To avoid disputes and litigation, it must be distinctly understood by the Bidder/Contractor that the Engineer shall construe or interpret the specifications and explain any ambiguity therein and shall have the right to decide as to their purpose and intent and his decision upon any such ambiguity shall be final, conclusive and binding.

1.03 TIME LIMITS

Should the Owner grant the Contractor an extension of Contract time, the Contractor shall not be due any compensation for the extended contract time unless specifically indicated in writing at the time of the extension. Failure of Owner or Owner’s Representative to expressly respond to a reservation of rights letter from Contractor reserving a right to additional compensation shall in no way be deemed an admission that Contractor is entitled to additional fees. Any costs associated with increased contract time due to approved change order work must be specifically identified included in the change order at the time of submission.

1.04 REFERENCE TO THE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

(a) All applicable portions of the work performed under this contract shall comply with the requirements of the current New Jersey Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, as amended or supplemented and whose specifications are made part of these specifications. The New Jersey Department of Transportation Standard Construction Details shall govern except insofar as same are expressly modified, amended or changed in detail drawings prepared specifically for this particular project.

(b) The Standard Specifications are made part of these specifications by this reference as if were set forth in full. It is the responsibility of the prospective bidder to be familiar with these Standard Specifications. The Contractor is required to follow only the electronic version, effective September 1, 2019, as referenced in Baseline Document Change announcement BDC19S-01 of the New Jersey Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, 2019, unless modified in the technical specifications of this contract. Copies may be examined in the Engineer's office or may be obtained from the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

2.0 CONDUCT OF THE WORK

2.01 CONTRACTOR TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY

In case of any emergency which threatens loss or injury of property, and/or safety of life, the Contractor is required to act as he sees fit. He shall notify the Engineer thereof immediately thereafter.

2.02 EXTRA WORK

The Contractor further agrees that the Engineer may make such alterations as he may see fit in the form, dimensions, plans for materials of the work, materials and supplies bid upon or any part thereof, either before or after work. If such alterations diminish the quantity of the equipment, materials and supplies to be furnished and delivered to the site or work to be executed, they shall not constitute a claim for damages for anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed with. If the extra work, change or alteration increases the amount of work to be performed or equipment, they shall be paid for at the price bid. If prices for such extra work are not included in the lump sum prices or unit prices bid, the Contractor hereby agrees to furnish the necessary materials and perform such labor as extra work, and agrees to

SC-3

accept in full payment therefore a price which shall be fixed by the Engineer previous to its commencement. The basis of such price will be the estimated actual cost of materials, labor, equipment, and a maximum 10% overhead plus a maximum 10% profit. Contractor shall furnish a detailed cost breakdown for proposed extra work for review by the Engineer. The Owner and/or Engineer has the sole authority to unilaterally direct extra work to be performed on a force account basis. The basis of payment for force account work shall be the actual cost of the materials, labor and equipment, and a maximum 10% overhead plus a maximum 10% profit. Contractor shall furnish a detailed cost estimate of the extra work to be paid by force account previous to its commencement. Contractor shall submit daily or shift reports for actual force account costs.

Payment for markup on subcontracted work shall be at a maximum rate of 5% of the total amount for all costs on the subcontracted work, for both fixed price and force account extra work. Change Orders and Open End Contracts will be in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:30-11 et seq.

The Contractor shall not be entitled to receive payment for any extra work unless the same is certified in writing by the Engineer.

2.03 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

For construction contracts, the Owner and Contractor agree that in the event of a dispute arising under this contract, it shall be submitted to a process of resolution pursuant to alternative dispute resolution practices, such as mediation, binding arbitration or non-binding arbitration pursuant to industry standards, prior to being submitted to a Court for adjudication. Nothing in this section shall prevent the contracting unit from seeking injunctive or declaratory relief in court at any time. The alternative dispute resolution practices shall not apply to disputes concerning the bid solicitation or award process, or to the formation of contracts or subcontracts to be entered to pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1 et seq. (Local Public Contracts Law).

