Payment for extra work will be made in accordance with the Changes in Work, Contract Amount, and Contract Time sections below.

CHANGES IN THE WORK

Without invalidating the Contract, the City may, at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions in the work authorized by written Change Orders or directives. Upon receipt of a Change Order, the Contractor will proceed with the work involved. All such work shall be executed under the applicable conditions of the Contract documents. If any Change Order causes an increase or decrease in the Contract Amount or any extension or shortening of the Contract Time, an equitable adjustment will be made.

Additional Work performed by the Contractor without authorization of a Change Order will not entitle them to an increase in the Contract Amount or any extension of the Contract Time, except in the case of an emergency (subject to approval by City Manager or designee).

It is the Contractor's responsibility to notify their Surety of any changes affecting the general scope of the Work or change of the Contract Amount and the amount of the applicable bonds shall be adjusted accordingly, and an amended bond document furnished to the City. In the event the City directs the Contractor to make a change in the Work, and if the City and the Contractor do not arrive at a mutually acceptable increase or decrease in the Contract Amount, the contractor shall not use any such lack of mutual acceptance as a basis or cause to stop or otherwise delay the progress or the execution and completion of any of the work ordered, directed or required pursuant to the Contract Documents.

If the Contractor believes an event or situation has occurred which justifies a change in the Contract Amount or Contract Time, he shall deliver a written notice to the City Manager or designee. Each such written notice shall be delivered promptly and no later than fifteen (15) business days after the Contractor first discovered the occurrence. The Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the right to collect any and all costs incurred more than fifteen (15) business days prior to the date of delivery of the written notice and shall be deemed to have waived the right to seek an extension of the Contract Time with respect to any delay in the Progress Schedule which accrued more than fifteen (15) business days prior to the date of delivery of the written notice.

Any such notice shall include sufficient detail to explain the basis of entitlement to a claim for an adjustment to the Contract Amount of Contract Time. When requested by the City Manager or designee, the Contractor shall furnish any additional information and details as may be required to determine the facts or allegations involved, which shall be provided within fifteen (15) business days of the request unless a longer time period is allowed by the City Manager or designee.

The Contractor shall prepare bids detailing proposed adjustments to Contract Amount and/or Contract Time and submit them to the City Manager or designee within fifteen (15) business days of the City’s issuance of a proposed Change Order or the Contractor’s submitting a written notice of a change or claim for an adjustment to the Contract Amount or Contract Time. Contractor’s bids shall be irrevocable for a period of at least sixty (60) business days after receipt by the City. Any delay in the submittal of a complete, adequate and acceptable bid will not justify an increase in Contract Amount or Contract Time. Contractor agrees that it shall give the City access to any and all of Contractor’s and Subcontractors’ books, records and other materials relating to proposed Change Orders and other claims for adjustment to Contract Amount or Contract Time.

CHANGE OF CONTRACT AMOUNT

The Contract Amount constitutes the total compensation payable to the Contractor for performing the Work.

All duties, responsibilities and obligations assigned to or undertaken by the Contractor shall be at his expense without change in the Contract Amount. The Contract Amount may only be changed by written Change Order issued by the City. Any claim for an increase in the Contract Amount shall be in writing and delivered to the City Manager or designee within fifteen (15) business days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim.

All claims for adjustment in the Contract Amount shall be determined by the City Manager or designee.

However, no claim for an adjustment to the Contract Amount will be considered for unforeseeable causes that were beyond the fault or negligence of the Contractor or his Subcontractors or supplier such as acts of God, floods, riots, etc. This restriction does not restrict submission of claims for additional Contract Time due to events of this nature. Any change in the Contract Amount shall be incorporated in a Change Order.

Contractor bids or claims shall cover all aspects of the Work involved and shall be fully documented and itemized as to all costs, quantities and charges for overhead and profit. Amounts for Subcontractors or Suppliers at any tier shall be similarly supported. When determining Subcontractors’ costs, the methods to be used shall be those used for the Contractor’s costs, except that the term “Subcontractor” shall replace the term “Contractor,” context permitting.

