Work as follows: NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 ■ Depths of various elements of foundation in relation to finish first floor datum. ■ All underground piping and ductwork with elevations and dimensions and locations of valves, pull boxes, etc. ■ Changes in location: Horizontal and vertical locations of underground utilities and appurtenances, referenced to permanent surface improvements. Actual installed pipe material, class, etc. ■ Location of internal utilities and appurtenances concealed in the construction, referenced to visible and accessible features of the structure. Air conditioning ducts with locations of dampers, access doors, fans and other items needing periodic maintenance. ■ Field changes in dimensions and details. ■ Changes made by Project Manager or Consultant's written instructions or by Change Order. ■ Details not on original Contract Drawings. ■ Equipment, conduit, and/or electrical panel locations. ■ Project Manager or Consultant's schedule changes according to the Contractor's records and shop drawings. Specifications and Addenda Legibly mark each section to record: ■ Manufacturer, trade name, catalog number, and Supplier of each product and item of equipment actually installed. ■ Changes made by Project Manager or Consultant's written instructions or by Change Order. Approved Shop Drawings: Provide record copies for each process equipment, piping, electrical system, and instrumentation system. As -built documents shall be updated monthly as a condition precedent to payment. For construction of new buildings, or building additions, field improvements, and or roadway improvements as -built drawings signed and sealed by a Florida licensed Registered Land Surveyor. In addition, for Projects that involve roadwork and drainage, the Contractor shall provide complete as -built information relative to location, size, and depth of new pipes, manholes, inlets, etc. Identify grading; include locations of fittings, valves, fire hydrants, changing in pipe materials, water sampling points, thrust blocks, benchmarks, etc. The information shall be accurately recorded by the Contractor and submitted (signed and sealed by a Florida Certified P.L.S.) to the City of Miami prior to final acceptance of the Work. All recorded information on existing utility crossing encountered during construction, included but not limited to pipes, inlets, manholes, etc., shall be recorded by a Florida Registered Surveyor and shown on the record drawings. The Project's as -built set of drawings shall Include GPS coordinates (X, Y, and Z) for all new and/or existing vacuum cleaned drainage system openings (i.e., catch basins, inlets, manholes, etc.) 61. 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. 62. 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 subcontractor engaged by the Contractor to NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 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). 63. Substantial Completion, Punch List, and Final Completion The Work shall be substantially complete when the City, in the reasonable exercise of their discretion determines that the Work is complete, 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 City 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 City inspects 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 City 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 City 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 City shall indicate that the Work is substantially complete subject to completion of the Punch List. Where the City determines, on the appropriate form that the Work is not substantially complete, the City 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 City and the Contractor shall agree on the time reasonably required to complete all the remaining Work included in the Punch List. Upon the receipt of all documentation, resolution of any outstanding issues and issuance of final payment, the City shall notify the Contractor in writing of the closeout of the Project. The City will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form that 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 the 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 the Contractor that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance, the City shall, within ten (10) calendar days, make an inspection thereof. If the City finds 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 NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 Certificate for Payment shall be issued by the City. Said Certificate shall state 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, the Contractor shall deliver to the City 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. The Contractor shall deliver the written Contractor's and all Manufacturer's warranties prior to issuance of the Final Certificate of Payment. If, after the Work has been substantially completed, full completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor, and the Project Manager 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 the Contractor, except those previously made in strict accordance with the provisions of the Contract and identified by the Contractor as unsettled at the time of the application for final payment. 65. NPDES Requirements The 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/. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining, completing, and paying for any required NPDES application or permits that may be required. 66. Force Majeure Should any failure to perform on the part of the Contractor be due to a condition of force majeure as that term is interpreted under Florida law, and then 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) business 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. Does Not Include inclement weather, except as permitted by Florida law, and may not include the acts or omissions of subcontractors. 67. Extension of Time Any reference in this section to the Contractor shall be deemed to include suppliers, and permitted subcontractors, whether or not in privity 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. NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 • The Contractor demonstrates that the completion of the Work will be actually and necessarily delayed; and • 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 reserves the right to rescind or shorten any extension previously granted if subsequently, the City 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 City 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, except for Force Majeure which must be requested within two (2) business 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 City 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 City 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 the 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 the Contractor to the City within ten (10) calendar 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 City allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim and such notice shall be accompanied by the 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 City in accordance with Article NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 70, "No Damages for Delay," if City and the 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 the 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. 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 Delay, Non-Compensable," 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. No Damages for Delav No claim for damages or any claim, other than for an extension of time, shall be made or asserted against the City by reason of any delays except as provided herein. The 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 the Contractor for actual delays due solely to fraud, bad faith or active interference on the part of City. Otherwise, the Contractor shall be entitled only to extensions of the Contract Time for completion of the Work as the sole and exclusive remedy for such a resulting delay, in accordance with and to the extent specifically provided above. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. 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. The Contractor shall not receive monetary compensation for the City delay. Time extensions may be authorized, in writing, by the City in certain situations. 71. Excusable Delav, Non-Compensable Excusable Delay is (i) caused by circumstances beyond the control of the Contractor, its subcontractors, suppliers and vendors, agents, and representatives, and is also caused by circumstances beyond the control of the City or Consultant, or (ii) is caused jointly or concurrently by the Contractor or its subcontractors, suppliers or vendors or agents and representatives and by the City or Consultant. Then the Contractor shall be entitled only to a time extension and no compensation for the delay. The Contractor is entitled to a time extension of the Contract time for each day the Work is delayed due to Excusable Delay. The Contractor shall document its claim for any time extension as provided in Article 68, "Notification of Claim," hereof. Failure of the 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. NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 72. 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. 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 shall have the authority to reject or disapprove Work that Project Manager finds to be defective. If required by the City, the Contractor shall promptly either correct all defective Work or remove such defective Work and replace it with Work in conformity with the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect, and consequential costs of such removal or corrections including cost of testing laboratories and personnel. Should the 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 the City, City shall have the authority to cause the defective Work to be removed or corrected or make such repairs as may be necessary at the Contractor's expense. Any expense incurred by the City in making such removals, corrections, or repairs, shall be paid out of any monies due or which may become due to the Contractor, or may be charged against the Performance Bond. In the event of the failure of the Contractor to make all necessary repairs promptly and fully, City may declare the 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, the 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 that the 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. 74. 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. 75. Uncovering Finished Work The Project Manager, Inspector, 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 City 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, taking down, replacement, and/or 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 costs, in connection with such uncovering, taking down, replacing, and restoration at the Project site. NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 76. Correction of Work The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the Project Manager 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 the 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 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 City, 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(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 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. 77. Maintenance of Traffic and Public Streets Scope of Work The Contractor shall be responsible for the maintenance of public streets and traffic control necessary to perform the Work under the Contract Documents. The cost of traffic control shall be included in the Contractor's bid. Reg ulations As used herein, any reference to Miami -Dade County, its departments, or its published regulations, permits and data, shall be synonymous and interchangeable with other recognized governing bodies over particular areas or streets, or their departments, published regulations (i.e., Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), Federal Department of Transportation (FDOT), Roadway and Bridge Standard Index Drawing Book, permits or data.

