Submission of a Bid will constitute an agreement on the part of the Contractor and its Surety, if any, with the Owner that: (i) 5% of the Bidder’s maximum Bid Price, including alternates, if any, is a reasonable estimate of the presumed actual damages the Owner would suffer as a result of Contractor’s failure to enter into the Agreement and deliver the required Performance, Payment and Warranty Bond; (ii) it is difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damages to the Owner that would result from a breach; and (iii) the amount of 5% of the Bidder’s maximum Bid Price, including alternates, if any, shall be liquidated damages.

8.2 The Bid security of the Successful Bidder will be retained until such Bidder has executed the Agreement and furnished the required Performance, Payment and Warranty Bond, whereupon it will be returned. If the Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Agreement and furnish the required Performance, Payment

{00326259.DOCX /} 4

and Warranty Bond within ten (10) days of the notice of award, or in the event the Successful Bidder fails to enter into such Agreement and furnish such Performance, Payment and Warranty Bond, if the Successful Bidder fails to pay to Owner the difference between such Bid amount and such larger amount for which Owner may in good faith contract with another party to perform the Work covered by such Bid, then Owner may annul the Notice of Award and the Bid security of that Bidder will be forfeited to the extent of such difference. The Bid security of any Bidder whom Owner believes to have a reasonable chance of receiving the award may be retained by Owner until the earlier of the seventh day after the “Effective Date of Agreement” (which term is defined in the General Conditions) or the sixty first day after the Bid opening. Bid security of other Bidders will be returned within seven (7) days of the Contract award.

PART 9. CONTRACT TIME

9.1 The number of days within which, or the date by which, the Work is to be completed (the Contract Time) is set forth in the Bid Form (or if left blank, is to be filled in by the Bidder) and will be included in the Agreement.

11.1 The Contract, if awarded, will be executed with the Successful Bidder on the basis of material and equipment described in the Drawings or specified in the Specifications.

Such list shall be accompanied by a written statement of qualifications including financial data, a summary of previous experience, previous commitments and evidence of authority to conduct business in Colorado. If Owner or Engineer after due investigation has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, other person or organization, either may (before giving the Notice of Award) request the apparent Successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute without an increase in Bid Price. If the apparent Successful Bidder declines to make any substitution, the contract shall not be awarded to such Bidder, but declining to make any such substitution will not constitute grounds for sacrificing Bid security by such Bidder. Any Subcontractor, other person or organization so listed, and to whom Owner or Engineer does not make written objection prior to the giving of the Notice of Award, will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Engineer.

12.2 No Contractor shall be required to employ any Subcontractor, other person or organization against whom the Bidder has reasonable objection.

AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made as of this ___ day of ____________, 202, between the

South Suburban Park and Recreation District, a quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado (“State”) located in the Counties of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson (“District”) with a mailing address of 4810 E. County Line Road, Littleton, Colorado 80126, and ____________, with a mailing address of , (“Contractor”) and together with District, the “Parties” or either of the Parties, a “Party”.

In consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, conditions and undertakings hereinafter set forth, District and Contractor agree as follows:

Section 1. Scope of Work. Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with the Contract Documents as identified in Section 18 for ___, including furnishing all construction plans and methods, construction management, labor, equipment and materials (generally referred to as the “Project”), and shall complete the Project, including any additional work authorized pursuant to Section 17, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Contract Documents.

Section 2. Contract Price. District shall pay Contractor for the performance of work and completion of the Project the total price of ___Dollars ($____.00) (the

“Contract Price”), subject to certain adjustments as herein provided, in accordance with the bid proposal submitted by Contractor. The Contract Price may be adjusted (i) for changes in the Contract Documents or for extensions of time to complete performance, if approved by District and Contractor as specified in Section 17; (ii) for any additional work authorized pursuant to Section 17; and (iii) for certain changes in quantities, if bid on a unit-price basis in the bid proposal. All unit quantities requiring an adjustment of the Contract Price shall be verified by Project Manager (as defined in Section 16).

Section 3. Progress Payments. District will make progress payments monthly on account of the Contract Price in accordance with partial payment applications prepared by Contractor for work performed during the last monthly period and approved by Project Manager and District. Contractor shall submit partial payment applications for the last completed work period to Project Manager by the first (1st) day of each month.

District shall authorize progress payments for the amount approved by Project Manager and District under such partial payment applications on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month. Progress payments shall not constitute final acceptance of the work.

District may withhold progress payments if: (i) Contractor’s performance is inadequate or defective and not remedied in accordance with Project Manager’s directions;

(ii) Contractor does not make prompt and proper disbursements to subcontractors on receipt of progress payments from District; (iii) Contractor does not promptly pay for materials, labor or equipment furnished on the Project; (iv) claims or liens are filed on

{00290488.DOCX / 4} 2

the Project; or (v) in Project Manager’s opinion, Contractor’s performance is not progressing satisfactorily or completion of the Project is jeopardized or delayed.

