The term of this Contract shall commence upon the date of the City’s issuance to Contractor of a Notice to Proceed with the Work, and shall expire upon Contractor’s completion of the Work to the reasonable satisfaction of City, which shall be signified by City’s issuance of a Notice of Completion in the form prescribed by law . All of covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Contract Documents, including indemnification obligations, that are intended to bind the Parties after the completion of the Project or termination of the Contract Documents , will survive such completion or termination for the periods provided for in the Contract Documents or otherwise allowed by law. City or Contractor may terminate the Contract only as provided in the Contract Documents.
4. PRICE AND PAYMENT.
4.1 Contract Price. This Agreement is a Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract (or GMP as Not -To- Exceed Price, NTE, or NTX), and Contractor shall be responsible for any and all cost overruns unless the GMP established by this Agreement is increased via a formal change order; and o nly as a result of additional scope from the City, as opposed to price overruns, delays, errors, or omissions.
(a) Compensation. The GMP of this Agreement, and the maximum total compensation that shall be due and payable by the City to Contractor for complete performance of the Work and completion of the Project, shall not exceed ________________________________ ($_________) ("Compensation"), which comprises Contractor's GMAX Bid.
(b) Accuracy of GMAX Bid. Contractor represents that its GMAX Bid and estimated costs to complete the Project reflect the best professional estimate of actual costs anticipated. The Compensation is the maximum price that the City and the Contractor agree upon as payment for providing all the Work and completing the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents, and is the complete and total sum that shall be payable by City for any and all costs, direct or indirect, of Contractor for provision of the Work and construction of t he Project, including but not limited to general and supplementary conditions, performance and payment bonds, design and engineering, cost of Equipment or materials, Contractor fee for construction, and Contractor overhead and profit, and any other items of costs, accounting, or expense relating to or arising therefrom. In the event that Direct Cost is more than Contractor's GMAX Bid, Contractor shall be responsible for any and all cost overruns unless the GMP established by this Agreement is increased via a formal change order; and only if such overruns result of additional scope from the City, as opposed to price overruns, delays, errors, or omissions. In either event the dollar amount paid by the City for the Contractor Fee shall remain unchanged. Should Contractor believe that it is entitled to additional compensation or time, it must request such compensation pursuant to the provisions governing Change Orders (Section 8) and/or provisions governing Claims (Section 7.6).
4.2 Retention. City shall retain an amount equal to 5% of each Progress Payment made for the Project.
19 4.3 Payment Schedule. The Progress Payment Milestones defined in this Section shall be used as the basis for preparation of progress invoices. Subject to Section 4.9 and except as provided in the Agreement, City shall pay to Contractor the applicable Progress Payment set forth in the Progress Payment Milestones when:
(a) Contractor has completed the Work associated with such payment in accordance with the Progress Payment Milestones;
(b) Following submittal of the supporting documentation required for the respective Progress Payment Milestones to the satisfaction of the City;
(c) Following submittal of Payment Application; and
(d) Subject to Retention as provided in Section 4.2.

Each monthly progress report shall be certified by Contractor as being true and correct as of the date of such Payment Application. Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by a Payment Application will pass to the City no later than the time of payment.
4.5 Review of Progress Payment. City will, within seven (7) days after receipt of Contractor’s Payment Application, either approve such payment or notify Contractor in writing of City’s reasons for withholding approval in whole or in part. The review of Contractor’s Payment Application by City is based on City’s observations at the Site and the data comprising the Payment Application whether the Work has progressed to the point indicated and whether, to the best of City’s knowledge, information, and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. City will pay Contractor the amount City approves pursuant to Section 4.7 within 30 days after the Payment Application was properly submitted.
4.6 Decisions to Withhold Payment. City may withhold payment, in whole, or in part, to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to protect the City from loss because of any acts or omissions by Contractor, including any rights to withhold mentioned in the Contract Documents.
4.7 Progress Payment Milestones. Progress Payments shall be made in accordance with California Public Contract Code section 20104.50. City shall pay the Contract Price to Contractor on percent completion basis in accordance with the Schedule of Values in Attachment 2, and after Contractor has complied with the requirements of this Section 4.7 and the Contract Documents (each, a “ Progress Payment Milestone”):
(a) General Provision for Progress Payment Milestones.
(i) Progress Payments: As the Work progresses, Contractor will submit to City its Payment Applications based on the progress made on the Project through the date on which Contractor submits such application for payment. Only one Payment Application shall be submitted per calendar month. Each line item contained in the Schedule of Values will be assigned a value such that the total of all items equals the Contract Price, and Payment Applications will be in accordance with the Schedule of Values.
(ii) Mobilization and Equipment Deposits: Notwithstanding paragraph (i) above, upon request a “Mobilization Payment” equal to five (5) percent of the Contract Price, and an “Equipment Deposits” equal to five (5) percent of the Contract Price, shall be paid by City to Contractor upon City’s issuance of a Notice to Proceed. Such amounts shall be deducted from the ensuing Progress Payment made by City to Contractor such that all future Progress Payments shall correspond with Progress Completion Milestones.
(iii) Final Payment: Five (5) percent of the Contract Price upon filing of the project Notice of Completion, less any amounts properly withheld by City in accordance with the Contract Documents, until
20 such time, if any, that such amount or amounts may be or are required to be released in accordance with the Contract Documents.
4.8 Payments and Information to Subcontractors . No later than seven (7) days after Contractor receives payment from City, pursuant to California Business and Professions Code section 7108.5, Contractor shall pay to each Subcontractor, out of the amount paid to Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled under the parties ’ Subcontract and payment terms, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work. Contractor shall, by appropriate Subcontract with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to sub -subcontractors in a similar manner.
