Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as Contractor as required by the Contract Documents. Project Management review of the Contractor's submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligations under Paragraphs 3.3, 3.5 and 3.12. Project Management's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by Project Management, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. Project Management's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component. 4.6.13 Project Management will prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives. 4.6.14 Following consultation with the Owner, Project Management will take appropriate action on Change Orders or Construction Change Directives in accordance with Article 7 and will have authority to order minor changes in the Work as provided in Paragraph 7.4. 4.6.16 The Contractor will assist Project Management in conducting inspections to determine the dates of Substantial completion and final completion, and will receive and forward to Project Management written warranties and related documents required by the Contract and assembled by the Contractor.

GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 29 of 48 HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL 5.2 Award of Subcontracts and Other Contracts for Portions of the Work 5.2.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents or the bidding requirements, the Contractor, as soon as practicable after award of the Contract, shall furnish in writing to Project Management for review by the Owner and Project Management the names of persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each principal portion of the Work. Project Management will promptly reply to the Contractor in writing stating whether or not the Owner or Project Management, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity. Failure of Project Management to reply promptly shall constitute notice of no reasonable objection. 5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to which the Owner or Project Management has made reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Owner or Project Management has made reasonable objection. 5.2.3 If the Owner or Project Management refuses to accept any person or entity on a list submitted by the Contractor in response to the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall submit an acceptable substitute; however, no increase in the Contract Sum shall be allowed for any such substitution. 5.2.4 The Contractor shall not change a Subcontractor, person or entity previously selected if the Owner or Project Management makes reasonable objection to such change. 5.3 Subcontractual Relations 5.3.1 By appropriate written agreement, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities which the Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward the Owner or Project Management. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner or Project Management under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights. When appropriate, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, copies of the Contract Documents which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement which may be at variance with the Contract Documents.

If the work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Subcontractor's compensation shall be equitably adjusted. GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 30 of 48 HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL 6.0 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY OTHER CONTRACTORS 6.1 Owner's Right to Perform Construction with Own Forces and to Award Other Contracts 6.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations released to the Project with the Owner's own forces, which include persons or entities under separate contracts not administered by Project Management. The Owner further reserves the right to award other contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction or operations on the site under Conditions of the Contract identical or substantially similar to these including those portions related to insurance and waiver or subrogation. 6.1.2 When the Owner performs construction or operations with the Owner's own forces including persons or entities under separate contracts not administered by Project Management, the Owner shall provide for coordination of such forces with the Work of the Contractor who shall cooperate with them. 6.1.3 It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to coordinate his work with the work of other contractors on the site. The Owner and Project Management shall be held harmless for any and all costs associated with improper coordination. 6.2 Mutual Responsibility 6.2.1 The Contractor shall afford the Owner's own forces, Project Management and other contractors reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities, and shall connect and coordinate the Contractor's construction and operations with theirs as required by the Contract Documents. 6.2.2 If part of the Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon construction or operations by the Owner's own forces or other contractors, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to Project Management any apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor so to report shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner's own forces or other contractors' completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Contractor's Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable. 6.2.3 Costs caused by delays or by improperly timed activities or defective construction shall be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor's sole remedy as against the Owner for costs caused by delays or improperly timed activities or defective construction shall be an extension of time. 6.2.4 The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Contractor to completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Owner or other contractors as provided in Subparagraph 10.2.5. 6.2.5 Claims and other disputes and matters in question between the Contractor and other contractors shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4.7 provided the other contractors have reciprocal obligations. 6.2.6 The Owner and other contractors shall have the same responsibilities for cutting and patching as are described for the Contractor in Paragraph 3.14.

