If the Project relates to more than one building or structure, or involves a multiphase project, the City Manager will prepare a separate punch list for each building and structure and if it is a multiphase project, for each phase, within 30 days of substantial completion of such building, structure, and phase. [See Sec. 255 .07, Fla . Stat.] The final contract completion date may not be less than 30 days after the delivery of the list of items .

Approval of Paym ent 14.4 CONSUL TANT's approval of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by him to OWNER, based on CONSUL TANT's on site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced professional and on his review of the Application for Payment and supporting data, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated in the Application for Payment; that, to the best his knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning Project upon substantial completion as defined in Article I, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and any qualifications stated in his approval); and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount approved. However, the approval of such payment does not mean and may not imply that CONSUL TANT made exhaustive or continuous on-site observations to check the quality or the quantity of the Work, or that he has reviewed the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction or that he has made any examination to ascertain how or for what purpose CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid or to be paid to him, or that title to any Work, materials , or equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear of any liens. 14.5 CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to be paid unless: (a) the labor and materials listed on a payment application have been used in the construction of this Work or, as to materials included in the request for payment that have not yet been incorporated into the construction, such materials are on the site or stored at an approved location, and (b) payment received from the last payment application has been used to fully pay for all the laborers, subcontractors and materials reflected in that request, other than amounts that are in dispute and that are listed in the payment application with reasonable clarity as to the reason for withholding payment with the name, addresses and telephone number of the person whose request is being withheld . The payment application must contain the forgoing statement and the statement must be certified by CONTRACTOR as being true. In the event that CONTRACTOR withholds payment from a Subcontractor or Supplier, the same amount of money will be withheld from CONTRACTOR's payment until the issue is resolved by written agreement between them and then a joint check will be made payable to the person in question and CONTRACTOR in accordance with the settlement agreement, otherwise the money will be held by OWNER until a judgment is entered in favor of CONTRACTOR or the person, in which case the money will be paid according with said judgment. Nothing contained herein will indicate an intent to benefit any third persons who are not signatories to the Contract. 14 .6 CONSULTANT may refuse to approve the whole or any part of any payment if, in its opinion, it is unable to make such representations to OWNER as required this Section 14. It may also refuse to approve any payment, or it may void any prior payment application certification because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspection or tests to such extent as may be necessary in its opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.6.1 of Defective Work, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement, 14.6.2 the Work for which payment is requested cannot be verified, 14.6.3 claims of Liens have been filed or received, or there is reasonable evidence indicating the probable filing or receipt thereof, 14.6.4 the Contract Price has been reduced because of modifications, 14.6.5 OWNER has corrected Defective Work or completed the Work in accordance with Article 13. 14.6.6 of unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work, including failure to clean up as required by paragraphs 6.29 and 6.30, 14.6 .7 of persistent failure to cooperate with other contractors on the Project and persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, 14 .6.8 of liquidated damages payable by CONTRACTOR, or 14.6 .9 of any other violation of, or failure to comply with provisions of the Contract Documents. 14 .7 Prior to Final Acceptance, City Manager, with the approval of CONSULT ANT, may use any completed or substantially completed portions of the Work provided such use does not interfere with CONTRACTOR's completion of the Work.

