liquidated damages applicable to such delays. If and

achieving Substantial 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those funds withheld, but no longer applicable, as

nor artificially inflate any element thereof. The

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

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

Contractor. The Owner shall make partial payments
on account of the Contract Price to the Contractor

Subcontractor out of the amount paid to the
Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's Work,

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.

payment, may withhold funds, and, if necessary, may
demand the return of some or all of the amounts

Owner or the Owner's property;

charges.

5.5.1 When the Contractor believes that the
Work is substantially complete, the Contractor shall

inspection, it shall notify the Owner and the Architect
thereof in writing. Thereupon, the Architect will

will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment
certifying to the Owner that the Project is complete

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

all sums due the Contractor within ten (10) days of

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.

event, the Architect's duties and authority shall be as
set forth hereinafter. The Contractor understands and
agrees that it shall abide by the decisions and
instructions of the Architect notwithstanding the
contractual relationship between the Owner and

communicate with each other in the first instance
through the Architect.

Contractor's Applications for Payment and will
certify to the Owner for payment to the Contractor,
those amounts then due the Contractor as provided in
this Contract.
8.2.5 The Architect shall have authority to
reject Work which is defective or does not conform
to the requirements of this Contract. If the Architect
deems it necessary or advisable, the Architect shall
have authority to require additional inspection or
testing of the Work for compliance with Contract
requirements.
8.2.6 The Architect will review and approve,
or take other appropriate action as necessary,
concerning the Contractor's submittals including
Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples. Such

Documents.

by Field Order as provided elsewhere herein.

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

days of the event or occurrence or the first
CITY OF COPPELL • PURCHASING DEPARTMENT • 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD • COPPELL, TEXAS 75019 Page 26
BID Q- 0510 -02
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 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 CoNDmoNs - 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
WOODRIDGE MASONRY SCREENING WALL
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
CITY OF COPPELL • PURCHASING DEPARTMENT • 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD • COPPELL, TEXAS 75019 Page 27
BID Q- 0510 -02
WOODRIDGE MASONRY SCREENING WALL
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
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.

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

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
the Contract Price being set forth in the Change

10.3.2 If no mutual agreement occurs between
the Owner and the Contractor as contemplated in

Architect on the basis of the reasonable expenditures
or savings of those performing, deleting or revising

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,

equitably adjusted.

order minor changes in the Work not involving a
change in the Contract Price or an extension of the

UNCOVERING AND CORRECTING WORK
11.1 UNCOVERING WORK
11.1.1 If any of the Work is covered contrary
to the Architect's request or to any provisions of this
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.
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

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

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

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

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

Owner as though the Owner had terminated the

obligations in connection with the Work and the
Contractor shall stop Work when such termination

Contractor, an amount derived in
accordance with subparagraph (c)
below.

agree to the compensation, if any, due
to the Contractor hereunder.

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

reflect the anticipated rate of loss, if
any;

paying claims arising out of the
termination of subcontracts or orders
pursuant to Subparagraph 12.2.1.2 of

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

and take possession of the site and of all materials,
equipment, tools, construction equipment and

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 determined by a Court of competent
jurisdiction that such termination was without cause,
such termination shall thereupon be deemed a

shall apply.
