comparing the proposals offered for the work. The Contractor agrees that,during progress of the work,
the Owner may find it advisable to omit portions of the work,to increase or decrease the quantities as
may be deemed necessary or desirable, that the actual amount of work to be done and materials to be
furnished may differ from the estimated quantities, and that the basis for payment under this contract
shall be the actual amount of work done and the materials furnished.
The Contractor agrees that he will make no claim for damages, anticipated profits or otherwise on
account of any difference which may be found between quantities of work actually done and the
estimated quantities.
MODIFICATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BID A bid may be modified or withdrawn by an
appropriate document duly executed in the manner that a Bid must be executed and delivered to the
place where Bids are to be submitted prior to the date and time for the opening of Bids,as called for in
the Invitation to Bid. Requests for modification or withdrawal must be written and must be signed in the
same manner and by the same person(s)who signed the Bid.
If,within twenty-four(24)hours after Bids are opened,any Bidder files a duly signed written notice with
OWNER and promptly thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of OWNER that there was
a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of its Bid,that Bidder may withdraw its Bid and the
Bid security will be returned. Thereafter, if the Work is rebid or negotiated, that Bidder will be
disqualified from further bidding on the Work.
ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION OF THE BIDS The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject the
Bids,or portions of Bids if denoted in the Bid as separate schedules,and to award more than one Bid or
schedule for the same Bid if any of the aforementioned combination of Bids or schedules will be in the
best interest of the Owner. The Owner reserves the right to waive irregularities in any Bid submitted,or

Bidder so requested, shall submit a list of all Subcontractors he expects to use in the work.
An experience statement with pertinent information as to similar projects and other evidence of
qualification shall be furnished for each named subcontractor,if requested by the Owner. If the Owner
or Engineer after due investigation has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor,they may,
before giving the Notice of Award,request the apparent low Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute.
7 INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
If the substitution results in an increase in the Bid, a corresponding adjustment will be made in the
contract price. If the apparent low Bidder declines to make any such substitution,the contract may not
be awarded to such Bidder,but Bidder's refusal to substitution will not constitute grounds for forfeiture
of Bid Security. Any subcontractor so listed and to whom Owner or Engineer does not make written
objection prior to the giving of the Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to the Owner and
Engineer.
Contractor shall not be required to employ any subcontractor against whom he has reasonable objection.
The use of subcontractors listed by the Bidder and accepted by Owner prior to the Notice of Award will
be required in the performance of the work.
AWARD OF CONTRACT OWNER reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, including without
limitation,nonconforming,nonresponsive,unbalanced,or conditional Bids. OWNER further reserves
the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder whom it finds, after reasonable inquiry and evaluation,to be
non-responsible.OWNER may also reject the Bid of any Bidder if OWNER believes that it would not be
in the best interest of the Project to make an award to that Bidder,whether because bid is not responsive,
or the Bidder is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability,or fails to meet any other pertinent standard
or criteria established by the OWNER.The OWNER also reserves the right to waive all informalities not
involving price,time,or changes in the Work and to negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder.
In evaluating Bids, OWNER will consider whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed
requirements,and such alternatives,unit prices and other data, as may be requested in the Bid Form or
prior to the Notice of Award.
In evaluating Bidders, OWNER will consider the qualifications of Bidders and may consider the
qualifications and experience of Subcontractors,Suppliers,and other individuals or entities proposed for
those portions of the Work for which the identity of Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals or
entities must be submitted as provided in the Supplementary Conditions.
OWNER may conduct such investigations as OWNER deems necessary to establish the responsibility,
qualifications, and financial ability of Bidders, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers, individuals, or
entities to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
If the Contract is to be awarded,OWNER will award the Contract to the Bidder whose Bid is in the best
interests of the Project. Consideration factors will include conformance with all material terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents,Bid price,and other appropriate factors.
If the Contract is to be awarded,OWNER will give the Successful Bidder a Notice of Award within sixty
(60) days after the day of the bid opening.

execution of said Agreement by all parties without any liability against the OWNER.
8 INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

funds then estimated by the Owner as available, the Owner may reject all Bid Proposals or take such
other action as best serves the Owner's interests.

any time before the complete execution of the Agreement by all parties without any liability against the
Owner.

