The original endorsements for each policy and the Certificate of Insurance shall be signed by an individual authorized by the insurance carrier to do so on its behalf.

D. The Certificate(s) of Insurance, policies and endorsements shall so covenant and shall be construed as primary, and the Stadium Manager’s insurance and/or deductibles and/or self -insured retentions or self -insured programs shall not be construed as contributory.

E. Stadium Manager reserves the right to adjust the monetary limits of insurance coverages during the term of this Contract including any extension thereof if, in the

-42- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

Stadium Manager’s reasonable judgment, the amount or type of insurance carried by the Contractor becomes inadequate.

F. Contractor shall report to the Stadium Manager, in addition to the Contractor’s insurer, any and all insurance claims submitted by the Contractor in connection with the Work under this Contract.

ARTICLE 40. TIME FOR COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
A. Time for Completion/Liquidated Damages. Tim e is of the essence in the completion of the Work. Work shall be commenced within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date stated in the Stadium Manager ’s Notice to Proceed and shall be completed by Contractor in the time specified in the Contract Documents. The Stadium Manager is under no obligation to consider
early completion of the Project; and the Contract
complet
ion date shall not be amended by the Stadium Manager’s receipt or acceptance of the Contractor’s proposed earlier completion date. Furthermore, Contractor shall not, under any circumstances, receive additional compensation from the Stadium Manager (including but not limited to indirect, general, administrative or other forms of overhead costs) for the period between the time of earlier completion proposed by the Contractor and the Contract completion date. If t he Work is not completed as stated in the Contract Documents, it is understood that the Stadium Manager will suffer damage. In accordance with Government Code Section 53069.85, being impractical and infeasible to determine the amount of actual damage, it is agreed that Contractor shall pay to the Stadium Manager as fixed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum stipulated in the Contract for each calendar day of delay until the Work is fully completed. Contractor and its surety shall be liable for any liquidated damages. Any money due or to become due the Contractor may be retained to cover liquidated damages.

B. Inclement
Weather. Contractor shall abide by the Stadium Manager's Representative’s determination of what constitutes inclement weather. Time extensions for inclement weather shall only be granted when the Work stopped during inclement weather is on the critical path of the Project schedule.

C. Extension of Time. Contractor shall not be charged liquidated damages because of any delays in completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Contractor (or its subcontractors or suppliers).

Contractor shall within five (5) Days of identifying any such delay notify the Stadium Manager in writing of causes of delay. The Stadium Manager shall ascertain the facts and extent of delay and grant extension of time for completing t he Work when, in its judgment, the facts justify such an extension. Time extensions to the Project shall be requested by the Contractor as they occur and without delay. No delay claims shall be permitted unless the event or occurrence delays the completion of the Project beyond the Contract completion date.

D. No Damages for Reasonable Delay. The Stadium Manager’s liability to Contractor for delays for which the Stadium Manager is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances. In no case shall the Stadium Manager be liable for any costs which are borne by the Contractor in the regular course of business, including, but not limited to, home office

-43- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

overhead and other ongoing costs. Damages caused by unreasonable Stadium Manager delay, including delays caused by items that are the responsibilit y of the Stadium Manager pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, shall be based on actual costs only, no proportions or formulas shall be used to calculate any delay damages.

ARTICLE 41. COST BREAKDOWN AND PERIODIC ESTIMATES
Contractor shall furnish on forms Approved by the Stadium Manager:

A. Within ten (10) Days of Notice to Proceed with the Contract, a detailed estimate giving a complete breakdown of the Contract Price, if the Contract amount is a lump sum.

B. A monthly itemized estimate of Work done for the purpose of making progress payments. In order for the Stadium Manager to consider and evaluate each progress payment application, the Contractor shall submit a detailed measurement of Work performed and a progress estimate of the value thereof before the tenth (10th) Day of the following month.

C. Contractor shall submit, with each of its payment requests, an adjusted list of actual quantities, verified by the Stadium Manager’s Representative, for unit price items listed, if any, in the Bid Form.

D. Following the Stadium Manager’s Acceptance of the Work, the Contractor shall submit to the Stadium Manager a written statement of the final quantities of unit price items for inclusion in the final payment request.

