THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRES­ENCE OF A NOTARY PUB­LIC OR OTH­ER OFFI­CIAL AUTHO­RIZED TO ADMIN­IS­TER OATHS.

2. I under­stand that a ​“pub­lic enti­ty crime” as defined in Sec­tion 287.133(1)(g) of the Flori­da Statutes, means a vio­la­tion of any state or fed­er­al law by a per­son with respect to and direct­ly relat­ed to the trans­ac­tion of busi­ness with any pub­lic enti­ty or with an agency or polit­i­cal sub­di­vi­sion of any oth­er state or of the Unit­ed States, includ­ing, but not lim­it­ed to, any bid or con­tract for goods or ser­vices to be pro­vid­ed to any pub­lic enti­ty or an agency or polit­i­cal sub­di­vi­sion of any oth­er state or of the Unit­ed States and involv­ing antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, col­lu­sion, rack­e­teer­ing, con­spir­a­cy or mate­r­i­al misrepresentation.

3. I under­stand that ​“con­vict­ed” or ​“con­vic­tion” as defined in Para­graph 287.133(1)(b), Flori­da Statutes, means a find­ing of guilt or a con­vic­tion of a pub­lic enti­ty crime, with or with­out an adju­di­ca­tion of guilt, in any fed­er­al or state tri­al court of record relat­ing to charges brought by indict­ment or infor­ma­tion after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury ver­dict, non-jury tri­al or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo con­tendere.

4. I under­stand that ​“affil­i­ate” as defined in Para­graph 287.133(1)(a), Flori­da Statures, means

The own­er­ship by one per­son of shares con­sti­tut­ing a con­trol­ling inter­est in anoth­er per­son, or a pool­ing of equip­ment or income among per­sons when not for fair mar­ket val­ue under an arm’s length agree­ment, shall be a pri­ma facie case that one per­son con­trols anoth­er per­son. A per­son who know­ing­ly enters into a joint ven­ture with a per­son who has been con­vict­ed of a pub­lic enti­ty crime in Flori­da dur­ing the pre­ced­ing 36 months shall be con­sid­ered an affiliate.

The term ​“per­son” includes those offi­cers, direc­tors, exec­u­tives, part­ners, share­hold­ers, and employ­ees, mem­bers, and agents who are active in man­age­ment of an entity.

6. Based on infor­ma­tion and belief, the state­ment which I have marked below is true in rela­tion to the enti­ty sub­mit­ting this sworn state­ment. (Indi­cate which state­ment applies.)

_​_​_​_​_​Neither the enti­ty sub­mit­ting this sworn state­ment, not any of its offi­cers, direc­tors, exec­u­tives, part­ners, share­hold­ers, employ­ees, mem­bers, or agents who are active in the man­age­ment of the enti­ty, nor any affil­i­ate of the enti­ty has been charged with and con­vict­ed of a pub­lic enti­ty crime sub­se­quent to July 1, 1989.

How­ev­er, there has been a sub­se­quent pro­ceed­ing before a Hear­ing Offi­cer of the State of Flori­da, Divi­sion of Admin­is­tra­tive Hear­ings and the Final Order entered by the Hear­ing Offi­cer deter­mined that it was not in the pub­lic inter­est to place the sub­mit­ting this sworn state­ment on the con­vict­ed ven­dor list. (Attach a copy of the final order.)

The Owner’s issuance of the Notice to Pro­ceed is express­ly con­di­tioned upon the sat­is­fac­tion of the fol­low­ing con­di­tion precedents:

1. The Per­for­mance Bond has been deliv­ered and is accept­able to the Owner,

Should Own­er deter­mine that all such con­di­tion prece­dents have not been sat­is­fied (or oth­er­wise waived in writ­ing by Own­er, in its sole dis­cre­tion), then Own­er may send Con­trac­tor writ­ten notice that Own­er has elect­ed to ter­mi­nate this Con­tract, in which event this Con­tract shall auto­mat­i­cal­ly be ter­mi­nat­ed and nei­ther par­ty shall have any fur­ther lia­bil­i­ty or oblig­a­tion here­un­der what­so­ev­er to the oth­er par­ty.

Sched­ule: The Work shall be per­formed and com­plet­ed by May 15, 2024 unless oth­er­wise approved by Owner.

Com­pen­sa­tion: As full con­sid­er­a­tion for the sat­is­fac­to­ry per­for­mance by Con­trac­tor of this Con­tract, Own­er shall pay to Con­trac­tor com­pen­sa­tion in accor­dance with the prices set forth in Exhib­it ​“Bid Pro­pos­al” and the pay­ment pro­vi­sions of the Project Documents.

Pay­ment Pro­ce­dures: The suc­cess­ful Bid­der shall be required as a pre-req­ui­site of the Notice to Pro­ceed to pro­vide the Own­er a ​“Sched­ule of Val­ues,” a state­ment allo­cat­ing por­tions of the Con­tract Price to var­i­ous por­tions of the Work and used as the basis for review­ing ​“Contractor’s Appli­ca­tion for Pay­ment.” Only a Contractor’s Appli­ca­tion for Pay­ment that cor­re­sponds direct­ly with the ​“Sched­ule of Val­ues” approved by the Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive will be accept­able for pay­ment consideration.

The Con­trac­tor shall sub­mit three (3) signed and nota­rized orig­i­nal copies of each Appli­ca­tion of Pay­ment (Invoice) for Work com­plet­ed and/​or stored to date along with waivers of lien, sched­ule updates and oth­er per­ti­nent infor­ma­tion.

The amount autho­rized for pay­ment will be made to the Con­trac­tor by the Own­er with­in thir­ty (30) days of the date of the Appli­ca­tion of Pay­ment.

These insur­ance require­ments shall not lim­it the lia­bil­i­ty of Contractor.

The insur­ance coverage(s) and lim­its required of Con­trac­tor under this Con­tract are designed to meet the min­i­mum require­ments of Own­er and the Own­er does not rep­re­sent these types or amounts of insur­ance to be suf­fi­cient or ade­quate to pro­tect the Contractor’s inter­ests or lia­bil­i­ties. Con­trac­tor alone shall be respon­si­ble to the suf­fi­cien­cy of its own insur­ance program.

The Con­trac­tor and the Contractor’s sub­con­trac­tors and sub-sub­con­trac­tors shall be sole­ly respon­si­ble for all of their prop­er­ty, includ­ing but not lim­it­ed to any mate­ri­als, tem­po­rary facil­i­ties, equip­ment and vehi­cles, and for obtain­ing ade­quate and appro­pri­ate insur­ance cov­er­ing any dam­age or loss to such prop­er­ty. The Con­trac­tor and the Contractor’s sub­con­trac­tors and sub-sub­con­trac­tors shall express­ly waive any claim against the Own­er aris­ing out of or relat­ing to any dam­age or loss of such prop­er­ty, even if such dam­age or loss is due to the fault or neglect of the Own­er or any­one for whom the Own­er is respon­si­ble. The Con­trac­tor is oblig­at­ed to include, or cause to be includ­ed, pro­vi­sions sim­i­lar to this para­graph in all of the Contractor’s sub­con­tracts and its subcontractor’s con­tracts with their sub-subcontractors.

The Contractor’s deductibles/​self insur­ance retention’s must be dis­closed to Own­er and are sub­ject to Owner’s approval. The Con­trac­tor is respon­si­ble of the amount of any deductible or self-insured reten­tion. Any deductible or reten­tion applic­a­ble to any claim or loss shall be the respon­si­bil­i­ty of Con­trac­tor and shall not be greater than $25,000, unless oth­er­wise agreed to, in writ­ing, by Owner.

Insur­ance required of the Con­trac­tor or any oth­er insur­ance of the Con­trac­tor shall be con­sid­ered pri­ma­ry, and insur­ance of Own­er shall be con­sid­ered excess, as may be applic­a­ble to claims or loss­es which arise out of or relate to the Work or this Project.

This Con­tract embod­ies the entire agree­ment between Own­er and Con­trac­tor and super­sedes all oth­er writ­ings. The par­ties shall not be bound by or be liable for any state­ment, rep­re­sen­ta­tion, promise, induce­ment, or under­stand­ing not set forth herein.

The fail­ure of Con­trac­tor to acquaint itself with any applic­a­ble con­di­tions will not relieve Con­trac­tor of the respon­si­bil­i­ty for prop­er­ly esti­mat­ing the dif­fi­cul­ties, time or cost of suc­cess­ful­ly per­form­ing Contractor’s oblig­a­tions under this Contract.

GC-16 Dif­fer­ing Site Conditions

Where the Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive has made inves­ti­ga­tions of sub­sur­face, sur­face and soil con­di­tions in areas where work is to be per­formed under this Con­tract, such inves­ti­ga­tions are made by Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive for the pur­pose of study and design.

Own­er reserves the right to require Con­trac­tor to sched­ule the order of per­for­mance of the Work in such a man­ner as will min­i­mize the inter­fer­ence with work of any of the par­ties involved.

GC-19 Respon­si­bil­i­ty for Work, Secu­ri­ty and Property

Con­trac­tor shall be respon­si­ble for and shall bear any and all risk of loss or dam­age to work in progress and, pur­suant to the Spe­cial Con­di­tion titled ​“Title and Risk of Loss,” to equip­ment and mate­ri­als. Con­trac­tor shall be respon­si­ble for all receiv­ing and unload­ing of mate­ri­als for the Work, stor­ing of mate­ri­als and equip­ment sub­ject to degra­da­tion by the ele­ments and secure same from oth­er dam­age or loss. Con­trac­tor shall at all times con­duct all oper­a­tions under this Con­tract in a man­ner to avoid the risk of loss, theft, or dam­age by van­dal­ism, sab­o­tage or any oth­er means to any equip­ment, mate­ri­als, work or oth­er prop­er­ty at the Job­site.

Upon com­ple­tion of the Work and pri­or to final pay­ment, Con­trac­tor shall at its expense sat­is­fac­to­ri­ly dis­pose of all rub­bish, remove all plant, build­ings, equip­ment and mate­ri­als belong­ing to Con­trac­tor and return to Owner’s ware­house or Job­site stor­age area all sal­vage­able Own­er sup­plied mate­ri­als. Con­trac­tor shall leave the premis­es in a neat, clean and safe condition.

In event of Contractor’s fail­ure to com­ply with the fore­go­ing require­ments, Own­er may accom­plish same at Contractor’s expense.

GC-21 Contractor’s Plant, Equip­ment and Facilities

Con­trac­tor shall pro­vide and use for the Work only such con­struc­tion plant and equip­ment as are capa­ble of pro­duc­ing the qual­i­ty and quan­ti­ty of work and mate­ri­als required by this con­tract and with­in the time or times spec­i­fied in the Con­tract Documents.

Before pro­ceed­ing with the Work, Con­trac­tor shall fur­nish Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive and Own­er with infor­ma­tion and draw­ings rel­a­tive to such equip­ment, plant and facil­i­ties as Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive or Own­er may request. Upon writ­ten order of Own­er or Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive, Con­trac­tor shall dis­con­tin­ue oper­a­tion of unsat­is­fac­to­ry plant, equip­ment or facil­i­ties and shall either mod­i­fy the unsat­is­fac­to­ry items or remove such items from the Jobsite.

