Title:______________________________
If Bids are signed for any other legal entity, the authority of the person signing for such legal entity
should be attached to the Bid.
BID REQUIREMENTS The Bidder is expected to base its bid on materials and equipment
complying fully with the plans and specifications and, in the event the Bidder names in its bid
materials or equipment which do not conform, the Bidder will be responsible for furnishing
materials and equipment which fully conform at no charge in its bid price.
Before submitting a proposal, each Bidder should read the complete Contract Documents (including
all addenda, if such exist), specifications and plans, including all related documents containing
herein, all of which contain provisions applicable not only to the successful Bidder, but also to such
Bidder’s subcontractors.
BID QUANTITIES: Bidders must satisfy themselves by personal examination of the locations of
the proposed Work and by such other means as they may prefer as to the correctness of any
quantities.
The estimated unit quantities of the various classes of work to be done are approximate and are to be
used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the Work and for comparing the proposals
offered for the Work. The Bidder agrees that, during progress of the Work, the City may find it
advisable to omit portions of the Work, to increase or decrease the quantities as may be deemed
Instructions to Bidders
Page 6 of 9
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 shall be the actual amount of
Work done and the materials furnished.
The Bidder agrees it 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.
WITHDRAWAL OF BID: No Bidder may withdraw any bid for a period as specified in the Request For Bid after the date and hour set for the opening declared herein. Prior to that time, Bidder may withdraw a Bid by written request. The request to withdraw a bid must be signed in the
same manner and by the same person or persons who signed the Bid.
ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION OF THE BIDS: The City 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 City. The City reserves the right to waive irregularities in any Bid
submitted, or reject nonconforming, non-responsive or conditional Bids and to correct arithmetical
errors in the Bid prior to comparison.
SUBCONTRACTORS: Within thirty (30) days after Bids are opened, the apparent low Bidder, and
any other Bidder so requested, shall submit a list of all Subcontractors the Bidder 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 City. If the City or
its representative engineer or architect 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. 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 City or its representative engineer or architect does not make written objection prior to
the giving of the Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to the City and its representative engineer or architect.
Bidder shall not be required to employ any subcontractor against whom the Bidder has reasonable
objection.
The use of subcontractors listed by the Bidder and accepted by City prior to the Notice of Award will be required in the performance of the work unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City.
AWARD OF CONTRACT: If the Construction Agreement is to be awarded, City will award the
Instructions to Bidders
Page 7 of 9
Construction Agreement to the responsible Bidder whose Bid is responsive and conforms with all
material terms and conditions of the bidding documents and proposed Contract Documents, is lowest
in price, is in the best interest of the project and the City, and other factors considered. The award
will be based on the lowest responsive cumulative base Bid plus any added alternate schedules the City determines to include with the project. If the Construction Agreement is awarded, the award will be made within the period specified in the Request For Bid. The successful Bidder will be
notified by letter mailed to the address shown on the Bid that the bid has been accepted and that
Bidder has been awarded the contract.
CANCELLATION OF AWARD: The City reserves the right to cancel the award of any Agreement
at any time and for any reason or no reason before the complete execution of the Agreement by all
parties without any liability against the City.
RETURN OF BID GUARANTEE: All Bid guarantees, except those of the three lowest Bidders, will be returned immediately following the opening and checking of the Bids. The Bid guarantees of the unsuccessful of the three lowest Bidders will be returned within ten (10) days following the
award of the Agreement. The Bid guarantee of the Bidder to whom the contract is awarded will be
returned when said Bidder has executed an Agreement and filed satisfactory Performance and
Payment Bonds as hereinafter stipulated.
PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS: The Bidder to whom the Construction Agreement is
awarded will be required to furnish a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond (the “Bonds”) in favor
of the City. The Bonds must be in an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the
Construction Agreement amount.
The Bonds shall be executed on the forms bound herein, signed by a surety company authorized to
do business in the State of Montana, and acceptable as a surety to the City and countersigned by a

