The CONTRACTOR shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, machinery, tools, apparatus,
and transportation and perform all of the work described in the specifications entitled:

RFB 23-001 Clermont Arts & Recreation Center Roof Replacement
C. The CONTRACTOR further declares he has examined the project site and that from
personal knowledge and experience has made sufficient investigations to fully satisfy
himself that such site is correct and suitable for the work and he assumes full
responsibility therefore. The provisions of this Contract shall control any inconsistent
provisions contained in the specifications. All Drawings and Specifications have been
read and carefully considered by the CONTRACTOR, who understands the same and
agrees to their sufficiency for the work to be done. It is expressly agreed that under no
circumstances, conditions or situations shall this Contract be more strongly construed
against the CITY than against the CONTRACTOR and his Surety.
D. Any ambiguity or uncertainty in the Plans, Drawings or Specifications shall be
interpreted and construed by the CITY's designated Project Manager after consultation
with the Project Architect, and the CITY's Project Manager's decision shall be final and
binding upon all parties, provided the CITY agrees.
E. It is distinctly understood and agreed that the passing, approval and/or acceptance of any
part of the work or material by the CITY or by any agent or representative as in
compliance with the terms of this Contract and/or of the Drawings, Plans and
Specifications covering said work shall not operate as a waiver by the CITY of strict
compliance with the terms of this Contract and/or the Drawings and Specifications
covering said work; and the CITY may require the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety to
repair, replace, restore and/or make to comply strictly and in all things with this Contract
and the Drawings and Specifications any and all of said work and/or materials which
within a period of one year from and after the date of the passing, approval, and or
acceptance of any such work or material, are found to be defective or to fail and in any
way to comply with this Contract or with the Drawings and Specifications. This provision
shall not apply to materials or equipment normally expected to deteriorate or wear out
and become subject to normal repair and replacement before their condition is
discovered. The CONTRACTOR shall not be required to do normal maintenance work
under the guarantee provisions. Failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR and/or his
Surety, immediately after Notice to either repair or replace any such defective materials
and workmanship shall entitle the CITY, if it sees fit, to replace or repair the same and
recover the reasonable cost of such replacement and/or repair from the CONTRACTOR
and/or his Surety, who shall, in any event, be jointly and severally liable to the CITY for
all damages, loss, and expense caused to the CITY by reason of the CONTRACTOR'S
breach of this Contract and/or his failure to comply strictly and in all things with this
Contract and/or his failure to comply strictly and in all things with this Contract and with
the Drawings and Specifications.
F. As -built drawings and warranties acceptable to the CITY must be submitted to the CITY
before final payment will be made to the CONTRACTOR.

4. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES
A. Before starting work, CONTRACTOR shall designate a competent, authorized
representative acceptable to CITY to represent and act for CONTRACTOR and shall
inform CITY in writing, of the name and address of such representative together with a
clear definition of the scope of his authority to represent and act for CONTRACTOR and
shall specify any and all limitations of such authority. At the Pre -construction
Conference, the CONTRACTOR shall provide resumes of key personnel for the CITY's
approval. CONTRACTOR shall keep CITY informed in writing pursuant to the notice
requirements provided herein of any subsequent changes in the foregoing. Such
representative shall be present or duly represented at the site of work at all times when
work is actually in progress.
B. From the time of execution of the Contract, the CITY shall have the right to remove the
CONTRACTOR's representative from the project for inappropriate behavior including,
but not limited to, lack of concern for residents, or acting in an unprofessional manner
(i.e. argumentative with residents or CITY's representative and the use of foul language).
C. All notices, determinations, instructions, and other communications given to the
authorized representatives of the CONTRACTOR shall be binding upon the
CONTRACTOR. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as modifying the
CONTRACTOR's duty of supervision and fiscal management as provided for by Florida
law.
D. The CITY shall designate a Project Manager who will have limited authority to act for
the CITY. The CITY will notify the CONTRACTOR in writing of the name of such
representative(s). Any other City employees are not authorized CITY representatives and
any work performed by the CONTRACTOR without proper written authorization from
the Project Manager as approved by CITY, is performed at the CONTRACTOR's risk,
and the City shall have no obligation to compensate the CONTRACTOR for such work.
5. LAWS AND REGULATIONS
A. CONTRACTOR and its employees and representatives shall at all times comply with all
applicable laws, codes, ordinances, statutes, rules, or regulations in effect at the time
work is performed under this Contract.
B. If during the term of this Contract, there are any changed or new laws, ordinances, or
regulations not known or foreseeable at the time of signing this Contract that become

documentation of such effect in terms of both time and cost of performing the Contract.

