ARTICLE III

TIME FOR PERFORMANCE

3.1 Contract Time
Design-Builder agrees to commence the Work within five (5) days of Design -Builder’s receipt of a Notice to Proceed issued by City (“Date of Commencement”), unless the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. If City's issuance of a Notice to Proceed is delayed due to Design-Builder's failure to return a fully-executed Agreement, insurance documents or bonds within fourteen (14) calendar days after the date of the award of the Contract letter from the City, one (1) calendar day will be deducted from the number of days to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work for every day of delay in City's receipt of such documents. This right is in addition to and does not affect City's right to demand forfeiture of Design-Builder's bid security, or any other rights or remedies available to City if Design-Builder persistently delays in providing the required documentation.

Design-Builder agrees to promptly commence the Work after the Notice to Proceed is issued by City, and to achieve Substantial Completion of the entire Work no later than Insert No. of Days calendar days after the Date of Commencement in the Notice to Proceed. Final Completion of the Work shall be achieved as expeditiously as reasonably practicable. Final Completion is the date when all Work is complete pursuant to the definition of Final Completion set forth in Article 1.1.24 of the General Conditions of Contract. All of the dates set forth in the Article (collectively “Contract Time”) shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the General Conditions of Contract. By executing this Agreement, Design-Builder confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.

3.2 Liquidated Damages

3.2.1 City and Design-Builder recognize that time is of the essence as to this Agreement and that City may suffer damages which are difficult to determine and accurately specify, such as lost grant funds, additional contract administration expenses, and loss of public use, if the Work is not completed within the Contract Time, including any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with the Contract Documents.

3.2.2 Design-Builder and City agree to liquidate damages with respect to Design -Builder's failure to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract Time. The Parties intend for the liquidated damages set forth herein to apply to this Contract as set forth in Government Code § 53069.85. Design- Builder acknowledges and agrees that the liquidated damages are intended to compensate City solely for Design -Builder's failure to meet the deadline for Substantial Completion and shall not excuse Design -Builder from liability from any other breach, including any failure of the Work to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents.

3.2.3 In the event that Design -Builder fails to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract Time, Design-Builder agrees to pay City the following:
(a) $ Insert Amount per day for each calendar day that Substantial Completion is delayed for the first thirty (30) days of delay; and
(b) $ Insert Amount per day for each calendar day that Substantial Completion is delayed thereafter provided, however, that in an event Design -Builder’s liability to City for liquidated damages shall be limited to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Price.

SAMPLE

DESIGN-BUILD AGREEMENT
Page A-6

3.2.4 Design-Builder acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing liquidated damages have been set based on an evaluation by City of damages that it will incur in the event of the late completion of the Work. Design -Builder and City agree that because of the natu re of the Project it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the amount of actual damages incurred by City due to a delay in completion of the Work. Accordingly, City and Design-Builder have agreed to such liquidated damages to fix Design-Builder's costs and to avoid later disputes. It is understood and agreed by Design-Builder that any liquidated damages payable pursuant to this Agreement are not a penalty and represent a fair and reasonable estimate of compensation for losses to be incurred u nder the circumstances existing as of the effective date of this Agreement.

3.2.5 It is further mutually agreed that City shall have the right to deduct liquidated damages against progress payments or retainage. In the event the remaining unpaid Contract Price is insufficient to cover the full amount of liquidated damages, Design-Builder shall pay the difference to City.

3.2.6 Permitting or requiring Design -Builder to continue and finish the Work, or any part thereof, after the deadline for Substantial Completion shall not act as a waiver of City’s right to receive liquidated damages hereunder or any rights or remedies otherwise available to City.

3.3 Early Completion Bonus [OPTIONAL]

3.3.1 If the Work is completed to the point of Substantial Completion (as defined in the General Conditions) prior to Insert Date (“Bonus Date”) and Design-Builder has fully performed all of its obligations to be performed as of such time and fully complies with all terms and conditions of the Design-Build Agreement in effect at such time, then City shall pay Design -Builder at the time of final payment an early completion bonus of Insert Amount Dollars ($ ) for each calendar day that Substantial Completion is attained earlier than the Bonus Date. City and Design -Builder agree that the maximum aggregate amount that Design -Builder shall receive as the early completion bonus is Insert Amount Dollars ($ ).

3.3.2 If there is an Excusable Delay or Compensable Delay for which Design -Builder is entitled to a Contract Adjustment extending the Contract Time for Substantial Completion, the Bonus Date shall be deemed extended by the same number of days as such Contract Ad justment. In the case of an inexcusable delay, the Bonus Date shall not be extended.

3.3.3 City assumes no obligation to take special or extraordinary measures to expedite performance of any of its obligations under the Contract Documents in order to assist Design-Builder in achieving Substantial Completion by the Bonus Date and assumes no oblig ation to agree to any extensions of time to the Bonus Date, save and except to the extent that Design -Builder has established its right to a corresponding extension to the Contract Time for Substantial Completion as aforesaid. If and to the extent that an acceleration in performance by Design -Builder or any Subcontractor is undertaken for the purpose of enabling the Design -Builder to achieve Substantial Completion by the Bonus Date, such acceleration shall only be undertaken after Design -Builder has provided for City’s information, complete disclosure of those activities that will be accelerated and/or those activities that will be performed in parallel to support Design -Builder’s early completion, and such acceleration shall be performed entirely at Design-Builder’s own expense.

3.3.4 Such additional payment is subject to a judgment by City to the extent any sums may be lawfully retained under any provisions of the Contract Documents or at law. The obligation of City to pay such amount is subject to the condition that Design -Builder complete the Work to the point of Final Completion and that Design-Builder not be in breach or default of any of its obligations under the SAMPLE

DESIGN-BUILD AGREEMENT
Page A-7
Contract Documents at the time of final payment. This provision does not alter the Contract Documents provisions on ownership and use of schedule float, and this provision shall not be used by Design-Builder to assert claims based upon use of schedule float or the City’s exercise of any rights or obligations under the Contract Documents.

3.3.5 No early completion bonus or any portion thereof shall be due or payable to Design - Builder in the event that the Contract is (1) rightfully terminated by City for cause on the grounds of an event of Design-Builder default; (2) terminated by City for convenience at a point prior to the overall Work (including approved Change Orders) being 75% completed, or (3) is wrongfully terminated by Design-Builder.

3.3.6 Design-Builder specifically and expressly waives and relinquishes any claims against City that City caused Design-Builder to fail to achieve early Substantial Completion thereby depriving Design-Builder of the opportunity to earn said bonus.

violation. Any questions concerning a contractor may be referred to the Registrar, Contractors' State License Board, P.O. Box 26000, Sacramento, California 95826.

7.5 Taxes and Reporting

7.5.1 Project Construction - Design-Builder shall cooperate with City in all matters relating to taxation and the collection of taxes, particularly with respect to the self -accrual of use tax. Prior to commencement of construction of the Work, Design -Builder shall obtain a Board Equalization sales and use tax sub -permit for the Site and allocate eligible sales and use tax payments for individual contracts over $5,000,000 to the City. Design-Builder will follow the guidelines set forth in the relevant sections of the Sales and Use Tax Regulations. The Design-Builder must, on its quarterly use tax return, identify the use tax applicable to the Sites and use the appropriate Board of Equalization forms and schedules to ensure that the tax is allocated to the Sites. In determining the amounts of use tax to be paid, the Design -Builder must follow the Sale and Use Tax Regulations. In the event it is later determined that certain eligible use tax amounts were not included on Design- Builder's use tax return(s), Design -Builder must agree to amend those returns and file them with the Board of Equalization in a manner that will ensure that the City receives such additional use tax from the Project.