the date of the Bond.
EXECUTION AND APPROVAL OF CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT: The Construction
Agreement shall be signed by the successful Bidder and returned, together with the Bonds, within the time shown on the Bid. If the Agreement is not executed by the City within fifteen (15) days
following receipt from the Bidder of the signed Construction Agreement and Bonds, the Bidder shall
have the right to withdraw its Bid without penalty. No Construction Agreement shall be considered
as effective until it has been fully executed by all of the parties thereto.
INSURANCE: The successful Bidder, as part of the Construction Agreement, shall provide liability
insurance and other insurances and maintain required workers’ compensation coverage all as
indicated in the Construction Agreement. Bidder shall provide proof of these through either a
certificate of insurance or a current copy of Bidder’s policy documents as required by the City.
Instructions to Bidders
Page 8 of 9
FAILURE TO EXECUTE CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT: Failure to execute the Construction
Agreement and furnish a Performance Bond and Payment Bond shall be just cause for annulment of
the award. In the event of such annulment of the award, the Bid guarantee shall be forfeited to the City, not as a penalty but as liquidation of damages sustained. Award may then be made to the next
lowest responsible and qualified Bidder, or the work may be re-advertised as the City may decide.
PAYMENTS: Payment for all Work performed under the Agreement will be made by the City
within the time period specified in and in accordance with the procedures outlined herein.
When the Work extends beyond thirty (30) days, progress payments will be made monthly for any
work accomplished during the preceding month, but subject to retainage as specified elsewhere.
PREVAILING WAGE RATES: In all public works contracts with the City, contractors and their subcontractors shall pay for each job classification the standard prevailing wage rate, including fringe benefits. The standard prevailing wage rate as used herein means the standard prevailing rate
of wages in the locality where the work is to be performed as determined by the Montana
Commissioner of Labor & Industry pursuant to §18-2-402, MCA, and as bound herein to the
proposed Construction Agreement. The Bidder and Bidder’s subcontractors are directed to the Montana Commissioner of Labor & Industry for information on the standard prevailing rate of wages applicable to this project within this area.

BIDDER PREFERENCE: In accordance with the provisions of Title 18, Chapter 1, Part 1, MCA, a

This Construction Agreement is made this _____ day of _______________, 20___, by
and between the CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Montana, P.O. Box 1231, Bozeman, Montana 59771-1231
(“City”), and _____________________________________, a _____________________, of
_____________________, (“Contractor”).
Recitals
A. The City issued an Invitation to Bid for the construction project known as
___________________________ (“Construction Project”) pursuant to the requirements of all
applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and ordinances.
B. The City analyzed all responses to the Invitation to Bid received pursuant to its
standard practices and the requirements of all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and
ordinances.
C. The City awarded the bid to Contractor on _______________, 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 [insert name of project], 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. The City’s Notice of Award is
attached here as Exhibit A. 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.
Page 2 of 28 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.
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 sixty (60) days 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. [option: The various phases of the Construction Project shall be completed pursuant to the Construction Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by this reference]. 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 5b 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 Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) from the compensation
Page 3 of 28 Version 12 14 15
hereinafter specified and retain that sum as payment for liquidated damages sustained by reason
of the Contractor’s failure to complete the Construction Project on time.
5. Compensation:
a. City shall pay to Contractor, and Contractor shall accept as full payment
for the performance of this Agreement and the Construction Project, the amount of __________________ ($_________), as paid in accordance with Exhibit D,
Compensation Schedule, attached hereto.
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 Change of Work Specifications set forth on Exhibit E 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
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.
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) 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
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.
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
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.
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
Page 9 of 28 Version 12 14 15
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby
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
claim. In the event Contractor fails to provide such notice, Contractor shall waive all
rights to assert such claim.
15. Representatives:
a. City’s Representative: The City’s Representative for the purpose of this
Agreement shall be [insert name of representative (could be the consulting architect or
engineer) or such other individual as City shall designate in writing. Whenever approval or authorization from or communication or submission to City is required by this Agreement, such communication or submission shall be directed to the City’s
Representative and approvals or authorizations shall be issued only by such
Representative; provided, however, that in exigent circumstances when City’s
Representative is not available, Contractor may direct its communication or submission to other designated City personnel or agents and may receive approvals or authorization from such persons.
b. Contractor’s Representative: The Contractor’s Representative for the
purpose of this Agreement shall be _______________________________ or such other individual as Contractor shall designate in writing. Whenever direction to or
communication with Contractor is required by this Agreement, such direction or
communication shall be directed to Contractor’s Representative; provided, however, that
in exigent circumstances when Contractor’s Representative is not available, City may
direct its direction or communication to other designated Contractor personnel or agents.
16. Locating Underground Facilities: Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining
and determining the location of any underground facilities, including but not limited to, the
location of any pipelines or utility supply, delivery, or service lines in accordance with the
provisions of §69-4-501, et seq., MCA. Contractor shall make every effort to avoid damage to underground facilities and shall be solely responsible for any damage that may occur. If City personnel assume responsibility for locating any underground facilities, this fact shall be noted in
writing prior to commencement of such location work.
17. Permits: Contractor shall provide all notices, comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, obtain all necessary permits, licenses, including a City of
Bozeman business license, and inspections from applicable governmental authorities, pay all fees
Page 10 of 28 Version 12 14 15
and charges in connection therewith, and perform all surveys and locations necessary for the
timely completion of the Construction Project.
18. Ownership of Documents; Indemnification: All plans, designs, drawings, specifications, documents, sample results and data, in whatever medium or format, originated or prepared by or for Contractor in contemplation of, or in the course of, or as a result of this
Agreement or work on the Construction Project, shall be promptly furnished to the City (“City
Documents and Information”). All City Documents and Information shall be the exclusive
property of the City and shall be deemed to be works-for-hire. Contractor hereby assigns all right, title, and interest in and to the City Documents and Information, including but not limited to, all copyright and patent rights in and to the City Documents and Information. Neither party
grants to the other any express or implied licenses under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or
other intellectual property rights, except to the extent necessary to complete its obligations to the
other under this Agreement.
19. Laws and Regulations: Contractor shall comply fully with all applicable state
and federal laws, regulations, and municipal ordinances including, but not limited to, all

