Projects scheduled to commence during the Work that may require coordination. The Contractor shall
be responsible for coordinating the Work with any other Project to minimize any potential adverse impact.
Contractor shall not be entitled to any days of delay for failure to properly coordinate the Work. The
Project Manager will assist the Contractor in coordinating the Work; however, the sole responsibility for
coordination rests with the Contractor.
If any part of Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the Work of any other
persons, Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the City any defects in such Work that render it
unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Contractor's failure to so inspect and report shall
constitute an acceptance of the other person's Work as fit and proper for the reception of Contractor's
Work, except as to defects that may develop in other Contractor's Work after the execution of Contractor's
Work. Contractor shall conduct its operations and take all reasonable steps to coordinate the prosecution
of the Work so as to create no interference or impact on any other Contractor on the site. Should such

the Work does not impact any ongoing operations at Project site(s), which also includes the delivery of
any materials and equipment. Access to and egress from the Project site(s) shall be coordinated with
the Project Manager and the Consultant to minimize interference to regular and emergency operations
of the facility. Contractor may be required to coordinate the Work with other Contractors performing Work
at the Project site.
I n the event that during the course of the Work Contractor encounters subsurface or concealed conditions
at the Project site(s) which differ materially from those shown in the Contract Documents and from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in Work of the character called for in the
Contract Documents; or unknown physical conditions of the Project site(s), of an unusual nature, which
differ materially from that ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in Work of the
character called for in the Contract Documents, Contractor, without disturbing the conditions and before
performing any Work affected by such conditions, shall, within twenty-four (24) hours of their discovery,
notify the City in writing of the existence of the aforesaid conditions. The City shall, within two (2) business
days after receipt of Contractor's written notice, investigate the site conditions identified by Contractor.
SW 64"' Court Roadway and Drainage 31 ITB No. 17-18-024
Improvements, D4 — B-30972
If, in the sole opinion of the City, the conditions do materially so differ and cause an increase or decrease
in Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the Work, whether or not
charged as a result of the conditions, the City shall recommend an equitable adjustment to the Contract
Documents Price or Contract Documents Time, or both. If the City and Contractor cannot agree on an
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time, the adjustment shall be referred to the Director for
determination. Should the Director determine that the conditions of the Project site(s) are not so
materially different to justify a change in the terms of the Contract Documents, the Director shall so notify
the Project Manager, Consultant, and Contractor in writing, stating the reasons, and such determination
shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
No request by Contractor for an equitable adjustment to the Contract Documents under this provision
shall be allowed unless Contractor has given written notice and otherwise fully documented altering site
conditions in strict accordance with the provisions of this Article. No request for an equitable adjustment
or change to the Contract price or Contract time for differing site conditions shall be allowed if made after
the date certified by the City as the date of substantial completion.
31. Existing Utilities
Known utilities and structures adjacent to or encountered in the Work will be shown on the Drawings.
The locations shown are taken from existing records and the best information available from existing
plans and utility investigations; however, it is expected that there may be some discrepancies and
omissions in the locations and quantities of utilities and structures shown. Those shown are for the
convenience of the Contractor only, and no responsibility is assumed by the City for their accuracy or
completeness. No request for additional compensation or Contract time resulting from encountering
utilities not shown will be considered. The Contractor shall explore sufficiently ahead of the Work to allow
time for any necessary adjustments. The Contractor must coordinate all underground utility locations
through "Sunshine State One Call of Florida, Inc.," who shall be contacted a minimum of forty-eight (48)
hours before the Contractor commences any digging. The Contractor is responsible for removing all
utility markings once the Work is completed. Final payment to the Contractor may be withheld until the
utility marks are removed.
32. Contractor's Responsibility for Utility Properties and Service
Where the Contractor's operations could cause damage or inconvenience to railway, telephone, fiber
optic, television, electrical power, oil, gas, water, sewer, or irrigation systems, the Contractor shall make
all arrangements necessary for the protection of these utilities and services or any other known utilities.
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 their 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.

During the process of the Work, it is expected that minor relocations of the Work may be necessary.
Such relocations shall be made only by the direction of the Project Manager at the Contractor's expense.
If existing structures are encountered that will prevent construction as shown, the Contractor shall notify
the Project Manager before continuing with the Work in order that the City may make such field revisions
as necessary to avoid conflict with the existing structures. Where the Contractor fails to notify the Project
Manager when an existing structure is encountered, and proceeds with the Work despite this
interference, the Contractor does so at their own risk.
35. Contractor's Use of Project Site(s)
Limitations may be placed on the Contractor's use of the Project site(s) and such limitations will be
identified by the Project Manager. In addition to such limitations, the Project Manager may make storage
available to the Contractor, at his sole discretion, based on availability of space. The Contractor shall
also coordinate and schedule deliveries so as to minimize disruptions to City day-to-day operations.
The Contractor shall limit its use of the Project site(s), so as to allow for the City's continuous operation.

