PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The Plans, the Specifications and Addenda thereto, issued prior to receiving bids, describe the Project, and all materials, workmanship and dimensions must be in strict accord with them except only when the Project Manager may, in writing, authorize an exception. In case of conflict between requirements shown on the Plans and provisions of the Specifications, the more restrictive shall apply. Dimensions, shown in figures on the Plans, shall govern in case of any discrepancy between them and scaled dimensions. The Contractor shall not take advantage of any apparent error or omission which may be found in the Plans or the Specifications, and the Project Manager shall be entitled to make such corrections therein and such interpretations thereof as he may deem necessary for the fulfillment of their intent. The Contractor will be supplied with five (5) copies of the Plans, the Specifications and Addenda thereto, and is to preserve them and have at least one (1) copy of them accessible on the work site at all times. 3. ALTERATIONS IN PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The right is reserved for the Project Manager to make, from time to time, such alterations in the Plans in the character of the work as he may consider necessary or desirable to complete the Project to his satisfaction and consistent with the general intention of the Contract Documents. Notice of every such alteration shall be given in writing to the Contractor, and no such alterations shall be considered as constituting a waiver of any of the provisions of the Contract Documents, or as nullifying or invalidating any of such provisions. Should any such alteration result in an increase or a decrease in the quantity or the cost of work or materials described in the bid, the total amount payable under the Contract will be accordingly modified. If alterations are thus made, the time for completion of the Contract will be correspondingly modified, if the Contractor so requests before commencing the work attributable to such alterations, it is understood that such alterations are not to embrace work already done or materials in transit or in process of construction. 4. AUTHORITY OF THE PROJECT MANAGER The supervision of the execution of this Contract is vested in the Project Manager, and his instructions shall be carried into effect promptly and efficiently.

20 The Project Manager shall in all cases determine the amount, quality, fitness and acceptability of the work and materials to be paid for and shall decide finally and conclusively all questions of differences of opinion that may arise as to the interpretation of the Plans and Specifications or the fulfillment of the terms of the Contract. In the event of such questions or difference of opinion, the decision of the Project Manager is to be a condition precedent to the Contractor's right to receive any money for the work or the materials to which the question or difference of opinion relates. If the Contractor considers any work demanded of him to be outside the requirements of this Contract, or if he considers any decision or ruling of the Project Manager to be unfair, he shall immediately, upon such work being demanded or such decision or ruling being made, ask for written instructions or decision, whereupon he shall proceed without delay to perform the work or conform to the decision or ruling; and unless the Contractor finds such instructions or decisions to be satisfactory, he shall within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt thereof, file a written protest with the City, stating clearly and in detail his objections and the reasons therefore. Unless the Contractor shall file such written protest with the City within such ten (10) calendar day period, he shall be deemed to have waived all grounds for such protest and to have accepted the requirement, decision or ruling of the Project Manager as just and reasonable and as being within the scope of the Contractor's obligations under the Contract Documents. The Project Manager is to have free access to the materials and work at all times, for laying out, measuring and inspecting the same, and the Contractor is to afford him all necessary facilities and assistance for so doing. 5. MATERIALS, LABOR AND EQUIPMENT The Contractor shall furnish all necessary tools and construction equipment and shall employ sufficient and competent personnel to do the work in an expeditious and acceptable manner, giving preference whenever practicable to residents of Peachtree City, Georgia. In the event that the Project Manager shall notify the Contractor in writing that any person employed is, in the opinion of the Project Manager, incompetent or disorderly, or used threatening or abusive language, or is otherwise unsatisfactory, such person shall be discharged at once and shall not be employed thereafter on the work site. The Contractor shall furnish all materials used in the construction of the Project and all equipment becoming a part of the Project, unless such materials or equipment are specifically stated in the Specifications as being furnished by the City. In the latter case, only the cost of installation of such materials or equipment shall be included in the contract price. The City retains ownership of any materials or equipment if furnished which are not incorporated in the work, and the Contractor, at his own expense, shall load such materials or equipment at the work site, transport them to City storage yard as directed by the Project Manager, and shall unload and leave them neatly stored in a workmanlike manner. Where the Plans and Specifications designate the product of a particular manufacturer, the product specified is suitable for the intended use, but unless otherwise provided, articles or products of similar characteristics may be offered for the approval of the Project Manager. Approval of substitutions will be based on manufacturer's published ratings. 6. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR The Contractor shall have at all times as his agent on the site of the work a competent superintendent capable of reading and thoroughly Understanding the Plans and Specification. The Superintendent shall have full authority to supply promptly such materials, tools, plant equipment, and labor as may be required. The Contractor shall be responsible for the good condition of the work or materials until formal release from his obligations under the terms of his Contract. He shall bear all losses resulting to him on account of the amount or character of the work, or the character of the ground, being different from what he anticipated, or on account of the weather or the elements. He shall place sufficient lights and danger