It is agreed that if the City accepts payment from the Proposal/Bid Bond, that this sum is a fair estimate of the amount of damages the City will sustain in case the Respondent fails to sign the Contract Documents or fails to furnish the required Bonds and Insurance documentation. If the City does not accept the Proposal/Bid Bond, the City may proceed to sue for breach of contract if the Respondent fails to perform in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Each Governmental or quasi-governmental entity which uses this formal solicitation and resulting E-bid contract or agreement will establish its own contract/agreement, place its own orders, issue its own purchase orders, be invoiced there from, and make its own payments, determine shipping terms, and issue its own exemption certificates as required by the successful E-bidder(s)/proposer(s). 39. Non-Appropriation of Funds. In the event that no funds or insufficient funds are appropriated and budgeted or are otherwise unavailable in any fiscal period for payments due under any contract awarded pursuant to this solicitation, then the City, upon written notice to Successful E-bidder or their assignee of such occurrence, will have the unqualified right to terminate the contract without any penalty or expense. No guarantee, warranty or representation is made that any particular project(s) will be awarded to any Respondent(s). 40. Most Favored Public Entity. Respondent represents that the prices charged to City in the proposal do not exceed existing prices to other customers for the same or substantially similar items or services for comparable quantities under similar terms, conditions, wages, benefits, insurance coverage and any other material cost factors. If respondent’s prices decline, or should respondent, at any time during the term of a contract entered into with City, provide the same goods or services with the same comparable quantities under similar terms, 52 conditions, wages, benefits, insurance coverage and any ot her material cost factors, Respondent must immediately extend the same prices to City. 41. Confidential and Proprietary Information. Respondents may assert that some trade secrets, financial records, and proprietary or other confidential information in their unsolicited proposal are confidential information that they claim to be exempt from disclosure under applicable Florida public records laws. Such information may be included in the unsolicited proposal, but submitted in a separate, sealed binder, designat ed on the cover as CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS. A Respondent submitting materials claimed to be confidential must include a cover letter listing all material designated as confidential and clearly mark each page of any material believed to be a trade secret or other confidential information/document in all capital letters and bold font as CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS. If a document is not totally confidential but contains non -confidential and confidential information, the Respondent must provide a redacted copy of the document and an unredacted copy. In addition, the Respondent must prepare a list of all the documents claimed to be confidential or containing confidential information and on the next line under the description of each document the Respondent must cite the statutory provision that provides the basis for the Respondent’s claim that the document or a portion of the document is confidential and below the citation the Respondent must copy and paste the applicable statutory provision (this listing requirement will hereinafter be referred to as “properly list” or “properly listed” confidential document). The failure to properly list a confidential document or the failure to redact a confidential document that is only partially confidential will result in the waiver of any claim that the document is confidential or that the unredacted document contains confidential information. If any person or entity requests that the City produce or disclose any of said purported confidential information or documents, the City will advise the Respondent and afford the Respondent an opportunity to protect its assertion that said confidential information is exempt from production. If Respondent fails to timely authorize the production of the information or document and/or fails to timely seek a protective order, and/or is unsuccessful in obtaining a protective order, the City will produce the requested information or document. The City will not actively contest any request to disclose such alleged confidential information or document and the City cannot guarantee that the alleged confidential document or information may not be disclosed should it ultimately be determined not to be confidential under applicable Florida public records laws. The Respondent must indemnify the City for any damages and costs the City may incur due to the Respondent’s claim that its document or information is confidential. The City can only agree to advise the Respondent of such request and give the Respondent an opportunity, at Respondent’s sole and exclusive cost, to defend the request for disclosure of the confidential information or document in a Court of competent jurisdiction or other applicable forum. 42.

The award of any contract hereunder is subject to the provisions of Chapter 112, Florida State Statutes. Respondents must disclose with their Proposals, the name of any officer, director, partner, associate , or agent who is also an officer or employee of the City of South Miami or its agencies. SWORN STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 287.133 (3) (a), FLORIDA STATUTES, ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS. 1. This sworn statement is submitted to ____________________________________________________________________________ [print name of the public entity] by ____________________________________________________________________________ [print individual’s name and title] for___________________________________________________________________________ [print name of entity submitting sworn statement] whose business address is and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is ____________________ (If the entity has no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this sworn statement: ___________________________________________________.) 2. I understand that a “public entity crime” as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including, but not limited to , any bid, proposal or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation. 3. I understand that “convicted” or “conviction” as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (b), Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after J uly 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. 4. I understand that an “affiliate” as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (a), Florida Statutes, means: (a) A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or (b) An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term “affiliate” includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in any person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm’s length agreement, will be a prima facie case that one person controls 65 another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months will be considered an affiliate. 5. I understand that a “person” as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (e), Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which bids or proposal or applies to bid or proposal on contracts for the provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term “person” includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity. 6. Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement. [Indicate which statement applies.] _____ Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989. _____ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entit y crime subsequent to July 1, 1989. _____ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent of July 1, 1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor list. [attach a copy of the final order.] I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER FOR THE PUBLIC ENTITY IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 1 (ONE) ABOVE IS FOR THAT PUBLIC ENTITY ONLY, AND THAT THIS FORM IS VALID THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS FILED. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM REQUIRED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ENTITY PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT IN EXCESS OF THE THRESHOLD AMOUNT PROVIDED IN SECTION 287.017, FLORIDA STATUTES, FOR CATEGORY TWO OF ANY CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM. ____________________________________ [Signature] Sworn to and subscribed before me this __________ day of ___________________________, 20____.

