Owner will make copies of such reports available to any Bidder requesting them.
These reports are not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness, nor are they part of the Contract Documents.

3.03 On request, Owner will provide each Bidder access to the site to conduct such investigations and tests as each Bidder deems necessary for submission of his Bid. Bidder shall fill all holes and cleanup and restore the site to its former condition upon completion of such explorations, investigations tests and studies.

Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal effect.

Such list shall be accompanied by an experience statement with pertinent information as to similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each such Subcontractor, person and organization if requested by Owner. 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 such substitution, the contract shall not be awarded to such Bidder, but his declining to make any such substitution will not constitute grounds for sacrificing his Bid Security. Any Subcontractor, other person or organization so listed and to whom Owner and Engineer do not make written objection prior to giving of the Notice of Award, will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Engineer.

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is dated as of the ____ day of ___________, in the year 20___, by and between City of York (hereinafter called OWNER) and _____________________ (hereinafter called CONTRACTOR). OWNER and CONTRACTOR, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, agree as follows:
Article 1. WORK
CONTRACTOR shall complete all Work as specified or indicated in the Contract Documents.
The Work is generally described as follows:
Bridge 358 Superstructure Replacement
Article 2. ENGINEER
The Project has been designed by C.S. Davidson, Inc., who is hereinafter called ENGINEER and who will assume all duties and responsibilities, and will have the rights and authority assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents in connection with completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Article 3. CONTRACT TIME
3.1 The Work will be substantially completed within one hundred thirty-five (135) calendar days after the date when the Contract Time commences to run as provided in Paragraph 2.03 of the General Conditions.
3.2 Liquidated Damages. OWNER and CONTRACTOR recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement and that OWNER will suffer financial loss if the Work is not substantially completed within the time specified in Paragraph 3.1, above, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with Article 12 of the General Conditions. They also recognize the delays, expenses and difficulties involved in proving, in a legal or arbitration proceeding, the actual loss suffered by OWNER if the Work is not substantially completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty), CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each day that expires after the time specified in Paragraph 3.1 for substantial completion until the Work is substantially completed.
Article 4. CONTRACT PRICE
4.1 OWNER shall pay CONTRACTOR for performance of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents in current funds on the basis of the lump sum and/or unit prices for the item or items set forth in the Bid attached hereto, incorporated herein and made a part hereof. The number of units contained in this bid is approximate only, and the final payment shall be made for the actual number of units that are incorporated in, or made necessary by, the work covered by the Agreement.
Article 5. PAYMENT PROCEDURES
CONTRACTOR shall submit Applications for Payment in accordance with Article 14 of the General Conditions. Applications for Payment will be processed by ENGINEER as provided in the General Conditions.
5.1 Progress Payments. OWNER shall make progress payments on account of the Contract Price on the basis of CONTRACTOR's Application for Payment, as recommended by ENGINEER, monthly during construction as provided below. All progress payments will be on the basis of the progress of the Work measured by the schedule of values provided for in Paragraph 14.01 of the General Conditions.

5.1.1 Prior to fifty percent (50%) completion of the project (as computed on the basis of the Contract Price), progress payments will be in an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the work completed and seventy percent (70%) of materials and equipment. After the project is fifty percent (50%) complete, but prior to Substantial Completion, progress payment will be in an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Work completed and seventy percent (70%) of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored, less in each case the aggregate of payments previously made.
5.1.2 Upon Substantial Completion, OWNER shall pay an amount sufficient to increase total payments to CONTRACTOR to one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price, less only one and one-half (1 ½) times such amount as is required to complete any then remaining uncompleted minor items.
5.2 Final Payment. Upon final completion and acceptance of the Work in accordance with Paragraph 14.07 of the General Conditions, OWNER shall pay the remainder of the Contract Price as recommended by ENGINEER as provided in said Paragraph 14.07.
Article 6. INTEREST
All moneys not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law at the place of the Project.

7.4 CONTRACTOR has correlated the results of all such observations, examinations, investigations, tests, reports and data with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.
7.5 CONTRACTOR has given ENGINEER written notice of all conflicts, errors or discrepancies that he has discovered in the Contract Documents and the written resolution thereof by ENGINEER is acceptable to CONTRACTOR.