A subsequent written application for the specific number of days of extension of time requested shall be made by the Contractor to Project Management within (72) hours after the delay has ceased to exist. .1 It is a condition precedent to the consideration or prosecution of any claim for an extension of time that the foregoing provisions be strictly adhered to in each instance and, if the Contractor fails to comply, he shall be deemed to have waived the claim. .2 The Contractor agrees that whether or not any delay, regardless of cause, shall be the basis for an extension of time he shall have no claim against the Owner or Project Management for an increase in the Contract price, nor a claim against the Owner or Project Management for a payment or allowance of any kind for damage, loss or expense resulting from delays; nor shall the Contractor have any claim for damage, loss or expense resulting from interruptions to, or suspension of, his work to enable other contractors to perform their work. The only remedy available to the Contractor shall be an extension of time. 6.3 Owner's Right to Clean Up 6.3.1 If a dispute arises among the Contractor, other contractors and the Owner as to the responsibility under their respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surrounding area free from waste materials and rubbish as described in Paragraph 3.15, the Owner may clean up and allocate the cost among those responsible as Project Management determines to he just 7.0 CHANGES IN THE WORK 7.1 Changes 7.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Contract, and without invalidating the Contract, by Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a minor change in the Work, subject to the limitations stated in this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Contract Documents. 7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement among the Owner, Project Management and Contractor; a Construction Change Directive require agreement by the Owner, Project Management and may or may not be agreed to by the Contractor; an order for a minor change in the Work may be issued by Project Management alone. 7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contractor shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a minor change in the Work. 7.1.4 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive that application of such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted. GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 32 of 48 HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL 7.2 Change Orders 7.2.1 A change Order is a written instrument prepared by Project Management and signed by the Owner, Project Management and Contractor stating their agreement upon all of the following: .1 a change in the Work; .2 the amount of the adjustment in the Contract Sum, if any; and .3 the extent of the adjustment in the Contract Time, if any. 7.2.2 The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined in one or more of the following methods: .1 mutual acceptance of lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation and payment, and approved by the appropriate authority in writing; .2 unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and approved by the appropriate authority in writing; .3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee; .4 or by method provided in subparagraph 7.2.3. 7.2.3 If none of the methods set forth in Clauses 7.2.1 or 7.2.2 is agreed upon, the Contractor, provided a written order signed by the Owner or Project Management is received, shall promptly proceed with the Work involved. The cost of such Work shall then be determined by daily force accounts in a form acceptable to the Owner and Project Management. The daily force account forms shall identify Contractor and /or Subcontractor personnel by name, total hours for each man, each piece of equipment and total hours for equipment and all material(s) by type for each extra Work activity claim. Each daily force account form shall be signed by the designated Project Management representative no later than the close of business on the day the Work is performed to verify the items and hours listed. Extended pricing of these forms shall be submitted to Project Management with all supporting documentation required by Project Management for inclusion into a change order. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, cost shall be limited to the following: cost of materials, including sales tax and cost of delivery; cost of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, and fringe benefits required by agreement or custom; works' or workmen's compensation insurance; and the rental value of equipment and machinery. Markups for overhead and profit will be in accordance with subparagraph 7.2.4. Pending final determination of cost, payments on account shall be made as determined by Project Management. The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor for any deletion or change, which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum, will be the amount of the actual net cost to the Owner as confirmed by Project Management. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in any one change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any with respect to that change. 7.2.4 The actual cost of Changes in the Work may include all items of labor or material, power tools, and equipment actually used, utilities, pro rata charges for foreman, and all payroll charges such as Public Liability and Workmen's Compensation Insurance. No percentage for overhead and profit shall be allowed on items of Social Security and Sales Tax. If deductions are ordered the amount of credit shall be net cost to Owner as defined in section 5.6.1 of the GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 33 of 48 HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL Contract. Items considered as overhead shall include insurance other than that mentioned above, bond or bonds, superintendent, timekeeper, clerks, watchmen, use of small tools, miscellaneous supplies, incidental job costs, warranties, and all general home/field office expenses. The actual cost of Changes in the Work (other than those covered by unit prices set forth in the Contract Documents) shall be computed as follows: .1 if the Contractor performs the actual Work, the maximum percentage mark-up for overhead shall be five percent (5%) and the maximum percentage for profit shall be five percent (5%); .2 if the Subcontractor performs the actual Work, the subcontractor's percentage mark- up for overhead and profit shall be a maximum addition of ten percent (10%). If the Contractor does not perform the Work, the maximum mark-up for managing the Work will be five percent (5%); 3. If the Subcontractor performs part of the actual Work, his percentage mark-up for overhead and profit shall be a maximum addition of ten percent (10%) on his direct Work only. If the Contractor performs part of the actual Work, his percentage mark-up for overhead and profit shall be a maximum addition of ten percent(10%) on his direct Work only. 7.2.5 The Contractor shall furnish to the Owner through Project Management, an itemized breakdown of the quantities and prices used in computing the value of any change that might be ordered. Any additional supporting documentation requested by Project Management such as certified quotations or invoices shall be provided by the Contractor to Project Management at no additional cost to the Owner. 