Further, the bid guarantee shall be forfeited to the CITY as liquidated damages and Bidder shall be liable to the CITY for an additional amount of five percent (5%) of the bid amount as liquidated damages without limitation. The CITY, within ten (10) days of receipt of acceptable Performance and Payment bonds, insurance documents and Contract signed by Bidder to whom Contract was awarded, shall sign and return executed duplicate of the Contract to said party. Should the CITY not execute the Contract within such period, the Bidder may, by written Notice to CITY, withdraw his signed Agreement. TIME OF COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: Timely completion of a project is extremely important to the CITY. Bidder must agree to commence work on or before a date to be specified in a written"Notice to Proceed" issued by the CITY and to fully complete the project within 90 calendar days. Failure of the CON TRACTOR to complete the Work within the time allowed will result in damages being sustained by the CITY. It is agreed and understood that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damage the CITY might sustain by reason of breach of the agreement; therefore the amount stated is expressly agreed upon as liquidated damages and is not intended by the parties to be a penalty. As such, liquidated damages of$500.00 per day will be imposed for each calendar day the service delivery date is exceeded. By submittal of Bid on the project,and by execution of the Contract by the CONTRACTOR awarded the project shall constitute an agreement by the CITY and CONTRACTOR that$500.00 per day is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused by the failure of the CONTACTOR to complete the Work within the allotted time. Such sum is liquidated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty, and may be deducted from payments due the Contractor if such delay occurs. PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BOND REQUIREMENTS: Per Government Code Chapter 2253. Bonds. If the contract exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) a payment bond is required. If the contract exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) a performance bond is required. Performance and Payment Bonds shall be furnished on prescribed forms in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price with corporate surety duly authorized to do business in the State of Texas. Attorneys-in-fact who sign Bonds must file with each bond a certified and effective date copy of their Power of Attorney.

LANDS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY Prior to the start of construction, the OWNER shall obtain all lands and rights-of- way necessary for the carrying out and completion of work to be performed under this CONTRACT. 33. NOTICE AND SERVICE THEREOF Any notice to any CONTRACTOR from the OWNER relative to any part of this Contract shall be in writing and considered delivered and the service thereof completed when said notice is posted, by certified or registered mail, to the said CONTRACTOR at his last given address, or delivered in person to the said CONTRACTOR or his authorized representative on the work. 34.

ARCHITECT/ENGINEER'S AUTHORITY The Architect/Engineer shall give all orders and directions contemplated under this Contract and Specifications, relative to the execution of the work. The Architect/Engineer shall determine the amount, quality, acceptability and fitness of the several kinds of work and materials which are to be paid for under this Contract, and shall decide all questions which may arise in relation to said work and the construction thereof. The Architect/Engineers estimates and decisions shall be final and conclusive, except as herein otherwise expressly provided.

MEANING OF INTENT The Architect/Engineer shall decide the meaning and intent of any portion of the Specifications and of any Plans or drawings where the same may be found obscure or be in dispute.