E. The Stadium Manager shall have the right to adjust any estimate of quantity and to subsequently correct any error made in any estimate for payment.

Contractor shall certify under penalty of perjury, that all cost breakdowns and periodic estimates accurately reflect the Work on the Project.

ARTICLE 42. PROGRESS ESTIMATES AND PAYMENT
A. By the tenth (10th) Day of the following calendar month, Contractor shall submit to Stadium Manager’s Representative a payment request which shall set forth in detail the value of the W ork done for the period beginning with the date work was first commenced and ending on the end of the calendar month for which the payment request is prepared. Contractor shall include any amount earned for authorized extra work. From the total thus computed, a deduction shall be made in the amount of five percent (5%) for retention, except where the Stadium Manager has adopted a finding that the Work done under the Contract is substantially complex, and then the amount withheld as retention shall be the percentage specified in the Notice Inviting Bids.

From the remainder a further deduction may be made in accordance with Section B below. The amount computed, less the amount withheld for retention and any amounts withheld as set forth below, shall be the amount of the Contractor’s payment request.

Levi’s Stadium Aesthetic Improvements – Premium

RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-44- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

B. The Stadium Manager may withhold a sufficient amount or amounts of any payment or payments otherwise due to Contractor, as in his judgment may be necessary to cover:

1. Payments which may be past due and payable for just claims against Contractor or any subcontractors for labor or materials furnished in and about the performance of work on the Project under this Contract.

2. Defective work not remedied.

3. Failure of Contractor to make proper payments to his subcontractor or for material or labor.

4. Completion of the Contract if there is a reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for balance then unpaid.

5. Damage to another contractor or a third party.

6. Amounts which may be due the Stadium Manager for claims against Contractor.

7. Failure of Contractor to keep the record (“as-built”) drawings up to date.

8. Failure to provide update on construction schedule as required herein.

9. Failure to comply with and timely submit all necessary prevailing wage compliance documentation as required under the Contract Documents.

10. Site cleanup.

11. Failure to comply with Contract Documents.

12. Liquidated damages.

13. Legally permitted penalties.

C. The Stadium Manager may apply such withheld amount or amounts to payment of such claims or obligations at its discretion with the exception of subsections (B)(1), (3), and (5) of this Article, which must be retained or applied in accordance with applicable law. In so doing, the Stadium Manager shall be deemed the agent of Contractor and any payment so made by the Stadium Manager shall be considered as a payment made under contract by the Stadium Manager to Contractor and the Stadium Manager shall not be liable to Contractor for such payments made in good faith. Such payments may be made without prior judicial determination of claim or obligations. The Stadium Manager will render Contractor a proper accounting of such funds disbursed on behalf of Contractor.

D. Upon receipt, the Stadium Manager’s Representative shall review the payment request to determine whether it is undisputed and suitable for payment. If the payment request is determined to be unsuitable for payment, it shall be returned to Contractor as soon as practicable but not later than seven (7) Days after receipt, accompanied

Levi’s Stadium Aesthetic Improvements – Premium
Areas and Special Event Spaces Project
RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-45- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request is not proper. The Stadium Manager shall make the progress payment within 30 calendar days after the receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted payment request from Contractor, provided that a release of liens and claims has been received from the Contractor pursuant to Civil Code Section 8132. The number of days available to the Stadium Manager to make a payment without incurring interest pursuant to this paragraph shall be reduced by the number of days by which the Stadium Manager’s Representative exceeds the seven (7) Day requirement.

E. A payment request shall be considered properly executed if funds are available for payment of the payment request and payment is not delayed due to an audit inquiry by the financial officer of the Stadium Manager.

ARTICLE 43. SECURITIES FOR MONEY WITHHELD
Pursuant to Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California, Contractor may request the Stadium Manager to make retention payments directly to an escrow agent or may substitute securities for any money withheld by the Stadium Manager to ensure performance under the contract. At the request and expense of Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the Stadium Manager or with a state or federally chartered bank as the escrow agent who shall return such securities to Contractor upon satisfactory completion of the contract. Deposit of securities with an escrow agent shall be subject to a written agreement substantially in the form provided in Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code.

ARTICLE 44. CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK.