7.2.6__If the Contractor claims that any instructions given to him by Project Management, by drawings or otherwise, involve extra Work not covered by the Contract, he shall give Project Management written notice thereof within five (5) days after the receipt of such instructions and before proceeding to execute the work, except in emergencies endangering life or property, in which case the Contractor shall proceed in accordance with Paragraph 10.3. .1 The written notice to Project Management for the Extra Work shall include a complete description of the extra Work, the total cost and a detailed cost breakdown by labor, material and equipment for each additional activity required to be performed. Mark-ups shall be limited as specified elsewhere in this Article. .2 Except as otherwise specifically provided, no claim for additional cost shall be allowed unless the complete notice specified by this subparagraph is given by the Contractor. 7.2.7 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Contractor shall carry on the Work and maintain its progress during any dispute or claim proceeding, and Owner shall continue to make payments to the Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents. Disputes unresolved shall be settled in accordance with subparagraph 4.7. The Contractor shall maintain completed daily force account forms in accordance with subparagraph 7.2.3 for any dispute or claim item. 7.3 Authority 7.3.1 Project Management will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving adjustment in the Contract sum or extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order issued through Project Management and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written order promptly. GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 34 of 48 HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL 8.0 TIME 8.1 Definitions 8.1.1 Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in the Contract Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work. 8.1.2 The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in the Agreement. The date shall not be postponed by the failure to act of the Contractor or of persons or entities for which the Contractor is responsible. 8.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by Project Management in accordance with Paragraph 9.8. 8.1.4 The term "day" as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically defined. 8.1.5 The Owner/Project Management shall be the final judge as to whether Substantial Completion has been achieved and certifies the date to the Contractor. 8.2 Progress and Completion 8.2.1 Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. By executing the Agreement the Contractor confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work. 8.2.2 The Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner in writing, prematurely commence operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by Article 11 to be furnished by the Contractor. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance. 8.2.3 The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time. 8.3 Delays and Extensions of Time 8.3.1 If the Contractor is delayed, at any time, in the progress of the Work by any act or neglect of the Owner, Project Management, or the Architect/Engineer, or by any employee of either, or by any separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by fire, unusual delay in transportation, adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipatable, unavoidable casualties or any causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by delay authorized by the Owner, Project Management, or by any other cause which Project Management determines may justify the delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by no cost Change Order for such reasonable time as Project Management may determine, in accordance with subparagraph 6.2.7. 8.3.2 Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to Project Management not more than Seventy-two (72) hours after the commencement of the delay in accordance with paragraph 6.2.7; otherwise it shall be waived. Any claim for extension of time shall state the cause of the delay and the number of days of extension requested. If the cause of the delay is continuing, only one claim is necessary, but the Contractor shall report the termination of the cause for the delay within seventy-two (72) hours after such termination in accordance with paragraph 6.2.7; otherwise, any claim for extension of time based upon that cause shall be waived. GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 35 of 48 • HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL 8.3.3 No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum for either acceleration or delay will be allowed for extensions of time pursuant to this Paragraph 8.3 or for other changes in the Construction Schedules. 8.3.4 If the Project is delayed as a result of the Contractor's refusal or failure to begin the Work on the date of commencement as defined in Paragraph 8.1.2, or his refusal or failure to carry the Work forward expeditiously with adequate forces, the Contractor causing the delay shall be liable for, but not limited to, delay claims from other Contractors which are affected. 9.0 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION 9.1 Contract Sum 9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, including authorized adjustments, is the total amount payable by the Owner to the Contractor for performance of the Work under the Contract Documents. 9.2 Schedule of Values 9.2.1 Before submittal of the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to Project Management, a schedule of values allocated to various portions of the Work, prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as Project Management may require. This schedule, unless objected to by Project Management, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications for Payment. 9.3 Applications for Payment 9.3.1 At least fifteen days before the date established for each progress payment, the Contractor shall submit to Project Management an itemized Application for Payment for Work completed in accordance with the schedule of values. Such application shall be notarized and supported by such data substantiating the Contractor's right to payment as the Owner or Project Management may require, such as copies of requisitions from Subcontractors and material suppliers, and reflecting retainage if provided for elsewhere in the Contract Documents. .1 Such applications may include request for payment on account of changes in the Work which have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives but not yet included in Change Orders. .2 Such applications may not include requests for payment of amounts the Contractor does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier because of a dispute or other reason. 9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, and shall include applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment stored off the site. 9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that upon GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 36 of 48 • HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for which approval for payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the Contractor's knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work. All Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors shall execute an agreement stating that title will so pass, upon their receipt of payment from the Contractor. The warranties are for the administrative convenience of the Owner only and do not create an obligation on the part of the Owner to pay directly any unpaid subcontractor, laborer or materialmen. Such persons must seek payment from the Contractor or his public construction bond surety only. 9.4 Approval for Payment 9.4.1 Project Management will assemble a Project Application for Payment by combining the Contractor's applications with similar applications for progress payments from other Contractors and certify the amounts due on such applications. 