ARTICLE 3–CORRELATION, INTERPRETATION, AND INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS 3.1 It is the intent of the Specifications and Drawings to describe a complete Project to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Contract Documents comprise the entire Contract between OWNER and CONTRACTOR. They may be altered only by a modification as defined in Article 1. 3.2 The Contract Documents are complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if called for by all the documents. If CONTRACTOR finds a conflict, error, or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, it must, before proceeding with the Work affected thereby, immediately call it to CONSULTANT’s attention in writing. The various Contract Documents are complementary; in case of conflict, error or discrepancy, the more stringent interpretation and requirement that will provide the maximum benefit to OWNER will apply 3.3 The words “furnish” and “furnish and install”, “install”, and “provide” or words with similar meaning will be interpreted, unless otherwise specifically stated, to mean “furnish and install complete in place and ready for service”. 3.4 Miscellaneous items and accessories which are not specifically mentioned, but which are essential to produce a complete and properly operating installation, or usable structure, providing the indicated functions, must be furnished, and installed without change in the Contract Price.

If CONTRACTOR is prevented from complying with this provision due to the Drawings or Specifications, CONTRACTOR must immediately notify CONSULTANT in writing of such limitations before proceeding with construction in the area where the problem exists. 3.7 Manufacturer’s literature, when referenced, must be dated, and numbered and is intended to establish the minimum requirements acceptable. Whenever reference is given to codes, or standard specifications or other data published by regulating agencies or accepted organizations, including but not limited to National Electrical Code, applicable State Building Code, Florida Building Code, Federal Specifications, ASTM Specifications, various institute specifications, and the like, it will be understood that such reference is to the latest edition including addenda in effect on the date of the Bid. 3.8 Brand names, where used in the technical specifications, are intended to denote the standard or quality required for the particular material or product. The term "equal" or "equivalent", when used in connection with brand names, will be interpreted to mean a material or product that is similar and equal in type, quality, size, capacity, composition, finish, color and other applicable characteristics to the material or product specified by trade name, and that is suitable for the same use capable of performing the same function, in the opinion of CONSULTANT, as the material or product so specified. Proposed equivalent 99 items must be approved by CONSULTANT before they are purchased or incorporated in the Work. (When a brand name, catalog number, model number, or other identification, is used without the phrase "or equal", CONTRACTOR must use the brand, make and model specified). 3.9 Throughout this agreement the male pronoun may be substituted for female and neuter and vice versa and the singular words substituted for plural and plural words substituted for singular wherever applicable. 3.10 All technical interpretations will be made by CONSULTANT as set forth in Section 9.3 below. 3.11 CONTRACTOR must advise CONSULTANT, prior to performing any work involving a conflict in the Contract Documents and CONSULTANT will make the final decision as to which of the documents will take precedence. If there is a conflict between or among the Contract Documents, only the latest version will apply and the latest version of the Contract Documents. CONSULTANT must use the following list of Contract Documents as a guide. These documents are set forth below in the order of their precedence so that all the documents listed above a given document sh ould have precedence over all the documents listed below it. (a) Change Orders (b) Amendments/addenda to Contract (c) Supplementary Conditions, if any (d) Contract with all Exhibits thereto (e) General Conditions (f) Written or figured dimensions (g) Scaled dimensions (h) Drawings of a larger scale (i) Drawings of a smaller scale (j) Drawings and Specifications are to be considered complementary to each other ARTICLE 4 – AVAILABILITY OF LANDS SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS REFERENCE POINTS Availability of Lands: 4.1 OWNER will furnish, as indicated in the Contract Documents, the lands upon which the Work is to be done, rights-of-way for access thereto, and such other lands which are designed for the use of CONTRACTOR.

Other access to such lands or rights-of-way for CONTRACTOR'S convenience will be the responsibility of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR must provide for all additional lands and access thereto that may be required for temporary construction facilities or storage of material and equipment. 4.2 The City Manager will, upon request, furnish to the Bidders, copies of all available boundary surveys and subsurface tests at no cost.

Any failure by CONTRACTOR to acquaint itself with the available information will not relieve it from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing Work. OWNER assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by CONTRACTOR on the basis of the information made available by OWNER/ CONSULTANT. Differing Site Conditions: 4.4 CONTRACTOR must within forty-eight (48) hours of its discovery, and before such conditions are disturbed, notify the City Manager in writing, of: 4.4.1 Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents, and 100 4.4.2 Unknown physical conditions at the site, of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally inherent in Work of the character provided for in this Contract. The City Manager will promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that such conditions do materially differ to the extent as to cause an increase or decrease in CONTRACTOR'S cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the Work under this Contract, an equitable adjustment will be made and the Contract modified in writing accordingly. 4.5 No claim of CONTRACTOR under this clause will be allowed unless CONTRACTOR has given the notice required in 4.4 above; provided, however, the time prescribed therefore may be extended by the City Manager, but only if done in writing signed by the City Manager or CONSULTANT.

