However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government’s rights under any warranty or guarantee.

33330224RF0010021 Revitalize Historic Core, Early Package 2-26 project 10/107

b) Neither the Smithsonian Institution's reviews, approval, or acceptance of services and/or supplies, nor payment for any of the services or supplies required under this contract shall be construed to operate as a waiver of action arising out of the performance of this contract.

F - Deliveries or Performance

52.211-S5022 Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work (Jun 2010)

(a) Definitions.

1) The Contract Time is the period of time allotted in the Contract Documents for Final Completion of the Work as defined in this Construction Contract Clause, including authorized extensions thereto. The Contractor shall complete his Work within the Contract Time as stated in the SF 1442, or as modified.

2) The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in the Notice To Proceed issued by the C.O. Submission by the Contractor of its Performance and Payment Bonds, Preliminary Schedule and all Certificates of Insurance and their approval by the S.I. are conditions precedent to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed.

The Contractor shall not commence the Work or store materials or equipment on site until written Notice to Proceed is issued or until the Contractor otherwise receives the written consent of the C.O.

3) The date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof is the date certified by the COTR when the Work or a designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the Contract Documents, so the S.I. can fully occupy the Work or designated portion thereof for the use for which it is intended, with all of the Project's parts and systems operable as required by the Contract Documents. Only punch list work and any final cleaning beyond that needed for the S.I.'s full use may remain for Final Completion.

4) The date of Final Completion of the Work is the date certified by the COTR when the Work is totally complete, to include punch list work and final clean up, in accordance with the Contract Documents and the S.I. may fully occupy and fully utilize the Work for the use for which it is intended.

5) If a date or time of completion is included in the Contract, it shall be the Date of Final Completion as defined in this Construction Contract Clause, including authorized extensions thereto, unless otherwise provided.

6) The term Day as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically designated. All dates shall mean midnight of the indicated day

33330224RF0010021 Revitalize Historic Core, Early Package 2-26 project 11/107 unless otherwise stipulated.

(b) Progress and Completion.

1) All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract.

2) The Contractor shall prosecute the Work diligently to Final Completion.

(c) Delays and Extensions of Time.

1) The time during which the Contractor is delayed in the performance of the Work, by the acts or omissions of the S.I., the Architect, or their employees or agents, acts of God, unusually severe and abnormal climatic conditions, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, riots, civil commotion or freight embargoes, or other conditions beyond the Contractor's control and which the Contractor could not reasonably have foreseen and provided against, shall be added to the Contract Time;

provided, however, that no claim by the Contractor for an extension of time for delays will be considered unless made in compliance with the requirements of this Article and other provisions of the Contract Documents.

2) Neither the S.I., nor the Architect shall be obligated or liable to the Contractor for, and the Contractor hereby expressly waives any claims against the S.I. and the Architect on account of any indirect or direct damages, costs or expenses of any nature which the Contractor, Subcontractors, of Suppliers or any other person may incur as a result of any delays, interference, changes in sequence or the like, which are reasonable, foreseeable, contemplated, or avoidable by the Contractor, arising from or out of any act or omission of the S.I. of the Architect, or their agents, employees, consultants, separate contractors or any governmental representative, it being understood and agreed that the Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy in any such events shall be an extension of the Contract Time, but only as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents.

3) The Contract Time shall be adjusted only for Change Orders pursuant to the Construction Contract Clause entitled "Changes", excusable delays pursuant to Construction Contract Clause entitled "Delays and Extensions of Time" and Construction Contract Clause entitled "Smithsonian Institution's Right to Stop or to Suspend the Work". In the event the Contractor requests an extension of the Contract Time, he shall furnish such justification and supporting evidence as the C.O. may deem necessary for a determination of whether the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of the Contract. The burden of proof to substantiate a claim for an extension of the Contract Time shall rest with the Contractor, including evidence that the cause was beyond his control. The C.O. shall base his findings of fact and decision on such justification and supporting evidence and shall advise the Contractor in writing thereof. If the C.O. finds that the Contractor is entitled to any extension of the Contract Time, the C.O.'s determination of the total number of days' extension shall be based upon the currently approved Progress Schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data will be incorporated into the Progress Schedule in the form of a revision thereto, accomplished in a timely manner. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that actual delays (due to said changes, suspensions of work or excusable delays) in activities which, according to the Progress Schedule, do not affect the Contract Time, do not have any effect upon the Contract Time and therefore will not be the basis for a change therein. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that time extensions will be granted only to the extent that excusable delays exceed the available float in the Contractor's Progress Schedule.