GC-22 Use of Com­plet­ed Por­tions of Work

When­ev­er, as deter­mined by Own­er, any por­tion of the Work per­formed by Con­trac­tor is suit­able for use, Own­er may, upon writ­ten notice, occu­py and use such por­tion. Use shall not con­sti­tute accep­tance, relieve Con­trac­tor of its respon­si­bil­i­ties, or act as a waiv­er by Own­er of any terms of this contract.

Con­trac­tor shall not be liable for nor­mal wear and tear or for repair of dam­age caused by any mis­use dur­ing such occu­pan­cy or use by Own­er. If such use increas­es the cost or time of per­for­mance of remain­ing por­tions of the Work, Con­trac­tor shall, pur­suant to the Gen­er­al Con­di­tion titled ​“Changes,” be enti­tled to an equi­table adjust­ment in its com­pen­sa­tion or sched­ule under this contract.

If, as a result of Contractor’s fail­ure to com­ply with the pro­vi­sions of this con­tract, such use proves to be unsat­is­fac­to­ry to Own­er, Own­er shall have the right to con­tin­ue such use until such por­tion of the Work can, with­out injury to Own­er, be tak­en out of ser­vice for cor­rec­tion of defects, errors, omis­sions or replace­ment of unsat­is­fac­to­ry mate­ri­als or equip­ment as nec­es­sary for such por­tion of the Work to com­ply with the con­tract; pro­vid­ed that the peri­od of such oper­a­tion or use pend­ing com­ple­tion of appro­pri­ate reme­di­al action shall not exceed twelve (12) months unless oth­er­wise mutu­al­ly agreed in writ­ing between the parties.

Con­trac­tor shall not use any per­ma­nent­ly installed equip­ment until such use is approved in writ­ing by Own­er. When such use is approved, Con­trac­tor shall, at Contractor’s expense prop­er­ly use and main­tain and, upon com­ple­tion of such use, recon­di­tion such equip­ment as required to meet specifications.

If Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive or Own­er fur­nish­es an oper­a­tor for such per­ma­nent­ly installed equip­ment, all ser­vices per­formed shall be under the com­plete direc­tion and con­trol of Con­trac­tor, and such oper­a­tor shall be con­sid­ered Contractor’s employ­ee for all pur­pos­es oth­er than pay­ment of such operator’s wages, Worker’s Com­pen­sa­tion Insur­ance or oth­er benefits.

GC-23 Inspec­tion, Qual­i­ty Sur­veil­lance, Rejec­tion of Mate­ri­als and Workmanship

All mate­r­i­al and equip­ment fur­nished and work per­formed shall be prop­er­ly inspect­ed by Con­trac­tor at its expense, and shall at all times be sub­ject to qual­i­ty sur­veil­lance and qual­i­ty audit by Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive, Own­er or their autho­rized rep­re­sen­ta­tives who, upon rea­son­able notice, shall be afford­ed full and free access to the shops, fac­to­ries or oth­er places of busi­ness of Con­trac­tor and its sup­pli­ers and sub­con­trac­tors of any tier for such qual­i­ty sur­veil­lance or audit. Con­trac­tor shall pro­vide safe and ade­quate facil­i­ties, draw­ings, doc­u­ments and sam­ples as request­ed, and shall pro­vide assis­tance and coop­er­a­tion includ­ing stop­page of work to per­form such exam­i­na­tion as may be nec­es­sary to deter­mine com­pli­ance with the require­ments of this con­tract. Any work cov­ered pri­or to any qual­i­ty sur­veil­lance or test by Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive or Own­er shall be uncov­ered and replaced at the expense of con­trac­tor if such cov­er­ing inter­feres with or obstructs such inspec­tion or test. Fail­ure of Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive or Own­er to make such qual­i­ty sur­veil­lance or to dis­cov­er defec­tive design, equip­ment, mate­ri­als or work­man­ship shall not relieve Con­trac­tor of its oblig­a­tions under this con­tract nor prej­u­dice the rights of Own­er there­after to reject or require the cor­rec­tion of defec­tive work in accor­dance with the pro­vi­sions of this contract.

If any work is deter­mined by Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive or Own­er to be defec­tive or not in con­for­mance with this con­tract the pro­vi­sions of the Gen­er­al Con­di­tion titled ​“War­ran­ty” shall apply.

GC-24 Test­ing

Unless oth­er­wise pro­vid­ed in the Con­tract, test­ing of soils, equip­ment, mate­ri­als or work shall be per­formed by Con­trac­tor at its expense and in accor­dance with the Project Doc­u­ments. Should tests in addi­tion to those required by this Con­tract be desired by the Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive, Con­trac­tor will be giv­en rea­son­able notice by the Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive for such test­ing and at the Owner’s expense.

GC-25 Expe­dit­ing

The equip­ment and mate­ri­als fur­nished and work per­formed under this con­tract shall be sub­ject to expe­dit­ing by Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive and/​or Own­er or their rep­re­sen­ta­tive who shall be afford­ed full and free access to the shops, fac­to­ries, and oth­er places of busi­ness of Con­trac­tor and its sup­pli­ers and sub­con­trac­tors of any tier for expe­dit­ing pur­pos­es. As required by Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive or Own­er, Con­trac­tor shall pro­vide detailed sched­ules and progress reports for use in expe­dit­ing and shall coop­er­ate with Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive and/​or Own­er in expe­dit­ing activities.

GC-26 Excus­able Delays

If Contractor’s per­for­mance of this Con­tract is pre­vent­ed or delayed by any unfore­see­able cause, exist­ing or future, which is beyond the rea­son­able con­trol of the par­ties and with­out the fault or neg­li­gence of Con­trac­tor, Con­trac­tor shall, with­in twen­ty-four (24) hours of the com­mence­ment of any such delay, give the Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive writ­ten notice there­of and with­in sev­en (7) cal­en­dar days of com­mence­ment of the delay, a writ­ten descrip­tion of the antic­i­pat­ed impact of the delay on per­for­mance of the Work. Delays attrib­ut­able to with­in the con­trol of Contractor’s sup­pli­ers or sub­con­trac­tors of any tier shall be deemed delays with­in the con­trol of Con­trac­tor. Con­trac­tor express­ly acknowl­edges and agrees that it shall receive no dam­ages for delay and Contractor’s so rem­e­dy, if any, against Own­er will be the right to seek an exten­sion of time.

GC-27 Changes

Own­er may at any time, with­out notice to the sureties if any, by writ­ten Change Order uni­lat­er­al­ly make any change in the Work with­in the gen­er­al scope of this Con­tract, includ­ing but not lim­it­ed to changes in the method, man­ner and sequence of Con­trac­tor work, in Own­er fur­nished facil­i­ties, equip­ment, mate­ri­als ser­vices or site(s) and direct­ing accel­er­a­tion or decel­er­a­tion in per­for­mance of the Work and mod­i­fy­ing the Con­tract Sched­ule or the Con­tract Milestones.

If the Own­er and Con­trac­tor are unable to agree on a Change Order for the request­ed change, Con­trac­tor shall, nev­er­the­less, prompt­ly per­form the change as direct­ed by the Own­er in a writ­ten Con­struc­tion Change Direc­tive. In that event, the Con­tract Price and Con­tract Time shall be adjust­ed in the Con­struc­tion Change Direc­tive as deter­mined by the Own­er. If Con­trac­tor dis­agrees with the Owner’s adjust­ment deter­mi­na­tion, Con­trac­tor must make a claim strict­ly in accor­dance with the terms of this Gen­er­al Con­di­tion or else be deemed to have waived any claim it might oth­er­wise have had on that matter.

In addi­tion, in the event of an emer­gency which Own­er deter­mines endan­gers life or prop­er­ty, Own­er may use oral orders to Con­trac­tor for any work required by rea­son of such emer­gency. Con­trac­tor shall com­mence and com­plete such emer­gency work as direc­tor by the Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive and such orders will be con­firmed by writ­ten Change Order.

If at any time Con­trac­tor believes that acts or omis­sions of Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive con­sti­tute a change to the Work not cov­ered by a Change Order or require­ments of the Project Doc­u­ments, Con­trac­tor shall with­in sev­en (7) cal­en­dar days of dis­cov­ery of such act or omis­sion sub­mit a writ­ten Change Order Request explain­ing in detail the basis for the request. The Own­er will either issue a Change Order or deny the request in writing.

If Con­trac­tor intends to assert a claim for an equi­table adjust­ment under this clause it must, with­in ten (10) cal­en­dar days after receipt of a Change Order or denial of same pro­vide writ­ten noti­fi­ca­tion of such intent and with­in a fur­ther twen­ty (20) cal­en­dar days, sub­mit to Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive a writ­ten pro­pos­al set­ting forth the nature, sched­ule, impact and mon­e­tary extent of such claim in suf­fi­cient detail to per­mit thor­ough analy­sis and negotiations.

Change Order Requests from the Con­trac­tor shall be pre­sent­ed to the Own­er in suf­fi­cient detail to allow for eval­u­a­tion. Min­i­mum infor­ma­tion shall include Con­trac­tor, Sub-con­trac­tor and Sub-sub-con­trac­tor item­iza­tion of Labor, Mate­ri­als and Equip­ment costs includ­ed in the Change Order. Labor shall include labor-hours and hourly rates. Hourly rates will be the direct hourly rate of the per­son­nel per­form­ing the work plus an allow­able labor bur­den. The labor bur­den shall either be an audit­ed labor bur­den or 0.5%, if an audit­ed rate is not avail­able. Mate­r­i­al and Equip­ment shall be includ­ed at their direct costs, which shall be sup­port­ed by item­ized invoic­es for billing. If equip­ment is rent­ed thru a relat­ed com­pa­ny, the rental rate shall be no greater than the aver­age rental rate for sim­i­lar equip­ment in Bay Coun­ty. Relat­ed com­pa­ny shall mean a com­pa­ny owned or con­trolled by any own­er or offi­cer of the Con­trac­tor and Subcontractor.

Addi­tion­al Gen­er­al Con­di­tions shall not be includ­ed in a Change Order unless the Change Order changes effects the crit­i­cal path and changes the Time of Com­ple­tion. Any change order request affect­ing the crit­i­cal path shall include a detailed sched­ule show the change effect on the crit­i­cal path.

Any delay by Con­trac­tor in giv­ing notice or pre­sent­ing a pro­pos­al for adjust­ment under this clause shall be grounds for rejec­tion and waiv­er of the claim and in no case shall a claim by Con­trac­tor be con­sid­ered if assert­ed after final pay­ment under this Contract.

Con­trac­tor shall pro­ceed dili­gent­ly with per­for­mance of the Work, pend­ing final res­o­lu­tion of any request for relief, dis­pute, claim, appeal, or action aris­ing under the Con­tract, and com­ply with any direc­tion from the Own­er or its representative.