9.4.2 After the Project Management's receipt of the Project Application for Payment, Project Management will either approve the Application for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as Project Management determine is properly due, or notify the Contractor in writing of Project Management's reasons for withholding approval in whole or in part as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1. 9.4.3 The issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will constitute representations made by Project Management to the Owner, based on their individual observations at the site and the data comprising the Application for Payment submitted by the Contractor, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of Project Management's knowledge, information and belief, quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to minor deviations from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion and to specific qualifications expressed by Project Management. The issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount approved. However, the issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will not be a representation that Project Management has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed the Contractor's construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum. 9.5 Decisions to Withhold Approval 9.5.1 Project Management may decline to approve an Application for Payment if, in his opinion, the application is not adequately supported. If the Contractor and Project Management cannot agree on a revised amount, Project Management shall process the Application for the amount it deems appropriate. Project Management may also decline to approve any Application for Payment because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent inspections. It may nullify, in whole or part, any approval previously made to such extent as may be necessary in its opinion because of: (1) defective Work not remedied; (2) third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims; (3) failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials, or equipment; GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 37 of 48 HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL (4) reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum; (5) damage to Project Management, the Owner, or another contractor working at the project; (6) reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the contract time; (7) persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. No payment shall be made to the Contractor until certificates of insurance or other evidence of compliance by the Contractor, with all the requirements of Article 11, have been filed with the Owner and Project Management. 9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding approval are removed, approval will be made for amounts previously withheld.9.6 Progress Payments 9.6.1 After Project Management has issued an Approval for Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract Documents, and shall so notify Project Management. From the total of the amount determined to be payable on a progress payment, a retainage in accordance with the Florida Local Government Prompt Payment Act, Chapter 218, Florida Statutes will be deducted and retained by the Owner until the final payment is made. The balance of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be approved for payment. .1 It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or receive progress payment based on quantities of Work in excess of those provided in the proposal or covered by approved change orders, except when such excess quantities have been determined by Project Management to be a part of the final quantity for the item of Work in question. .2 No progress payment shall bind the Owner to the acceptance of any materials or Work in place, as to quality or quantity. All progress payments are subject to correction at the time of final payments. 9.6.2 The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractors portion of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub-subcontractors in similar manner. 9.6.3 Project Management will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action taken thereon by the Owner and Project Management on account of portions of the Work done by such Subcontractor. 9.6.4 Neither the Owner nor Project Management shall have an obligation to pay, or to see to, the payment of money to a Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law. 9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in Subparagraphs 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4. 9.6.6 A progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents. 9.6.7 All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the sole property of the Owner, and by this provision shall not be construed as relieving the GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 38 of 48 HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL Contractor from the sole responsibility for the materials and Work upon which payments have been made or the restoration for any damaged material, or as a waiver of the right of the Owner or Project Management to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the Contract. 9.6.8 Except in case of bona fide disputes, or where the Contractor has some other justifiable reason for delay, the Contractor shall pay for all transportation and utility services not later than the end of the calendar month following that in which services are rendered and for all materials, tools, and other expendable equipment which are delivered at the site of the Project.

The Contractor shall, by an appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, also require each Subcontractor to make payments to his suppliers and Sub-subcontractors in a similar manner. 9.8 Substantial Completion 9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use. 9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor and Project Management shall jointly prepare a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to complete and correct items on the list. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Upon receipt of the list, Project Management will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the list, which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by Project Management. The Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by Project Management, to determine Substantial Completion. When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, Project Management will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.

Such partial GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750-Page 39 of 48 HIGGS BEACH FITNESS TRAIL occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor and Project Management shall jointly prepare a list as provided under Subparagraph 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner and Contractor or, if no agreement is reached, by decision of Project Management. 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Project Management and Contractor shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work. 9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 9.10 Final Completion and Final Payment 9.10.1 Upon completion of the Work, the Contractor shall forward to Project Management a written Notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also forward to Project Management a final Contractor's Application for Payment.