ASSIGNMENTS The CONTRACTOR shall not assign the whole or any part of this Contract or any monies due or to become due hereunder without written consent of the OWNER. In case the CONTRACTOR assigns all or any part of any monies due or to become due under this Contract,the instrument of assignment shall contain a clause substantially to the effect that it is agreed that the right of the assignee in and to any monies due or to become due to the CONTRACTOR shall be subject to prior claims of all persons, firms and corporations of services rendered or materials supplied for the performance of the work called for in this Contract. 41. MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTORS If, through acts of neglect on the part of the CONTRACTOR, any other CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor shall suffer loss or damage on the work, the CONTRACTOR agrees to settle with such other CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor by agreement or arbitration if such other CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor will so settle. If such other CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor shall assert any claim against the OWNER on account of any damage alleged to have been sustained, the OWNER shall notify the CONTRACTOR, who shall indemnify and safe harmless the OWNER against any such claim. 42. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT CONSTITUTES RELEASE The Acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of final payment shall be and shall operate as a release to the OWNER of all claims and all liability to the CONTRACTOR for all things done or furnished in connection with this work and for every act and neglect of the OWNER and others relating to or arising out of this work. No payment, however, final or otherwise, shall operate to release the CONTRACTOR or his Sureties from any obligations under this Contract or the Performance and Payment Bonds. 43. PAYMENTS BY CONTRACTOR The CONTRACTOR shall pay (a) for all transportation and utility services no later than the thirty (30) calendar days from the date of submission to the City of Port Arthur, (b) for all materials, tools and other expendable equipment to the extent of ninety percent (90%) cost thereof, no later than the 20th day of the F-12 calendar month following that in which such materials, tools and equipment are delivered at the site of the project, and the balance of the cost thereof, no later than the 30th day following the completion of that part of the work in or on which such materials, tools and equipment are incorporated or used; and (c) to each of his Subcontractors, no later than the 5th day following each payment to the CONTRACTOR, the respective amounts allowed the CONTRACTOR on account of the work performed by his Subcontractors to the extent of each Subcontractors' interest therein. 44. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND PERIODIC ESTIMATES Immediately after execution and delivery of the Contract, and before the first partial payment is made, the CONTRACTOR shall deliver to the OWNER an estimated construction progress schedule in form satisfactory to the OWNER, showing the proposed dates of commencement and completion of each of the various subdivisions of work required under the Contract Documents and the anticipated amount of each monthly payment that will become due the CONTRACTOR in accordance with the progress schedule. The CONTRACTOR shall also furnish on forms to be supplied by the OWNER: (a) a detailed estimate giving a complete breakdown of the Contract price; and (b) periodic itemized estimates of work done for the purpose of making partial payments thereon. The costs employed in making up any of these schedules will be used only for determining the basis of partial payments and will not be considered as fixing a basis for additions to or deductions from the Contract price. 45. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR a. Not later than the thirty (30) calendar days from the date of submission to the CITY OF PORT ARTHUR, the OWNER shall make a progress payment to the CONTRACTOR on the basis of a duly certified and approved estimate of the work performed during the preceding calendar month under this Contract, but to insure the proper performance of the Contract, the OWNER shall retain Ten percent (10%) [five percent {5%} if the total contract price exceeds $25,000] of the amount of each estimate until final completion and acceptance of all work covered by this Contract; Provided, that the CONTRACTOR shall submit his estimate no later than the fifth (5th) day of the month. Provided further, that on completion and acceptance of each separate building, public work or other division of the Contract on which the price is stated separately in the Contract, payment may be made in full, including retained percentages thereon, less authorized deductions. The CONTRACTOR is advised that the payment schedule noted in the paragraph is subject to fluctuation due to the City Council's regular schedule of meeting on the second and forth Mondays of each month. The CONTRACTOR may alter his estimate period such as to give the Engineer ten (10) working days prior to the next scheduled City Council meeting to prepare an estimate of the work completed and submit said estimate for the OWNERS action. b. In preparing estimates, the material delivered on the site and preparatory work done may be taken into consideration. F-13 c. All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the sole property of the OWNER, but this provision shall not be construed as relieving the CONTRACTOR from the sole responsibility for the care and protection of materials and work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any damaged work or as a waiver of the right of the OWNER to require the fulfillment of all of the terms of the Contract. d. OWNER'S Right to Withhold Certain Amounts and Make Application Thereof: The CONTRACTOR agrees that he will indemnify and save the OWNER harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of Subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, materialmen and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, power tools and all supplies, including commissary, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this Contract. The CONTRACTOR shall, at the OWNER'S request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove designated have been paid, discharged or waived. If the CONTRACTOR fails to do so, then the OWNER may, after having served written notice on the said CONTRACTOR, either pay unpaid bills, of which the OWNER has written notice, direct, or withhold from the CONTRACTOR'S unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the CONTRACTOR shall be resumed, in accordance with the terms of this Contract, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon the OWNER to either the CONTRACTOR or his Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER shall be deemed the agent of the CONTRACTOR, and any payment so made by the OWNER shall be considered as a payment made under Contract by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER shall not be liable to the CONTRACTOR for any such payments made in good faith. This provision shall not be construed to give rise to any third party beneficiary rights in claimants. 46. CORRECTION OF WORK All work, all materials, whether incorporated in the work or not, all processes of manufacture and all methods of construction shall be at all times and places subject to the inspection of the Architect/Engineer who shall be the final judge of the quality and suitability of the work, materials, processes of manufacture and methods of construction for the purposes for which they are used. Should they fail to meet his approval, they shall be forthwith reconstructed, made good, replaced and/or corrected, as the case may be, by the CONTRACTOR at his own expense. Rejected material shall immediately be removed from the site. If, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, it is undesirable to replace any defective or damaged materials or to reconstruct or correct any portion of the work injured or not performed in accordance with the Contract Documents, the compensation to be paid to the CONTRACTOR hereunder shall be reduced by such amount as in the judgement of the Architect/Engineer shall be equitable. 47. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS FOUND DIFFERENT F-14 Should the CONTRACTOR encounter subsurface and/or latent conditions at the site materially differing from those shown on the Plans or indicated in the Specifications, he shall immediately give notice to the Architect/Engineer of such conditions before they are disturbed. The Architect/Engineer will thereupon promptly investigate the conditions and, if he finds that they materially differ from those shown on the Plans or indicated in the Specifications, he will at once make such changes in the Plans and/or Specifications as he may find necessary, any increase or decrease of cost resulting from such changes to be adjusted in the manner provided in Paragraph 49 of the General Conditions. 48. CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COST No claim for extra work or cost shall be allowed unless the same was done pursuant to a written order of the Architect/Engineer approved by the OWNER, as aforesaid, and the claim presented with the first estimate after the changed or extra work is done. When work is performed under the terms of Subparagraph 49(c) of the General Conditions, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory bills, payrolls and vouchers covering all items of cost and when requested by the OWNER, give the OWNER access to accounts relating thereto. 49. CHANGES IN WORK No changes in the work covered by the approved Contract Documents shall be made without having prior written approval of the OWNER. Charges or credit for the work covered by the approved change shall be determined by one or more, or a combination of the following methods: a. Unit bid prices previously approved. b. An agreed lump sum. c. The actual cost of: (1) Labor, including foreman; (2) Materials entering permanently into the work; (3) The ownership or rental cost of construction plant and equipment during the time of use on the extra work; (4) Power and consumable supplies for the operation of power equipment; (5) Insurance; (6) Social Security and old age unemployment contributions. To the cost under (c.) there shall be added a fixed fee to be agreed upon but not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the work. The fee shall be compensation to cover the cost of supervision, overhead, bond, profit and any other general expenses. 50. EXTRAS Without invalidating the Contract, the OWNER may order extra work or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from the work, the Contract sum being adjusted accordingly, and the consent of the Surety being first obtained F-15 where necessary or desirable. All the work of the kind bid upon shall be paid for at the price stipulated in the proposal, and no claims for any extra work or materials shall be allowed unless the work is ordered in writing by the OWNER or its Architect/Engineer, acting officially for the OWNER, and the price is stated in such order. 