GC-28 Dis­putes

Con­trac­tor shall not be enti­tled to claim and nei­ther Own­er nor its rep­re­sen­ta­tive shall be liable to Con­trac­tor or its sup­pli­ers or sub­con­trac­tors of any tier in tort (includ­ing neg­li­gence), or con­tract except as specif­i­cal­ly pro­vid­ed in this Con­tract. Any claim aris­ing out of or attrib­ut­able to the inter­pre­ta­tion or per­for­mance of this Con­tract which can­not be resolved by nego­ti­a­tion shall be con­sid­ered a dis­pute with­in the mean­ing of this clause. If for any rea­son Own­er and Con­trac­tor are unable to resolve a claim for an adjust­ment, Con­trac­tor shall noti­fy Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive in writ­ing that a dis­pute exists and request a final deter­mi­na­tion by Own­er. Own­er shall, with­in thir­ty (30) cal­en­dar days of its receipt of any writ­ten request by Con­trac­tor, pro­vide a writ­ten final deter­mi­na­tion set­ting for the con­trac­tu­al basis for its deci­sion and defin­ing what con­tract adjust­ments it con­sid­ers equi­table. Upon Contractor’s writ­ten accep­tance of Owner’s deter­mi­na­tion, the Con­tract will be mod­i­fied and the deter­mi­na­tion imple­ment­ed accord­ing­ly or, fail­ing agree­ment, the dis­pute res­o­lu­tion pro­ce­dures as set forth in the Spe­cial Con­di­tions titled ​“Dis­pute Res­o­lu­tion” shall be com­plied with.

GC-29 Records and Audit

The Con­trac­tor shall main­tain an accept­able cost account­ing sys­tem. The Con­trac­tor agrees to pro­vide the Spon­sor, the Fed­er­al Avi­a­tion Admin­is­tra­tion and the Comp­trol­ler Gen­er­al of the Unit­ed States or any of their duly autho­rized rep­re­sen­ta­tives’ access to any books, doc­u­ments, papers, and records of the con­trac­tor which are direct­ly per­ti­nent to the spe­cif­ic con­tract for the pur­pose of mak­ing audit, exam­i­na­tion, excerpts and tran­scrip­tions. The Con­trac­tor agrees to main­tain all books, records and reports required under this con­tract for a peri­od of not less than three years after final pay­ment is made and all pend­ing mat­ters are closed.

Con­trac­tor shall main­tain records and accounts in con­nec­tion with the per­for­mance of this Con­tract which will accu­rate­ly doc­u­ment incurred costs, both direct and indi­rect, of what­ev­er nature for a peri­od of three (3) years from the Final Accep­tance of the Work unless a longer peri­od of time is oth­er­wise spec­i­fied by applic­a­ble law. Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive shall have the right to exam­ine and copy, at all rea­son­able times and with advance noti­fi­ca­tion, such records and accounts for the pur­pose of ver­i­fy­ing pay­ments or requests for pay­ment when costs are the basis of such pay­ment and to eval­u­ate the rea­son­able­ness of pro­posed con­tract price adjust­ments and claims.

GC-30 War­ran­ty

Con­trac­tor war­rants to Own­er that mate­ri­als fur­nished under this con­tract shall be of clear title and of the most suit­able grade of their respec­tive kinds for their intend­ed uses, unless oth­er­wise spec­i­fied and shall also con­form to the require­ments of this Con­tract. All work­man­ship shall be first class and per­formed in accor­dance with sound con­struc­tion prac­tices accept­able to Own­er or its representative.

If at any time pri­or to Final Accep­tance or after Final Accep­tance in cas­es of latent defects, fraud or such gross mis­takes as amount to fraud, Own­er, Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive, or Con­trac­tor dis­cov­er any defect in the equip­ment, mate­ri­als, work­man­ship, or Con­trac­tor-pro­vid­ed design, imme­di­ate writ­ten notice shall be giv­en to the oth­er par­ties. Con­trac­tor shall with­in a rea­son­able time pro­pose cor­rec­tive actions to cure such defects.

Own­er may at its sole dis­cre­tion, or through Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive, direct Con­trac­tor in writ­ing and Con­trac­tor agrees to:

1. Rework, repair, or remove and replace defec­tive equip­ment and mate­ri­als or re-per­form defec­tive work­man­ship to accept­able qual­i­ty at a time and in a man­ner accept­able to Owner;

1. Coop­er­ate with oth­ers assigned by Own­er to cor­rect such defects and pay to Own­er all actu­al costs rea­son­ably incurred by Own­er in per­form­ing or in hav­ing per­formed cor­rec­tive actions; or

1. 3. Pro­pose and nego­ti­ate in good faith an equi­table reduc­tion in the Con­tract price in lieu of cor­rec­tive action.

GC-31 Backcharges

Own­er may, in addi­tion to any oth­er amounts to be retained as defined in the Con­tract, retain from any sums oth­er­wise owing to Con­trac­tor amounts suf­fi­cient to cov­er the full costs of any Con­trac­tor fail­ure to com­ply with pro­vi­sions of this Con­tract or Con­trac­tor acts or omis­sions in the per­for­mance of any part of this Con­tract, includ­ing but not lim­it­ed to, vio­la­tion of any applic­a­ble law, order, rule, or reg­u­la­tion, includ­ing those regard­ing safe­ty, haz­ardous mate­ri­als or envi­ron­men­tal require­ments; cor­rec­tion of defec­tive or non­con­form­ing work by repair, rework, replace­ment or oth­er appro­pri­ate means when Con­trac­tor states, or by its actions indi­cates, that it is unable or unwill­ing to pro­ceed with cor­rec­tive action in a rea­son­able time; and/​or the Own­er is required to take action or per­form work for Con­trac­tor, such as cleanup, off-load­ing or com­ple­tion of incom­plete work.

Own­er may also backcharge against Con­trac­tor for work done or cost incurred to rem­e­dy these or any oth­er Con­trac­tor defaults, errors, omis­sions or fail­ures to per­form or observe any part of this Con­tract. Own­er may, but shall not be required to, give Con­trac­tor writ­ten notice before per­form­ing such actions or work or incur­ring such cost. Cost of backcharge work shall include labor costs includ­ing pay­roll addi­tives, incurred net deliv­ered mate­r­i­al costs, incurred low­er-tier sup­pli­er and sub­con­trac­tor costs direct­ly relat­ed to per­form­ing the cor­rec­tive action, equip­ment and tool rentals are pre­vail­ing rates in the Job­site area and a fac­tor, deter­mined by the Own­er, but not greater than six­ty per­cent (60%), shall be applied to the total of these items for Owner’s over­head, super­vi­sion, admin­is­tra­tive and oth­er relat­ed costs.

Own­er shall sep­a­rate­ly invoice or deduct and retain from pay­ments oth­er­wise due to Con­trac­tor the cost as pro­vid­ed here­in. Owner’s right to backcharge is in addi­tion to any and all oth­er rights and reme­dies pro­vid­ed in this Con­tract or by law. The per­for­mance of backcharge work by Own­er shall not relieve Con­trac­tor of any of its respon­si­bil­i­ties under this Con­tract includ­ing but not lim­it­ed to express or implied war­ranties, spec­i­fied stan­dards for qual­i­ty, con­trac­tu­al lia­bil­i­ties an indem­ni­fi­ca­tions, and meet­ing the mile­stones of the Spe­cial Con­di­tion titled ​“Com­mence­ment, Progress and Com­ple­tion of the Work.”

GC-32 Indem­ni­ty

To the max­i­mum extent per­mit­ted by Flori­da law, Con­trac­tor shall indem­ni­fy and hold harm­less Own­er and its offi­cers and employ­ees and its rep­re­sen­ta­tives from any and all lia­bil­i­ties, claims, dam­ages, penal­ties, demands, judg­ments, actions, pro­ceed­ings, loss­es or costs, includ­ing, but not lim­it­ed to, rea­son­able attor­neys’ fees and para­le­gals’ fees, whether result­ing from (1) any claimed breach of this Con­tract by Con­trac­tor or (2) from per­son­al injury, prop­er­ty dam­age, direct or con­se­quen­tial dam­ages, or eco­nom­ic loss, to the extent caused by the neg­li­gence, reck­less­ness, or inten­tion­al wrong­ful mis­con­duct of Con­trac­tor or any­one employed or uti­lized by the Con­trac­tor in the per­for­mance of this Contract.

GC-33 Con­se­quen­tial Damages

Except as express­ly pro­vid­ed below in the sec­ond para­graph of this Sec­tion GC-33, Con­trac­tor and Own­er shall waive all claims against each oth­er for con­se­quen­tial dam­ages aris­ing out of or relat­ing to this Con­tract. This mutu­al waiv­er includes dam­ages incurred by Own­er for rental expens­es, for loss­es of use, income, prof­it, financ­ing, busi­ness and rep­u­ta­tion, and for loss of man­age­ment or employ­ee pro­duc­tiv­i­ty or of the ser­vices of such per­sons; and dam­ages incurred by the Con­trac­tor for prin­ci­pal office expens­es includ­ing the com­pen­sa­tion of per­son­nel sta­tioned there, for loss­es of financ­ing, busi­ness and rep­u­ta­tion, and for loss of prof­it except antic­i­pat­ed prof­it aris­ing direct­ly from the Work. This mutu­al waiv­er is applic­a­ble, with­out lim­i­ta­tion, to all con­se­quen­tial dam­ages due to either party’s ter­mi­na­tion in accor­dance with the require­ments herein.

Notwith­stand­ing any­thing in this Sec­tion GC-33 or any oth­er term of the Project Doc­u­ments to the con­trary, it is acknowl­edged and agreed by Con­trac­tor that express­ly exclud­ed from the above ref­er­enced waiv­er of con­se­quen­tial dam­ages pro­vi­sions are any con­se­quen­tial dam­ages aris­ing out of or relat­ing to this Con­tract suf­fered by Own­er for which Con­trac­tor oth­er­wise would be liable as pro­vid­ed in the fol­low­ing three (3) sen­tences. Con­se­quen­tial dam­ages are not waived by Own­er to the extent such con­se­quen­tial dam­ages would be cov­ered and paid for by any applic­a­ble insur­ance. Fur­ther, with respect to such con­se­quen­tial dam­ages incurred by Own­er that are not paid by any applic­a­ble insur­ance, Own­er does not waive and Con­trac­tor shall be liable to Own­er for such con­se­quen­tial dam­ages up to the total cumu­la­tive amount of those rea­son­able amounts expect­ed by Con­trac­tor as prof­it. Fur­ther still, with respect to any con­se­quen­tial dam­ages incurred by Own­er that are due to the gross neg­li­gence or inten­tion­al wrong­ful acts or omis­sions of Con­trac­tor or any­one for whom Con­trac­tor is respon­si­ble, Own­er does not waive and Con­trac­tor shall be liable to Own­er for all such con­se­quen­tial dam­ages. Noth­ing here­in shall be con­strued as a cap or lim­i­ta­tion on any liq­ui­dat­ed dam­ages Con­trac­tor may owe Own­er pur­suant to the terms of the Project Documents.

