Uncontrollable Circumstance. Any delay or failure of either Party to perform its
obligations under this Agreement will be excused to the extent that the delay or failure was caused
directly by an event beyond such Party's control, without such Party's fault or negligence and that
by its nature could not have been foreseen by such Party or, if it could have been foreseen, was
unavoidable: (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, tropical storm, hurricane or

contract disputes will not excuse performance by Contractor under this Section. Contractor shall
give County written notice within seven (7) days of any event or circumstance that is reasonably
likely to result in an Uncontrollable Circumstance, and the anticipated duration of such
Uncontrollable Circumstance. Contractor shall use all diligent efforts to end the Uncontrollable

the County as the Owner's Representative may determine. The Contractor may only seek a no
cost Change Order for such reasonable time as the Owner's Representative may determine.

Contract Sum to the Contractor as provided below and elsewhere in the Contract
Documents.
5.2 The period covered by each Application for payment shall be one (1) calendar month

5.3 Payment will be made by the Owner, upon receipt of a proper invoice from the Contractor,

disbursal of funds by the Clerk. The Owner is exempt from sales and use taxes. A copy of
the tax exemption certificate will be provided by the Owner upon request.
5.4 Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the Schedule of Values submitted by
the Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Schedule of Values shall
allocate the entire Contract Sum among the various portions of the Work and be prepared
in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Director of
Project Management may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Director of
Project Management, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications
for Payment.

the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for Payment.

in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be included in Applications for Payment. The
amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change
which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be the net cost to the Owner,
less Overhead, Profit and Documented Costs incurred prior to the change Request, as
indicated in the corresponding line item in the Approved Schedule of Values for that line
item as confirmed by the Director of Project Management. When both additions and credits
covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for
overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to
that change.
5.6.2 Add that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable to materials and equipment
delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the completed
construction (or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably stored off the site at a
location agreed upon in writing), less retainage;
5.6.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner; and
Page 4 of 38

Page 9 of 38
individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such

by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish
information.
4. The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with

September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the
Secretary of Labor.
6. The Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order

Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books,
records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for
purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and
orders.
7. In the event of the Contractor's non-compliance with the nondiscrimination clauses
of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract

or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the
Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of

subcontractor or vendor. The Contractor will take such action with respect to any
subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means
of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for non-compliance; provided,
however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with,

§§3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5,
"Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and
Assisted Construction"). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to
pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified
in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be
required to pay wages not less than once a week. If applicable, the County must place a
current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each
solicitation, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof. The
decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of
the wage determination. The COUNTY must report all suspected or reported violations to
the Federal awarding agency.
When required by Federal program legislation, which includes Emergency Management
Preparedness Grant Program, Homeland Security Grant Program, Nonprofit Security
Grant Program, Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program, Port Security Grant Program
and Transit Security Grant Program (it does not apply to other FEMA grant and
cooperative agreement programs, including the Public Assistance Program), the
contractors, in contracts for construction or repair work above $2,000 in situations where
the Davis-Bacon also applies, must also comply with the Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act
(40 U.S.C. § 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part
3, "Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole
Page 17 of 38
or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States"). As required by the Act, each
contractor or subrecipient is prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person
employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of
the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The County must report all
suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency.

incorporated by reference into this contract.
(2) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts
the clause above and such other clauses as FEMA may by appropriate
instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include
these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be
responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor
with all of these contract clauses.
(3) Breach. A breach of the contract clauses above may be grounds for termination
of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor as provided
in 29 C.F.R. § 5.12.
Additionally, in accordance with the regulation, each contractor and subcontractor must
furnish each week a statement with respect to the wages paid each of its employees
engaged in work covered by the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act and the Davis Bacon Act
during the preceding weekly payroll period. The report shall be delivered by the contractor
or subcontractor, within seven days after the regular payment date of the payroll period,
to a representative of a Federal or State agency in charge at the site of the building or
work.

mechanics or laborers must comply with 40 U.S.C.§§ 3702 and 3704, as supplemented
by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. §3702 of the Act,
each CONTRACTOR must compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the
basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is
permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a
half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work
week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide
that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working
conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not
apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open
market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.

part of the contract work, which may require or involve the employment of
laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic
Page 18 of 38

excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic
receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the
basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such
workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any
violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the
Contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the
unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable
to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District
of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated
Damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each
individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in
violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the sum
of $27 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or
permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without
payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph
(b)(1) of this section.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The Federal agency
shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld,
from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or
subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the
same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same
prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy
any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and
liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of
this section.
(4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any
subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this
section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these
clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be
responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor
with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this section.

Note : Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017 . If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they
work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees
must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness,
injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care;
to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the
employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related
needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from,
or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to
the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual
assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor
requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at
https : //www.dol .gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts .
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5 . 5 (a) (1) (ii) ) .
-------------------------------------------------------------
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
Page 32 of 38
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type (s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local) ,
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate) .
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or
""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example :
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014 . PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification,
which in this example would be Plumbers . 0198 indicates the
local union number or district council number where applicable,
i .e . , Plumbers Local 0198 . The next number, 005 in the example,
is an internal number used in processing the wage determination.
07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated
rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014 .
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate .
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-
union rates . Example : SULA2012-007 5/13/2014 . SU indicates the
rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation
of rates and are not majority rates . LA indicates the State of
Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these
classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the
example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Page 33 of 38
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification (s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 1000 of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE : UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014 . UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate . OH indicates the state . The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
-------------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1 . ) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be .
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a
wage determination matter

§2 If the Contractor promptly makes payment of all sums due to Claimants, and defends, indemnifies and holds
harmless the owner from claims,demands, liens or suits by any person or entity seeking payment for labor,
materials or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract,then the Surety and the
Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond.
§3 If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety's obligation to the Owner under this
Bond shall arise after the Owner has promptly notified the Contractor and the Surety (at the address described in
Section 13) of claims, demands, liens or suits against the Owner or the Owner's property by any person or entity
seeking payment for labor, materials or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction

surety(at the address described in Section 13).

§7 When a Claimant has satisfied the conditions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2,whichever is applicable,the Surety shall
promptly and at the Surety's expense take the following actions:

constitute a waiver of defenses the Surety or Contractor may have or acquire as to a Claim, except as to
undisputed amounts for which the Surety and Claimant have reached agreement. If, however,the Surety fails to
discharge its obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2,the surety shall indemnify the Claimant for the
reasonable attorney's fees the Claimant incurs thereafter to recover any sums found to be due and owing to the
Claimant.

Paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum period of limitation available to sureties as a defense in the
