A “certified statement” is a statement signed by a contractor’s Union, a corporate officer of a contractor, or an employee of a contractor who is authorized to provide information set forth in the statement. The certified statement must include all of the following information:

a. The date the property was purchased;

b. The type of property purchased;

c. The cost of property purchased and the amount of sales and use taxed paid thereon;

d. The vendor from whom the property was purchased;

e. The project for which the property was purchased;

f. If the property was purchased in the State of North Carolina, the county to which it was delivered, or, if the property was not purchased in the State of North Carolina, the county in which the property was used; and

g. The invoice number of the purchase.

In the event Contractor makes several purchases from the same vendor, such certified statement must indicate the invoice numbers, the inclusive dates of the invoices, the total amount of the invoices, and the State and local sales and use taxes paid thereon. Such statement must also include the cost of any tangible personal property withdrawn from Contractor’s warehouse stock and the amount of State and local sales or use tax paid thereon by Contractor. Any local sales or use taxes included in Contractor’s statements must be shown separately from the State sales or use taxes. Contractor’s statements must not contain sales or use taxes paid on purchases of tangible personal property purchased by Contractor for use in performing the Contract which does not annex to, affix to or in some manner become a part of the building or structure that is owned or leased by a governmental agency and is being erected, altered or repaired for use by a governmental entity as defined by N.C.G.S. § 105-164.14(c). Examples of property on which sales or use tax has been paid by Contractor and which shall not be included in Contractor’s certified statement are scaffolding, forms for concrete, fuel for the operation of machinery and equipment, tools, equipment, equipment repair parts and equipment rentals. Similar certified statements by Subcontractors must be obtained by Contractor and furnished to Union.

Contractor shall submit notarized sales tax certificates which meet the requirements detailed above with each Application for Payment. Payment will not be made until the sales tax certificate(s) have been submitted to Union. Union is the recipient of sales tax refunds and no such funds shall be provided to Contractor, or claim made by Contractor therefor.

11. WARRANTY OF WORK. Contractor warrants that all Work shall be new, unless otherwise agreed in this Agreement, and of good quality and performed in a good and workmanlike manner. Contractor shall, at its own expense, at the request of Union, promptly replace or repair any defective or deficient Work for a period of one year after completion of Work. The express warranty contained in this section shall not diminish any of Union's rights against Contractor with respect to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish Contractor's liability with respect to Contractor's obligations other than specifically to correct Work.

12. SAFETY. Contractor shall establish and enforce safe working procedures at all times during its performance of Work in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations pertaining to safety.

13. AGE LIMITS. No employee of Contractor under the age of 18 shall be permitted on property owned or leased by Union.

14. CLEANUP. Contractor shall keep its work areas clean of debris and excess materials, and at the end of each day will leave its work areas in broom-clean condition. If Contractor fails to clean up as required herein, Union may clean up and deduct the cost from Contractor's payment.

15. LIABILITY. Contractor agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Union County, its officers, employees and agents free and harmless from and against any and all losses, penalties, damages, settlements, costs, charges, professional fees or other expenses or liabilities of every kind and character arising out of or relating to any and all claims, liens, demands, obligations, actions, proceedings, or causes of action of every kind in connection with or arising out of this agreement and/or the performance hereof that are due, in whole or in part, to the negligence of the Contractor, its officers, employees, subcontractors or agents. Contractor further agrees to investigate, handle, respond to, provide defense for, and defend the same at its sole expense and agrees to bear all other costs and expenses related thereto.

16. “RESERVED”

17. [Include this section only if required by the IFB. If not required by IFB, delete this section and insert the word “RESERVED” in its place.] LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Contractor and Union recognize that time is of the essence and that Union will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the times specified in Section 4 herein. The parties also recognize the delays, expense, and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by Union if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, Union and Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty), Contractor shall pay Union $250.00 for each day that expires after the time specified in Section 4 herein for substantial completion until the Work is substantially complete.

18. DEFAULT/TERMINATION. If Contractor fails or refuses to supply sufficient and properly skilled labor, equipment or materials, or fails in any respect to diligently prosecute Work, or otherwise is in default or breach of any term of this Agreement, Union may terminate this Agreement upon 24 hours' written notice. In the event of such termination, Contractor immediately will stop work and remove its employees from Union's property. Union may complete the Work in whatever way it determines best, and at completion of the Work shall pay Contractor for the value of the Work performed by Contractor (excluding profit) but unpaid prior to the termination, less any costs incurred by Union to correct any deficiencies or defects attributable to Contractor's work.

19. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Union may terminate this Agreement at any time upon three (3) days’ written notice to Contractor. Such termination shall be effective in the manner specified in such written notice. Upon a termination for convenience, Union shall pay Contractor for Work performed to the date of termination. Contractor shall accept such payment in full and final payment and shall make no claim of any kind against Union, including but not limited to any claim for any additional payment.

20. ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement, nor any payments to be earned pursuant to this Agreement, may be assigned by Contractor without the prior written consent of Union.

21. NO WAIVER. Union's not insisting upon strict compliance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or not exercising any of its options provided herein, shall not be construed as a waiver of its right thereafter to require such compliance or to exercise any such options.

22. E-VERIFY. E-Verify is the federal program operated by the United States Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies, or any successor or equivalent program, used to verify the work authorization of newly hired employees pursuant to federal law.

Contractor shall ensure that Contractor and any subcontractor performing work under this Agreement: (i) uses E-Verify if required to do so by North Carolina law; and (ii) otherwise complies with the requirements of Article 2 of Chapter 64 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A breach of this provision by Contractor will be considered a breach of this Agreement, which entitles Union to terminate this Agreement, without penalty, upon notice to Contractor.

23. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties, and may not be modified except in writing signed by both parties.

24. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina. The parties to this agreement confer exclusive jurisdiction of all disputes arising hereunder upon the General Courts of Justice of Union County, North Carolina.

25. AUTHORITY. Each signatory below warrants that it has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement.