21 signals on or near the work from sunset to sunrise; shall erect suitable railings or other protective devices about unfinished work, open trenches, embankments, or other obstructions; shall provide all necessary watchmen on the work by day or by night for the safety of the public, and shall take all necessary precautions for preventing accidents or injuries to persons or property in or about the work site. In the event that the Contractor plans to enter into subcontracts for any portion of the Project, he shall incorporate in each such subcontract all provisions, terms, and conditions applicable to the Project which constitute obligations to be assumed and effected by him under the Contract Documents, and shall submit a copy of each such subcontract to the Project Manager for examination and approval prior to his execution of the subcontract. Subcontracts shall be entered into only with those subcontractors so approved in writing by the Project Manager. The City reserves the right of approval or rejection to any subcontract contemplated by the Contractor for any portion of the Project, whichever it deems to be in its best interest. The Contractor agrees to indemnify and save harmless forever, the City of Peachtree City and their officers, agents and employees from all claims for patent rights or fees, from all claims relating to labor or materials furnished for the work, and from all liability, loss, cost, and expense, including attorney's fees which may be sustained by the City or their officers, agents, or employees due to or caused by the failure of the Contractor to take all necessary precautions for preventing accidents or injuries to persons or property in or about the work site or due to or caused by any act, omission, or neglect by the Contractor, his subcontractors, agents or employees in the performance of this Contract. The Contractor agrees to defend against any claims brought or action filed against the City or their officers, agents, and employees in connection with the subject of the indemnities contained herein. The City may retain from money otherwise payable under the Contract such amount as it may determine to be required to pay the expenses and damages arising from any of said causes or in case no money is due, the Contractor's surety shall be held until such suits, action or claims for injuries or damages shall have been settled and suitable evidence to that effect furnished to the City. The Contractor shall at all times conduct the work in such a manner and in such sequences as will ensure the least practicable local interference. He shall not open up work to the prejudice of work already started, and the Project Manager may require the Contractor to furnish a section on which work is in progress before Work is started on any additional section. 7. TIME OF PERFORMANCE AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES The Contractor shall begin the Project with an adequate force and sufficient equipment and facilities on the date stated in the written Notice to Proceed issued and served upon him by the Project Manager. Thereafter the Contractor shall prosecute the work diligently, without any avoidable interruption, and at such rate and with such complement of labor, materials, and equipment as will complete the Project within the time stated in the Bid. No work however, shall be done between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., nor on Sunday, except when such work as is necessary for the proper care and protection of the work already performed, or except in case of any emergency, in which event the permission of the Project Manager to do such work shall be executed. Since time is of the essence on this Contract, in the event that the work to be done hereunder is not completed within the times herein before specified (and such additional extension of time as the Project Manager may have granted), the City will retain from the compensation otherwise to be paid to the Contractor, including partial payments as defined herein, the sum determined by GDOT Section

22 All work required by the Contract Documents shall be completed on such date stated in Section 00600, City of Peachtree City Contract, of this document. Provided, however, the time required by the General Contract shall only be tolled by adverse weather pursuant to the following: Completion time will not be extended for normal bad weather. The time for completion as stated in the Contract Documents includes due allowance for calendar days on which work cannot be performed. For the purpose of this Contract, the Contractor agrees that he may expect to lose calendar days due to weather in accordance with the following table: Jan. 10 days May 8 days Sep. 7 days Feb. 9 days June 8 days Oct. 6 days Mar. 9 days July 11 days Nov. 7 days Apr. 8 days Aug. 9 days Dec. 8 days Also, the Contractor agrees that the measure of extreme weather during the period covered by this Contract shall be the number of days in excess of those shown for each month in the table above, in which precipitation exceeded 0.10 inch and the average temperature failed to exceed 40 degrees F., averaged from the National Weather Service Forecast Office Peachtree City, Georgia. This is the same source of data used to determine normal weather losses. If the total accumulated number of calendar days lost to weather, from the start of work until the completion of project exceeds that total accumulated number to be expected for the same period from the table above, time for completion will be extended by the number of calendar days needed to include the excess number of calendar days lost. Request for extension in contract time shall be done as specified in the following paragraph. Should a delay in the work be caused by an act of God (other then