Where excavations are to be made in the vicinity of signalized intersections, attention is directed to the fact that vehicle loop detectors may have been embedded in the pavement. Verify these locations by inspecting the site of the Work and by contacting the Sunshine State One -Call Center (1-800-432-4770), forty-eight (48) hours prior to any excavation. Any loop detector that is damaged, whether shown on the Plans or not, shall be repaired or replaced to the satisfaction of the Miami Dade County Signs and Signal Division (305) 592-3470. Where applicable, the Contractor shall notify the Traffic Division twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the construction date or forty-eight (48) hours in advance of construction within any signalized intersection. Temporary pavement will be required over all cuts in pavement areas, and also where traffic is to be routed over swale or median areas. When the temporary pavement for routing traffic is no longer necessary, it shall be removed, and the swale or median areas restored to their previous condition. Pavement markings damaged during construction shall be remarked, as required by the Traffic Division. Maintenance of Traffic for Bypass Pumping The Contractor shall take appropriate steps to ensure that all temporary pumps, piping, and hoses are protected from vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic. Lane Closures Where construction of the Project shall involve lane closures public streets, a Lane Closure Permit must be obtained two (2) weeks prior to planned construction, with a minimum forty-eight (48) hour prior notice to local police and emergency departments (some police jurisdictions may require considerably more notice).

Location and Damage to Existing Facilities, Equipment, or Utilities As far as possible, all existing utility lines in the Project area(s) will be shown on the plans. However, City does not guarantee that all lines are shown, or that the ones indicated are in their true location. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to field -verify all underground and overhead utility lines or equipment affecting or affected by the Project. No additional payment will be made to the Contractor because of discrepancies in actual and planned location of utilities, and damages suffered as a result thereof. NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 The Contractor shall notify each utility company involved at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the start of construction to arrange for positive underground location, relocation, or support of its utility where that utility may be in conflict with or endangered by the proposed construction. Relocation of water mains or other utilities for the convenience of the Contractor shall be paid for by the Contractor. All charges by utility companies for temporary support of its utilities shall be paid by the Contractor. All costs of permanent utility relocation to avoid conflict shall be the responsibility of the utility company involved. No additional payment will be made to the Contractor for utility relocations, whether or not said relocation is necessary to avoid conflict with other lines. The Contractor shall schedule the Work in such a manner that the Work is not delayed by the utility providers relocating or supporting their utilities. The Contractor shall coordinate its activities with any and all public and private utility providers occupying the right-of-way.