4) Subject to other provisions of the Contract, the Contractor may be entitled to an extension of the Contract Time (but no increase in the Contract Price) for delays arising from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, his Subcontractors or Suppliers as follows:

i. Labor disputes and strikes (including strikes affecting transportation), that do, in fact, directly and critically affect the progress of the Work; however, an extension of Contract time on account of an individual labor strike shall not exceed the number of days of said strike;

33330224RF0010021 Revitalize Historic Core, Early Package 2-26 project 12/107

ii. Acts of God, tornado, fire, hurricane, blizzard, earthquake, typhoon, or flood that damage completed work or stored materials.

iii. Abnormal inclement weather; however, the Contract Time will not be extended due to normal inclement weather. The time for performance of this Contract, as stated in the Contract Documents, includes an allowance for calendar days, which may not be available for construction out-of-doors; for the purposes of the Contract, the Contractor agrees that said number of calendar days per month are to be considered as normal inclement weather. Unless the Contractor can substantiate to the satisfaction of the S.I. that there was greater than normal inclement weather considering the full term of the Contract Time using a ten year average of accumulated record mean values from climatological data compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the locale of the Project and that such alleged greater than normal inclement weather actually delayed the Work or portions thereof which had an effect upon the Contract Time, the Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of time. If the total accumulated number of calendar days lost due to inclement weather, from the start of Work until Final Completion, exceeds the total accumulated number to be expected for the same period from the aforesaid climatological data, time for completion will be extended by the number of calendar days needed to include the excess number of calendar days lost.

iv. Acts of the public enemy, acts of the state, Federal or local government in its sovereign capacity, and acts of a separate contractor in the performance of its contract with the S.I. relating to the Project.

5) The Contractor shall not be entitled to and hereby expressly waives any extension of time resulting from any conditions or cause unless said claim for extensions of time is made in writing to the C.O. within seven (7) days of the first instance of delay.

Circumstances and activities leading to such claim shall be indicated or referenced in a daily field inspection report for the day(s) affected; otherwise, all such claims are waived by the Contractor. In every such written claim, the Contractor shall provide the following information:

i. Nature of the delay.

ii. Date (or anticipated date) of commencement of delay;

iii. Activities on the Progress Schedule affected by the delay, and/or new activities created by the delay and their relationship with existing activities;

iv. Identification of person(s) or organizations(s) or event(s) responsible for the delay;

v. Anticipated extent of the delay;

vi. Recommended action to avoid or minimize the delay.

(d) Responsibility for Completion.

1) The Contractor shall furnish such manpower, materials, facilities and equipment and shall work such hours, including night shifts, overtime operations and Sundays and holidays, as may be necessary to insure the progress and completion of the Work in accordance with the approved and currently updated Progress Schedule. If Work actually in place falls behind the currently updated and approved Progress Schedule and it becomes apparent from the current Progress Schedule that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time, the Contractor agrees that he will, as necessary, take some or all of the following actions at no additional cost to the S.I., as required to eliminate substantially the backlog of the Work:

i. Increase manpower in quantities and crafts necessary

ii. Increase the number of work hours per shift, shifts per working day, working days per week, the amount of equipment, or any combination of the foregoing; and/or

iii. Re-schedule activities to achieve maximum practical concurrence.

2) The COTR may require the Contractor to submit a Recovery Schedule in accordance with the Supplementary Construction Contract Clause, demonstrating his program and proposed plan to make up the lag in scheduled progress and to ensure completion of the Work within the Contract Time. If the COTR finds the proposed plan not acceptable, he

33330224RF0010021 Revitalize Historic Core, Early Package 2-26 project 13/107 may require the Contractor to submit a new plan. If the actions taken by the Contractor or the second plan proposed are not satisfactory, the COTR may require the contractor to take any of the actions set forth in this Construction Contract Clause without additional costs to the S.I., to make up the lag in scheduled progress.

