4.01 EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT

Since this is a specialized type of construction requiring unique experience and equipment, only General

Construction Bidders having prior experience on golf course renovation projects will be considered. The

General Contractor shall be a member in good standing of the Golf Course Builder’s Association of

America (GCBAA) and shall have successfully completed the complete renovation or new construction of

at least three nine-hole golf courses in the past three years.

The contractor or individual responsible for repair of the irrigation system shall have a minimum of 12

years’ experience installing golf course irrigation systems of comparable size including the installation of

at least three (3) complete nine-hole golf course irrigation systems within the last 3 years.

5.01 SCHEDULE.

Construction will commence on September 2, 2019. The contractor shall be expected to complete all

work including grassing and irrigation by October 18, 2019 which shall be known as the Substantial

completed including clean-up and repair of haul roads, etc.

6.01 TIME OF COMPLETION

formally approved extensions granted by the Owner. If the Contractor does not diligently pursue the

completion of the project, the Owner will have the liberty of taking action for damages. The liquidated

damages provision is intended as a reasonable estimate of the Owner’s damages caused by the

Contractor’s failure to complete the work by the completion date and as a settlement of actual damages

that might arise because of such failure. The parties agree that these damages are reasonable, bear

significant relation to the actual damages which the Owner might sustain, which damages Contractor and

Owner would agree would be uncertain and difficult to prove, and is not a penalty for the Contractor’s

failure to perform.

8.01 PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS

This project is not subject to prevailing wage.

9.01 EXAMINATION OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND SITE

All bidders and sub-bidders are cautioned to familiarize themselves with the contents of all the plans

and specifications and conditions existing at the site. They must also familiarize themselves with all

the ordinances and statutes pertaining to public improvements.

Should the bidder find discrepancies between the drawings and specifications, or omissions from

the drawings or other contract documents, or should he be in doubt as to the intent, he should at

once notify the Golf Course Architect who may, if necessary, issue written instructions to all bidders.

The lack of understanding as to intent, amount of work involved, or his lack of knowledge of the

conditions pertaining to the work shall not relieve the Contractor from performing all the work

required to complete performance of the Contract.

It is the responsibility of each bidder to be aware of the work required under other proposals, if any,

insofar as they affect his work.

No bidder may rely upon any statements or representations of any officer, agent, or employee of the Owner

with reference to the conditions of the work or the character of the soil or other hazards which may be

encountered in the course of construction.

10.01 BID SECURITY

Each bid shall be accompanied by a cash deposit, certified or cashier's check, or bid bond with a corporate

surety authorized to contract as a surety in the State of Iowa, in an amount of at least equal to five percent

(5%) of the total amount of the base bid, payable to the City as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into a

contract with the City for the work described in the bid, and the amount of the bid security of a successful

bidder shall be forfeited to the City as liquidated damages in the event that such bidder fails to enter into a

contract and furnish contractor's bond.

The Bid security of the apparent Successful Bidder will be retained until Owner awards the contract to such

Bidder, and such Bidder has executed the Contract Documents, furnished the required contract security, and

met the other conditions of the Notice of Award, whereupon the Bid security will be released. If the Successful

Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Contract Documents and furnish the required contract security within

15 days after the Notice of Award, Owner may consider Bidder to be in default, annul the Notice of Award,

and the Bid security of that Bidder will be forfeited. Such forfeiture shall be Owner’s exclusive remedy if

Bidder defaults.

The Bid security of other Bidders that Owner believes to have a reasonable chance of receiving the award

may be retained by Owner until the earlier of seven days after the Effective Date of the Contract or 61 days

after the Bid opening, whereupon Bid security furnished by such Bidders will be released.

9

Cash deposits, certified checks, and bidder’s bonds of the three (3) lowest bidders may be retained until the contract has been awarded and executed, but no longer than 90 days from the date of opening bids. All other deposits will be refunded promptly.

be released within seven days after the Bid opening.

prior to receipt of bids, the submitted Formal Quotation Form, Instructions to Bidders, General Contract

Conditions, Special Provisions, Technical Specifications, Contract in the form attached hereto, Contract Bond

in the form attached hereto, Payment Bond in the form attached hereto, all plans and drawings, and any

Change Orders issued in accordance with the General Contract Conditions. The Contract Documents are

complementary, and what is required by any one shall be as binding as if required by all.

12.01 PREPARATION OF BID

The Bidder shall submit his/her bid on the forms provided by the Golf Course Architect.

The blank spaces in the bids shall be filled in correctly with ink where indicated for each and every item for

which a quantity is given, and the bidder shall state the prices for which he/she proposes to do each item of

the work contemplated.

address shall be shown. If made by a firm, partnership or corporation, the name and legal address shall be

shown.

13.01 CONDITIONS IN BID

before the hour of opening the bid and such withdrawn bid may be modified and resubmitted by the bidder at

any time prior to the hour set for the opening of bids.

15.01 PUBLIC OPENING OF BIDS

Bids will be opened publicly and read aloud in such place as designated at the time and the date set in the

Advertisement for Bids. Bidders or their authorized agents are invited to be present.

