MEMORANDUM
To: CRDC Board Members
From: Kent Collins, P.E., Director of Public Works
Date: October 24, 2018
Reference: Construction Contract for Bank Stabilization of Grapevine Creek in Hunterwood Park
2030: Sustainable City Government, Goal 3
Excellent and Well-maintained City Infrastructure and Facilities
General:
•We received 6 bids.
•Joel Brown Co. was the lowest qualified bidder in the amount of $964,047.00
•The contract bid was 89 days.
Introduction:
This agenda item is being presented to award Bid #0818-03 to Joel Brown Co. for construction of
natural creek stabilization and a natural trail in Hunterwood Park.
Analysis:
In 2011, the Parks Department completed Phase 1 of the erosion control project, which consisted of
a gabion retaining wall structure around the playground area. This project will be considered Phase
2, which is downstream of the playground. Over the years, Grapevine Creek has continued to
experience channel incising and bank/slope failures. The scope of this project will provide drop
structures in several locations which are used to control the grade along the creek by controlling the
energy and velocities of the stream to reduce/eliminate future erosion and undercutting of the banks.
Retaining walls utilizing natural erosion control materials will be built in the areas where the slope is
failing. We will also add an additional trail to tie into the existing trails that meander throughout the
park. On August 23rd, 2018, the City received 6 bids ranging from $964,047 to $1,556,438.00, with
Joel Brown Co. being the lowest qualified bidder. The bid included a contract time of 89 days to
complete the project.
Legal Review:
The City’s standard construction contract has been reviewed by the City Attorney periodically, with
changes made as requested.
2
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this Agenda item is $964,047.00 as designated in CRDC fund balance.
Recommendation:
The Engineering Department recommends approval of this contract with Joel Brown Co.

liquidated damages applicable to such delays. if and

the Owner has withheld payment, the Owner shall
promptly release to the Contractor those funds
withheld, but no longer applicable, as liquidated
damages.

scheduled completion date, the Owner shall pay to the

calendar day that substantial completion is certified in
advance of the scheduled completion date.

Contractor to the Owner, and no damages, costs or
extra compensation shall be allowed or paid by the
Owner to the Contractor for any delay or hindrance
from any cause in the progress or completion of the
Work or this Contract. The Contractor’s sole remedy
in the event of any delay or hindrance shall be to
request time extensions by written change orders as
provided for hereinafter. Should the Contractor be
delayed by an act of the Owner, or should the Owner
order a stoppage of the Work for sufficient cause, an
extension of time shall be granted by the Owner by
written authorization upon written application, which
extension shall not be unreasonably denied, to
compensate for the delay.
3.1.5 The Owner shall have the authority to
suspend the Work wholly or in part for such period or
periods of time as it may deem appropriate due to
unsuitable conditions considered unfavorable for the
proper prosecution of the Work or for the failure of the
Contractor to carry out instructions from the Owner or