mentioned in the paragraph above), war, strike, action of the City, or other cause beyond the control of the Contractor, he shall, within five (5) calendar days of the commencement of the delay, make a written claim for an extension in contract time. If, in the opinion of the Project Manager, the claim is justified, an extension in contract time will be allowed equal to the length of the delay. The Project Manager shall not consider delays caused by late delivery of equipment or materials to be beyond the control of the Contractor and hence shall not allow an extension of time for them unless written evidence is furnished that they were caused by acts of God, war, strikes, or action of the City. 8. INSURANCE TO BE CARRIED BY CONTRACTOR In addition to the indemnification language elsewhere within the Contract Documents, the Contractor hereby agrees to perform the work under this Contract as an independent Contractor, and not as a subcontractor, agent, or employee of the City. The Contractor, upon execution of the Contract, agrees to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold the City and their officers, agents, and employees free and unharmed against any liabilities whatsoever (except for liabilities created by the sole negligence of the City and their officers, agents and employees) resulting in connection with the performance of the work by the Contractor, his employees, or subcontractors. The Contractor's said obligation to protect, defend and hold the City and their officers, agents, and employees free and unharmed against any such liabilities shall have a monetary limitation of the larger of the following: $1,000, or the entire amount of the Contract. The Contractor shall not begin work under the Contract until after he has obtained all of the minimum insurance herein described and such insurance has been approved by the City nor shall the Contractor permit any subcontractor to begin work until after similar minimum insurance to cover the subcontract has been obtained and approved. Proof of insurance coverage must be submitted for approval. In addition to the minimum coverage outlined, the provisions of the various policies are subject to the City's approval and a copy may be requested for inspection.

23 The Contractor shall procure and maintain at his expense during the life of the Contract the following minimum insurance, with the City of Peachtree City named as additional insured: d. Commercial General Liability, Contractual Liability, Products/Complete Operations Liability, Owners and Contractors Protective Liability, and Personal Injury Liability Insurance - $1,000,000 combined Single Limit Bodily Injury and Property Damage each occurrence. e. Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance - $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit Injury and Property Damage Liability each occurrence. f. Workers Compensation Insurance - $100,000 Bodily Injury by Accident each accident; $500,000 Bodily Injury by Disease- policy limit; and $100,000 Bodily Injury by Disease each employee. 9. EXTRA WORK AND PAYMENT THEREFOR The Contractor shall perform unforeseen work, for which there is no price included in the Bid, wherever it is deemed necessary or desirable by the Project Manager to complete satisfactorily the Project as contemplated, and such extra work shall be performed promptly in accordance with the Specifications and as directed by the Project Manager; provided, however, that before any extra work is begun, a written order from the Project Manger (approved by the City Manager and/or City Council) to do the work shall be given to the Contractor. No extra work will be paid for unless ordered in writing. Extra work and material will ordinarily be paid for in a lump sum or at unit prices agreed to in writing by the Project Manager, and the Contractor before the extra work is ordered. The performance of any extra work or the furnishing of any extra material which, in the judgment of Project Manager, is of like character to and susceptible to classification under a unit price item of the Contract shall, if the order of the Project Manager shall so provide, be paid for at the unit bid price for such item. All extra work performed hereunder will be subject to all of the provisions of the Contract. Whenever, in the judgment of the Project Manager, such extra work or such extra material is not of like character to and susceptible to classification under a unit price item of the Contract, and it is impracticable because of the nature of the work, or for any other reason, to fix the price before the extra work order is issued, extra work and material will be paid for in the following manner: (a) (b) (c) For all labor, including a foreman in direct charge of the specified operations, the Contractor shall receive a sum equal to the current local rate of wages for every hour that the labor is actually performed, to which shall be added an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of such sum, and the total thereof shall be full compensation to the Contractor for general supervision and for furnishing and repairing small tools and ordinary equipment used in doing the extra work. In addition, the Contractor shall be paid the actual cost of social security taxes, unemployment insurance, worker's compensation insurance, and contractor's public liability, and property damage insurance involve in such extra work, based on the actual wages paid for such labor. For all materials used, the Contractor shall receive the actual cost of such materials, including freight charges as shown by original receipted bills, to which cost shall be added an amount equal to ten percent (10%) thereof. For any construction equipment or special equipment including fuel and lubricants therefore, required for the economical performance of extra work, the Project Manager shall allow the Contractor a rental price, to be agreed upon in writing before such work is begun, for every hour that such construction equipment or special equipment is actually operated on the work. Such hourly rental price shall not exceed 1/176th part of the monthly rate stated for such equipment in the latest edition of the "Compilation of Rental Rates for Construction Equipment" by Associated Equipment Distributors.