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 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 Contractor.
If Contractor wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, 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 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
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 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, 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 EOR 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 judges 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 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.
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.
Contractor is responsible to coordinate the set of drawings with all trades to ensure that the Work will be
performed correctly and coordinated among the trades. 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.
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

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

54. Continuing the Work
Contractor shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress schedule during all disputes or
disagreements with City, including disputes or disagreements concerning a request for a Change Order,
a request for a change in the Contract price or Contract time for completion. The Work shall not be
delayed or postponed pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements.
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 City, 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 Contractor's
agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Change Order for determining the
proposed adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time.
On approval of any Contract change increasing the Contract Price, Contractor shall ensure that the
performance bond and payment bond (if applicable) are increased so that each reflects the total Contract
Price as increased.
Under circumstances determined necessary by City, Change Orders may be issued unilaterally by City.
The City reserves the right to order changes which may result in additions to or reductions from the
amount, type, or value of the Work shown in the Contract and which are within the general scope of the
Contract Documents. Any such changes will be known as "Extra Work."
No Extra Work shall be performed except pursuant to written orders of the 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.
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 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,
SW 64th Court Roadway and Drainage 41 ITB No. 17-18-024
Improvements, D4 — B-30972
labor rates by trade, and Work classification and overhead rates in support of Contractor's Change
Proposal Request. The Contractor's Change Proposal Request must include any schedule revisions and
an explanation of the cost and schedule impact of the Extra Work on the Project. If the Contractor fails
to notify the City of the schedule changes associated with the Extra Work, it will be deemed an
acknowledgment by Contractor that the proposed Extra Work will not have any scheduling
consequences. The Contractor agrees the Change Proposal Request will in no event include a combined
profit and overhead rate in excess of ten 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 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 Chancres
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.

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 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).
K!=4 ffLj. ■
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 inspect the Work to determine if Substantial Completion has been achieved. No
request for Substantial Completion inspection is to be submitted until the Contractor has obtained a
Certificate(s) of Occupancy, Certificate of Completion or Completion or a Temporary Certificate of
Occupancy or any other approvals from agencies having jurisdiction over the Work. The City shall
schedule the date, 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
SW 64th Court Roadway and Drainage 46 ITB No. 17-18-024
Improvements, D4 — B-30972
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 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 Contractor
to complete all of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Warranties required by the
Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Final Acceptance completion of the Work or
designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.
64. Acceptance and Final Payment
Upon receipt of written notice from Contractor that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance,
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 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, 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.
Contractor shall deliver the written Contractor's and all Manufacturer's warranties prior to issuance of the
Final Certificate for Payment.
If, after the Work has been substantially completed, full completion thereof is materially delayed through
no fault of Contractor, and 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 Contractor, except those
previously made in strict accordance with the provisions of the Contract and identified by Contractor as
unsettled at the time of the application for final payment.
MINKEN994L -•
Contractor shall comply with the State of Florida rules and regulations for the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) including but not limited to all permitting, Notices of Intent, and the Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). All costs for NPDES and SWPPP shall be included in the bid
prices. For further information on compliance requirements for NPDES and SWPPP contact the City of
Miami Public Works Department at (305) 416-1200 or visit the State of Florida website at
http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/stormwater/npdes/. Contractor is responsible for obtaining, completing,
and paying for any required NPDES application or permits that may be required.
66. Force Maieure
Should any failure to perform on the part of Contractor be due to a condition of force majeure as that term
is interpreted under Florida law, 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
SW 64th Court Roadway and Drainage 47 ITB No. 17-18-024
Improvements, D4 — B-30972
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;
■ 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 Contractor in default.
SW 6411 Court Roadway and Drainage 48 ITB No. 17-18-024
Improvements, D4 — B-30972
Any claim for a change in the Contract Time or Contract Price shall be made by written notice by
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
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
70, "No Damages for Delay," if City and Contractor cannot otherwise agree. It is expressly and
specifically agreed that any and all claims for changes to the Contract time or Contract price shall be
waived if not submitted in strict accordance with the requirements of this Article.
The Contract time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost on critical Work items due to delays
beyond the control of and through no fault or negligence of Contractor if a claim is made therefore as
provided in this Article. Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by any separate
Contractor employed by City, fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, or
acts of God.
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.
No claim for damages or any claim, other than for an extension of time, shall be made or asserted against
City by reason of any delays except as provided herein. Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase
in the Contract price or payment or compensation of any kind from City for direct, indirect, consequential,
impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or
inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference or hindrance from any cause whatsoever,
whether such delay, disruption, interference or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable
or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable; provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude
recovery of damages by Contractor for actual delays due solely to fraud, bad faith or active interference
on the part of City. Otherwise, Contractor shall be entitled only to extensions of the Contract Time for
completion of the Work as the sole and exclusive remedy for such resulting delay, in accordance with
and to the extent specifically provided above. 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. Contractor shall not receive monetary
compensation for City delay. Time extensions may be authorized, in writing, by the City in certain
situations.
71. Excusable Delay, Non -Compensable
Excusable Delay is (i) caused by circumstances beyond the control of Contractor, its Subcontractors,
suppliers and vendors, and is also caused by circumstances beyond the control of the City or Consultant,
or (ii) is caused jointly or concurrently by Contractor or its Subcontractors, suppliers or vendors and by
the City or Consultant. Then Contractor shall be entitled only to a time extension and no compensation
for the delay.
SW 64�h Court Roadway and Drainage 49 ITB No. 17-18-024
Improvements, D4 — B-30972
Contractor is entitled to a time extension of the Contract time for each day the Work is delayed due to
Excusable Delay. Contractor shall document its claim for any time extension as provided in Article 68,
"Notification of Claim," hereof.
Failure of Contractor to comply with Article 68, "Notification of Claim" hereof as to any particular event of
delay shall be deemed conclusively to constitute a waiver, abandonment, or relinquishment of any and
all claims resulting from that particular event of delay.
72. Lines and Grades
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, Contractor shall promptly either correct all defective Work or remove
such defective Work and replace it with Work in conformity with the Contract Documents. Contractor
shall bear all direct, indirect, and consequential costs of such removal or corrections including cost of
testing laboratories and personnel.
Should Contractor fail or refuse to remove or correct any defective Work or to make any necessary repairs
in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents within the time indicated in writing by
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 Contractor's expense. Any expense incurred by City in making
such removals, corrections or repairs, shall be paid for out of any monies due or which may become due
to Contractor, or may be charged against the Performance Bond. In the event of failure of Contractor to
make all necessary repairs promptly and fully, City may declare Contractor in default.
If, within one (1) year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be
prescribed by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, or by
any specific provision of the Contract, any of the Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with
the Contract Documents, Contractor, after receipt of written notice from 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 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.
The Project Manager's, Inspector's, and/or Consultant's right to make inspections shall include the right
to order the Contractor to uncover or take down portions of finished Work. The 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 cost, in connection with such uncovering, taking down, replacing, and restoration at the Project
site.