20. Non-discrimination: The Contractor shall have a policy to provide equal
employment opportunity in accordance with all applicable state and federal anti-discrimination
laws, regulations, and contracts. The Contractor shall not refuse employment to a person, bar a
person from employment, or discriminate against a person in compensation or in a term,
condition, or privilege of employment because of race, color, religion, creed, political ideas, sex, age, marital status, national origin, actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity,
physical or mental disability, except when the reasonable demands of the position require an age,
physical or mental disability, marital status or sex distinction. The Contractor shall be subject to
and comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Section 140, Title 2, United States
Code, and all regulations promulgated thereunder. The Contractor shall require these nondiscrimination terms of its sub-contractors providing services under this agreement.
21. Intoxicants; DOT Drug and Alcohol Regulations: Contractor shall not permit
or suffer the introduction or use of any intoxicants, including alcohol or illegal drugs, upon the
site of the Construction Project. Contractor acknowledges it is aware of and shall comply with its responsibilities and obligations under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations governing anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention plans and related testing. City

furnish such proof.
22. Labor Relations:
Page 11 of 28 Version 12 14 15
a. Contractor shall post a legible statement of all wages and fringe benefits to
be paid to the Contractor’s employees and the frequency of such payments (i.e., hourly
wage employees shall be paid weekly). Such posting shall be made in a prominent and
accessible location at the site of the Construction Project and shall be made no later than the first day of work. Such posting shall be removed only upon the final completion of
the Construction Project and the termination of this Agreement.
b. In performing the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the work on
the Construction Project, Contractor shall give preference to the employment of bona fide residents of Montana, as required by §18-2-403, MCA, and as such, term is defined by
§18-2-401(1), MCA. When making assignments of work, Contractor shall use workers
both skilled in their trade and specialized in their field of work for all work to which they
are assigned.
c. Pursuant to §§18-2-403 and 18-2-422, MCA, Contractor shall pay wages,
benefits, and expenses in conformance with the current version of the Prevailing Wage
Rates for Building Construction Services as published by the Montana Department of
Labor and Industry and which are applicable to Gallatin County. Contractor shall pay all
hourly wage employees on a weekly basis. Violation of the requirements to pay applicable prevailing wage rates may subject the Contractor to the penalties set forth in
§18-2-407, MCA. Contractor shall maintain payroll records and provide certified copies
to the City. Contractor shall maintain such payroll records during the term of this
Agreement, the course of the work on the Construction Project, and for a period of three
(3) years following the date of final completion of the Construction Project and termination of this Agreement.
d. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement and throughout the
course of Contractor’s performance of the Construction Project, any labor problems or
disputes of any type arise or materialize which in turn cause any work on the Construction Project to cease for any period of time, Contractor specifically agrees to
take immediate steps, at its own expense and without expectation of reimbursement from
City, to alleviate or resolve all such labor problems or disputes. The specific steps
Contractor shall take to resume work on the Construction Project shall be left to the
discretion of Contractor; provided, however, that Contractor shall bear all costs of any related legal action. Contractor shall provide immediate relief to the City so as to permit
the work on the Construction Project to resume and be completed within the time frames
set forth in the Construction Schedule at no additional cost to City.