City has no obligation to pay, or to see to the payment of, money to a Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law.
4.9 Waivers and Releases. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of each progress payment and the Final Payment, Contractor shall provide (and shall cause its first-tier Suppliers and Subcontractors to provide) to City a conditional lien waiver and release (related to the Progress Payment as applicable) in a form substantially similar to the forms attached hereto as Attachment 5 (“Lien Release Forms”).
4.10 Progress Payment Terms . The obligation of the City to pay Progress Payments hereunder shall constitute a current expense of City and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of the City in contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitations or requirements concerning the creation of indebtedness by City, nor shall anything contained herein constitute a pledge of the general tax revenues, funds, or moneys of City.
4.11 Completion of Work. Upon receipt of the Contractor’s signed Final Completion Certificate, City will make an inspection to determine whether the Work, or designated portion thereof, is complete. If City’s inspection discloses any item which is not completed in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, Contractor shall, before City’s issuance of the Notice of Completion and Final Payment, diligently complete or correct such item.
4.12 Partial Occupancy or Use. To the extent reasonably practicable based on the particular portion of the scope of Work, City may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage without accepting that Work and without waiving rights to claim damages as to that Work (to the extent expressly permitted herein). City and Contractor shall agree in writing to the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, insurance, the period for correction of the Work, and the commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents.
4.13 Acceptance, Final Completion Certificate and Final Payment . If City’s representatives find the Work fully performed under the Contract Documents, they shall so notify Contractor, who shall then submit to City its final Application for Payment. After City’s representatives find the Work fully performed, City’s governing body should accept the Work as fully complete. After completion, City may record a Final Completion Certificate with the County Recorder in accordance with California Civil Code section 3093.
Contractor shall, upon receipt of Final Payment from City, pay the amounts due Subcontractors. City shall pay the retainage pursuant to California Public Contract Code section 7107. Any application for Final Payment shall be accompanied by the same details required for regular progress payments. Acceptance of the Final Payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims except for those previously identified in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of final payment.
4.14 Taxes. Contractor will pay all applicable Federal, State, and local taxes on all materials, labor, or services furnished by it, and all taxes arising out of its operations under the Contract Documents.
4.15 Limitations on Compensation. The “Contract Price” includes the total, not to exceed guaranteed maximum compensation that will be paid to Contractor in connection with the Work and Project called for by this Contract, including: (a) all costs for all labor, materials, work or equipment needed to deliver a “turnkey” Project in compliance with the Contract Documents; and (b) any and all construction management
21 fees, overhead, administrative charges, profit, or compensation of any other kind or nature to be paid Contractor in consideration for the Work.
5. COMMENCEMENT AND SCHEDULE
5.1 Project Schedule. Time is of the essence in this Contract (subject to any notice requirements and cure periods set forth herein), and, subject to the terms of the Contract Documents, the date for Substantial Completion of the Project shall be the Completion Date set forth in the Project Schedule in Attachment 3, and Contractor shall develop, design, install and commission the Project and perform all Work hereunder in accordance with the Project Schedule.
5.2 Project Phases and Notice to Proceed. The Effective Date shall not be postponed by the failure to act of Contractor or of persons or entities for which Contractor is responsible. The Work on the Project shall be performed in accordance with the following phased approach:
(a) Design Phase . Contractor shall prepare and deliver all Engineering Documents to City for review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. City shall diligently review and respond to each submission by Contractor within twenty (20) days. Contractor shall incorporate City’s comments and requested changes unless Contractor can demonstrate that such requested changes would materially impact the Contract Price, the Project Schedule, or any other material requirement of the Contract Documents in which case Contractor shall submit a Change Order. Upon resolution of the provision hereinabove set forth, Contractor shall complete and submit revised Engineering Documents as early as is practical but in all cases within 20 days.
(b) Governmental Approval Phase. Upon City’s written approval of Engineering Documents, Contractor shall seek all such approvals of all required Engineering Documents and the Project as may be required by any Governmental Authority. Contractor shall exercise all reasonable diligence to ensure that all necessary Governmental Approvals are received by the date specified in the Project Schedule. City shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any modifications to the Engineering Documents that may be requested by any Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental agency with jurisdiction over the Project or the Work, excepting any changes that materially affect the Contract Price or that materially affect the Project. The Engineering Documents with all changes as necessitated by any Governmental Authority and as approved by City shall constitute the 100% Engineering Documents and serve as the basis for construction. The receipt and approval of the one hundred percent (100%) Engineering Documents and copies of all Governmental Approvals by the City shall constitute the completion of the Governmental Approval Phase.
(c) Construction Phase. Following completion of the Governmental Approval Phase , Contractor shall facilitate, or cooperate with City in its efforts to facilitate, a kick -off meeting with City, Contractor, Subcontractors, and any other third-parties deemed necessary by the Parties . Following the kick -off meeting, Contractor shall commence the construction of the Project in accordance with the one hundred percent (100%) Engineering Documents and all other Contract Documents.
(d) Substantial Completion. When Contractor believes it has achieved Substantial Completion, Contractor shall notify City of the same and the City shall expeditiously work to inspect and confirm. Within ten (10) business days after Contractor’s submission or City’s independent confirmation of all items required for Substantial Completion, whichever last occurs, City shall either (i) acknowledge and agree in a writing delivered to Contractor that the Project has been satisfactorily completed, or (ii) advise Contractor by written notice that Substantial Completion has not been achieved and identify any missing items or defects or deficiencies in the Work for which Contractor is responsible or any other reason why the requirements of Substantial Completion have not been met. Substantial Completion shall be achieved when, and completion of the Construction Phase requires that:
(1) The Project has been built in conformance with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents;
22 (2) The Project complies with all applicable Legal Requirements and has passed all required inspections by any applicable Governmental Authority and all applicable Governmental Approvals have been received and copies thereof have been delivered to City;
(3) Contractor shall have delivered a true, correct, and complete certification of Substantial Completion signed by Contractor.