16.01 EVALUATION AND REJECTION OF BIDS

Owner reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, including without limitation, nonconforming, nonresponsive, unbalanced, or conditional Bids. Owner further reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder whom it finds, after reasonable inquiry and evaluation, to not be responsible. Owner may also reject the Bid of any Bidder if Owner believes that it would not be in the best interest of the Project to

10

make an award to that Bidder. Owner also reserves the right to waive all informalities not involving price, time, or changes in the Work and to negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder.

In evaluating Bids, Owner will consider whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and such alternates, unit prices and other data, as may be requested in the Bid Form or prior to the Notice of Award.

Bids may be rejected if the bidder does not meet the minimum experience requirement or if the bids show any

omission, alteration of form, additions not called for, conditional bids or alternate bids not specified or

irregularities of any kind. Bids in which the prices are obviously unbalanced may be rejected.

More than one Bid for the same Work from an individual or entity under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Bidder has an interest in more than one Bid for the Work may be cause for disqualification of that Bidder and the rejection of all Bids in which that Bidder has an interest.

In evaluating Bidders, Owner will consider the qualifications of Bidders and may consider the qualifications and experience of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities proposed for those portions of the Work for which the identity of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities must be submitted as provided in the Supplementary Conditions.

Owner may conduct such investigations as Owner deems necessary to establish the responsibility, qualifications, and financial ability of Bidders, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers, individuals, or entities proposed for those portions of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Failure on the part of any bidder to carry out previous contracts satisfactorily or his/her lack of the experience

or equipment necessary for the satisfactory completion of the work may be deemed sufficient cause for his

disqualification.

17.01 AWARD OF THE CONTRACT

If the Contract is to be awarded, Owner will award the Contract to the Bidder whose Bid is in the best interests of the Project.

The Owner will consider award of bids for this project and reserves the right to reject all bids if it appears, based on bid prices received, it is not in the best interest of the Owner to award the work. The low bid for the work will be the lowest total bid for all sections of the work awarded. The Owner reserves the right to award the contract based on either the lowest base bid or the lowest combined total of the base bid and any combination of the bid alternates.

When Owner issues a Notice of Award to the Successful Bidder, it shall be accompanied by the unexecuted

counterparts of the Agreement along with the other Contract Documents as identified in the Agreement.

Within 15 days thereafter, Successful Bidder shall execute and deliver the required number of counterparts of

the Agreement (and any bonds and insurance

the bidder.

weight is one of the specified requirements) condition and previous length of service of all equipment to be

used in completing the proposed work.

20.01 FURNISHING OF EVIDENCE OF RESPONSIBILITY

11

When requested by the City the Bidder shall furnish a balance sheet, certified by a certified public accountant

as to date not more than sixty (60) days prior to date of the opening of bids which shall set forth outstanding

assets and liabilities in reasonable detail. The bidder shall also furnish a list of work of similar nature

performed with dates of completion thereof. The bidder shall also furnish any other additional information

relative to financial responsibility and competence to do the work as may be requested by the City prior to

acceptance of any bid. The City reserves the right to reject any bid where the available evidence of

information does not satisfy the City that the bidder is qualified to carry out properly the terms of the proposed

Contract.

In determining responsibility, the Owner may also consider the Bidder’s record of integrity and business

ethics; whether the Bidder is presently disbarred or suspended from participating in any public project,

whether the procuring entity is the federal government, a state government, a county, or a municipality and

other factors bearing on its qualifications to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

21.01 REQUIREMENTS OF CONTRACT AND BOND

form A101 Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Contractor. At the same time the successful

the contract for each bond with a corporate surety satisfactory to the City in the form attached hereto as

Exhibit D and Exhibit E. Personal Sureties will not be approved.

22.01 FAILURE TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS

by the City, shall be just cause for the annulment of the award, and it shall be understood by the bidder that in

the event of the annulment of the award, the amount of the guaranty deposited with the bid shall be retained

by the City, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages. Said liquidated damages shall cover only the

damages sustained by the City due to additional administrative costs, expenses of re-advertising and

rebidding, and other damages sustained by the City as a result of failure of the bidder to furnish a bond or

execute and deliver the Contract when required, but shall not cover, nor preclude the City from claiming

damages on account of delay, price changes, loss of other contracts, loss of income, inability of the City to

fulfill other contracts, loss of the benefits of the Contract with bidder, or other damages directly or

prejudice.

5. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense take one of the following

with the Owners concurrence, to be secured with performance and

payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the

amount of damages as described in Paragraph 7 in excess of the

Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the Owner as a result of the Contractor Default; or

5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for

completion, or obtain a new contractor, and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances:

5.4.1 After investigation, determine the amount for which

it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or

5.4.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial.

6. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 5 with

reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this

Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations

under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Paragraph

5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment or the Surety has denied liability,

in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.

7. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3, then the

responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of

the Owner to the Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under

the Construction Contract. Subject to the commitment by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price, the Surety is obligated, without

duplication for:

7.2 additional legal, design professional, and delay costs

resulting from the Contractor’s Default, and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 5; and

specified in the Construction Contract, actual damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor.

8. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.3, or 5.4, the

Surety’s liability is limited to the amount of this Bond.

9. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations

of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Construction Contract, and the

Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors,

administrators, successors, and assigns.

10. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of

time, to the Construction Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase

orders, and other obligations.

in any court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the work or

part of the work is located and shall be instituted within two years after a declaration of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor

ceased working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to

perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum

periods of limitations available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of

the suit shall be applicable.

12. Notice to the Surety, the Owner, or the Contractor shall be mailed or

delivered to the address shown on the page on which their signature

appears.

other legal requirement in the location where the construction was to be

performed, any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement shall be deemed deleted herefrom and provisions

conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be deemed

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

1. Project Location. The Meadows Golf Club is located at15766 Clover Ln, Asbury, IA 52002.

2. Project Goals and Justification. The Meadows Golf Club is an existing 18-hole golf course which opened for play in 1996 and is owned by the City of Asbury, Iowa. In order to address course conditioning, playability and on-going maintenance the Owner will conduct a renovation of existing sand bunkers. A number of bunkers will be removed and other bunkers will be repositioned in order to create a more enjoyable experience. In addition, the width of the fairways will be adjusted in order to improve playability and pace of play.

3. Schedule. It is anticipated that the project will be awarded on March 12, 2019. Construction shall

begin on Monday, September 2, 2019. Prior to construction, the Owner shall scalp and spray the

proposed areas of disturbance around each bunker to kill the existing turf. The Contractor shall

complete all golf course construction work prior to the Substantial Completion date of November 8,

2019 at which time all grading, irrigation and grassing work shall be complete. The final

completion date shall be Friday November 15, 2019 at which time all work, including clean-up, haul

road repair and removal of any excess materials or debris shall be complete.

4. Permits. The Contractor shall be responsible for applying for and obtaining a grading permit from

the local government agency as well as any additional permits including NPDES permits.

5. Site Access and Staging. The contractor shall stage equipment and the job trailer at the east end

of the maintenance facility parking lot. Sand and topsoil may be stored on the pavement in the clubhouse parking lot. The contractor shall be expected to repair any damage to existing vegetation or property including irrigation components or cart paths.

6. Materials provided by Contractor. The Contractor shall provide all materials including irrigation

components, basins and grates, drain tile, topsoil, gravel, sand, seed and sod. The contractor shall be responsible for transporting all materials to the construction site. The base bid price should include approximately 510 cubic yards of topsoil. Any changes in quantities or pricing shall be approved by the Golf Course Architect prior to completing the work.

7. Grading. Grading shall include removing existing sod and topsoil and the establishment of the

proposed sub-grades for the project areas. The Contractor shall rototill the existing sod using a Blecavator, Rotodarian or similar to incorporate the sod/organic material in to the topsoil. Approximately 2 weeks prior to commencement of the work, the Owner shall spray the sod with Round-up to kill it. Whenever possible, the Golf Course Architect will work with the Contractor to minimize the need for relocating fill soil. However, it is expected that many of the bunkers will generate excess soil or sand which will need to be relocated for use as fill in other areas as noted on the plan. The drawings indicate approximately 350 cubic yards of soil to be hauled from work area to work area. In addition, there is approximately 400 cubic yards of additional fill soil available on site at the maintenance facility yard for use as needed. The intent is to balance soil quantities so that, other than topsoil and bunker sand, no soil shall be imported or exported from the golf course.

8. Sand Bunkers. There are 42 existing sand bunkers. The Contractor shall remove 21 existing

bunkers and construct 12 new bunkers will be added as part of the base bid. In addition, 21 existing bunkers shall be reconstructed as part of the base bid as shown on the plans. The Owner currently purchases Masons Sand for their bunkers from Bard Material in Dyersville, Iowa. All base bid bunkers shall include Better Billy Bunker liner and Ohio Best Signature Blend sand. Alternates are being requested which, if accepted, would provide for the installation of Bard Mason’s Sand in

28

lieu of Ohio Best Sand and/or the installation of Flexxcape or Polylast on the entire bunker floor or SandTrapper MD bunker liner on 40% of the bunker floor in lieu of Better Billy Bunker liner. Bunkers which are to be removed shall be regraded to create mounding or drainage collection areas as noted on the plans. Bunkers which are to be reconstructed shall be reshaped and re-graded per the architect’s drawings and on-site instructions. All bunkers shall have internal drainage only with 4 inch perforated tile and rock. The Contractor shall salvage existing topsoil. The existing soils consist of sandy clay loam and clay soils and therefore the existing bunker sand may be incorporated in to the construction area and capped with native soils and topsoil. The total square footage of the proposed sand bunkers is approximately 13,000 square feet. The Contractor shall be responsible for removing the existing sod, stripping and replacing topsoil, shaping, topsoil hauling and placement, irrigation adjustments, subsurface drainage, final grading, sod prep and grassing. Existing bunkers have 4” perforated drain tile. Unless otherwise noted, the Contractor shall install new tile within the bunker cavity and extend approximately 20 feet outside the proposed bunker cavity where it will tie into the existing outfall tile. Base bid shall include an allowance of 5,000 square feet of fescue so for use on sodding the faces of the bunkers. Approximately 400 square feet of fescue sod shall be used on each of approximately 13 of the larger bunkers. A number of deduct alternates have been requested which, if accepted, would provide for the elimination of some bunkers from the base bid.