No Agreement shall be considered as effective until it has been fully executed by all of the parties
thereto.

i damages sustained. Award may then be made to the next lowest responsible and qualified Bidder,or the

the bidder has complied with the DBE goals of the project.

comply with the assigned project goal, a determination will be made within 48
hours of the bid opening, based upon the good faith efforts (Good Faith Efforts
are outlined in the MDT DBE Program).
b. DBEs not certified by MDT prior to the date the bids are opened will not be
considered in determining whether the bid has complied with the goals.

bidders are encouraged to utilize the Schedule to indicate a commitment to using
a DBE for a portion of the work in the project.
2. The BIDDER'S LIST will be used to gather information for use in determining
appropriate DBE goals for upcoming fiscal years. Each firm, bidding on prime

material or equipment of other Suppliers may be submitted to Engineer for review under the
circumstances described below.
1. "Or-Equal"Items: If in Engineer's sole discretion an item of material or equipment proposed
by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that no change in
1 related Work will be required, it may be considered by Engineer as an "or-equal" item, in
which case review and approval of the proposed item may, in Engineer's sole discretion, be
accomplished without compliance with some or all of the requirements for approval of
proposed substitute items. For the purposes of this Paragraph 6.05.A.1, a proposed item of
material or equipment will be considered functionally equal to an item so named if:
a. in the exercise of reasonable judgment Engineer determines that:
1) it is at least equal in materials of construction, quality, durability, appearance,
strength, and design characteristics,
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract
Copyright 6 2007 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC. All rights reserved.
Page 23 of 62
2) it will reliably perform at least equally well the function and achieve the results
imposed by the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole; and
3) it has a proven record of performance and availability of responsive service.
b. Contractor certifies that, if approved and incorporated into the Work:
1) there will be no increase in cost to the Owner or increase in Contract Times: and
2) it will conform substantially to the detailed requirements of the item named in the
Contract Documents.
2. Substitute Items:
a. If in Engineers sole discretion an item of material or equipment proposed by Contractor
does not qualify as an "or-equal" item under Paragraph 6.05.A.1. it will be considered a
proposed substitute item.
b. Contractor shall submit sufficient information as provided below to allow Engineer to
determine if the item of material or equipment proposed is essentially equivalent to that
named and an acceptable substitute therefor. Requests for review of proposed substitute
items of material or equipment will not be accepted by Engineer from anyone other than
Contractor.
c. The requirements for review by Engineer will be as set forth in Paragraph 6.05.A.2.d, as
supplemented by the General Requirements, and as Engineer may decide is appropriate

b) be similar in substance to that specified,and
c) be suited to the same use as that specified;
2) will state:
a) the extent, if any, to which the use of the proposed substitute item will prejudice
Contractor's achievement of Substantial Completion on time,

EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract
Copyright©2007 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC. All rights reserved.
Page 24 of 62
c) whether incorporation or use of the proposed substitute item in connection with
the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty;

a) all variations of the proposed substitute item from that specified,and
b) available engineering, sales,maintenance,repair, and replacement services; and
4) shall contain an itemized estimate of all costs or credits that will result directly or
indirectly from use of such substitute item, including costs of redesign and claims of
other contractors affected by any resulting change.
j B. Substitute Construction Methods or Procedures: If a specific means, method, technique,
sequence, or procedure of construction is expressly required by the Contract Documents,
Contractor may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, technique, sequence, or procedure
of construction approved by Engineer. Contractor shall submit sufficient information to allow
Engineer, in Engineer's sole discretion, to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to
that expressly called for by the Contract Documents. The requirements for review by Engineer
will be similar to those provided in Paragraph 6.05.A.2.
C. Engineer's Evaluation: Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate
each proposal or submittal made pursuant to Paragraphs 6.05.A and 6.05.B. Engineer may require
Contractor to furnish additional data about the proposed substitute item. Engineer will be the sole
l judge of acceptability. No "or equal" or substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized until

