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 of Ten percent (10%):

Architect determines for incomplete Work and unsettled claims; and
5.7.2 Add, if final completion of the Work is thereafter materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor, any
additional amounts payable in accordance with Subparagraph 9.10.3 of the General Conditions.

General Insurance Requirements
for
Contractors and Subcontractors
Prior to the commencement of work governed by this contract (including the pre-staging of personnel and
material), the Contractor shall obtain, at his/her own expense, insurance as specified in the attached
schedules, which are made part of this contract. The Contractor will ensure that the insurance obtained
will extend protection to all Sub-Contractors engaged by the Contractor. As an alternative, the Contractor
may require all Subcontractors to obtain insurance consistent with the attached schedules.
The Contractor will not be permitted to commence work governed by this contract (including pre-staging
of personnel and material) until satisfactory evidence of the required insurance has been furnished to the
County as specified below. Delays in the commencement of work, resulting from the failure of the
Contractor to provide satisfactory evidence of the required insurance, shall not extend deadlines specified
in this contract and any penalties and failure to perform assessments shall be imposed as if the work
commenced on the specified date and time, except for the Contractor's failure to provide satisfactory
evidence.
The Contractor shall maintain the required insurance throughout the entire term of this contract and any
extensions specified in any attached schedules. Failure to comply with this provision may result in the
immediate suspension of all work until the required insurance has been reinstated or replaced. Delays in
the completion of work resulting from the failure of the Contractor to maintain the required insurance shall
not extend deadlines specified in this contract and any penalties and failure to perform assessments shall
be imposed as if the work had not been suspended, except for the Contractor's failure to maintain the
required insurance.
The Contractor shall provide, to the County, as satisfactory evidence of the required insurance, either:
· Certificate of Insurance
or
· A certified copy of the actual insurance policy.
The County, at its sole option, has the right to request a certified copy of any or all insurance policies
required by this contract.
All insurance policies must specify that they are not subject to cancellation, nonrenewal, material change,
or reduction in coverage unless a minimum of thirty (30) days prior notification is given to the County by
the insurer.
The acceptance and/or approval of the Contractor's insurance shall not be construed as relieving the
Contractor from any liability or obligation assumed under this contract or imposed by law.
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, its employees and officials will be included as
"Additional Insured" on all policies, except for Workers' Compensation.

MANUAL
WAIVER OF INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
There will be times when it will be necessary, or in the best interest of the County, to deviate from the
standard insurance requirements specified within this manual. Recognizing this potential, and acting on
the advice of the County Attorney, the Board of County Commissioners has granted authorization to Risk
Management to waive and modify various insurance provisions.
Specifically excluded from this authorization is the right to waive:
· The County as being named as an Additional Insured-If a letter from the Insurance
Company (not the Agent) is presented, stating that they are unable or unwilling to name the
County as an Additional Insured, Risk Management has been granted the authority to waive
this provision.
and
· The Indemnification and Hold Harmless provisions
Waivino of insurance provisions could expose the County to economic loss. For this reason, every
attempt should be made to obtain the standard insurance requirements. If a waiver or a modification is
desired, a Request for Waiver of Insurance Requirements form should be completed and submitted for
consideration with the proposal.
After consideration by Risk Management and if approved, the form will be returned, to the County
Attorney who will submit the Waiver with the other contract documents for execution by the Clerk of the
Courts.
Should Risk Management deny the Waiver Request, the other party may file an appeal with the County
Administrator or the Board of County Commissioners, who retains the final decision-making authority.

Contractor, (2) Between the Construction Manager and Contractor, (3) between the Architect
and construction Manager, (4) between the Owner and a Subcontractor of subcontractor or (5)

Contract Documents, whether completed or partially completed, and includes all other labor,
materials, equipment and services provided or to be provided by the Contractor to fulfill the

Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the
limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept
expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect's action will be taken with such
promptness consistent with the constraints of the project schedule so as to cause no delay in
the Work of the Contractor or in the activities of the other Contractors, the Owner, or the
Construction Manager, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to
permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of
determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities,
or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of
which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as Contractor as required by the Contract
Documents. The Architect's review of the Contractor's submittals shall not relieve the
Contractor of the obligations under Paragraphs 3.3, 3.5 and 3.12. The Architect's review shall
not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the
Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The
Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the
item is a component.
4.6.13 The Construction Manager will prepare Change Orders and Construction Change
Directives.