Notwithstanding industry rules or any provision of law to the contrary, whenever a dispute concerns more than one contract, such as when a dispute in a contract involving design, architecture, engineering or management, upon demand of a contracting party, other interested parties to the dispute shall be joined unless the arbitrator or person appointed to resolve the dispute determines that such a joinder is inappropriate. Notwithstanding industry rules or any provision of law to the contrary, whenever more than one dispute of a similar nature arises under a construction contract, or related construction contracts, upon demand of a contracting party, the disputes shall be joined unless the arbitrator or person appointed to resolve the dispute determines that the disputes are inappropriate for joinder.

During any dispute the Contractor shall diligently proceed with completing the contract unless otherwise directed, in writing, by the Owner or Engineer.

3.0 MATERIALS

In all cases, new materials shall be used unless this provision is waived by notice from the Engineer.

4.0 INSPECTION AND TESTING

4.01 INSPECTION

Should the contractor have an emergency or need to cancel scheduled work, notification of the cancelled work must be received by the Engineer’s inspector no later than 6:00 am the morning of the cancellation.

Failure of the contractor to provide the required notification will require the contractor to pay for eight (8) hours of inspection at the rate of the Engineer’s local inspector. The costs for cancellation of inspection without the required notification will be deducted from the contractor’s payment application.

SC-4

5.0 PAYMENTS

5.01 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND PERIODIC ESTIMATES

Approval of the progress schedule by the Engineer does not modify the Contract or constitute Acceptance of the feasibility of the Contractor’s logic, activity durations, or assumptions used in creating the schedule. If the schedule reflects a completion date different than that defined by the date of Notice to Proceed and Contract Time, this does not change the specified completion date. If the Engineer approves a schedule that reflects a completion date earlier than that specified as the Contract Time, the Owner will not accept claims for additional Contract Time or compensation as the result of failure to complete the Work by the earlier date shown on the progress schedule. Float is the amount of time that an activity may be delayed from its early start without delaying Completion. Float belongs to the Project and is not for the exclusive use of the Contractor or the Owner.

6.0 DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS PROVISIONS (N.J.S.A. 40A:11-16.7)

a. Differing Site Conditions Provisions:

(1) If the contractor encounters differing site conditions during the progress of the work of the contract, the contractor shall promptly notify the contracting unit in writing of the specific differing site conditions encountered before the site is further disturbed and before any additional work is performed in the impacted area.

(2) Upon receipt of a differing site conditions notice in accordance with Section 9.0(a)1 of this subsection, or upon the contracting unit otherwise learning of differing site conditions, the contracting unit shall promptly undertake an investigation to determine whether differing site conditions are present.

(3) If the contracting unit determines different site conditions that may result in additional costs or delays exist, the contracting unit shall provide prompt written notice to the contractor containing directions on how to proceed.

(4) (a) The contracting unit shall make a fair and equitable adjustment to the contract price and contract completion date for increased costs and delays resulting from the agreed upon differing site conditions encountered by the contractor.

(b) If both parties agree that the contracting unit’s investigation and directions decrease the contractor’s costs or time of performance, the contracting unit shall be entitled to a fair and equitable downward adjustment of the contract price or time of performance.

(c) If the contracting unit determines that there are no differing site conditions present that would result in additional costs or delays, the contracting unit shall so advise the contractor, in writing, and the contractor shall resume performance of the contract, and shall be entitled to pursue a differing site conditions claim against the contracting unit for additional compensation or time attributable to the alleged differing site conditions.

(5) Execution of the contract by the contractor shall constitute a representation that the contractor has visited the site and has become generally familiar with the local conditions under which the work is to be performed.

(6) As used in this subsection, “differing site conditions” mean physical conditions at the contract work site that are subsurface or otherwise concealed and which differ materially from those indicated in the contract documents or are of such an unusual nature that the conditions differ

SC-5

materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work of the character provided for in the contract.

b. Suspension of Work Provisions:

(1) The contracting unit shall provide written notice to the contractor in advance of any suspension of work lasting more than 10 calendar days of the performance of all or any portion of the work of the contract.