Section 4. Retainage. An amount equal to five percent (5%) of each progress payment made on the Contract Price shall be retained by District. District shall pay the remaining amount of each progress payment to Contractor without retaining additional funds if, in the opinion of Project Manager and District, satisfactory progress is being made on the Project. Such retainage of the Contract Price shall be held by District until the Project is completed and finally accepted by District in accordance with the provisions hereof. District shall pay the full amount of such retainage to Contractor within sixty (60) days of final completion and acceptance, except to the extent of any claims filed pursuant to Section 38-26-107, C.R.S. Any release of retainage to

Contractor or a subcontractor prior to final payment shall, in addition to any other requirements of the Contract Documents, require written approval from the surety furnishing bonds pursuant to Section 13.

Section 5. Final Payment.

a. Upon completion of the Project and Contractor’s submittal of notice thereof to Project Manager and District, Project Manager shall inspect the Project and reject any portion of performance not in conformity with the Contract Documents.

Defective materials, equipment or work shall be remedied immediately by Contractor before final payment. District shall make final payment to Contractor within thirty (30) days after (i) final acceptance of performance by District as specified in Section 6 and (ii) receipt of Project Manager’s confirmation to District that the Project has been completed satisfactorily. Final payment shall not, however, be due until Contractor has delivered to

District a complete release of all claims or liens against the Project and has produced satisfactory receipts, waivers or lien releases indicating final and total payment to all subcontractors and persons who have furnished materials, labor and equipment on which a lien or claim might potentially be filed in form acceptable to District. District shall, no later than ten (10) days before final payment is made, publish a notice of final payment at least twice in a legal newspaper of general circulation in any county where the work was contracted for or performed pursuant to Section 38-26-107, C.R.S.

b. By making final payment, District waives all claims against

Contractor, except those expressly declared to Contractor in writing or those arising out of: (i) defective performance appearing after final acceptance; (ii) performance in patent noncompliance with Contract Documents, unless expressly waived by District; (iii) outstanding claims of any nature, including but not limited to claims for property damage or personal injury arising during the construction period or liens or claims against the

Project; or (iv) Contractor’s failure to execute any warranty, guarantee or bond or to provide insurance or other indemnification required by the Contract Documents. By accepting final payment, Contractor waives all claims against District, except those expressly declared to District in writing received by District prior to final payment.

{00290488.DOCX / 4} 3

Section 6. Final Acceptance.

a. Final acceptance of the Project shall follow inspection and approval of Contractor’s performance by Project Manager, along with inspection by appropriate manufacturers’ representatives and governmental officials pursuant to local, State and federal requirements as necessary. District shall have the right to determine the acceptability of Contractor’s performance and conformance with the Contract

Documents, which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Contractor. Final acceptance by District is subject to the provisions of Section 5 and in no manner affects or releases any warranty or guarantee with Contractor or manufacturers or suppliers of

Project equipment or materials.

b. When presented for final acceptance, the Project shall be delivered to District in complete compliance with the Contract Documents free from any lien, claim or encumbrance, whether in existence or subsequently established by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Contract

Documents shall give Contractor or any subcontractor, laborer, supplier, manufacturer or other person or entity, either expressly or by implication, any right to assert a lien, claim or encumbrance against the Project.

Section 7. Commencement and Completion of Performance; Liquidated

Damages.

a. Contractor shall commence performance within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice to proceed, which is expected to be given on or before ___, 2021, and shall diligently prosecute all work through completion. Unless an extension of time is granted by District as hereinafter set forth, Contractor shall substantially complete the Project within a maximum period of ___ days after the date of written notice to proceed and shall finally complete the Project within a maximum period of___ days after the date of Substantial Completion. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Substantial

Completion” shall be the time at which the Project (or a specified part thereof) has progressed to the point where, in the opinion of Project Manager, the Project (or a specified part thereof) is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract

Documents, so that the Project (or a specified part thereof) can be utilized by District for the purposes for which it is intended; and (ii) “Final Completion” shall be the time at which District accepts the Project upon confirmation from Project Manager and

Contractor that the Project is totally complete in accordance with Contract Documents.

b. If Contractor fails to perform the Project within the above-referenced performance deadlines or any extension thereof (the “Performance Deadlines”), Contractor shall pay to District as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) for ordinary and general damages and inconvenience (exclusive of any special damages such as, by way of example and not limitation, any liabilities to third parties) the sum of:

{00290488.DOCX / 4} 4

1. Late startup of all major equipment: $250.00 per day

2. Late Substantial Completion: $250.00 per day

3. Late Final Completion: $250.00 per day.

These liquidated damages are based upon District’s evaluation of its likely losses in the event the Performance Deadlines are not met. The liquidated damages herein established are agreed to by Contractor after full discussion of the implication of this

Section. The failure to perform the work and complete the Project by the Performance

Deadlines will cause significant damage to District. District and Contractor agree that such actual damages caused by Contractor’s failure to meet the Performance Deadlines would reasonably likely include, without limitation, the costs for additional construction management and other District representative/employee time; the costs for third-party consultants’ time; inefficiency and inconvenience damages to District’s business operations; damages to District’s reputation with third-parties (including governmental entities with regulatory jurisdiction over District), as well as other potential actual damages to District reasonably associated with the subject matter of this Agreement.