All such repairs made by the Contractor are to be made to the satisfaction of the utility owner. All damaged utilities must be replaced or fully repaired. All repairs are to be inspected by the utility owner prior to backfilling. 79. Stop Work Order The City may, at any time, by written order to the Contractor, require the Contractor to stop all, or any part, of the Work for a period of up to ninety (90) calendar days (or any lesser period), commencing no sooner than the date the order is delivered to the Contractor, or the Stop Work Order may commence on a later date as the parties may agree. Any such order shall be specifically identified as a "Stop Work Order" issued pursuant to this paragraph. Within the period of ninety (90) calendar days (or the lesser period specified) after a Stop Work Order is delivered to the Contractor, or within any extension to which the parties have agreed, the City shall either: ■ Cancel the Stop Work Order; or ■ Terminate the Work covered by such order as provided in Article 89, "Termination for Convenience." If a Stop Work Order issued under this Article is canceled or the period of the order or any extension thereof expires, the Contractor shall resume the Work without compensation to the Contractor for such suspension other than extending the time for Substantial Completion to the extent that, in the opinion of the City, the Contractor may have been delayed by such suspension. In the event the City determines that the suspension of Work was necessary due to the Contractor's defective or incorrect Work, unsafe Work conditions caused by the Contractor, or any other reason caused by the Contractor's fault or omission, the Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of time as a result of the issuance of a Stop Work Order. 80. Hurricane Preparedness During such periods of time as are designated by the United States Weather Bureau as being a hurricane warning, the Contractor, at no cost to the City, shall take all precautions necessary to secure the Project site in response to all threatened storm events, regardless of whether the City has given notice of same. 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 City 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 compensable delay. NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 81. Use of Completed Portions The city shall have the right, at its sole option, to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the Project. 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. If such possession and use increase the cost of or delays the Work, the Contractor shall be entitled to reasonable extra compensation, or reasonable extension of time or both, as determined by the City. In the event City takes possession of any completed or partially completed portions of the Project, the following shall occur: ■ The City shall give notice to the Contractor in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the City's intended occupancy of a designated area. ■ The Contractor shall complete to the point of Substantial Completion the designated area and request inspection and issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion from the City. ■ Upon the City's issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion, the City will assume full responsibility for maintenance, utilities, subsequent damages of City and public, adjustment of insurance coverage, and start of warranty for the occupied area. ■ The Contractor shall complete all items noted on the Certificate of Substantial Completion within the time specified by the City on the Certificate of Substantial Completion, as specified in the Punch List and request final inspection and final acceptance of the portion of the Work occupied. Upon completion of final inspection and receipt of an application for final payment, City shall issue a Certificate of Final Payment relative to the occupied area. ■ If City finds it necessary to occupy or use a portion or portions of the Work prior to Substantial Completion thereof, such occupancy or use shall not commence prior to a time mutually agreed upon by City and the Contractor and to which the insurance company or companies providing the property insurance have consented by endorsement to the policy or policies. Insurance on the unoccupied or unused portion or portions shall not be canceled or lapsed on account of such partial occupancy or use.

Cleaning Up; City's Right to Clean Up The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of waste materials or rubbish caused by its operations. No fill or clearing stockpiles to remain on site for more than twenty-four (24) hours. At the completion of a Project, the Contractor shall remove all its waste materials and rubbish from and about the Project as well as its tools, construction equipment, machinery, and surplus materials. If the Contractor fails to clean up during the prosecution of the Work or at the completion of the Work, the City may do so, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the Contractor. If a dispute arises between the Contractor and separate contractors as to their responsibility for cleaning up, City may clean up and charge the cost thereof to the contractors responsible therefore as the City shall determine to be just. All combustible waste materials shall be removed from the Project at the end of each day. Cleaning operations should be controlled to limit dust and other particles adhering to existing surfaces. 83. Removal of Equipment In case of termination of this Contract before completion for any cause whatsoever, the Contractor, if notified to do so by the City, shall promptly remove any part or all of the Contractor's equipment and supplies from the property of City. If the Contractor does not comply with the City's order, the City shall have the right to remove such equipment and supplies at the expense of the Contractor.