3.2 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
3.2.1 "Substantial Completion" shall mean
that stage in the progression of the Work when the
Work is sufficiently complete in accordance with this
Contract that the Owner can enjoy beneficial use or
occupancy of the Work and can utilize the Work for
its intended purpose, even though minor
miscellaneous work and/or adjustment may be
required.
3.3 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
3.3.1 All limitations of time set forth in the
Contract Documents are of the essence of this
Contract.
ARTICLE IV
CONTRACT PRICE
4.1 THE CONTRACT PRICE
4.1.1 The Owner shall pay, and the Contractor
shall accept, as full and complete payment for all of
the Work required herein, the fixed sum of
$_______________.
The sum set forth in this Paragraph 4.1 shall constitute
the Contract Price which shall not be modified except
by written Change Order as provided in this Contract.
ARTICLE V
PAYMENT OF THE CONTRACT PRICE
5.1 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
5.1.1 Within ten (10) calendar days of the
effective date hereof, the Contractor shall submit to the
Owner and to the Architect a Schedule of Values
allocating the Contract Price to the various portions of
the Work. The Contractor's Schedule of Values shall
be prepared in such form, with such detail, and
supported by such data as the Architect or the Owner
may require to substantiate its accuracy. The
Contractor shall not imbalance its Schedule of Values
nor artificially inflate any element thereof. The
violation of this provision by the Contractor shall
constitute a material breach of this Contract. The
Schedule of Values shall be used only as a basis for
the Contractor's Applications for Payment and shall
only constitute such basis after it has been
acknowledged and accepted in writing by the
Architect and the Owner.
5.2 PAYMENT PROCEDURE
5.2.1 The Owner shall pay the Contract Price
to the Contractor as provided below.
5.2.2 PROGRESS PAYMENTS - Based upon the
Contractor's Applications for Payment submitted to
the Architect and upon Certificates for Payment
subsequently issued to the Owner by the Architect, the
Owner shall make progress payments to the Contractor
on account of the Contract Price.
5.2.3 On or before the 25th day of each month
after commencement of the Work, the Contractor shall
submit an Application for Payment for the period
ending the 15th day of the month to the Architect in
such form and manner, and with such supporting data
and content, as the Owner or the Architect may
require. Therein, the Contractor may request payment
for ninety percent (90%) of that portion of the Contract
Price properly allocable to Contract requirements
properly provided, labor, materials and equipment
properly incorporated in the Work, less the total
amount of previous payments received from the
Owner. Such Application for Payment shall be signed
by the Contractor and shall constitute the Contractor's
representation that the Work has progressed to the
level for which payment is requested in accordance
with the Schedule of Values, that the Work has been
properly installed or performed in full compliance
with this Contract, and that the Contractor knows of
no reason why payment should not be made as
requested. Thereafter, the Architect will review the
Application for Payment and may also review the
Work at the Project site or elsewhere to determine
whether the quantity and quality of the Work is as
represented in the Application for Payment and is as
required by this Contract. The Architect shall
determine and certify to the Owner the amount
properly owing to the Contractor. The Owner shall
make partial payments on account of the Contract
Price to the Contractor within thirty (30) days
following the Architect's receipt and approval of each
Application for Payment. The amount of each partial
payment shall be the amount certified for payment by
the Architect less such amounts, if any, otherwise
owing by the Contractor to the Owner or which the
Owner shall have the right to withhold as authorized
by this Contract. The Architect's certification of the
Contractor's Application for Payment shall not
BID Q-SAMPLE SAMPLE
CITY OF COPPELL PURCHASING DEPARTMENT 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD COPPELL, TEXAS 75019 Page 6
preclude the Owner from the exercise of any of its
rights as set forth in Paragraph 5.3 hereinbelow.
5.2.4 The Contractor warrants that title to all
Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass
to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The
Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an
Application for Payment, all Work for which
payments have been received from the Owner shall be
free and clear of liens, claims, security interest or other
encumbrances in favor of the Contractor or any other
person or entity whatsoever.
5.2.5 The Contractor shall promptly pay each
Subcontractor out of the amount paid to the Contractor
on account of such Subcontractor's Work, the amount
to which such Subcontractor is entitled. In the event
the Owner becomes informed that the Contractor has
not paid a Subcontractor as herein provided, the
Owner shall have the right, but not the duty, to issue
future checks in payment to the Contractor of amounts
otherwise due hereunder naming the Contractor and
such Subcontractor as joint payees. Such joint check
procedure, if employed by the Owner, shall create no
rights in favor of any person or entity beyond the right
of the named payees to payment of the check and shall
not be deemed to commit the Owner to repeat the
procedure in the future.
5.2.6 No progress payment, nor any use or
occupancy of the Project by the owner, shall be
interpreted to constitute an acceptance of any Work
not in strict accordance with this Contract.
5.3 WITHHELD PAYMENT
5.3.1 The Owner may decline to make
payment, may withhold funds, and, if necessary, may
demand the return of some or all of the amounts
previously paid to the Contractor, to protect the Owner
from loss because of:
(a) defective Work not remedied by the
Contractor nor, in the opinion of the
Owner, likely to be remedied by the
Contractor;
(b) claims of third parties against the Owner
or the Owner's property;
(c) failure by the Contractor to pay
Subcontractors or others in a prompt and
proper fashion;
(d) evidence that the balance of the Work
cannot be completed in accordance with
the Contract for the unpaid balance of the
Contract Price,
(e) evidence that the Work will not be