7.5.2 Use Tax Direct Payment Process - Design-Builder shall follow the Use Tax Direct Payment Permit Process established in the Revenue and Taxation Code and use the sub-permit for all qualifying individual purchases in excess of $100,000 so that the local share of its sales/use tax payments is allocated to the City as the point of sale.

7.5.3 Fixtures, Materials and Equipment - It is understood and agreed that any fixtures, materials and equipment shipped from outside California, with a purchase total that exceeds $100,000 purchased directly by Design-Builder and shipped to Design -Builder's Anaheim location, may also be eligible for direct allocation of sales/use tax to the City. Design-Builder shall complete and submit to the City the Use Tax Direct Payment Permit. Upon request, Design -Builder shall provide to City on a semi -annual basis with a list of purchases exceeding the $100,000 threshold during the preceding six-month period, including the amount of the purchase and, if readily available, the name and contact information for the vendor upon request by the City. The City agrees to review the semi-annual list of purchases made by Design-Builder.

7.5.4 Permits - Copies of the permit(s) shall be delivered to the City Engineer. In completing the permit, Design-Builder shall use the address of the Site as its business address and may use any address for its mailing address. Copies of the permit(s) shall als o be delivered to the City Engineer.

The Design-Builder shall provide documentation to the City that the sub-permit(s) have been obtained and provide the sub-permit number(s) to City. The permit(s) must be obtained as soon as reasonably possible after Design-Builder receives a Notice to Proceed. Design-Builder shall not order any materials or equipment of $100,000 from vendors outside California until the permit(s) are obtained; and if Design-Builder do so, it shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

7.6 Department of Industrial Relations Registration
Strict compliance with all Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) registration requirements in accordance with Labor Code §§ 1725.5 and 1771.1 is a material obligation of Design-Builder and all of its Subcontractors (of any tier) under the Contract Doc uments. The foregoing includes, without limitation, compliance with DIR registration requirements at all times during performance of the Work by Design-Builder and all of its Subcontractors of any tier. Design-Builder shall execute Exhibit H which is a ce rtification that Design -Builder is in compliance with the DIR registration requirements. In addition, Design -Builder shall provide certification of registration and registration number to City SAMPLE

DESIGN-BUILD AGREEMENT
Page A-14
before a Subcontractor will be allowed to work on the Project. The failure of Design -Builder and its Subcontractors of any tier to be properly registered with DIR at all times during performance of the Work is a material breach of the Contract and grounds for termination for cause. An affirmative and ongoing obligation of Design -Builder under the Contract Documents is the verification that all Subcontractors of any tier are at all times during performance of the Work in full and strict compliance with the DIR registration requirements. Design-Builder shall not permit or allow any Subcontractor of any tier to perform any Work without Design -Builder’s verification that all Subcontractors are in full and strict compliance with the DIR registration requiremen ts. Any Subcontractor not properly registered with DIR shall be substituted in accordance with Labor Code § 1771.1. Design-Builder or its Subcontractors shall not be entitled to any additional costs or time arising from or in any way related to compliance with the DIR registration requirements.

7.7 Community Workforce Agreement (NOT APPLICABLE)
Design-Builder agrees to comply with the Community Workforce Agreement dated December 3, 2019 (“CWA”) if the Project includes covered “Project Work” as defined in the CWA. (Exhibit J) If there is conflict between this Agreement and the CWA, Design-Builder agrees to comply with the terms of the CWA. Design -Builder shall require each of its Subcontractors, of whatever tier, to be bound by the terms of the CWA.

7.8 Equal Employment Opportunity
During performance of the Contract, Deign-Builder will not discriminate against any person or group of persons on account of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, medical condition, age, marital status, sex or sexual orientation. Design-Builder confirms that it has an equal opportunity policy ensuring equal employment opportunity without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion or handicap; and that it maintains no employee facilities segregated on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin.

7.9 Provisions Required by Law
Each and every provision of law required to be included in these Contract Documents shall be deemed to be included in these Contract Documents. The Design-Builder shall comply with all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and re gulations, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the California Labor Code and the California Public Contract Code where applicable to this Project.

WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim ("City") has awarded Insert Name of Contractor designated as the "Principal" or “Design-Builder” herein, a contract for the work described as follows:

Insert Description
WHEREAS, on or about Insert Date , the Principal entered into a Contract with the City for the design and construction of the work of improvement, which Contract and all Contract Documents set forth therein are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by this reference; and WHEREAS, Principal is required to furnish a bond guaranteeing the faithful performance of its obligations under the Contract Documents concurrently with delivery to City of the executed Contract.

NOW, THEREFORE, Principal and Insert Surety Name ("Surety"), a duly admitted surety in the State of California, are held and firmly bound to City for payment of the penal sum of $ Insert Amount ("the Bonded Sum"), in lawful money of the United States, for payment of which sum Principal and Surety jointly and severally bind themselves and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH THAT if Principal shall promptly and faithfully perform all of its obligations under the Contract Documents, including any and all amendments and supplements thereto, then this obligation shall be null and void; otherwise it shall remain in full force and effect.

The following terms and conditions shall apply with respect to this Bond:

1. The Design -Builder and the Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns to City for the complete and proper performance of the Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2. If the Design-Builder completely and properly performs all of its obligations under the Contract, the Surety and the Design-Builder shall have no obligation under this Bond.

3. If there is no City Default, the Surety's obligation under this Bond shall arise after:

3.1 City has declared a Design -Builder Default under the Contract pursuant to the terms of the Contract; and

3.2 City has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price to:

3.2.1 The Surety in accordance with the terms of this Bond and the Contract; or SAMPLE

DESIGN-BUILD AGREEMENT
Exhibit F-2

3.2.2 The contractor selected to perform the Contract in accordance with the terms of this Bond and the Contract.

4. When City has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly (within thirty (30) days) and at the Surety's expense elect to take one of the following actions (provided, that unless and until City has actually terminated Design -Builder for default, the Surety need only respond to City and commence a diligent investigation, not make an election):

4.1 Arrange for the Design -Builder, with consent of City, to perform and complete the Contract (but City may withhold consent, in its sole discretion, in which case the Surety must elect an option described in Paragraphs 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, below); or

4.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Contract itself, through its agents or through independent contractors, but City may reject use of the contractor as an agent or independent contractor; or

4.3 Obtain bids from qualified contractors acceptable to City for a contract for performance and completion of the Contract (other than the original Design -Builder), and, upon determination by City of the lowest responsible bidder, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by City and the contractor selected with City's concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Contract; and, if the Surety's obligations defined in Paragraph 6, below, exceed the Balance of the Contract Price, then the Surety shall pay to City the amount of such excess; or

4.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances, and, after investigation and consultation with City, determine in good faith its monetary obligation for which it may then be liable to City under Paragraph 6, below, for the performance and completion of the Contract and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, tender payment therefor to City with full explanation of the payment's calculation. If City accepts the Surety's tender under this Paragraph 4.4, City may still hold Surety liable for future damages then unknown or unliquidated resulting from the Design-Builder Default. If City disputes the amount of Surety's tender under this Paragraph 4 .4, City may exercise all remedies available to it at law to enforce the Surety's liability under Paragraph 6 below.

5. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 4, above, then the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond ten (10) calendar days after receipt of an additional written notice from City to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond. At all times City shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to City at law or under the Contract including, without limitation, and by way of example only, rights to perform work, protect work, mitigate damages, or coordinate work with other consultants or contractors.

6. The Surety's monetary obligation under this Bond is limited to the amount of this Bond, plus the Balance of the Contract Price paid hereunder. Subject to these limits, the Surety's obligations under this Bond are commensurate with the obligations of the De sign-Builder under the Contract.

8. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, alteration or addition to the Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders and other obligations, including changes of time. The Surety consents to all terms of the Contract, including provisions on changes to the Contract.

No extension of time, change, alteration, modification, deletion, or addition to the Contract Documents, or of the work required thereunder, shall release or exonerate Surety on this Bond or in any way affect the obligations of Surety on this Bond.

9. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond shall be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction where a proceeding is pending between City and the Design -Builder regarding the Contract, or in the courts of the City of Anaheim, or in a court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the work is located.

10. Notice to the Surety, City or the Design -Builder shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the signature page.

The WQMP shall follow Orange County and City of Anaheim guidance, requirements, templates, checklists and procedures. The WQMP will guide the design of the grading and storm drain for the project. Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will address the quality of the post -construction phase (operational phase) of this project will be identified, sized, designed and incorporated into the project as part of this effort. The Design-Builder must coordinate with the City for the review, comment, and approval of the WQMP, not only because the City is the approval authority, but also because the City will operate and maintain the BMPs designed and constructed for this Project and must have the opportunity to review, comment and approve of the type, size, location and functionality of said BMPs.

3.25.3.1 City and Locally Funded Projects.

If this project disturbs less than 1 acre of land or is related to routine maintenance of an existing linear facility, the project falls outside the coverage requirements of the Construction General Permit:
https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/construction.html . Therefore, a SWPPP is not required. However, the Construction General Permit requirements still prescribe that appropriate BMPs shall be implemented in accordance with the Construction Runoff Guidance Manual. Therefore, Design -Builder shall develop, implement and maintain an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (E&SC Plan) as described in the requirements for the City’s NPDES MS4 Permit. This Plan shall use the construction plans as a basis for identifying the location and type of BMP that will be implemented on and off -site, based up on the anticipated construction activities, equipment and materials that will be used in the project, for review and approval by the Department of Public Works.

Since construction activities are highly variable throughout the phases and term of the Project and may even include work not originally anticipated, the approved E&SC Plan does not relieve the Design -Builder from the responsibility to maintain the E&SC Plan current as site conditions evolve to ensure that adequate and appropriate BMPs are employed, which may not have been identified on the initial version of the E&SC Plan, to prevent storm water pollution emanating from the Project site at all times during the contract period.

3.25.3.2 State and Federally Funded Projects.

If this project disturbs less than 1 acre of land or is related to routine maintenance of an existing linear facility, the project falls outside the coverage requirements of the Construction General Permit. Therefore, a SWPPP is not required. However, the MS4 NPDES Permit requirements still prescribe that appropriate BMPs shall be implemented in accordance with the Orange County Construction Runoff Guidance Manual. Therefore, Design - Builder shall develop, implement, and maintain Water Pollution Control Prog ram (WPCP), approved by the Department of Public Works and conforming with the requirements of current edition of the Caltrans Specifications Section 13, Water Pollution Control in effect at the time the Contract is executed.

Since construction activities are highly variable throughout the phases and term of the Project and may even include work not originally anticipated, the approved WPCP does not relieve Design- Builder from the responsibility to im
plement and maintain the appropriate BMPs, which may not have been identified, to prevent storm water pollution emanating from the Project site at all times during the contract period.

3.25.3.3 Applicable to All Projects Regardless of Funding Source.

The following shall apply to all projects regardless of the type of “Stormwater Plan” developed or funding source.

Design-Builder shall routinely inspect the construction site, staging areas, and any impacted areas offsite to evaluate the applicability and effectives of the BMPs that are or should be in place. These inspections shall be SAMPLE

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT
Page GC-25
Southwest Substation Upgrade
conducted at a minimum, within 48 hours prior to anticipated storm events, during rainfall (if occurring during business hours) and after any storm event. The outcome of these inspections shall identify any deficiencies identified and corrective actions an ticipated or taken and shall be documented by the contractor and made available to the City’s representative, the same day, upon request.

Payment to develop and maintain the E&SC Plan, WPCP and all related or required BMPs shall be considered included in the contract unit price paid for other items of work and shall be considered incidental tor accomplishing the work and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.

Failure of Design-Builder to comply with any requested corrective actions may result in an order to suspend work until the condition is corrected. No additional compensation will be allowed as a result of such suspension.

3.25.3.4 Catch Basin Labeling.

On all catch basin construction, Design- Builder shall comply with labeling requirements set forth in the City Standard Detail found at:
https://www.anaheim.net/DocumentCenter/View/8126/385
Payment for conformance to the requirements of this section shall be deemed to be included in the price bid for the various item of work and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.

3.25.3.5 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).

Design-Builder shall be responsible for complying with all requirements of the 2021 Standard Specifications Subsection 3-12.6.3, which requirements are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety with the following additions:

Design-Builder shall also be responsible for complying with all requirements of the State NPDES General Construction Storm Water Permit (trigger for compliance currently set at disturbance of 1 acre or more of land) and for development and implementation of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), PRDs (Permit Registration Documents), and Monitoring Plan (MP) (only if Risk Level 2 or 3). The one exception to this responsibility is the uploading online of PRDs into State SMARTS, which is performed by City Staff. However, the contractor is responsible for providing – in a timely manner – PRDs and any other information required in order to complete the upload of these submittals as required by the General Construction Permit, and as may be required by the administering agency (e.g., Caltrans).

At the pre -construction meeting, Design -Builder is required to submit a SWPPP to the City that has been completed by a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) along with PRDs. The Notice to Proceed will not be issued until the approval and successful uploading of the SWPPP and PRDs to the online SMARTS System by the City.

Design-Builder shall be responsible for conducting all required monitoring inspections and shall file copies of the inspections and all other reports, certifications or records, as required by the SWPPP, with the Public Works Department. All fines levied against the City, as a result of the Design -Builder’s failure to comply with the requirements of the Construction General Permit, shall be Design -Builder’s sole responsibility and stated fine amounts will be withheld from monies due or becoming due to Design-Builder.

Submitting Annual Reports: Based on current Construction General Permit deadlines, Design- Builder must submit all information that is required for completion of the Annual Report to the City, one (1) month prior to the deadline for Annual Report Submittal, thus allowing the City to review, request any missing information, and submit it through the SMARTS System.

6. DESIGN-BUILDERS AND DESIGN CONSULTANTS

6.1 Award of Subcontracts and Other Contracts for Portions of the Work

6.1.1 Subcontracting Act.

6.1.1.1 The Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act, § 4100 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code ("Subcontracting Act"), requires persons bidding on public works contracts to identify certain major Subcontractors as part of their bids. City reco gnizes that because a design -build contract may be awarded prior to the completion of the design, it is often impracticable for the design -build entity to list all Subcontractors during the design and procurement phase of the Work. As a result, the Subcontractor listing requirements contained in the Subcontracting Act can create a conflict with the implementation of the design - build process by requiring all Subcontractors to be listed at a time when a sufficient set of plans may not be available. City recog nizes that certain Subcontractors can only be selected by Design­Builder after a certain amount of design work is completed. Therefore, City has postponed Design-Builder's obligation to identify certain Subcontractors, subject to Designer-Builder's compliance with the Subcontractor selection policy set forth in this Article. All Subcontractors shall be afforded the protections contained in the Subcontracting Act.

