1.1.2 The Contract: The Contract represents the entire and integrated agreement between
the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either
written or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The Contract
Documents shall not be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1) between
the Architect and Contractor, (2) Between Facilities Development and Contractor, (3) between
the Architect and Facilities Development, (4) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or (5)
between any persons or entities other than the Owner and Contractor. The Owner shall,
however, be entitled to enforce the obligations under the Contract intended to facilitate
performance of the duties of Facilities Development and Architect.
1.1.3 The Work: The term "Work" means the construction and services required by the

the Contract Documents may be the whole or a part and which may include construction by
other Contractors and by the Owner's own forces including persons or entities under separate
contracts not administered by Facilities Development.

Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the intended
results.
1.2.4 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement
of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in
establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.
1.2.5 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words which have well-known
technical or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance

7.2.1 A change Order is a written instrument prepared by Facilities Development and signed
by the Owner, Facilities Development, Architect and Contractor, stating their agreement upon all
of the following:
.1 a change in the Work;
.2 the amount of the adjustment in the Contract Sum, if any; and
.3 the extent of the adjustment in the Contract Time, if any.
7.2.2 The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined
in one or more of the following methods:
.1 mutual acceptance of lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient
substantiating data to permit evaluation and payment, and approved by the appropriate
authority in writing;
.2 unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and
approved by the appropriate authority in writing;
.3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually
acceptable fixed or percentage fee;
.4 or by method provided in subparagraph 7.2.3.
7.2.3 If none of the methods set forth in Clauses 7.2.1 or 7.2.2 is agreed upon, the Contractor,
provided a written order signed by the Owner or Facilities Development is received, shall
promptly proceed with the Work involved. The cost of such Work shall then be determined by
daily force accounts in a form acceptable to the Owner and Facilities Development. The daily
force account forms shall identify Contractor and lor Subcontractor personnel by name, total
hours for each man, each piece of equipment and total hours for equipment and all material(s)
by type for each extra Work activity claim. Each daily force account form shall be signed by the
designated Facilities Development's representative no later than the close of business on the
day the Work is performed to verify the items and hours listed. Extended pricing of these forms
shall be submitted to Facilities Development with all supporting documentation required by
Facilities Development for inclusion into a change order. Unless otherwise provided in the
Contract Documents, cost shall be limited to the following: cost of materials, including sales tax
and cost of delivery; cost of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment
insurance, and fringe benefits required by agreement or custom; works' or workmen's
compensation insurance; and the rental value of equipment and machinery. Markups for
overhead and profit will be in accordance with subparagraph 7.2.4. Pending final determination
of cost, payments on account shall be made as determined by Facilities Development. The
amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor for any deletion or change, which results in a
19
BIG PINE KEY PARK
net decrease in the Contract Sum, will be the amount of the actual net cost to the Owner as
confirmed by Facilities Development. 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 total net cost to the Owner. 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 the Work will be five percent (5%);
3. if the Subcontractor performs part of the actual Work, his percentage mark-up for
overhead and profit shall be a maximum addition of ten percent (10%) on his direct Work only. If
the Contractor performs part of the actual Work, his percentage mark-up for overhead and profit
shall be a maximum addition of ten percent (10%) on his direct Work only.
7.2.5 The Contractor shall furnish to the Owner through Facilities Development, an itemized
breakdown of the quantities and prices used in computing the value of any change that might be
ordered. Any additional supporting documentation requested by Facilities Development such as
certified quotations or invoices shall be provided by the Contractor to Facilities Development at
no additional cost to the Owner.
7.2.6 If the Contractor claims that any instructions given to him by Facilities Development, by
drawings or otherwise, involve extra Work not covered by the Contract, he shall give Facilities
Development 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 Facilities Development for the Extra Work shall include a
complete description of the extra Work, the total cost and a detailed cost breakdown by labor,
material and equipment for each additional activity required to be performed. Mark-ups shall be
limited as specified elsewhere in this Article.
.2 Except as otherwise specifically provided, no claim for additional cost shall be
allowed unless the complete notice specified by this subparagraph is given by the Contractor.
7.2.7 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Contractor shall carry on the Work and maintain
its progress during any dispute or claim proceeding, and Owner shall continue to make
payments to the Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents. Disputes unresolved
shall be settled in accordance with subparagraph 4.7. The Contractor shall maintain completed
daily force account forms in accordance with subparagraph 7.2.3 for any dispute or claim item.