If any Change Order causes an increase or decrease in CONTRACTOR'S cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the Work under this Contract, for which the City Manager and CONTRACTOR cannot reach a timely agreement, an equitable adjustment based on the cost of the Work will be made and the Contract modified accordingly. 11.5 If CONTRACTOR intends to assert a claim for an equitable adjustment or contest th e equitable adjustment made by CONSULTANT, it must, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of a written Change Order, submit to the City Manager and CONSULTANT a written notice including a statement setting forth the general nature and monetary extent of such claim for equitable adjustment, time extension requested and supporting data. In determining the cost of the Change Order, the costs will be limited to those listed in section 11.7 and 11.8. 11.6 No claim by CONTRACTOR for an equitable adjustment hereunder will be allowed if not submitted in accordance with this section or if asserted after final payment under this Contract. 11.7 The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract Price will be determined in one of the following ways: 11.7.1 By negotiated lump sum. 11.7.2 On the basis of the reasonable cost and savings that results from the change in the Work plus a mutually agreed upon fee to CONTRACTOR to cover overhead and profit not to exceed 15%. If CONTRACTOR disagrees with CONSULTANT’s determination of reasonable costs, the CONTRACT must provide a list of all costs together with backup documentation 11.8 The term cost of the Work means the sum of all direct extra costs necessarily incurred and paid by CONTRACTOR in the proper performance of the Change Order. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by City Manager, such costs must be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in Miami- Dade County and may only include the following items: 11.8.1 Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of CONTRACTOR in the performance of the Work described in the Change Order under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by City Manager and CONTRACTOR.

Payroll costs must be limited to salaries and wages, plus the costs of fringe benefits which may include social security contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll taxes, workers' compensation, health and retirement benefits, sick leave, vacation, and holiday pay applicable thereto. Such employees may include superintendents and foremen at the site. The expenses of performing Work after regular working hours, on Sunday or legal holidays will be included in the above only if authorized by OWNER and provided it was not in any way, whether in whole or in part the result of the fault of CONTRACTOR due to negligence of CONTRACTOR or those acting by or through him or due in whole or in part to Defective Work of CONTRACTOR. 11.8.2 Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including costs of transportation and storage, and manufacturers' field services required in connection therewith. CONTRACTOR must notify the City Manager of all cash discounts that are available and offer OWNER the opportunity to deposit funds with CONTRACTOR for the payment for items that offer a discount. Cash discounts will accrue to CONTRACTOR unless CONTRACTOR fails to timely notify the City Manager of the discounts or if OWNER deposits funds with CONTRACTOR with which to make payments in which cases the cash discounts will accrue to OWNER. All trade discounts, rebates and refunds, and all returns from sale of surplus 110 materials and equipment will accrue to OWNER, and CONTRACTOR must make provisions so that they may be obtained. 11.8.3 Payments made by CONTRACTOR to the Subcontractors for Work performed by Subcontractors. If required by City Manager, CONTRACTOR must obtain competitive bids from Subcontractors acceptable to him and must deliver such bids to City Manager who will then determine, with the advice of CONSULTANT, which Bids will be accepted. No subcontract may be a cost-plus contract unless approved in writing by the City Manager. If a Subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of Cost of Work plus a fee, the cost of the Work will be determined in accordance this section 11.8 and in such case the word “Subcontractor” will be substituted for the word “CONTRACTOR”. 11.8.4 Rentals of all construction equipment and machinery, except hand tools, and the parts thereof whether rented from CONTRACTOR or others in accordance with rental agreements approved by City Manager with the advice of CONSULTANT, and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading, installation, dismantling and removal thereof - all in accordance with terms of said rental agreements.

When both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the net will be computed to include overhead and profit, identified separately, for both additions and credit, provided however, CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to claim lost profits for any Work not performed.

Liquidated damages are hereby fixed and agreed upon between the parties, recognizing the impossibility of precise ly ascertaining the amount of damages that will be sustained as a consequence of such delay, and both parties desiring to obviate any question or dispute concerning the amount of said damages and the cost and effect of the failure of CONTRACTOR to complete the Contract on time.