Changes in Contract Amount for extensions in Contract Time shall exclude costs that are unaffected or do not relate to the extension in Contract Time, such as: (a) operating costs of construction equipment assigned to the Work on a continuing basis, (b) operating costs and owned/rental costs of construction equipment (crane used for specific lifts, concrete pump used for specific pours, etc.), and (c) fully paid site facilities, tools, etc.

The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract Amount where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents shall be determined by application of unit prices to the quantities of the items involved. If the quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order, that application of the Unit Prices to the quantities proposed will cause substantial inequity to the City or the Contractor, the applicable unit price(s) shall be equitably adjusted by mutual agreement.

If the value of work covered by a Change Order cannot be established or mutually agreed to utilizing previously established unit rates, the value shall be determined by the City on the basis of an estimate of the out-of-pocket cost and percentages that are acceptable to the City for overhead and profit. The out-of-pocket cost shall only include those direct costs which are needed to perform the work such as labor (including payroll taxes, fringe benefits, labor burden and workers’ insurance), materials, equipment, and other incidental out-of-pocket construction costs directly involved in the work, including but not limited to small tools, expendables and material costs but shall not include project management or project supervisory costs unless the Change Order includes an increase in the Contract time.

In such case, the Contractor will submit in the form prescribed by the City an itemized cost breakdown together with supporting data.

The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the City for any such change which results in a net decrease in cost, will be the amount of the actual net decrease as determined by the City. When both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the combined overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any.

To be eligible for consideration, the Contractor’s written claim for a change in the Contract price, including claim(s) from sub-contractors, shall include an itemized cost breakdown with supporting data as described below:

A. For labor: Provide written documentation from the Contractor and Subcontractors or others as appropriate in the form of a detailed breakdown by each labor classification involved indicating the number of hours of Work involved and the hourly payroll rate applicable to each to substantiate the basis and amount of the direct labor cost. The direct labor cost may be increased to provide an allowance for indirect payroll costs (labor burden), such as payroll taxes, fringe benefits, and workers insurance after all premium discounts, rebates and other appropriate reductions have been taken.

B. For material, supplies, equipment, furnishings, etc., to be installed or included in the Work: Provide written documentation from the Contractor and Subcontractors, suppliers, etc., to substantiate the basis and amount of the various cost items involved. Material costs shall reflect the Contractor’s reasonably anticipated net actual cost after consideration of trade discounts and volume rebates.

C. For construction equipment: Provide written documentation in the form of a detailed breakdown by each construction equipment category, indicating the applicable unit rates (i.e., dollar amount per hour, dollar amount per day etc.,) and the number of hours, days, etc. to substantiate the basis and amount of the construction equipment out-of-pocket costs.

CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME

The Contract Time may only be changed by written Change Order. Any claim for an extension in the Contract Time shall be in writing and include an analysis of the Progress Schedule as further described in the Specifications and shall be delivered to the City Manager or designee within fifteen (15) business days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Time shall be determined by the City Manager or designee. Any change in the Contract Time resulting from any such claim shall be incorporated in a Change Order. The Contract Time may be extended for an amount equal to time lost due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control of the Contractor (and his Subcontractors and Suppliers) if he makes a claim therefrom. Such delays shall include, but not be restricted to, acts or neglect by any separate Contractor employed by the City; fires; floods; labor disputes; epidemics; or acts of God.

All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence to the Contract. The stated time limits are agreed to be adequate to complete the work, including the procurement, manufacture and delivery of all material and equipment required, and account for any and all potential impact, delays, disruptions and costs that may be expected.

CITY’S RIGHT TO DIRECT PURCHASE

The City has reserved the right to purchase certain items and materials for this project directly in an effort to save applicable sales tax in compliance with Florida Law.

The City will issue purchase orders directly to the vendors supplying the equipment being directly purchased by the City for this project. Each Purchase Order will be accompanied by the City's Certificate of Exemption and a Certificate of Entitlement. All direct purchase vendor invoices will be issued to the City of St. Pete Beach, and the City will issue payment to each direct purchase vendor from City funds. The City will take title to the equipment at time of delivery from the vendor and will issue a separate Certificate of Entitlement for each purchase order.