completed in the time required for
substantial or final completion;
(f) persistent failure to carry out the Work in
accordance with the Contract;
(g) damage to the Owner or a third party to
whom the Owner is, or may be, liable.
In the event that the Owner makes
written demand upon the Contractor for amounts
previously paid by the Owner as contemplated in this
Subparagraph 5.3.1, the Contractor shall promptly
comply with such demand. The Owner shall have no
duty to third parties to withhold payment to the
Contractor and shall incur no liability for a failure to
withhold funds.
5.4 UNEXCUSED FAILURE TO PAY
5.4.1 If within fifteen (15) days after the date
established herein for payment to the Contractor by the
Owner, the Owner, without cause or basis hereunder,
fails to pay the Contractor any amount then due and
payable to the Contractor, then the Contractor may
after ten (10) additional days' written notice to the
Owner and the Architect, and without prejudice to any
other available rights or remedies it may have, stop the
Work until payment of those amounts due from the
Owner have been received. Late payments shall not
accrue interest or other late charges.
5.5 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
5.5.1 When the Contractor believes that the
Work is substantially complete, the Contractor shall
submit to the Architect a list of items to be completed
or corrected. When the Architect on the basis of an
inspection determines that the Work is in fact
substantially complete, it will prepare a Certificate of
Substantial Completion which shall establish the date
of Substantial Completion, shall state the
responsibilities of the Owner and the Contractor for
Project security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage
to the Work, and insurance, and shall fix the time
within which the Contractor shall complete the items
listed therein. Guarantees required by the Contract
shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion
of the Work. The Certificate of Substantial
BID Q-SAMPLE SAMPLE
CITY OF COPPELL PURCHASING DEPARTMENT 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD COPPELL, TEXAS 75019 Page 7
Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and the
Contractor for their written acceptance of the
responsibilities assigned to them in such certificate.
Upon Substantial Completion of the Work, and
execution by both the Owner and the Contractor of the
Certificate of Substantial Completion, the Owner shall
pay the Contractor an amount sufficient to increase
total payments to the Contractor to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Contract Price less three
hundred percent (300%) of the reasonable cost as
determined by the Owner and the Architect for
completing all incomplete Work, correcting and
bringing into conformance all defective and
nonconforming Work, and handling all unsettled
claims.
5.6 COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
5.6.1 When all of the Work is finally complete
and the Contractor is ready for a final inspection, it
shall notify the Owner and the Architect thereof in
writing. Thereupon, the Architect will make final
inspection of the Work and, if the Work is complete in
full accordance with this Contract and this Contract
has been fully performed, the Architect will promptly
issue a final Certificate for Payment certifying to the
Owner that the Project is complete and the Contractor
is entitled to the remainder of the unpaid Contract
Price, less any amount withheld pursuant to this
Contract. If the Architect is unable to issue its final
Certificate for Payment and is required to repeat its
final inspection of the Work, the Contractor shall bear
the cost of such repeat final inspection(s) which cost
may be deducted by the Owner from the Contractor's
final payment.
5.6.1.1 If the Contractor fails to achieve final
completion within the time fixed therefor by the
Architect in its Certificate of Substantial Completion,
the Contractor shall pay the Owner the sum set forth
hereinabove as liquidated damages per day for each
and every calendar day of unexcused delay in
achieving final completion beyond the date set forth
herein for final completion of the Work. Any sums
due and payable hereunder by the Contractor shall be
payable, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages
representing an estimate of delay damages likely to be
sustained by the Owner, estimated at or before the time
of executing this Contract. When the Owner
reasonably believes that final completion will be
inexcusably delayed, the Owner shall be entitled, but
not required, to withhold from any amounts otherwise
due the Contractor an amount then believed by the
Owner to be adequate to recover liquidated damages
applicable to such delays. If and when the Contractor
overcomes the delay in achieving final completion, or
any part thereof, for which the Owner has withheld
payment, the Owner shall promptly release to the
Contractor those funds withheld, but no longer
applicable, as liquidated damages.
5.6.2 The Contractor shall not be entitled to
final payment unless and until it submits to the
Architect its affidavit that all payrolls, invoices for
materials and equipment, and other liabilities
connected with the Work for which the Owner, or the
Owner's property might be responsible, have been
fully paid or otherwise satisfied; releases and waivers
of lien from all Subcontractors of the Contractor and
of any and all other parties required by the Architect
or the Owner; consent of Surety, if any, to final
payment. If any third party fails or refuses to provide
a release of claim or waiver of lien as required by the
Owner, the Contractor shall furnish a bond satisfactory
to the Owner to discharge any such lien or indemnify
the Owner from liability.
5.6.3 The Owner shall make final payment of
all sums due the Contractor within ten (10) days of the
Architect's execution of a final Certificate for
Payment.
5.6.4 Acceptance of final payment shall
constitute a waiver of all claims against the Owner by
the Contractor except for those claims previously
made in writing against the Owner by the Contractor,
pending at the time of final payment, and identified in
writing by the Contractor as unsettled at the time of its
request for final payment.
5.6.5 Under no circumstance shall Contractor
be entitled to receive interest on any payments or
monies due Contractor by the Owner, whether the
amount on which the interest may accrue is timely,
late, wrongfully withheld, or an assessment of
damages of any kind.

