TOTAL BASE BID PRICE ---------- --------- -------
Bidders must provide pricing for every bid item. Base Bid items above are reflected in the project plans.

The estimated quantities for unit price items are for purposes of comparing bids only and the City makes no representation that the actual quantities of work performed will not vary from the estimates.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the line item cost set forth for a unit price item, the line item cost, calculated at the unit price multiplied by the estimated quantity, shall prevail and shall be utilized as the basis for determining the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

However, if the amount set forth as a unit price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is omitted, or is the same amount as the entry in the “Line Item Cost” column, then the amount set forth in the “Line Item Cost” column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price. If any of the above discrepancies exist, the City may recalculate the bid price on the basis of the unit price and the bidder agrees to be bound by such recalculation. Final payment for unit price items shall be determined by the City from measured quantities of work performed.

CONTRACT
THIS CONTRACT is made this _____ day of _________, 20__, in the County of Colusa, State of California, by and between the City of Williams, hereinafter called City, and ______________________________, hereinafter called Contractor. The City and the Contractor for the considerations stated herein agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK. The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated by the Contract and shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation to complete all of the Work required in strict compliance with the Contract Documents (specified in Article 5 below) for the following Project:

Williams Highway Safety Improvement Program, Systematic Improvements 03- Williams-1.1 Project
The Contractor and its surety shall be liable to the City for any damages arising as a result of the Contractor’s failure to comply with this obligation.

ARTICLE 2. TIME FOR COMPLETION. Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the date stated in the City’s Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work required by the Contract Documents within 30 work days from the commencement date stated in the Notice to Proceed, herein after the Contract Time.

ARTICLE 3. CONTRACT PRICE. The City shall pay to the Contractor as full compensation for the performance of the Contract, subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the Contract Documents, and including all applicable taxes and costs, the sum of ____________________________________________________________ Dollars ($_________________________________), hereinafter the Contract Price.

Payment shall be made as set forth in the General Conditions.

ARTICLE 4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each and every day completion of the Project is delayed beyond the Contract Time. Because of the nature of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City’s actual damages. Accordingly, as provided in Government Code section 53069.85, it is agreed that the Contractor will pay the City the sum of $1000 for each and every calendar day of delay in completing the Work beyond the Contract Time, as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty or forfeiture. In the event the Liquidated Damages are not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may deduct that amount from any money due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract.

82276.00009\9786230.1
This Article does not affect the City’s rights to other damages or remedies specified in the Contract Documents or allowed by law.

Should Contractor be inexcusably delayed in the performance of the Work, City may deduct Liquidated Damages based on its estimate of when Contractor will achieve Final Completion or other milestones. City need not wait until Final Completion to withhold Liquidated Damages from Contractor.

Liquidated Damages are not a penalty but an agreed upon estimate of the actual damages that would be sustained by the City for delay, including but not limited to loss of revenue, inconvenience to the City and the public, and increased Project administration expenses, such as extra inspection, construction management, staff time and architectural and engineering expenses. Liquidated Damages do not include actual damages the City incurs on account of claims by third parties against the City on account of any delay.

Should money due or to become due to the Contractor be insufficient to cover Liquidated Damages or other offsets due, then Contractor forthwith shall pay the remainder of the assessed liquidated damages to City.