3) Failure of the Contractor to comply substantially with the requirements of this Construction Contract Clause may be considered grounds for a determination by the S.I., pursuant to the Construction Contract Clause entitled "Default", that the Contractor is failing to prosecute the Work with the sufficient diligence to ensure its completion with the Contract Time.

52.211-13 Time Extensions (Sept 2000) Time extensions for contract changes will depend upon the extent, if any, by which the changes cause delay in the completion of the various elements of construction. The change order granting the time extension may provide that the contract completion date will be extended only for those specific elements related to the changed work and that the remaining contract completion dates for all other portions of the work will not be altered.

52.228-S0081 Period of Performance-Bonds & Insurance-Construction (JAN 2023) Contractor must submit approved Certificate of Insurance and 100% Performance Bond and 100% Payment Bond within ten (10) days of contract award.

52.236-S0036 Smithsonian Institution's Right to Stop or to Suspend the Work (Jun 2000)

(a) If the Contractor fails to correct defective Work as required by the Construction Contract Clause entitled "Correction of Work", or fails to carry out the Work or supply labor and materials in accordance with the Contract Documents, the C.O. by a written order may order the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, without monetary compensation to the Contractor until the cause for such order has been eliminated.

(b) The Contracting Officer may order the Contractor, in writing, to suspend, delay, or interrupt all or any part of the Work for such period of time as he may determine to be appropriate for the convenience of the S.I.

(c) If the performance of all or any part of the Work is, for an unreasonable period of time, suspended, delayed, or interrupted by the S.I. or its authorized representatives in the administration of this Contract, or by failure of any one of them to act within the time specified in this Contract (or if no time is specified, within a reasonable time), an adjustment shall be made for an increase in the actual time required for performance of the Work by the Contractor, due solely to such unreasonable suspension, delay, or interruption and the Contract modified in writing accordingly. However, no claim for an extension of time shall be made under this Construction Contract Clause for any suspension, delay, or interruption pursuant to this Construction Contract Clause, or for which claim is provided or excluded under any other provision of this Contract. No claim under this Construction Contract Clause shall be allowed for any claim for an extension of time required for performance, unless within twenty (20) days after the act or failure to act involved, the Contractor submits to the COTR a written statement setting forth, as then practicable, the extent of such claimed time extension and unless the claim for an extension of time is asserted in writing as soon as practicable after the termination of such suspension, delay, or interruption. No claim shall be made for direct or indirect costs incurred by Contractor as a result of the events described in this Construction Contract Clause, a time extension being the Contractor's sole remedy.

(d) A claim under this clause shall not be allowed (1) for any costs incurred more than twenty

(20) days before the Contractor shall have notified the Contracting Officer in writing of the act or failure to act involved (but this requirement shall not apply as to a claim resulting from a suspension order), and (2) unless the claim, in an amount stated, is asserted in writing as soon as practicable after the termination of the suspension, delay, or interruption, but not later than the date of final payment under the contract.

(e) In the event of a suspension of work or delay or interruption of work, the Contractor will and will cause his subcontractors to protect carefully his, and their materials and work against damage or injury from the weather and maintain completed and uncompleted portions of the work as

33330224RF0010021 Revitalize Historic Core, Early Package 2-26 project 14/107 required by the Contract Documents. If, in the opinion of the COTR, any work or material shall have been damaged or injured by reason of failure on the part of the Contractor or any of his subcontractors to so protect same, such work and materials shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.

(f) No claim by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment under the Construction Contract Clause entitled "Equitable Adjustments", shall be allowed if asserted after Final Payment under this Contract.

The following individuals will be the Smithsonian points of contact during the performance of the contract.

52.202-S0060 Contracting Officer (January 2023) All contract administration will be effected by the Contracting Officer. Communications pertaining to contractual administrative matters will be addressed to the Contracting Officer.

(a) The Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR), or her authorized representative shall act for and on behalf of the Contracting Officer in the administration of any resultant contract with respect to:

1. Resolution of issues that may arise between the Contractor and the Smithsonian Institution in connection with such matters as acceptability of workmanship and other technical requirements;

2. Evaluation on an overall basis of the acceptability of workmanship and Contractor's compliance with technical requirements; and

3. The approval and acceptance of work performed under this contract.