Set -offs, Withholdings, and Deductions The City may set-off, deduct, or withhold from any payment due the Contractor, such sums as may be specifically allowed in the Contract or by applicable law including, without limitation, the following: ■ Any amount of any claim by a third party. ■ Any Liquidated Damages; and/or ■ Any unpaid legally enforceable debt owed by the Contractor to the City. The City shall notify the Contractor in writing of any such withholdings. Any withholding, which is ultimately held to have been wrongful, shall be paid to the Contractor in accordance with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act. 85. Event of Default An event of default shall mean a breach of the Contract or by the Contractor.

In the event that the Contractor fails to provide to the City the requested assurances within the prescribed time frame, the City may: » Treat such failure as a repudiation of the Contract and/or. » Resort to any remedy for breach provided herein or by law, including but not limited to, taking over the performance of the Work or any part thereof either by itself or through others. ■ In the event the City may, at its sole discretion, terminate the Contract for default, the City or its designated representatives may immediately take possession of all applicable documentation and data. NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 ■ Where the City erroneously terminates the Contract or for default, the terminations shall be converted to a Termination for Convenience, and the Contractor shall have no further recourse of any nature for wrongful termination. 86. Notice of Default -Opportunity to Cure In the event that the City determines that the Contractor is in default of their obligations under the Contract, the City may at its sole discretion notify the Contractor in writing, specifying the basis for such default, and advising the Contractor that such default must be cured within a specified time frame, or the Contract with the City may be terminated. The City should issue such Notification; however, the City is under no obligation to issue such notification in the event the City lacks actual knowledge of the default. The City may grant an extension to the cure period if the City deems it appropriate and in the best interest of the City, without waiver of any of the City's rights hereunder. The City, at its sole discretion, may have a default corrected by its own forces or another Contractor and any such costs incurred will be deducted from any sums due the Contractor under any Contract with the City. 87. Termination for Default If the Contractor fails to comply with any term or condition of the Contract Documents, or fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, then Contractor shall be in default. Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder which is not cured within the time specified to cure the default if one has been granted by the City, the Director in addition to all remedies available to it by law, may immediately, upon written notice to the Contractor, terminate this Contract whereupon any advances for which Work has not been performed, paid by the City to the Contractor while the Contractor was in default shall be immediately returned to the City. The Director may also suspend any payment or part thereof or order a Work stoppage until such time as the issues concerning compliance are resolved. The Contractor understands and agrees that termination of this Contract under this Article shall not release the Contractor from any obligation accruing prior to the effective date of termination. A finding of default and subsequent termination for cause may include, without limitation, any of the following: ■ The Contractor fails to obtain the insurance or bonding herein required by the Contract. ■ The Contractor fails to comply with any of its duties under the Contract Documents, with any terms or conditions set forth in this Contract Documents, beyond any specified period allowed to cure such default. ■ The Contractor fails to commence the Work within the timeframes provided or contemplated herein, or fails to complete the Work in a timely manner as required by the Contract. If this Contract is terminated for default and the City has satisfied its obligations under the Contract Documents the City is granted by the Contractor full use of the Work and any Work Product in connection with the City's completion and occupancy of the Project. Where it has been determined that the Contractor has been erroneously terminated under this Article, such termination shall be deemed to have been under Article 89, "Termination for Convenience." The City in its sole discretion may terminate the Contract without providing the Contractor a written Notice to Cure. 88. Remedies in the Event of Termination for Default If a Termination for Default occurs, the Contractor and the bond provider, if applicable, shall be notified of the effective date of the termination and shall be liable for all damages resulting from the default, including but not limited to re -procurement costs and other direct damages. NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 The Contractor shall stop Work as of the date of notification of the termination and immediately remove all labor, equipment, and materials (not owned or paid for by the City) from the Work site. The City assumes no liability for the Contractor's failure to remove such items from the Project site(s) as required. The Contractor shall also remain liable for any liabilities and claims related to the Contractor's default. As an alternative to termination, the City may bring suit or proceedings for specific performance or for an injunction. 89. Termination for Convenience In addition to cancellation or termination as otherwise provided for in the Contract, the City may at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without cause, terminate the Contract by written notice to the Contractor. Such Written Notice shall state the date upon which the Contractor shall cease all Work under the Contract and vacate the Project site(s). The Contractor shall, upon receipt of such notice, unless otherwise directed by the City: ■ Stop all Work on the Project on the date specified in the notice (the "Effective Date"). ■ Take such action as may be necessary for the protection and preservation of the City's materials and property. ■ Cancel all cancelable orders for materials and equipment. ■ Assign to the City and deliver to the site, or any other location specified by the Project Manager, any non -cancelable orders for materials and equipment that can not otherwise be used except for Work under the Contract and have been specifically fabricated for the sole purpose of the Work and not incorporated in the Work. ■ Take no action that shall increase the amounts payable by the City under the Contract Documents; and ■ Take reasonable measures to mitigate the City's liability under the Contract Documents. ■ All charts, sketches, studies, drawings, reports, and other documents, including electronic documents, related to Work authorized under the Contract, whether finished or not, must be turned over to the City. Failure to deliver the documentation timely shall be cause to withhold any payments due without recourse by the Contractor until all documentation is delivered to the City. In the event that the City exercises its right to terminate the Contract pursuant to the Contract Documents, the City will pay the Contractor: ■ For the actual cost or the fair and reasonable value, whichever is less, of (1) the portion of the Project completed in accordance with the Contract through the completion date, and (2) non -cancelable material(s) and equipment that is not of any use to the City except in the performance of the Contract and has been specifically fabricated for the sole purpose of the Contract but not incorporated in the Work. To the extent practical, the fair and reasonable value shall be based on the price established because of the Contract.