completion, will receive and forward to the Owner for
the Owner's review and records, written warranties
and related documents required by this Contract and
will issue a final Certificate for Payment upon
compliance with the requirements of this Contract.
8.2.9 The Architect's decisions in matters
relating to aesthetic effect shall be final if consistent
with the intent of this Contract.
8.3 CLAIMS BY THE CONTRACTOR
8.3.1 The Architect shall determine all claims
and matters in dispute between the Contractor and
Owner with regard to the execution, progress, or
sufficiency of the Work or the interpretation of the
Contract Documents, including but not limited to the
plans and specifications. Any dispute shall be
submitted in writing to the Architect within seven (7)
days of the event or occurrence or the first appearance
of the condition giving rise to the claim or dispute who
shall render a written decision within a reasonable
time thereafter. The Architect’s decisions shall be
final and binding on the parties. In the event that either
party objects to the Architect’s determination as to any
submitted dispute, that party shall submit a written
objection to the Architect and the opposing party
BID Q-SAMPLE SAMPLE
CITY OF COPPELL PURCHASING DEPARTMENT 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD COPPELL, TEXAS 75019 Page 13
within ten (10) days of receipt of the Architect’s
written determination in order to preserve the
objection. Failure to so object shall constitute a waiver
of the objection for all purposes.
8.3.2 Pending final resolution of any claim of
the Contractor, the Contractor shall diligently proceed
with performance of this Contract and the Owner shall
continue to make payments to the Contractor in
accordance with this Contract.
8.3.3 CLAIMS FOR CONCEALED, LATENT OR
UNKNOWN CONDITIONS - The Contractor expressly
represents that it has been provided with an adequate
opportunity to inspect the Project site and thoroughly
review the Contract Documents and plans and
specifications prior to submission of its bid and the
Owner’s acceptance of the bid. Subject to the
conditions hereof, Contractor assumes full
responsibility and risk for any concealed, latent or
unknown condition which may affect the Work. No
claims for extra work or additional compensation shall
be made by Contractor in connection with concealed,
latent or unknown conditions except as expressly
provided herein. Should concealed, latent or unknown
conditions encountered in the performance of the
Work (a) below the surface of the ground or (b) in an
existing structure be at variance with the conditions
indicated by this Contract, or should unknown
conditions of an unusual nature differing materially
from those ordinarily encountered in the area and
generally recognized as inherent in Work of the
character provided for in this Contract, be
encountered, the Contract Price shall be equitably
adjusted by Change Order upon the written notice and
claim by either party made within seven (7) days after
the first observance of the condition. As a condition
precedent to the Owner having any liability to the
Contractor for concealed or unknown conditions, the
Contractor must give the Owner and the Architect
written notice of, and an opportunity to observe, the
condition prior to disturbing it. The failure by the
Contractor to make the written notice and claim as
provided in this Subparagraph shall constitute a waiver
by the Contractor of any claim arising out of or relating
to such concealed, latent or unknown condition and the
Contractor thereby assumes all risks and additional
costs associated therewith.
8.3.4 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL COSTS - If the
Contractor wishes to make a claim for an increase in
the Contract Price, as a condition precedent to any
liability of the Owner therefor, the Contractor shall
give the Architect written notice of such claim within
seven (7) days after the occurrence of the event, or the
first appearance of the condition, giving rise to such
claim. Such notice shall be given by the Contractor
before proceeding to execute any additional or
changed Work. The failure by the Contractor to give
such notice and to give such notice prior to executing
the Work shall constitute a waiver of any claim for
additional compensation.
8.3.4.1 In connection with any claim by the
Contractor against the Owner for compensation in
excess of the Contract Price, any liability of the Owner
for the Contractor's costs shall be strictly limited to
direct costs incurred by the Contractor and shall in no
event include indirect costs or consequential damages
of the Contractor. The Owner shall not be liable to the
Contractor for claims of third parties, including
Subcontractors. The Owner shall not be liable to the
Contractor for any claims based upon delay to the
Contractor for any reason whatsoever including any
act or neglect on the part of the Owner.
8.3.5 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL TIME - If the
Contractor is delayed in progressing any task which at
the time of the delay is then critical or which during
the delay becomes critical, as the sole result of any act
or neglect to act by the Owner or someone acting in
the Owner's behalf, or by changes ordered in the Work,
unusual delay in transportation, unusually adverse
weather conditions not reasonably anticipated, fire or
any causes beyond the Contractor's control, then the
date for achieving Substantial Completion of the Work
shall be extended upon the written notice and claim of
the Contractor to the Owner and the Architect, for such
reasonable time as the Architect may determine. Any
notice and claim for an extension of time by the
Contractor shall be made not more than seven (7) days
after the occurrence of the event or the first appearance
of the condition giving rise to the claim and shall set
forth in detail the Contractor's basis for requiring
additional time in which to complete the Project. In
the event the delay to the Contractor is a continuing
one, only one notice and claim for additional time shall
be necessary. If the Contractor fails to make such
claim as required in this Subparagraph, any claim for
an extension of time shall be waived. The procedures
and remedies provided by this provision shall be the
sole remedy of Contractor and Contractor shall not
assert nor be entitled to any additional delays or
damages associated therewith.
8.4 FIELD ORDERS
8.4.1 The Architect shall have authority to
order minor changes in the Work not involving a
change in the Contract Price or in Contract Time and
BID Q-SAMPLE SAMPLE
CITY OF COPPELL PURCHASING DEPARTMENT 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD COPPELL, TEXAS 75019 Page 14
not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract. Such
changes shall be effected by Field Order and shall be
binding upon the Contractor. The Contractor shall
carry out such Field Orders promptly.
8.5 MEDIATION
8.5.1 In the event that a dispute arises under
the terms of this Contract, following an adverse
determination by the Architect and proper
preservation of the issue as required herein, the parties
agree to submit to mediation. In such event, the parties
shall agree to a designated person to serve as mediator
and each party shall be responsible for payment of
one-half of the total mediation fees. The parties shall
submit the dispute to mediation as soon as practical
and in no event later than one (1) year after the
Architect’s written decision on the matter. At least one
designated representative of each party must attend
and participate in good faith in an effort to resolve the
matters in dispute.
8.5.2 In no event shall the foregoing provision
justify or authorize any delay in the progress of the
Work; the parties shall abide by the decision of the
Architect in accomplishing the timely completion of
the Project.