A. Contract Change Orders.

1. The Stadium Manager, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work
consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, and the Contract Price and Contract Time shall be adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided herein, all such changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order, and shall be performed under the appl
icable conditions of the Contract Documents. A
Change Order signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor's agreement therewith, including any adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time, and the full
and final settlement of all costs (direct, indirect and overhead) related to the Work authorized by the Change Order.

2. Contract
or shall promptly execute changes in the Work as directed in writing by the Stadium Manager even when the parties have not reached agreement on whether the change increases the scope of Work or affects the Contract Price or Contract Time. All claims for additional compensation to the Contractor shall be presented in writing. No claim will be considered after the W ork in question has been done unless a written Change Order has been issued or a timely written notice of claim has been made by Contractor.

3. Whenever any change is made as provided for herein, such change shall be considered and treated as though originally included in the Contract, and shall be subject to all terms, conditions, and provisions of the original Contract.

Levi’s Stadium Aesthetic Improvements – Premium
Areas and Special Event Spaces Project
RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-46- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

4. Contractor shall not be entitled to claim or bring suit for damages, whether for loss of profits or otherwise, on account of any decrease or omission of any item or portion of Work to be done.

5. No dispute, disagreement, or failure of the parties to reach agreement on the terms of the C hange Order shall relieve the Contractor from the obligation to proceed with performance of the work, including Additional Work, promptly and expeditiously.

6. Contractor shall make available to the Stadium Manager any of the Contractor’s documents related to the Project immediately upon request of the Stadium Manager, as set forth in Article 52.

7. Any alterations, extensions of time, Additional Work, or any other changes may be made without securing consent of the Contractor’s surety or sureties.

B. Contract Price Change.

1. Process for Determining Adjustments in Contract Price. a. Owner Initiated Change. The Contractor must submit a complete cost proposal, including any change in the Contract Price or Contract Time, within seven (7) Days after receipt of a scope of a proposed change order initiated by the Stadium Manager, unless the Stadium Manager requests that propos als be submitted in less than seven (7) Days.
b. Contractor Initiated Change. The Contractor must give written notice of a proposed change order required for compliance with the Contract Documents within seven (7) Days of discovery of the facts giving rise t o the proposed change order.
c. Whenever possible, any changes to the Contract amount shall be in a lump sum mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the Stadium Manager. d. Price quotations from the Contractor shall be accompanied by sufficiently detailed supporting documentation to permit verification by the Stadium Manager, including but not limited to estimates and quotations from subcontractors or material suppliers, as the Stadium Manager may reasonably request. Contractor shall certify the accuracy of all Change Order Requests under penalty of perjury.
e. If the Contractor fails to submit a complete cost proposal within the seven (7) Day period (or as requested), the Stadium Manager has the right to order the Contractor in writing to commence the Work immedia tely on a time and materials basis and/or issue a lump sum change to the Contract Price and/or Contract Time in accordance with the Stadium Manager ’s estimate. If the change is issued based on the Stadium Manager's estimate, the Contractor will waive its right to dispute the action unless within fifteen (15) Days following completion of the added/deleted work, the Contractor presents written proof that the Stadium Manager’s estimate was in error.

Areas and Special Event Spaces Project
RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-47- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

2. Unit Price Change Orders.
a. When the actual quantity of a Unit Price item varies from the Bid Form, compensation for the change in quantity will be calculated by multiplying the actual quantity by the Unit Price. This calculation may result in either an additive or deductive Final Change Order pursuant to the Contract Documents. b. No Mark up for Overhead and Profit. Because the Contract Unit Prices provided in the Bid Form include Overhead and Profit as determined by Contractor at the time of Bid submission, no mark up or deduction for Overhead and Profit will be included in Unit Price Change Orders. c. Bid items included on the Bid Form may be deducted from the Work in their entirety without any negotiated extra costs.
d. Contractor acknowledges that unit quantities are estimates and agrees that the estimated unit quantities listed on the Bid Form will be adjusted to reflect the actual unit quantities which may result in an adjustment to the Contract Unit Prices. Such an adjustment will be made by execution of a final additive or deductive Change Order following Contractor’s completion of the Work. Upon notification, Contractor’s failure to respond within seven (7) Days will result in Stadium Manager’s issuance of a unit quantity adjustment to the Contract Unit Prices and/or Contract Time in accordance with the Contract Documents. e. The Stadium Manager or Contractor may make a Claim for an adjustment in the Unit Price in accordance with the Contract Documents if:
i. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs by twenty-five percent (25%) or more from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Contract; and
ii. there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and
iii. Contractor believes that Contractor is entitled to an increase in Unit Price as a result of having incurred additional expense or the Stadium Manager believes that the Stadium Manager is entitled to a decrease in Unit Price and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase or decrease.