GC-34 Assign­ments and Subcontracts

Any assign­ment of this Con­tract or rights here­un­der, in whole or part, with­out the pri­or writ­ten con­sent of Own­er shall be void, except that upon ten (10) cal­en­dars days writ­ten notice to Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive, Con­trac­tor may assign monies due or to become due under this Con­tract, pro­vid­ed that any assign­ment of monies shall be sub­ject to prop­er set-offs in favor of Own­er and any deduc­tions pro­vid­ed for in this Con­tract. Pur­chase orders and sub­con­tracts of any tier must include pro­vi­sions to secure all rights and reme­dies of Own­er pro­vid­ed under this Con­tract and must impose upon the low­er-tier sup­pli­er and sub­con­trac­tor all of the duties and oblig­a­tions required to ful­fill this Con­tract. No assign­ment or sub­con­tract shall relieve Con­trac­tor or its sureties of the respon­si­bil­i­ties under this Contract.

GC-35 Sus­pen­sion

Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive may by writ­ten notice to Con­trac­tor sus­pend at any time the per­for­mance of all or any por­tion of the Work to be per­formed under the Con­tract. After receipt of such notice, Con­trac­tor shall imme­di­ate­ly dis­con­tin­ue work on the date and to the extent spec­i­fied in the notice, place no fur­ther orders or sub­con­tracts for mate­r­i­al, ser­vices, or facil­i­ties with respect to the sus­pend­ed work oth­er than to the extent required in the notice, con­tin­ue to pro­tect and main­tain the Work includ­ing those por­tions on which work has been sus­pend­ed, and take any oth­er rea­son­able steps to min­i­mize cost asso­ci­at­ed with such suspension.

Upon receipt of notice to resume sus­pend­ed work, Con­trac­tor shall imme­di­ate­ly resume per­for­mance under this Con­tract to the extent required in the notice.

GC-36 Ter­mi­na­tion for Default

Notwith­stand­ing any oth­er pro­vi­sions of this con­tract, Con­trac­tor shall be con­sid­ered in default of its con­trac­tu­al oblig­a­tions under this Con­tract if it per­forms work which fails to con­form to the require­ments of this Con­tract; fails to make progress so as to endan­ger per­for­mance of this con­tract with­in the required time peri­ods; aban­dons or refus­es to pro­ceed with any of the Work, includ­ing mod­i­fi­ca­tions or changes direct­ed pur­suant to the Gen­er­al Con­di­tions titled ​“Changes;” fails to ful­fill or com­ply with any of the terms of this Con­tract’ engages in behav­ior that is dis­hon­est, fraud­u­lent or con­sti­tutes a con­flict of inter­est with Contractor’s oblig­a­tions under this Con­tract; or Con­trac­tor becomes insol­vent or makes a gen­er­al assign­ment for the ben­e­fit of cred­i­tors or rea­son­able grounds for inse­cu­ri­ty arise with respect to Contractor’s performance.

Upon the occur­rence of any of the fore­go­ing, Own­er shall noti­fy Con­trac­tor in writ­ing of the nature of the fail­ure and of Owner’s inten­tion to ter­mi­nate the Con­tract for default. If Con­trac­tor does not cure such fail­ure with­in sev­en (7) cal­en­dar days from receipt of noti­fi­ca­tion, or soon­er if safe­ty is involved, or fails to pro­vide sat­is­fac­to­ry evi­dence that such default will be cor­rect­ed with­in a rea­son­able time, Own­er may, by writ­ten notice to Con­trac­tor, and with­out notice to Contractor’s sureties, if any, ter­mi­nate in whole or in part Contractor’s right to pro­ceed with the Work and Own­er may pros­e­cute the Work to com­ple­tion by con­tract or by any oth­er method deemed expe­di­ent. Own­er may take pos­ses­sion of and uti­lize any data, designs, licens­es, equip­ment, mate­ri­als, plant, tools, and prop­er­ty to any kind fur­nished by Con­trac­tor and nec­es­sary to com­plete the Work.

Con­trac­tor and its sureties, if any, shall be liable for all costs in excess of the Con­tract price for such ter­mi­nat­ed work incurred by Own­er in the com­ple­tion of the Work, includ­ing cost of admin­is­tra­tion of any pur­chase order or sub­con­tract award­ed to oth­ers for completion.

Upon ter­mi­na­tion for default, Con­trac­tor shall imme­di­ate­ly dis­con­tin­ue work on the date and to the extent spec­i­fied in the notice and place no fur­ther pur­chase orders or sub­con­tracts to the extent that they relate to the per­for­mance of the ter­mi­nat­ed work; inven­to­ry, main­tain and turn over to Own­er all data, designs, licens­es, equip­ment, mate­ri­als, plant, tools, and prop­er­ty fur­nished by Con­trac­tor or pro­vid­ed by Own­er for per­for­mance of the ter­mi­nat­ed work; prompt­ly obtain can­cel­la­tion upon terms sat­is­fac­to­ry to Own­er of all pur­chase orders, sub­con­tracts, rentals, or any oth­er agree­ments exist­ing for per­for­mance of the ter­mi­nat­ed work or assign those agree­ments as direc­tor by Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive; coop­er­ate with Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive in the trans­fer of data, designs, licens­es, and infor­ma­tion and dis­po­si­tion of work in progress so as to mit­i­gate dam­ages; com­ply with oth­er rea­son­able requests from Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive regard­ing the ter­mi­nat­ed work; and con­tin­ue to per­form in accor­dance with all of the terms and con­di­tions of this Con­tract such por­tion of the Work that is not terminated.

If, after ter­mi­na­tion pur­suant to this clause, it is deter­mined for any rea­son that Con­trac­tor was not in default, the rights and oblig­a­tions of the par­ties shall be the same as if the notice of ter­mi­na­tion had been issued pur­suant to the Gen­er­al Con­di­tion enti­tle Option­al Termination.

GC-37 Option­al Termination

Own­er may, at its option, ter­mi­nate for con­ve­nience any of the Work under this Con­tract in whole or, from time to time, in part, at any time by writ­ten notice to Con­trac­tor. Such notice shall spec­i­fy the extent to which the per­for­mance of the Work is ter­mi­nat­ed and the effec­tive date of such termination.

Upon receipt of such notice Con­trac­tor shall imme­di­ate­ly dis­con­tin­ue the Work on the date and to the extent spec­i­fied in the notice and place no fur­ther pur­chase orders or sub­con­tracts for mate­ri­als, ser­vices, or facil­i­ties, oth­er than as may be required for com­ple­tion of such por­tion of the Work that is not ter­mi­nat­ed; prompt­ly obtain assign­ment or can­cel­la­tion upon terms sat­is­fac­to­ry to Own­er of all pur­chase orders, sub­con­tracts, rentals, or any oth­er agree­ments exist­ing for the per­for­mance of the ter­mi­nat­ed work or assign those agree­ments as direct­ed by Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive; assist Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive in the main­te­nance, pro­tec­tion and dis­po­si­tion of work in progress, plant, tools, equip­ment, prop­er­ty and mate­ri­als acquired by Con­trac­tor or fur­nished by Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive under this Con­tract; and com­plete per­for­mance of such por­tion of the Work which is not terminated.

Upon any such ter­mi­na­tion, Con­trac­tor shall waive any claims for dam­ages includ­ing loss of antic­i­pat­ed prof­its; on account there­of, but as the sole right and rem­e­dy of Con­trac­tor, Own­er shall pay in accor­dance with (1) the Con­tract price cor­re­spond­ing to the work per­formed in accor­dance with this Con­tract pri­or to such notice of ter­mi­na­tion; (2) all rea­son­able costs for work there­after per­formed as spec­i­fied in such notice; (3) rea­son­able admin­is­tra­tive costs of set­tling and pay­ing claims aris­ing out of the ter­mi­na­tion of work under pur­chase orders or sub­con­tracts; (4) rea­son­able increased costs incurred in demo­bi­liza­tion and the dis­po­si­tion of resid­ual mate­r­i­al, plant, and equip­ment; and (5) rea­son­able over­head and prof­it on items 2 through 4.

Con­tac­tor shall sub­mit with thir­ty (30) cal­en­dar days after receipt of notice of ter­mi­na­tion, a writ­ten state­ment set­ting forth its pro­pos­al for an adjust­ment to the Con­tract price to include only the incurred costs described in this clause. Own­er and its rep­re­sen­ta­tive shall review, ana­lyze, and ver­i­fy such pro­pos­al, and nego­ti­ate an equi­table adjust­ment, and the Con­tract shall be mod­i­fied accordingly.

GC-38 Final Inspec­tion and Acceptance

When Con­trac­tor con­sid­ers the Work, or any Own­er iden­ti­fied inde­pen­dent por­tion of the Work under this Con­tract to be com­plete and ready for accep­tance, Con­trac­tor shall noti­fy Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive in writ­ing. Own­er and its rep­re­sen­ta­tive, with Contractor’s coop­er­a­tion, will con­duct such reviews, inspec­tions and tests as may be rea­son­ably required to sat­is­fy the Own­er and its rep­re­sen­ta­tive that the Work, or iden­ti­fied por­tion of the Work, con­forms to all require­ments of the Con­tract. If all or any part of the Work cov­ered by Contractor’s notice does not con­form to con­tract require­ments, Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive shall noti­fy Con­trac­tor of such non­con­for­mance and Con­trac­tor shall take cor­rec­tive action and then have the non­con­form­ing work re-inspect­ed until all con­tract require­ments are satisfied.

Owner’s writ­ten Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of Final Accep­tance of the Work under this Con­tract shall be final and con­clu­sive except with regard to latent defects, fraud or such gross mis­take as amount to fraud, or with regard to Owner’s rights under the Gen­er­al Con­di­tions titled ​“War­ran­ty”.

GC-39 Non-Waiv­er

Fail­ure by Own­er to insist upon strict per­for­mance of any terms or con­di­tions of this con­tract, or fail­ure or delay to exer­cise any rights or reme­dies here­in or by law, or fail­ure to prop­er­ly noti­fy Con­trac­tor in the event of breach, or the accep­tance of or pay­ment for any goods or ser­vices, here­un­der, or the review or fail­ure to review designs shall not release Con­trac­tor from any of the war­ranties or oblig­a­tions of this Con­tract and shall not be deemed a waiv­er of any right of Own­er to insist upon strict per­for­mance here­of or any of its rights or reme­dies as to any pri­or or sub­se­quent default here­un­der nor shall any ter­mi­na­tion of work under this con­tract by Own­er oper­ate as a waiv­er of any of the terms hereof.

GC-40 Gov­ern­ment Restrict­ed Par­ties and Commodities

Con­trac­tor acknowl­edges that all applic­a­ble export rules and reg­u­la­tions of the ori­gin coun­tries shall apply to the exports of com­modi­ties, soft­ware and tech­nol­o­gy (tech­ni­cal data and assis­tance) under this con­tract. Con­trac­tor also acknowl­edges that oth­er rules and reg­u­la­tions may restrict the use of cer­tain par­ties under this con­tract. Such rules and reg­u­la­tions are gen­er­al­ly described below.