The Contractor shall assist the City with receipt of materials furnished by the City in accordance with these Special Provisions including, but not limited to, verifying correct quantities, verifying documents of orders in a timely manner, providing and obtaining all warranties and guarantees required by the Contract Documents, assist with inspection of the goods at the time of delivery and notify the City immediately of any deficiencies noted. It is understood that the owner assumes the risk of damage or loss during the time that the building materials are physically stored at the job site prior to their installation or incorporation into the project. The Contractor shall coordinate with the City regarding the delivery schedules, sequence of delivery, loading orientation, and other arrangements normally required by the Contractor for the particular material furnished.

As City Furnished Materials are delivered to the job site and accepted by the City, the City shall notify the Contractor who will assist the City to visually inspect all shipments from the suppliers. The City will approve the vendor's invoice for material delivered upon adequate inspection and recommendation of the Contractor. The City shall assure that each delivery of City Furnished Materials is accompanied by documentation adequate to identify the Purchase Order against which the purchase is made and Contract Documents including but not limited to Contract, Plans, Specifications, and approved Shop Drawings. This documentation may consist of a delivery ticket, bill of lading and an invoice from the supplier conforming to the Purchase Order together with such additional information as the City may deem necessary.

PAYMENTS FOR WORK COMPLETED

Partial payments will be made as the work progresses (if applicable) at the end of each calendar month, or as soon thereafter as practicable on estimates made by the City Manager or designee and as approved by the City, provided that the Contractor is performing the overall job in a diligent manner. In making partial payments, there shall be retained five percent (5%) on the amount of each estimate until final completion and acceptance of all work covered by the Contract. Upon completion and acceptance of the work, the City Manager or designee shall issue a certificate that the work has been completed and accepted by them under the conditions of the Contract and shall make and approve the final estimate of the work. The entire balance found to be due the Contractor, including that retained by the City, should be paid to the Contractor.

Such payment shall be conditioned, however, upon the submission by the Contractor of evidence satisfactory to the City that all claims for labor, material, and any other outstanding indebtedness in connection with the Contract have been paid. Such payment shall also be conditioned upon approval and acceptance of the construction and improvements by the City.

If after the work has been substantially completed, full completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor and the City Manager or designee so certifies, the City shall upon the Certificate of the City Manager or designee, and without terminating the Contract make payment for the balance due for that portion of the work fully completed and accepted. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claim. If such delay occurs and payment is made under this clause, the Contractor shall nevertheless be prepared to complete the work in a timely manner upon the remedy or removal of such delay, and shall be bound under this Contract for the completion of such work unless this Contract is otherwise terminated. All payments will be made in accordance with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act, Chapter 218, Florida Statutes.

PAYMENTS WITHHELD

The City Manager or designee may withhold, or, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or part of any estimate to such extent as may be necessary to protect the City from loss on account of:

a) Defective work not remedied

b) Claims and/or liens filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims

c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for material or labor

d) A reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed for the balance then unpaid

e) Damage to another Contractor

f) Failure of the Contractor to keep their work progressing in accordance with their time schedule

FINAL PAYMENTS

Upon the completion and acceptance of the work, the City Manager or designee shall issue a certificate that designates that the whole work provided for in this Contract has been completed and accepted by him under the conditions and the terms thereof and shall make the final estimate of the work. After issuance of the certificate, the entire balance found to be due the Contractor, including said retained percentage by the City in accordance with existing state laws as may be retained lawfully by said City, shall pay excepting such sums to the Contractor.

Before the approval of the final payment, the Contractor shall submit evidence satisfactory to the City that states that all payrolls, materials, bills and outstanding indebtedness in connection with this Contract have been paid.

LIENS

If at any time there shall be evidence of any lien or claim for which the City might become liable and which is chargeable to the Contractor, the City shall have the right to retain out of any payment then due or thereafter to become due, an amount sufficient for complete indemnification against such lien or claim. In the event the City has already paid to the Contractor all sums due under this contract or the balance remaining unpaid is insufficient to protect the City, the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to the City for any loss so sustained.