(f) Final Completion. When Contractor believes it has achieved Final Completion, Contractor shall deliver to City the written Final Completion Certificate which certificate shall certify the Final Completion Date and the Contractors achievement of Final Completion. Within ten (10) business days after Contractor’s submission or City’s independent receipt of all items required for Final Completion, City shall deliver such certificate to Contractor, acknowledged and agreed by City, and confirming the Final Completion Date (the “Final Completion Certificate”). The Project may only be accepted as complete by action of the City. Final Completion requires that:
(1) Contractor has received all local, state and federal Governmental Approvals and other approvals as may be required by Applicable Law for the operation and maintenance of the Project, including approvals, if any, required under the CEQA for the Project;
(2) City has received from Contractor all Equipment and Project manuals including two (2) sets of full size as-built drawings approved and stamped by the engineer of record (as built drawings shall also be provided to City in PDF and native file format);
(3) All Contractor’s materials and wastes have been removed from the Site and properly disposed;
(4) All Punchlist Work with respect to the Project and the Site has been completed to the City’s reasonable satisfaction;

5.3 Hours of Work
(a) Sufficient Forces. Contractors and Subcontractors shall furnish sufficient forces to ensure the prosecution of the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule.
(b) Performance During Work Hours. Work shall be performed during regular working hours except that in the event of an emergency or when required to complete the Work in accordance with job progress, Work may be performed outside of regular working hours with the advance written consent of the City.
Subject to City’s advance written approval, Work may also be performed outside of regular working hours to minimize disruption to City operations.
5.4 Progress and Completion. Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. By executing the Contract, Contractor confirms that the Project Schedule is a reasonable period for performing the Work. Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of City, in writing, commence operations on the Site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by this Contract to be furnished by Contractor. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance. Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Completion within the Project Schedule, subject to any extension rights set forth in this Contract. Upon request, Contractor shall submit its daily logs for the monthly period with the updated schedule. Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either Party but it is a jointly owned expiring Project resource available to both Parties as needed to meet the Project Schedule.
23 5.5 Progress Meetings. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents and subject to change by City, the Parties shall meet at least biweekly during performance of Work to, among other things, review Work performed to date and to be performed. Contractor shall organize the meeting, prepare, and distribute meeting minutes. Meeting minutes shall be taken in satisfactory written form and include a three (3) week look-ahead schedule, Request for Information log, and Change Order log, as applicable. Meeting minutes shall be updated during the meeting and distributed within three (3) Business Days of the meeting and City shall have 5 business days after City’s receipt of such minutes to object to them in writing and provide corrections in writing. A quorum of meeting attendees will be named at the first meeting. The named quorum shall be in attendance in all Project meetings.
5.6 Conformity with Project Schedule. Contractor shall prosecute the Work, and shall cause each Subcontractor to prosecute the Work, so that the portion of the Work completed at any point in time shall be not less than as is required by the Project Schedule (subject to any extension rights set forth in this Contract). If the rate of progress is such that the total amount of Work and/or the degree of completion of the Work accomplished by Contractor within any time period required by the Project Schedule and/or the Contract Documents is less than the amount therein sp ecified to be completed within such time, and it reasonably appears that Contractor will be unable to complete the Work by the Completion Date, Contractor shall so notify City within ten (10) Days of Contractor’s knowledge of the delay, or City may notify Contractor of the same. Contractor shall, within ten (10) Business Days of Contractor’s knowledge of such delay or receipt of any such notice from City, submit a Recovery Plan to City allowing for completion of the Work on the Project by the Completion Date. If City directs Contractor in writing to implement the Recovery Plan, then Contractor shall do so within ten (10) Business Days or such request. If City, acting reasonably, does not agree that Contractor has demonstrated in the proposed Recovery Plan its ability to recapture lost time, meet interim milestones and complete the relevant portion of the Work by the applicable scheduled date or deadline, and the reasons therefor are not an Excusable Delay as outlined in this Contract, City may, without prejudice to any other right or remedies it may have, take one or more of the following actions: (a) require Contractor to employ such extraordinary measures as are necessary to bring the Work into conformity with the Project Schedule, including, without limitation, requiring Contracto r to increase its work force, work overtime, and/or extra shifts (at Contractor’s sole cost and expense); and/or (b) withhold Progress Payments or portions thereof until such time as the Work is in conformity with the Project Schedule. If the cause for Contractor’s inability to meet the Completion Date are as a result of an Excusable Delay , then the terms of Section 5.7 shall dictate.
5.7 Extensions of Time – Liquidated Damages
(a) Excusable Delay. Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order because of any delays in completion of the Work due to Excusable Events. Contractor has the burden of providing reasonable evidence that any delay was directly caused by an Excusable Event.
(b) Notice by Contractor Required. Contractor shall within 10 days of knowledge of any delay due to an Excusable Event notify City in writing thereof. The Parties will then meet and confer in good faith to determine the reasonableness of Contractor’s claimed delay due to an Excusable Event, the facts and extent thereof, and whether any extension of time for completing the Work is reasonably appropriate.
