Any request for a change in the Time for Completion due to Force Majeure Events, as defined
below, or any other delay, shall be made by written notice by Development Manager to the Project Manager
within the timeframe set forth in Section 35 below. 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 City allows an additional period of time to
ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim and such notice shall be accompanied by Development
Manager's written notarized statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the
Development Manager has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event.
The Time for Completion will be extended in an amount equal to time lost on critical Construction
Work items due to delays resulting directly from Force Majeure Events.
35. CHANGES IN THE WORK OR TERMS OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Without invalidating the Agreement 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 Construction Work as may be considered necessary or desirable to complete fully and acceptably the
proposed construction in a satisfactory manner. Any extra or additional work within the scope of this
Project must be issued in writing in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.
Any changes to the terms of the Contract Documents must be contained in a written document,
executed by the parties hereto, with the same formality and of equal dignity prior to the initiation of any
Construction Work reflecting such change. This Article shall not prohibit the issuance of Change Orders
executed only by City as hereinafter provided.
36. FORCE MAIEURE
Should any failure to perform on the part of Development Manager be due to a Force Majeure
Event, then the City shall allow an extension of time reasonably commensurate with the cause of such
failure to perform or cure.
44
If the Development Manager is delayed in performing any obligation under this Agreement due
to a Force Majeure Event , the Development Manager shall request a time extension from the City within
seven (7) working days of the conclusion of said Force Majeure Event. Any time extension shall be subject
to mutual agreement and shall not be cause for any claim by the Development Manager for extra
compensation.
37. FIELD DIRECTIVES
The City's Project Manager may at times issue Field Directives to the Development Manager based
on visits to the Project site. Such Field Directives shall be issued in writing and the Development Manager
shall be required to comply with such reasonable directives. Where the Development Manager believes
that the directive is outside the scope of the Construction Work or unreasonable, the Development Manager
shall, within 48 hours, advise the City's Project Manager that the Field Directive is either unreasonable
and/or outside the scope of the Work. At that time the Field Directive may be rescinded, or the
Development Manager may be required to submit a request for a change order proposal. Where the
Development Manager is notified of the City's position that the Field Directive is within the scope and/or
reasonable and the Development Manager disagrees, the Development Manager shall notify the City's
Project Manager that the Development Manager reserves the right to make a claim for the time and monies
based on the Field Directive. At no time shall the Development Manager unreasonably refuse to comply
with the directive. Failure to reasonably comply with the directive may result in a determination that the
Development Manager is in default of the Agreement.
38. CHANGE ORDERS
Changes in the quantity or character of the Construction Work of the Project which are not properly
the subject of field directives or supplemental instructions, including all changes resulting in changes in
the contract price or time shall be authorized only by change orders approved in advance by City and
Development Manager and issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
All changes to Work must be approved in advance in accordance with the value of the change
order or the calculated value of the time extension. All change orders increasing the value of the Agreement
by $50,000 or more shall be approved in advance by the City Commission. All change orders increasing
the value of the Agreement by less than $50,000 in the aggregate may be approved in advance by the City
Manager or his designee.
39. VALUE OF CHANGE ORDER WORK
The value of any Work to be covered by a change order, or for any claim for an increase or decrease
in the Agreement, shall be determined in one of the following ways:
• Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Schedule of Values, by
application of unit prices to the quantities of items involved.
• By mutual acceptance of a lump sum which Development Manager and City acknowledge
contains a component for overhead and profit.
45
40. INSPECTION OF WORK
The City shall at all times have access to the Construction Work during normal work hours.
Inspectors sent in the City's proprietary capacity shall have no authority to permit deviations from, or to
relax any of the provisions of the Contract Documents or to delay the Construction Work by failure to
inspect the materials and Construction Work with reasonable promptness without the written permission
or instruction of City. The foregoing shall not serve to limit the City's regulatory authority as set forth under
applicable laws.
The payment of any compensation, whatever may be its character or form, or the giving of any
gratuity or the granting of any favor by Development Manager to any inspector, directly or indirectly, is
strictly prohibited, and any such ad on the part of Development Manager will constitute a breach of this
Agreement.
41. SUBMITTALS
All submittals for the Work shall be completed by the Architect/Engineer ("A/E").
City shall not be liable for any materials, fabrication of products or other Work commenced that
requires submittals until the City has returned approved submittals to the Contractor.
City shall make every effort to review submittals within ten (10) calendar days from the date of
receipt by the City. City's review shall only be for conformance with design concepts and the information
provided in the Contract Documents. The approval of a separate item shall not constitute approval of an
assembly in which the item functions. The City shall return the shop drawings to the Development
Manager for its use and distribution.
Approval of any submittal shall not relieve the Development Manager and Contractor of any
responsibility for any deviations from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless the
Development Manager has given written notice to the City of the specific deviations and the City has issued
written approval of such deviations.
Development Manager shall be responsible for the distribution of all shop drawings, copies of
product data and samples, which bear the A/E and City's stamp of approval. Distribution shall include, but
not be limited to: job site file, record documents file, sub -contractors, suppliers, and other affected
contractors or entities that require the information.

