applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and ordinances.
B. The City analyzed all responses to the request for price quotations received
pursuant to its standard practices and the requirements of all applicable statutes, rules,
regulations, and ordinances.
C. The City therefore awards the bid to Contractor, pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, agreements, representations,
and warranties contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
Agreement
1. Work to be Performed:
a. A description of the Construction Project and Contractor’s duties is set
forth in the Invitation to Bid and Bid Form as awarded and accepted by City and the
Construction Documents for the [SANDAN PARK PICNIC SHELTER, 3125
SAVANNAH STREET, 59718], which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference, and the drawings, plans, and specifications provided by the City and its
architects and engineers. Where a provision of any other portion of the Construction
Documents conflicts with this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall control.
b. Prior to the commencement of any work on the Construction Project,
Contractor’s representatives and City’s representatives shall hold a meeting to establish a
working understanding among the parties as to the scope of the Construction Project and
duties of the Contractor. At this meeting, Contractor and City shall resolve any
outstanding issues related to the plans, designs, drawings, and specifications. If the parties
are unable to resolve these issues and the City fails, refuses, or is unable to approve the
same, no work shall commence on the Construction Project until such issues are resolved
and the City approves the related plans, designs, drawings, and specifications.
53

Version 12 14 15
c. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Contractor shall furnish
all the labor, materials, equipment, tools, and services necessary to perform and complete
the Construction Project. The Contractor’s Bid Form is attached here and incorporated
into this Agreement as Exhibit B.
d. During work on the Construction Project, and as part of the final
completion of the Construction Project, Contractor shall clean up the Project site,
including the removal and satisfactory disposal of all waste, garbage, excess materials,
equipment, temporary buildings, the removal or grading of all embankments made for
construction purposes, the filling in of all excavations, and the performance of any other
work necessary to restore the site to at least as good order and condition as at the
commencement of the Construction Project.
2. City-Supplied Materials: The City may supply materials from time to time in
furtherance of the Construction Project. Such materials will be noted as an addendum to this
Agreement.
3. Time of Performance:
a. Contractor shall begin the Construction Project after receiving a Notice to
Proceed from City and shall complete the Construction Project within seventy (70) days
(10 weeks) of the starting date stated in the Notice to Proceed. After receiving the “Notice
to Proceed” from the City Contractor shall develop a Construction Schedule for approval
by the City which shall become part of this Agreement. Time is of the essence of
completion of all work and each phase of the Construction Project.
b. The Construction Schedule is subject to the City’s approval. Contractor’s
construction plan, methods of operation, materials used, and individuals and
subcontractors employed (collectively “Contractor’s Resources”) are subject to the City’s
approval at all times during the term of this Agreement, and must be such as to ensure the
completion of the work in compliance with the deadlines set in the Construction Schedule
during the term of this Agreement. In the event the City determines the Contractor’s
Resources are inadequate to meet the approved Construction Schedule, the City may order
the Contractor to accelerate its performance to give reasonable assurances of timely
completion and quality results. Acceleration under this section shall not be deemed a
Change Order as defined in Section 5.b. (“Compensation”) below and the Contractor shall
receive no equitable adjustment for such acceleration. Nothing in this section shall be
interpreted to relieve the Contractor of its duties and responsibilities to plan for and
complete the work in a timely manner according to the Construction Schedule.
4. Liquidated Damages: If the Construction Project is not completed within the
time provided by this Agreement, the City may deduct for each day the Construction Project
remains uncompleted the sum of $50 from the compensation hereinafter specified and retain that
sum as payment for liquidated damages sustained by reason of the Contractor’s failure to
complete the Construction Project on time.
54
Page 3 of 28
Version 12 14 15
5. Compensation:
a. City shall pay to Contractor, and Contractor shall accept as full payment for
the performance of this Agreement and the Construction Project, the amount not to
exceed $64,665.30 subject to Change Orders as approved by both parties, and in
accordance with Exhibit C.
b. If work not included within the original Construction Documents is
requested by City, such additional work and the related compensation shall be agreed to
in writing by both parties prior to commencement of the additional work (“Change
Order”) pursuant to the Exhibit D - Change of Work Specifications set forth attached
hereto.
c. Monthly progress payments and final payment will be made only in
accordance with the terms of a completed Compensation Schedule to be approved by the
City’s Representative. All invoices must be submitted to the City’s Representative.
d. 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
list” items (“Retainage Amount”). The Retainage Amount shall be paid to Contractor