Extensions of time shall apply only to that portion of the Work affected by the delay and shall not apply to other portions of the Work not so affected. Except as otherwise set forth in this Contract, the sole remedy of Contractor for delays resulting or arising from an Excusable Event shall be an extension of the Project Schedule at no cost to City, and no increase to the Cont ract Price or compensation paid Contractor shall result.
(c) Conditions for Extension of Time. If Contractor is delayed at any time in progress of the Work by an Excusable Event, or by changes in the Work justifying a Change Order, then the Project Schedule shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as required under the circumstances. Claims relating to time extensions shall be made in accordance with Section 7.6 of this Contract.
24 (d) Early Completion. If Contractor submits a revised schedule showing an earlier completion date for the Project, City’s acceptance of this revised schedule shall not entitle Contractor to any additional compensation or Claim due to any such revised schedule (nor shall it subject Contractor to Liquidated Damages based on such earlier completion date). Regardless of the ca use therefore, the Contractor may not maintain any Claim or cause of action against City for damages incurred as a result of its failure or inability to complete the Work or the Project in a shorter period than established in the Contract Documents.
(e) Liquidated Damages. Subject to the limitation of liability specified below, if Contractor fails to cause Substantial Completion to occur on or prior to the Completion Date, as may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Contract, Contractor shall pay City as its sole and exclusive remedy therefor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to the liquidated damages specified in this subsection (e) (the “Liquidated Damages”). The actual occurrence of damages and the actual amount of the damages which the City would suffer if the Work were not completed within the specified times set forth are dependent upon many circumstances and conditions which could prevail in various combinations, and it is impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages. Damages that City would suffer in the event of delay include, but are not limited to, loss of the use of the Project and each individual Site, and the energy savings afforded by the Project and each individual Site, disruption of activities, costs of administration, supervision and the loss suffered by the public. Accordingly, the Parties agree that an amount not to exceed $XXXX for each day by which the Work, or portion thereof, is delayed beyond the Completion Date shall be the amount of damages which the City shall directly incur upon failure of the Contractor to cause Substantial Completion of the entire Project to occur on or prior to the Completion Date (the “LD Rate”). If Contractor becomes liable under this Section, City, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, shall have the right to withhold any and all retained percentages of payments, and to collect the interest thereon, which would otherwise be or become due the Contractor until the liability of the Contractor under this Section has been finally determined. If th e retained percentage is not sufficient to discharge all liabilities of Contractor incurred unde r this Section, Contractor and its sureties shall continue to remain liable to City for such liabilities until all such liabilities are satisfied in full. If City accepts any Work or makes any Progress Payment under this Contract after a default by reason of delays, the payment or payments shall not constitute a waiver or modification of any Contract provisions regarding time of completion and Liquidated Damages.
5.9 Delays Due to Project Site Activities . City shall not be liable for any damages or compensation to Contractor resulting from, arising out of, or related to any delays caused by scheduled activities at the Site where Contractor was notified in writing of such scheduled activities prior to signing this Contract, including City’s construction projects and other events which would require access to Site. Where City did not inform Contractor in writing of such scheduled activities, or required activities ar ise during the Project that were not scheduled prior to Contract signing and that impact the Project Schedule, Contractor shall be entitled to reasonable additional time for the Project Schedule and an adjustment to Contract Price in accordance with a Change Order. If any part of Contractor’s Work depends on proper execution or results upon work of any other contractor (“Other Contractor Work ”), the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to City in writing any defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results.
(a) Contractor will be held liable for damages to City for that Other Contractor Work (as defined above and as used in this section only) which it failed to inspect or should have inspected. Contractor’s failure to inspect and report shall constitute its acceptance of Other Contractor Work as fit and proper for reception of its work, except as to defects which may develop in other contractors’ work after execution of Contractor’s work. To ensure proper execution of its subsequent work, Contractor shall mea sure and inspect Other Contractor Work already in place and shall at once report to the City in writing any discrepancy between completed Other Contractor Work and Contract Documents.
(b) It is the obligation of Contractor to ascertain to its own satisfaction the scope of the Project and nature of any other contracts that have been or may be awarded by City in prosecution of the Project, if any.
25 (c) Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted as granting to Contractor exclusive occupancy of the Project. Contractor shall not cause any unnecessary hindrance or delay to any other contractor working on the Project. If simultaneous execution of any contract for the Project is likely to cause interference with performance of some other contract or contracts, City shall decide which contractor shall cease work temporarily and which contractor shall continue or whether work can be coordinated so that contractors may proceed simultaneously.
(d) If the Project is split into phases and/or separate contracts, then Contractor has made allowances for any delays or damages which may arise from coordination with contractors for other phases or contracts. If any delays should arise from a contractor working on a different phase or contract, Contractor’s sole remedy for damages, including delay damages, shall be against the contractor who caused such damage and not the City. Contractor shall provide access to contractors for other phases or contracts as necessary to prevent delays and damages to contractors working on other phases or contracts.
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Parties represent and warrant (to the extent set forth below) that:
(a) Contractor represents that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a contractor and licensed contractor under the laws of the State of California;
(b) Each Party represents that it has full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its obligations under this Contract, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Contract have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate actions on the part of Contractor, and all governmental actions on the part of City, and do not require any further approvals or consents;
(c) Each Party represents that the execution, delivery, and performance of this Contract does not and will not result in any breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement, or instrument to which it is a party by which it or its property is bound;
(d) Each Party represents that there is no pending or, to its knowledge, threatened action, or proceeding before any court or administrative agency that will materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(e) Should a change in law occur subsequent to the date of execution of the Contract that increases Contractor’s costs, the parties shall, to the extent allowed by law, negotiate an equitable resolution. A change in law for this purposes shall not include and specifically excludes a change in any applicable tariffs or as the enactment of a new tariff or modification of an existing tariff.
