Sustainability / Projects Director 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.

determines to be 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, Sustainability /
Projects Director, AMEC /Engineer and Contractor; a Construction Change Directive requires
agreement by the Owner and Sustainability / Projects Director and may or may not be agreed to
by the Contractor; an order for a minor change in the Work may be issued by AMEC /Contractor
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.
7.2 Change Orders
7.2.1 A change Order is a written instrument prepared by AMEC /Engineer and signed by the
Owner, Sustainability / Projects Director 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;
GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750 -Page 36 of 157
CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
.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 Sustainability / Projects Director 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 Sustainability / Projects Director.
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 Sustainability / Projects Director 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 Sustainability / Projects Director with all supporting
documentation required by Sustainability / Projects Director 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
Sustainability / Projects Director. 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 Sustainability / Projects Director. 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
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
GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750 -Page 37 of 157
CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
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 Sustainability / Projects Director, 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 Sustainability /
Projects Director such as certified quotations or invoices shall be provided by the Contractor to
Sustainability / Projects Director at no additional cost to the Owner.
7.2.6 If the Contractor claims that any instructions given to him by AMEC /Engineer, by
drawings or otherwise, involve extra Work not covered by the Contract, he shall give
Sustainability / Projects Director 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 Sustainability /Projects Director 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

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 AMEC /Engineer 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 AMEC /Engineer and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The Contractor
shall carry out such written order promptly.

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
AMEC /Engineer, 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 AMEC /Engineer may
require. This schedule, unless objected to by Sustainability / Projects Director, 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 AMEC /Engineer 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
Sustainability / Projects Director 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
GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750 -Page 40 of 157
CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
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
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 AMEC /Engineer 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 AMEC /Engineer's receipt of the Project Application for Payment,
AMEC /Engineer will either recommend approval to the Sustainability / Projects Director for the
Application for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as AMEC /Engineer
recommends to the Sustainability / Projects Director is properly due, or notify the Contractor in
writing of AMEC /Engineer'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 AMEC /Engineer 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 AMEC /Engineer'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 AMEC /Engineer. 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 AMEC /Engineer 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.

TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
9.5 Decisions to Withhold Approval
9.5.1 AMEC /Engineer may decline to approve an Application for Payment if, in his opinion, the
application is not adequately supported. If the Contractor and AMEC /Engineer cannot agree on
a revised amount, AMEC /Engineer shall process the Application for the amount it deems
appropriate. AMEC /Engineer 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; (4) reasonable
evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum; (5)
damage to AMEC /Engineer, Sustainability / Projects Director, 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 Sustainability / Projects Director.
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 AMEC /Engineer 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 AMEC /Engineer. 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 AMEC /Engineer and Sustainability / Projects Director 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 Subcontractor's 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.
GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750 -Page 42 of 157
CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
9.6.3 AMEC /Engineer 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 Sustainability / Projects Director on account of portions of the Work
done by such Subcontractor.
9.6.4 Neither the Owner nor Sustainability / Projects Director 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
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 Sustainability / Projects Director 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 pay to each of his Subcontractors, not later than the end of the calendar month
in which each payment is made to the Contractor, the representative amount allowed the
Contractor on account of the Work performed by the Subcontractor. 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.
9.7 Substantial Completion
9.7.1 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.
9.7.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner
agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor and AMEC /Engineer 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, AMEC /Engineer 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
AMEC /Engineer. The Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by
AMEC /Engineer, to determine Substantial Completion. When the Work or designated portion
GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750 -Page 43 of 157
CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
thereof is substantially complete, AMEC /Engineer 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. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the
Owner and Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such
Certificate.
9.7.3 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon
application by the Contractor and certification by AMEC /Engineer and Sustainability / Projects
Director, the Owner shall make payment, reflecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for such
Work or portion thereof as provided in the Contract Documents.
9.8 Partial Occupancy or Use
9.8.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work
at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor,
provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer as required under Subparagraph
11.3.1 and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such partial
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 AMEC /Engineer 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 Sustainability / Projects Director.
9.8.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Sustainability / Projects
Director, AMEC /Engineer 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.
9.9 Final Completion and Final Payment
9.9.1 Upon completion of the Work, the Contractor shall forward to AMEC /Engineer a written
Notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also forward to
AMEC /Engineer a final Contractor's Application for Payment. Upon receipt, AMEC /Engineer will
promptly make such inspection. When AMEC /Engineer finds the Work acceptable under the
Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, AMEC /Engineer will promptly issue a
final Approval for Payment stating that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief,
GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750 -Page 44 of 157
CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
and on the basis of their observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in
accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance
found to be due the Contractor and noted in said final Approval is due and payable.
AMEC /Engineer's final Approval for Payment will constitute a further representation that
conditions listed in Subparagraph 9.10.2 as precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final
payment have been fulfilled.
9.9.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to AMEC /Engineer and Sustainability / Projects Director (1) an affidavit that
payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for
which the Owner or the Owner's property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts
withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that