thirty (30) days after the City’s final acceptance of the portion of work for which a
separate price is stated in the specifications for the Construction Project.
e. Upon acceptance of final payment and for other good and valuable
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
of action, obligations, and liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever, in law and
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
55
Page 4 of 28
Version 12 14 15
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
considered acceptance by the City of any portion of the Construction Project. City’s
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
terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct
any defective work or materials after reasonable written notice by the City to do so, the
City may take such corrective action, either with its own materials and employees or by
retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective
action from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
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. Contractor shall still be required to
conduct any final testing of the portions in the possession of the City. 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.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials
and equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.
b. All workmanship and materials shall be of a kind and nature acceptable to
the City.
56
Page 5 of 28
Version 12 14 15
c. All equipment, materials, and labor provided to, on, or for the
Construction Project must be free of defects and nonconformities in design, materials, and
workmanship for a minimum period beginning with the commencement of the work on
the Construction Project and ending one (1) calendar year from the final completion and
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.
d. Contractor and its sureties are liable for the satisfaction and full
performance of all warranties.
e. Contractor shall give its personal attention to the faithful prosecution of the
completion of the Construction Project and Contractor, or its duly authorized
representative assigned to serve as the Construction Project Manager, shall be personally
present at the site of the Construction Project during working hours for the term of this
Agreement until the completion of the Construction Project.
f. Contractor shall have a complete, accurate, and up-to-date set of
construction plans, drawings, and specifications on site at all times.
g. Contractor has examined all available records and made field
examinations of the site of the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the
field conditions to be encountered during the Construction Project. Contractor has
knowledge of the types and character of equipment necessary for the work, the types of
materials needed and the sources of such materials, and the condition of the local labor
market.
h. Contractor is responsible for the safety of the work and shall maintain all
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
57
Page 6 of 28
Version 12 14 15
be caused by an intentional or negligent act of the City, the risk of such loss shall be
placed on the City.
j. Contractor is responsible for any loss or damage to materials, tools, or
other articles used or held for use in the completion of performance of the Construction
Project.
k. Contractor’s performance must be without damage or disruption to any
other work or property of the City or of others and without interference with the operation
of existing machinery or equipment.
l. Title to all work, materials, and equipment covered by any payment of
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.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any
such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the 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
work has been suspended.
58
Page 7 of 28
Version 12 14 15
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed
for the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the
extent that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid
during the period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for
keeping, to the extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and
equipment committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs
for the demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an
equitable amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project
during the period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing
the remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension,
the cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the
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.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall
be entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of
a lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
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
59
Page 8 of 28
Version 12 14 15
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.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.
d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under
no circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost
business opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or
lost profits damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the
termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the
City, make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any
claims that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred
costs for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that
any materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s
sole property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost
business opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or
lost profits damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the
termination.