7. BREACH AND TERMINATION
7.1 Termination by the City for Cause.
(a) Contractor agrees that City shall be entitled to terminate this Contract upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances, each of which shall constitute an event of default hereunder (each, a “Contractor Event of Default”):
(i) Contractor refuses or fails to supply personnel or materials in accordance with this Contract;
(ii) Contractor fails to make payment to Subcontractors for materials or labor in accordance with California Public Contract Code section 10262 or California Business and Professions Code section 7108.5, as applicable;
(iii) Contractor disregards Applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders of a Governmental Authority; or
26 (iv) Contractor otherwise is in substantial and material breach of a provision of the Contract Documents.
(b) City’s authority to terminate this Contract for cause shall be contingent upon providing written notice to Contractor of the Contractor Event of Default. Where the Contractor Event of Default can be cured, Contractor shall take action and cure the Contractor Event of Default within thirty (30) Days after the date of City’s written notice. In the event the Contractor Event of Default cannot be cured within thirty (30) Days, Contractor shall provide written notice to City of the requirement of a longer cure period with a timeline for cure and shall commence within thirty (30) Days actions necessary to cure the Contractor Event of Default and diligently and timely proceed to complete the cure.
(c) When any Contractor Event of Default exists and Contractor fails to cure the same pursuant to the procedure set forth above, the City may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the City and after giving the Contractor and the Contractor’s surety, if any, written notice of seven (7) days, terminate the Contract and may, subject to any prior rights of the surety, ( i) take possession of the Site and of all material or Equipment thereon owned by the Contractor, ( ii) accept assignment of contracts with Subcontractors, and (iii) complete the Work by whatever reasonable method the City may deem expedient.
(d) In the event of termination for cause, i f the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the reasonable, actual and direct costs of completing the Work, including compensation for professional services and expenses made necessary thereby, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to City. This payment obligation shall survive completion of the Project and termination or expiration of this Contract.

It is expressly understood that the value of such extra work or changes, as determined by any of the
33 aforementioned methods, expressly includes any and all of Contractor's costs and expenses, both direct and indirect, resulting from additional time required on the Project or resulting from delay to the Project.
Any costs or expenses not included are deeme d waived. For purposes of determining the cost, if any, of any change, addition, or omission to the Project, all trade discounts, rebates, refunds, and all returns from the sale of surplus materials and equipment shall accrue and be credited to Contractor, and Contractor shall make provisions so that such discounts, rebates, refunds, and returns may be secured, and the amount thereof shall be allowed as a reduction of Contractor's cost in determining the actual cost of construction for purposes of any change, addition, or omissions in the Project as provided herein.
(k) With respect to portions of the Work performed by Changer Orders on a time - and-materials, unit-cost, or similar basis, Contractor shall keep and maintain cost -accounting records satisfactory to the City, which shall be available to City on the same terms as any other books and records Contractor is required to maintain under the Contract Documents.

rev. December 2019)
The Partiesrecognizethe problems which drug andalcohol abusehave createdin the construction industry and the needto develop drug and alcohol abuseprevention programs. Accordingly, the Parties agreethat in order to enhancethe safety of the workplace and to maintain a drug and alcohol -free work environment, individual Employers may require applicants or employees to undergodrug and alcohol testing.
1. It is understood that the use, possession, transfer or sale of illegal drugs, narcotics, or other unlawful substances, as well as being under the influence of alcohol and the possession or consuming alcohol is absolutely prohibited while employees are on the Employer' sjob premises or while working on any jobsite in connection with work performed under the Community Workforce Agreement ( " CWA ").
2. No Employer may implement a drug testing program which does not conform in all respects to the provisions of thisPolicy.
3. No Employer may implement drug testing at any jobsite unless written notice is given to the Union setting forth the location of the jobsite, a description of the project under construction, andthe name and telephone number of the Project Supervisor. Said notice shall be addressedto the office of eachUnion signing the CWA. Said notice shall be sentby email or by registered mail before the implementation of drug testing. Failure to give suchnotice shall make any drug testing engagedin by the Employer a violation of the CWA, and the Employer may not implement any form of drug testing at suchj obsite for the following six months.
4. An Employer who elects to implement drug testing pursuant to this Agreement shall require all employees on the Project to be tested. With respect to individuals who become employed on the Project subsequent to the proper implementation of a valid drug testing program, such test shall be administered upon the commencement of employment on the project, whether by referral from a Union Dispatch Office, transfer from another project, or another method. Individuals who were employed on the project prior to the proper implementation of a valid drug testing program may only be subjected to testing for the reasons setforth in paragraphs 5(g)(1) through 5(g)( 3) and paragraphs 6(a) through 6(e) of this Policy. Refusal to undergo such testing shall be considered sufficient grounds to deny employment onthe project.
5. The following procedure shall apply to all drug testing:
City of Buena Park 33 Community Workforce Agreement
a. The Employer may request urine samples only. The applicant or employee shall not be observed when the urine specimen is given. An applicant or employee, athis or her sole option, shall, upon request, receive a blood test in lieu of a urine test. No employee of the Employer shall draw blood from a bargaining unit employee, touch or handle urine specimens, or in any way become involved in the chain of custody of urine or blood specimens. AUnion Business Representative, subject to the approval of the individual applicant or employee, shall be permitted to accompany the applicant or employee to the collection facility to observe the collection, bottling, and sealing ofthe specimen.
b. An employer may requestan applicant to perform an alcohol breathalyzertest, at a certified laboratory only and cutoff levels shall be those mandatedby applicable state or federal law.