BIG PINE KEY PARK
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 Facilities Development and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The
Contractor shall carry out such written order promptly.
ARTICLE 8
TIME
8.1 Definitions
8.1.1 Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized
adjustments, allotted in the Contract Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work.
8.1.2 The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in the Agreement. The
date shall not be postponed by the failure to act of the Contractor or of persons or entities for
whom the Contractor is responsible.
8.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by Facilities Development in
accordance with Paragraph 9.8.
8.1.4 The term "day" as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless
otherwise specifically defined.
8.1.5 The Owner/Facilities Development shall be the final judge as to whether Substantial
Completion has been achieved and certifies the date to the Contractor and Architect.
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, Facilities Development, 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, Facilities Development, or by any other cause which Facilities
Development determines may justify the delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by no
21
BIG PINE KEY PARK
cost Change Order for such reasonable time as Facilities Development may determine, in
accordance with subparagraph 6.2.7.
8.3.2 Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to Facilities Development not
more than seventy-two (72) hours after the commencement of the delay in accordance with
paragraph 6.2.7; otherwise it shall be waived. Any claim for extension of time shall state the
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.
8.3.4 If the Project is delayed as a result of the Contractor's refusal or failure to begin the
Work on the date of commencement as defined in Paragraph 8.1.2, or his refusal or failure to
carry the Work forward expeditiously with adequate forces, the Contractor causing the delay
shall be liable, but not limited to, delay claims from other Contractors which are affected.
ARTICLE 9
PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
9.1 Contract Sum
9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, including authorized adjustments, is
the total amount payable by the Owner to the Contractor for performance of the Work under the
Contract Documents.
9.2 Schedule of Values
9.2.1 Before the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Architect,
through Facilities Development, 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 Facilities
Development and Architect may require. This schedule, unless objected to by Facilities
Development 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 Architect an itemized Application for Payment for Work completed
in accordance with the schedule of values. Such application shall be notarized and supported
by such data substantiating the Contractor's right to payment as the Owner, Facilities
Development 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.
22
BIG PINE KEY PARK
.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 approval for payment have been
previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the Contractor's
knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims security interests or
encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or
entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to
the Work. All Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors shall execute an agreement stating that
title will so pass, upon their receipt of payment from the Contractor. The warranties are for the
administrative convenience of the Owner only and do not create an obligation on the part of the
Owner to pay directly any unpaid subcontractor, laborer or materialmen. Such persons must
seek payment from the Contractor or his public construction bond surety only.
9.4 Approval for Payment
9.4.1 The Architect will assemble a Project Application for Payment by combining the
Contractor's applications with similar applications for progress payments from other Contractors
and certify the amounts due on such applications.
9.4.2 After the Architect's receipt of the Project Application for Payment, Facilities
Development and Architect will either approve the Application for Payment, with a copy to the
Contractor, for such amount as Facilities Development and Architect determine is properly due,
or notify the Contractor in writing of Facilities Development's and Architect's reasons for
withholding approval in whole or in part as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1.
9.4.3 The issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will constitute representations made
separately by Facilities Development 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 Facilities
Development'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
Facilities Development or Architect. The issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will
further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount
approved. However, the issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will not be a
representation that Facilities Development 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
23
BIG PINE KEY PARK
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of
requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by
the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) made examination to
ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of
the Contract Sum.
9.5 Decisions to Withhold Approval
9.5.1 Facilities Development/Architect may decline to approve an Application for Payment if, in
his opinion, the application is not adequately supported. If the Contractor and Facilities
Development cannot agree on a revised amount, Facilities Development shall process the
Application for the amount it deems appropriate. Facilities Development may also decline to
approve any Application for Payment because of subsequently discovered evidence or
subsequent inspections. It may nullify, in whole or part, any approval previously made to such
extent as may be necessary in its opinion because of: (1) defective Work not remedied; (2)
third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims; (3)
failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials, or