of Substantial completion and final completion, and will receive and forward to the Architect
written warranties and related documents required by the Contract and assembled by the
Contractor. The Architect will forward to the Construction Manager a final Project Application
and Project Certificate for Payment upon compliance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents.
4.6.17 If the Owner and Architect agree, the Architect will provide one or more project
representatives to assist in carrying out the Architect's responsibilities at the site. The duties,
responsibilities and limitations of authority of such project representatives shall be as set forth in
an exhibit to be incorporated in the Contract Documents.
4.6.18 The Architect will interpret and decide matters concerning performance under and
requirements of the Contract Documents on written request of the Construction Manager,
Owner or Contractor. The Architect's response to such requests will be made with reasonable
01/23/029:20 AM General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 00750-13
promptness and within any time limits agreed upon. If no agreement is made concerning the
time within which interpretations required of the Architect shall be furnished in compliance with
this Paragraph 4.6, then delay shall not be recognized on account of failure by the Architect to
furnish such interpretations until 15 days after written request is made for them.
4.6.19 Interpretations and decisions of the Architect will be consistent with the intent of and
reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the form of
drawings. When making such interpretations and decisions, the Architect will endeavor to
secure faithful performance by both Owner and Contractor, will not show partiality to either and
will not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions so rendered in good faith.
4.6.20 The Architect's decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect will be final if consistent
with the intent expressed in the Contract Documents.

perform a portion of the Work at the site. The term "Subcontractor" is referred to throughout
the Contract Documents as if singular in number and means a Subcontractor or an authorized
representative of the Subcontractor. The term "Subcontractor" does not include other
Contractors or subcontractors of other Contractors.
5.1.2 A Sub-subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct or indirect contract with a
Subcontractor to perform a portion of the Work at the site. The term "Sub-subcontractor" is

Construction Manager for review by the Owner, Construction Manager and Architect the names
of persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a
special design) proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The Construction Manager will
promptly reply to the Contractor in writing stating whether or not the Owner, Construction
Manager or Architect, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any such proposed
person or entity. Failure of the Construction Manager to reply promptly shall constitute notice of
no reasonable objection.
5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom the Owner,
Construction Manager or Architect has made reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor
01/23/02 9:20 AM General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 00750-16
shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Owner, Construction Manager, or
Architect has made reasonable objection.
5.2.3 If the Owner or Construction Manager refuses to accept any person or entity on a list

assumes toward the Owner, Construction Manager and Architect. Each subcontract agreement
shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner, Construction Manager and Architect under
the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that
subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights. When appropriate, the Contractor shall
require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The
Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, copies of the Contract
Documents which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the

construction or operations by the Owner's own forces or other Contractors, the Contractor shall,
prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the Construction Manager
and Architect apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render it
unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor so to report shall
constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner's own forces or other Contractors' completed or
partially completed or partial completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Contractor's
Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.
6.2.3 Costs caused by delays or by improperly timed activities or defective construction shall
be borne by the party responsible therefor.
6.2.4 The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Contractor to
completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Owner or other Contractors

of the delay, notify the Construction Manager in writing, of his 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 the Construction Manager
within (72) hours after the delay has ceased to exist.
.1 It is a condition precedent to the consideration or prosecution of any claim for an
extension of time that the foregoing provisions be strictly adhered to in each instance and, if the
Contractor fails to comply, he shall be deemed to have waived the claim.
.2 The Contractor agrees that whether or not any delay, regardless of cause, shall be
the basis for an extension of time he shall have no claim against the Owner or Construction
Manager for an increase in the Contract price, nor a claim against the Owner or Construction
01/23/02 9: 20 AM General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 00750-18
Manager for a payment or allowance of any kind for damage, loss or expense resulting from
delays; nor shall the Contractor have any claim for damage, loss or expense resulting from
interruptions to, or suspension of, his work to enable other contractors to perform their work.
The only remedy available to the Contractor shall be an extension of time.