24 The Contractor's representative and the Project Manager shall compare records of extra work done. Such records shall be made in duplicate and shall be signed by both the Project Manager and the Contractor's representative, and one copy being submitted to the City and the other being retained by the Contractor. All claims for extra work done shall be submitted by the Contractor upon certified statements, to which shall be attached the original receipted bills covering the costs of and freight charges on all materials used in such work, and such statements, accompanied by copies of the order authorizing the performance of the work, shall be submitted to the Project Manager for inclusion in the estimate of the month in which the work was actually done. If required, the Contractor shall produce any books, vouchers, other records or memoranda that will assist the Project Manager in determining the true, necessary cost of work and materials to be paid for on a cost plus basis. 10. OMITTED ITEMS AND PAYMENTS THEREFOR The City shall have the right to cancel those portions of the Contract relating to the construction of any item provided for therein. Such cancellation shall entitle the Contractor to payment of the fair and equitable amount covering all items of cost incurred by him prior to the date of cancellation or suspension of the work by order of the Project Manager. The Contractor shall be allowed a profit percentage on the materials used and the construction work actually performed, at the same rates as provided for "Extra Work", but no allowance will be made for anticipated profits. Acceptable materials ordered by the Contractor or delivered on the work site prior to the date of such cancellation or suspension shall be purchased from the Contractor by the City at actual cost and shall thereupon become the property of the City. 11. NONAVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS If the Contractor is unable to furnish or use any of the materials or equipment specified, because of any order by the governmental agency limiting the manufacture or use, or because of the supply situation in the general market for such material or equipment, the Contractor shall offer substitutes therefore. The substitutes shall be suitable for the purpose, considering the factors of quality, serviceability, appearance, and maintenance. No substitute shall be used until it has been approved by the Project Manager. No consideration will be given to the use of substitutes on account of market conditions unless the Contractor demonstrates that for the item in question he placed his order and submitted shop drawings without delay, that he has shown due diligence in attempting to locate the item as specified, and that the unavailability is due to market conditions in general throughout that particular industry. If substitutes are used in the work, the compensation to be paid the Contractor will be subject to review and adjustment. Contractor is to obtain the consent of the Project Manager, and before commencing, shall confer with him as to the best manner of protecting the interests involved. 12. USE OF EXPLOSIVES No blasting will be done except upon approval by the Project Manager and under his specific directions. When the use of explosives is approved by the Project Manager as necessary for the prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall use the utmost care so as not to endanger life or property, and whenever directed, the number and size of the charges shall be reduced. All explosives shall be stored in a secure manner and all such storage places shall be clearly marked "DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVES" and shall be in the care of competent watchmen.

25 13. ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT No assignment of the Contract, or of any part thereof, or of any moneys due or to become due hereunder, shall be made by the Contractor without the prior written approval of the City, which approval will be given after the surety on the Performance and Payment Bonds has informed the City in writing that it has no objection to such assignment being made. In the event that the Contractor shall undertake to assign all or any part of any moneys due or to become due under the Contract, the instrument of assignment shall contain a provision substantially to the effect that it is agreed that the right of the assignee in and to any such moneys shall be subject to the prior liens or claims of all persons for services rendered or materials supplied for the performance of all work embraced by the Contract. 14. ANNULMENT OF CONTRACT BY THE CITY If the Contractor shall fail to begin the work under the Contract within the time specified, or shall fail to perform the work with sufficient workmen and equipment or with sufficient material to insure the prompt completion of the work, or shall perform the work unsatisfactorily, or shall neglect or refuse to remove materials or to perform anew such work as shall be rejected as defective and unsuitable, or shall discontinue the prosecution of the work, or shall become insolvent or be declared bankrupt, or shall commit any act of bankruptcy or insolvency, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or from any other cause whatsoever shall not carry on the work in an acceptable manner, the Project Manager may give notice in writing to the Contractor and to his surety of such delay, neglect or default, specifying the conditions pertaining thereto and directing the Contractor to correct same. If the Contractor shall not correct such conditions within a period of five (5) calendar days after receipt of such notice, the City shall, upon written certificate from the Project Manager reciting the facts of such delay, neglect, or default and the failure of the Contractor to comply with the directions given in such notice, have full power and authority, without violating the Contract, to take the prosecution of the work out of the hands of the Contractor, to appropriate or use any or all materials or equipment on the ground as may be suitable or acceptable, to enter into an agreement with another contractor for the completion of the Project, or to use such other methods as, in the opinion of the City, shall be required for the completion of the Project in an acceptable manner. All costs and charges incurred by the City, together with all costs of completing the work under contract, shall be deducted from any moneys due or which may become due to the Contractor. In the event that the expense so incurred by the City shall be less than the sum which would have been payable under the Contract if the work had been completed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to receive the difference; in case such expense shall exceed the sum which would have been payable under the Contract, the Contractor and the surety shall be liable and shall pay the City the amount of such excess. 15. SCOPE OF PAYMENT The Contractor shall receive and accept the compensation as herein provided in full payment for furnishing all materials, labor, tools, and equipment, and for performing all work required to complete the Project under the Contract, and also in full payment for all loss or damage arising from the nature of the work or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may be encountered during the prosecution of the work until its final acceptance by the City. Only net quantities of finished work will be measured and paid for. For each of the items included and for which a unit price is stated in the Bid, the aggregate amount to be paid therefore by the City at such unit price shall be the measured amount of such item incorporated in the completed Project by the Contractor and acceptable to the Project Manager.