9.9.3 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor or material supplier shall
constitute a waiver of claims by that payee except those previously made in writing and
identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of final Application for Payment. Such waivers
shall be in addition to the waiver described Subparagraph 4.7.5.
9.10 Payment of Subcontractors
9.10.1 Any requirement of this Article 9 that the Contractor furnish proof to the Owner or
Sustainability / Projects Director that the subcontractors and materialmen have been paid is for
the protection and convenience of the Owner only. Unpaid subcontractors and materialmen
may only seek payment from the Contractor and the surety that provided the Contractor's Public

coordination with the safety programs of other Contractors.
10.1.2 In the event the Contractor encounters on the site material reasonably believed to be
asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) which has not been rendered harmless, the
Contractor shall immediately stop Work in the area affected and report the condition to the
Owner, Sustainability / Projects Director and AMEC /Engineer in writing. The Work in the
affected area shall not thereafter be resumed except by written agreement of the Owner and
Contractor if in fact the material is asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and has not been
rendered harmless. The Work in the affected area shall be resumed in the absence of asbestos
or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), or when it has been rendered harmless, by written
agreement of the Owner and Contractor.
10.1.3 The Contractor shall not be required pursuant to Article 7 to perform without consent any
Work relating to asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB).
10.1.5 If reasonable precautions will be inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death

CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
Note: AMEC /Engineer will record the minutes to this inspection meeting and
distribute accordingly.
3. Follow -up Inspections —The Contractor's Quality Control Representative
will inspect the work daily to assure the continuing conformance of the
work to the workmanship standards established during the preparatory
and initial inspections.
Additionally, as a part of the follow -up inspection, sign -off sheets will be
utilized as often as possible. The intent of these sheets is to achieve
concurrence from other trade contractors and responsible parties that
ensuing work can indeed commence over underlying work. This will
prevent oversights and omissions which could elevate costs. Sign -off
sheets shall be used for, but not be limited to, concrete, drywall, ceilings,
painting, roofing substrates and flooring. These reports are to be
generated by the Contractor and submitted to AMEC /Engineer
Superintendent for approval prior to the start-up of work.
Failure to generate a sign -off sheet or to attain proper signatures prior to
covering up underlying work may affect payment for that piece of work if
ensuing problems are detected or not. This disciplinary action shall be
carried out via the Nonconformance Report. (See Section 1.4.13 of this
plan.)
Note: The Contractor shall be responsible to record these inspections and all
other project related activities encountered throughout the day on the
Contractor Daily Quality Control Report.
4. Completion Inspections —Upon completion of a given feature of the work,
the Contractor's Quality Control Representative will meet with the
Sustainability / Projects Director representative AMEC /Engineer, if he so
desires to attend, to perform an inspection of the completed work.
Nonconforming items will be identified and corrected prior to
commencement of the next operation.
Note: The Contractor shall conduct and report corrections of this inspection
which shall be a required submittal.
5. Follow -On Inspections —Upon execution of the contractor's completion
inspection in elements of the work which result in concealment; such as,
ceiling and drywall installations, the Contractor shall schedule and
conduct multi -trade or singular inspections prior to covering installation.
Note: AMEC /Engineer will record the minutes to this inspection meeting.
6. Pre -Final Inspection —Upon substantial completion of the project work
AMEC /Engineer shall coordinate and conduct a universal inspection of all
areas and elements of the work. The Sustainability / Projects Director
may be represented if she so desires. This inspection shall be completed
CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN 00980 -Page 71 of 157
CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
at least (15) days prior to the final substantial completion inspection which
shall be conducted by AMEC /Engineer. All deficiencies and incomplete
work should be completed prior to the final substantial completion
inspection.
B. OPERATION AND CHECK OUT TESTING
The Contractor will provide personnel and equipment to perform the operational
tests and check -out of the equipment, facilities or equipment constructed,
fabricated or installed under this Contract. The Sustainability / Projects Director
representative AMEC /Engineer will coordinate and witness all such tests.
Notification should be given at least ten (10) days in advance of the scheduled
tests.
C. FINAL INSPECTION
AMEC /Engineer will coordinate and attend all final inspections of the work. The
Sustainability / Projects Director may be represented if she so desires. Prior to
requesting a final inspection, all tests for the equipment and systems must be
completed.
See Section 01700 for contract closeout.
1.4 REPORTING
Maintaining accurate and retrievable records is extremely important in the Quality
Assurance Program. These records will act as a main source of information in the
present and in the future for the entire Sustainability / Projects Director team. The main
report that will be utilized to provide this information is the Daily Quality Control Report.
Nonconformance Reports may also be issued.
A. DAILY QUALITY CONTROL REPORT
The Daily Quality Control Report shall be used to document the summary of daily
inspection activities performed by the Contractor's designated Quality Control
Representative. It shall include any of the steps of inspection that are performed
that day, all test monitoring and any rework of nonconforming items. The daily
Quality Control Report section of the Daily Superintendent's Report will be
routinely used for daily reporting requirements. When the magnitude or
complexity necessitates such, a more separate and comprehensive form will be
used. Reference Contractor's Daily Report, and as needed Contractor Daily
Quality Control Report, Section 01385.
B. NONCONFORMANCE REPORT
Nonconformance Reports will be issued for work that is found to be in
nonconformance with the contract documents or the referenced quality
standards. The report will be issued by Sustainability / Projects Director.
CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN 00980 -Page 72 of 157
CULVERT INSTALLATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CANAL #277
TROPICAL BAY ESTATES, BIG PINE KEY, MONROE COUNTY, FL
It is not the intent to routinely and repeatedly issue nonconformance reports, but
to issue them only after normal enforcement standards have been exhausted, or
if the work performed is a detriment to the project.
A copy of the Nonconformance Report will be forwarded to the Site Project
Manager for his information and /or action. It should also be included in the
Contractor's Daily Quality Report package for general review.
Nonconformance Reports will be signed off once the deficient item or items have
adequately been corrected. This will be done by the issuing Superintendent and
Project Manager. These sign -offs will be included with a corresponding
corrective action taken. Significant nonconformance needs to be addressed to
prevent recurrence. The signed -off report will also be submitted for review.
Work activities affected by a Nonconformance Report will proportionally counter -
affect payments. Whether that be partial or full retainage will be left up to the
discretion of Sustainability / Projects Director.
1.5 AUDITS
A. Sustainability / Projects Director may choose at its option to perform Contractor
audits of their Contractor Quality Control Plan at any time. Reports of these audit
results will be forwarded to the Project Manager for his action. Any action items
noted during an audit for the Contractor will be followed up and documented to
insure compliance and avoid recurrence.
1.6 SUMMARY
The intention of this plan is to create a system of checks and balances that will minimize
delays caused by rework and a lack of planning and maximize production and insure
that the finished product is one that the entire construction team can pride themselves in.
These goals can be achieved by giving the Owner exactly what he has bought. The
Owner will expect no more and through Quality Assurance, the construction team will
provide no less.