Any claim for an extension in the CONTRACT TIME will be based on written notice delivered to the City Manager and CONSULTANT within five (5) business days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim including supporting data. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Time will be evaluated and recommended by CONSULTANT, with final approval by the City Manager. Any change in the Contract Time resulting from any such claim must be incorporated in a written Change Order. 12.5 All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. 12.6 No damage claim for delay is allowed and CONTRACTOR’s sole remedy for delay caused by OWNER will be an extension of time for the period of delay. 12.7 Extensions to the Contract Time for delays caused by the effects of inclement weather will not be granted unless the weather was unusual for South Florida and could not have been anticipated, the abnormal weather is documented by records from the national weather service and the abnormal weather is documented to have had a substantial affected on the construction schedule. 12.8 No Damages for Delay: CONTRACTOR agrees that he will not have any claim for damages due to delay unless the delay exceeds 6 months, whether individually or cumulatively, and then the damages will be limited to increased cost of materials that were unanticipated and that woul d not have been incurred but for the delay. Other than as set forth above, the only remedy for any delay will be limited to an extension of time as provided for in Section 12.4 which will be the sole and exclusive remedy for such resulting delay. Other than as set forth above, CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or payment or compensation of any kind from OWNER for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to, costs of acceleration or inefficiency, overhead or lost profits, arising because of delay, disruption, interference or hindrance from any cause whatsoever, whether such delay, disruption, interference or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable. 12.9 CONTRACTOR waives all claims that are not presented to City Manager in writing on or before the 21st day following the date of the event upon which the claim is based. 12.10 Dispute Resolution: If any dispute concerning a question of fact arises under the Contract, other than termination for default or convenience, CONTRACTOR, and the city department responsible for the administration of the Contract will make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute.

CONTRACTOR guarantees and unconditionally warrants through either the manufacturer or CONTRACTOR directly, all materials and equipment furnished and Work performed for three (3) years from the date of Final Acceptance as indicated in CONSULTANT Letter of Recommendation of Acceptance, if issued, the Certificate of Occupancy, if issued, or the Certificate of Completion, if issued by City Manager, whichever is applicable and if more than one is applicable, the one that is issued last, for latent Defective Work. The City Manager will give notice of observed defects with reasonable promptness. In the event that CONTRACTOR should fail to commence to correct such Defective Work within ten (10) calendar days after having received written notice of the defect, or should CONTRACTOR commence the corrective work, but fail to prosecute the corrective work continuously and diligently and in accordance with the Contract Documents, applicable law, rules and regulations, the City Manager may declare an event of default, terminate the Contract in whole or in part and cause the Defective Work to be removed or corrected and to complete the Work at CONTRACTOR's expense, and the City Manager will charge CONTRACTOR the cost thereby incurred.

If the manufacturer’s warranty is issued to the respondent/contractor, Respondent/Contractor must assign it to the City. ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION.

All progress payment applications after the first progress payment must be accompanied by partial releases of lien executed by all persons, firms and corporations who have furnished labor, services or materials incorporated into the work during the period of time for which the previous progress payment was made, releasing such claims and lien rights, if any, of those persons.

CONTRACTOR must replace at its expense any stored materials paid for which are either damaged or stolen before installation. CONSULTANT will within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of each partial payment estimate, either certifying in writing its approval of payment and present the partial payment estimate to the City Manager, or return the partial payment estimate to CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing his 113 reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the partial payment estimate. OWNER, will within thirty (30) calendar days of presentation to it of any approved partial payment estimate, pay CONTRACTOR a progress payment on the basis of the approved partial payment estimate.