or noncompliance with the Contract Documents.
If the Shop Drawings show or indicate departures from the Contract Documents' requirements,
Development Manager, through the Contractor shall make specific mention thereof in its letter of
transmittal. Failure to point out such departures shall not relieve Development Manager from its
responsibility to comply with the Contract Documents.
City shall review and approve Shop Drawings within ten (10) calendar days from the date received,
unless said Shop Drawings are rejected by City for material reasons. City's approval of Shop Drawings will
be general and shall not relieve Development Manager of responsibility for the accuracy of such Shop
Drawings, nor for the proper fitting and construction of the work, nor for the furnishing of materials or
work required by the Contract Documents and not indicated on the Shop Drawings. No work called for by
Shop Drawings shall be performed until the said Shop Drawings have been approved by City. Approval
shall not relieve Development Manager from responsibility for errors or omissions of any sort on the Shop
Drawings.
No approval will be given to partial submittals of Shop Drawings for items which interconnect
and/or are interdependent where necessary to properly evaluate the design. It is Development Manager's,
through the Contractor, responsibility to assemble the Shop Drawings for all such interconnecting and/or
interdependent items, check them and then make one submittal to City along with its comments as to
compliance, noncompliance, or features requiring special attention.
If catalog sheets or prints of manufacturers' standard drawings are submitted as Shop Drawings,
any additional information or changes on such drawings shall be typewritten or lettered in ink.
Each shop drawing shall be clear, thoroughly detailed and shall have listed on it all Contract

During the Construction Work, Development Manager, through the Contractor shall maintain
records of all deviations from the Drawings and Specifications as approved by the City and prepare As -
Built Record Drawings showing correctly and accurately all changes and deviations made during
construction to reflect the work as it was actually constructed. It is the responsibility of the Development
Manager, through 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

be turned over to the City. The Development Manager shall be paid for Construction Work performed and
accepted by the City, provided that said documentation is turned over to City within twenty (20) business

or fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, then Development Manager shall be in default. Upon
the occurrence of a default which is not cured within the Cure Period, in addition to all remedies available
to it by law, the City may immediately, upon written notice to Development Manager, terminate this
Agreement. The City may also suspend any payment or part thereof or order a Work stoppage until such
time as the issues concerning compliance are resolved. Development Manager understands and agrees that
termination of this Agreement under this Article shall not release Development Manager from any
obligation accruing prior to the effective date of termination.
In the event of termination due to default, in addition to the foregoing Development Manager shall
be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by the City in the procurement of the Construction Work under
this Agreement. In the event of Default, the City may also issue a Notice to Cure and suspend or withhold

Contract Documents is substantial and important to the formation of this Agreement.
The parties failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such

not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach and shall not be construed to be a modification of the
terms of this Agreement.
51. ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT

shall, upon certificate of City's Project Manager, and without terminating the Agreement, 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 unknown claims.
The making of and acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by
Development Manager and the City, except to the extent such claims are a result of Development
Manager's failure to comply with the obligations set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to
those identified by Development Manager or the City as unsettled at the time of the application for final
payment.
52. RESOLUTION OF CONTRACT DISPUTE
Development Manager understands and agrees that all disputes between it and the City based

may move to stay the action to allow the Development Manager to comply with the conditions precedent
to litigation as set forth in this Agreement.
53. MEDIATION — WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
In an effort to engage in a cooperative effort to resolve conflict which may arise during the course
of the design and/or construction of the Project, and/or following the completion of the Project, the parties
to this Agreement agree all unresolved disputes between them shall be submitted to non -binding
mediation prior to the initiation of litigation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties. A certified

The Construction Work shall be substantially complete when the City's Project Manager, in the
reasonable exercise of his/her discretion determines that the Construction Work is complete, there are no
material and/or substantial variations from the Agreement, and the Construction Work is fit for its intended
purpose. City's Project Manager shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval. Upon Substantial
Completion, City's Project Manager and the Development Manager shall sign the Substantial Completion
Inspection Form. The signing of this form shall not relieve the Development Manager from its obligation
to complete the Project.
When the Development Manager believes that the Construction Work is substantially complete,
the Development Manager shall request in writing that the City inspect the Construction Work to
determine if Substantial Completion has been achieved. No request for Substantial Completion inspection
is to be submitted until the Development Manager has obtained a Certificate(s) of Occupancy, Certificate
of Completion, or other equivalent. The City shall schedule the date and time for any inspection and notify
the Development Manager and any other parties deemed necessary. During this inspection, the Project
Substantial Completion Inspection Form, (Attachment B), 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,
(Attachment C), shall be signed by the City's Project Manager and the Development Manager confirming
that the Punch List contains the item(s) necessary to complete the Construction Work. The failure or refusal
of the Development Manager to sign the Project Substantial Completion Inspection Form or Punch List
shall not relieve the Development Manager from complying with the reasonable 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
Construction Work is substantially complete subject to completion of the Punch List. Where the City
determines, on the appropriate form that the Construction Work is not substantially complete, the City
shall provide a list of all open items necessary to achieve Substantial Completion. Upon completion of such
Construction Work, the Development Manager shall request another Substantial Completion inspection.

Attachment D which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion. Once substantial completion is
achieved the City shall be responsible for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Project site,
and insurance; and shall list all Construction 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 Development Manager to complete all of the Construdion Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence
on the date of Substantial completion of the Construction Work or designated portion thereof unless
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.
55. APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE OF LITIGATION

constitute an assignment or sale hereunder requiring prior City approval.

City's consent shall be null and void. The Development Manager shall have no recourse from such
cancellation. The City may require bonding, other security, certified financial statements and tax returns
from any proposed assignee and the execution of an assignment/assumption agreement in a form
53
satisfactory to the City Attorney as a condition precedent to considering approval of an assignment.
