FROM: Carolyn Poissant – Manager of Trails, Open Space, and Park Development Mitch Overton – Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Authorize City Manager to Sign Bid Purchase Agreement and Construction Agreement with FieldTurf for Bozeman Sports Park MEETING DATE: June 11, 2018
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the following: 1) a Bid Purchase Agreement for FieldTurf® Vertex Prime FTVTP-50 for an amount not to exceed $779,323.66 (Attachment A) and 2) a Construction Agreement for construction of dynamic base and mass grading for an amount not to exceed $796,396.58 (Attachment B) at the Bozeman Sports Park, in accordance with the approved park master plan, and authorize the city manager to sign the agreements.
BACKGROUND: Resolution No. 4521 was unanimously approved by the Commission April 14, 2014 for the allocation of Trails, Open Space and Parks (TOP) bond funding in an amount not to exceed $7,500,000 for the acquisition of park land and development of the Bozeman Sports Park Project (“Park Project”), which requires the assistance of a professional design and engineering team. The resolution allocated up to (i) $2,100,000 for the acquisition of approximately 80 acres of
park land; (ii) up to $1,788,000 for infrastructure improvements as stated in the Commission motion adopted April 7, 2014; and (iii) the remainder for park design and development. The land purchase was completed in 2014 for $2,022,413 leaving $3,689,587 for design and construction of park improvements, reserving the $1,788,000 for infrastructure. An additional $917,000 was in TOP bond funds was allocated to the project with the adoption of Commission Resolution 4844.
Commission directed the City Manager to work with the Sports Parks Foundation to develop agreements to require the Sports Parks Foundation to pay an amount equal to the City’s debt payments on a loan of up to $1,700,000 to construct sports fields and related infrastructure, including purchase of two synthetic turf fields, and allow for the Foundation to collect user fees for the Sports Park and operate the Sports Park through a user group or management agreement for
Commission approval at future dates. An RFQ for the loan was advertised and the finalization of the loan agreement is on the Commission agenda for today’s date.
The supply and construction costs for two synthetic turf fields and additional parking lot paving (“Phase 1B” of the approved Sports Park Master Plan – Attachment C) are being covered by the
aforementioned $1.7 million loan (not including the maintenance facility in the southeast corner of
the park, which will be constructed when funding becomes available).

City staff together with the Sports Parks Foundation researched the available products provided by FieldTurf® as well as other suppliers and found the products included on the attached proposal
(Exhibit A of the Bid Purchase Agreement – Attachment A) to be superior in terms of durability and ease of maintenance. FieldTurf® is a certified cooperative purchasing vendor through the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA). As such, competitive bids, including construction and mass grading, which are included in the AEPA certification, are not required (confirmed by the City’s Finance Manager).
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: Per Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Sports Park facility’s programming and day-to-day maintenance will be cooperatively managed by the Parks Department and under an Operations Agreement with the Bozeman Sports Parks Foundation.

B. The City has analyzed and accepted the price quotation submitted by the Contractor under the terms of AEPA #016-G (Exhibit H) pursuant to its standard practices and the requirements of all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and ordinances.
C. The City therefore awards the bid to the 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 CONTRACTOR’S BID FORM (Exhibit B) as awarded and accepted by City including the DETAILED GRADING PLAN prepared by DOWL dated 4/23/2018 for the
BOZEMAN SPORTS PARK ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELDS NOS. 5 -6, located at 4600
Baxter Lane, 59718 (Exhibit G) , 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
184
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.

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:

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 (n/a) from the compensation hereinafter specified and retain

complete the Construction Project on time.
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 seven hundred ninety-six thousand three hundred ninety-six and 58/100 dollars ($796,396.58) subject to Change Orders approved by both parties, 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
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
186
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.
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

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.

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 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.
188
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.
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

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
189

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
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
190
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

steps, at its own expense and without expectation of reimbursement from City, to alleviate or resolve all such labor problems or disputes.

Contractor shall furnish City with satisfactory proof that there are no outstanding debts or liens in
connection with the Construction Project.

Contractor shall immediately notify the City and shall cause the same to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after its filing.

any negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of any of the Contractor’s agents.
b. Such obligations shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity that would otherwise exist. The indemnification

jurisdiction determines the Contractor was obligated to defend the claim(s) or was obligated to indemnify the indemnitee for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof.
e. In the event of an action filed against City resulting from the City’s
performance under this Agreement, the City may elect to represent itself and incur all costs and expenses of suit.

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.
208

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)

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.