equipment; (4) reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance
of the Contract Sum; (5) damage to Facilities Development, the Owner, or another contractor
working at the project; (6) reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the
contract time; (7) persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
No payment shall be made to the Contractor until certificates of insurance or other evidence of
compliance by the Contractor, with all the requirements of Article 11, have been filed with the
Owner and Facilities Development.
9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding approval are removed, approval will be made
for amounts previously withheld.
9.6 Progress Payments
9.6.1 After Facilities Development and Architect have issued an Approval for Payment, the
Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract
Documents, and shall so notify Facilities Development 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 the final payment is made. The
balance ninety percent (90%) of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be
approved for payment.
.1 It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or
receive progress payment based on quantities of Work in excess of those provided in the
proposal or covered by approved change orders, except when such excess quantities have
been determined by Facilities Development 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
24
BIG PINE KEY PARK
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 Facilities Development 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, Facilities Development and Architect on account of portions
of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
9.6.4 Neither the Owner, Facilities Development 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 progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner
shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.
9.6.7 All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the
sole property of the Owner, and by this provision shall not be construed as relieving the
Contractor from the sole responsibility for the materials and Work upon which payments have
been made or the restoration for any damaged material, or as a waiver of the right of the Owner
or Facilities Development to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the Contract.
9.6.8 Except in case of bona fide disputes, or where the Contractor has some other justifiable
reason for delay, the Contractor shall pay for all transportation and utility services not later than
the end of the calendar month following that in which services are rendered and for all materials,
tools, and other expendable equipment which are delivered at the site of the Project. The
Contractor shall pay to each of his Subcontractors, not later than the end of the calendar month
in which each payment is made to the Contractor, the representative amount allowed the
Contractor on account of the Work performed by the Subcontractor. The Contractor shall, by an
appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, also require each Subcontractor to make
payments to his suppliers and Sub-subcontractors in a similar manner.
9.8 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 Facilities
Development 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, Facilities Development, will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or
designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the inspection discloses any item,
whether or not included on the list, which is not in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial
Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the Architect. The Contractor
shall then submit a request for another inspection by Facilities Development, to determine
25
BIG PINE KEY PARK
Substantial Completion. When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete,
Facilities Development 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 Facilities Development, 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 Facilities Development 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 Facilities Development.
9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Facilities Development
and Contractor shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in
order to determine and record the condition of the Work.
9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the
Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
9.10 Final Completion and Final Payment
9.10.1 Upon completion of the Work, the Contractor shall forward to Facilities Development a
written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also forward
to Facilities Development a final Contractor's Application for Payment. Upon receipt, Facilities
Development will forward the notice and Application to the Architect who will promptly make
such inspection. When the Architect, based on the recommendation of Facilities Development,
finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed,
Facilities Development and Architect will promptly issue a final Approval for Payment stating
that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of their observations
and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with terms and conditions of the
Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the Contractor and noted in
26
BIG PINE KEY PARK
said final Approval is due and payable. Facilities Development's and Architect's final Approval
for Payment will constitute a further representation that conditions listed in Subparagraph 9.10.2
as precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment have been fulfilled.
9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to the Architect through Facilities Development (1) an affidavit that payrolls,
bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which
the Owner or the Owner's property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld
by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance
required by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment is made, is currently
in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 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.
9.10.3 Not Used.
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, Facilities Development 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.
ARTICLE 10
PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY
10.1 Safety Precautions and Programs