6.3.1 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

does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier because of a dispute or other
reason.
9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on
account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be
made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in
writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned
upon compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the
Owner's title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, and
shall include applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and
equipment stored off the site.
9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will
pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that upon
submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for which Certificates 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 Certificate for Payment
9.4.1 The Construction Manager will assemble a Project Application for Payment by
combining the Contractor's applications with similar applications for progress payments from
01/23/029:20 AM
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-23
other Contractors and, after certifying the amounts due on such applications, forward them to
the Architect within seven days.
9.4.2 Within seven days after the Architect's receipt of the Project Application for Payment,
the Construction Manager and Architect will either issue to the Owner a Project Certificate for
Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as the Construction Manager and
Architect determine is properly due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the
Construction Manager's and Architect's reasons for withholding certification in whole or in part
as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1. Such notification will be forwarded to the Contractor by the
Construction Manager.
9.4.3 The issuance of a separate Certificate for Payment or a Project Certificate for Payment
will constitute representations made separately by the Construction Manager and Architect 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 the Construction Manager's and Architect'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 the Construction Manager or Architect. The
issuance of a separate Certificate for Payment or a Project Certificate for Payment will further
constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
However, the issuance of a separate Certificate for Payment or a Project Certificate for
Payment will not be a representation that the Construction Manager or Architect 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 Certification
9.5.1 The Construction Manager/Architect may decline to approve an Application for Payment
if, in his opinion, the application is not adequately supported. If the Contractor and Construction
Manager cannot agree on a revised amount, the Construction Manager shall process the
Application for the amount he deems appropriate. The Construction Manager may also decline
to approve any Application for Payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or
subsequent inspections, he may nullify, in whole or part, any approval previously made to such
extent as may be necessary in his 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 the Construction Manager, 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.
.1 No payment shall be made to the Contractor until certificates of insurance or other
evidence of compliance by the Contractor, within all the requirements of Article 11, have been
filed with the Owner and Construction Manager.
9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be
made for amounts previously withheld.
01/23/029:20 AM General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 00750-24
9.6 Progress Payments
9.6.1 After the Construction Manager and Architect have issued a Project Certificate for
Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the
Contract Documents, and shall so notify the Construction Manager and Architect. From the
total of the amount determined to be payable on a progress payment, ten percent (10%) of
such total amount will be deducted and retained by the Owner until final payment is made. The
balance ninety percent (90%) of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be
certified 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 the Construction Manager 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 The Construction Manager 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, Construction Manager and Architect on account of portions
of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
9.6.4 Neither the Owner, Construction Manager nor Architect 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 Certificate for Payment, 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 to the right of the Owner
or Construction Manager 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 is Subcontractor interest therein. The
01/23/029:20 AM
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-25
Contractor shall, by an appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, also require each
Subcontractor to make payments to his suppliers and Sub-subcontractors in a similar manner.
9.8 Substantial Completion
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or
designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents
so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use.
9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner
agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor and Construction
Manager shall jointly prepare and submit to the Architect 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, the Architect, assisted by the Construction Manager, will make an inspection to
determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the
Architect's 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 the Architect. The Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection
by the Architect, assisted by the Construction Manager, to determine Substantial Completion.
When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Architect 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 the Construction Manager and Architect, 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
Construction Manager shall jointly prepare and submit a list to the Architect 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
the Architect after consultation with the Construction Manager.
01/23/029:20 AM General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 00750-26
9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Construction Manager,
Contractor and Architect 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 the Construction Manager
a written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also
forward to the Construction Manager a final Contractor's Application for Payment. Upon
receipt, the Construction Manager will forward the notice and Application to the Architect who
will promptly make such inspection. When the Architect, based on the recommendation of the
Construction Manager, finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the
Contract fully performed, the Construction Manager and Architect will promptly issue a final
Certificate 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 Certificate is due and payable. The Construction
Manager's and Architect's final Certificate 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 ~ny remaining retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to the Architect through the Construction Manager (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 payments currently
in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 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, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner, if a Subcontractor
refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond
satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien.
9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially
delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final
completion, and the Construction Manager and Architect so confirm, the Owner shall, upon
application by the Contractor and certification by the Construction Manager and Architect, and
without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work
fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if
bond have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the
Architect through the Construction Manger prior to certification of such payment. Such
payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall
not constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner as provided in Subparagraph 4.7.5.
9.10.4 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
01/23/029:20 AM General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 00750-27
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,
Architect or Construction Manager 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.

writing. The Owner, Contractor, Construction Manager and Architect shall then proceed in the
same manner described in Subparagraph 10.1.2.
10.1.6 The Owner shall be responsible for obtaining the services of a licensed laboratory to
verify a presence or absence of the material or substance reported by the Contractor and, in

UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK
12.1 Uncovering of Work
12.1.1 If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to the Construction Manager's or Architect's
request or to requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if
required in writing by either, be uncovered for their observation and be replaced at the
Contractor's expense without change in the Contract Time.
12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Construction Manager or Architect
has not specifically requested to observe prior to its being covered, the Construction Manager
or Architect may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor, if such
Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement
shall, by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the Owner, if such Work is not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs unless the
condition was caused by the Owner or one of the other Contractors in which event the Owner
shall be responsible for payment of such costs.
12.2 Correction of Work
12.2.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Construction Manager or
Architect or failing to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents, whether
observed before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or
01/23/029:20 AM
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-31
completed. The Contractor shall bear costs of correcting such rejected Work, including
additional testing and inspections and compensation for the Construction Manager's and
Architect's services and expenses made necessary thereby.
12.2.2 If, within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof, or after the date for commencement of warranties established under
Subparagraph 9.9, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract
Documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the 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 year shall be extended with respect to portions of Work
first performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial
Completion and the actual performance of the Work. This obligation under this Subparagraph
12.2.2 shall survive acceptance of the Work under the Contract and termination of the Contract.
The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.
12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of the Work which are not in
accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected by the
Contractor nor accepted by the Owner.
12.2.4 If the Contractor fails to correct nonconforming Work within a reasonable time, the
Owner may correct it in accordance with Paragraph 2.4. If the Contractor does not proceed
with correction of such nonconforming Work within a reasonable time fixed by written notice
from the Architect issued through the Construction Manager, the Owner may remove it and
store the salvable materials or equipment at the Contractor's expense, if the Contractor does
not pay costs of such removal and storage within ten days after written notice, the Owner may
upon ten additional days' written notice sell such materials and equipment at auction or at
private sale and shall account for the proceeds thereof, after deducting costs and damages that
should have been borne by the Contractor, including compensation for the Construction
Manager's and Architect's services and expenses made necessary thereby, if such proceeds of
sale do not cover costs which the Contractor should have borne, the Contract Sum shall be
reduced by the deficiency. If payments then or thereafter due the contractor are not sufficient
to cover such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
12.2.5 The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction,
whether completed or partially completed, of the Owner or other Contractors caused by the
Contractor's correction or removal of Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of
the Contract Documents.
12.2.6 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of
limitation with respect to other obligations which the Contractor might have under the Contract
Documents. Establishment of the time period of one 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.
12.3 Acceptance of Nonconforming Work
12.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of
the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction,
in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment
shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.

to the Contractor or Owner, as the case may be, shall, upon application, be certified by the
Architect after consultation with the Construction Manager, and this obligation for payment shall
survive termination of the Contract.

General Insurance Requirements
for
Contractors and Subcontractors
Prior to the commencement of work governed by this contract (including the pre-staging of personnel and
material), the Contractor shall obtain, at his/her own expense, insurance as specified in the attached
schedules, which are made part of this contract. The Contractor will ensure that the insurance obtained
will extend protection to all Sub-Contractors engaged by the Contractor. As an alternative, the Contractor
may require all Subcontractors to obtain insurance consistent with the attached schedules.
The Contractor will not be permitted to commence work governed by this contract (including pre-staging
of personnel and material) until satisfactory evidence of the required insurance has been furnished to the
County as specified below. Delays in the commencement of work, resulting from the failure of the
Contractor to provide satisfactory evidence of the required insurance, shall not extend deadlines specified
in this contract and any penalties and failure to perform assessments shall be imposed as if the work
commenced on the specified date and time, except for the Contractor's failure to provide satisfactory
evidence.
The Contractor shall maintain the required insurance throughout the entire term of this contract and any
extensions specified in any attached schedules. Failure to comply with this provision may result in the
immediate suspension of all work until the required insurance has been reinstated or replaced. Delays in
the completion of work resulting from the failure of the Contractor to maintain the required insurance shall
not extend deadlines specified in this contract and any penalties and failure to perform assessments shall
be imposed as if the work had not been suspended, except for the Contractor's failure to maintain the
required insurance.
The Contractor shall provide, to the County, as satisfactory evidence of the required insurance, either:
· Certificate of Insurance
or
· A certified copy of the actual insurance policy.
The County, at its sole option, has the right to request a certified copy of any or all insurance policies
required by this contract.
All insurance policies must specify that they are not subject to cancellation, nonrenewal, material change,
or reduction in coverage unless a minimum of thirty (30) days prior notification is given to the County by
the insurer.
The acceptance and/or approval of the Contractor's insurance shall not be construed as relieving the
Contractor from any liability or obligation assumed under this contract or imposed by law.
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, its employees and officials will be included as
"Additional Insured" on all policies, except for Workers' Compensation.