to conform to the Contract Documents, whether observed before or after Substantial Completion and
whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor shall bear all cost of correcting such
rejected Work, including the cost of the City's additional services thereby made necessary.
The Contractor further agrees that after being notified in writing by the Project Manager 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

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 Contractor's defective or incorrect Work, unsafe Work
conditions caused by the Contractor or any other reason caused by 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.
81. Use of Completed Portions
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 increases the cost of or delays the Work, Contractor shall be
SW 64th Court Roadway and Drainage 53 ITB No. 17-18-024
Improvements, D4 — B-30972
entitled to reasonable extra compensation, or reasonable extension of time or both, as determined by the
City.

following shall occur:
• City shall give notice to Contractor in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to City's
intended occupancy of a designated area.
• 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.

responsibility for maintenance, utilities, subsequent damages of City and public, adjustment
of insurance coverage, and start of warranty for the occupied area.
■ 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 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. Consent of Contractor and of the insurance
company or companies to such occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld.
82. Cleaning Up; City's Right to Clean Up
c
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, 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
Contractor fails to clean up during the prosecution of the Work or at the completion of the Work, City may
do so, and the cost thereof shall be charged to Contractor. If a dispute arises between 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.
In case of termination of this Contract before completion for any cause whatsoever, Contractor, if notified
to do so by the City, shall promptly remove any part or all of Contractor's equipment and supplies from
the property of City. If the Contractor does not comply with City's order, the City shall have the right to
remove such equipment and supplies at the expense of Contractor.
84. 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

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 3, 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 OCI, as identified
in Section 3, Article 4, "Notices." Upon receipt of said notification, the Assistant Director of OCI shall
review the issues relative to the claim or dispute and issue a written finding.
Should the Contractor and the Assistant Director of OCI fail to resolve the dispute, the Contractor shall
submit their dispute in writing within five (5) calendar days to the Director of OCI. Failure to submit such
appeal of the written finding shall constitute acceptance of the finding by the Contractor. Upon receipt of
said notification, the Director of OCI shall review the issues relative to the claim or dispute and issue a
written finding.
Contractor must submit any further appeal in writing within five (5) calendar days to the City Manager.
Failure to submit such 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 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. Contractor shall not be entitled to seek judicial relief unless:
(i) it has first received City Manager's written decision, approved by the City Commission if
applicable; or

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 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.

construed to be a modification of the terms of the Contract Documents.