6.1.1.2 The Designation of Subcontractors form (reference Exhibit I to the Agreement) shall be signed by Design -Builder, agreeing that any Subcontractor not identified on the form who will perform Work or render Service in the performance of the Contract in the am ount exceeding ½ of 1% of the difference between the total of the Contract Price and the amount allocated to Design Services, shall be submitted to City for approval prior to the execution of any subcontract. Once a Subcontractor approved by City has been selected for any such Work, Design -Builder shall not have the right to make any substitution of such Subcontractor except in accordance with the provisions of the Subcontracting Act. The City Engineer or his/her designee shall serve as the hearing officer for the purposes of any hearing dealing with the substitution of a Subcontractor.

6.1.2 Objection. Design-Builder shall not employ any subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity against whom City may have reasonable objection. Design-Builder shall not be required to employ any subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity to furnish or perform any of the Work against whom Design-Builder has reasonable objection.

6.1.3 Responsibility. Design -Builder shall be fully responsible to City for all acts and omissions of the Subcontractors, engineers, suppliers and other individuals or entities performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with Design-Builder. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create for the benefit of any such Subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity any contractual relationship between City and any such Subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity, nor shall it create any obligation on the part of City to pay Subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity except as may otherwise be required by laws and regulations.

6.1.4 Coordination. Design -Builder shall be solely responsible for scheduling and coordinating subcontractors, engineers, suppliers and other individuals and entities performing or furnishing any of the Work under direct or indirect contract with Design-Builder. Design-Builder shall require all subcontractors, engineers, suppliers and such other individuals and entities performing or furnishing any of the Work to communicate with the City through Design-Builder.

6.1.5 Subcontract Agreements

6.1.5.1 All services performed or provided to and material and equipment supplied to Design -Builder by a Subcontractor or supplier will be pursuant to an appropriate design sub - agreement or construction sub-agreement between Design-Builder and the Subcontractor, engineer or supplier which specifically binds the Subcontractor, engineer or supplier to the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of City. City shall have the right but not the obligation to review and accept the form SAMPLE

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT
Page GC-37

and substance of Design -Builder's agreements with Subcontractors. Whenever any such agreement is with a Subcontractor, engineer or supplier who is listed as an additional insured on the property insurance provided for herein, the agreement between the Design -Builder and the Subcontractor, engineer or supplier will contain provisions whereby the Subcontractor, engineer or supplier waives all rights against City, City's consultants and all other additional insured's for all losses and damages caused by any of the perils or causes of loss covered by such policies and any other property insurance applicable to the Work.

6.1.5.2 If the insurers on any such policies require separate waiver forms to be signed by any Subcontractor, engineer or supplier, Design-Builder will obtain the same.

6.1.6 Assignment. Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Design-Builder to the City provided that assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract with Design­ Builder by the City and only for those subcontract agreements which the City accepts by notifying the Subcontractor in writing. Said assignments are subject to the prior rights of the sureties obligated on the bonds relating to this Agreement. Each subcontract shall specifically provide that the City shall only be responsible to the Subcontractor for those obligations that accrue subsequent to the City's exercise of any rights under this contingent assignment.

6.1.7 Substitution Process . Any request of Design -Builder to substitute a listed Subcontractor will be considered by City only if such request is in strict conformity with this Paragraph 6.1 and California Public Contract Code § 4107. All costs and fees incurred by City in the review and evaluation of a request to substitute a listed subcontractor shall be borne by Design -Builder. Such costs and fees may be deducted by City from the Contract Price then or thereafter due Design-Builder.

6.1.8 Responsibilities of Design -Builder Upon Substitution of Subcontractor . Neither the substitution nor City's consent to Design -Builder's substitution of a listed Subcontractor shall relieve Design - Builder from its obligation to complete the Work within the Contract Time and for the Contract Price. In the event that City determines that revised or additional Submittals are required of the newly substituted Subcontractor, City shall promptly notify Design-Builder, in writing, of such requirement and the time for Submittal. In the event that the revised or additional Submittals are not submitted by Design -Builder within the time specified, Design - Builder shall be solely responsible for delays in the Work arising from the untimely Submittal. Design -Builder shall reimburse City for all fees and costs incurred or associated with the processing, review and evaluation of any revised or additional Submittals required pursuant to this paragraph. City may deduct such fees and costs from any portion of the Contract Price then or thereafter due Design -Builder. In the event that additional or revised submittals are required pursuant to this paragraph, such requirement shall not result in an increase to the Contract Time or the Contract Price.

6.2 Design Consultant and Subcontractor Relations

6.2.1 Agreements. By appropriate written agreement, Design -Builder shall require each Design Consultant and Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be performed by the Design Consultant and Subcontractor, to be bound to Design-Builder by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward Design- Builder all the obligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility for safety of the Design Consultant or Subcontractor’s Work, which Design -Builder, by Contract Documents, assumes toward City. Each suc h agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of City under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Design Consultant or Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow the Design Consultant or Subcontractor, unless specifically provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress against Design -Builder that Design - Builder, by the Contract Documents, has against City. Design -Builder shall require each Design Consultant or Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with their lower tier subcontractors and consultants. Design- Builder shall make available to each proposed Design Consultant or Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which the Design Consultant or Subcontractor will be bound by this Paragraph. At a minimum, each agreement shall:

The written notice shall state the da te, circumstances, extent of adjustment to the Contract Price or the Contract Time, if any, requested and the source of the Verbal Change. Time is of the essence in Design -Builder's written notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, so that City can promptly investigate and consider alternative measures to address the Verbal Change giving rise to Design -Builder's notice. Accordingly, Design -Builder acknowledges that its failure, for any reason, to give written notice within ten (10) calendar days of such Ve rbal Change shall be deemed Design -Builder's waiver of any right to assert or Claim any entitlement to an adjustment of the Contract Time or the Contract Price on account of such Verbal Change.

The failure of City to direct or order removal of such unauthorized work shall not constitute acceptance or approval of such work nor relieve Design-Builder from any liability on account thereof.

8.6 City Originated Proposal Request
City may issue a -request, in writing, to Design -Builder, describing a proposed change to the Work and requesting Design-Builder submit an itemized proposal in a format acceptable to City within ten (10) calendar days after City issues the request. Design -Builder's proposal shall include an analysis of impacts to cost and time, if any, to perform additional work, or delete Work, as applicable, including the effects and impacts, if any, on unchanged Work, estimates of costs (broken down by the cost categories listed in the Agreement and/or Paragraph 8.4 herein), and Design -Builder's proposed methods to minimize costs, delay, and disruption to the performance of the Work. If Design -Builder fails to submit a written proposal within such period of time, it shall be presumed that the change described in City's original proposal request will not result in an increase to the Contract Price or Contract Time and the change shall be performed by Design -Builder without additional compensation. City's proposal request doe s not authorize Design -Builder to commence performance of the change, unless otherwise specified in writing. If City desires that the proposed change be performed, the Work shall be authorized according to the Change Order or Construction Change Directive procedures set forth above.

