CONTRACT AGREEMENT

STATE OF TEXAS :

COUNTY OF HARRIS :

THIS AGREEMENT is dated as of the ______ day of __________________ in the year 2026 by and between Niazi Family Investments, Ltd of the County of Harris, and the State of Texas, a government agency of the State of Texas with its principal place of business at 14825 Willis St., Houston, Texas 77039, hereinafter called OWNER, and CONTRACTOR, a Texas corporation with its principal place of business at _____________________, hereinafter called CONTRACTOR.

CONTRACTOR and OWNER, agree as follows:

The terms used in these Supplementary Conditions which are defined in the Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract have the meanings assigned to them in the General Conditions.

The following definitions are added to Article 1 of the Standard General Conditions:

4. Physical Conditions at Site

The contract drawings or technical specifications may contain soil boring logs or geotechnical reports which indicate subsoil conditions at the site. As noted in the General Conditions, neither the OWNER nor the ENGINEER guarantees the accuracy of the information obtained through these investigations, and such information, though provided as assistance to the CONTRACTOR, is not part of the Contract documents.

The CONTRACTOR shall not commence work under this Contract until he has obtained, at his expense, all insurance required under this section of the General Conditions and by the Contract Documents, and such insurance has been approved by the OWNER, nor shall the CONTRACTOR allow any subcontractor to commence work on any subcontract until all similar insurance required of the subcontractor has been so obtained and approved. Such insurance shall remain in full force and effect on all phases of the work, whether or not the work is occupied or utilized by the OWNER, until all work under the Contract is completed and has been accepted by the OWNER.

Nothing contained in the insurance requirements shall be construed as limiting the extent of the CONTRACTOR's responsibility for payment of damages resulting from his operations under the Contract.

Any insurance bearing an adequacy of performance will be maintained after completion of the project for the full guarantee period.

The CONTRACTOR shall obtain and maintain for the full period of the Contract the following types of insurance in the form, minimum limits and amounts herein specified or as may be otherwise required in the Contract Documents.