C. The testing shall be done by a laboratory approved by the SubstanceAbuse & MentalHealth Services Administration ( SAMHSA), which is chosen by the Employer and the Union.
d. An initial test shall be performed using the Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique ( EMIT). In the event a question or positive result arises from the initial test, a confirmation test must be utilized before action can be taken against the applicant or employee.
The confirmation test will be by Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry ( GC/ MS). Cutoff levels for both the initial test and confirmation testwill bethoseestablishedby SAMHSA. Shouldthese SAMHSA levels be changed during the course of this Agreement or new testing proceduresare approved, then thesenew regulations will be deemedaspart of this existing Agreement. Confirmed positive sampleswill be retained by the testing laboratory in securedlong -term frozen storagefor a minimum of oneyear. Handling andtransportation of each sample must be documented through strict chain of custody procedures.
e. In the event of a confirmed positive test result the applicant or employee may request, within forty- eight (48) hours, a sample of his/her specimen from the testing laboratory for purposes of a second test to be performed at asecond laboratory, designated by the Union and approved by SAMHSA. The retestmust beperformed within ten (10) days of the request.
Chain of custody for this sample shall be maintained by the Employer between the original testing laboratory andthe Union' s designated laboratory. Retesting shall be performed at the applicant' s or employee' s expense. In the event of conflicting test results the Employer may require a third test.
f. If, as a result of the above testing procedure, it is determined that an applicant or employee has testedpositive, this shall be consideredsufficient grounds to deny the applicant or employee his/ her employment on the project.
g. No individual who tests negative for drugs pursuant to the above procedure and becomes employed on the project shall again be subjected to drug testing with the following exceptions:

(d) Substantial Completion. When Contractor believes it has achieved Substantial Completion, Contractor shall notify City of the same and the City shall expeditiously work to inspect and confirm .
Within ten (10) business days after Contractor’s submission or City’s independent confirmation of all items required for Substantial Completion, whichever last occurs, City shall either (i) acknowledge and agree in a writing delivered to Contractor that the Project has been satisfactorily completed, or (ii) advise Contractor by written notice that Substantial Completion has not been achieved and identify any missing items or defects or deficiencies in the Work for which Contractor is responsible or any other reason why the requirements of Substantial Completion have not been met. Substantial Completion shall be achieved when, and completion of the Construction Phase requires that:
(1) The Project has been built in conformance with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents;
(2) The Project complies with all applicable Legal Requirements and has passed all required inspections by any applicable Governmental Authority and all applicable Governmental Approvals have been received and copies thereof have been delivered to City;
(3) Contractor shall have delivered a true, correct, and complete certification of Substantial Completion signed by Contractor.
(f) Final Completion. When Contractor believes it has achieved Final Completion, Contractor shall deliver to City the written Final Completion Certificate which certificate shall certify the Final Completion Date and the Contractors achievement of Final Completion. Within ten (10) business days after Contractor’s submission or City’s independent receipt of all items required for Final Completion, City shall deliver such certificate to Contractor, acknowledged and agreed by City, and confirming the Final Completion Date (the “Final Completion Certificate”). The Project may only be accepted as complete by action of the City. Final Completion requires that:
(1) Contractor has received all local, state and federal Governmental Approvals and other approvals as may be required by Applicable Law for the operation and maintenance of the Project, including approvals, if any, required under the CEQA for the Project;
(2) City has received from Contractor all Equipment and Project manuals including two (2) sets of full size as-built drawings approved and stamped by the engineer of record (as built drawings shall also be provided to City in PDF and native file format);

(4) All Punchlist Work with respect to the Project and the Site has been completed to the City’s reasonable satisfaction;
(5) A final walkthrough of the Project and Site has been conducted with Contractor and City to determine completion of the terms of the Contract; and
(6) Contractor shall have delivered a true, correct, and complete Final Completion Certificate signed by Contractor.
5.3 Hours of Work
(a) Sufficient Forces. Contractors and Subcontractors shall furnish sufficient forces to ensure the prosecution of the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule.
(b) Performance During Work Hours . Work shall be performed during regular working hours except that in the event of an emergency or when required to complete the Work in accordance with job progress, Work may be performed outside of regular working hours with the advance written consent of the City. Subject to City’s advance written approval, Work may also be performed outside of regular working hours to minimize disruption to City operations.
5.4 Progress and Completion. Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. By executing the Contract, Contractor confirms that the Project Schedule is a reasonable period for performing the Work. Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of City, in writing, commence operations on the Site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by this Contract to be furnished by Contractor. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance. Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Completion within the Project Schedule, subject to any extension rights set forth in this Contract. Upon request, Contractor shall submit its daily logs for the monthly period with the updated schedule. Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either Party but it is a jointly owned expiring Project resource available to both Parties as needed to meet the Project Schedule.
5.5 Progress Meetings. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents and subject to change by City, the Parties shall meet at least biweekly during performance of Work to, among other things, review Work performed to date and to be performed. Contractor shall organize the meeting, prepare, and distribute meeting minutes. Meeting minutes shall be taken in satisfactory written form and include a three (3) week look-ahead schedule, Request for Information log, and Change Order log, as applicable. Meeting m inutes shall be updated during the meeting and distributed within three (3) Business Days of the meeting and City shall have 5 business days after City’s receipt of such minutes to object to them in writing and provide corrections in writing. A quorum of meeting attendees will be named at the first meeting. The named quorum shall be in attendance in all Project meetings.
