About this file

This is a Construction Agreement (Bond Required) template issued by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District for construction projects located in Orange or Osceola County, Florida. The agreement establishes the contractual relationship between the District (Owner) and a selected Contractor for performance of specified construction work. The contract documents include a Scope of Work, Project Milestone Schedule, Recap of Contract Sum, Pending Alternates, Unit Price Schedule, Special Contract Conditions, and General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. The Contractor must commence work upon receipt of a written Notice-to-Proceed and complete all work within a specified timeframe with interim milestone dates as detailed in the contract. The work must achieve Substantial Completion by a specified number of days from the Notice-to-Proceed and Final Completion by an additional specified number of days thereafter. The Contract requires submission of a Project Site-Specific Safety Plan and compliance with detailed safety requirements covering general safety, personal protective equipment, confined spaces, electrical work, fall protection, equipment operation, and utility locating procedures.

The Contract Sum is established as a lump sum or not-to-exceed amount specified in Exhibit C, with monthly progress payments calculated at ninety-five percent of work completed through each Payment Application Date, with retainage withheld for incomplete work. Final payment is due within fourteen days after completion of punch list items and execution of the Close-out Change Order, contingent upon the Contractor's full compliance with all contract provisions. The Contractor must provide a recorded Public Construction Bond in conformance with Florida Statute 255.05 for the full Contract Sum amount, guaranteeing faithful performance and prompt payment to all laborers and material suppliers. The agreement includes provisions for liquidated damages if Substantial Completion is not achieved by the specified deadline, with the daily rate to be determined. The Contractor warrants all labor, materials, and equipment for one year from final completion and bears all costs associated with performance, including taxes, labor, materials, equipment, and overhead. The contract is governed by Florida law with exclusive jurisdiction in Orange County Circuit Court, and includes requirements for E-Verify compliance, public records compliance per Florida Statute Chapter 119, and compliance with scrutinized companies restrictions under Florida Statute Section 287.135.

mailto:wdw.rces.billing@disney.com

Each such monthly payment shall be in an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the net amount allowed the Contractor for labor, materials and equipment incorporated or used in the Work (or suitably stored at the job site if the Owner has agreed in advance to pay for such stored materials and equipment) through the Payment Application Date, as indicated in the Owner's approval of the Application for Payment, after deducting any sums withheld by the Owner pursuant to the Contract Documents and the aggregate of all previous payments to the Contractor on account of the Contract Sum. Upon Substantial Completion of the Work, as determined by the Owner, the Owner shall pay to the Contractor a sum sufficient to increase the aggregate payments theretofore made to the Contractor on account of the Contract Sum to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Contract Sum, less such retainage as the Owner shall determine is necessary for all incomplete Work, unsettled claims or other matters for which the Owner is permitted to withhold under the General Conditions.

8.2. Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, shall be paid by the Owner to the Contractor within fourteen (14) days after completion of those items set forth in the Punch List, including, without limitation, approval by Owner of the final Application for Payment, and execution by the Contractor of the Close-out Change Order, in accordance with the General Conditions; provided, however, that final payment shall in no event be due unless and until the Contractor shall have complied with all provisions of the Contract Documents, including those contained in Subparagraph 9.4.2 of the General Conditions.

8.3. Return of Funds. Contractor will return any overpayments due to unearned funds or funds disallowed pursuant to the terms of the Agreement that were disbursed to the Contractor.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Should the Contractor fail to achieve Substantial Completion by the date provided in the Contract, the Contractor shall pay and/or the District may retain from the compensation otherwise to be paid to the Contractor, as liquidated damages, the sum of $____.00 for each consecutive calendar day until Substantial Completion is achieved; said sum is agreed upon as a reasonable and proper measure of damages which the District will sustain per diem by failure of the Contractor to complete work within the time as stipulated; it being recognized by the District and the Contractor that the injury to the District which could result from a failure of the Contractor to complete on schedule is uncertain and cannot be computed exactly. In no way shall costs for liquidated damages be construed as a penalty on the Contractor. The liquidated damages referenced herein may also be assessed and collected against the Surety. Liquidated damages do not apply to final completion dates.