Within 30 calendar days after reaching substantial completion of the Project, City Manager will prepare a punch list of items that need to be completed and, within 5 days after the list of items has been developed and reviewed, the City Manager will deliver the punch list to CONTRACTOR. If the Project relates to more than one building or structure, or involves a multiphase project, the City Manager will prepare a separate punch list for each building and structure and if it is a multiphase project, for each phase, within 30 days of substantial completion of such building, structure, and phase . [See Sec. 255.07, Fla. Stat.] The final contract completion date may not be less than 30 days after the delivery of the list of items. If the list is not timely delivered to CONTRACTOR, the contract time for completion must be extended by the number of days OWNER exceeded the required delivery date. Contractor's Warranty of Title 14.3 CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by an Application for Payment whether the Work, material or equipment is incorporated in the Project or not, will have passed to OWNER prior to the making of the Application for Payment, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interest and encumbrances (hereafter in these General Conditions referred to as "Liens"); and that no Work, materials or equipment, covered by an Application for Payment, will have been acquired by CONTRACTOR or by any other person performing the Work at the site or furnishing materials and equipment for the Project, under or pursuant to an agreement under which an interest therein or encumbrance thereon is retained by the seller or otherw ise imposed by CONTRACTOR or such other person. Approval of Payment 14.4 CONSULTANT’s approval of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by him to OWNER, based on CONSULTANT’s on site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced professional and on his review of the Application for Payment and supporting data, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated in the Application for Payment; that, to the best his knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning Project upon substantial completion as defined in Article 1, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Docume nts and any qualifications stated in his approval); and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount approved. However, the approval of such payment does not mean and may not imply that CONSULTANT made exhaustive or continuous on-site observations to check the quality or the quantity of the Work, or that he has reviewed the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction or that he has made any examination to ascertain how or for what purpose CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid or to be paid to him, or that title to any Work, materials, or equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear of any liens. 14.5 CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to be paid unless: (a) the labor and materials listed on a payment application have been used in the construction of this Work or, as to materials included in the request for payment that have not yet been incorporated into the construction, such materials are on the site or stored at an approved location, and (b) payment received from the last payment application has been used to fully pay for all the laborers, subcontractors and materials reflected in that request, other than amounts that are in dispute and that are listed in the payment application with reasonable clarity as to the reason for withholding payment with 114 the name, addresses and telephone number of the person whose request is being withheld. The payment application must contain the forgoing statement and the statement must be certified by CONTRACTOR as being true. In the event that CONTRACTOR withholds payment from a Subcontractor or Supplier, the same amount of money will be withheld from CONTRACTOR’s payment until the issue is resolved by written agreement between them and then a joint check will be made payable to the person in question and CONTRACTOR in accordance with the settlement agreement, otherwise the money will be held by OWNER until a judgment is entered in favor of CONTRACTOR or the person, in which case the money will be paid according with said judgment. Nothing contained herein will indicate an intent to benefit any third persons who are not signatories to the Contract. 14.6 CONSULTANT may refuse to approve the whole or any part of any payment if, in its opinion, it is unable to make such representations to OWNER as required this Section 14. It may also refuse to approve any payment, or it may void any prior payment application certification because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspection or tests to such extent as may be necessary in its opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.6.1 of Defective Work, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement, 14.6.2 the Work for which payment is requested cannot be verified, 14.6.3 claims of Liens have been filed or received, or there is reasonable evidence indicating the probable filing or receipt thereof, 14.6.4 the Contract Price has been reduced because of modifications, 14.6.5 OWNER has corrected Defective Work or completed the Work in accordance with Article 13. 14.6.6 of unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work, including failure to clean up as required by paragraphs 6.29 and 6.30, 14.6.7 of persistent failure to cooperate with other contractors on the Project and persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, 14.6.8 of liquidated damages payable by CONTRACTOR, or 14.6.9 of any other violation of, or failure to comply with provisions of the Contract Documents. 14.7 Prior to Final Acceptance, City Manager, with the approval of CONSULTANT, may use any completed or substantially completed portions of the Work provided such use does not interfere with CONTRACTOR’s completion of the Work. Such use will not constitute an acceptance of such portions of the Work. 14.8 The City Manager has the right to enter the premises where the Work is being performed for the purpose of doing Work not covered by the Contract Documents. This provision may not be construed as relieving CONTRACTOR of the sole responsibility for the care and protection of the Work, or the restoration of any damaged Work except such as may be caused by agents or employees of OWNER. 14.9 Upon completion and acceptance of the Work CONSULTANT will issue a Certificate attached to the Final Application for Payment that the Work has been accepted by it under the conditions of the Contract Documents. The entire balance found to be due CONTRACTOR, including the retained percentages, but except such sums as may be lawfully retained by OWNER, will be paid to CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) calendar days of completion and acceptance of the Work. 14.10 Upon The awarded CONTRACTOR will be strongly encouraged to register as an ePayables Vendor with OWNER.