coordination with the safety programs of other Contractors.
10.1.2 In the event the Contractor encounters on the site material reasonably believed to be
asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) which has not been rendered harmless, the
Contractor shall immediately stop Work in the area affected and report the condition to the
Owner, Facilities Development 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.

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 Facilities Development in writing. The Owner, Contractor and
Facilities Development 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 the
event such material or substance is found to be present, to verify that it has been rendered
harmless. Unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish in
writing to the Contractor and Facilities Development the names and qualifications of persons or
entities who are to perform tests verifying the presence or absence of such material or
substance or who are to perform the task of removal or safe containment of such material or
substance. The Contractor and Facilities Development will promptly reply to the Owner in
writing stating whether or not any of them has reasonable objection to the persons or entities
proposed by the Owner. If the Contractor or Facilities Development has an objection to a
person or entity proposed by the Owner, the Owner shall propose another to whom the
Contractor and Facilities Development have no reasonable objection.
10.2 Safety of Persons and Property
10.2.1 The Contractor shall take reasonable precautions for safety of, and shall provide
reasonable protection to prevent damage, injury or loss to:
.1 employees on the Work and other persons who may be affected thereby;
.2 the Work and materials and equipment to be incorporated therein, whether in storage
on or off the site, under care, custody or control of the Contractor or the Contractor's
Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors;
.3 other property at the site or adjacent thereto, such as trees, shrubs, lawns, walks,
pavements, roadways, structures and utilities not designated for removal, relocation or

by anyone for whose acts they may be liable and for which the Contractor is responsible under
Clauses 10.2.1.2, 10.2.1.3 and 10.2.1.4, except damage or loss attributable to acts or omissions
of the Owner, Constructions Manager or Architect or anyone directly or indirectly employed by
any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, and not attributable to the
fault or negligence of the Contractor. The foregoing obligations of the Contractor are in addition
to the Contractor's obligations under Paragraph 3.18.
10.2.6 The Contractor shall designate a responsible member of the Contractor's organization at
the site whose duty shall be the prevention of accidents. This person shall be the Contractor's
superintendent unless otherwise designated by the Contractor in writing to the Owner, Facilities
Development and Architect.
10.2.7 The Contractor shall not load or permit any part of the construction or site to be loaded
so as to endanger its safety.
10.3 Emergencies
10.3.1 In an emergency affecting safety of persons or property, the Contractor shall act, at the
Contractor's discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. Additional compensation
or extension of time claimed by the Contractor on account of an emergency shall be determined
as provided in Paragraph 4.7 and Article 7.
ARTICLE 11
INSURANCE AND BONDS
11.1.1 Prior to commencement of Work governed by this contract (including the prestaging of
personnel and material), the Contractor shall obtain, at its own expense, insurance as specified
in the schedule set forth in Section 00110 Proposal Form which are made part of this
Agreement. The Contractor will ensure that the insurance obtained will extend protection to all
subcontractors engaged by the Contractor. As an alternative the Contractor may require all
subcontractors to obtain insurance consistent with the attached schedules.
11.1.2 The Contractor will not be permitted to commence Work governed by the Agreement
(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 Agreement 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 of insurance.
11.1.3 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

ARTICLE 12
UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK
12.1 Uncovering of Work
12.1.1 If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to Facilities Development's or Architect's
request or to requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if required
in writing by either Facilities Development or Architect, 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 Facilities Development or Architect has
not specifically requested to observe prior to its being covered, Facilities Development or
30
BIG PINE KEY PARK
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 Facilities Development 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 completed.
The Contractor shall bear costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing
and inspections and compensation for Facilities Development'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 Facilities Development, 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 Facilities Development'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
31
BIG PINE KEY PARK
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.

authorization from the Owner, instruct the Contractor to make arrangements for such additional
testing, inspection or approval by an entity acceptable to the Owner, and the Contractor shall

inspections are to be made so Facilities Development and Architect may observe such
procedures. The Owner shall bear such costs except as provided in Subparagraph 13.5.3.

including those of repeated procedures and compensation for Facilities Development's and
Architect's services and expenses.