Resolution of Disputes The Contractor understands and agrees that all disputes between the Contractor and the City based upon an alleged violation of the terms of this Agreement by the City shall be submitted for resolution in the following manner. The initial step shall be for the Contractor to notify the Project Manager in writing of the claim or dispute and submit a copy to the City of Miami personnel identified in Section 2, Article 4, "Notices." Should the Contractor and the Project Manager fail to resolve the dispute, the Contractor shall submit their dispute in writing, with all supporting documentation, to the Assistant Director of DRPW, as identified in Section 2, Article 4, "Notices." Upon receipt of said notification, the Assistant Director of DRPW shall review the issues relative to the claim or dispute and issue a written finding. Should the Contractor and the Assistant Director of DRPW fail to resolve the dispute, the Contractor shall submit their dispute in writing within five (5) calendar days to the Director of DRPW. Failure to submit such an appeal of the written finding shall constitute acceptance of the finding by the Contractor. Upon receipt of said notification, the Director of DRPW shall review the issues relative to the claim or dispute and issue a written finding. The Contractor must submit any further appeal in writing within five (5) calendar days to the City Manager. Failure to submit such an appeal of the written finding shall constitute acceptance of the finding by the Contractor. Appeal to the City Manager for the resolution, is required prior to the Contractor being entitled to seek judicial relief in connection therewith. Should the amount of compensation hereunder exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the City Manager's decision shall be approved or disapproved by the City Commission. The Contractor shall not be entitled to seek judicial relief unless: ■ It has first received City Manager's written decision, approved by the City Commission if applicable; or ■ A period of sixty (60) calendar days has expired after submitting to the City Manager a detailed statement of the dispute, accompanied by all supporting documentation, or a period of ninety (90) calendar days has expired where City Manager's decision is subject to City Commission for approval; or ■ City has waived compliance with the procedure set forth in this Article by written instrument(s) signed by the City Manager. In the event the determination of a dispute under this Article is unacceptable to either party hereto, the party objecting to the determination must notify the other party in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the written determination. The notice must state the basis of the objection and must be accompanied by a statement that any Contract price or Contract time adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the objecting party has reason to believe it is entitled to as a result of the determination. Within sixty (60) calendar days after Final Completion of the Work, the parties shall participate in mediation to address all objections to any determinations hereunder and to attempt to prevent litigation. The mediator shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Should any objection not be resolved in mediation, the parties retain all their legal rights and remedies provided under State law. If a party fails to timely take the written objection, as provided, in fourteen (14) calendar days, then such party objecting to a determination NW 13th Street Improvements ITB No. 23-24-034 specifically waives all of its rights provided hereunder, including its rights and remedies under State law, if said party fails to comply in strict accordance with the requirements of this Article. 91.

The Contractor agrees to include similar Contract provisions with all subcontractors retained for the Work, thereby providing for non -binding mediation as the primary mechanism for dispute resolution. In an effort to expedite the conclusion of any litigation, the parties voluntarily waive their right to jury trial or to file permissive counterclaims in any action arising under this Contract. In any mediation or litigation between the Parties, each Party shall bear their own attorney's fees except that Contractor shall pay all attorney's fees of all attorneys it has engaged to defend the City pursuant the Contractor's duty to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City pursuant to Section 2, Article 6, "Indemnification." 92.

The City's rights and remedies as set forth in the Contract Documents are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies in law or in equity. 93. Permits, Licenses, and Impact Fees All applicable permit fees, including those assessed by the City, are the responsibility of the Contractor.