5.6 Conformity with Project Schedule. Contractor shall prosecute the Work, and shall cause each Subcontractor to prosecute the Work, so that the portion of the Work completed at any point in time shall be not less than as is required by the Project Schedule (subject to any extension rights set forth in this Contract). If the rate of progress is such that the total amount of Work and/or the degree of completion of the Work accomplished by Contractor within any time period required by the Project Schedule and/or the Contract Documents is less than the amount therein sp ecified to be completed within such time, and it reasonably appears that Contractor will be unable to complete the Work by the Completion Date, Contractor shall so notify City within ten (10) Days of Contractor’s knowledge of the delay, or City may notify Contractor of the same. Contractor shall, within ten (10) Business Days of Contractor’s knowledge of such delay or receipt of any such notice from City, submit a Recovery Plan to City allowing for completion of the Work on the Project by the Completion Date. If City directs Contractor in writing to implement the Recovery Plan, then Contractor shall do so within ten (10) Business Days or such request. If City, acting reasonably, does not agree that Contractor has demonstrated in the proposed Recovery Plan it s ability to recapture lost time, meet interim milestones and complete the relevant portion of the Work by the applicable scheduled date or deadline, and the reasons therefor are not an Excusable Delay as outlined in this Contract, City may, without prejudice to any other right or remedies it may have, take one or more of the following actions: (a) require Contractor to employ such extraordinary measures as are necessary to bring the Work into conformity with the Project Schedule, includ ing, without limitation, requiring Contractor to increase its work force, work overtime, and/or extra shifts (at Contractor’s sole cost and expense); and/or (b) withhold Progress Payments or portions thereof until such time as the Work is in conformity with the Project
Schedule. If the cause for Contractor’s inability to meet the Completion Date are as a result of an Excusable Delay, then the terms of Section 5.7 shall dictate.
5.7 Extensions of Time – Liquidated Damages
(a) Excusable Delay. Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order because of any delays in completion of the Work due to Excusable Events. Contractor has the burden of providing reasonable evidence that any delay was directly caused by an Excusable Event.
(b) Notice by Contractor Required. Contractor shall within 10 days of knowledge of any delay due to an Excusable Event notify City in writing thereof. The Parties will then meet and confer in good faith to determine the reasonableness of Contractor’s claimed delay due to an Excusable Event, the facts and extent thereof, and whether any extension of time for completing the Work is reasonably appropriate. Extensions of time shall apply only to that portion of the Work affected by the delay and shall not apply to other portions of the Work no t so affected. Except as otherwise set forth in this Contract, the sole remedy of Contractor for delays resulting or arising from an Excusable Event shall be an extension of the Project Schedule at no cost to City, and no increase to the Contract Price or compensation pa id Contractor shall result.
(c) Conditions for Extension of Time. If Contractor is delayed at any time in progress of the Work by an Excusable Event, or by changes in the Work justifying a Change Order, then the Project Schedule shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as required under the circumstances. Claims relating to time extensions shall be made in accordance with Section 7.6 of this Contract.
(d) Early Completion. If Contractor submits a revised schedule showing an earlier completion date for the Project, City’s acceptance of this revised schedule shall not entitle Contractor to any additional compensation or Claim due to any such revised schedule (nor shall it subject Contractor to Liquidated Damages based on such earlier completion date). Regardless of the cause therefore, the Contractor may not maintain any Claim or cause of action against City for damages incurred as a result of its failure or inability to complete the Work or the Project in a shorter period than established in the Contract Documents.
(e) Liquidated Damages. Subject to the limitation of liability specified below, if Contractor fails to cause Substantial Completion to occur on or prior to the Completion Date, as may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Contract, Contractor shall pay City as its sole and exclusive remedy therefor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to the liquidated damages specified in this subsection (e) (the “ Liquidated Damages ”). The actual occurrence of damages and the actual amount of the damages which the City would suffer if the Work were not completed within the specified times set forth are dependent upon many circumstances and conditions which could prevail in various combinations, and it is impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages. Damages that City would suffer in the event of delay include, but are not limited to, loss of the use of the Project and each individual Site, and the energy savings aff orded by the Project and each individual Site, disruption of activities, costs of administration, supervision and the loss suffered by the public. Accordingly, the Parties agree that an amount not to exceed $500.00 for each day by which the Work, or portion thereof, is delayed beyond the Completion Date shall be the amount of damages which the City shall directly incur upon failure of the Contractor to cause Substantial Completion of the entire Project to occur on or prior to the Completion Date (the “ LD Ra te”). If Contractor becomes liable under this Section, City, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, shall have the right to withhold any and all retained percentages of payments, and to collect the interest thereon, which would otherwise be or become due the Contractor until the liability of the Contractor under this Section has been finally determined. If the retained percentage is not sufficient to discharge all liabilities of Contractor incurred under this Section, Contractor and its suretie s shall continue to remain liable to City for such liabilities until all such liabilities are satisfied in full. If City
accepts any Work or makes any Progress Payment under this Contract after a default by reason of delays, the payment or payments shall not constitute a waiver or modification of any Contract provisions regarding time of completion and Liquidated Damages.
5.9 Delays Due to Project Site Activities . City shall not be liable for any damages or compensation to Contractor resulting from, arising out of, or related to any delays caused by scheduled activities at the Site where Contractor was notified in writing of such scheduled activities prior to signing this Contract, including City’s construction projects and other events which would require access to Site. Where City did not inform Contractor in writing of such scheduled activities, or required activities arise during the Project that were not scheduled prior to Contract signing and that impact the Project Schedule, Contractor shall be entitled to reasonable additional time for the Project Schedule and an adjustment to Contract Price in accordance with a Change Order. If any part of Contractor’s Work depends on proper execution or results upon work of any other contractor (“Other Contractor Work”), the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to City in writing any defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results.