Page 25 of 62
required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity to furnish or
perform any of the Work against whom Contractor has reasonable objection.
B. If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers,or other
individuals or entities to be submitted to Owner in advance for acceptance by Owner by a
specified date prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement, and if Contractor has submitted a list
thereof in accordance with the Supplementary Conditions, Owner's acceptance (either in writing
or by failing to make written objection thereto by the date indicated for acceptance or objection in
the Bidding Documents or the Contract Documents) of any such Subcontractor,Supplier,or other
individual or entity so identified may be revoked on the basis of reasonable objection after due
investigation. Contractor shall submit an acceptable replacement for the rejected Subcontractor,
Supplier, or other individual or entity, and the Contract Price will be adjusted by the difference in
the cost occasioned by such replacement, and an appropriate Change Order will be issued. No
acceptance by Owner of any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, whether
initially or as a replacement, shall constitute a waiver of any right of Owner or Engineer to reject
defective Work.
C. Contractor shall be fully responsible to Owner and Engineer for all acts and omissions of the
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities performing or furnishing any of the
Work just as Contractor is responsible for Contractor"s own acts and omissions. Nothing in the

any contractual relationship between Owner or Engineer and any such Subcontractor,
Supplier or other individual or entity; nor

any moneys due any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity except as may
otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations.
D. Contractor shall be solely responsible for scheduling and coordinating the Work of
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities performing or furnishing any of the
Work under a direct or indirect contract with Contractor.
E. Contractor shall require all Subcontractors, Suppliers, and such other individuals or entities
performing or furnishing any of the Work to communicate with Engineer through Contractor.
F. The divisions and sections of the Specifications and the identifications of any Drawings shall not
control Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or Suppliers or delineating the
Work to be performed by any specific trade.
G. All Work performed for Contractor by a Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an

1. repair such defective land or areas; or
2. convect such defective Work;or
3. if the defective Work has been rejected by Owner, remove it from the Project and replace it
with Work that is not defective,and
1
4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other Work, to the work
of others or other land or areas resulting therefrom.
B. If Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of Owner's written instructions, or in an
emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, Owner may have the
defective Work corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work removed and replaced. All
claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute
I resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or repair or such removal and
j replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others)will

D. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or
removed and replaced under this Paragraph 13.07,the correction period hereunder with respect to
such Work will be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or removal
and replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
E. Contractor's obligations under this Paragraph 13.07 are in addition to any other obligation or
warranty. The provisions of this Paragraph 13.07 shall not be construed as a substitute for, or a
waiver of,the provisions of any applicable statute of limitation or repose.
13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, Owner (and,
prior to Engineer's recommendation of final payment, Engineer) prefers to accept it, Owner may
do so. Contractor shall pay all claims,costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or
arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to Owner`s evaluation of and
j determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by Engineer as to
I reasonableness) and for the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid by
Contractor pursuant to this sentence. If any such acceptance occurs prior to Engineer's
J recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary
revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and Owner shall be entitled to an
appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value of Work so accepted.
1 If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, Owner may make a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05. If the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate
1 amount will be paid by Contractor to Owner.

ARTICLE 14—PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
14.01 Schedule of Values
A. The Schedule of Values established as provided in Paragraph 2.07.A will serve as the basis for
progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application for Payment acceptable to
Engineer. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units
completed.
14.02 Progress Payments
A. Applications for Payments:
1. At least 20 days before the date established in the Agreement for each progress payment (but
not more often than once a month), Contractor shall submit to Engineer for review an
EJCDC C•700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract
Copyright©2007 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC. Ali rights reserved.
Page 52 of 62
Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as
of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is
required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and
equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at
another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied
by a bill of sale, invoice, or other documentation warranting that Owner has received the
materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the materials and
equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance or other arrangements to protect
Owner's interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to Owner.
1 2. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application shall include an
affidavit of Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received on account of the
1 Work have been applied on account to discharge Contractor's legitimate obligations
associated with prior Applications for Payment.
3. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the
l Agreement.
1 B. Review of Applications:
1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in
1 writing a recommendation of payment and present the Application to Owner or return the
Application to Contractor indicating in writing Engineer's reasons for refusing to recommend
payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application.
l
2. Engineer's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will
1 constitute a representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer's observations of the
executed Work as an experienced and qualified design professional, and on Engineer's
review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that to the
best of Engineer's knowledge, information and belief:
J
l a. the Work has progressed to the point indicated;
j b. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject
to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial
Completion, the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, a
final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under Paragraph
9.07, and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation); and
c. the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to such payment appear to have
been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe the Work.
3. By recommending any such payment Engineer will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that:
1
a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been
performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or
I
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract

Page 53 of 62
I
involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically
assigned to Engineer in the Contract Documents; or
b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor
to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle Owner to withhold payment to Contractor.
4. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's Work for the purposes of recommending payments
nor Engineer's recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will impose
responsibility on Engineer:
a. to supervise, direct,or control the Work,or
b. for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or the
safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or
c. for Contractor's failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's
performance of the Work, or
d. to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the
moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or
e. to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to Owner
free and clear of any Liens.
5. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in Engineer's
opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner stated in
Paragraph 14.02.13.2. Engineer may also refuse to recommend any such payment or, because
of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, revise
or revoke any such payment recommendation previously made, to such extent as may be
necessary in Engineer's opinion to protect Owner from loss because:
a. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged, requiring correction or
replacement;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;
c. Owner has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with
Paragraph 13.09; or
d. Engineer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
Paragraph 15.02.A.
C. Payment Becomes Due:
1. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Payment to Owner with Engineer's
recommendation, the amount recommended will (subject to the provisions of Paragraph
14.02.13) become due, and when due will be paid by Owner to Contractor.

1
D. Reduction in Payment:
1. Owner may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by Engineer because:
a. claims have been made against Owner on account of Contractor's performance or
furnishing of the Work;
b. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where Contractor has
delivered a specific bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the satisfaction and discharge of
such Liens;
c. there are other items entitling Owner to a set-off against the amount recommended; or
d. Owner has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
Paragraphs 14.02.B.5.a through 14.02.B.5.c or Paragraph 15.02.A.
2. If Owner refuses to make payment of the full amount recommended by Engineer, Owner will
give Contractor immediate written notice (with a copy to Engineer) stating the reasons for
such action and promptly pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of the
Jamount so withheld. Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the amount so withheld, or any
adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor,when Contractor remedies the reasons
for such action.
3. Upon a subsequent determination that Owner's refusal of payment was not justified, the
amount wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an amount due as determined by Paragraph
14.02.C.1 and subject to interest as provided in the Agreement.
14.03 Contractor's Warranty of fide
A. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by
any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to Owner no
Ilater than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens.
I� 14.04 Substantial Completion
1 A. When Contractor considers the entire Work ready for its intended use Contractor shall notify
1 Owner and Engineer in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items
specifically listed by Contractor as incomplete) and request that Engineer issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion.
B. Promptly after Contractor's notification, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an
inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If Engineer does not consider the
Work substantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in writing giving the reasons
therefor.
C. If Engineer considers the Work substantially complete,Engineer will deliver to Owner a tentative
certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There
shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract

Page 55 of 62
final payment. Owner shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which
to make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If,
after considering such objections, Engineer concludes that the Work is not substantially
complete, Engineer will, within 14 days after submission of the tentative certificate to Owner,
notify Contractor in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of Owner's
objections, Engineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will, within said 14
days, execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor a definitive certificate of Substantial
Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such
changes from the tentative certificate as Engineer believes justified after consideration of any
objections from Owner.
D. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion, Engineer will
deliver to Owner and Contractor a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities
pending final payment between Owner and Contractor with respect to security, operation, safety,
and protection of the Work, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, and warranties and
guarantees. Unless Owner and Contractor agree otherwise in writing and so inform Engineer in
writing prior to Engineer's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion,Engineer's
aforesaid recommendation will be binding on Owner and Contractor until final payment.
E. Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial
Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable access to remove its property and
complete or correct items on the tentative list.
14.05 Partial Utilization
A. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work, Owner may use or occupy any substantially
completed part of the Work which has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or
which Owner,Engineer, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part
of the Work that can be used by Owner for its intended purpose without significant interference
with Contractor's performance of the remainder of the Work, subject to the following conditions:
1. Owner at any time may request Contractor in writing to permit Owner to use or occupy any
such part of the Work which Owner believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially
complete. If and when Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete,
Contractor, Owner, and Engineer will follow the procedures of Paragraph 14.04.A through D
for that part of the Work.
2. Contractor at any time may notify Owner and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers
any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substantially complete and request
Engineer to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
3. Within a reasonable time after either such request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall
make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If Engineer
does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer will notify
Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor. If Engineer considers that part
of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of Paragraph 14.04 will apply with
respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of
responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.