3. Contractor shall incorporate the provisions of this Section into all agreements with Subcontractors. Compensation for Lump Sum Change Orders shall be limited to expenditures necessitated specifically by the Additional Work, and shall be according to the following:
a. Overview. The Contractor will submit a properly itemized Lump Sum Change Order Proposal covering the Additional Work and/or the work to be deleted.

This proposal will be itemized for the various components of the Additional Work and segregated by labor, material, and equipment in a detailed format satisfactory to the Stadium Manager. The Stadium Manager will require

Levi’s Stadium Aesthetic Improvements – Premium
Areas and Special Event Spaces Project
RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-48- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

itemized change orders on all change order proposals from the Contractor, subcontractors, and sub- subcontractors regardless of tier. Details to be submitted will include detailed line item estimates showing detailed materials quantity take- offs, material prices by item and related labor hour pricing information and extensions (by line item or by drawing as applicable). b. Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of worker at the time the Additional Work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes and insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws, as well as assessment or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements. The use of a labor classification which would increase the Additional Work cost will not be permitted unless the Contractor establishes the necessity for such new classifications. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental.

Estimated labor hours must only include hours for those workmen and working foremen directly involved in performing the change order work. Supervision above the level of working foremen (such as general foremen, superintendent, project manager, etc.) is considered to be included in the markup percentages as outlined below. Note that no separate allowances for warranty expense will be allowed as a direct cost of a change order. Costs attributed to warranty expenses will be considered to be covered by the markup. c. Labor Burden. Labor burden allowable in change orders shall be defined as employer's net actual cost of payroll taxes (FICA, Medicare, SUTA, FUTA), net actual cost for employer's cost of union benefits (or other usual and customary fringe benefits if the employees are not union employees), and net actual cost to employer for worker's compensation insurance taking into consideration adjustments for experience modifiers, premium discounts, dividends, rebates, expense constants, assigned risk pool costs, net cost reductions due to policies with deduct ibles for self -insured losses, assigned risk rebates, etc.

Contractor shall reduce their standard payroll tax percentages to properly reflect the effective cost reduction due to the estimated impact of the annual maximum wages subject to payroll taxes. An estimated percentage for labor burden may be used for pricing change orders. However, the percentage used for labor burden to price change orders will be examined at the conclusion of the Project and an adjustment to the approved change orders will be processed if it is determined that the actual labor burden percentage should have been more or less than the estimated percentage used.
d. Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be at invoice or lowest current price at which such materials are locally available in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight, and delivery. Materials costs shall be based upon supplier or manufacturer’s invoice. If invoices or other satisfactory evidence of cost are not furnished within fifteen (15) Days of delivery, then the Stadium Manager shall determine the materials cost, at its sole discretion. Estimated material change order costs shall reflect the Contractor's reasonably

Levi’s Stadium Aesthetic Improvements – Premium
Areas and Special Event Spaces Project
RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-49- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

anticipated net actual cost for the purchase of the material needed for the change order work. Estimated material costs shall reflect cost reductions available to the Contractor due to “non- cash” discounts, trade discounts, free material credits, and/or volume rebates. “Cash” discounts (i.e., prompt payment discounts of 2% or less) available on material purchased for change order work shall be credited to the Stadium Manager if the Contractor is provided the Stadium Manager funds in time for Contractor to take advantage of any such “cash” discounts. The portion of any “cash” discounts greater than 2% will not be considered “non- cash” discount for purposes of this provision.

