APPENDIX B SAMPLE CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), entered into effective the _____ day of ____________, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), by and between THE CITY OF CORTEZ, COLORADO, a Colorado home-rule municipality, hereinafter referred to as the “City,” and
__________________________________________, a ______________________ corporation insert the correct type of entity – limited liability company, corporation, etc., and state of registration, hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor.” The City and the Contractor may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WITNESSETH:
In consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations herein expressed, it is agreed by and between the Parties as follows:
1. Contract Documents. The Contract Documents consist of this Agreement, the conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary, Other Conditions, the Drawings, Specifications, AND Scope of Work outlined in the Advertisement for Bid) all Addenda issued prior to and all modifications issued after execution of this Agreement. The foregoing documents form the Contract, and all are fully a part of the Contract as if attached to this Agreement.
2. Scope of the Work. The Contractor shall furnish all of the materials and perform all of the work shown on the drawings and described in the specifications for the project titled: 2025 Airport
North Hangar Perimeter Fence and Emergency Gate Replacement (the “Project”). Work performed shall be of high quality, in compliance with general accepted standards of workmanship, and in conformity with the Contract Documents.
3. Time of Substantial Completion. The Contractor will commence the work required by the
Contract Documents on the day indicated in the Notice to Proceed. The work to be performed pursuant to this Agreement shall be substantially completed, as that term is defined in the General
Conditions, within sixty (60) calendar days of the Contractor having received Notice to Proceed.
Any extensions of the time limit set forth above must be agreed upon in writing by the Parties.
4. Liquidated Damages. It is specifically recognized by and between the Parties that the City will suffer certain unspecified damages in the event the Project is not completed within the time set forth above. In recognition of the difficulty of ascertaining the actual damages to be sustained by the
City, the Parties agree that the assessment of liquidated damages shall be appropriate. In the event the Project is not completed within the specified time, there shall be assessed against the Contractor, and the Contractor hereby authorizes the City to retain from any moneys due the Contractor, the sum of $1,000.00 per day for each and every calendar day the Project remains unfinished.
5. Contract Sum. The City certifies that funds have been appropriated and will pay to the
Contractor such amounts in the manner and at such time as set forth by the Contract Documents. The
City shall pay the Contractor for the performance of the Contract, subject to additions and deletions provided therein, the sum of ______________________________________________
($__________________). Such sum shall be apportioned to each individual work item of the
Contract. The total amount of the individual work items shall equal the total Contract amount. If the
Time of Substantial Completion extends into more than one City budget year and the City has not appropriated the entire Contract Sum in the current budget year, the Contract becomes a multi-year financial obligation of the City and the City’s obligation to pay any amount of the Contract Sum beyond what has been appropriated in the current budget year is contingent upon the availability of funds appropriated by the City Council for each fiscal year budget during the term of the
Contract. State of Colorado laws prohibit the City from entering into contracts that contain a multi-year financial obligation without a non-appropriation clause, so any financial obligations in the
Contract that extend beyond the end of the City's current fiscal year budget shall be subject to an annual budget appropriation for all funds to be expended during the then current fiscal year. Absent the necessary appropriation, the City may terminate the Contract immediately and shall only be obligated to pay the Contractor for work rendered to the date of termination.
6. Insurance. During the Term of this Agreement, the Contractor agrees, at its own cost, to maintain, and provide evidence of upon request, a policy of Workers Compensation Insurance, if required by the Workers’ Compensation Act of Colorado, or any other applicable laws for any person engaged in the performance of the Services, and the policy or policies of insurance, if any, set forth below and marked with an “X.” The Contractor shall not be relieved of any liability, claims, demands, or other obligations assumed pursuant to this Agreement by reason of its failure to procure or maintain any required policy of insurance.
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with minimum combined single limits of
ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) each occurrence, and ONE MILLION DOLLARS
($1,000,000) aggregate. The policy shall be applicable to all premises and operations. The policy shall include coverage for bodily injury, broad form property damage (including completed operations), personal injury (including coverage for contractual and employee acts), blanket contractual, independent contractors, and products. The policy shall contain a severability of interests provision.
Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance with minimum combined single limits for bodily injury and property damage of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS
($1,000,000) each occurrence and ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) aggregate with respect to each of Contractor's owned, hired and/or non-owned vehicles assigned to be used or used in performance of the Services. The policy shall contain a severability of interests provision.