1. Restrict­ed Par­ties Lists

Coun­try gov­ern­ments and inter­na­tion­al orga­ni­za­tions such as the Unit­ed Nations and Euro­pean Union pub­lish Restrict­ed Par­ties List (“Lists”) that iden­ti­fy par­ties (such as known or sus­pect­ed ter­ror­ists, mon­ey laun­der­ers and drug traf­fick­ers) restrict­ed from cer­tain or all types of trans­ac­tions. Con­trac­tor shall review all applic­a­ble Lists pri­or to ini­ti­at­ing trans­ac­tions with any third par­ty for the per­for­mance of all or any por­tion of the Work to ensure such third par­ty is not iden­ti­fied on any applic­a­ble Lists. Con­trac­tor shall not enter into any trans­ac­tions with any third par­ty iden­ti­fied on any applic­a­ble Lists.

2. Licens­ing Requirements

a. Gen­er­al: Each coun­try has export reg­u­la­tions that con­trol com­modi­ties, soft­ware and tech­nol­o­gy for var­i­ous rea­sons, such as nation­al secu­ri­ty, for­eign pol­i­cy, anti-ter­ror­ism, and to avoid the pro­lif­er­a­tion of weapons and poten­tial weapons, e.g. cer­tain nuclear, chem­i­cal or bio­log­i­cal agents. Numer­ous coun­tries have export reg­u­la­tions that specif­i­cal­ly address dual-use items, mean­ing com­mer­cial items with the poten­tial to be applied to mil­i­tary and/​or weapon pro­lif­er­a­tion uses. Con­trac­tor shall ensure that all nec­es­sary export licens­es are obtained, or license excep­tions con­firmed, pri­or to the export of any com­mod­i­ty, soft­ware, or technology.

b. Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca (USA) Export Licens­ing Require­ments: Con­trac­tor is sole­ly respon­si­ble for obtain­ing any required USA export licens­es for all com­modi­ties, soft­ware, and tech­nol­o­gy being sup­plied in the per­for­mance of the Work, except for any com­mod­i­ty, soft­ware or tech­nol­o­gy sup­plied by Own­er.

The Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive shall decide any and all ques­tions which may arise as to the qual­i­ty and accept­abil­i­ty of mate­ri­als fur­nished, work per­formed, and as to the man­ner of per­for­mance and rate of progress of the Work. The Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive also shall decide all ques­tions that may arise as to the inter­pre­ta­tion of the spec­i­fi­ca­tions or plans relat­ing to the Work. The Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive shall deter­mine the amount and qual­i­ty of the sev­er­al kinds of Work per­formed and mate­ri­als fur­nished which are to be paid for under the contract.

GC-44 Con­for­mi­ty with Plans and Specifications

If the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive finds the mate­ri­als fur­nished, Work per­formed, match or the fin­ished prod­uct not with­in con­for­mi­ty with the Con­tract Doc­u­ments but that the por­tion of the Work affect­ed will, in its opin­ion, result in a fin­ished project hav­ing a lev­el of safe­ty, econ­o­my, dura­bil­i­ty, and work­man­ship accept­able to the Own­er, it will advise the Own­er of its rec­om­men­da­tion that the affect­ed Work be accept­ed and remain in place. In this event, the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive will doc­u­ment its deter­mi­na­tion and rec­om­mend to the Own­er a basis of accep­tance that will pro­vide for an adjust­ment in the con­tract price for the affect­ed por­tion of the Work. The Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive deter­mi­na­tion and rec­om­mend­ed con­tract price adjust­ments will be based on the Owner’s Representative’s rea­son­able judg­ment and such test or retests of the affect­ed Work as are, in its opin­ion, need­ed. Own­er may accept or reject the Owner’s Representative’s rec­om­men­da­tion (includ­ing any price adjust­ment rec­om­men­da­tion) in its sole dis­cre­tion. Changes in the con­tract price shall be cov­ered by Change Order or sup­ple­men­tal agree­ment, as applicable.

If the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive finds the mate­ri­als fur­nished, Work per­formed, or the fin­ished prod­uct are not in con­for­mi­ty with the Con­tract Doc­u­ments and which Own­er has not decid­ed to accept with a price adjust­ment as pro­vid­ed above, the affect­ed Work or mate­ri­als shall be removed and replace or oth­er­wise cor­rect­ed by and at the expense of Con­trac­tor in accor­dance with the Owner’s Representative’s writ­ten orders.

For the pur­pose of this sub­sec­tion, noth­ing here­in shall be con­strued as waiv­ing Contractor’s respon­si­bil­i­ty to com­plete the Work in accor­dance with the Invi­ta­tion to Bid or Bid Specifications.

Nei­ther Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive nor Own­er will be respon­si­ble for the Contractor’s means, meth­ods, tech­niques, sequences, or pro­ce­dures of con­struc­tion or the safe­ty pre­cau­tions inci­dent thereto.

GC-45 Author­i­ty and Duties of Inspectors

Inspec­tors employed by the Own­er or Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive shall be autho­rized to inspect all Work done and all mate­ri­als fur­nished. Such inspec­tion may extend to all or any part of the Work and to the prepa­ra­tion, fab­ri­ca­tion, or man­u­fac­ture of the mate­ri­als used. Inspec­tors are not autho­rized to revoke, alter, or waive any pro­vi­sion of the con­tract. Inspec­tors are not autho­rized to issue instruc­tions con­trary to the plans and spec­i­fi­ca­tions or to act as fore­man for the Contractor.

Inspec­tors employed by the Own­er or Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive are autho­rized to noti­fy the Con­trac­tor or its rep­re­sen­ta­tives of any fail­ure of the Work or mate­ri­als to con­form to the require­ments of the con­tract, plans, or spec­i­fi­ca­tions and to reject such non­con­form­ing mate­ri­als in ques­tion until such issues can be referred to the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive for its ini­tial decision.

GC-46 Source of Sup­ply and Qual­i­ty Requirements

The mate­ri­als used in the Work shall con­form to the require­ments of the Con­tract Doc­u­ments. Unless oth­er­wise spec­i­fied, such mate­ri­als that are man­u­fac­tured or processed shall be new (as com­pared to used or reprocessed).

In order to expe­dite the inspec­tion and test­ing of mate­ri­als, Con­trac­tor shall fur­nish com­plete state­ments to the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive as to the ori­gin, com­po­si­tion, and man­u­fac­ture of all mate­ri­als to be used in the Work. Such state­ments shall be fur­nished prompt­ly after exe­cu­tion of the con­tract but, in all cas­es, pri­or to deliv­ery of such materials.

At the Owner’s Representative’s option, mate­ri­als may be approved at the source of sup­ply before deliv­ery is stat­ed. If it is found after tri­al that sources of sup­ply for pre­vi­ous­ly approved mate­ri­als do not pro­duce spec­i­fied prod­ucts, the Con­trac­tor shall fur­nish mate­ri­als from oth­er sources.

GC-47 Sam­ples, Tests, and Cit­ed Specifications

Except for those tests to be per­formed by Con­trac­tor pur­suant to the Con­tract Doc­u­ments, all mate­ri­als used in the Work may be inspect­ed, test­ed, and approved or denied by the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive at any time before incor­po­ra­tion in the Work, its deci­sion. Any Work in which untest­ed mate­ri­als are used at the Con­trac­tors risk. Any untest­ed mate­ri­als used in the Work and are found to not com­ply with require­ments of the Con­tract Doc­u­ments, such mate­ri­als shall be removed and replaced with mate­ri­als test­ed and approved by the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive at the Contractor’s expense. Mate­ri­als found to be unac­cept­able will not be paid for.

Unless oth­er­wise des­ig­nat­ed in the Con­tract Doc­u­ments, tests in accor­dance with the cit­ed stan­dard meth­ods of ASTM, AASH­TO, Fed­er­al Spec­i­fi­ca­tions, Com­mer­cial Item Descrip­tions, and all oth­er cit­ed meth­ods, which are cur­rent on the date of adver­tise­ment of the bids, will be made by the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive or Own­er at the Owner’s expense. The test­ing orga­ni­za­tions per­form­ing on site field tests shall have copies of all ref­er­enced stan­dards on the con­struc­tion site for use by all tech­ni­cians and oth­er per­son­nel includ­ing the Contractor’s rep­re­sen­ta­tive at its request. Unless oth­er­wise des­ig­nat­ed, sam­ples will be tak­en by a qual­i­fied rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive. All mate­ri­als being used are sub­ject to inspec­tion, test, or rejec­tion at any time pri­or to or after incor­po­ra­tion into the Work. Copies of all tests will be fur­nished to the Contractor’s rep­re­sen­ta­tive at its request.

The Con­trac­tor shall employ a test­ing orga­ni­za­tion to per­form all Con­trac­tor required tests. The Con­trac­tor shall sub­mit to the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive resumes on all test­ing orga­ni­za­tions and indi­vid­ual per­sons who will be per­form­ing the tests. The Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive shall have the right, fol­low­ing review of such cre­den­tials, to reject any orga­ni­za­tion or indi­vid­ual per­sons per­form­ing the tests at its deci­sion and require the Con­trac­tor to find alter­na­tive orga­ni­za­tions or indi­vid­u­als accept­able to the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive. All the test data shall be report­ed to the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive after the results are known. Leg­i­ble, print­ed reports of all test data shall be giv­en to the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive with­in five (5) busi­ness days of such tests. After com­ple­tion of the Work, and pri­or to final pay­ment, Con­trac­tor shall sub­mit a final report to the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive show­ing all test data reports, plus an analy­sis of all results show­ing ranges, aver­ages, and cor­rec­tive action tak­en on all fail­ing tests.

GC-48 Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of Compliance

The Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive may per­mit the use, pri­or to sam­pling and test­ing, of cer­tain mate­ri­als or assem­blies when accom­pa­nied by manufacturer’s cer­tifi­cates of com­pli­ance stat­ing that such mate­ri­als or assem­blies ful­ly com­ply with the require­ments of the con­tract. The cer­tifi­cate shall be signed by the man­u­fac­tur­er. Each lot of such mate­ri­als or assem­blies deliv­ered to the work must be accom­pa­nied by a cer­tifi­cate of com­pli­ance in which the lot is clear­ly identified.

Mate­ri­als or assem­blies used on the basis of cer­tifi­cates of com­pli­ance may be sam­pled and test­ed at any time and if found not to be in con­for­mi­ty with con­tract require­ments will be sub­ject to rejec­tion whether in place or not.

The form and dis­tri­b­u­tion of cer­tifi­cates of com­pli­ance shall be as approved by the Owner’s Representative.

When a mate­r­i­al or assem­bly is spec­i­fied by ​“brand name or equal” and the Con­trac­tor elects to fur­nish the spec­i­fied ​“brand name,” the Con­trac­tor shall be required to fur­nish the manufacturer’s cer­tifi­cate of com­pli­ance for each lot of such mate­r­i­al or assem­bly deliv­er to the Work. Such cer­tifi­cates of com­pli­ance shall clear­ly iden­ti­fy each lot deliv­ered and shall cer­ti­fy as to:

a. Con­for­mance to the spec­i­fied per­for­mance, test­ing, qual­i­ty or dimen­sion­al require­ments; and

b. Suit­abil­i­ty of the mate­r­i­al or assem­bly for the use intend­ed in the Work.