WAIVER OF INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
There will be times when it will be necessary, or in the best interest of the County, to deviate from the
standard insurance requirements specified within this manual. Recognizing this potential, and acting on
the advice of the County Attorney, the Board of County Commissioners has granted authorization to Risk
Management to waive and modify various insurance provisions.
Specifically excluded from this authorization is the right to waive:
. The County as being named as an Additional Insured-If a letter from the Insurance
Company (not the Agent) is presented, stating that they are unable or unwilling to name the
County as an Additional Insured, Risk Management has been granted the authority to waive
this provision.
and
. The Indemnification and Hold Harmless provisions
WaivinQ of insurance provisions could expose the County to economic loss. For this reason, every
attempt should be made to obtain the standard insurance requirements. If a waiver or a modification is
desired, a Request for Waiver of Insurance Requirements form should be completed and submitted for
consideration with the proposal.
After consideration by Risk Management and if approved, the form will be returned, to the County
Attorney who will submit the Waiver with the other contract documents for execution by the Clerk of the
Courts.
Should Risk Management deny the Waiver Request, the other party may file an appeal with the County
Administrator or the Board of County Commissioners, who retains the final decision-making authority.

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 of
Ten percent (10%):
5.6.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner; and

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 the Construction Manager. 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 as confirmed by the
Construction Manager. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions
are involved in anyone 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 credit shall be the net cost. 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 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 this 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 then 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 the Construction Manager, an
itemized breakdown of the quantities and prices used in computing the value of any change that
06/05/02 4:28 PM

EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
might be ordered. Any additional supporting documentation requested by the Construction
Manager such as certified quotations or invoices shall be provided by the Contractor to the
Construction Manager at no additional cost to the Owner.
7.2.6 If the Contractor claims that any instructions given to him by the Construction Manager,
by drawings or otherwise, involve extra Work not covered by the Contract, he shall give the
Construction Manager 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 the Construction Manager 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 4.8.5. The Contractor shall maintain
completed daily force account forms in accordance with subparagraph 7.2.3 for any dispute or
claim item.
7.4 Authority
7.4.1 The Architect 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 the Construction Manager and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The
Contractor shall carry out such written order promptly.

8.2 Progress and Completion
8.2.1 Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. By
executing the Agreement the Contractor confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period
for performing the Work.
8.2.2 The Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner in
writing, prematurely commence operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of
insurance required by Article 11 to be furnished by the Contractor. The date of commencement
of the Work shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance.
8.2.3 The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve
Substantial Completion within the Contract Time.
8.3 Delays and Extensions of Time
8.3.1 If the Contractor is delayed, at any time, in the progress of the Work by any act or
neglect of the Owner, Construction Manager, or the Architect/Engineer, or by any employee of
either, or by any separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the
Work, or by fire, unusual delay in transportation, adverse weather conditions not reasonably
anticipatable, unavoidable casualties or any causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by delay
authorized by the Owner, Construction Manager, or by any other cause which the Construction

cause of the delay and the number of days of extension requested. If the cause of the delay is
continuing, only one claim is necessary, but the Contractor shall report the termination of the
cause for the delay within seventy-two (72) hours after such termination in accordance with
paragraph 6.2.7; otherwise, any claim for extension of time based upon that cause shall be
waived.
8.3.3 No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum for either acceleration or delay will be
allowed for extensions of time pursuant to this Paragraph 8.3 or for other changes in the
Construction Schedules.

