Change Orders
Delay of Project
Time is of the essence with respect to Customer’s payment of the purchase price, and timely payment shall not be delayed or excused for any reason. Payment agreement between Customer and other parties, or failure by other parties to pay Customer or perform any agreement with Customer shall not result in delay of payment to ROMTEC. ROMTEC does not accept partial payments, any offsets, and/or retainage against the Purchase Order price. Should Customer not act according to the terms of payment for any reason, the terms granted will be revoked and any remaining goods or services not yet delivered are subject to pre-payment terms whereby payment, in full, is due 10 days prior to delivery. Any amounts not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 15 percent per annum or the highest lawful rate applicable, if such rate is less than 15 percent, from the date payment was due. For accounts that are 15 days or more past due, ROMTEC will withhold all warranty service until the account is fully paid and in good standing. This does not in any way toll the warranty period.

Unless otherwise indicated on the ROMTEC quote or purchase order, any sales, use, consumption, value added or other goods/services based tax imposed by a state; county/local or other agency with jurisdictional authority is excluded from this order. Customer is responsible for remitting any taxes that are applicable.

All Change Orders must be signed by the Customer. Prices stated herein are valid for 30 days from the purchase order date, or two weeks from the purchase order date if unsigned, at which time ROMTEC may adjust its price if cost factors warrant. A change order will apply (charges will vary depending on the circumstances) for the following design/engineering events: (i) incurred costs related to ROMTEC making more than two revisions of plan documents in response to review comments, (ii) incurred costs of “resealing” plan documents, and (iii) incurred costs of changing plan set sizing from the standard 11” x 17” format. Additionally, any modifications (for any reason) to ROMTEC’s Scope of Supply & Design Submittal, prior to formal approval, may result in a price adjustment. Any modification to ROMTEC’s Scope of Supply & Design Submittal requested or required by Customer for any reason after formal submital approval shall be performed by ROMTEC at Customer's expense, as follows: (i) Customer shall submit a written description of the modifications to ROMTEC; (ii) within 14 days of receipt of Customer's description, ROMTEC shall provide to Customer a written price quote for the modifications requested; (iii) Customer shall pay the Change Order Invoice to ROMTEC in accordance with payment terms.

Should progress of the project be delayed so that ROMTEC cannot produce and deliver the goods within six months from the date the purchase order is signed, Customer agrees to reimburse ROMTEC for all design and administrative expenses related to the completion of the Scope of Supply & Design Submittal as compensation for design services rendered. Customer also agrees to immediately pay any expenses related to any Customer authorized procurement or production of items. Additionally, Customer agrees to accept cost increases that may occur during the time the project is delayed.

To be established by Romtec’s accounting department after receipt of Customer's credit application.

Romtec, Inc. (ROMTEC) will provide the scope of supply as listed on the purchase order related hereto in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

Proposal Terms & Conditions
Romtec offers terms upon approved payment bond and credit approval by Romtec’s accounting department (to be determined at the time the Purchase Order is finalized and executed). Payments may be by check or wire transfer, Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express (a separate fee will be charged for payments exceeding $20,000 made by credit card and for all COD deliveries). Romtec may agree to accept COD payment by bank certified funds or cashier’s check if a carrier selected by Romtec ships materials.

Upon execution of the Purchase Order agreement, if Customer is not pre-paying 100% of the contract value, Customer shall provide a completed credit application (subject to Romtec’s approval) and, if applicable, evidence of payment bond securing Customer’s obligation to pay the balance of the purchase price in full. Credit terms are conditional and may be modified subsequently at Romtec's discretion if new information or conditions warrant such modification.

ROMTEC requires that Customer indicate approval of its supply offering by executing the approval signature page of the Scope of Supply & Design Submittal document and/or a formal Notice to Proceed on Production. Upon granting ROMTEC approval of its Scope of Supply Design Submittal and Notice to Proceed on Production of the building kit package(s), the Customer is waiving any rights to cancel its purchase order.

Together with this Purchase Order, the following constitute the “Contract Documents” and the entire contract between the parties, either written or oral: (i) ROMTEC’s Scope of Supply & Design Submittal, and (ii) Change Order form (if applicable).

Unless otherwise stated herein, all goods are shipped F.O.B. Roseburg, Oregon, and the risk of loss or damage to the goods and risk of delays in transit passes to the Customer when the goods are duly delivered to the carrier in Roseburg, Oregon. ROMTEC has no control over arrival time of a shipment, and ROMTEC shall not be responsible for delays in shipments once the goods leave ROMTEC's plant. ROMTEC's required procedures for handling products are as follows:

(2) All material received from, but not manufactured by ROMTEC must be handled per the specific handling instructions of the manufacturer of the material.
(3) PROPER HANDLING EQUIPMENT, ITS SUPPLY AND OPERATION ARE STRICTLY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER.