Should the Con­trac­tor pro­pose to fur­nish an ​“or equal” mate­r­i­al or assem­bly, it shall fur­nish the manufacturer’s cer­tifi­cates of com­pli­ance as here­in­be­fore described for the spec­i­fied brand name mate­r­i­al or assem­bly pri­or to and be approved by the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive pri­or to its order and deliv­ery to the Work. Any mate­r­i­al or assem­bly fur­nished ​“or equal” not pri­or approved shall be removed from the Work at the Contractor’s cost and shall not be paid for.

GC-49 Pay­ment for Mate­ri­als On-Hand

Par­tial pay­ments may be made to the extent of the deliv­ered cost of mate­ri­als to be incor­po­rat­ed in the Work, pro­vid­ed that such mate­ri­als meet the require­ments of the Con­tract Doc­u­ments and are deliv­ered to accept­able sites on the air­port prop­er­ty or at oth­er sites in the vicin­i­ty that are accept­able to the Own­er. Such deliv­ered costs of stored or stock­piled mate­ri­als may be includ­ed in the next par­tial pay­ment after the fol­low­ing con­di­tions are met:

a. The mate­r­i­al has been stored or stock­piled in a man­ner accept­able to the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive or Own­er at or on an Own­er approved site,

b. The Con­trac­tor has fur­nished the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive with accept­able evi­dence of the quan­ti­ty and qual­i­ty of such stored or stock­piled materials,

d. The Con­trac­tor has fur­nished the Own­er legal title (free of liens or encum­brances of any kind) to the mate­r­i­al so stored or stockpiled,

e. The Con­trac­tor has fur­nished the Own­er evi­dence that the mate­r­i­al so stored or stock­piled is insured against loss by dam­age to or dis­ap­pear­ance of such mate­ri­als at any time pri­or to use in the Work,

It is under­stood and agreed that the trans­fer of title and the Owner’s pay­ment for such stored or stock­piled mate­ri­als shall in no way relieve the Con­trac­tor of its respon­si­bil­i­ty for fur­nish­ing and plac­ing such mate­ri­als in accor­dance with the require­ments of the Con­tract Documents.

In no case will the amount of par­tial pay­ments for mate­ri­als on hand exceed the allo­cat­ed por­tion of the con­tract price for such mate­ri­als or the con­tract price for the con­tract item in which the mate­r­i­al is intend­ed to be used, less any applic­a­ble retained por­tions.

Own­er will pay such with­held pay­ments if Con­trac­tor pays, sat­is­fies, or dis­charges any claim of Own­er against Con­trac­tor under or by virtue of this Con­tract or cures all defaults in the per­for­mance of this Contract.

Con­trac­tor agrees to pay each of its sub­con­trac­tors under this con­tract for sat­is­fac­to­ry per­for­mance of its sub­con­tract pur­suant to Flori­da Statutes §218.735, Florida’s Prompt Pay­ment Act.

Con­trac­tor acknowl­edges and agrees that the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive has no author­i­ty to autho­rize or approve changes to the Contract.

Own­er, after con­sul­ta­tion with the Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive, shall decide any and all ques­tions which may arise as to the qual­i­ty and accept­abil­i­ty of mate­ri­als fur­nished, work per­formed, and as to the mat­ter of per­for­mance and rate of progress of the Work.

Con­trac­tor agrees not to divulge to third par­ties, with­out the writ­ten con­sent of Own­er, any infor­ma­tion obtained from or through Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive in con­nec­tion with the per­for­mance of this Con­tract unless the infor­ma­tion is (1) known to Con­trac­tor pri­or to obtain­ing the same from Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive, (2) dis­closed to Con­trac­tor in the pub­lic domain, or (3) obtained by Con­trac­tor from a third par­ty who did not receive same, direct­ly or indi­rect­ly from Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive and who has no oblig­a­tion of secre­cy with respect thereto.

SC-14 Dis­pute Resolution

The par­ties here­by agree that they shall first nego­ti­ate dis­pute to resolve the dis­pute in good faith in an attempt to pre­vent the need for medi­a­tion or lit­i­ga­tion. Accord­ing­ly, with­in sev­en (7) cal­en­dar days of receipt of the ini­tial writ­ten dis­pute notice, the par­ties shall com­mence dis­cus­sions between the on-site project man­agers. In the event the par­ties are unable to reach a res­o­lu­tion of the dis­pute with­in sev­en (7) cal­en­dar days after such com­mence­ment of the dis­cus­sions between the on-site man­agers, the par­ties shall com­mence dis­cus­sions between Contractor’s Pres­i­dent and the Owner’s Exec­u­tive Direc­tor. In the event that such par­ties are unable to reach a res­o­lu­tion of the dis­pute with­in four­teen (14) cal­en­dar days after such com­mence­ment of the dis­cus­sions between the Pres­i­dent and Exec­u­tive Direc­tor, the par­ties shall sub­mit the dis­pute to non-bind­ing medi­a­tion before a mutu­al­ly agreed medi­a­tor who shall con­duct such medi­a­tion pro­ceed­ings. All costs of medi­a­tion shall be shared equal­ly by the par­ties, except that each par­ty shall be respon­si­ble for its own attorney’s fees.

If the par­ties are unable to resolve the dis­pute through medi­a­tion and lit­i­ga­tion proves nec­es­sary, either par­ty may ini­ti­ate such lit­i­ga­tion. In the event of any such lit­i­ga­tion, the pre­vail­ing par­ty shall be enti­tled to recov­er its rea­son­able attor­neys’ fees and costs through all tri­al and appel­late lev­els of such lit­i­ga­tion. Any lit­i­ga­tion between Own­er and Con­trac­tor (which term for the pur­pos­es of this sub­para­graph shall include Contractor’s sure­ty), whether aris­ing out of any claim or aris­ing out of the Con­tract or any breach there­of, shall be brought, main­tained and pur­sued only in the appro­pri­ate State of Flori­da Courts for Bay Coun­ty, Flori­da, and Own­er and Con­trac­tor each here­by waive and renounce any and all rights and options which they, or either of them, have or might have to bring or main­tain any such lit­i­ga­tion or action in the Fed­er­al Court sys­tem of the Unit­ed States or in any Unit­ed States Fed­er­al Dis­trict Court. Own­er and Con­trac­tor express­ly waive all rights to tri­al by jury regard­ing any such litigation.

In the event of a dis­pute between the par­ties aris­ing out of or relat­ing to their respon­si­bil­i­ties under this Con­tract, the par­ty claim­ing the dis­pute shall pro­vide the oth­er par­ty prompt­ly writ­ten notice of such dis­pute, as required by the terms of the Con­tract. The par­ties here­by agree that they shall first nego­ti­ate dis­pute to resolve the dis­pute in good faith in an attempt to pre­vent the need for medi­a­tion or lit­i­ga­tion. Accord­ing­ly, with­in sev­en (7) cal­en­dar days of receipt of the ini­tial writ­ten dis­pute notice, the par­ties shall com­mence dis­cus­sions between the on-site project man­agers. In the event the par­ties are unable to reach a res­o­lu­tion of the dis­pute with­in sev­en (7) cal­en­dar days after such com­mence­ment of the dis­cus­sions between the on-site man­agers, the par­ties shall com­mence dis­cus­sions between Contractor’s Pres­i­dent and the Owner’s Exec­u­tive Direc­tor. In the event that such par­ties are unable to reach a res­o­lu­tion of the dis­pute with­in four­teen (14) cal­en­dar days after such com­mence­ment of the dis­cus­sions between the Pres­i­dent and Exec­u­tive Direc­tor, either par­ty may ini­ti­ate such lit­i­ga­tion. In the event of any such lit­i­ga­tion, the pre­vail­ing par­ty shall be enti­tled to recov­er its rea­son­able attor­neys’ fees and costs through all tri­al and appel­late lev­els of such lit­i­ga­tion, includ­ing the fees and costs incurred to lit­i­gate the amount of attorney’s fees and costs due under said action. Any lit­i­ga­tion between Own­er and Con­trac­tor (which term for the pur­pos­es of this sub­para­graph shall include Contractor’s sure­ty), whether aris­ing out of any claim or aris­ing out of the Con­tract or any breach there­of, shall be brought, main­tained and pur­sued only in the appro­pri­ate State of Flori­da Courts for Bay Coun­ty, Flori­da, and Own­er and Con­trac­tor each here­by waive and renounce any and all rights and options which they, or either of them, have or might have to bring or main­tain any such lit­i­ga­tion or action in the Fed­er­al Court sys­tem of the Unit­ed States or in any Unit­ed States Fed­er­al Dis­trict Court. Own­er and Con­trac­tor express­ly waive all rights to tri­al by jury regard­ing any such litigation.

A com­pa­ny that, at the time of bid­ding or sub­mit­ting a pro­pos­al for a new con­tract or renew­al of an exist­ing con­tract, is on the Scru­ti­nized Com­pa­nies with Activ­i­ties in Sudan List or the Scru­ti­nized Com­pa­nies with Activ­i­ties in the Iran Petro­le­um Ener­gy Sec­tor List, cre­at­ed pur­suant to s. 215.473, or is engaged in busi­ness oper­a­tions in Cuba or Syr­ia, is inel­i­gi­ble for, and may not bid on, sub­mit a pro­pos­al for, or enter into or renew a con­tract with an agency or local gov­ern­men­tal enti­ty for goods or ser­vices of $1 mil­lion or more.

SC-15 Liq­ui­dat­ed Damages 

In the event of Contractor’s fail­ure to meet the Project Sched­ule, the Con­trac­tor shall pay liq­ui­dat­ed dam­ages to the Own­er in the amount of $500.00 per day. The par­ties agree to this arrange­ment due to the imprac­ti­ca­bil­i­ty and dif­fi­cul­ty in ascer­tain­ing the true val­ue of the dam­ages the Air­port will incur as a result of such delay and said sum per day is agreed to be a rea­son­able esti­mate of the amount of such dam­ages which the Air­port will sus­tain. The par­ties fur­ther agree that such liq­ui­dat­ed dam­ages shall be deduct­ed from any amounts owing to Con­trac­tor, and if such amounts owing are insuf­fi­cient, the Con­trac­tor shall pay to Air­port the amount of the difference.

Contractor’s per­son­nel, subcontractor’s per­son­nel at any tier, mate­r­i­al supplier’s per­son­nel or any other’s per­son­nel at any time shall not bring onto the Job­site, or any oth­er loca­tion where the pro­vi­sions of this Con­tract apply any firearm of what­so­ev­er nature or any oth­er object which in the judg­ment of the Own­er or its rep­re­sen­ta­tive is deter­mined to be a poten­tial weapon, or alco­holic bev­er­ages of any nature, ille­gal or Own­er pro­hib­it­ed non-pre­scrip­tion drugs of any nature with­out exception.