payment, including a proportional part of the retainage Contractor has received from the
City. In the event of a dispute regarding any subcontractor’s invoice, Contractor shall promptly pay the undisputed amount to the subcontractor and notify the subcontractor in
writing of the amount in dispute and the reasons for the dispute. Any withholding of
payment must comply with the requirements of §28-2-2103, MCA. In the event

joint payment.
24. Indebtedness and Liens: Before City may make any final payment to
Contractor, Contractor shall furnish City with satisfactory proof that there are no outstanding debts or liens in connection with the Construction Project. If the Contractor allows any
indebtedness to accrue to subcontractors or others during the progress of the work, and fails to
pay or discharge the same within five (5) days after demand, then City may either withhold any
money due to Contractor until such indebtedness is paid or apply the same towards the discharge
of the indebtedness. If any lien or claim is filed or made by any subcontractor, material supplier, or any other person, the Contractor shall immediately notify the City and shall cause the same to
be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after its filing.

(iii) the negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of any other third party.
b. Such obligations shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity that would otherwise exist. The indemnification

such indemnitee(s).
c. Contractor’s indemnity under this Section shall be without regard to and
without any right to contribution from any insurance maintained by City.

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

Exhibit ___ 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.
Page 21 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)
Page 22 of 28 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.

Exhibit ___
Change of Work Specifications
A. City may, at any time or from time to time, order changes, additions, deletions, or revisions to the work on the Construction Project by submitting a written Change Order to
Contractor on a form as provided for by the City. Upon receipt of any Change Order, Contractor
shall comply with the terms of the changed work as reflected in the Change Order.
B. City and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith for an agreement as to any increase or decrease in the Contractor’s compensation that results from any Change Order. The

both the City and the Contractor shall sign the Change Order as an indication of their respective
acceptance of the changes and modifications to the Agreement. In the event the City and Contractor are unable to agree upon the increase or decrease in Contractor’s compensation resulting from any Change Order, such increase or decrease shall be determined as follows:

evidenced by Contractor’s submission to the City of its actual supporting documentation including time slips/cards, invoices, and receipts:
a. by unit prices otherwise set forth in the Agreement or subsequently agreed
upon;
b. by an agreed upon lump sum; or
c. by the cost of the work and an agreed upon mark-up for Contractor’s
overhead and profit, with the costs of the work determined as follows:
(i) Contractor’s actual, direct payroll expenses for the cost of labor. Payroll expenses shall only include actual gross wages paid, without any
deductions, withholding, or overhead. The agreed upon mark-up fee shall
cover Contractor’s liability insurance, workers’ compensation, and Social
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
transportation costs, for all materials supplied by Contractor. (iii) Costs for the use of heavy equipment and the transportation of the
same. Such costs shall be the actual rental fees incurred for the use of the
heavy equipment and the actual costs of transporting such heavy
equipment to and from the site of the Construction Project.
Page 24 of 28 Version 12 14 15
2. decreases to Contractor’s compensation shall be determined by the City’s good
faith estimate. If Contractor disagrees with such good faith estimate, Contractor can avail
itself of the Dispute Resolution provisions set forth in the Agreement.
C. Except for minor modifications in the work not involving an increase of costs or
Contractor’s compensation and not inconsistent with the purposes of the work required by the
Agreement, and except in an emergency situation which endangers life or property, no change to
the work requirements shall be made unless pursuant to a written Change Order duly executed.
D. Contractor shall not be entitled to any increase in the Contractor’s compensation
or the extension of any deadlines set forth in Construction Schedule with respect to any work
performed by Contractor that is not required by the terms and conditions of the Agreement and is
not contained in a duly executed Change Order.