Acceptance of Final Payment as Release 14.11 The Acceptance by CONTRACTOR of Final Payment will be and will operate as a release to OWNER and a waiver of all claims and all liability to CONTRACTOR other than claims previously filed and unresolved. The waiver includes all things done or furnished in connection with the Work and for every act and neglect of OWNER and others relating to or arising out of this Work. Any payment, however, 115 final, or otherwise, will not release CONTRACTOR or its sureties from any obligations under the Contract Documents or the Performance Bond and Payment Bonds. 14.12 CONSULTANT may void any certification of Substantial Completion or Final Completion of the Work as may be necessary in his opinion to protect OWNER from loss if he determines, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspection or tests, that: 14.12.1 the Work is defective, or that the completed Work has been damaged due to th e fault of CONTRACTOR or any individual or entity operating under or through it requiring correction or replacement to the extent that the project is no longer Substantially Completed, or in the case of Final Completion certification, is no longer Finally Competed. 14.12.2 the Work necessary to be completed for the purpose of certifying the work as being Substantially Completed or Finally Completed cannot be verified, 14.12.3 claims or Liens have been filed or received, or there is reasonable evidence indicating the probable filing or receipt thereof that, if valid and paid, would reduce the amount owing to CONTRACTOR by 20% in the case of Substantial Completion and 5% in the case of Final Completion. 14.12.4 there is Defective Work the value of which, if deducted from the contract price would reduce the amount owing to CONTRACTOR by 20% in the case of Substantial Completion and 5% in the case of Final Completion. 14.13 If CONSULTANT de-certifies any portion of the Work that was certified (“Initial Certific ation”) by CONSULTANT, CONTRACTOR must repay to OWNER any money paid as a result of said Initial Certification being issued which will be paid only when the decertified work is re-certified.

If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct and indirect costs of completing the Project, including compensation for additional professional services, such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR or the Surety on the Performance Bond must pay the difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by OWNER will be determined by CONSULTANT and incorporated in a Change Order. If after termination of CONTRACTOR under this Section, it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction for any reason that CONTRACTOR was not in default, the rights and obligations of OWNER and CONTRACTOR will be the same as if the termination had been issued pursuant to Section 15.5 15.3 Where CONTRACTOR'S services have been so terminated by the City Manager said termination will not affect any rights of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys by OWNER due CONTRACTOR will not release CONTRACTOR from liability. 116 15.4 Upon seven (7) calendar days’ written notice to CONTRACTOR and CONSULTANT, the City Manager may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, elect to terminate the Contract for the convenience of OWNER.

Any actual or prospective bidder who perceives itself to be aggrieved in connection with any formal solicitation or who intends to contest or object to any bid specifications or any bid solicitation shall file a written notice of intent to file a protest with the City Clerk’s office within three calendar days prior to the date set for opening of bids. A notice of intent to file a protest is considered filed when received by the City Clerk’s office by e-mail or, if hand delivered, when stamped with the City Clerk’s receipt stamp containing the date and time of receipt of a notice of intent to file a protest. Any actual responsive and responsible bidder who perceives itself to be aggrieved in connection with the recommended award of a contract and who wishes to protest the award, shall file a written notice of intent to file a protest with the City Clerk’s office within three calendar days after the City Commission meeting at which the recommendation is considered for action. A notice of intent to file a protest is considered filed when received by the City Clerk’s office by e-mail or, if hand delivered, when stamped with the City Clerk’s receipt stamp containing the date and time of receipt. ii. Protest of solicitation. A protest of the solicitation or award must be in writing (“Protest Letter”) and submitted to the City Clerk’s office within five calendar days after the date of the filing of the notice of intent to file a protest.

The award of any contract hereunder is subject to the provisions of Chapter I 12, Florida State Statutes. Respondents must disclose with their Proposals, the name of any officer, director, partner, associate, or agent who is also an officer or employee of the City of South Miami or its agencies . SWORN STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 287.133 (3) (a), FLORIDA STATUTES, ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS. I. This sworn statement is submitted to CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI [print name of the public entity] CESAR DE LUNA, VP-CGC by ___________________________________ _ [print individual's name and title] for ____________________________________ _ [print name of entity submitting sworn statement) whose business address is 300 PALERMO AVENUE, 2ND FLOOR, CORAL GABLES FL 33134 and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is 26-4622023 (If the entity has no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this sworn statement: _____________________ .) 2 . I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 ( I )(g), Florida Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of busin e ss with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including, but not limited to , any bid, proposal or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud , theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation. 3. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (I) (b), Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July I, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non -jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. 4. I understand that an "affiliate " as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (I) (a), Florida Statutes, means: (a) A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or (b) An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in any person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm 's length agreement, will be a prima facie case that one person controls 141 another person. A person who knowingly enters into a jo int venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months will be considered an affiliate . 5. I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (I) (e), Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the lega l power to enter into a binding contract and which bids or proposal or applies to bid or proposal on contracts for the provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term "person" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity. 6. Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked be low is true in relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement. [Indicate which statement applies.] ~ Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July I, 1989 . __ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July I, 1989. __ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent of July I, 1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Fina l Order entered by the Hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor list. [attach a copy of the final order.] I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER FOR THE PUBLIC ENT ITY IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH I (ONE) ABOVE IS FOR THAT PUBLIC ENT ITY ONLY, AND THAT THIS FORM IS VALID THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS FILED . I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM REQUIRED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ENTITY PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT IN EXCESS OF THE THRESHOLD AMOUNT PROVIDED IN SECTION 287 .017 , FLORIDA STATUTES, FOR CATEGORY TWO OF ANY CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM .

Acceptance of any such Subcontractor, person or organization will not constitute a waiver of any right of OWNER or CONSULTANT to reject defective Work, material or equipment, or any Work, material, or equipment not in conformance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 2.11 If, prior to the Notice of Award, the City Manager or CONSULTANT has reasonable objection to any Subcontractor, person or organization listed, the apparent low Bidder may, prior to Notice of Award, submit an acceptable substitute without an increase in its bid price. 2.12 The apparent silence of the Contract Documents as to any detail, or the apparent omission from them of a detailed description concerning any Work to be done and materials to be furnished, will be regarded as meaning that only best practices are to prevail and only materials and workmanship of the best quality are to be used in the performance of the Work. ARTICLE 3 CORRELATION, INTERPRETATION, AND INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS 3.1 It is the intent of the Specifications and Drawings to describe a complete Project to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Contract Documents comprise the entire Contract between OWNER and CONTRACTOR. They may be altered only by a modification as defined in Article 1. 3.2 The Contract Documents are complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if called for by all the documents. If CONTRACTOR finds a conflict, error, or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, it must, before proceeding with the Work affected thereby, immediately call it to CONSULTANT attention in writing. The various Contract Documents are complementary; in case of conflict, error or discrepancy, the more stringent interpretation and requirement that will provide the maximum benefit to OWNER will apply 3.3 will be interpreted, unless otherwise sp 3.4 Miscellaneous items and accessories which are not specifically mentioned, but which are essential to produce a complete and properly operating installation, or usable structure, providing the indicated functions, must be furnished, and installed without change in the Contract Price. Such miscellaneous items and accessories must be of the same quality standards, including material, style, finish, strength, class, weight, and other applicable characteristics, as specified for the major component of which the miscellaneous item or accessory is an essential part, and will be approved by CONSULTANT before installation.

If CONTRACTOR is prevented from complying with this provision due to the Drawings or Specifications, CONTRACTOR must immediately notify CONSULTANT in writing of such limitations before proceeding with construction in the area where the problem exists. 3.7 must be dated, and numbered and is intended to establish the minimum requirements acceptable. Whenever reference is given to codes, or standard specifications or other data published by regulating agencies or accepted organizations, including but not limited to National Electrical Code, applicable State Building Code, Florida Building Code, Federal Specifications, ASTM Specifications, various institute specifications, and the like, it will be understood that such reference is to the latest edition including addenda in effect on the date of the Bid. 3.8 Brand names, where used in the technical specifications, are intended to denote the standard or quality required for the particular material or product. The term "equal" or "equivalent", when used in connection with brand names, will be interpreted to mean a material or product that is similar and equal in type, quality, size, capacity, composition, finish, color and other applicable characteristics to the material or product specified by trade name, and that is suitable for the same use capable of performing the same function, in the opinion of CONSULTANT, as the material or product so specified. Proposed equivalent 162 items must be approved by CONSULTANT before they are purchased or incorporated in the Work. (When a brand name, catalog number, model number, or other identification, is used without the phrase "or equal", CONTRACTOR must use the brand, make and model specified). 3.9 Throughout this agreement the male pronoun may be substituted for female and neuter and vice versa and the singular words substituted for plural and plural words substituted for singular wherever applicable. 3.10 All technical interpretations will be made by CONSULTANT as set forth in Section 9.3 below. 3.11 CONTRACTOR must advise CONSULTANT, prior to performing any work involving a conflict in the Contract Documents and CONSULTANT will make the final decision as to which of the documents will take precedence.

OWNER assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by CONTRACTOR on the basis of the information made available by OWNER/ CONSULTANT. Differing Site Conditions: 4.4 CONTRACTOR must within forty-eight (48) hours of its discovery, and before such conditions are disturbed, notify the City Manager in writing, of: 4.4.1 Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents, and 163 4.4.2 Unknown physical conditions at the site, of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally inherent in Work of the character provided for in this Contract.

Such costs incurred by OWNER will be determined by CONSULTANT and incorporated in a Change Order.