26 The unit prices stated in the Bid include all costs and expenses for labor, equipment, materials, commissions, transportation charges and expenses, patent fees and royalties, removing crossing or other obstructions, protecting or maintaining pipes, drains, culverts, railroad tracts, buildings, bridges, or other structures, furnishing temporary crossings or bridges, furnishing all stakes, batterboards, and templates, common labor for staking out grades and lines, and ordinary labor for handling materials during inspection, replacing any property disturbed, together with any and all other costs and expenses for performing and completing the work as specified. It is mutually agreed that, due to latent field conditions which cannot be foreseen at the time of advertising for bids, adjustment of Plans to such field conditions will be necessary during construction, and therefore such changes in the Plans shall be recognized as constituting a normal and expected margin of adjustment, not unusual and not involving nor permitting any change or modification of unit prices, provided only that resulting overruns or underruns from the quantities stated in the Bid do not exceed a reasonable percentage. Changes involving any major item in an amount not more than fifty percent (50%) of the quantities listed in the Bid shall be construed as constituting such a reasonable percentage, in which case payment will be made for the revised quantities at the unit price bid in the Bid. A major item is construed to be any item of the Contract, which amounts to at least five percent (5%) of the total Contract price. Changes involving any major item in an increased amount not more than two hundred percent (200%) of the quantities listed in the Bid shall also be construed as constituting such a reasonable percentage, in which case payment will be made for the revised quantities at the unit price bid in the Bid. A minor item is construed to be any item of the Contract, which amounts to less than five percent (5%) of the total Contract price. 16. PARTIAL AND FINAL PAYMENT Before the Contractor can receive any payment hereunder, except the first partial payment, for moneys due him as a result of a percentage of the work completed, he must provide the Project Manager with duly executed affidavits or releases of lien from all subcontractors who have performed any work on the Project as of that date, stating that said subcontractors have been paid their proportionate share of all previous draws. The failure of the prime Contractor to provide the foregoing affidavits or releases of lien shall result in the City placing the amount in dispute in an escrow account until said dispute is resolved. For the purpose of preparing a monthly estimate, the Project Manager will make an approximate estimate of the value of all work done and materials furnished as of the last day of each calendar month, will deduct therefrom ten percent (10%) thereof, all liquidated damages assessed during that month in accordance with section 7 herein, if any, and all previous payments and charges, and the balance will be paid by the City to the Contractor on or before the last day of the following month. The ten percent (10%), which is deducted each month, is reserved by the City as partial guarantee to it of the faithful execution of the Contract by the Contractor. The City at any time, however, after fifty percent (50%) of the work has been completed and satisfactory progress is being made in the opinion of the Project Manager, will reduce retainage to five percent (5%) on the current and remaining estimates. As a consideration for such payment, the City shall have the right to enter upon and put into proper service, any or all parts of the work, which may be in condition for use. No claim or charge is to be made by the Contractor for such use, nor is such use to be construed as an acceptance by the City of any part of the work so used. As soon as the Project Manager is notified of the completion of the work and can assure himself by test, inspection or otherwise, that all of the provisions of the Contract have been carried out to his satisfaction, he will make a final estimate of the value of all work done and will deduct therefrom all previous payments which have been made. The Project Manager shall report such estimate to the City, together with his recommendations as to the acceptance of the work or his findings as to any deficiencies therein. Within sixty (60) days after the approval by the Project Manager of such estimate and report, the amount of the estimate, less any charges or damages herein provided for, will be paid. Upon such final payment, the City shall be released by the Contractor from all liability whatever growing out of the Contract, except

27 for the balance, if any of such amount as may have been retained to cover charges, claims or damages exist or will arise, no such amount will be retained. All prior estimates are subject to correction in the final estimate. END OF SECTION SECTION 01100