9. Drainage. The Contractor shall also install proposed catch basins and daylight or connect to

existing tile lines as indicated on the plans. Leave catch basins and pea rock high to provide inlet protection during construction and cut off at the time of sodding. Bubbler basins and catch basins will be 12” diameter HDPE.

10. Irrigation. The existing irrigation system was installed in approximately 1996 and utilizes a Toro

irrigation system with 750 and some and 800 series heads on PVC pipe. The system has a Flowtronix pump station which was updated in 2013. The Contractor shall be responsible for locating all existing irrigation lines and making all irrigation repairs including the relocation of existing heads or pipe which may be disturbed during construction of bunkers or collection areas. All irrigation repairs shall be considered incidental to the project. The Owner shall assist the Contractor in locating existing irrigation lines whenever possible. The Contractor may request that the architect attempt to adjust the bunker location or shape to minimize disturbance to the irrigation system. An alternate is being requested which, if accepted, would provide for the Owner to be responsible for adjusting the height of any existing heads. This would not include adjustments or repairs which would require cutting pipe or rewiring heads. The base bid shall include five (5) new Toro 800 full circle valve-in-head contingency heads with pipe and wire to be used at the Owner’s/Golf Course Architect’s discretion.

11. Topsoil. Existing soils are sandy clay loam or clay. The Contractor shall use a Rotodarian or

Blecovator to till the area of disturbance prior to construction and then strip, stockpile and replace existing topsoil. In addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for supplying, hauling and installing additional topsoil for use in finish grading and prep prior to grassing.

12. Sod & Seeding. The Contractor shall be responsible for stripping or roto-tilling all existing sod

within the work area and then installing new seed and/or sod as specified.

13. Maturation/Maintenance. Because there are numerous areas in which work is occurring, upon completion of the work in a particular area, the Contractor may request approval to turn the work

29

over to the Owner for maintenance. Upon completion of the grassing of a particular area, the Contractor shall be responsible for the initial watering of all sod. The Owner shall then be responsible for all additional watering, mowing and maintenance of the work areas. However, the Contractor shall remain responsible for any construction deficiencies and erosion resulting from improper grading until the Final Completion Date and final acceptance by the Owner. Upon completion of all work, the Contractor shall request Preliminary Acceptance (paragraph 60) and Final Acceptance (paragraph 61) of the Work as outlined in the General Conditions.

such time as may be necessary because of the failure of the Contractor to comply with the

provisions of the Contract. Such "Suspension of Work Order" shall be in writing and will state the

reason or reasons for such suspension, the effective date, and the operations suspended. Any

work done by the Contractor contrary to such "Suspension of Work Order" shall be considered as

unauthorized work and as having been done at the expense of the Contractor.

reasons for ordering such resumption, the effective date, and the operations to be resumed.

If it should become necessary to suspend operations by any indefinite period, the Contractor

41

shall, before leaving the Work, take every precaution to store all materials and equipment in such

a manner to prevent damage or deterioration, protect the Work performed, and provide suitable

drainage of the Work and shall erect temporary structures where necessary.

the Contract and to call to the attention of the Contractor any such failure or infringement. In case

of any dispute arising between the Contractor and the Inspector as to the material furnished, or

the manner of performing the Work, the Inspector shall have the authority to reject materials or

suspend the Work until such matter can be referred to, and decided by the Golf Course Architect.

No advice which the Inspector may give the Contractor shall be construed as binding upon the

Owner nor will such advice release the Contractor from the fulfillment of the terms of the Contract.

If the specifications, the Golf Course Architect's instructions, laws, ordinances, or any public

authority require any work to be specially tested or approved, the Contractor shall give the Golf

Course Architect timely notice of its readiness for inspection, and if the inspection is by another

42

out of any monies due or which may become due the Contractor. Continued failure or refusal on

the part of the Contractor to make any or all necessary repairs promptly, fully and in acceptable

manner shall be sufficient cause for the Owner at his option, to purchase materials, tools and

equipment, and employ labor or to contract with any other individual, firm or corporation to

perform the Work. All costs and expenses incurred thereby shall be charged against the

Contractor, and the amount thereof deducted from any monies due or which may become due

the plans, and those shown are only approximately correct and no responsibility is assumed by

the Owner or the Golf Course Architect for the accuracy of location. The Contractor shall make

such investigations as are necessary to determine the extent to which existing structures may

interfere with the work under this Contract.

The Contractor shall not claim or be entitled to receive compensation for any damages sustained

by reason of the inaccuracy or the omission of any of the information given on the plans, relative

to the surface, overhead or underground structures or utilities and shall be responsible to protect

and maintain their operation during the time the Work is in progress.

The Owner and the Golf Course Architect shall be indemnified and saved harmless from any suit

44

or expense claim brought for or on account of any damage, maintenance, removal and/or

replacement, or relocation of mains, conduits, pipes, poles, wires, cables or other such structures

of private utility firms or corporations, whether underground or overhead, that may be caused or

required by the Contractor during the time the Work is in progress. However, in cases where

alignment, as shown on the plans, coincides with the existing location of either an overhead or

underground privately owned utility (installed and located in accordance with a permit issued by

the City or County) so that, in the opinion of the Golf Course Architect, the relocation of said utility

is required to complete the installation, the Owner shall provide for such relocation.