(2) If the performance of all or any portion of the work of the contract is suspended by the contracting unit for more than 10 calendar days due to no fault of the contractor or as a consequence of an occurrence beyond the contracting unit’s control, the contractor shall be entitled to compensation for any resultant delay to the project completion or additional contractor expenses, and to an extension of time, provided that, to the extent feasible, the contractor, within 10 calendar days following the conclusion of the suspension, notifies the contracting unit, in writing, of the nature and extent of the suspension of work. The notice shall include available supporting information, which information may thereafter be supplemented by the contractor as needed and as may be reasonably requested by the contracting unit. Whenever a work suspension exceeds 60 days, upon seven days’ written notice, either party shall have the option to terminate the contract for cause and to be fairly and equitably compensated therefore.

(3) Upon receipt of the contractor’s suspension of work notice in accordance with Section 9.0(A)2 of this subsection, the contracting unit shall promptly evaluate the contractor’s notice and promptly advise the contractor of its determination on how to proceed in writing.

(4) (a) If the contracting unit determines that the contractor is entitled to additional compensation or time, the contracting unit shall make a fair and equitable upward adjustment to the contract price and contract completion date.

(b) If the contracting unit determines that the contractor is not entitled to additional compensation or time, the contractor shall proceed with the performance of the contract work, and shall be entitled to pursue a suspension of work claim against the contracting unit for additional compensation or time attributable to the suspension.

(5) Failure of the contractor to provide timely notice of a suspension of work shall result in a waiver of a claim if the contracting unit can prove by clear and convincing evidence that the lack of notice or delayed notice by the contractor actually prejudiced the contracting unit’s ability to adequately investigate and defend against the claim.

c. Change in Character of Work Provisions:

(1) If the contractor believes that a change directive by the contracting unit results in a material change to the contract work, the contractor shall so notify the contracting unit in writing. The contractor shall continue to perform all work on the project that is not the subject of the notice.

(2) Upon receipt of the contractor’s change in character notice in accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection, the contracting unit shall promptly evaluate the contractor’s notice and promptly advise the contractor of its determination on how to proceed in writing.

(3) (a) If the contracting unit determines that a change to the contractor’s work caused or directed by the contracting unit materially changes the character of any aspect of the contract work, the contracting unit shall make a fair and equitable upward adjustment to the contract price and contract completion date. The basis for any such price adjustment shall be the difference between the cost of performance of the work as planned at the time of contracting and the

SC-6

actual cost of such work as a result of its change in character, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the contractor and the contracting unit prior to the contractor performing the subject work.

(b) If the contracting unit determines that the contractor is not entitled to additional compensation or time, the contractor shall continue the performance of all contract work, and shall be entitled to pursue a claim against the contracting unit for additional compensation or time attributable to the alleged material change.

(4) As used in this subsection, “material change” means a character change which increases or decreases the contractor’s cost of performing the work, increases or decreases the amount of time by which the contractor completes the work in relation to the contractually required completion date, or both.

d. Change in Quantity Provisions:

(1) The contracting unit may increase or decrease the quantity of work to be performed by the contractor.

(2) (a) If the quantity of a pay item is cumulatively increased or decreased by 20 percent or less from the bid proposal quantity, the quantity change shall be considered a minor change in quantity.

(b) If the quantity of a pay item is increased or decreased by more than 20 percent from the bid proposal quantity, the quantity change shall be considered a major change in quantity.

(3) For any minor change in quantity, the contracting unit shall make payment for the quantity of the pay item performed at the bid price for the pay item.

(4) (a) For a major increase in quantity, the contracting unit or contractor may request to renegotiate the price for the quantity in excess of 120 percent of the bid proposal quantity. If a mutual agreement cannot be reached on a negotiated price for a major quantity increase, the contracting unit shall pay the actual costs plus an additional 10 percent for overhead and an additional 10 percent for profit, unless otherwise specified in the original bid.

(b) For a major decrease in quantity, the contracting unit or contractor may request to renegotiate the price for the quantity of work performed. If a mutual agreement cannot be reached on a negotiated price for a major quantity decrease, the contracting unit shall pay the actual costs plus an additional 10 percent for overhead and an additional 10 percent for profit, unless otherwise specified in the original bid; provided, however, that the contracting unit shall not make a payment in an amount that exceeds 80 percent of the value of the bid price multiplied by the bid proposal quantity.

(5) As used in this subsection, the term “bid proposal quantity” means the quantity indicated in the bid proposal less the quantities designated in the project plans as “if and where directed.”