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
06/05/02 4:28 PM
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-22
EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
9.2.1 Before the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Architect,
through the Construction Manager, 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 the
Construction Manager and Architect may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the
Construction Manager or Architect, 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 the Construction Manager an itemized Application for Payment for
Work completed in accordance with the schedule of values. Such application shall be
notarized, if required, and supported by such data substantiating the Contractor's right to
payment as the Owner, Construction Manager or Architect may require, such as copies of
requisitions from Subcontractors and material suppliers, and reflecting retainage if provided for
elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
.1 Such applications may include request for payment on account of changes in the
Work which have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives but not yet
included in Change Orders.
.2 Such applications may not include requests for payment of amounts the Contractor
does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier because of a dispute or other
reason.
9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on
account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be
made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in
writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon
compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the
Owner's title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, and
shall include applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and
equipment stored off the site.
9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will
pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that upon
submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for which Certificates 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 Certificate for Payment
9.4.1 The Construction Manager will assemble a Project Application for Payment by
combining the Contractor's applications with similar applications for progress payments from
other Contractors and, after certifying the amounts due on such applications, forward them to
the Architect within seven days.
06/05/02 4:28 PM General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 00750-23
EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
9.4.2 Within seven days after the Architect's receipt of the Project Application for Payment, the
Construction Manager and Architect will either issue to the Owner a Project Certificate for
Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as the Construction Manager and
Architect determine is properly due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the
Construction Manager's and Architect's reasons for withholding certification in whole or in part
as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1. Such notification will be forwarded to the Contractor by the
Construction Manager.
9.4.3 The issuance of a separate Certificate for Payment or a Project Certificate for Payment
will constitute representations made separately by the Construction Manager and Architect 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 the Construction Manager's and Architect'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 the Construction Manager or Architect. The
issuance of a separate Certificate for Payment or a Project Certificate for Payment will further
constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
However, the issuance of a separate Certificate for Payment or a Project Certificate for Payment
will not be a representation that the Construction Manager or Architect 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 Certification
9.5.1 The Construction Manager/Architect may decline to approve an Application for Payment
if, in his opinion, the application is not adequately supported. If the Contractor and Construction
Manager cannot agree on a revised amount, the Construction Manager shall process the
Application for the amount he deems appropriate. The Construction Manager may also decline
to approve any Application for Payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or
subsequent inspections, he may nullify, in whole or part, any approval previously made to such
extent as may be necessary in his 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 the Construction Manager, 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.
.1 No payment shall be made to the Contractor until certificates of insurance or other
evidence of compliance by the Contractor, within all the requirements of Article 11, have been
filed with the Owner and Construction Manager.
9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be
made for amounts previously withheld.

9.6 Progress Payments
9.6.1 After the Construction Manager and Architect have issued a Project Certificate for
Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the
Contract Documents, and shall so notify the Construction Manager and Architect. From the
total of the amount determined to be payable on a progress payment, ten percent (10%) of such
total amount will be deducted and retained by the Owner until final payment is made. The
balance ninety percent (90%) of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be
certified 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 the Construction Manager 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 The Construction Manager 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, Construction Manager and Architect on account of portions
of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
9.6.4 Neither the Owner, Construction Manager nor Architect 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 Certificate for Payment, 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 to the right of the Owner
or Construction Manager 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 is Subcontractor interest therein. The
06/05/02 4:28 PM
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-25
EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
Contractor shall, by an appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, also require each
Subcontractor to make payments to his suppliers and Sub-subcontractors in a similar manner.
9.8 Substantial Completion
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or
designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents
so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use.
9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner
agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor and Construction
Manager shall jointly prepare and submit to the Architect 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, the Architect, assisted by the Construction Manager, will make an inspection to
determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the
Architect's 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 the Architect. The Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection
by the Architect, assisted by the Construction Manager, to determine Substantial Completion.
When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Architect 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 the Construction Manager and Architect, 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 Construction Manager shall
jointly prepare and submit a list to the Architect 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
06/05/02 4:28 PM
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-26
EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
and Contractor or, if no agreement is reached, by decision of the Architect after consultation
with the Construction Manager.
9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Construction Manager,
Contractor and Architect 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 the Construction Manager
a written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also forward
to the Construction Manager a final Contractor's Application for Payment. Upon receipt, the
Construction Manager will forward the notice and Application to the Architect who will promptly
make such inspection. When the Architect, based on the recommendation of the Construction
Manager, finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully
performed, the Construction Manager and Architect will promptly issue a final Certificate 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 Certificate is due and payable. The Construction Manager's
and Architect's final Certificate 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 the Architect through the Construction Manager (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 payments currently
in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 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, to the
extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner, if a Subcontractor refuses to
furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond
satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien.
9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially
delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final
completion, and the Construction Manager and Architect so confirm, the Owner shall, upon
application by the Contractor and certification by the Construction Manager and Architect, and
without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work
fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if
bond have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the
Architect through the Construction Manger prior to certification of such payment. Such payment
06/05/024:28 PM
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-27
EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner as provided in Subparagraph 4.7.5.
9.10.4 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, Architect
or Construction Manager 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.