7. Progress Payments. The City will make progress payments for the work included in the

8. Final Payment. Final payment shall be paid by the City to the Contractor forty-five (45) days after substantial completion of the work unless otherwise stipulated in the Notice of Substantial

Engineer.
9. Capital Project Management System. The services to be performed by the Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be administered under the Capital Project Management System of the City. In order to ensure that the Project is consistent with its authorized scope, budget, and schedule, it will be necessary for the Contractor to submit certain reports to the City. The following reports are required:
A) Schedule of Work. The Contractor shall provide a schedule for the completion of all unit work items covered by the Contract. The schedule shall indicate the anticipated percentage completion of each unit work item for each month for the duration of the work.
The initial schedule must be submitted to the City prior to processing of the first payment request. The schedule will be updated monthly thereafter and submitted with succeeding payment requests, which requests will not be processed in the absence of the updated schedules or work.
B) Estimated Schedule of Payments. The Contractor shall provide an estimated schedule of monthly payments as a percentage of the total contract sum for each month throughout the term of the Contract. The estimated schedule of payments shall be submitted to the City before the first payment request will be processed.
C) Personnel Manpower List. The Contractor shall submit a listing of personnel required to complete each unit work item of the Contract.

The total cost of the unit work items shall equal the contract sum and the cost allocation shall be submitted to the City before the first payment request will be processed. The failure to file any report required by this Agreement shall automatically suspend the processing of all payment requests.
10. City Representative and Engineer. The City hereby designates

All Contract interpretations, Change Orders, and other requests for clarification or instruction shall be directed to the City representative, who shall be authorized to bind the City with respect to any decision made in accordance with the Capital Project
Management Control System.
11. Change Orders. The City may order changes within the scope of the work without invalidating this Agreement. If such changes alter the amount due under the Contract Documents, or in the time required for the performance of the work, such alteration shall be approved by both Parties in writing on the Change Order. A Change Order that alters the scope of the work, but not the amount due or the time required, shall be approved by both Parties in writing. Such Change Orders shall be processed in accordance with the procedures specified in the City Capital Project Management
System and in accordance with the City purchasing ordinance. The Contractor shall not proceed with any work covered by a proposed Change Order until they receive a properly executed Change Order form.
12. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, the Charter of the City of Cortez, and the Codes and Regulations of the City of Cortez. The Parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any legal action arising from or out of the Contract shall be in the 22nd Judicial District, Montezuma County, Colorado, District
Court, and that no mandatory arbitration or trial to a jury shall be allowed.
13. Termination/Default.
A) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon ten (10) days written notice should the other Party materially fail to perform in accordance with its terms, through no fault of the Party instituting the termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the City upon at least ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor in the event the Project is permanently abandoned by the City. In the event of termination not the fault of the
Contractor, the Contractor shall be compensated for all services performed to termination date, together with reasonable expenses then due.
B) Default. Each and every term and condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a material element of this Agreement. Time is of the essence. In the event either Party should fail or refuse to perform according to the terms of this Agreement, they may be declared in default hereof. A Notice of Default shall be in writing and signed by the Party declaring the
Contract to be in default. This letter shall include the special portion or portions of the
Contract which are in default.
C) Remedies Upon Default. In the event a Party has been declared in default hereof, such defaulting Party shall be allowed a period of five (5) days within which to rectify said default.
In the event the default remains uncorrected, the non-defaulting Party may elect to (1) terminate the Agreement and seek damages; (2) treat the Agreement as continuing and require specific performance; or (3) avail themselves of any other remedy at law or equity. If the
Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the work in accordance with this Agreement, the
City may elect to make good such deficiencies and charge the Contractor therefore. In the event of any of the agreements herein by either Party which shall require the Party not in default to commence legal or equitable actions against the defaulting Party, the defaulting
Party shall be liable to the non-defaulting Party for the non-defaulting Party’s reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred because of the fault.
14. Assignment. It is understood that the City enters into this Agreement based on the special abilities of the Contractor and that this Agreement shall be considered as an agreement for personal services.
