4. Draper City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, or to waive any formality or technicality in any proposal, in the best interests of the City.

The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of a claim of delay due to inclement weather within one (1) week of the days claimed as delayed.

Time is of the essence of this agreement.

3.3 Punch List Time

B. Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the Work or any part of the Work after the time fixed for its completion, or after the date to which the time for completion may have been extended, whether or not a new completion date is established, shall in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the Owner of any of Owner's rights under this Agreement.

3.4 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

A. Late Completion: Time is of the essence of the Contract Documents.

Contractor agrees that Owner will suffer damage or financial loss if the Work is not completed on time or within any time extensions allowed in accordance with Section 5.06 of the General Conditions. Contractor and Owner agree that proof of the exact amount of any such damage or loss is difficult to determine.

Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof of damage or specific financial loss for late completion, Contractor agrees to pay the following sums to the Owner as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

1. Late Contract Time Completion: One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) for each day or part thereof that expires after the Contract Time until the Work is accepted as substantially complete as provided in Section 5.03 of the General Conditions, which the parties believe is a fair estimate of the loss the City will suffer due to the difficulty of actually assessing the damages the City will suffer in the event of such a delay, and which the parties agree is not a penalty.

2. Late Punch List Time Completion: One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) for each day or part thereof if the Work remains incomplete after thirty (30) days following the time the punch list is delivered to the Contractor, provided that no such damages shall be collected until after the Contract Completion Date. The parties agree that this is not a penalty. The Punch List shall be considered delivered on the date it is transmitted by email, hand delivery or received by the Contractor by certified mail.

B. Work Sequence Completion: Time is of the essence of sequenced work.

If a work sequence is specified, then for each day or part thereof that exceeds the specified time and until Engineer determines such work sequence is Substantially Complete, the Contractor agrees to pay the following sums per day to the OWNER as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

C. Survey Monuments: No land survey monument shall be disturbed or moved until Engineer has been properly notified and the Engineer's surveyor has referenced the survey monument for resetting. The parties agree that upon such an unauthorized disturbance it is difficult to determine the damages from such a disturbance, and the parties agree that Contractor will pay as liquidated damages the sum of $1,000 to cover such damage and expense. Only the

Engineer’s licensed surveyor shall reset the monument, and at the Contractor’s sole cost.

D. Interruption of Public Services: No interruption of public utility services or damage to public service facilities, defined herein as an interruption to City potable water supply, street lighting, storm water or irrigation systems, herein called Public Service Facilities, shall be caused by Contractor, its agents or employees, without the Engineer's prior approval. Owner and Contractor agree that in the event Owner suffers damages from such interruption, the amount of liquidated damages stipulated above shall not be deemed to be a limitation upon Owner's right to recover the full amount of such damages. Contractor shall immediately notify the owner of the public utility if Contractor, or any subcontractor or other agent or employee of Contractor interrupts or damages Public Service Facilities. In addition, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer of any such interruption, and in the case of an interruption to Public Service Facilities or services, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Public Works Department by the fastest means possible. The Public Works Departments telephone number is 576-6517; the City’s emergency dispatch number is 831- 4000. The City ENGINEERING or Public Utilities Departments may sometimes also be reached by dialing 911. Contractor shall pay within 30 days of receiving a written statement for any charges for repairs or damages arising out of the damage to or interruption of Public Service Utilities or services.

3.5 PAYMENT PROCEDURES

A. Progress Payments. Contractor shall submit applications for payment, but not more often than once every 30 days. Payment shall not become due or payable for any contract item not provided or installed by Contractor according to the Contract Documents, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. At no time shall the aggregate amount of money paid to the Contractor in proportion to the Contract Amount be greater than the proportion of the work performed at that point to the total Project work.

1. Withholding Payment. Owner reserves the right to withhold payment from Contractor for non-compliance with any provision of the Contract Documents.

B. Final Payment.

1. Submittal. Final payment shall not be made until the Contractor has delivered and Engineer has accepted the following submittals:

a. A written request for final payment, signed by the Contractor’s Representative,

b. An affidavit from the Contractor’s Representative, and reasonable evidence that all payments due and owing to subcontractors , laborers, suppliers of equipment and Materials, and all other outstanding indebtedness of the Contractor related to the Project have been fully paid, discharged, or waived by the person owed the money;

c. All Project Material inspection and testing reports,

d. Evidence that the performance bond has been extended for the one year warranty period; and

e. Waiver of Lien, Full and Final Release form.

2. Evidence of Payment. The Engineer may, at his sole option, accept evidence by the Contractor that arrangements have been made for such payments based thereon.

3. Payment to Subcontractors, Suppliers. If the City reasonably believes that Contractor has failed to pay Subcontractors, suppliers of Materials, or laborers for work on the Project within a reasonable time of when payment is due, then City may, at its discretion, either pay unpaid bills and withhold from the Contractor's payment, or make a claim against any bond for this Project in the amount of the Engineer’s estimate of the amount of money he deems sufficient to pay any such lawful claim. The City shall notify the Contractor of any such payment.

4. Price Adjustments: City may, in its discretion, make partial payment to the Contractor for certain non-conforming work in advance of any negotiated settlement reached between the Contractor and the City, provided the Contractor requests in writing that this be done, and the Engineer approves it. Contractor agrees that any such payments made by the City are "payments in advance" and that any money which becomes due when the final settlement is negotiated will not constitute payments "withheld" or "retained" under State law.

5. City Released From Claims: The payment and acceptance of the final Contract Price due and the adjustment and payment for any Work done in accordance with any alterations of the same, shall release the City from any and all claims of Contractor on account of Work performed under the Contract Documents or any Change Order thereof, except for those claims specifically agreed to as reserved and unresolved by the City.

3.6 Extra Work. No money will be paid to the Contractor for any additions, deletions or revisions in the Work as stipulated in the General Conditions, unless a contract for such has been made in writing and executed by the City and Contractor.

3.7 Bond Releases. In addition to those remedies allowed the City under Subsection 3.5(B)(3) above, the City may withhold release of a reasonable amount of the payment bond sufficient to cover any outstanding indebtedness or monies owed or claimed by any person who supplied work or materials to the Project, or any uncorrected substandard work, until Contractor supplies a release of the City satisfactory to it signed by all persons who have supplied labor or materials to the Project. The Contractor shall supply to the Engineer within a reasonable time after his request a signed statement verifying all the suppliers, subcontractors and other persons who have supplied labor or materials to the Project.

3.8 Change Orders. Any change order which increases the total contract amount must be approved by a written certification by the ENGINEER.
