c) Exclusions. For purposes of this section, a Force Majeure Event shall not include adverse general economic or market conditions not caused by any of the events described in Section 4.3(a) above.
d) Notice and Acceptance Requirement.

Such notice ( the “ Initial Force Majeure Notice”) must be made in good faith and describe the Force Majeure Event creating delay, why such delay is occurring, the estimated expected duration of such delay, and the commercially reasonable efforts that the Force Majeure Party is taking to minimize the period of delay. Commencing on the date that is thirty ( 30) days after the date of the Initial Force Majeure Notice and for so long as the Force Majeure Event continues, the Force Majeure Party shall provide the other party with weekly written updates on the estimated expected duration of such delay and the efforts that the Force Majeure Party is taking to minimize the period of delay. Within thirty (30) days after the Force Majeure Event, the Force Majeure Party shall notify the other party in writing that the Force Majeure Event has ceased to exist and of the number of days by which Force Majeure Event has delayed the Project ( the “ Force Majeure Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Force Majeure Notice, the other party shall provide notice to the Force Majeure Party (the “ Force Majeure Response”) that either (a) requires additional information to make a determination regarding the Force Majeure Party’ s assertion of the existence of a Force Majeure Event or the duration of the delay caused by the Force Majeure Event, (b) approves the Force Majeure Notice, or (c) denies some or all of the Force Majeure Notice. If the responding party denies some or all of the Force Majeure Notice, the parties will meet and confer in good faith within ten ( 10) days after the delivery ofthe Force Majeure Response toattempt toreach a mutually acceptable modification to the Force Majeure Notice that will result in approval of the Force Majeure Notice (“ Meet & Confer Period”). If the Parties do not agree on a modification to the Force Majeure Notice during the Meet Confer Period, the Force Majeure Party may elect to withdraw the Force Majeure Notice and if the Force Majeure Party does not withdraw the Force Majeure Notice, then the dispute shall be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
4.4. Liquidated Damages. Developer’ s failure to complete the Project by the Completion Date will result in damages being sustained by City. Such damages are, and will continue to be, impracticable and extremely difficult to determine. For each consecutive calendar day in excess of the time specified for completion of the Project plus additional days duly authorized and approved in writing by the City, Developer shall pay City, or have withheld monies due it, an amount of $5,000 per day. Execution of this Agreement shall constitute agreement by City and Developer that the liquidated damage amount specified in the table above is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage 11 caused by the failure of Developer to complete the Project within the allotted time. Such sum is liquidated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty, and may be deducted from payments due the Developer if such delay occurs.

Approved Prime and Subcontractor Bid and Award Process
I. PRIME CONTRACTOR
Developer has selected as the following prime contractor for the construction of the Project Prime Contractor”). The Prime
Contractor was selected by Developer from a pre-qualified list after a competitive solicitation process to determine the “ best qualified contractor” after considering, without limitation, each bidders demonstrated competence, qualifications, ability to achieve timely completion, capacity, skill, compliance with bid documents, costs, and other relevant criteria , ”. The process for solicitation and award to the Prime Contractor was approved by the City of Chula Vista City Council on December 6, 2022 pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 2022-274
II. SUBCONTRACTORS
A brief description of the process to be followed for the selection of subcontractors follows:
Initial Invitation to Propose
Describe either: ( i) targeted proposal process or (ii) open public bid process.
RFQ stage
Identified potential subcontractors ( minimum of five for each package) are invited to submit qualifications data. This includes information regarding past relevant / similar project experience, customer feedback from those projects, current backlog, available trades personnel resources, proposed supervisory / management personnel, financial capability, and design capabilities ( for design- build subcontracts).
RFP stage
Where practical, Prime Contractor will obtain a minimum of three bids/competitive proposals from all subcontractors and from suppliers of materials or equipment directly to Prime Contractor and Prime Contractor will deliver such bids to Developer.
Subcontractors deemed qualified are invited to submit detailed proposals including – o Qualitative factors
Supervisory personnel commitments and organization chart Schedule management plan
Quality management plan
Plan for providing adequate qualified trades personnel
Pre-construction / design phase services approach and staffing o Quantitative factors
Pricing for the detailed subcontract package scope of work description as provided by Prime Contractor. This includes further breakdown as directed by Prime Contractor to allow for detailed pricing evaluation.
Estimated trades work- hours
Schedule detail and projected trades crew size graphs
Proposed rates for labor, equipment, insurance etc. ( for use in future change order negotiations, or for billing purposes in the case of cost- plus/GMP subcontracts)
o Contract terms – Subcontractors are required to identify any exceptions to the subcontract documents and project manual provided by Prime Contractor, as well as any clarifications or exceptions to the scope of work definition provided.
Proposals are evaluated jointly by Prime Contractor and Developer. In general, quantitative factors are given the most weight, but significant differences in evaluation of qualitative factors could overcome a difference in pricing. Prime Contractor and Developer may also consider other factors such as the maintenance of labor peace.
The highest rated proposers ( typically target three each) are invited for in-depth interviews.
Interview & BAFO stage
In-depth interviews are conducted with the short -listed subcontractors. The interviews are focused on proposed supervisory personnel qualifications, the subcontractors’ project plan, and insuring there is a complete understanding of the required scope and schedule for the subject package as well as regulatory requirements ( i.e. prevailing wage etc.).
Following interviews, subcontractors are provided with a list of Prime Contractor and Developer comments or questions to be addressed, feedback on any proposed exceptions to the contract documents, and are invited to provide a “ best and final offer” price proposal.
Final selection & award process
Prime Contractor and Developer jointly review updated, final proposals, and make tentative selection for award based on their determination of the overall value for the Project.
Selected subcontractor is informed of their status, and any additional conditions for award by Prime Contractor, in consultation with Developer.
After confirmation of the selected subcontractor’ s acceptance of any additional conditions, unsuccessful subcontractors are notified and provided a debrief regarding evaluation of their proposal.
No subcontract will be awarded if either Prime Contractor ( in its reasonable determination) or Developer objects thereto.
Prime Contractor will provide to Developer, prior to commencement of the work and updated as changes may occur, a listing of all subcontractors and suppliers who Prime Contractor has retained to complete the work.
From time to time after any subcontracts have been awarded, Developer will deliver a notice to the City with a list of such subcontracts and a confirmation that the subcontractors have been selected in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Exhibit.