SC-17 Own­er Direct­ed Pur­chase (ODP)

Con­trac­tor agrees that Own­er at its sole elec­tion may have Con­trac­tor assign some or all of its pur­chase orders and sub­con­tracts direct­ly to Own­er in accor­dance with the pro­vi­sions set forth herein.

Mate­r­i­al sup­pli­ers shall be select­ed by Con­trac­tor using com­pet­i­tive bidding/​proposals. Sup­ply con­tracts shall be award­ed by Con­trac­tor to the sup­pli­er whose bid/​proposal is most advan­ta­geous to Own­er, price and oth­er fac­tors con­sid­ered. Con­trac­tor shall include the price of all mate­ri­als in his bid and shall include all Flori­da State sales and oth­er tax­es nor­mal­ly applic­a­ble to such mate­r­i­al and equip­ment. Own­er may con­sid­er pur­chas­ing any item but does not expect to issue pur­chase orders to less than five thou­sand dol­lars ($5,000.00). Own­er pur­chase of select­ed mate­ri­als and equip­ment will be admin­is­tered on a deduc­tive Change Order basis.

Con­trac­tor shall pro­vide Own­er a list of all intend­ed sup­pli­ers, ven­dors and mate­r­i­al men for con­sid­er­a­tion as ODP. Con­trac­tor shall sub­mit price quotes from the ven­dors, as well as a descrip­tion of the mate­ri­als to be sup­plied, esti­mat­ed quan­ti­ties and prices.

Upon request from Own­er, and in a time­ly man­ner, Con­trac­tor shall pre­pare Pur­chas­ing Req­ui­si­tion Request Form which shall, in form and detail accept­able to Own­er, specif­i­cal­ly iden­ti­fy the mate­ri­als which Own­er may, in its dis­cre­tion, elect to pur­chase direct­ly. The Pur­chas­ing Req­ui­si­tion Request Form shall include:

a. the name, address, tele­phone num­ber and con­tact per­son for the mate­r­i­al supplier,

b. man­u­fac­tur­er or brand, mod­el, or spec­i­fi­ca­tion num­ber of the item,

c. quan­ti­ty need­ed as esti­mat­ed by Contractor,

d. the price quot­ed by the sup­pli­er for the mate­ri­als iden­ti­fied therein,

e. any sales tax asso­ci­at­ed with such quote,

f. deliv­ery dates as estab­lished by Contractor,

g. any reduc­tion in Contractor’s cost for both the Pay­ment Bond and Per­for­mance Bond,

h. ship­ping, han­dling and insur­ance costs,

i. detail con­cern­ing bonds or let­ters of cred­it pro­vid­ed by the sup­pli­er if includ­ed in his/​her proposal,

j. spe­cial terms and con­di­tions which have been nego­ti­at­ed with the sup­pli­er rel­a­tive to pay­ment terms, dis­counts, rebates, war­ran­ty, cred­its or oth­er terms and con­di­tions which revert to Owner.

Con­trac­tor shall include copies of ven­dors’ quo­ta­tions and specif­i­cal­ly ref­er­ence any terms and con­di­tions, which have been nego­ti­at­ed with the ven­dors con­cern­ing let­ters of cred­it, terms, dis­counts, or spe­cial payments.

After receipt of the Pur­chas­ing Req­ui­si­tion Request Form, Own­er shall pre­pare a Pur­chase Order for all items of mate­r­i­al, which Own­er choos­es to pur­chase direct­ly. The pur­chase order shall be sent to the ven­dor with a copy sent to Con­trac­tor. Pur­suant to the Pur­chase Order, the ven­dor will pro­vide the required quan­ti­ties of mate­r­i­al at the price estab­lished in the vendor’s quote to Con­trac­tor, exclud­ing any sales tax asso­ci­at­ed with such price. The Pur­chase Order shall also require the deliv­ery of the ODP on the deliv­ery dates pro­vid­ed by Con­trac­tor in the Pur­chas­ing Req­ui­si­tion Request Form.

In con­junc­tion with the exe­cu­tion of the Pur­chase orders by the sup­pli­ers, Con­trac­tor shall exe­cute and deliv­er to Own­er one or more deduc­tive Change Orders, ref­er­enc­ing the full val­ue of all ODP to be pro­vid­ed by each sup­pli­er from whom Own­er elect­ed to pur­chase mate­r­i­al direct­ly, plus all sales tax­es asso­ci­at­ed with such mate­ri­als in Contractor’s bid to Own­er, plus any sav­ings to Con­trac­tor in the cost of Pay­ment and Per­for­mance Bonds asso­ci­at­ed with such ODP. To com­pen­sate Con­trac­tor for the war­ran­ty enforce­ment oblig­a­tion Contractor’s over­head and prof­it asso­ci­at­ed with ODP shall not be deduct­ed from the Contract.

Con­trac­tor shall be ful­ly respon­si­ble for all mat­ters relat­ing to the pro­cure­ment of mate­ri­als fur­nished by and incor­po­rat­ed into the Project in accor­dance with these Sup­ple­men­tary Con­di­tions includ­ing, but not lim­it­ed to, assur­ing the cor­rect quan­ti­ties, plac­ing the order in a time­ly man­ner, and assur­ing coor­di­na­tion of pur­chas­es, pro­vid­ing and obtain­ing all war­ranties and guar­an­tees required by the Project Doc­u­ments, inspec­tion and accep­tance of the goods at the time of deliv­ery. Con­trac­tor shall coor­di­nate deliv­ery sched­ules, sequence of deliv­ery, load­ing ori­en­ta­tion, and oth­er arrange­ments nor­mal­ly required by Con­trac­tor for the par­tic­u­lar mate­ri­als fur­nished. Con­trac­tor shall pro­vide all ser­vices required for the unload­ing, han­dling and stor­age of mate­ri­als through installation.

Own­er assumes the risk of loss of mate­ri­als through their incor­po­ra­tion into the installation.

As ODP are deliv­ered to the Job­site, Con­trac­tor shall visu­al­ly inspect all ship­ments form the sup­pli­ers, and sign off on the receiv­ing reports for mate­r­i­al deliv­ered. Con­trac­tor shall assure that each deliv­ery of ODP is accom­pa­nied by doc­u­men­ta­tion ade­quate to iden­ti­fy the Pur­chase Order against which the pur­chase is made. This doc­u­men­ta­tion may con­sist of a deliv­ery tick­et and an invoice from the sup­pli­er con­form­ing to the Pur­chase Order togeth­er with such addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion as Own­er may require. Con­trac­tor will then for­ward the receiv­ing report to Own­er to match up with invoice for payment.

Con­trac­tor shall insure that ODP con­form to the Spec­i­fi­ca­tions and deter­mine pri­or to incor­po­ra­tion into the Work if such mate­ri­als are patent­ly defec­tive, and whether such mate­ri­als are iden­ti­cal to the mate­ri­als ordered and match the descrip­tion on the bill of lad­ing. If Con­trac­tor dis­cov­ers defec­tive or non-con­for­mi­ties in ODP upon such visu­al inspec­tion, Con­trac­tor shall not uti­lize such non­con­form­ing or defec­tive mate­ri­als in the Work and instead shall prompt­ly noti­fy Own­er of the defec­tive or non­con­form­ing con­di­tion so that repair or replace­ment of those mate­ri­als can occur with­out any undue delay or inter­rup­tion to the Project. If Con­trac­tor fails to per­form such inspec­tion and oth­er­wise incor­po­rates into the work such defec­tive or non­con­form­ing ODP, the con­di­tion of which it either knew or should have known by per­for­mance of an inspec­tion, Con­trac­tor shall be respon­si­ble for all dam­ages to Own­er result­ing from Contractor’s incor­po­ra­tion of such mate­ri­als into the Project includ­ing liq­ui­dat­ed or delay damages.

Con­trac­tor shall main­tain records of all ODP it incor­po­rates into the Work from the stock of ODP in its pos­ses­sion. Con­trac­tor shall account month­ly to Own­er for any ODP deliv­ered into Contractor’s pos­ses­sion, indi­cat­ing por­tions of all such mate­ri­als which have been incor­po­rat­ed into the Work.

Con­trac­tor shall be respon­si­ble for obtain­ing and man­ag­ing all war­ranties and guar­an­tees for all mate­ri­als and prod­ucts as required by the Project Doc­u­ments. All repair, main­te­nance or dam­age-repair calls shall be for­ward­ed to Con­trac­tor for res­o­lu­tion with the appro­pri­ate sup­pli­er, ven­dor, or sub­con­trac­tor. Addi­tion­al­ly, ODP items shall be war­rant­ed by Con­trac­tor as part of Contractor’s war­ran­ty. Con­trac­tor agrees and under­stands that it shall under­take all war­ran­ty enforce­ment and oth­er relat­ed duties of Own­er for its ODP equip­ment and mate­ri­als. To that end, Con­trac­tor express­ly agrees it shall make no dis­tinc­tion in dis­charg­ing such war­ran­ty duties between ODP equip­ment and mate­ri­als and equip­ment and mate­ri­als oth­er­wise sup­plied by Contractor.

Notwith­stand­ing the trans­fer of ODP by Own­er to Contractor’s pos­ses­sion, Own­er shall retain legal and equi­table title to any and all ODP.

The trans­fer of pos­ses­sion of ODP from Own­er to Con­trac­tor shall con­sti­tute a bail­ment for the mutu­al ben­e­fit of Own­er and Con­trac­tor. Own­er shall be con­sid­ered the bailor and Con­trac­tor the bailee of the ODP. ODP shall be con­sid­ered returned to Own­er for pur­pos­es of their bail­ment at such time as they are incor­po­rat­ed into the Project.

Own­er shall pur­chase and main­tain builder’s risk insur­ance suf­fi­cient to pro­tect against any loss of or dam­age to ODP. Such insur­ance shall cov­er the full val­ue of any ODP not yet incor­po­rat­ed into the Project dur­ing the peri­od between the time the Own­er first takes title to any of such ODP and the time when the last of such is incor­po­rat­ed into the Project. Con­trac­tor shall pur­chase and main­tain builder’s risk, all risk, insur­ance based on the com­plet­ed val­ue of Project, less the Owner’s ODP val­ues. Con­trac­tor must name Own­er as addi­tion­al insured on its policy.

Own­er shall in no way be liable for any inter­rup­tion or delay in the Project, for any defects or oth­er prob­lems with the Project, or for any extra costs result­ing from any delay in the deliv­ery of, or defects in, ODP. Contractor’s sole or exclu­sive rem­e­dy shall be an exten­sion of the Con­tract Time for such rea­son­able time as deter­mined by Own­er or its representative.

Con­trac­tor shall be required to review invoic­es sub­mit­ted by all sup­pli­ers of ODP deliv­ered to the project site and either con­cur or object to Owner’s issuance of pay­ment to the sup­pli­ers, based upon Contractor’s records of mate­ri­als deliv­ered to the site and any defects detect­ed in such materials.