8.7 Design-Builder Originated Change Order Request (COR) If Design-Builder alleges that instructions issued by City after the effective date of the Contract may result in changes to the Contract Price or Contract Time or if Design -Builder otherwise becomes aware of the need for or desirability of a change in the Work, Design-Builder may submit a written Change Order Request ("COR") to City in writing, in a format acceptable to City and in accordance with the notice provisions and other requirements of Article 17 for Claims. The COR must specify the reasons for the proposed change, cost impacts and relevant circumstances and impacts on the Construction Schedule. The document shall be complete in its description of the Work, its material and labor quantities and detail, and must support and justify the Costs and credits claimed by Design -Builder. A CPM schedule fragnet is required to support and justify any additional Contract Time of performance requested by Design -Builder. City will not review any COR which is incomplete.

Design-Builder may request additional compensation and/or time through a COR but not for instances that occurred more than ten (10) calendar days prior to the notice date. Design- Builder's failure to initiate a COR SAMPLE

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT
Page GC-44
Southwest Substation Upgrade
within this ten-day period or to provide detailed back-up documentation to substantiate the COR within thirty (30) calendar days of the initial written notice shall be deemed a waiver of the right to adjustment of the Contract Price or the Contract Time for the alleged change. Any COR that is approved by City will be incorporated in a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. If the COR is denied by the City but Design-Builder believes that it does have merit, Design -Builder shall proceed in a timely fashion with the disputed Work and may submit a Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 17.

(1) Monthly update/status of electronic database shall include notation of all Actual Start Dates and Actual Finish Dates and status of activities in progress.

(2) Review of “planned” versus “actual” work force allocations and progress for the preceding month.

(3) Reviews of revisions, added or deleted work and how those activities are being integrated into Design-Builder’s work plan.

(4) Review of Design-Builder’s interface and coordination with other work on the Project.

(5) Review of all impacts to the work during the preceding month and to date,

Design-Builder evaluation of those impacts and any recovery plans or remedial actions required to comply with the contract schedule.

In no event shall any Project Schedule Update constitute an adjustment in the Contract Time, any deadline, or the Contract Price unless any such adjustment is agreed to by City and authorized pursuant to Change Order or Construction Change Directive.

9.3.4 Condition of Payment. Compliance by Design-Builder with the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the preparation, submission, revising and updating of the Project Schedule is a condition precedent to City’s obligation to make payment to Design -Builder of any o r all sums that might otherwise be due to Design -Builder in the absence of such noncompliance. Payment by City under the circumstances in which City, for any reason, fails or elects not assert its right to withhold payment for noncompliance with this Article shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to withhold future payments on account of such noncompliance or any other noncompliance.

9.3.5 Extraordinary Measures. In the event City determines that the performance of the Work has not progressed or reached the level of completion required by the Contract Documents, City shall have the right to order Design-Builder to take corrective measures necessary to expedite the progress of construction, including, without limitation, the Extraordinary Measures as provided in Paragraph 2.9 herein.

9.3.6 Early Completion . While Design -Builder may schedule completion of the Project earlier than the date established by the Contract Documents, no additional compensation shall become due Design-Builder for the use of float time between Design -Builder's projected early completi on date and the date for Substantial Completion established by the Contract Documents, except any bonus or penalty provisions set forth in the Contract Documents, which would take precedence over and supersede this Paragraph.

9.3.7 Schedule of Submittals . Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Date of Commencement, Design -Builder shall prepare and keep current, for City's review and approval, a Schedule of Submittals for Construction Documents, Sho p Drawings, SAMPLE

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT
Page GC-47
Southwest Substation Upgrade
Product Data, Samples, and similar Submittals, coordinated with the baseline Project Schedule and allowing City reasonable time to review. Design -Builder shall be solely responsible for any delay, disruption, impact, loss of efficiency or other loss, arising directly or indirectly from Design-Builder's failure to manage Submittals properly.

9.3.8 Procurement Schedule . Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Date of Commencement, Design -Builder shall prepare and keep current, for City's approval, a schedule for procurement of materials and equipment which is coordinated with the baseline Project Schedule and allows City reasonable time to review. Design-Builder is solely responsible for any delay, disruption, impact, loss of efficiency, or other loss arising directly or indirectly from Design -Builder's failure to properly manage procurement of equipment and materials.

9.3.9 Performance. Design-Builder shall perform the Work in accordance with the most recent Project Schedule and Schedule of Submittals approved by City. Design-Builder shall monitor the progress of the Work for conformance with the requirements of the Project Schedule and shall promptly advise City of any delays or potential delays.

9.4 Delays and Extensions of Time

9.4.1 Non-Compensable Force Majeure Events . "Force Majeure" shall mean any of the following events, which materially and adversely affect Design -Builder's obligations hereunder and which event could not have been avoided or prevented by due diligence and use of reasonable efforts by Design -Builder:
flood, earthquake, storm, fire, drought and other similar natural catastrophes; blockade, rebellion, war, terrorism, riot, acts of sabotage, or civil commotion; epidemic or pandemic; restraint by court order or public authority and action or non -action by or inability to obtain the necessary authorization or approvals from any governmental agency or authority, which by the exercise of due diligence such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and which by the exercise of due diligence has been unable to overcome; industry -wide labor strike which has a material adverse impact on the Project; discovery of any archaeological, paleontological or cultural resources; spill of hazardous substances by a third party at or near the Site which is requir ed to be reported to the Federal or California Environmental Protection Agency, Toxic Substances Control; discovery at, near, or on the Site of any species listed as "threatened" or "endangered" under the Federal or California Endangered Species Act.

9.4.2 Remedies. If the critical path of the Work is delayed by Force Majeure events, provided that the aforesaid causes were not foreseeable and did not result from the acts of Design-Builder, and provided further that Design -Builder has taken reasonable precautions to p revent further delays owing to such causes, then Design -Builder may pursue remedies for adjustment of the Contract Time in accordance with Paragraph 9.4. Under no circumstances shall Design -Builder be entitled to any additional compensation or recovery of any damages (including without limitation, consequential damages, lost opportunity costs, impact damages or other similar remuneration) for a Force Majeure event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Contract Documents, an extension of Contract Time shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Design-Builder for a Force Majeure event.

9.4.3 Rain Days/Inclement Weather. For purposes of granting time extensions pursuant to this subparagraph and in accordance with the Claims procedures set forth in Article 17 herein, resulting from unworkable days due to rain/inclement weather which were not reasonably foreseeable, Design-Builder and City agree that the impact of rainfall/inclement weather for which Design -Builder is not entitled to a time extension is a total of ten (10) Work Days per year ("Rain Days"). Design -Builder shall account for the above number of Work Days for which the effects of rainfall/inclement weather are expected to prevent Work in the Construction Schedule as set forth in Paragraph 9.3 herein and shall obtain City's approval of Design -Builder's use of each Rain Day before reque sting extension of the Contract Time. If the Rain Days have been utilized and adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional time, then such Claim shall be documented by data substantiating that weather conditions are abnormal for the period of time and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction. Weather data reported through National Climate Data Center using the closest available data reporting station will be used as the basis to establish normal precipitation rates. For pu rposes of this SAMPLE

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT
Page GC-48
Southwest Substation Upgrade
section, a day with accumulation greater than 0.1 inch of precipitation, as reported on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website, will be considered as adverse weather.