4. No use or occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work may occur prior to compliance
with the requirements of Paragraph 5.10 regarding property insurance.
14.06 Final Inspection
A. Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is
complete, Engineer will promptly make a final inspection with Owner and Contractor and will
notify Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is

complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.
14.07 Final Payment
A. Application for Payment:
I. After Contractor has, in the opinion of Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections
identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract
Documents, all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds,
certificates or other evidence of insurance, certificates of inspection, marked-up record
documents (as provided in Paragraph 6.12), and other documents, Contractor may make
application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments.
2. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered)by:

that: (i) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material, and equipment for
which a Lien could be filed; and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which Owner might in any way be responsible,or
which might in any way result in Iiens or other burdens on Owner's property, have been paid
j or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to famish such a release or
receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to
indemnify Owner against any Lien.
l
B. Engineer's Review of Application and Acceptance:
11. If, on the basis of Engineer's observation of the Work during construction and final
inspection, and Engineer's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying

documentation as required by the Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work
has been completed and Contractor's other obligations under the Contract Documents have
been fulfilled, Engineer will, within ten days after receipt of the final Application for
Payment, indicate in writing Engineer's recommendation of payment and present the
Application for Payment to Owner for payment. At the same time Engineer will also give
written notice to Owner and Contractor that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 14.09. Otherwise, Engineer will return the Application for Payment to
Contractor, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in
which case Contractor shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for
Payment.
C. Payment Becomes Due:
1. Thirty days after the presentation to Owner of the Application for Payment and
accompanying documentation, the amount recommended by Engineer, less any sum Owner is
entitled to set off against Engineer's recommendation, including but not limited to liquidated
damages,will become due and will be paid by Owner to Contractor.
14.08 Final Completion Delayed
A. If, through no fault of Contractor, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and if
Engineer so confirms, Owner shall, upon receipt of Contractor's final Application for Payment
(for Work fully completed and accepted) and recommendation of Engineer, and without
terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully
completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by Owner for Work not fully
completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if bonds have
been fumished as required in Paragraph 5.01, the written consent of the surety to the payment of
the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by
Contractor to Engineer with the Application for such payment. Such payment shall be made
under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a
waiver of Claims.
14.09 Waiver of Claims
A. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute:
1. a waiver of all Claims by Owner against Contractor, except Claims arising from unsettled
Liens, from defective Work appearing after final inspection pursuant to Paragraph 14.06,
from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantees
specified therein, or from Contractor's continuing obligations under the Contract Documents;
and
2. a waiver of all Claims by Contractor against Owner other than those previously made in
accordance with the requirements herein and expressly acknowledged by Owner in writing as
still unsettled.

Contract Times, or both, directly attributable to any such suspension if Contractor makes a Claim
therefor as provided in Paragraph 10.05.
15.02 Owner May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or
suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the Progress Schedule established
under Paragraph 2.07 as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Paragraph 6.04);
2. Contractor's disregard of Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
3. Contractor's repeated disregard of the authority of Engineer; or
4. Contractor's violation in any substantial way of any provisions of the Contract Documents.

full extent they could be used by Contractor (without liability to Contractor for trespass or
Iconversion);
2. incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner
has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere; and
3. complete the Work as Owner may deem expedient.
C. If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph 15.02.B, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive
any further payment until the Work is completed. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price
exceeds all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) sustained by Owner arising out of or relating to completing the Work,
i such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs, losses, and damages exceed such
unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner. Such claims, costs, losses, and
damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed by Engineer as to their reasonableness and, when

so approved by Engineer, incorporated in a Change Order. When exercising any rights or
remedies under this Paragraph, Owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the
Work performed.
D. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 15.02.13 and 15.02.C, Contractor's services will not be terminated if
Contractor begins within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure
to perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of
said notice.
E. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by Owner, the termination will not affect
any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue.
Any retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by Owner will not release Contractor from
liability.
F. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of
Paragraph 5.01.A, the termination procedures of that bond shall supersede the provisions of
Paragraphs 15.02.13 and 15.02.C.
15.03 Owner May Terminate For Convenience
A. Upon seven days written notice to Contractor and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and
without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner, terminate the Contract. In such case,
Contractor shall be paid for(without duplication of any items):
1. completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents prior
to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such Work;
2. expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and
furnishing labor, materials, or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in
connection with uncompleted Work,plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on
such expenses;
3. all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with Subcontractors,
Suppliers, and others; and
4. reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination.
B. Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other
economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.04 Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate

1 to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, then Contractor may, upon seven days
written notice to Owner and Engineer, and provided Owner or Engineer do not remedy such
suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Contract and recover from Owner payment
1 on the same terms as provided in Paragraph 15.03.
B. In lieu of terminating the Contract and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if Engineer
has failed to act on an Application for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted,or Owner has
failed for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due,Contractor may, seven
days after written notice to Owner and Engineer, stop the Work until payment is made of all such
amounts due Contractor, including interest thereon. The provisions of this Paragraph 15.04 are
not intended to preclude Contractor from making a Claim under Paragraph 10.05 for an
adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise for expenses or damage directly
attributable to Contractor's stopping the Work as permitted by this Paragraph.
ARTICLE 16—DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.01 Methods and Procedures

These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally assisted)
performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area,
it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area,
the contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and nonfederaily involved construction.
The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on its
implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in
41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially
uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities
and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or
from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the contract,the Executive Order and
the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of$10,000 at any tier for construction work
under the contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address and telephone number of the
subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated starting
and completion dates of the subcontract;and the geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed.

102.1006 EXAMINATION OF DOCUMENTS AND SITE OF WORK
Examine the site of the proposed work including existing field staking and documents
before submitting a proposal. Submitting a proposal is an affirmative statement by the
bidder that the bidder has examined the site and is satisfied with the conditions to be
encountered in performing the work and the bid package requirements.
The Owner is not bound by any statement or representation concerning conditions or

SECTION 108 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
108.1001 SUBCONTRACTING OR ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT
108.1001.01 Subcontracting.
Do not subcontract, assign, or otherwise dispose of more than 60% of any portion of
the Contract cost without the written consent of the surety and the Owner.
Include in the written subcontract or assignment or in a separate written document with
the assignment or subcontract the following language:
"In consideration of being awarded this subcontract, and in consideration of having this
subcontract approved by the Owner, the Subcontractor hereby assigns to the Owner
any and all claims or causes of action for any antitrust law violations, or damages
arising therefrom, as to goods, materials, and services purchased under the terms of
this subcontract or any change order that may result from this subcontract."
108.1001.02 Contract Performance.
Perform at least 40% of the Contract cost with the Contractor's organization.
Designated Contract "Specialty Items" may be performed by subcontract without regard
to the 40% limitation.
Where an entire item is subcontracted, the percentage of the total work subcontracted
is based on the contract item bid price. When a portion of an item is subcontracted, the
percentage of the work subcontracted will be based on either the subcontract item unit
price or on an estimated percentage of the contract item bid price, determined by the
Engineer.
Do not allow a Subcontractor to start work until it's subcontract is consented to by the
Engineer. Include two executed and certified copies of the subcontract, a letter from the
surety consenting to the subcontract, and a copy of the proposed subcontractor's
current special fuel users permit issued under 15-70-302, MCA.
Do not subcontract or assign more than the allowable 60% by including additional labor,
equipment, and supervision costs on the Contractor's payroll records to circumvent the
subcontracting provisions.
Inform the subcontractor of all the Contract provisions. The minimum wage included in
the Contract applies to labor performed on all work subcontracted, assigned, or
REV. 4-30-2013
8
otherwise disposed of.
Attach to each subcontract all required Contract provisions and predetermined
minimum wage rates. Include in the subcontract these words: "The subcontractor
agrees to comply with all of the labor provisions contained in the attached "Special
Required Contract Provisions" and "Minimum Wage Determination."
All subcontractors are agents of the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for all
work, material furnished, and indebtedness incurred by the subcontractor.
Written consent to subcontract, assign or transfer the Contract does not release the
Contractor from liability under the Contract and bond.
DOMESTIC MATERIALS: (ALL PROJECTS USING STEEL OR IRON MATERIALS)
Furnish domestic steel or iron materials for permanent incorporation in the work.
Domestic material is material that all manufacturing processes, including coating of
steel or iron, occur in the United States. Pig iron, and processed, pelletized and
reduced iron ore may be manufactured outside the United States. Furnish the
appropriate manufacturer's mill tests and certifications documenting the manufacturing
processes, including coatings of covered materials, performed in the United States. A
minimal quantity of foreign manufactured steel and iron material may be used if the cost
of the material, including delivery costs to the project, does not exceed one-tenth of one
percent of the total contract amount or $2,500.00, whichever is greater. Do not
incorporate steel or iron materials into the project until the proper documentation is
furnished to the Engineer.
INDIAN RESERVATION WORK: (ALL PROJECTS ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS)
Because all or part of this project is located within the external boundaries of an Indian
Reservation, the following requirements apply:
A. Read, fully understand and agree to the provisions here included.
B. Inquire with the Tribal officials and become familiar with the Tribal requirements for
work on the Reservation, and submit bid with full knowledge, understanding and
acceptance of them.