Construction Agreement
RFB 23-001 Clermont Arts & Recreation Center Roof Replacement
Upon concurrence by OWNER as to the effect of such changes, an adjustment in the
compensation and/or time of performance will be made, if applicable.
C. If any discrepancy or inconsistency should be discovered between the Contract and any
law, ordinance, regulation, order, or decree, CONTRACTOR shall immediately report
the same in writing to the OWNER who will issue such instructions as may be necessary.
However, it shall not be grounds for a Change Order that the CONTRACTOR was
unaware of or failed to investigate the rules, codes, regulations, statutes, and all
ordinances of all applicable governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Project or
the work.
6. CODE RELATED INSPECTIONS
The CONTRACTOR recognizes that the CITY is the governing jurisdiction charged with the
inspection of improvements to real property for code compliance and the improvements to be made
by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this contract may be subject to inspection by the CITY or its
agents. The CONTRACTOR agrees that it will not assert, as a CITY -caused delay or as a defense
of any delay on the part of the CONTRACTOR, any good faith action or series of actions on the
part of the CITY or its agents with regard to inspections, including, but not limited to the refusal
to accept any portion of the CONTRACTOR's work.
7. VALUE ENGINEERING
CONTRACTOR may request substitutions of materials, articles, pieces of equipment or any
changes that reduce the contract price by making such request to the Project Manager and Project
Architect/Engineer in writing. The Project Manager and Project Architect/Engineer will be the
sole judge of acceptability, and no substitute will be ordered, installed, used or initiated without
Project Manager and Project Architect/Engineer prior written acceptance which will be evidence
by a City issued Change Order. However, any substitution accepted by Project Manager and
Project Architect/Engineer shall not result in any increase in the contract price or contract time.
By making a request for substitution, the CONTRACTOR agrees to pay directly to the Project
Architect/Engineer fees and charges related to the Project Architect/Engineer review of the request
for substitution, whether or not the request for substitution is accepted by the Project
Architect/Engineer. The successful respondent also agrees to pay for any additional required
design and/or permitting fees necessitated by the proposed changes. Any substitution submitted
by the CONTRACTOR must meet the form, fit, function, and life cycle criteria of the item
proposed to be replaced and there must be a net dollar saving including Project Architect/Engineer
review fees and charges. If a substitution is approved, the net dollar saving shall be shared equally
between the successful respondent and CITY and shall be processed as a deductive Change Order.
The City may require the CONTRACTOR to furnish, at their expense, a special performance
guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute approved after award of the contract.

S. PARTIAL AND FINAL PAYMENTS
In accordance with the provisions fully set forth in the Bid Documents and General Conditions,
and subject to additions and deductions as provided, the OWNER shall pay the CONTRACTOR
as follows:
A. CONTRACTOR shall submit a progress payment request by the twentieth (20th) day of
each calendar month for work performed during the current calendar month, projected
through the 25th. At any time, the CITY shall have the right as a condition of making a
partial payment hereunder, to require the CONTRACTOR to submit evidence
satisfactory to the CITY that all payrolls, material bills, and other costs incurred by the
CONTRACTOR in connection with the subject progress payment request have been paid
in full. Upon CITY's signature accepting the PARTIAL PAYMENT
AUTHORIZATION, the CITY shall make a partial payment to the CONTRACTOR,
within thirty (30) calendar days, on the basis of a duly certified and approved estimate by
the CITY and the Architect, for work performed during the preceding calendar month
under the Contract. To insure proper performance of the Contract, the CITY shall retain
five percent (5%) of the amount of each estimate until final completion and acceptance of
all work covered by the Contract.
B. Upon submission by the CONTRACTOR of evidence satisfactory to the CITY that all
payrolls, material bills and other costs incurred by the CONTRACTOR in connection
with the construction of the work have been paid in full, and also, after all guarantees that
may be required in the Specifications have been furnished and are found acceptable by
the CITY, final payment on account of this Agreement shall be made within thirty (30)
calendar days after completion of all work by the CONTRACTOR covered by this
Agreement and acceptance of such work by the CITY.
9. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
It is mutually agreed that time is of the essence in regard to this Agreement. Therefore,
notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Contract Documents, should the
CONTRACTOR fail to complete the work within the specified time as set by the Notice to
Proceed, or any authorized extension thereof, CONTRACTOR shall pay to CITY the sum of FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500) per calendar day as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages for each
calendar day elapsing beyond the specified time date for beneficial occupancy (substantial
completion) and/or final completion; which sum shall represent the damages sustained by the
CITY, and shall be considered not as a penalty, but in liquidation of damages sustained. The
CONTRACTOR shall pay the liquidated damages amount contained herein. NOTE: Not
necessary, this would come out of contract balance. CONTRACTOR'S pay applications would be
reduced to cover anticipated liquidated damages.

with such Sureties as shall be satisfactory to the CITY. In such event, no further payment to the