A. Date of Publication The rate schedule was published with the Secretary of State on December 24, 2014. It is for use in bid
solicitations first made on or after January 2, 2015.
B. Definition of Building Construction For the purposes of Prevailing Wage, the Commissioner of Labor and Industry has determined that building construction
occupations are defined to be those performed by a person engaged in a recognized trade or craft, or any skilled, semi-
skilled, or unskilled manual labor related to the construction, alteration, or repair of a public building or facility, and does not include engineering, superintendence, management, office or clerical work.
The Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) 24.17.501(2) – 2(a), Public Works Contracts for Construction Services Subject to Prevailing Wage Rates, states: “Building construction projects generally are the constructions of sheltered
enclosures with walk-in access for housing persons, machinery, equipment, or supplies. It includes all construction of such structures, incidental installation of utilities and equipment, both above and below grade level, as well as incidental
grading, utilities and paving.
Examples of building construction include, but are not limited to, alterations and additions to buildings, apartment buildings (5 stories and above), arenas (closed), auditoriums, automobile parking garages, banks and financial buildings, barracks, churches, city halls, civic centers, commercial buildings, court houses, detention facilities, dormitories, farm buildings, fire stations, hospitals, hotels, industrial buildings, institutional buildings, libraries, mausoleums, motels,
museums, nursing and convalescent facilities, office buildings, out-patient clinics, passenger and freight terminal buildings, police stations, post offices, power plants, prefabricated buildings, remodeling buildings, renovating buildings, repairing buildings, restaurants, schools, service stations, shopping centers, stores, subway stations, theaters,
warehouses, water and sewage treatment plants (buildings only), etc.”
C. Definition of Public Works Contract Section 18-2-401(11)(a), MCA defines “public works contract” as “…a contract for construction services let by the state, county, municipality, school district, or political subdivision or for nonconstruction services let by the state, county, municipality, or political subdivision in which the total cost of the contract is in excess of $25,000…”
D. Prevailing Wage Schedule This publication covers only Building Construction occupations and rates. These rates will remain in effect until
superseded by a more current publication. Current prevailing wage rate schedules for Heavy Construction, Highway Construction, and Nonconstruction Services occupations can be found on the internet at www.mtwagehourbopa.com or
by contacting the Labor Standards Bureau at (406) 444-5600 or TDD (406) 444-5549.
E. Rates to Use for Projects Rates to be used on a public works project are those that are in effect at the time the project and bid specifications are
advertised.
F. Wage Rate Adjustments for Multiyear Contracts
Section 18-2-417, MCA states:
“(1) Any public works contract that by the terms of the original contract calls for more than 30 months to fully perform must include a provision to adjust, as provided in subsection (2), the standard prevailing rate of wages to be paid to the workers performing the contract.
(2) The standard prevailing rate of wages paid to workers under a contract subject to this section must be adjusted 12 months after the date of the award of the public works contract. The amount of the adjustment must be a 3% increase. The
adjustment must be made and applied every 12 months for the term of the contract. (3) Any increase in the standard rate of prevailing wages for workers under this section is the sole responsibility of the
contractor and any subcontractors and not the contracting agency.”
4
G. Fringe Benefits Section 18-2-412, MCA states:
“(1) To fulfill the obligation...a contractor or subcontractor may:
(a) pay the amount of fringe benefits and the basic hourly rate of pay that is part of the standard prevailing rate of wages
