for the performance of this Agreement and the Construction Project, the amount of
Twenty Two Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($22,400).

C. City shall retain five percent (5%) of the total amount of compensation to
be paid to the Contractor to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the timely completion of the Construction Project and any and all "punch

consideration, Contractor shall and hereby does release and forever discharge City, its
officers, agents, and employees of and from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes

in equity, whether now known or in the future discovered, arising from or related to this
Agreement or the Construction Project that Contractor may have or assert against City, its
officers, agents, and employees.
6. Inspection and Testing:
a. City has the right to inspect and test any and all work performed by
Contractor on the Construction Project. Contractor shall allow City and its agents access
to the Construction Project at all times and shall provide every reasonable facility for the
purpose of such inspection and testing, including temporarily discontinuing portions of
the work or uncovering or taking down portions of the finished work. Any inspection
and testing performed by the City and its agents is for the sole benefit of the City and
shall not relieve the Contractor of its duty, responsibility, and obligation to ensure that the
work strictly complies with the Agreement terms and conditions and all applicable laws
and building and safety codes. City's inspection and testing shall not be deemed or

Page 2 of 15
inspection and testing shall not serve to nullify, amend, or waive any warranties provided
by the Contractor under this Agreement.
b. Contractor shall, without charge, replace any material or correct any work
found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the

occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor's
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City's use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a
change in the Contractor's compensation. Contractor's warranties shall run from the completion
of the total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected
portions of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise
interfere with Contractor's performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction
Project. Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party
under contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the
construction site, a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and
equipment, the opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the
Contractor's work on the Construction Project with the related work.

acceptance by the City of the Construction Project, regardless of whether such
equipment, materials, or labor were supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by
Contractor's subcontractors or suppliers. Other express warranties on materials that
provide for a warranty period longer than one year apply for the period of that express
warranty and are not reduced by this provision. Upon receipt of City's written notice of a
defective or nonconforming condition during the warranty period, Contractor shall take
all actions, including redesign and replacement, to correct the defective or
nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the City and at no additional
cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform any tests required by City
to verify that such defective or nonconforming condition has been corrected. Contractor
warrants the corrective action taken against defective and nonconforming conditions for a
period of an additional one (1) year from the date of City's acceptance of the corrective
action.

performance of all warranties.

lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose
at all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor's risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of
the reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss
be caused by an intentional or negligent act of the City, the risk of such loss shall be
placed on the City.

other articles used or held for use in the completion of performance of the Construction
Project.

operation of existing machinery or equipment.

Contractor's compensation by City, whether directly incorporated into the Construction
Project or not, passes to City at the time of payment, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.

cause of the delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a
result of the fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration
of the delay and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the
delay is caused by the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor's performance,
Contractor shall make no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of
time as herein provided by reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience
for any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed
on the Construction Project ("Notice of Suspension"). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor's receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or
subcontracts for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable
effort to obtain suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and
rental agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended;
and (4) continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which

Construction Project has increased or decreased.
d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
("Notice to Resume Work"), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit
a revised Construction Schedule for the City's review and approval. Contractor's failure
to timely make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no
extension of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension
results from Contractor's non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of
this Agreement.

materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.

be entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of

Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor's compensation exceeds the cost to the
City of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third
parties retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative
costs resulting from the termination ("City's Cost for Completion"), such excess shall be
paid to the Contractor. If the City's Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of
the Contractor's compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and
shall pay the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