Price quotations from material suppliers must be itemized with unit prices for each specific item to be purchased. "Lot pricing" quotations will not be considered sufficient substantiating detail.
e. Tool and Equipment Use. Costs for the use of small tools, which are tools that have a replacement value of $1,000 or less, shall be considered included in the Overhead and Profit mark-ups established below. Allowable change order estimated costs may include appropriate amounts for rental of major equipment specifically needed to perform the change order work (defined as tools and equipment with an individual purchase cost of more than $750). For Contractor owned equipment, the "bare" equipment rental rates allowed to be used for pricing change order proposals shall be 75% of the monthly rate listed in the most current publication of The AED Green Book divided by 176 to arrive at a maximum hourly rate to be applied to the hours the equipment is used performing the change order work. Further, for Contractor owned equipment, the aggregate equipment rent charges for any single piece of equipment used in all change order work shall be limited to 50% of the fair market value of the piece of equipment when the first change order is priced involving usage of the piece of equipment. Fuel necessary to operate the equipment will be considered as a separate direct cost associated with the change order work. f. Maximum Markup Percentage Allowable on Self -Performed Work . With respect to pricing change orders, the maximum markup percentage to be paid to any Contractor or subcontractor (regardless of tier) on self -performed work shall be a single markup percentage not-to-exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the net direct cost of (1) direct labor and allowable labor burden costs applicable to the change in the Work; (2) the net cost of material and installed equipment incorporated into the change in the Work, and (3) net rental cost of major equipment and related fuel costs necessary to complete the change in the Work.
g. Maximum Markup Percentages Allowable on Work Performed by Lower Tier Subcontractors. With respect to pricing the portion of change order proposals involving Work performed by lower ti er contractors, the maximum markup percentage allowable to the Contractor or subcontractor supervising the lower tier subcontractor's work shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the net of all approved change order work performed by all subcontractors combined for any particular change order proposal.

RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-50- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

h. No Markup on Bonds and Liability Insurance Costs . Change order cost adjustments due to increases or decreases in bond or insurance costs (if applicable) shall not be subject to any markup.
i. Direct and Indirect Costs Covered by Markup Percentages . As a further clarification, the agreed upon markup percentage set forth above is intended to cover the Contractor's profit and all indirect costs associated with the change order work. Items intended to be covered by the markup percentage include, but are not limited to: home office expenses, branch office and field office overhead expense of any kind, project management, superintendents, general foremen, estimating, engineering, coordinating, expediting, purchasing, detailing, legal, accounting, data processing or other administrative expenses, shop drawings, permits, auto insurance and umbrella insurance, pick-up truck costs, and warranty expense costs. The cost for the use of small tools is also to be considered covered by the markup percentage established above. Small tools shall be defined as tools and equipment (power or non- power) with an individual purchase cost of less than $750.
j. Deduct Change Orders and Net Deduct Changes. The application of the markup percentages referenced above will apply to both additive and deductive change orders. In the case of a deductive change order, the credit will be computed by applying the sliding scale percentages as outlined above so that a deductive change order would be computed in the same manner as an additive change order. In those instances where a change involves both additive and deductive work, the additions and deductions will be netted and the markup percentage adjustments will be applied to the net amount. k. Contingency. In no event will any lump sum or percentage amounts for "contingency" be allowed to be added as a separate line item in change order estimates. Unknowns attributable to labor hours will be accounted for when estimating labor hours anticipated performing the work. Unknowns attributable to material scrap and waste will be estimated as part of material costs. l. Insurance and Bonds. In the event the Contractor has been required to furnish insurance and/or bonds as part of the base contract price, a final contract change order will be processed to account for the Contractor's net increase or decrease in insurance costs and/or bond premium costs associated with change orders to Contractor's base Contract Price.

4. Time and Materials Change Orders.
a. General. The term Time and Materials means the sum of all costs reasonably and necessarily incurred and paid by Contractor for labor, materials, and equipment in the proper performance of Additional Work. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by the Sta dium Manager, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, and shall include only the following items.
b. Timely and Final Documentation.