In order to arrange for the prompt pay­ment to the sup­pli­er, prompt sub­mit­tal of a copy of the applic­a­ble Pur­chase Order as receiv­ing report, invoic­es, deliv­ery tick­ets, writ­ten accep­tance of the deliv­ered items, and such oth­er doc­u­men­ta­tion as may be rea­son­ably required by Own­er. Upon receipt of the appro­pri­ate doc­u­men­ta­tion, Own­er shall pre­pare a check drawn to the sup­pli­er based upon the data pro­vid­ed. This check will be released and remit­ted direct­ly to the sup­pli­er. Con­trac­tor agrees to assist Own­er to imme­di­ate­ly obtain par­tial or final release of waivers as appropriate.

At the end of the Project, Con­trac­tor will be pro­vid­ed with a deduc­tive Change Order for the costs incurred by Own­er to pro­vide all ODP, not cov­ered by pre­vi­ous change orders. Sal­vage mate­ri­als shall be stored or removed from the site at Own­er or its representative’s direc­tion or may be turned over to Con­trac­tor by Own­er for sal­vage or dis­pos­al at Owner’s option.

SC-18 Risk of Loss 

Con­trac­tor shall be respon­si­ble for risk of loss or dam­age in progress and all goods fur­nished until Final Accep­tance, includ­ing any loss­es result­ing from inclement weath­er or erosion.

SC-19 Com­po­nent Warranties 

In addi­tion to the Gen­er­al Con­di­tion title ​“WAR­RAN­TY,” Con­trac­tor shall obtain and pro­vide, for the ben­e­fit of own­er and its suc­ces­sors in inter­est, war­ranties or guar­an­tees for the equip­ment, mate­ri­als, and work fur­nished by sup­pli­ers and sub­con­trac­tors of any tier for the peri­od cus­tom­ar­i­ly pro­vid­ed by the sup­pli­er. Con­trac­tor shall use its best efforts to enforce such low­er-tier war­ranties or guar­an­tees on its own behalf or, if request­ed by Own­er or Owner’s Rep­re­sen­ta­tive, on behalf of Own­er. Con­trac­tor shall pro­vide war­ran­ty doc­u­men­ta­tion by Final Accep­tance or as oth­er­wise required by this contract.

SC-20 Pro­ce­dures to Min­i­mize Risk to Stormwa­ter Sys­tem and Environment

Con­trac­tor acknowl­edges GC-14 Envi­ron­men­tal Require­ments and will have no sig­nif­i­cant impact on the stormwa­ter sys­tem or envi­ron­ment while com­plet­ing the Work.

Fur­ther, the con­trac­tor agrees that, if award­ed a con­tract result­ing from this solic­i­ta­tion, it will incor­po­rate this pro­vi­sion for cer­ti­fi­ca­tion with­out mod­i­fi­ca­tion in each con­tract and in all low­er tier sub­con­tracts. The con­trac­tor may rely on the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of a prospec­tive sub­con­trac­tor unless it has knowl­edge that the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion is erroneous.

The con­trac­tor shall pro­vide imme­di­ate writ­ten notice to the spon­sor if the con­trac­tor learns that its cer­ti­fi­ca­tion or that of a sub­con­trac­tor was erro­neous when sub­mit­ted or has become erro­neous by rea­son of changed cir­cum­stances. The sub­con­trac­tor agrees to pro­vide writ­ten notice to the con­trac­tor if at any time it learns that its cer­ti­fi­ca­tion was erro­neous by rea­son of changed circumstances.

This cer­ti­fi­ca­tion is a mate­r­i­al rep­re­sen­ta­tion of fact upon which reliance was placed when mak­ing the award. If it is lat­er deter­mined that the con­trac­tor or sub­con­trac­tor know­ing­ly ren­dered an erro­neous cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, the Fed­er­al Avi­a­tion Admin­is­tra­tion may direct through the Spon­sor can­cel­la­tion of the con­tract or sub­con­tract for default at no cost to the Government.

Noth­ing con­tained in the fore­go­ing shall be con­strued to require estab­lish­ment of a sys­tem of records in order to ren­der, in good faith, the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion required by this pro­vi­sion. The knowl­edge and infor­ma­tion of a con­trac­tor is not required to exceed that which is nor­mal­ly pos­sessed by a pru­dent per­son in the ordi­nary course of busi­ness dealings.

This cer­ti­fi­ca­tion con­cerns a mat­ter with­in the juris­dic­tion of an agency of the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca and the mak­ing of a false, fic­ti­tious, or fraud­u­lent cer­ti­fi­ca­tion may ren­der the mak­er sub­ject to pros­e­cu­tion under Title 18, Unit­ed States Code, Sec­tion 1001.

SC-29 Web-Based Project Infor­ma­tion Management

The Con­trac­tor shall work with the Owner’s web-based project infor­ma­tion man­age­ment sys­tem as direct­ed. The project doc­u­men­ta­tion require­ments are described in Appen­dix A – Sec­tion 01322, Web-Based Project Infor­ma­tion Management.

4. An elec­tric roll up door is to be installed on the right side of the oper­a­tors con­trol con­sole to secure the pas­sen­ger board­ing bridge from unau­tho­rized access and pro­tect the inte­ri­or of the pas­sen­ger board­ing bridge from adverse weath­er con­di­tions when the door is closed. The min­i­mum clear width of the weath­er door is 5’-0’’ and the min­i­mum door height is 7’-6”.
5. A full width spac­er shall be locat­ed at the air­craft end of the cab floor. The spac­er mate­r­i­al shall meet the fire pro­tec­tion spec­i­fi­ca­tions of NFPA-415, shall be flex­i­ble, and non-abra­sive to pre­vent scratch­ing or oth­er dam­age to the air­craft fuselage.
6. The air­craft end of the cab shall be equipped with an artic­u­lat­ing cab floor that auto­mat­i­cal­ly com­pen­sates for changes in bridge slope. The floor shall be actu­at­ed and inde­pen­dent­ly adjustable to adapt to all air­craft door­sills. It shall be designed to lev­el auto­mat­i­cal­ly and shall be equipped with a man­u­al over­ride con­trol switch. The floor shall be capa­ble of pro­vid­ing a lev­el sur­face adja­cent to the air­craft door­sill for pas­sen­ger board­ing bridge slopes from –8.33% to +8.33%.
7. The artic­u­lat­ing floor shall be a dou­ble hinge design that pro­vides a smooth tran­si­tion between the lev­el floor and the tun­nel sec­tion. The tran­si­tion floor shall pro­vide a smooth plat­form sloped in the direc­tion of the pas­sen­ger traf­fic flow. No raised sur­faces which may intro­duce a trip­ping haz­ard to the pas­sen­ger shall be permitted.
8. Exte­ri­or flood­lights shall be pro­vid­ed for night­time oper­a­tion to illu­mi­nate the apron area ahead of the pas­sen­ger board­ing bridge. A flood­light shall also be pro­vid­ed to illu­mi­nate the dri­ve col­umn wheel bogey area. This light shall be locat­ed under the tun­nel section.

E. Region­al Jet Ser­vice Provisions:

1. If region­al jet ser­vice is required by the spec­i­fied air­craft mix, the rotat­ing cab floor shall be designed to accom­mo­date them. These require­ments do not accom­mo­date all region­al jets, how­ev­er they are appro­pri­ate for ser­vic­ing EMB-145 and larg­er and CRJ-200 and larg­er region­al jet aircraft.
2. Mod­i­fi­ca­tions for region­al jet ser­vice shall not impede or inter­fere with dock­ing to the rest of the air­craft in the spec­i­fied mix.
3. Oth­er spec­i­fied fea­tures such as artic­u­lat­ing floor and auto lev­el­ing shall not be com­pro­mised by the region­al jet cab floor modifications.
4. The canopy and bumpers shall be designed to avoid con­tact with the var­i­ous TAT sen­sors, pitot tubes, and anten­nas locat­ed in the vicin­i­ty of the pas­sen­ger door.
5. For EMB air­craft with plug doors:

• A means shall be pro­vid­ed to close the gap at the air­craft door sill, while pre­vent­ing excess canopy pres­sure due to the inward pro­jec­tion of the fuselage. 

• This shall be accom­plished via a mov­able floor sec­tion or anoth­er method that does not inter­fere with prop­er dock­ing to all oth­er air­craft in the spec­i­fied mix.

• The move­able floor sec­tion allows the bridge to be stopped just as the canopy is con­tact­ed so that the canopy can then be deployed with nor­mal con­tact pres­sure. Then the cab floor can be extend­ed via the operator’s con­trol con­sole to close the gap to the fuselage.

6. For CRJ air­craft with pull down stairs:

• The por­tion of the floor near­est the top step of the air­craft shall be hinged so that it is capa­ble of tilt­ing to elim­i­nate exces­sive pres­sure on the air­craft door in the event of a miss-park. Sen­sors shall be pro­vid­ed to auto­mat­i­cal­ly stop the bridge from low­er­ing on to the air­craft door should this event occur.

• The floor or a sec­tion of the floor shall be mov­able so as to allow the final dock­ing to be done in a con­trolled man­ner. The mech­a­nized floor shall be oper­at­ed from the con­trol con­sole to extend the cab floor bumper towards the air­craft. Sen­sors shall be pro­vid­ed as required to pre­vent exces­sive pres­sure against the top step. 

• The CRJ door cable pro­trudes slight­ly from the top step and shall be pro­tect­ed from inad­ver­tent con­tact dur­ing the dock­ing pro­ce­dure via a move­able floor slot or oth­er means. 

• Handrails shall be pro­vid­ed that can be man­u­al­ly deployed to safe­ly guide pas­sen­gers on to the nar­row top step. They shall be capa­ble of being stowed in an out of the way loca­tion for ser­vice to all oth­er aircraft.

F. Air­craft Clo­sure: The air­craft end of the cab shall be equipped with a fold­ing bel­lows air­craft clo­sure. The clo­sure, when fit­ted against the fuse­lage, shall sur­round both the open air­craft door and the door­way to pro­tect pas­sen­gers from the ele­ments. Cov­er­ing shall not absorb water, shall be high­ly tear resis­tant and shall remain flex­i­ble form ‑31 degrees F (-35 degrees C) to 127 degrees F (52.8 degrees C). The air­craft enclo­sure col­or shall be gray.

1. Each side of the air­craft clo­sure shall inde­pen­dent­ly seal against air­craft contours.
2. A means of pre­vent­ing exces­sive pres­sure on the air­craft shall be incor­po­rat­ed into the canopy oper­at­ing mechanism.
3. The con­tact­ing seal shall be a soft mate­r­i­al to pre­vent scratch­ing or dam­age to the air­craft skin. The seals that con­tact the air­craft shall be designed for easy replacement.

G. Ser­vice Access: A ser­vice door, land­ing and stair lead­ing to the apron; roof guardrails; and roof lad­der shall con­sti­tute the ser­vice access. Ser­vice access shall be locat­ed on the right hand side of the cab end of the pas­sen­ger board­ing bridge; it pro­vides access between the pas­sen­ger board­ing bridge, pas­sen­ger board­ing bridge roof, and apron for autho­rized personnel.

1. Ser­vice door shall be steel, hol­low core with wire glass win­dow, and meets or exceeds the 3/​4‑hour fire rat­ing per ASTM E 152.
