DLNR General Conditions-DLNR Gen Con.pdf

This document is a General Conditions template for the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) in Hawaii, establishing the standard contractual terms and procedures governing construction and service contracts for state projects. The General Conditions encompass eight primary sections covering definitions, proposal requirements, contract award and execution, scope of work, work control, materials and equipment management, prosecution and progress, and measurement and payment protocols. The document provides a comprehensive framework applicable to the Mala Boat Ramp Site Improvements project in Lahaina, Maui, which involves demolition of existing structures, site grading, installation of asphalt and concrete pavement, reconstruction of boat washdown facilities with drain fields, site lighting installation, and renovation of the comfort station building including roofing, interior painting, and restroom fixture replacement. The General Conditions require bidders to submit formal proposals with bid security, establish performance and payment bond requirements, and outline the process for contract award, execution, and performance.

The General Conditions establish standard payment terms based on measurement and compensation for completed work, with provisions for progress payments and final settlement upon project acceptance. Bidders are required to comply with prevailing wage requirements, maintain detailed payroll records, and observe all applicable federal and state laws. The document includes mandatory performance and payment bond requirements with specific forms provided in the appendix. Key contractual provisions address contractor responsibility for work quality, material sourcing and substitution procedures, inspection rights, value engineering opportunities, and the state's right to audit records and terminate contracts for convenience. The framework incorporates provisions for handling asbestos-containing materials, managing non-conforming materials, resolving disputes and claims, and establishing procedures for contract suspension, corrective action, and final project acceptance and closure.