51. TIME FOR COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES It is hereby understood and mutually agreed, by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER, that the date of beginning and the time for completion as specified in the Contract of the work to be done hereunder are ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS of this Contract; and it is further mutually understood and agreed that the work embraced in this Contract shall be commenced on a date to be specified in the "Notice to Proceed". The CONTRACTOR agrees that said work shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently and without interruption at such rate of progress as will ensure full completion thereof within the time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER, that the time for the completion of the work described herein is a reasonable time for the completion of same, taking into consideration the average climatic range and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality. If the said CONTRACTOR shall neglect, fail or refuse to complete the work within the time herein specified, or any proper extension thereof granted by the OWNER, then the CONTRACTOR does hereby agree, as a part consideration for the awarding of this Contract, to pay to the OWNER the amount specified in the Contract, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for such breach of Contract as hereinafter set forth, for each and every consecutive calendar day, including, but not limited to, all Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal, State, and City holidays and that the CONTRACTOR shall be in default after the time stipulated in the Contract for completing the work. The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the OWNER would in such event sustain, and said amount is agreed to be the amount of damages which the OWNER would sustain and said amount shall be retained from time to time by the OWNER from current periodical estimates. It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of this Contract and of the Specifications wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the performance of any act whatsoever; and where under the Contract an additional time is allowed for the completion of any work, the new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence of this Contract. Provided,that the CONTRACTOR shall not be charged with any part of liquidated damages or any excess cost when the OWNER determines that any part of liquidated damages was not the fault of the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER determines that the request for extension by the CONTRACTOR is justified and due to: F-16 a. Any preference, priority or allocation order duly issued by the government; b. The following unforeseeable causes, namely: acts of the public enemy, acts of the OWNER, acts of another CONTRACTOR in the performance of a Contract with the OWNER, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes; and rainy days claimed by the CONTRACTOR; however, rainy days shall be considered only if the CONTRACTOR notifies the Engineer or OWNER on the day the CONTRACTOR claims he cannot work because of rainy weather that day. Failure to so report will eliminate any claim for time extension because of rainy weather on that day. c. Rainy weather when 60 percent of his work force cannot work for seven (7) hours or more that day because of rainy weather and providing that he has complied with the condition under 51(b). d. Any delays of Subcontractors or suppliers occasioned by any of the causes specified in Subsections (a.) and (b.) of this Article. It is also agreed that for each five (5) regular days of work lost due to any of the foregoing reasons, seven (7) calendar days will be added to the contract time (or 1.4 calendar days added for each one (1) regular day of work lost). Fractional calendar days will be rounded to the nearest whole number of days. Provided, further, that the CONTRACTOR shall, within ten (10) days from the beginning of such delay, unless the OWNER shall grant a further period of time prior to the date of final settlement of the Contract, notify the OWNER, in writing, of the causes of delay, who shall ascertain the facts and extent of the delay and notify the CONTRACTOR within reasonable time of its decision in the matter. Provided, that this provision for liquidated damages shall be cumulative of and not in limitation of any other remedy available to OWNER, including, without limitation, the right to terminate as provided in Paragraph 3 and to recover additional damages for any excess cost in otherwise completing the work. 52. WEATHER CONDITIONS In the event of temporary suspension of work, or during inclement weather, or whenever the Architect/Engineer shall direct, the CONTRACTOR will, and will cause his Subcontractors to, protect carefully his, and their, work and materials against damage or injury from the weather. If, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, any work or materials shall have been damaged or injured by reason of failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR or any of his Subcontractors so to protect his work, such materials shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the CONTRACTOR. 53. PROTECTION OF WORK AND PROPERTY- EMERGENCY F-17 The CONTRACTOR shall at all times safely guard the OWNER'S property from injury or loss in connection with this Contract. He shall at all times safely guard and protect his own work, and that of adjacent property, from damage. The CONTRACTOR shall replace or make good any such damage, loss or injury unless such be caused directly by errors contained in the Contract or by the OWNER, or his duly authorized representatives. In case of an emergency which threatens loss or injury of property and/or safety of life, the CONTRACTOR will be allowed to act, without previous instructions from the Architect/Engineer, in a diligent manner. He shall notify the Architect/Engineer immediately thereafter. Any claim for compensation by the CONTRACTOR due to such extra work shall be promptly submitted to the Architect/Engineer for approval. Where the CONTRACTOR has not taken action but has notified the Architect/Engineer of an emergency threatening injury to persons or damage to the work or any adjoining property, he shall act as instructed or authorized by the Architect/Engineer. The amount of reimbursement claimed by the CONTRACTOR on account of any emergency action shall be determined in the manner provided in Paragraph 49 of the General Conditions. 54. INSPECTION The authorized representatives and agents of the OWNER shall be permitted to inspect all work, materials, payrolls, records of personnel, invoices of materials and other relevant data and records. 55. SUPERINTENDENCE BY CONTRACTOR At the site of the work, the CONTRACTOR shall employ a construction superintendent or foreman who shall have full authority to act for the CONTRACTOR.
