EXHIBIT F - RELEASE OF CLAIMS.pdf

Exhibit F is a Release of Claims form used by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) in connection with contract performance and final payment. This document serves as a formal release wherein the contractor acknowledges receipt of full and final payment for amounts due under the contract and releases LACMTA, its officers, directors, agents, and employees from all liabilities, obligations, claims, and demands arising from the contract. The form permits contractors to reserve specific claims with LACMTA's concurrence, which must be listed explicitly on the document. The release applies to the As-Needed Battery Supply and Install contract opportunity in California, which requires a contractor to supply and replace battery systems at various LACMTA facilities throughout the service area, including batteries, cabling, rack and mounting systems, and all associated materials.

The form includes certification requirements for corporate contractors, mandating that an authorized corporate officer certify the signatory's authority to execute the release on behalf of the corporation and that the action falls within the corporation's scope of powers. The document contains fillable fields for the contract number, project name, contractor name, attestor information, and signatory details. This release of claims represents a standard contractual mechanism to establish final settlement and discharge of all contract-related obligations and disputes, except for those claims specifically preserved by mutual agreement between the contractor and LACMTA.