are responsible to the Tribe to adhere to and abide by all Tribal laws, ordinances
and regulations on work performed on the Reservation, specifically including all
Indian hiring and contract fee requirements.
F. Dealings with the Tribe and its requirements are solely between the contractor and
the Tribe, and must be addressed in the appropriate forum between them alone.
G. By submitting a bid, agree to defend, protect, indemnify and save harmless the
Owner from any cost or delay caused or allegedly caused by or due to the failure of
bidder or any subcontractor to fully comply with Tribal law, ordinance or regulation,
or by claimed interference by the Tribe. Claims from such failure or claimed
interference will not be considered extra work or compensable delay, but actual,
documented and verified interference by Tribal government may be grounds for a
contract time extension. Understand that any requests must fully comply with the
REV. 4-30-2013
9
Contract's claims procedure.
H. By submitting a bid, do so with full understanding and acceptance of all provisions of
the Bid Package.

WELDERS - Receive rate prescribed for craft performing
operation to which welding is incidental.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii) ) .
----------------------------------------------------------------
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
file:///C:iUsers/BMurray/AppData/Local/Temp/TJClZEQXV.htm 3/3/2014
Page 5 of 6
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular
rate is union or non-union.
Union Identifiers
i
An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with
characters other than "SU" denotes that the union
classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that
classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first
four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the
four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union
number or district council number where applicable , i.e. ,
Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is
an internal number used in processing the wage determination.
The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the
effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective
bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above
example.
Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any
changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the
rates.
0000/9999: weighted union wage rates will be published annually
each January.
Non-Union Identifiers
Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived
from survey data by computing average rates and are not union
rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may
include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007
5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union majority rates,
LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the
i survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates
the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued
as a General Wage Determination on that date.
Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change
until a new survey is conducted.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1. ) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
file:///C:/Users/BMurray/AppData/Local/Temp/UClZEQXV.htm 3/3/2014
Page 6 of 6
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial

CHANGE ORDER
INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Contract Price
or Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated into a
subsequent Change Order if they affect Price or Times.
Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times should be promptly covered by a Change Order. The practice
of accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes.
If Milestones have been listed in the Agreemet, any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed.
For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times,a
Field Order should be used.
B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM
Engineer normally initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attachments based upon
documents and proposals submitted by Contractor,or requests from Owner, or both.
Once Engineer has completed and signed the form,all copies should be sehto Owner or Contractor for approval,
depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated
agreement for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting party, all copies should Lunt to
the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by both parties.
If a change only applies to price or to times, cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply.

30. ESTIMATED QUANTITIES
The bid quantity for unclassified excavation was determined using AutoCAD composite volume
surface method. This method computes a volume by sampling between an existing ground
surface and a design surface. Existing ground surface was determined by field survey of the of
the proposed work areas on a 25-foot by 25-foot grid. The design surface is defined as sub-grade
elevation(0.75' below finish grade sidewalk) and daylight grading from finish grade on either
side of the proposed walk. After calculating a volume from the existing surface to the design
surface, cut and fill volumes for top soil removal were added for areas requiring fill to finish
grade. This was done by multiplying the width of the proposed walk by 4-inches of topsoil by
the length of the walk in the fill area and adding this volume to the overall cut and the overall fill
quantities.
