Should any such bill be left unpaid by the Contractor, the Owner will be empowered to pay such bills and the cost thereof deducted from any monies due or to become due the Contractor.

Whenever the proposed construction requires a sales, consumers use, or other similar tax, the contractor will pay for same.

8. PROVISIONS REQUIRED BY LAW

Each and every provision of law and clause required by law to be inserted in this Contract will be deemed to be inserted herein and the Contract will be read and enforced as though it were included herein; and, if through mistake or otherwise, any such provision is not inserted or is not correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party the Contract will forthwith be physically amended to make such insertion.

9. PROTECTION OF WORK AND PROPERTY

The Contractor will provide adequate protection against injury or loss arising in connection with this Contract for all their Work and the property of the Owner. They will make good any such damage, injury or loss, except such as may be due directly to errors in the drawings or specifications or caused by agents or employees of the Owner.

E-4 information given in the Contract Documents. The Contractor will make any corrections required by the Engineers, file with them two copies and furnish such other copies as may be needed. The Engineers' approval of such drawings or schedules will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for deviations from Drawings or Specifications, unless they have, in writing, called the Engineers' attention to such deviations at the time of submission, and secured their written approval, nor will it relieve them from responsibility for errors in shop drawings or schedules.

12. TERMINATION; DELAYS; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the Work with such diligence as will ensure its Completion within the time specified in these Contract Documents, or as modified as provided in these Contract Documents, the Owner, by written Notice to the Contractor, may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the Work. Upon such termination, the Owner may take over the Work and prosecute the same to Completion by Contract or otherwise, and the Contractor and their sureties will be liable to the Owner for additional cost incurred by the Owner for liquidated damages for any delay in the Completion of the Work as provided below. If the Contractor's right to proceed is so terminated, the Owner may take possession of and utilize, to complete the Work, any materials, tools, equipment and plants as may be on the site of the Work.

If the Work is not completed within the time stipulated, including any extensions of time for excusable delays as herein provided, the Contractor will pay to the Owner Liquidated Damages in the amount of $2,700.00 for each calendar day of delay, as set forth in the form of Agreement, and the Contractor and their sureties will be liable to the Owner for the amount thereof.

The right of the Contractor to proceed will not be terminated nor will the Contractor be charged with Liquidated Damages for any delays in the Completion of the Work due:

a) To any acts of the Government, including controls or restriction upon or requisitioning of materials, equipment, tools, or labor by reason of war, national defense, or any other national emergency;

b) To any acts of the Owner;

c) To causes not reasonably foreseeable by the parties to this Contract at the time of the execution of the contract which are beyond the control and without the fault of negligence of the Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of another Contractor in the performance of some other contract with the Owner, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine, restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and weather of unusual severity such as hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones and other extreme weather conditions; and

d) To any delay of any subcontractor occasioned by any of the causes specified in sub-paragraphs above.

Provided, however, that the Contractor promptly notified the Owner within ten (10) days in writing of the cause of the delay. Upon receipt of such notification, the Owner will ascertain the facts and the cause and extent of delay. If, upon the basis of the facts and the terms of this Contract, the delay is properly excusable, the Owner will extend the time of completing the Work for a period of time commensurate with the period of excusable delay; however, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional pay during or caused by the delay.

Should the Completion of the Work be delayed beyond the time herein specified for Completion for any reason…