expressly waives any right to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost
business opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or
lost profits damages of any nature or kind.
b. In the event Contractor wants to assert a claim for damages of any kind or
nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and
circumstances surrounding and giving rise to the claim, and the total amount of damages
sought by the claim, within ten (10) days of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the

EXHIBIT C
Compensation Schedule
Contractor shall not demand or be entitled to receive payment for any work on the
Construction Project, in whole or in part, except in the manner set forth herein.
Monthly Progress Payments
A. After the commencement of work on the Construction Project, the Contractor may
request monthly progress payments by submitting an Application for Payment to the City’s
Representative during each successive calendar month, with a copy to the project architect or
engineer. The Application for Payment must be based upon the actual or estimated percentage of
work completed and materials supplied on the Construction Project prior to the date of the
Application and shall be filled out and signed by the Contractor on a form provided by the City.
Contractor shall attach all supporting documentation to the Application, including certified
payroll records and receipts, to verify that the work claimed in the Application has been
completed. Only one Application for Payment may be submitted within a calendar month.
B. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application shall also
include an affidavit signed by the Contractor stating that all previous monthly progress payments
received have been applied on account to discharge Contractor’s obligations associated with the
prior Applications for Payment.
C. City and its architect or engineer shall promptly review all Applications for
Payment and, within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of each Application, determine whether a
progress payment should be disapproved in whole or in part. An Application for Payment is
considered to have been received when it is submitted to City’s Representative and is considered
approved unless prior to the expiration of the 21-day period the City or its architect or engineer
provides the Contractor with a written statement containing specific items that are being
disapproved. A progress payment or any portion may be disapproved upon a claim of: (1)
unsatisfactory job progress; (2) failure to remedy defective construction work or materials; (3)
disputed work or materials; (4) failure to comply with material provisions of this Agreement,
drawings, plans, specifications for the Construction Project, or other required documents,
including but not limited to, payroll certifications, insurance coverage, bonding, lien releases,
warranties, material certifications, and test data; (5) failure of Contractor to make timely
payment for claims including, but not limited to claims for labor, equipment, materials,
subcontracts, taxes, fees, professional services, rent, and royalties; (6) damages to the City; (7)
the existence of reasonable evidence that the Agreement cannot be completed for the unpaid
balance of the Agreement’s Compensation; and (8) Contractor’s non-compliance with applicable
federal, state, and local laws, rules, and ordinances.
D. The City will furnish Contractor a written statement specifying a reason for
disapproval that is listed in Section C above for which approval of the Application for Payment or
a portion thereof is being withheld. If the City disapproves only a portion of an Application for
Payment, the remainder of the Application for Payment is considered approved.
73
Page 22 of 28
Version 12 14 15
E. If the City approves a monthly progress payment, the City shall withhold the five
percent (5%) Retainage Amount from the total payment requested in the Application for
Payment and may withhold an amount that is sufficient to pay the direct expenses that the City
may reasonably expect will be necessary to correct any claim based on the eight (8) items set out
in Section C above. City shall tender the balance of the approved monthly progress payment to
Contractor within seven (7) days following the approval.
F. Contractor understands that the Montana Public Contractors’ Gross Receipts Tax
requires all contractors or subcontractors working on a publicly funded project to pay or have
withheld from earnings one percent (1%) of the gross contract price if the public contract price,
including subcontracts attached thereto, is Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or more. If required,
the City will withhold this tax from any payment made to Contractor and will remit the amount
withheld to the Montana Department of Revenue. Contractor must withhold the tax from
payments made to subcontractors by Contractor.
G. City’s approval of any progress payment shall not operate as City’s acceptance of
any portion of the Construction Project as complete or free of defects or nonconformities, nor
shall it operate as a waiver of Contractor’s obligations under the Agreement including, but not
limited to, Contractor’s testing and warranty obligations.
Final Payment
A. Upon completion of the Construction Project, Contractor shall submit a final
Application for Payment to the City’s Representative seeking payment of the remaining balance
of Contractor’s compensation, including all retainage amounts. Contractor shall attach all
supporting documentation and receipts to the final Application for Payment to verify that the
Construction Project has been fully and finally completed in compliance with all terms and
conditions of the Agreement, including complete and legally effective releases or waivers of all
liens or encumbrances that have been filed against the Construction Project, and a consent from
all of Contractor’s sureties to final payment. In addition, Contractor shall include an affidavit
signed by the Contractor stating that all previous monthly progress payments received have been
applied on account to discharge Contractor’s obligations associated with the Construction Project
and that the prior Applications for Payment and all claims asserted by any person arising from or
related to the Construction Project have been settled or satisfied. In the event any claims have not
been settled or satisfied, the Affidavit shall contain a complete listing of such claims, the name
and address of each person making a claim, the facts and circumstances surrounding each claim,
the amount of each claim, and the efforts made to date by Contractor to resolve, settle or satisfy
each claim.
B. City and its architect or engineer shall promptly review the final Application for
Payment and, within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the request, determine whether it
should be disapproved in whole or in part. The final Application for Payment is considered to
have been received when it is submitted to City’s Representative and is considered approved
unless the City’s Representative provides the Contractor with a written statement containing
specific items that are being disapproved prior to the expiration of the 21-day period. A final
payment or any portion may be disapproved upon a claim of: (1) unsatisfactory job progress; (2)
74

Version 12 14 15
after City’s final inspection of the Construction Project, Contractor has not completed all punch
list items and failed to remedy defective construction work or materials; (3) disputed work or
materials; (4) failure to comply with material provisions of this Agreement, drawings, plans,
specifications for the Construction Project, or other required documents including, but not
limited to, payroll certifications, insurance coverage, bonding, lien releases, warranties, material
certifications, and test data; (5) failure of Contractor to make timely payment for claims
including, but not limited to, claims for labor, equipment, materials, subcontracts, taxes, fees,
professional services, rent, and royalties; (6) claims have been brought or liens have been filed
against Contractor or the City related to the Construction Project, or any such claims have not
been properly documented in Contractor’s Affidavit; (7) damage to the City; (8) Contractor has
not delivered all maintenance and operating instructions, marked-up record documents, and any
other documents relating to the Construction Project as required by City; and (9) the Contractor
is not in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and ordinances and has
not remedied the noncompliance.
C. The City’s Representative will furnish Contractor a written statement specifying a
reason for disapproval that is listed in Section B above for which approval of the final
Application for Payment or a portion thereof is being withheld. If the City disapproves only a
portion of an Application for Payment, the remainder of the Application for Payment is
considered approved.
D. Final payment is due and payable within fourteen (14) days of the City’s
Representative’s approval, but City may withhold an amount that is sufficient to pay the direct
expenses that the City may reasonably expect will be necessary to correct any claim based on the
nine (9) items set out in Section B above and any tax withholding required by law.

Security taxes applicable to said wages, Contractor’s reasonable profit, the
costs for the use of small tools and equipment not otherwise classified
under heavy equipment use, and Contractor’s general overhead expenses.
(ii) Contractor’s actual cost of materials, including actual