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, Construction Manager and Architect 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, or in accordance with final determination by the Architect.
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
to persons resulting from a material or substance encountered on the site by the Contractor, the
Contractor shall, upon recognizing the condition, immediately stop Work in the affected area
and report the condition to the Owner, Construction Manager and Architect in writing. The
Owner, Contractor, Construction Manager and Architect shall then proceed in the same manner
described in Subparagraph 10.1.2.

in writing by either, be uncovered for their observation and be replaced at the Contractor's
expense without change in the Contract Time.
12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Construction Manager or Architect
has not specifically requested to observe prior to its being covered, the Construction Manager or
Architect may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor, if such
Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall,
by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the Owner, if such Work is not in accordance with

before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed.
The Contractor shall bear costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing
and inspections and compensation for the Construction Manager's and Architect's services and
expenses made necessary thereby.
12.2.2 If, within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof, or after the date for commencement of warranties established under
Subparagraph 9.9, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract
Documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the 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 year shall be extended with respect to portions of Work
first performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial

deficiency. If payments then or thereafter due the contractor are not sufficient to cover such
amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
12.2.5 The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction,
whether completed or partially completed, of the Owner or other Contractors caused by the

limitation with respect to other obligations which the Contractor might have under the Contract
Documents. Establishment of the time period of one 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.

section of the Contractor Daily Quality Control Report.
1.3 INSPECTION AND TESTING
A. INSPECTION PLAN
Construction Management utilizes a multi-point inspection plan for each separate
feature of work to be performed under this Contract, Le., work described by each
division of the technical provision section of the contract specifications. This plan
consists of the following:
1. Preparatory Inspection-Prior to commencing the work, the Contractor's
Quality Control Representative will meet with the Construction
Management Superintendent and the Architect's representative if he so
desires to attend and check the following items at a minimum for
conformance:
(a) Approval of shop drawings and submittals.
(b) Approval of inspection and test reports of materials and equipment
to be utilized.
(c) Completion of previous operations of preliminary work.
(d) Availability of materials and equipment required.
(e) Potential utility outages.
(f) Any other preparatory steps dependent upon the particular
operation.
(g) Quality standards.
(h) Safety or environmental precautions to be observed. (Phase
Hazard)
Note: Construction Management will record the minutes to this inspection
meeting and distribute accordingly.
2. Initial Inspection-Upon completion of a representative sample of a given
feature of the work, the Contractor's Quality Control Representative will
meet with the Construction Management Superintendent and the
Architect's representative if he so desires to attend and check the
following items at a minimum for conformance:
(a) Workmanship to established quality standards.
(b) Configuration to contract drawings and specifications.
(c) Construction methods, equipment and tools utilized.
(d) Materials and articles utilized.
(e) Adequacy of testing methods.

06/05/02 4:28 PM
CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
00980-2
EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
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 the Construction
Management 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.B 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
Construction Management Superintendent, 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: Construction Management will record the minutes to this inspection
meeting.
6. Pre-Final Inspection-Upon substantial completion of the project work
Construction Management shall coordinate and conduct a universal
inspection of all areas and elements of the work. The Architect/Engineer
may be represented if he so desires. This inspection shall be completed
at least (15) days prior to the final substantial completion inspection which
shall be conducted by the Architect/Engineer. All deficiencies and
incomplete work should be completed prior to the final substantial
completion inspection.
B. OPERATION AND CHECK OUT TESTING
06/05/02 4:28 PM
CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
00980-3
EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
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 Construction Management
Superintendent 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
Construction Management will coordinate and attend all final inspections of the
work by the Architect/Engineer. 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 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 Construction 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.
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
06/05/02 4:28 PM
CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
00980-4
EAST MARTELLO ELECTRIC
corrective action taken. Significant nonconformances need 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 Construction Management.
1.5 AUDITS
A. Construction 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 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.
