The contractor shall not imbalance its schedule of values nor artificially 1 1/10/98 FIXED PRICE CONTRACT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR 00500-4 • inflate any element thereof. The violation of this provision by the contractor shall constitute a material breach of this contract. The schedule of values shall be used only as a basis for the contractor's applications for payment and shall only constitute such basis after it has been acknowledged in writing by the County Engineer and the owner. 5.2 Payment Procedure 5.2.1 The owner shall pay the contract price to the contractor as provided below. 5.2.2 Progress Payments—Based upon the contractor's applications for payment and upon certificates for payment subsequently issued to the owner, the owner shall make progress payments to the contractor on account of the contract price. 5.2.3 Thirty days after commencement of the work, and every thirty days thereafter until completion of the project, the contractor may submit an application for payment to the County .Engineer in such form and manner, and with such supporting data and content, as the owner or the County Engineer may require. Therein, the contractor may request payment for ninety percent (90%) of that portion of the contract price properly allocable to contract requirements properly provided, labor, materials and equipment properly incorporated in the work plus ninety percent (90%) of that portion of the contract price properly allocable to materials or equipment properly stored onsite (or elsewhere if approved in advance in writing by the owner) for subsequent incorporation in the work, less the total amount of previous payments received from the owner. Payment for stored materials and equipment shall be conditioned upon the contractor's . proof satisfactory to the owner, that the owner has title to such materials and equipment and shall include proof of required insurance.

Thereafter, the County Engineer will review the application for payment and may also review the work at the project site or elsewhere to determine whether the quantity and quality of the work is as represented in the application for payment and is as required by this contract. The County Engineer shall determine and certify to the owner the amount properly owing to the contractor.

If the contractor does not pay the subcontractor the amount due, the subcontractor may only seek payment from the contractor's public construction bond surety. In no event is the owner obligated to pay any subcontractor an amount owed to it by the contractor. Language similar to this paragraph 5.2.5 must appear in all contracts between the contractor and its subcontractors. 5.2.6 No progress payment, nor any use or occupancy of the project by the owner, - shall be interpreted to constitute an acceptance of any -work not in strict accordance with this contract. 5.3 Withheld Payment 5.3.1 The owner may decline to make payment, may withhold funds, and, if necessary, may demand the return of some or all of the amounts previously paid to the contractor, to protect the owner from loss because of: (a) defective work not remedied by the contractor nor, in the opinion of the owner, likely to be remedied by the contractor; (b) claims of third parties against the owner or the owner's property; (c) failure by the contractor to pay subcontractors or others in a prompt and proper fashion; (d) evidence that the balance of the work cannot be completed in accordance with the contract for the unpaid balance of the contract price; (e) evidence that the work will not be completed in the time required for substantial or final completion; (f) persistent failure to carry out the work in accordance with the contract; (g) damage to the owner or a third party to whom the owner is, or may be, liable. 11/10/98 FIXED PRICE CONTRACT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR 00500-6 In the event that the owner makes written demand upon the contractor for amounts previously paid by the owner as contemplated in this subparagraph 5.3.1, the contractor shall promptly comply with such demand. 5.4 Unexcused Failure to Pay 5.4.1 If within twenty (20) days after the date established herein for payment to the contractor by the owner, the owner, without cause or basis hereunder, fails to pay • the contractor any amount then due and payable to the contractor, then the contractor may after seven (7) additional days' written notice to the owner and the County Engineer, and without prejudice to any other available rights or remedies it may have, stop the work until payment of those amounts due from the owner have been received. 5.5 Substantial Completion 5.5.1 When the contractor believes that the work is substantially complete, the contractor shall submit written notice that the project is ready for substantial completion inspection. The County Engineer, on the basis of contractor's notice, shall determine that the work is in fact substantially complete. The County Engineer will prepare a certificate of substantial completion which shall establish the date of substantial completion, shall state the responsibilities of the contractor for project security, maintenance, utilities, damage to the work, and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the contractor shall complete the items listed therein. The certificate of substantial completion shall be submitted to the contractor for written acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them in such certificate. Upon substantial completion of the work and. execution by both the owner and the contractor of the certificate of substantial completion, the owner shall pay the contractor an amount sufficient to increase total payments to the contractor to one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price less five percent (5%) retention and less three hundred percent (300%) of the reasonable cost as determined by the owner and the County Engineer for completing all incomplete work, correcting and bringing into conformance all defective and nonconforming work, and handling all unsettled claims.

Thereupon, the County Engineer will make final inspection of the work and, if work is complete in full accordance with this contract and this contract has been fully performed, the County Engineer will promptly issue a final certificate for payment certifying to the owner that the project is complete and the contractor is entitled to the remainder of the unpaid contract price, less any amount withheld pursuant to this contract. Guarantees required by the contract shall commence. on the date of final 1 1/10/98 FIXED PRICE CONTRACT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR 00500-7 • completion of the work. If the County Engineer is unable to issue its final certificate for payment and is required to repeat its final inspection of the work, the contractor shall bear the cost of such repeat final inspection(s) which cost may be deducted by the owner from the contractor's final payment. 5.6.1.1 If the contractor fails to achieve final completion within the time fixed therefor by the County Engineer in its certificate of substantial completion, the contractor shall pay the owner the sum of two-hundred dollars per day for each and every calendar day of unexcused delay in achieving final.:completion beyond the date set forth herein for final completion of the work. Any sums due and payable hereunder by the contractor shall be payable, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages representing an estimate of delay damages likely to be sustained by the owner, estimated at or before the time of executing this contract. When the owner reasonably believes that final completion will be inexcusably delayed, the owner shall be entitled, but not required, to withhold from any amounts otherwise due the contractor an amount then believed by the owner to be adequate to recover liquidated damages applicable to such delays. If and when the contractor overcomes the delay in achieving final completion, or any part thereof, for which the owner has withheld payment, the owner shall promptly release to the contractor those funds withheld, but no longer applicable, as liquidated damages. 5.6.2 The contractor shall not be entitled to final payment unless and until it submits to the County Engineer its affidavit that all payrolls, invoices for materials and equipment, and other liabilities connected with the work for which the owner, or the owner's property might be responsible, have been fully paid or otherwise satisfied; releases and waivers of lien from all subcontractors of the contractor and of any and all parties required by the owner; and the consent of surety to final payment. The affidavits, releases and waivers required from subcontractors and materialmen are for the administrative convenience of the owner only. They do not create an obligation on the part of the owner to assure that any subcontractor or materialman •is paid. If unpaid, subcontractors and materialmen must seek payment from the contractor's public construction bond surety. 5.6.3 The owner shall make final payment of all sums due the contractor per Section 01027 of the Technical Specifications Project Manual. 5.6.4 Acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims against the owner by the contractor except for those claims previously made in writing against the owner by the contractor, pending at the time of final payment, and identified in writing by the contractor as unsettled at the time of its request for final payment. 1 1/10/98 FIXED PRICE CONTRACT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR 00500-8 ARTICLE VI THE OWNER • 6.1 Information and Services Required from Owner 6.1 .1 The owner shall furnish. to the contractor, at the time of executing this contract, any and all written and tangible material in its possession concerning conditions below ground at the site of the project.