(a) Contractor will be held liable for damages to City for that Other Contractor Work (as defined above and as used in this section only) which it failed to inspect or should have inspected.
Contractor’s failure to inspect and report shall constitute its acceptance of Other Contractor Work as fit and proper for reception of its work, except as to defects which may develop in other contractors’ work after execution of Contractor’s work. To ensure proper execution of its subsequent work, Contractor shall measure and inspect Other Contractor Work already in place and shall at once report to the City in writing any discrepancy between completed Other Contractor Work and Contract Documents.
(b) It is the obligation of Contractor to ascertain to its own satisfaction the scope of the Project and nature of any other contracts that have been or may be awarded by City in prosecution of the Project, if any.
(c) Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted as granting to Contractor exclusive occupancy of the Project. Contractor shall not cause any unnecessary hindrance or delay to any other contractor working on the Project. If simultaneous execution of any contract for the Project is likely to cause interference with performance of some other contract or contracts, City shall decide which contractor shall cease work temporarily and which contractor shall continue or whether work can be coordinated so that contractors may proceed simultaneously.
(d) If the Project is split into phases and/or separate contracts, then Contractor has made allowances for any delays or damages which may arise from coordination with contractors for other phases or contracts. If any delays should arise from a contractor working on a different phase or contract, Contractor’s sole remedy for damages, including delay damages, shall be against the contractor who caused such damage and not the City. Contractor shall provide access to contractors for other phases or contracts as necessary to prevent delays and damages to contractors working on other phases or contracts.
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Parties represent and warrant (to the extent set forth below) that:
(a) Contractor represents that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a contractor and licensed contractor under the laws of the State of California;
(b) Each Party represents that it has full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its obligations under this Contract, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Contract have been

(c) Each Party represents that the execution, delivery, and performance of this Contract does not and will not result in any breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement, or instrument to which it is a party by which it or its property is bound;
(d) Each Party represents that there is no pending or, to its knowledge, threatened action, or proceeding before any court or administrative agency that will materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(e) Should a change in law occur subsequent to the date of execution of the Contract that increases Contractor’s costs, the parties shall, to the extent allowed by law, negotiate an equitable resolution. A change in law for this purposes shall not include and specifically excludes a change in any applicable tariffs or as the enactment of a new tariff or modification of an existing tariff.
7. BREACH AND TERMINATION
7.1 Termination by the City for Cause.
(a) Contractor agrees that City shall be entitled to terminate this Contract upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances, each of which shall constitute an event of default hereunder (each, a “Contractor Event of Default”):

Where the Contractor Event of Default can be cured, Contractor shall take action and cure the Contractor Event of Default within thirty (30) Days after the date of City’s written notice. In the event the Contractor Event of Default cannot be cured within thirty (30) Days, Contractor shall provide written notice to City of the requirement of a longer cure period with a timeline for cure and shall commence within thirty (30) Days actions necessary to cure the Contractor Event of Default and diligently and timely proceed to complete the cure.
(c) When any Contractor Event of Default exists and Contractor fails to cure the same pursuant to the procedure set forth above, the City may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the City and after giving the Contractor and the Contractor’s surety, if any, written notice of seven (7) days, terminate the Contract and may, subject to any prior rights of the surety, (i) take possession of the Site and of all material or Equipment thereon owned by the Contractor, ( ii) accept assignment of contracts with Subcontractors, and (iii) complete the Work by whatever reasonable method the City may deem expedient.
(d) In the event of termination for cause, i f the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the reasonable, actual and direct costs of completing the Work, including compensation for professional services and expenses made necessary thereby, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to City. This payment obligation shall survive completion of the Project and termination or expiration of this Contract.
7.2 Suspension or Termination by the City for Convenience.
(a) The City may, without cause, order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay, or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for such period of time as the City may determine. Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time and an adjustment shall be made for increases in the cost of performance of the Contract. No adjustment shall be made to the extent: (i) performance is, was, or would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by another cause for which the Contractor is responsible; or (ii) that an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of this Contract. Adjustments made in the cost of performance shall have a mutually agreed fixed fee. If City suspends, delays or interrupts the Work for 60 or more consecutive days, Contractor may terminate this Contract.
(b) Prior to City’s issuance of a Notice to Proceed (which is conditional upon City’s approving and obtaining financing for the Project), City may terminate this Contract, in whole or in part and without payment, consideration, or liability to Contractor of any kind under this Contract.
7.3 Termination by the Contractor. Contractor may not terminate for convenience. Contractor may only terminate for cause if: (A) City fails to make payment when due and such failure is not made within 30 days of City’s receipt of written notice from Contractor specifying same; (B) the Work is stopped by others for a period of 90 consecutive days through no act or fault of Contractor, a Subcontractor of any tier, their agents or employees, or any other persons performi ng portions of the Work for whom Contractor is contractually responsible, and the Work was stopped by others for one of the following reasons: (i) issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction which requires City to stop all Work; or (ii) an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency, making material unavailable which requires City to stop all Work; or (iii) City is in material breach of a provision of the Contract Documents and such breach is not cured within 30 days of City’s receipt of written notice from Contractor specifying same, however, in the event such City event of default cannot be cured within 30 days, City shall provide written notice to Contractor of the requirement of a longer cure period with a timeline for cure and shall commence actions necessary to cure City event of default within 30 days and diligently and timely proceed to complete the cure. If such grounds for termination by Contractor exist, Contractor may serve written notice of such belief on City and demand a meet-and-confer conference to negotiate a re solution in good faith within 7 days of receipt of such notice.