The Scope of Supply & Design Submittal also defines ROMTEC’s Limited One Year Warranty. Warranty terms available prior to the submission of the Scope of Supply & Design Submittal upon request.

Unless otherwise specified on the purchase order, ROMTEC may ship goods pursuant to an order at any time after the goods are completed and ready for shipment. Further, unless payment has been made in advance, if a carrier holding a ROMTEC shipment ordered by a Customer is ready to deliver the goods to the Customer, the Customer agrees to accept the goods at the carrier's earliest possible delivery date and time.

If Customer delays shipment, regardless of the reason for delay, ROMTEC is permitted to invoice and the Customer agrees to pay ROMTEC under the agreed payment terms, using the date the order was ready for shipment as the invoice date (if prepayment or COD terms apply, payment is due within 7 days from the time of delay). Once the order is invoiced, the materials shall become property of the Customer.

Further, ROMTEC may at its sole discretion invoice the Customer for a minimum of $450 per month for on-site storage. Deliveries that are delayed by the Customer may be canceled by ROMTEC and the goods returned to ROMTEC at ROMTEC's discretion. Any costs or other issues arising from the Customer's act in delaying receipt of ROMTEC’s shipments are the complete responsibility of the Customer. The Customer agrees to pay for the complete shipping cost if ROMTEC elects to allow the goods to be returned to ROMTEC or delivered to another Buyer.

Environmental Impact
The work proposed under this contract has been determined to be Categorically Exempt (“Existing Facilities”) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301. Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination. The Project would resurface the existing pavement and update non-compliant ADA ramps. The Project is also exempt under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. There is no possibility that the activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment because the proposed Project is occurring in an area that is already heavily disturbed and not environmentally sensitive.

The CEQA notice of exemption was uploaded and submitted to the state through the CEQA submit website with a posting date of February 1, 2024 with a state clearing house number of SCH No. 2024020023. This notice of exemption was also filed with the Riverside County Recorder’s Office on February 1, 2024.

Contractor agrees that for a period of one (1) year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in this Agreement or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to this Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at Contractor’s sole cost and expense.

guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of City, City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.
e. Skilled and Trained Workforce. Contractor, for itself and its subcontractors at every tier, hereby provides an enforceable commitment to comply with California Public Contract Code section 2600 et seq., which requires use of a skilled and trained workforce to perform all work on the agreements that fall within an apprenticeable occupation in the building and construction trades.
f. Inspection and Final Acceptance. The Services shall be performed to the satisfaction of City. City may inspect and accept or reject any of Contractor’s work under this Agreement, during performance and/or when completed. City shall reject or finally accept Contractor’s work within forty five (45) days after submitted to City. City shall accept work by a timely written acceptance, otherwise work shall be deemed to have been rejected. City’s acceptance shall be conclusive as to such work except with respect to latent defects, fraud, and such gross mistakes as amount to fraud. Acceptance of any work by City shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 4 and Section 5, pertaining to insurance and indemnification, respectively.

1.4 Assignment of Personnel. Contractor shall assign only competent personnel to perform the Services. Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to maintain the stability and continuity of Contractor’s staff and subcontractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services.

Contractor shall notify City of any changes in Contractor’s staff and subcontractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services, prior to and during any such performance. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the reassignment of any such persons, Contractor shall, immediately upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, reassign such person or persons.

1.5 Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall devote such time to the performance of the Services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy Contractor’s obligations hereunder.

shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Contract Administrator in writing of the causes of the delay. The Contract Administrator shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the Services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the sole judgment of the Contract Administrator such delay is justified. The Contract Administrator’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover damages against City for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, Contractor’s sole remedy being extension of this Agreement pursuant to this Section.

1.7 Suspension of Services. The City Engineer of City (“Engineer”) shall have the authority to suspend the Services, wholly or in part, for such period as the Engineer may deem necessary, due to unsuitable weather or to such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the suitable prosecution of the Services, or for such time as the Engineer may deem necessary due to the failure on the part of Contractor to carry out orders given or to perform any provisions of the Services. Contractor shall immediately comply with the written order of the Engineer to suspend the Services wholly or in part and shall not resume the Services until ordered to do so in writing by the Engineer. Such suspension shall be without liability to Contractor on the part of City. In the event a suspension of work is ordered because of failure on the part of Contractor to carry out orders given or to perform any provisions of the Services, such suspension of the Services shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility to complete the Services within the time limit set forth herein and shall not be considered cause for extension of the time for completion and, further, such suspension of the Services shall not entitle Contractor to any additional compensation.