CHANGES IN THE WORK
10.1 CHANGES PERMITTED
10.1.1 Changes in the Work within the general
scope of this Contract, consisting of additions,
deletions, revisions, or any combination thereof, may
be ordered without invalidating this Contract, by
Change Order or by Field Order.
10.1.2 Changes in the Work shall be performed
under applicable provisions of this Contract and the
Contractor shall proceed promptly with such changes.
10.2 CHANGE ORDER DEFINED
10.2.1 Change Order shall mean a written order
to the Contractor executed by the Owner and the
Architect, issued after execution of this Contract,
authorizing and directing a change in the Work or an
adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time,
or any combination thereof. The Contract Price and
the Contract Time may be changed only by written
Change Order.
10.3 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE
10.3.1 Any change in the Contract Price
resulting from a Change Order shall be determined as
follows: (a) by mutual agreement between the Owner
and the Contractor as evidenced by (1) the change in
BID Q-SAMPLE SAMPLE
CITY OF COPPELL PURCHASING DEPARTMENT 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD COPPELL, TEXAS 75019 Page 15
the Contract Price being set forth in the Change Order,
(2) such change in the Contract Price, together with
any conditions or requirements related thereto, being
initialed by both parties and (3) the Contractor's
execution of the Change Order, or (b) if no mutual
agreement occurs between the Owner and the
Contractor, then, as provided in Subparagraph 10.3.2
below.
10.3.2 If no mutual agreement occurs between
the Owner and the Contractor as contemplated in
Subparagraph 10.3.1 above, the change in the Contract
Price, if any, shall then be determined by the Architect
on the basis of the reasonable expenditures or savings
of those performing, deleting or revising the Work
attributable to the change, including, in the case of an
increase or decrease in the Contract Price, a reasonable
allowance for direct job site overhead and profit. In
such case, the Contractor shall present, in such form
and with such content as the Owner or the Architect
requires, an itemized accounting of such expenditures
or savings, plus appropriate supporting data for
inclusion in a Change Order. Reasonable expenditures
or savings shall be limited to the following: reasonable
costs of materials, supplies, or equipment including