directly to the worker or employee in cash; (b) make an irrevocable contribution to a trustee or a third person pursuant to a fringe benefit fund, plan, or program that
meets the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that is a bona fide program approved by the U. S. department of labor; or
(c) make payments using any combination of methods set forth in subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b) so that the aggregate of payments and contributions is not less than the standard prevailing rate of wages, including fringe benefits and travel allowances, applicable to the district for the particular type of work being performed.
(2) The fringe benefit fund, plan, or program described in subsection (1)(b) must provide benefits to workers or employees for health care, pensions on retirement or death, life insurance, disability and sickness insurance, or bona fide programs
that meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that are approved by the U. S. department of labor.”
Fringe benefits are paid for all hours worked (straight time and overtime hours). However, fringe benefits are not to be
considered a part of the hourly rate of pay for calculating overtime, unless there is a collectively bargained agreement in effect that specifies otherwise.
H. Prevailing Wage Districts Montana counties are aggregated into 4 districts for the purpose of prevailing wage. The prevailing wage districts are composed of the following counties:
5
I. Dispatch City Dispatch City is the courthouse in the city from the following list which is closest to the center of the job: Billings,
Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, and Missoula.
J. Zone Pay Zone pay is not travel pay. It is an amount added to the base pay, the combined sum then becomes the new base wage rate
to be paid for all hours worked on the project. Zone pay shall be determined by measuring the road miles one direction over the shortest practical maintained route from the dispatch city to the center of the job.
K. Computing Travel Benefits Travel pay, also referred to as travel allowance, shall be paid for travel both to and from the job site, except those with
special provisions listed under the classification. The rate is determined by measuring the road miles one direction over
the shortest practical maintained route from the dispatch city or the employee's home, whichever is closer, to the center of the job.
L. Per Diem Per Diem typically covers the costs associated with board and lodging expenses. Per diem is paid when an employee is required to work at a location outside the daily commuting distance and is required to stay overnight or longer.
M. Apprentices Wage rates for apprentices registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs are contained in those
programs. Additionally, section 18-2-416(2), MCA states, “…The full amount of any applicable fringe benefits must be paid to the apprentice while the apprentice is working on the public works contract.” Apprentices not registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs will be paid the appropriate journey level prevailing wage rate when
working on a public works contract.
N. Posting Notice of Prevailing Wages Section 18-2-406, MCA provides that contractors, subcontractors and employers who are “…performing work or providing construction services under public works contracts, as provided in this part, shall post in a prominent and accessible site on the project or staging area, not later than the first day of work and continuing for the entire duration of
the project, a legible statement of all wages and fringe benefits to be paid to the employees.”
O. Employment Preference Sections 18-2-403 and 18-2-409, MCA requires contractors to give preference to the employment of bona fide Montana
residents in the performance of work on public works contracts.
P. Building Construction Occupations Website
You can find definitions for these occupations on the following Bureau of Labor Statistics website: http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm
Q. Welder Rates Welders receive the rate prescribed for the craft performing an operation to which welding is incidental.
R. Foreman Rates Rates are no longer set for foremen. However, if a foreman performs journey level work, the foreman must be paid at least the journey level rate.