9.4.4 Compensable Delays. If the date for Substantial Completion of the Work is delayed as a result of the wrongful acts or negligence of City or anyone for whom City is legally liable and the delays are unforeseeable and are unreasonable under the circumstances involved, Design -Builder shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment of the Contract Time and/or Contract Price directly resulting from such delays, subject to the requirements of Article 9 herein and further provided Design-Builder complies with the notice and procedural requirements of Article 17 herein.

9.4.5 Concurrent Delays. To the extent Design -Builder is entitled to an extension of time due to an excusable delay, but the performance of the critical path of the Work would have been otherwise suspended, delayed, or interrupted by the fault or neglect of Design -Builder or by an inexcusable delay, Design - Builder shall not be entitled to any additional cost during the period of such concurrent delay.

9.4.6 Float. Critical Work activities are defined as Work activities which, if delayed or extended, will delay the scheduled completion of the milestones and/or time of completion. All other Work activities are defined as non-critical Work activities and are considered to have float. Float is defined as the time that a non- critical Work activity can be delayed or extended without delaying the scheduled completion of the milestones and/or time of completion. Float is considered a Project resource available to eith er party or both parties as needed. Once identified, Design-Builder shall monitor, account for, and maintain float in accordance with critical path methodology.

Delays of any non-critical Work shall not be the basis for an extension of Contract Time until the delays consume all float associated with that non-critical Work activity and cause the Work activity to become critical.

9.4.7 Shortage of Materials . An extension of time will not be granted by City for a delay caused by a shortage of materials, except City -furnished materials, unless Design -Builder furnishes to City documented proof that Design-Builder has made every effort to obtain such materials from every known source within reasonable reach of the Work. Design-Builder shall also submit proof, in the form of network analysis data that the inability to obtain such materials when originally planned did, in fact, cause a delay in Final Completion of the Work which could not be compensated for by revising the sequence of operations. City will consider only the physical shortage of material as a cause for extension of time. City will not consider any claim that material could not be obtained at a reasonable, practical, or economical cost, unless it is shown to the satisfaction of City that such material could have been obtained only at exorbitant prices, entirely inconsistent with current rates taking into account the quantities inv olved and the usual practices in obtaining such quantities and that such fact could not have been known or anticipated at the time the Contract was entered into.

9.4.8 Utility and Agency Delays . Design-Builder is aware that private entities, governmental agencies, gas companies, electrical utility companies, water, and other utilities and agencies may be required to approve Design-Builder prepared drawings or approve a proposed installation. Design-Builder has endeavored and will continue to use its best efforts to include the cost of such anticipated delays and related costs which may be caused by such utilities and agencies in the Contract Price. Thus, Design -Builder is not entitled to make claim upon City for damages or delays arising from the delays caused by such entities and agencies. Furthermore, Design-Builder has included time periods for such approvals in the Project Schedule and is not entitled to an extension of time for delays caused by any private entity or governmental agency from which Design-Builder must obtain approvals.

9.4.9 Design-Builder Fault. No extension of time will be granted for any delay to the extent:
(i) that performance was so delayed by any Design-Builder induced causes, including but not limited to the fault or negligence of Design-Builder or its Consultants or Design-Builders; or (ii) for which any remedies are provided for or excluded by any other provision of the Contract.

9.4.10 Contract Modification . A Change Order or Construction Change Directive will be issued by City to Design -Builder within a reasonable period of time after approval of a request for extension of SAMPLE

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT
Page GC-49
Southwest Substation Upgrade
time, specifying the number of days allowed, if any, and the new date or number of calendar days after the date of commencement for completion of the Work or specified portions of the Work.

9.4.11 No Release of Surety . An extension of time granted shall not release Design- Builder's surety from its obligations. Work shall continue and be carried on in accordance with all the provisions of the Contract and said Contract shall be and shall remain in full force and effec t during the continuance and until the Final Completion and final acceptance of the Work covered by the Contract unless formally suspended or annulled in accordance with the terms of the Contract.

9.4.12 No Waiver . Neither the grant of an extension of time beyond the date fixed for Substantial Completion of the Work, nor the performance and acceptance of any part of the Work or materials specified by the Contract after the time specified for Substantial Completion of the Work, shall be deemed to be a grant of any future extensions, a wavier by City of City's right to abrogate this Contract for abandonment or failure to complete within the time specified, or to impose and deduct damages as may be provided in the Contract Documents.

10. PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION

10.1 Contract Price
The Contract Price, including authorized adjustments, is the total maximum amount payable by City to Design-Builder for performance of the Work under the Contract Documents.

10.2 Schedule of Values

The value of any item in the Schedule of Values shall not exceed the sum of $50,000 without City approval. The approved Schedule of Values shall be used as a basis for reviewing Design- Builder's Applications for Payment. If at any time it is determined that the Schedule Values does not allocate the Contract Price in a manner that reasonably and fairly reflects the actual costs anticipated to progressively incurred by Design-Builder, it shall be revised and resubmitted for approval by City.

10.3 Applications for Payment

10.3.1 Applications for Payment. Design-Builder shall submit to City an itemized Application for Payment, utilizing a form approved in writing by City, for operations completed in accordance with the Schedule of Values and the payment provisions of the Agreement.

Such payments shall only be considered upon submission by Design -Builder of satisfactory evidence that it has acquired title to same, that the material or equipment will be utilized in the Work and that the material is satisfactorily stored, protected and insured, and that such other procedures are in place satisfactory to City to protect City’s interest. To be considered for payment, materials or equipment stored off-site shall, in addition to the above requirements and unless otherwise specifically approved by City in writing, be stored in a bonded warehouse, fully insured and available to City for inspection. City shall have sole discretion to determine the amount of material and equipment that may be stored on the Site at any given time.

Design-Builder shall by appropriate agreement with each Design Consultant, Subcontractor and supplier, require each Subcontractor to make payments in a similar manner. City will, on request, furnish to a Design Consultant, Subcontractor or supplier, if practicable, information regarding percentages of completion or amounts applied for by Design -Builder and action taken thereon by City on account of portions of the Work done by each. Pursuant to Public Contract Code §20133(k)(2) in a contract between Design-Builder and Design Consultant or Subcontractor, or between a Design -Builder and Subcontractor, the percentage of the retention proceeds withheld may not exceed the percentage specified in the Contract between City and Design -Builder. If Design-Builder provides written notice to any Subcontractor, prior to or at the time the bid is requested, that a performance and payment bond may be required and the Subcontractor subsequently is unable or refu ses to furnish a bond to Design -Builder, then Design -Builder may withhold retention proceeds in excess of the percentage specified in the Contract between City and Design-Builder from any payment made by Design-Builder to the Subcontractor.

10.4.2 Withhold for Disputes . In the event of a dispute between City and Design -Builder, City may withhold from payments an amount not to exceed 150% of the disputed amount. When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be made for amounts previously withheld.