tools whether rented from the Contractor or others,
reasonable costs of premiums for all bonds and
insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or other taxes
related to the Work, and reasonable cost of direct
supervision and jobsite field office overhead directly
attributable to the change. In no event shall any
expenditure or savings associated with the
Contractor's home office or other non-jobsite overhead
expense be included in any change in the Contract
Price. Pending final determination of reasonable
expenditures or savings to the Owner, payments on
account shall be made to the Contractor on the
Architect's Certificate for Payment.
10.3.3 If unit prices are provided in the
Contract, and if the quantities contemplated are so
changed in a proposed Change Order that application
of such unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed
will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or to the
Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be
equitably adjusted.
10.4 MINOR CHANGES
10.4.1 The Architect shall have authority to
order minor changes in the Work not involving a
change in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of
this Contract. Such minor changes shall be made by
written Field Order, and shall be binding upon the
owner and the Contractor. The Contractor shall
promptly carry out such written Field Orders.
10.5 EFFECT OF EXECUTED
CHANGE ORDER

Contractor shall constitute conclusive evidence of the
Contractor's agreement to the ordered changes in the
Work, this Contract as thus amended, the Contract
Price and the Contract Time. The Contractor, by
executing the Change Order, waives and forever
releases any claim against the Owner for additional
time or compensation for matters relating to or arising
out of or resulting from the Work included within or
affected by the executed Change Order.

11.1 UNCOVERING WORK
11.1.1 If any of the Work is covered contrary to

Contract, it shall, if required by the Architect or the
Owner, be uncovered for the Architect's inspection
and shall be properly replaced at the Contractor's
expense without change in the Contract Time.
BID Q-SAMPLE SAMPLE
CITY OF COPPELL PURCHASING DEPARTMENT 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD COPPELL, TEXAS 75019 Page 16
11.1.2 If any of the Work is covered in a manner
not inconsistent with Subparagraph 11.1.1 above, it
shall, if required by the Architect or Owner, be
uncovered for the Architect's inspection. If such Work
conforms strictly with this Contract, costs of
uncovering and proper replacement shall by Change
Order be charged to the Owner. If such Work does not
strictly conform with this Contract, the Contractor
shall pay the costs of uncovering and proper
replacement.
11.2 CORRECTING WORK
11.2.1 The Contractor shall immediately
proceed to correct Work rejected by the Architect as
defective or failing to conform to this Contract. The
Contractor shall pay all costs and expenses associated
with correcting such rejected Work, including any
additional testing and inspections, and reimbursement
to the Owner for the Architect's services and expenses
made necessary thereby.
11.2.2 If within one (1) year after Substantial
Completion of the Work any of the Work is found to
be defective or not in accordance with this Contract,
the Contractor shall correct it promptly upon receipt of
written notice from the Owner. This obligation shall
survive final payment by the Owner and termination
of this Contract. With respect to Work first performed
and completed after Substantial Completion, this one
year obligation to specifically correct defective and
nonconforming Work shall be extended by the period
of time which elapses between Substantial Completion
and completion of the subject Work.
11.2.3 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 11.2
shall establish any period of limitation with respect to
other obligations which the Contractor has under this
Contract. Establishment of the one year time period in
Subparagraph 11.2.2 relates only to the duty of the
Contractor to specifically correct the Work.
11.3 OWNER MAY ACCEPT DEFECTIVE
OR NONCONFORMING WORK
11.3.1 If the Owner chooses to accept defective
or nonconforming Work, the Owner may do so. In
such event, the Contract Price shall be reduced by the
greater of (a) the reasonable cost of removing and
correcting the defective or nonconforming Work, and
(b) the difference between the fair market value of the
Project as constructed and the fair market value of the
Project had it not been constructed in such a manner
as to include defective or nonconforming Work. If the
remaining portion of the unpaid Contract Price, if any,
is insufficient to compensate the Owner for its
acceptance of defective or nonconforming Work, the
Contractor shall, upon written demand from the
Owner, pay the Owner such remaining compensation
for accepting defective or nonconforming Work.
ARTICLE XII
CONTRACT TERMINATION
12.1 TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR
12.1.1 If the Work is stopped for a period of
ninety (90) days by an order of any court or other