33.01 WORK IN STORMS

The Golf Course Architect shall have the right to stop work during rain or snow storms and all

freshly installed work, shall be protected in a manner to prevent flooding and washing by runoff.

The Contractor, realizing inclement weather in imminent, should not start work that should not be

interrupted. The Contractor will not be entitled to extra compensation for work so stopped or

delayed by the Golf Course Architect.

34.01 WORKING HOURS AND NIGHT WORK

equipment or other power equipment shall be equipped with mufflers.

36.01 WATER

obtaining any water which may be needed.

37.01 SANITARY PROVISIONS

The Contractor shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations of the State and Local Health

Authorities and shall take necessary precautions to avoid unsanitary conditions.

Suitable sanitary conveniences for the use of all persons employed on the Work properly

screened from public observation, shall be provided and maintained by the Contractor through

the progress of the Work.

38.01 FOSSILS

Should any fossils, archeological treasure or other unusual or valuable geological formations be

found in the progress of the Work, such fossils, treasure or sample of geological formations shall

be carefully preserved by the Contractor who shall promptly notify the Owner so the proper

authorities and interested parties may be notified. These items shall be the property of the

Owner.

45

39.01 FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE WORK ON TIME

The Contractor guarantees that he can and will complete the Work within the time limit stated in

the Contract, or within the time as may be extended by Change Order. Inasmuch as the damage

and loss to the Owner which will result from the failure of the contractor to complete the Work

within the stipulated time, will be most difficult or impossible of accurate assessment, the damage

to the Owner for such delay and failure on the part of the Contractor shall be liquidated at a daily

rate in an amount as specified in paragraph 41.01 of the General Conditions for each calendar

day, Sundays and Legal Holidays included, by which the Contractor shall fail to complete the

work or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof. Such liquidated damages shall

not be considered as a penalty but as the extra cost of field and office administration and

inspection time. The Owner will deduct and retain out of any monies due or become due

hereunder the amount of liquidated damages.

Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the Work or any part of it after the time fixed for

its completion, or after the date of which the time for completion may have been extended, shall

in no way operated as a waiver on the part of the Owner of any of its rights under the Contract.

Neither by the taking over of the Work by the Owner, nor by the termination of the Contract, shall

the Owner forfeit the right to recover liquidated damages from the Contractor or his Surety for

failure to complete the Contract.

40.01 DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME

If the Contractor should be delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by an act or neglect of

the Owner or Golf Course Architect or any employee of either, or by any other contractor

employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by strike, fire, unusual delay in

transportation, unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by any

cause which the Golf Course Architect shall decide to justify the delay, then the time of

completion shall be extended for such reasonable time as the Owner may decide, and the

decision of the Owner shall be binding on both parties and shall not be arbitrary or unreasonable.

No such extension shall be made for delay unless claim therefore is made in writing to the Golf

Course Architect with seven (7) days after the period of delay shall have commenced. The

Contractor shall not be entitled to extension of time for each several causes of delay operative

concurrently, but only for the actual period of delay. The Contractor shall have no claim for

damages against the Owner for delay in performance of the Contract due to any act or omission

of the Owner or any of its representatives, and his sole remedy on account thereof shall be his

right to apply to the Golf Course Architect for extension of time as provided herein.

41.01 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Beginning on Monday, October 28, 2019 an amount equal to three hundred dollars ($300.00)

per calendar day will paid by the Contractor for completion of work after the substantial

completion date and until completion of the work.

Time extensions may be granted due to increases in the Contract amount or by formally

approved extensions granted by the Owner. If the Contractor does not diligently pursue the

completion of the project, the Owner will have the liberty of taking action for damages. The

liquidated damages provision is intended as a reasonable estimate of the Owner’s damages

caused by the Contractor’s failure to complete the work by the completion date and as a

settlement of actual damages that might arise because of such failure. The parties agree that

these damages are reasonable, bear significant relation to the actual damages which the Owner

might sustain, which damages Contractor and Owner would agree would be uncertain and

difficult to prove, and is not a penalty for the Contractor’s failure to perform.

46

42.01 UNAUTHORIZED WORK

Except as otherwise provided in the Contract, work done without lines or elevations being given

or with materials which have not been given the required inspection may be considered as

unauthorized work and as having been done at the expense of the Contractor. Compensation for

such work will be made only in the event the Golf Course Architect determines it to be acceptable

to the Owner. Any work which may be done by the Contractor prior to the approval of the

Contract may be considered as unauthorized work and as having been done at the expense of

the Contractor. Compensation for such work will be made only in the event that the Contract is

approved and the Golf Course Architect determines the work to be acceptable to the Owner.

Any work done which is not specified in the Contract Documents and which is not ordered by the

Golf Course Architect to be done in writing, and any work done by the Contractor contrary to the

terms of any "Suspension of Work Order" issued by the Golf Course Architect will be considered

as unauthorized work and will not be paid for by the Owner. Any unauthorized work may be

ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense.

43.01 CONFORMITY WITH PLANS AND ALLOWABLE DEVIATIONS

No deviations from the plans for the Work or approved change orders will be permitted without

the written order of the Golf Course Architect.