10.4.3 Withhold for Stop Payment Notice Claims . If at any time there shall be evidence of the existence, whether or not same has been asserted, of any stop payment notice, or claim arising out of or in connection with the performance or default in performance of this Contract or any subcontract or supply contract entered into by Design -Builder to perform this Contract, and if City might become liable for the discharge of or satisfaction of such stop payment notice or claim, then City shall have the right to retain out of any payment then due or thereafter to become due, in addition to the amounts set forth above, an amount sufficient to discharge such stop payment notice or satisfy such claim and to reimburse City for all costs and expenses in connection therewith, including attorneys' fees. Further, City, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to discharge or satisfy such stop payment notice or claim and pay all costs and expenses in connection therewith if Design-Builder does not have such stop payment notice or claim discharged or satisfied within ten (10) calendar days after receiving notice to remove the stop payment notice or claim from City or unless some other procedure for discharge or satisfaction of such claim is agreed between City and Design-Builder. If the amounts retained are insufficient for the aforesaid purposes, or if such stop payment notice or claim remains undischarged or unsatisfied after all payments have been made to Design-Builder, then Design-Builder shall refund to City all monies th at may have been paid to discharge such stop payment notice or satisfy such claims, including the costs, expenses, and attorney's fees in connection therewith.

City shall release any payments withheld due to a stop payment notice claim if Design -Builder obtains a release bond that is: (i) issued by a surety acceptable to City, that is different than the surety on the Payment Bond, and admitted to issue surety bon ds by the California Department of Insurance in the State of the Project; (ii) is in SAMPLE

10.5.2 Joint Checks or Direct Payments . The City shall have no obligation to pay or to see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law. City, however, reserves the right, in its sole discretion for reasonable cause, to make payments to Design -Builder in the form of checks payable jointly to Design -Builder and to any of Design -Builder's Subcontractors or suppliers or, upon notice to Design-Builder with the opportunity to object, payments directly to Design Consultants, Subcontractors and suppliers, in satisfaction of City's obligation to make payments to Design-Builder.

10.5.3 Payment Not Acceptance of Work. A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by City shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

10.5.4 Retention. From each progress payment, five percent (5%) will be deducted and retained by City and the remainder, less the amount of all previous payments and less the amounts needed to satisfy outstanding stop payment notices, will be paid to Design-Builder. Design-Builder may, at Design-Builder's sole cost and expense, substitute securities equivalent to any monies withheld by City to insure performance under this Contract. Such security shall be deposited with City or a state or federally chartered bank as escrow agent, who shall pay such monies to Design-Builder upon satisfactory completion of the Contract. Design-Builder shall be the beneficiary of any security substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any accrued interest thereon. Securities eligible for investment shall include those listed in Government Code § 16430 or bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit. No such substitution shall be accepted until the Escrow Agreement, Forms of Security and any other document related to said substitution is reviewed and found acceptable by City, nor unless Design-Builder shall have notified City of its intention to substitute securities for retainage within ten (10) days of the signing of the Agreement.

10.6 Substantial Completion

10.6.1 Design-Builder Request for Inspection and Punch List . When Design -Builder considers that the Work is substantially complete, Design-Builder shall prepare and submit to City Engineer and City a request for such inspection and a comprehensive Punch List of items to be completed or corrected prior to Final Payment. Failure to include an item on such Punch List does not alter the responsibility of Design-Builder to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

10.6.2 City Inspection . Upon receipt of Design -Builder's Punch List, City Engineer will inspect to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is Substantially Complete. If the inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on Design-Builder's Punch List, which is not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that City can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its intended use, Design-Builder shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by City. In such case, Design-Builder shall then submit a request for another inspection by City to determine Substantial Completion.

10.6.3 Certificate of Substantial Completion. When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, City Engineer will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of City and Design -Builder for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and shall fix the time within which Design - SAMPLE

Builder shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of all Work.

10.6.4 City's Acceptance . The Certificate of Substantial Completion prepared by City Engineer shall be submitted to Design -Builder for written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to Design - Builder and City in such Certificate. Upon such acceptance and consent of surety, provided the requirements for Substantial Completion Payment set forth in the Agreement are met, City shall make payment to Design -Builder for the cost of undisputed Work in place. City, however, shall be entitled to withhold retainage equaling 150% of the estimated cost of the following items until Final Completion:
(1) Punch List items;
(2) All items necessary to obtain the Final Certificate of Occupancy identified in the Contract Documents as the Work of Design-Builder;
(3) As-Built and Record Documents;

12.5 Notice and Legal Defense
Promptly after receipt by an lndemnitee of any claim or notice of the commencement of any action, administrative or legal proceeding, or investigation in connection with an actual or potential claim from a third party as to which any indemnity provided for in this Article may apply, the lndemnitee will notify the City and Design-Builder in writing of such fact. Any delay in an lndemnitee's notifying Design -Builder of any such claim or notice will not excuse Design-Builder of its obligations hereunder. Upon Design­ Builder's receipt of such notice, Design-Builder shall assume, on behalf of the lndemnitee, and conduct with due diligence and in good faith, the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the lndemnitee. However, the lndemnitee shall have the right at its own expense to be represented therein by advisory counsel of its own selection. Further, if the defendants in any such action include both Design-Builder and the lndemnitee, and if the lndemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from, additional to, or inconsistent with those available to Design -Builder, then the lndemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its own behalf and at Design-Builder’s expense.

12.6 Failure to Defend Action
If any third party claim arises as to which any indemnity provided for in this Article may apply, and Design- Builder fails to assume the defense of such claim promptly after the receipt by Design -Builder of notification thereof, then the lndemnitee against which the claim is instituted or commenced may, at Design -Builder's expense, contest, or (with the prior written consent of Design -Builder, not to be unreasonably withheld) settle such claim. However, no such contest need be made and settlement or full p ayment of any such claim may be made without Design -Builder's consent (with Design -Builder remaining obligated to indemnify the lndemnitee under this Article) if, in the written opinion of the lndemnitee's legal counsel, such claim is meritorious. All cost s and expenses incurred by lndemnitee or City in connection with any such contest, settlement or payment may be deducted from any amounts due to Design-Builder under this Agreement, with all such costs in excess of the amount deducted to be reimbursed by Design-Builder to City or the lndemnitee promptly following, but not later than thirty (30) days following, City’s or Indemnitee’s demand therefor. In the event and to the extent that City makes a deduction as described in the preceding sentence, then City shall be responsible for making appropriate payments to any Indemnitees, and shall indemnify Design -Builder for any claims by the Indemnitees arising out of City’s failure to make such payments.

12.7 Survival
The provisions of this Article shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

(d) All required insurance coverage shall be written on occurrence forms (except for the pollution liability microbial matter and professional liability coverages) unless Design -Builder secures City’s prior written permission allowing a specific coverage to be written on a claims-made form. Should any portion of the required insurance be on a "Claims Made" policy, the Design -Builder shall, at the policy expiration date following completion of work, provide evidence that the "Claims Made" policy has been renewed or replaced with the same limits, terms and conditions of the expiring policy, or that a five (5) year extended discovery period has been purchased on the expiring policy at least for the contract under which the Work was performed; provided that in either event the retroactive date shall not be changed to any date that is more current than that which was on the expiring policy.
(e) In the event City suffers damages and/or a claim or other legal action is filed against City, and if City, in its good faith opinion, believes it may have coverage under any of the insurance required herein, then City has the right to demand, and to receive within seven calendar days of the City’s request for same, copies of the insurance policies related to such required insurance; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply if the parties agree that Design -Builder shall fully defend, hold h armless, and indemnify City against any such damages, claim or other legal action. As a condition of such demand and receipt, Design -Builder may require City to provide to Design-Builder a confidentiality statement, drafted by City and consistent with City’s customary confidentiality language. Such confidentiality statement shall include, at a minimum, language to the effect that City shall not disclose said insurance policy unless required to do so by applicable law, rule or regulation, or a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that City shall provide Design- Builder prior written notice of any such request for disclosure and exercise its best efforts to afford Design-Builder an opportunity to contest the discl osure and/or limit the extent of the disclosure to the maximum extent practicable.