repeatedly fail to perform any material obligation to
the Contractor for a period of fifteen (15) days after
receiving written notice from the Contractor of its
intent to terminate hereunder, the Contractor may
terminate performance under this Contract by written
notice to the Architect and the Owner. In such event,
the Contractor shall be entitled to recover from the
Owner as though the Owner had terminated the
Contractor's performance under this Contract for
convenience pursuant to Subparagraph 12.2.1
hereunder.
12.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER
12.2.1 FOR CONVENIENCE

obligations in connection with the Work and the
Contractor shall stop Work when such termination
becomes effective. The Contractor shall also
terminate outstanding orders and subcontracts. The
Contractor shall settle the liabilities and claims arising
out of the termination of subcontracts and orders. The
Owner may direct the Contractor to assign the
Contractor's right, title and interest under terminated
orders or subcontracts to the Owner or its designee.

deliver to the Owner such completed or partially

12.2.1.4 (a) The Contractor shall submit a
termination claim to the Owner and
the Architect specifying the amounts
due because of the termination for
convenience together with costs,
pricing or other data required by the
Architect. If the Contractor fails to file
a termination claim within one (1) year
from the effective date of termination,
the Owner shall pay the Contractor, an
amount derived in accordance with
subparagraph (c) below.
(b) The Owner and the Contractor may
agree to the compensation, if any, due
to the Contractor hereunder.
(c) Absent agreement to the amount due
to the Contractor, the Owner shall pay
the Contractor the following amounts:
(i) Contract prices for labor, materials,
equipment and other services accepted
under this Contract;
(ii) Reasonable costs incurred in
preparing to perform and in
performing the terminated portion of
the Work, and in terminating the
Contractor's performance, plus a fair
and reasonable allowance for
overhead and profit thereon (such
profit shall not include anticipated
profit or consequential damages),
provided however, that if it appears
that the Contractor would have not
profited or would have sustained a loss
if the entire Contract would have been
completed, no profit shall be allowed
or included and the amount of
compensation shall be reduced to
reflect the anticipated rate of loss, if
any;
(iii) Reasonable costs of settling and
paying claims arising out of the
termination of subcontracts or orders
pursuant to Subparagraph 12.2.1.2 of
this Paragraph. These costs shall not
include amounts paid in accordance
with other provisions hereof.
The total sum to be paid the Contractor under this
Subparagraph 12.2.1 shall not exceed the total
Contract Price, as properly adjusted, reduced by the
amount of payments otherwise made, and shall in no
event include duplication of payment.
12.2.2 FOR CAUSE
12.2.2.1 If the Contractor persistently or
repeatedly refuses or fails to prosecute the Work in a
timely manner, abandons the jobsite and fails to
resume work within five (5) days of written notice
thereof by the Owner, fails to grant or allow access to
the jobsite by the Owner or Architect, fails to supply
enough properly skilled workers, supervisory
personnel or proper equipment or materials, fails to
make prompt payment to Subcontractors or for
materials or labor, persistently disregards laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public
authority having jurisdiction, or otherwise is guilty of
a violation of a material provision of this Contract,
then the Owner may by written notice to the
Contractor, without prejudice to any other right or
remedy, terminate the employment of the Contractor
and take possession of the site and of all materials,
equipment, tools, construction equipment and
machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may
finish the Work by whatever methods it may deem
expedient. In such case, the Contractor shall not be
entitled to receive any further payment until the Work
is finished.
12.2.2.2 If the unpaid balance of the Contract
Price does not exceed the cost of finishing the work,
including compensation for the Architect's additional
services and expenses made necessary thereby, such
difference shall be paid by the Contractor to the
Owner. This obligation for payment shall survive the
termination of the Contract.

12.2.2.3 In the event the employment of the
Contractor is terminated by the Owner for cause
pursuant to Subparagraph 12.2.2 and it is subsequently