44.01 COORDINATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Contractor shall take no advantage of any apparent error, inconsistency or omission in the

Contract Documents or the Plans or Specifications, but the Golf Course Architect shall be

permitted to make such corrections and interpretations as may be deemed necessary for the

fulfillment of the intent of the Contract Documents and the Plans and Specifications.

Any work not herein or on the plans specifically specified but which may be fairly implied or

understood as included in the Contract, shall be done by the Contractor without extra charge.

Any ambiguity or discrepancy in the Plans or Specifications shall be adjusted by using the best

class of work or materials.

In the case of any discrepancy between the scale and figures on all plans, details, etc., the

figured dimensions shall govern.

In the case of any discrepancy between the quantities shown in the proposal and those shown on

the plans, the plans shall prevail. In case any other discrepancy that occurs between the Plans

and the Specifications, the decision of the Golf Course Architect shall be decisive thereon.

45.01 CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT TO REQUEST CHANGES

If the Contractor shall discover prior to or during construction anything in the Plans or

Specifications or in supplementary directions by the Golf Course Architect which in the opinion of

the Contractor appears to be omitted or in error, he shall forthwith advise the Golf Course

Architect in writing of the particulars. It is understood and agreed that, if no objections is raised

by the Contractor under the provisions of this paragraph, the Contractor waives any right to

contest the provisions of his Contract on the basis of faulty design.

47

46.01 ALTERATIONS OF PLANS OR CHARACTER OF WORK

The Golf Course Architect is given the right as the Work progresses, to make such alterations in

the plans or in the character of the Work as may be considered necessary or desirable, in order

to complete fully and perfect he construction of the Work. Such changes shall in no way

invalidate the Contract. The Contractor will be informed in writing of any or all such alterations in

character of work, before being ordered to perform such work. After receipt of such notice, the

Contractor will be given a reasonable length of time to accept or to protest the performance of

work covered by such alterations. Should the Contractor, after having been notified and before

any agreement has been reached, perform any of the Work covered by such alterations, it will be

construed that he has accepted such alterations of the Work.

The Plans and Specifications show the Work to be performed. Construction conditions may

require that minor changes be made in locations and installation of the Work and equipment to be

furnished and other work to be performed hereunder and the Contractor when ordered by the

Golf Course Architect shall make such adjustments and changes do not alter the quantity or cost

of the Work as a whole and provided further the Plans and Specifications showing such

adjustments and changes are furnished the Contractor by the Golf Course Architect within a

reasonable time and before any work involving such adjustments and changes are made.

47.01 INCREASED OR DECREASED QUANTITIES OF WORK

The Golf Course Architect is given the right to increase or decrease any or all items specified in

the Contract Documents including the elimination of one or more of such items.

Such changes shall not invalidate the Contract or any Contract Document.

No allowance or payment for anticipated profits will be made for decreased or eliminated items of

Work. For purposes of this Article "items" means any specifically described unit of work for which

a price is provided in the Contract Documents.

48.01 CHANGES IN THE WORK

The Owner, to the extent authorized by law, may order and direct extra work or make changes in

the Work by altering, adding to, or deducting from the Work without invalidating the Contract, and

the Contract sum will be adjusted accordingly. No such order for extra work or change shall be

valid unless authorized by the Golf Course Architect and communicated to the Contractor in

writing. All such work shall be executed under the conditions of the original Contract, except that

any claim for extension of time caused thereby shall be adjusted at the time of ordering such

change.

The value of any authorized extra work or change shall be determined for purpose of

compensating the Contractor in one or more of the following ways:

By unit prices named in the Contract wherever such unit prices are applicable to the extra work or

change.

By an acceptable lump sum proposed from the Contractor and accepted in writing by the Owner.

Where the above does not apply and Owner and Contractor cannot agree, then by force account

paid for in the following manner:

For all labor and foreman in direct charge of the specific work, the Contractor will receive the

actual wages paid for each and every hour that said labor and foreman are actually engaged in

48

such work, plus the cost of bond, insurance, and taxes allowable to such wage cost, to which cost

shall be added ten (10) percent of the sum thereof. No charge shall be made by the Contractor

for organization or overhead expenses.

For all materials unused, the Contractor will receive the actual cost of such materials including

freight charges as shown by original receipts or bills, to which cost shall be added ten (10)

percent of the sum thereof.

Where materials are not specifically purchased for "Force Account" work, but are taken from the

Contractor's stock, the Contractor shall submit an affidavit of the quality, price and freight on such

materials in lieu of original bills and invoices. The affidavit shall be approved by the Owner.

For any machinery, trucks, or equipment including fuel and lubricants, which it may be deemed

necessary or desirable to use, the Contractor will receive a reasonable rental price, for each and

every hour that said machinery, trucks and equipment are in use on such work, and to which sum

no percentage will be added. Such rental price shall not exceed the rates established by the

A.G.C. for this district for comparable rentals and shall be subject to the Owner approval.

The compensation as herein provided shall be received by the Contractor as payment in full for

work done by "Force Account" and said ten percent (10%) for labor and said ten percent (10%)

for materials shall be agreed to cover profit, superintendence, general expense, overhead, bond

premiums, insurance and the use of small tools and equipment for which no rental is allowed.