Such policies shall comply with all terms, conditions, and requirements set forth herein. (g) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Design - Builder may be held responsible for payment of damages to persons or property resulting from Design -Builder’s (or Subcontractor’s) work under the Agreement.
(h) The above insurance requirements are subject to periodic review by City. City's Risk Manager is authorized, but not required, to reduce or waive any of the above insurance requirements whenever the City’s Risk Manager determines that any of the above insurance is not available, is unreasonably priced, or is not needed to protect the interest of City. In addition, the City’s Risk Manager is authorized, but not required, to change the above insurance requirements to require additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage limits. Any additional cost resulting from such coverage change shall be paid by City upon demonstrated evidence such as an insurance carrier provided invoice or similar acceptable instrument that authenticates such cost. Similarly, any reduction in cost shall reduce the Contract Price pursuant to a Change Order. (i) Failure to maintain and provide acceptable evidence of the required insurance for the required period of coverage shall constitute a breach of contract, upon which City may immediately terminate or suspend the Agreement or invoke another remedy that the Agreement or the law allows. Alternatively, at is sole discretion and without waiving any other rights it may have pursuant to law, City has the right but not the duty to obtain or renew the insurance and pay all or part of the premiums. Upon demand, De sign-Builder shall repay City for all SAMPLE

Page GC-73
Southwest Substation Upgrade
sums or monies that City paid to obtain, renew or reinstate the insurance or the City may offset the cost of the premium against any sums or monies that City may owe Design-Builder. (j) Understanding that Design -Builder is liable to City for the acts, errors, and omissions of all Subcontractors, of any tier, it is up to the Design -Builder to determine the proper insurance coverages, limits, terms, and conditions to be carried by all S ubcontractors, of any tier. However, should the Design -Builder elect to be named as an additional insured on any Subcontractor’s required policies of insurance, Design-Builder shall ensure that City is so named as well.
(k) Unless otherwise directed by City in writing, Design -Builder shall be responsible for reporting and processing all potential claims by City or Design-Builder against the insurance required to be provided under this Article. Design -Builder agrees to re port timely to the insurer(s) any known matters which may give rise to insurance claim and to promptly and diligently pursue any and all insurance claims on behalf of City, whether for defense or indemnity, or both. City agrees to promptly notify Design-Builder of City’s incidents, potential claims, and matters which may give rise to an insurance claim by City, to tender its defense or the claim to Design - Builder, and to cooperate with Design-Builder as necessary for Design-Builder to fulfill its duties hereunder. (l) This insurance provisions contained in this Agreement are separate and independent from the indemnification and defense provisions in Article 12.

17.1.1 Definition. The term "Claim" or "Claims" shall mean a separate demand by Design - Builder for: (i) a time extension; (ii) payment of money or damages arising from Work done by or on behalf of Design-Builder pursuant to this Contract and payment of which is not otherwis e expressly provided or Design - Builder is not otherwise entitled to; or (iii) an amount the payment of which is disputed by City.

17.1.2 Notification of Third -Party Claims . City shall provide Design -Builder with prompt written notice upon City's receipt of any third party claim relating to the Contract.

17.1.3 Claims by Design -Builder. If a lower tier contractor lacks legal standing to assert a Claim against the City because privity of contract does not exist, Design -Builder may elect to present the Claim to the City on behalf of the lower tier contractor. Any Claim presented by a lower tier contractor must comply with all requirements applicable to Claims by the Design- Builder, as well as the requirements set forth in Public Contract Code § 9204(d)(5). Design -Builder shall incorporate into all subcontracts a dispute resolution procedure that will permit Design-Builder to satisfy all time, notice, and backup documentation requirements of this Article with respect to Claims by a lower tier contractor, as well as all requirements of Public Contract Code § 9204 that are applicable to Design-Builder.

This notice shall be given by the Design -Builder before proceeding to execute the Work affected by the event, except in an emergency endangering life or property, in which case the Design -Builder shall proceed in accordance with Article 11.

17.1.5 Formal Notice of Essence. Design-Builder hereby recognizes and acknowledges that timely submission of a complete request for time extension, whether or not the circumstances of the Claim is known by City or available to City through other means or from other sources, is not a mere formality but is of crucial importance to the ability of City to promptly identify, prioritize, evaluate and mitigate the potential effects of any Claim. Any forms of informal notice, whether oral or written (including, without limitation, statements at regular job meetings or entries in monthly reports, daily logs, job meeting minutes, updated construction schedules or look -ahead schedules), that do not strictly comply with the formal requirements of this Contract shall therefore be deemed insufficient to satisfy the notice requirements of this Article 17. Failure by Design - SAMPLE

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT
Page GC-85
Southwest Substation Upgrade
Builder to provide a timely and complete notice as required by this Article shall constitute a waiver by Design - Builder of the right to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time on account of such circumstances.

17.1.6 Resolution. City will issue a Change Order or a Construction Change Directive to Design-Builder within a reasonable period of time after City's approval of any Claim, specifying the additional cost and/or time, if any, approved by City.

17.1.8 Exclusion of Consequential Damages . In no event shall City or Design -Builder be liable to the other party for any special, indirect or incidental consequential damages resulting from a breach of the Contract by the other party, whether in contract, tort or other theory of law, such as revenue losses, loss of use, loss of opportunity, cost of capital, debt service, loss of profit, including profit on related contracts or claims of taxpayers, provided that this limitation shall not exclude or affect:
(1) The rights and remedies of the parties expressly set forth in the Contract Documents, such as Design -Builder’s obligation to pay liquidated damages and Design-Builder’s obligation to pay City’s costs of completing Work; (2) Design-Builder’s obligation to pay City’s costs of repair or of correcting or replacing non-conforming Work;
(3) Liability for fraud, reckless or willful misconduct, gross negligence, or criminal acts;
(4) Any liability with respect to indemnification for third party claims; or (5) Any liability for any type of damage or loss to the extent it is covered by the proceeds of insurance.

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT
Page GC-86
Southwest Substation Upgrade
the three categories set forth above and will materially affect the cost or time to complete the Work, a Change Order or Construction Change Directive will be issued by City adjusting the compensation for such portion of Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. If City determines that the conditions do not justify an adjustment in compensation or the Contract Time, Design-Builder will be notified in writing. Should Design-Builder disagree with the decision, Design -Builder may submit a written notice of potential claim to City before commencing the disputed Work. In the event of such a dispute, Design-Builder shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided by the Contract Documents and shall proceed with all Work to be performed under the Contract Documents. Design -Builder's failure to give notice of changed conditions within ten (10) calendar days of their discovery and before they are disturbed shall constitute a waiver of all claims in connection therewith.

17.1.11 Utility Work. Design-Builder acknowledges and agrees that no change in Contract Price and/or Contract Time will be allowed for omissions or other inaccuracies in information provided by City in the RFP regarding the above -ground utilities, appurtenances to main or trunk line utilities, service lines or any other utilities that do not constitute main or trunk line utilities.