Levi’s Stadium Aesthetic Improvements – Premium
Areas and Special Event Spaces Project
RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-51- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

i. T&M Daily Sheets. Contractor must submit timesheets, materials invoices, records of equipment hours, and records of rental equipment hours to the Stadium Manager’s Representative for an approval signature each day Additional Work is performed. Failure to get the Stadium Manager’s Representative’s approval signature each Day shall result in a waiver of Contractor’s right to claim these costs. The Stadium Manager ’s Representative’s signature on time sheets only serves as verification that the Work was performed and is not indicative of Stadium Manager ’s agreement to Contractor’s entitlement to the cost.
ii. T&M Daily Summary Sheets. All documentation of incurred costs (“T&M Daily Summary Sheets”) shall be submitted by Contractor within three (3) Days of incurring the cost for labor, material, equipment, and special services as Additional Work is performed. Contractor’s actual costs shall be presented in a summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and special services. Each T&M Daily Summary Sheet shall include Contractor’s actual costs incurred for the Additional Work performed that day and a cumulative total of Contractor’s actual costs incurred for the Additional Work. Contractor’s failure to provide a T&M Daily Summary Sheet showing a total cost summary within three (3) Days but within five (5) Days of performance of the Work will result in the Contractor’s otherwise allowable overhead and profit being reduced by 50% for that portion of Additional Work which was not documented in a timely manner. Contractor’s failure to submit the T&M Daily Summary Sheet within five (5) Days of performance of the Work will result in a total waiver of Contractor’s right to claim these costs.
iii. T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet. Contractor shall submit a T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet, which shall include total actual costs, within seven (7) Days following completion of Stadium Manager approved Additional Work.

Contractor’s total actual cost shall be presented in a summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and special services. Contractor’s failure to submit the T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet within seven (7) Days of completion of the Additional Work will result in Contractor’s waiver for any reimbursement of any costs associated with the T&M Summary Sheets or the performance of the Additional Work. c. Labor. The Contractor will be paid the cost of labor for the workers used in the actual and direct performance of the Work. The cost of labor will be the sum of the actual wages paid (which shall include any employer payments to or on behalf of the workers for health and welfare, pension, vacation, and similar purposes) substantiated by timesheets and certified payroll for wages prevailing for each craft or type of workers performing the Additional Work at the time the Additional Work is done, and the labor surcharge set forth in the Department of Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates, which is in effect on the date upon which the Work is accomplished and which is a part of the Contract. The labor surcharge shall constitute full compensation for all payments imposed by Federal, State, or

Levi’s Stadium Aesthetic Improvements – Premium
Areas and Special Event Spaces Project
RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-52- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

local laws and for all other payments made to, or on behalf of, the workers, other than actual wages.
i. Equipment Operator Exception. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be paid only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental.
ii. Foreman Exception. The labor costs for foremen shall be proportioned to all of their assigned work and only that applicable to the Additional Work shall be paid. Indirect labor costs, including, without limitation, the superintendent, project manager, and other labor identified in the Contract Documents will be considered Overhead.
d. Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be itemized at invoice or lowest current price at which materials are locally available and delivered to the Project site in the quantities involved, plus the cost of sales tax, freight, delivery, and storage.
i. Trade discounts available to the purchaser shall be credited to the Stadium Manager notwithstanding the fact that such discounts may not have been taken by Contractor.
ii. For materials secured by other than a direct purchase and direct billing to the purchaser, the cost shall be deemed to be the price paid to the actual supplier as determined by the Stadium Manager’s Representative. iii. Payment for materials from sources owned wholly or in part by the purchaser shall not exceed the price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from said sources on Additional Work items or the current wholesale price for such materials delivered to the Project site, whichever price is lower.
iv. If, in the opinion of the Stadium Manager’s Representative, the cost of materials is excessive, or Contractor does not furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost of such materials, then the cost shall be deemed to be the lowest current wholesale price for t he total quantity concerned delivered to the Project site less trade discounts.
v. The Stadium Manager reserves the right to furnish materials for the Additional Work and no Claim shall be allowed by Contractor for costs of such materials or Indirect Costs or profit on Stadium Manager furnished materials.
e. Equipment.
i. Rental Time. The rental time to be paid for equipment on the Project s ite shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation on the Additional Work being performed and, in addition, shall include the time required to move the equipment to the location of the Additional Work and return it to the original location or to another location requiring no more time than that

