Contract Documents; and (e) notify Architect of all conflicts, errors or discrepancies in the

4.2 The submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by Bidder that it has complied with every requirement of this Article 4; that without exception, the Bid is premised upon performing and furnishing the Work required by the Contract Documents and such means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction as may be indicated in or required by the Contract Documents; and that the Contract Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all terms and conditions for performance and furnishing of the Work.

Bidder, and the right to disregard all nonconforming, nonresponsive, or conditional Bids. Also, Owner reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder if Owner believes that it would not be in the best interest of the Project to make an award to that Bidder, whether because the Bid is not responsive, Bidder is unqualified, of doubtful financial ability, or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by Owner.

Bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications, and financial ability of the Bidders, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations to perform and furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to Owner's satisfaction within the prescribed time.

15.6 If the Contract is to be awarded, Owner will give the Successful Bidder Notice of Award within sixty (60) days after the day of the Bid opening.

00 2113/7

Contractor.

16. Contract Security

16.1 The General Conditions (Articles 11.1.2 and 11.1.3) and the Supplementary Conditions (SC-11) set forth Owner's requirements as to Performance and other Bonds. When the Successful

Bidder delivers the executed Agreement to Owner, it shall be accompanied by the required

Contract Security.

17. Signing of Agreement

17.1 When Owner gives a Notice of Award to the Successful Bidder, it will be accompanied by at least three (3) unsigned counterparts of the Agreement and all other Contract Documents.

00 2113/8

18. Sales and Use Taxes

18.1 Applicable State Sales and Use Taxes on materials and equipment to be incorporated in the

Work shall be included in the Contract price.

19. Retainage

19.1 In accordance with Code of Virginia, § 2.2-4333, a sum equal to five percent (5%) of the

Contractor's pay requests shall be held as retainage throughout the entire project until final acceptance by the Owner.

20. Liquidated Damages

20.1 Owner and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence with regard to this Agreement and that the Owner will suffer financial loss and inconvenience if Work is not completed within the designated time. They also recognize the delays, expense and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by Owner if the Work is not completed on time.

Accordingly, instead of requiring any proof, Owner and Contractor agree that the Contractor shall pay the Owner liquidated damages as outlined in the Bid Form for each calendar day that expires after the time specified for project completion.

21.1 In accordance with Code of Virginia, § 2.2-4311, during the performance of this Contract, the

Contractor agrees as follows:

A. The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, sex or national origin, age, disability, or other basis prohibited by state law relating to discrimination in employment, except where there is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the

Contractor. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

B. The Contractor, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, will state that such Contractor is an equal opportunity employer.

C. Notices, advertisements and solicitations placed in accordance with federal law, rule or regulation shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose of meeting the requirements of this section.

21.2 The Contractor will include the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs A., B., and C., in every subcontract or purchase order of over $10,000, so that the provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor.

00 2113/9