1.8 Familiarity with Work and Worksite. By executing this Agreement, Contractor warrants that Contractor (i) has thoroughly investigated and considered the Services, (ii) has carefully considered how the Services should be performed, and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties, and restrictions attending performance of the Services. If the Services involve work upon any site, Contractor warrants that Contractor has or will investigate the site and is or will be fully acquainted with the conditions there existing, prior to commencement of the Services hereunder. Should Contractor discover any latent or unknown conditions, which will materially affect the performance of the Services hereunder, Contractor shall immediately inform City of such fact and shall not proceed until written instructions are received from the Contract Administrator.

1.9 Further Responsibilities of the Parties. Both Parties agree to use reasonable care and diligence to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. Both Parties agree to act in good faith to execute all instruments, prepare all documents, and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, neither Party shall be responsible for the service of the other.

1.10 Special Requirements. Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements” attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.

Invoices shall be submitted to:

City of Menifee
Attn: Accounts Payable
29844 Haun Road
Menifee, CA 92586

2.4 City Payment of Invoices. City shall independently review each invoice submitted by Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. City will use its best efforts to cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed invoice. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor for correction and resubmission. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 20104.50, Contractor is notified that for public works Services, City’s failure to pay undisputed and properly submitted invoices within thirty (30) days shall be subject to interest at the legal rate set forth in Code of Civil Procedure Section 685.010. Any invoice for public works Services determined not to be a proper invoice suitable for payment shall be returned to the Contractor as soon as practicable, but not later than seven (7) days, after receipt. An invoice returned pursuant to the foregoing shall be accompanied by a writing stating the reasons why the invoice is not proper.

2.5 Retention of Funds, Final Payment.
a. Contractor hereby authorizes City, in the sole discretion of the Contract Administrator, to retain and deduct from any amount payable to Contractor not exceeding five percent (5%) of the total compensation. The retained funds shall be paid to Contractor within sixty (60) days after final acceptance of the Services by the City and after Contractor has furnished City with full release of all undisputed payments under this Agreement. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contractor from the operation of the release, City may retain proceeds of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount in dispute. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as provided in this Agreement. b. Notwithstanding Paragraph a, California Public Contract Code Section 22300 permits the substitution of securities for any retention monies withheld by City for public works Services. At the request and expense of Contractor, securities equivalent to the monies withheld shall be deposited with City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in California as the escrow agent, who shall then pay such monies to Contractor. City retains the sole discretion to approve the bank selected by Contractor to serve as escrow agent. Upon satisfactory completion of the Services, the securities shall be returned to Contractor. Securities eligible for investment shall include those listed in Government Code Section 16430. Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any interest thereon. In the alternative, under California Public Contract Code Section 22300, Contractor may request City to make payment of earned retention monies directly to the escrow agent at the expense of Contractor. Also at Contractor’s expense, Contractor may direct investment of the payments into securities, and Contractor shall receive interest earned on such investment upon the same conditions as provided for securities deposited by Contractor.

a. Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify City, in writing, of any: (1) material that Contractor believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law; (2) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids; or (3) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement.
b. If the Services involve an estimated expenditure in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for the excavation of any trench or trenches five (5) feet or more in depth, Contractor shall submit for acceptance by the City Engineer, in advance of excavation, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. If such plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer.
c. City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work shall issue an order or amendment for additional services pursuant to Subsection 8.4 or 8.5 of this Agreement. d. If a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by this Agreement, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this Agreement. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the Parties.

Agreement prior to execution. Contractor acknowledges the insurance policy must cover inter- insured suits between City and other insureds. Contractor agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from Contractor’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which Contractor is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit Contractor’s indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5. Insurance or bonds required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide, or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Contract Administrator in the Contract Administrator’s sole discretion. If this Agreement continues for more than three (3) years duration, or in the event the Contract Administrator determines that the Services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to City, Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies and the performance bond required by Section 4 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Contract Administrator; provided that Contractor shall have the right to appeal a determination of increased coverage by the Contract Administrator to the City Council of City within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Contract Administrator.

4.1 Workers’ Compensation. Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for any and all persons employed directly or indirectly by Contractor pursuant to the provisions of the California Labor Code.

In the alternative, Contractor may rely on a self- insurance program to meet those requirements, but only if the program of self-insurance complies fully with the provisions of the California Labor Code. Determination of whether a self-insurance program meets the standards of the California Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract Administrator. The insurer, if insurance is provided, or Contractor, if a program of self- insurance is provided, shall waive all rights of subrogation against City and its officers, officials, employees, and authorized volunteers for loss arising from the Services performed under this Agreement. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1860, Contractor is required to secure the payment of compensation to Contractor’s employees. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1861, Contractor hereby submits to City the following:

I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.