The Contractor or his representative and the Golf Course Architect or his representative shall

compare records of work on a "Force Account" basis at the end of each day. Copies of records

shall be made in triplicate on Force Account forms, provided for this purpose by the Owner and

signed by both parties. To all such claims for Force Account work, the Contractor shall attach

receipted bills for, or affidavits of materials used and freight receipts covering freight on such

materials used, and said claims shall be presented to the Golf Course Architect for payment not

later than the fifth (5th) day of the month following that in which the work was actually performed

and shall include all labor charges and material charges insofar as they can be verified.

Should the Contractor refuse or fail to execute the extra work or change as ordered and directed,

or to submit his claim as required, the Owner may withhold payment of all current estimates until

Contractor's refusal or failure is eliminated, or after giving the Contractor due notice the Owner

may make payment for said work on a basis of a reasonable estimate of the value of the extra

work or change performed.

49.01 CLAIMS AND PROTESTS

If the Contractor claims any instructions by drawings or otherwise to be unfair or involve extra

cost under this Contract for which he would claim extra compensation, he shall give the Golf

Course Architect written notice thereof within a reasonable time after the receipt of such

instructions, and in any event before proceeding to execute the work, except in emergency

endangering life or property, and the procedure shall then be as provided for changes in the

Work. No such claims will be valid unless so made.

50.01 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Contract, or the breach thereof, and if the dispute

cannot be settled through negotiation, the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle the

dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Construction

Industry Mediation Rules before resorting to litigation or some other dispute-resolution procedure.

49

51.01 THE RIGHT OF THE OWNER TO DO THE WORK

If the Contractor should neglect to prosecute the Work properly, or fail to perform any provision of

the Contract, the Owner after three (3) days written notice to the Contractor, may without

prejudice to any other remedy the Owner may have, make good such deficiencies and may

deduct the cost thereof from the payment then or thereafter due the Contractor, provided,

however, that the Golf Course Architect shall approve both such action and the amount charged

to the Contractor.

52.01 RIGHT OF THE OWNER TO DECLARE CONTRACTOR IN DEFAULT

In addition to those instances specifically referred to in other Articles herein, the Owner shall have

the right to declare the Contractor in default of the whole or any part of the Work if:

The Contractor becomes insolvent; or if

The Contractor makes an assignment for the benefits of creditors pursuant to the statutes

of the State; or if

A voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy be filed by or against the Contractor; or if

The Contractor fails to commence work when notified to do so by the Golf Course

Architect; or if

The Contractor shall abandon the Work; or if

The Contractor shall refuse to proceed with the Work when and as directed by the Golf

Course Architect; or if

The Contractor shall without just cause reduce his working force to a number which, if

maintained, would be insufficient, in the onion of the Golf Course Architect, to complete

the Work in accordance with the approved Progress Schedule, and shall fail

or refuse sufficiently to increase such working force when ordered to do so by the Golf

Course Architect; or if

The Contractor shall sublet, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of this Contract

other than as herein specified; or if

A receiver or receivers are appointed to take charge of the Contractor's property or

affairs; or if

The Golf Course Architect shall be of the opinion that the Contractor is or has been

unnecessarily or unreasonable or willfully delaying the performance and completion of

the Work; or the award of necessary sub-contracts, or the placing of necessary material

and equipment orders; or if

The Golf Course Architect shall be of the opinion that the Work cannot be completed

within the time herein provided therefore or within the time to which such completion may

have been extended; provided, however, that the impossibility of timely completion is in

the Golf Course Architect's opinion, attributable to conditions within the Contractor's

control; or if

50

The Work is not completed within the time herein provided therefore or within the time to

which the Contractor may be entitled to have such completion extended.

Before the Owner shall exercise its right to declare the Contractor in default by reason of the

conditions set forth in items above, he shall give the Contractor an opportunity to be heard, on

two (2) days notice, at which hearing the Contractor may have a stenographer present, provided,

however, that a copy of such stenographic notes, if any, shall be furnished to the Owner.

53.01 EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT TO DECLARE IN DEFAULT

The right to declare in default for any of the grounds specified or referred to in Article 51 thereof,

shall be exercised by sending the Contractor a notice, signed by the Owner, setting forth the

ground or grounds upon which such default is declared.

54.01 QUITTING THE SITE

Upon receipt of such notice the Contractor shall immediately discontinue all further operations

under this Contract and shall immediately quit the site, leaving untouched all plant, materials,

equipment, tools and supplies then on the site.

55.01 COMPLETION OF THE WORK AFTER DEFAULT

The Owner, after declaring the Contractor in default, may then have the Work completed by such

means and in such manner, by contract with or without public letting, or otherwise, as it may

deem advisable, utilizing for such purpose such of the Contractor's plant, materials, equipment,

tools, and supplies remaining on the site, and also such subcontractors as it may deem

advisable.

After such completion, the Golf Course Architect shall make a certificate stating the expenses

incurred in such completion, which shall include the cost of re-letting and also the total amount of

liquidated damages (at the rate provided for in the Special Conditions) from the date when the

Work should have been completed by the Contractor in accordance with the terms hereof to the

date of actual completion of the Work. Such certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the

Contractor, his Sureties, and any person claiming under the Contractor, as to the amount thereof.