C. Moisten prepared area before planting if soil is dry. Water thoroughly and allow surface to dry before planting. Do not create muddy soil.
3.2 SODDING
A. Lay sod within 24 hours of harvesting. Do not lay sod if dormant or if ground is frozen or muddy.
B. Lay sod to form a solid mass with tightly fitted joints. Butt ends and sides of sod; do
not stretch or overlap. Stagger sod strips or pads to offset joints in adjacent courses. Avoid damage to subgrade or sod during installation. Tamp and roll lightly to ensure
contact with subgrade, eliminate air pockets, and form a smooth surface. Work sifted
soil or fine sand into minor cracks between pieces of sod; remove excess to avoid smothering sod and adjacent grass.
1. Lay sod across angle of slopes exceeding 1:3.
2. Anchor sod on slopes exceeding 1:6 with wood pegs or steel staples spaced as recommended by sod supplier but not less than 2 anchors per sod strip to
prevent slippage.
C. Saturate sod with fine water spray within two hours of planting. During first week after planting, water daily or more frequently as necessary to maintain moist soil to a
minimum depth of 1-1/2 inches below sod.
3.3 TURF MAINTENANCE
A. Maintain and establish turf by watering, fertilizing, weeding, mowing, trimming,
replanting, and performing other operations as required to establish healthy, viable turf. Roll, regrade, and replant bare or eroded areas and remulch to produce a uniformly
smooth turf. Provide materials and installation the same as those used in the original
installation.
B. Mow turf as soon as top growth is tall enough to cut. Repeat mowing to maintain
height appropriate for species without cutting more than 1/3 of grass height. Remove
no more than 1/3 of grass-leaf growth in initial or subsequent mowings.
C. Apply pesticides and other chemical products and biological control agents in
accordance with authorities having jurisdiction and manufacturer's written
ALFRED M. STIFF PROFESSIONAL BUILDING INTERIOR ALTERATION
TURF AND GRASSES 329200 - 3
recommendations. Coordinate applications with Owner's operations and others in proximity to the Work. Notify Owner before each application is performed.
3.4 SATISFACTORY TURF
A. Turf installations shall meet the following criteria as determined by Architect:
1. Satisfactory Sodded Turf: At end of maintenance period, a healthy, well-rooted,
even-colored, viable turf has been established, free of weeds, open joints, bare areas, and surface irregularities.
B. Use specified materials to reestablish turf that does not comply with requirements and
continue maintenance until turf is satisfactory.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 PLANTING AREA ESTABLISHMENT
A. Loosen subgrade of planting areas to a minimum depth of 4 inches. Remove stones
larger than 1-1/2 inches in any dimension and sticks, roots, rubbish, and other extraneous matter and legally dispose of them off Owner's property.
1. Spread planting soil to a depth of 4 inches but not less than required to meet finish grades after natural settlement. Do not spread if planting soil or subgrade is frozen, muddy, or excessively wet.
B. Finish Grading: Grade planting areas to a smooth, uniform surface plane with loose, uniformly fine texture. Roll and rake, remove ridges, and fill depressions to meet finish grades.
3.2 EXCAVATION FOR TREES AND SHRUBS
A. Planting Pits and Trenches: Excavate circular planting pits with sides sloping inward at
a 45-degree angle. Excavations with vertical sides are not acceptable. Trim perimeter
of bottom leaving center area of bottom raised slightly to support root ball and assist in drainage away from center. Do not further disturb base. Ensure that root ball will sit
on undisturbed base soil to prevent settling. Scarify sides of planting pit smeared or
smoothed during excavation.
1. Excavate approximately three times as wide as ball diameter.
2. Excavate at least 12 inches wider than root spread and deep enough to
accommodate vertical roots for bare-root stock. 3. Do not excavate deeper than depth of the root ball, measured from the root flare
to the bottom of the root ball.
B. Subsoil and topsoil removed from excavations maybe used as planting soil.
3.3 TREE, SHRUB, AND VINE PLANTING
A. Before planting, verify that root flare is visible at top of root ball according to ANSI Z60.1.
B. Remove stem girdling roots and kinked roots. Remove injured roots by cutting cleanly;
do not break.
C. Set stock plumb and in center of planting pit or trench with root flare 2 inches above
adjacent finish grades.
1. Use planting soil for backfill.
D. Bare-Root Stock: Set and support bare-root stock in center of planting pit or trench
with root flare 2 inches above adjacent finish grade.
ALFRED M. STIFF PROFESSIONAL BUILDING INTERIOR ALTERATION

above the surrounding soil. Apply enough soil to cover the downhill side of the root ball.
3.4 TREE, SHRUB, AND VINE PRUNING
A. Remove only dead, dying, or broken branches. Do not prune for shape.
B. Prune, thin, and shape trees, shrubs, and vines according to standard professional
horticultural and arboricultural practices. Unless otherwise indicated by Architect, do not cut tree leaders; remove only injured, dying, or dead branches from trees and shrubs; and prune to retain natural character.
3.5 GROUND COVER AND PLANT PLANTING
A. Set out and space ground cover and plants other than trees, shrubs, and vines in even
rows with triangular spacing.
B. Use planting soil for backfill.
C. Dig holes large enough to allow spreading of roots.
D. Work soil around roots to eliminate air pockets and leave a slight saucer indentation
around plants to hold water.
E. Water thoroughly after planting, taking care not to cover plant crowns with wet soil.
F. Protect plants from hot sun and wind; remove protection if plants show evidence of
recovery from transplanting shock.
3.6 PLANT MAINTENANCE