Notes: (I) Provide supplemental execution by any additional parties, such as joint venturers. (2) Any singular reference to
Contractor, Surety, Owner, or other party shall be considered plural where applicable.
1. The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract,
themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
EJCDC C-610 — Performance Bond
Published December 2010 by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee.
(00610) -Page 1
2. If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety
and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond, except
when applicable to participate in a conference as provided in
Paragraph 3.
3. If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the
Surety's obligation under this Bond shall arise after:
3.1 The Owner first provides notice to the Contractor and
the Surety that the Owner is considering declaring a Contractor
Default. Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is
requesting a conference among the Owner, Contractor, and Surety
to discuss the Contractor's performance. If the Owner does not
request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business
days after receipt of the Owner's notice, request such a
conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner
shall attend. Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference
requested under this Paragraph 3.1 shall be held within ten (10)
business days of the Surety's receipt of the Owner's notice. If the
Owner, the Contractor, and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall
be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction
Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner's
right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default;
3.2 The Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates
the Construction Contract and notifies the Surety; and
3.3 The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the
Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the Construction
Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the
Construction Contract.
4. Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice
requirement in Paragraph 3.1 shall not constitute a failure to comply
with a condition precedent to the Surety's obligations, or release the
Surety from its obligations, except to the extent the Surety
demonstrates actual prejudice.
5. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the
Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's expense take one of the
following actions:
5.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the
Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract;
5.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction
Contract itself, through its agents or independent contractors;
5.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified
contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for
performance and completion of the Construction Contract,
arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the Owner
and a contractor selected with the Owners concurrence, to be
secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a
qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the
Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of
damages as described in Paragraph 7 in excess of the Balance of
the Contract Price incurred by the Owner as a result of the
Contractor Default; or
5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for
completion, or obtain a new contractor, and with reasonable
promptness under the circumstances:
5.4.1 After investigation, determine the amount for
which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as
practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to
the Owner; or
5.4.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the
Owner, citing the reasons for denial.
6. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 5 with
reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on
this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from
the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its
obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce
any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided
in Paragraph 5.4. and the Owner refuses the payment or the Surety has
denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner
shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.
7. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3, then
the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be greater than
those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the
responsibilities of the Owner to the Surety shall not be greater than
those of the Owner under the Construction Contract. Subject to the
commitment by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price,
the Surety is obligated, without duplication for:
7.1 the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of
defective work and completion of the Construction Contract;
7.2 additional legal, design professional, and delay costs
resulting from the Contractor's Default, and resulting from the
actions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 5; and
7.3 liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are
specified in the Construction Contract, actual damages caused by
delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor.
8. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.3, or 5.4, the
Surety's liability is limited to the amount of this Bond.
9. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or .others for
obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Construction
Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or
set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of
action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the
Owner or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.
10. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including
changes of time, to the Construction Contract or to related
subcontracts, purchase orders, and other obligations.
11. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be
instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the location in
which the work or part of the work is located and shall be instituted
within two years after a declaration of Contractor Default or within
two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two years
after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this
Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this paragraph are
void or prohibited by law, the minimum periods of limitations
available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of the suit shall be
applicable.
