any kind (1) between the Architect and Contractor, (2) between Project Management
and Contractor, (3) between the Architect and Project Management, (4) between the
Owner and a Subcontractor or (5) between any persons or entities other than the Owner

of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors
or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.
1.2.4 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words which have well -known
technical or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in
accordance with such recognized meanings.

the Architect, and copies thereof furnished to the Contractor, are for use solely with
respect to the Project. They are not to be used by the Contractor or any Subcontractor,
Sub - subcontractor or material or equipment suppliers unless they are granted a limited
license to use and reproduce applicable portions of the Drawings, Specifications and
other documents prepared by the Architect appropriate to and for use in the execution of
their Work under the Contract Documents. All copies made under this license shall bear
the statutory copyright notice, if any, shown on the Drawings, Specifications and other
documents prepared by the Architect. Submittal or distribution to meet official regulatory
requirements or for other purposes in connection with this Project is not to be construed
as publication in derogation of copyright or other reserved rights.

personally or by an agent specifically so empowered by the Owner, may order the
Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has

any other person or entity.
2.4 Owner's Right to Carry Out the Work
2.4.1 If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the

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.
6.2.7 Should the Contractor contend that he /she is entitled to an extension of time for
completion of any portion or portions of the work, he /she shall, within seventy -two (72)
hours of the occurrence of the cause of the delay, notify Project Management in writing,
of his /her contention: setting forth (A) the cause for the delay, (B) a description of the
portion or portions of work affected thereby, and (C) all details pertinent thereto. 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 seventy -two
(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 /she 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 /she 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 /her 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,
GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750- Page 36 of 164

the Owner may clean up and allocate the cost among those responsible as Project
Management 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, 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.
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;
GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750- Page 37 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
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 a 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 does not perform the Work, the maximum
mark -up for managing the Work will be five percent (5 %);
GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750- Page 38 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
3 If the Subcontractor performs part of the actual Work, his /her percentage
mark -up for overhead and profit shall be a maximum addition of ten percent
(10 %) on his /her direct Work only. If the Contractor performs part of the
actual Work, his /her 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 /her by Project Management,
by drawings or otherwise, involve extra Work not covered by the Contract, he /she 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.
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.
7.2.8 One or more changes to the Work within the general scope of this Contract, may be
ordered by Change Order. The Owner may also issue written directions for changes in
the Work and may issue Construction Change Directives, as set forth below. The
Contractor shall proceed with any such changes or Construction Change Directives
without delay and in a diligent manner, and same shall be accomplished in strict
accordance with the terms and conditions otherwise provided for in the Contract.
7.2.9 The execution of a Change Order by the Contractor shall constitute conclusive evidence
of the Contractor's agreement to the ordered changes in the work, this Contract as thus
amended, the Contract Price and the time for performance by the Contractor. The
Contractor, by executing the Change Order, waives and forever releases any claim
against the Owner for additional time or compensation for matters relating to, arising out
of or resulting from the Work included within or affected by the executed Change Order
of which the Contractor knew or should have known.

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.

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

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.
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

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 (15) 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.
GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750- Page 41 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
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. Each
application for payment of materials stored onsite shall not exceed the amount of the
certified vendor invoice(s) for said materials, less retainage per Sec. 00500, 5.6.1 -5.8
and F.S. 218.735 (8)(a).
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 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
GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750- Page 42 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
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; (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.
GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750- Page 43 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
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
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.
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
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 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 /her suppliers
and Sub - subcontractors in a similar manner.
9.8 Substantial Completion
GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750- Page 44 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
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. 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.
9.8.3 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon
application by the Contractor and certification by Project Management, the Owner shall
make payment, reflecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for such Work or portion
thereof as provided in the Contract Documents.
9.9 Partial Occupancy or Use
9.9.1 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 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.
GENERAL CONDITIONS 00750- Page 45 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
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. Upon
receipt, Project Management will promptly make such inspection. When Project
Management, finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the
Contract fully performed, Project Management will promptly issue a final Approval for
Payment stating that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief, 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. Project
Management'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.
9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to Project Management (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 insurance required by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment
is made, is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least
thirty ( 30) days' prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement
that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be
renewable to cover the period required by the Contract Documents, (4) consent of
surety, if any, to final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other data establishing
payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens,
claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract. The following
documents (samples included in Section 01027, Application for Payment) are required
for Final Payment:
(1) Application and Certificate for Payment.
(2) Continuation Sheet.
(3) Certificate of Substantial Completion.
(4) Contractor's Affidavit of Debts and Claims.
(5) Contractor's Affidavit of Release of Liens.
(6) Final Release of Lien.

9.10.3 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.
9.11 Payment of Subcontractors
9.11.1 Any requirement of this Article 9 that the Contractor furnish proof to the Owner or Project
Management 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 Construction Bond. The Contractor must insert this paragraph 9.11
in all its contracts with subcontractors and materialmen.
10.0 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY
10.1 Safety Precautions and Programs
10.1.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety

requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after
receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given
the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition. This period of one (1) year shall

limitation with respect to other obligations which the Contractor might have under the
Contract Documents. Establishment of the time period of one (1) year as described in
Subparagraph 12.2.2, relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct
the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with
the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which
proceedings may be commenced to establish the Contractor's liability with respect to the
Contractor's obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

identified and corrected prior to commencement of the next operation.
CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN 00980- Page 75 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
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: Project Management will record the minutes to this inspection meeting.
6. Pre -Final Inspection —Upon substantial completion of the project work
Project Management shall coordinate and conduct a universal inspection
of all areas and elements of the work. The Architect/Engineer may be
represented if he /she so desires. This inspection shall be completed at
least (15) fifteen days prior to the final substantial completion inspection
which shall be conducted by Project Management. All deficiencies and
incomplete work should be completed prior to the final substantial
completion inspection.
1.6 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 Project Management 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 Project Management.
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.
CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN 00980- Page 76 of 164
Cudjoe Key New Fire Station
A copy of the Nonconformance Report will be forwarded to the Site Project
Manager for his /her 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 Project Management.
1.6
AUDITS
A. Project Management 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 /her action. Any action items
noted during an audit for the Contractor will be followed up and documented to
insure compliance and avoid recurrence.