Levi’s Stadium Aesthetic Improvements – Premium
Areas and Special Event Spaces Project
RFB Number: RFB FY23-0057
-53- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

required to return it to its original location; except that moving time will not be paid if the equipment is used on other than the Additional Work, even though located at the site of the Additional Work.
(a) Rental Time Not Allowed. Rental time will not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns.
(b) Computation Method. The following shall be used in computing the rental time of equipment on the Project site.
(i) When hourly rates are paid, any part of an hour less than 30 minutes of operation shall be considered to be 1/2- hour of operation, and any part of an hour in excess of 30 minutes will be considered one hour of operation.
(ii) When daily rates are paid, any part of a day less than 4 hours operation shall be considered to be 1/2- day of operation, and any part of an hour in excess of 4 hours will be considered one day of operation.
ii. Rental Rates. Contractor will be paid for the use of equipment at the lesser of (i) the actual rental rate, or (ii) the rental rate listed for that equipment in the California Department of Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates, which is in effect on the date upon which the Contract was executed. Such rental rates will be used to compute payments for equipment whether the equipment is under Contractor’s control through direct ownership, leasing, renting, or another method of acquisition. The rental rate to be applied for use of each item of equipment shall be the rate (i.e., daily, monthly) resulting in the least total cost to the Stadium Manager for the total period of use. If it is deemed necessary by Contractor to use equipment not listed in the publication, an equitable rental rate for the equipment will be established by the Stadium Manager’s Representative. Contractor may furnish cost data which might assist the Stadium Manager’s Representative in the establishment of the rental rate.
iii. Contractor-Owned Equipment.
(a) For Contractor-owned equipment, the allowed equipment rental rate will be limited to the monthly equipment rental rate using a utilization rate of 173 hours per month.
(b) For Contractor-owned equipment, the rental time to be paid for equipment on the Site shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation, unless, in the instance of standby time, the equipment could be actively used by Contractor on another project, then Stadium Manager shall pay for the entirety of the time the equipment is on Site.

It shall be Contractor’s burden to demonstrate to the Stadium Manager that the equipment could be actively used on another project.

6. Contractor’s entitlement to an extension of the Contract Times is limited to a Stadium Manager -caused extension of the critical path, reduced by the Contractor’s concurrent delays, and established by a proper time impact analysis.

No time extension shall be allowed unless, and then only to the extent that, the Stadium Manager-caused delay extends the critical path beyond the previously approved Contract Time. If approved, the increase in time required to complete the Work shall be added to the Contract Time.
a. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times for delays within the control of Contractor. Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Contractor.

Areas and Special Event Spaces Project

-59- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

control and without the fault or negligence of both Contractor and any Subcontractors or Suppliers, or any other persons or organizations employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, and that such causes in fact lead to performance or completion of the Work, or specified part in question, beyond the corresponding Contract Times, despite Contractor’s reasonable and diligent actions to guard against those effects. b. Each request for an extension of Contract Time must include a time impact analysis in CPM format, using the Contemporaneous Impacted As -Planned Schedule Analysis to calculate the impact of the delay event.

8. No Damages for Reasonable Delay.
a. Stadium Manager’s liability to Contractor for delays for which Stadium Manager is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances.

9. Contractor’s failure, neglect, or refusal to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents, or any portion thereof, shall bar Contractor’s request for extensions of the Contract Times. Such failure, neglect, or refusal prejudices Stadium Manager’s and Stadium Manager’s Representative’s ability to recognize and mitigate delay, and such failure, neglect, or refusal prevent the timely analysis of requests for extensions of Contract Times, and whether such extensions may be warranted. Contractor hereby waives all rights to extensions of Contract Times due to delays or accelerations that result from or occur during periods of time for which Contractor fails, neglects, or refuses to fully comply with the requirements of this Article.

If Contractor advises the Stadium Manager in writing prior to acceptance of final payment or return of the securities that there is a dispute regarding the amount due the Contractor, the Stadium Manager may pay the undisputed amount contingent upon the Contractor furnishing a release of all undisputed claims against the Stadium Manager with the disputed claims in stated amounts being specifically excluded by Contractor from the operation of the release. No payments, however, final or otherwise, shall operate to release Contractor or its sureties from the Faithful Performance Bond, Labor and Material Payment Bond, or from any other obligation under this contract.