Contractor acknowledges that the liquidated damages established herein are a reasonable pre-estimate of the detriment District will suffer in the event Contractor fails to perform the work and complete the Project by the Performance Deadlines and, after a full discussion of the implications of this section, further acknowledges that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate precisely the damages that District might suffer by reason of Contractor’s failure to perform the work and complete the Project by the Performance Deadlines. The liquidated damages established herein are intended to be and are cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy enforceable at law under this Agreement. Liquidated damages do not include any sums of money to reimburse

District for extra costs which District may become obligated to pay on other contracts, which are delayed or extended because of Contractor’s failure to perform the work and complete the Project by the Performance Deadlines. Should District incur such other additional costs because of delays or extensions to other contracts resulting from

Contractor’s unexcused failure or delay in performance, District will assess any such extra costs against Contractor in addition to the liquidated damages provided for herein.

c. No extension of time to complete performance shall be granted under normal circumstances. Extensions of time to complete performance may be authorized by District in its sole discretion for any actual period of delay on an occurrence basis for: (i) adverse weather or climatic conditions not reasonably anticipated; (ii) major labor disputes; (iii) acts of God; (iv) detrimental acts of District;

(v) acts of another contractor in the performance of related work under a separate contract with District; (vi) delays resulting from the intervention of governmental agencies in the performance of work on the Project, if not caused by Contractor or its subcontractors; or

(vii) other extraordinary circumstances beyond Contractor’s reasonable control.

{00290488.DOCX / 4} 5

Foreseeable weather delays and delays or failures in delivery of equipment or materials shall not constitute cause for an extension of time to complete performance or for an adjustment to the Contract Price. Any request for an extension of time to complete performance shall be submitted in writing to Project Manager for District’s approval within ten (10) days after such occurrence and shall be accompanied and supported by a schedule analysis based on the critical path method, which shows how and where the delay occurred on the then-critical path and its effect on any milestone date or the date of

Substantial Completion. The decision of District shall be conclusive and binding upon

Contractor.

Section 8. Default. District may give written notice of grounds for default to

Contractor at any time if: (i) Contractor fails to perform in an adequate or specified manner or proceeds in willful violation of the Contract Documents or terms of this

Agreement, as determined by Project Manager or District; (ii) Project Manager advises

District that performance of work on the Project is being delayed unnecessarily or that

Contractor is executing its responsibilities in bad faith or contrary to the intent of this

Agreement; (iii) performance is not fully completed within the period of time specified for completion under Section 7; (iv) work to be performed by Contractor is assigned without District’s consent; (v) Contractor is insolvent or files for bankruptcy;

(vi) Contractor makes a general assignment of assets for the benefit of creditors; (vii) a receiver is appointed for Contractor; or (viii) other serious and reasonable cause exists which jeopardizes completion of the Project. If Contractor does not remedy or otherwise correct the grounds for default within such period of time as specified by District, District may terminate this Agreement and direct Contractor to discontinue any further work on the Project, and Contractor shall immediately stop all work on the Project and forfeit all rights under this Agreement. District, in its discretion, may complete the Project, or may request the surety of Contractor to complete the Project, or may contract with others to complete the Project at the expense of Contractor and its surety. Any increase in costs over the Contract Price and any special damages incurred by District as a consequence of such default, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be paid and satisfied in full by

Contractor and its surety.

Section 9. Termination. At any time District may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy hereunder, elect to terminate this Agreement. In such event, District shall give written notice of Project termination to Contractor at least five (5) days in advance of the Project termination date. Such notice may include specific instructions as to work to be completed and other winding-up matters. In the absence of any contrary instructions, Contractor shall place no further orders or subcontracts, shall terminate all orders and subcontracts to the extent they relate to terminated work, and shall stop work on the date and in accordance with directions specified in the notice.

Contractor shall cooperate with District to transfer all of Contractor’s rights and interests in any orders, subcontracts or work as directed by District. District shall pay Contractor for the performance of all work through the Project termination date and for such

{00290488.DOCX / 4} 6

additional amounts as, in the opinion of Project Manager, are reasonable to compensate

Contractor for the termination of this Agreement. Final payment to Contractor shall be made in accordance with Section 5.

Section 10. Taxes, Licenses, Permits, and Regulations. In all operations connected with the Project, Contractor shall pay all fees, charges and taxes imposed by law, except for sales and use taxes from which District or the Project are exempt, and shall obtain all licenses and permits necessary for completion of the Project, including payment of all fees, unless otherwise specified by the Contract Documents or Project

Manager. Contractor shall comply with all laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations of all governmental…