The expense of such completion, as so certified by the Golf Course Architect shall be charged

against and deducted out of such monies as would have been payable to the Contractor, if he

had completed the Work; the balance of such monies, if any, subject to the other provisions of

this Contract, to be paid to the Contractor without interest after such completion. Should the

expense of such completion, so certified by the Golf Course Architect, exceed the total sum which

would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed by the Contractor,

and such excess shall be paid by the Contractor to the Owner upon demand.

56.01 PARTIAL DEFAULT

In case the Owner shall declare the Contractor in default as to a part of the Work only, the

Contractor shall discontinue such part, shall continue performing the remainder of the Work in

strict conformity with the terms of the Contract, and shall in no way hinder or interfere with any

other contractors or persons who the Owner may engage to complete the Work as to which the

Contractor was declared in default.

The provisions of the clauses relating to declaring the Contractor in default as to the entire Work

shall be equally applicable to a declaration of partial default except that the Owner shall be

entitled to utilize for completion of the part of the Work as to which the Contractor was declared in

51

default only such plant, materials, equipment, tools, and supplies as had been previously used by

the Contractor on such part.

57.01 SCOPE OF PAYMENT

The Contractor shall receive and accept the compensation as herein provided, in full payment for

furnishing all materials, labor, tools, equipment, royalties, fees, insurance permits, bonds, etc.,

and for performing all Work contemplated and embraced under the Contract, also for all loss or

damage arising out of the nature of the Work, or from the action of the elements, until its final

acceptance by the Owner, and for all risks connected with the prosecution of the Work, also for all

expenses incurred by, or in consequence of, the suspension or discontinuance of prosecution of

the Work as herein specified and for completing all of the Work embraced in the Contract.

The Contractor shall under this Contract price furnish and pay for all material and incidental work,

furnish all accessories, and do everything which may be necessary to carry out the Contract in

good faith, which contemplates everything completed, in good working order, or good material

with accurate workmanship.

58.01 MEASUREMENTS

Before ordering any materials or doing any of the Work, the Contractor shall verify all

measurements and shall be responsible for the same.

No extra charge or compensation will be allowed on account of difference between actual

dimensions and measurements indicated on the plans; any difference which may be found shall

be submitted to the Golf Course Architect for consideration before proceeding with the Work.

U.S. Standard Measures have been used in the measurement of all work to be completed and

such measurements have been used as a basis for the computation of the quantities of work to

be performed. Where work is to be paid for by units of length, area, or volume, only the net

amount of work actually done, as it shall appear in the finished Work and herein specified shall be

paid for, local customs to the contrary not withstanding.

59.01 APPLICATION FOR PAYMENTS

Prior to the first application, the Contractor shall submit to the Golf Course Architect a schedule of

values for the various parts of the Work, including the quantities, aggregating the total sum of the

Contract divided so as to facilitate payments to subcontractors, made out in such form and

supported by such evidence as to its correctness as the Golf Course Architect may direct. The

Contractor shall submit to the Golf Course Architect an application for each payment verified as

required by law for claims against the Owner, and, if required, receipts or other vouchers showing

his payments for materials and labor including payments to subcontractors.

Application for progress payments authorized by the Contract shall be submitted by the 5th day of

the month following the months for which payment is requested. In applying for payments the

Contractor shall submit a statement based upon this schedule, supported by such evidence as

the Golf Course Architect may direct, showing his right to payment claimed. Payment claimed on

account of materials delivered and suitably stored at the site, but not incorporated in the Work,

shall, if required by the Golf Course Architect, be conditioned upon submission by the Contractor

of bills of sale, or such procedure as will establish the title of the Owner to such material, or

otherwise adequately protect the interest of the Owner. The Golf Course Architect will examine

claims for payment promptly, and his determination of the amount due on progress payments will

be final. Applications shall be made on AIA Document G702 with the accompanying Continuation

Form.

52

60.01 PARTIAL PAYMENTS

A. Provisions Applicable to All Contractors:

Unless payments are withheld by the Owner for reasons hereinbefore stated, or as stated

in 62.01 of this article, payment will be made at least once a month on a basis of ninety

percent (95%) of the Work done, provided the Work is progressing to the satisfaction of

the Golf Course Architect, five percent (5%) will be retained.

Monthly estimates may include the value of acceptable materials required in the

construction, which have been delivered on the site of the Work, and for which

acceptable provisions have been made for their preservation and storage. From the total

value of the materials so reported, five percent (5%) will be retained. Such material,

when so paid for by the Owner, shall become the property of the Owner, and in the event

of the default on the part of the Contractor, the Owner may use or cause to be used such

materials in the construction of the Work provided for in the Contract. The amount thus

paid by the Owner for materials shall go to reduce estimates due the Contractor as the

material is used in the Work.

Vouchers will be processed for payment by the Owner not later than the third Tuesday of

the following month, unless delayed by requirements for examination or auditing by other

authorities.

B. No Contract Bond. No Partial Payments

If the Contractor has not given the Owner a Contract Bond acceptable to Owner for the

completion any payment of the Work, no partial payments shall be made, but only one

final payment shall be made pursuant to, and on all conditions stated in Article 60 hereof.

61.01 CERTIFICATE OF PAYMENT

If the Contractor has made application as above, the Golf Course Architect shall, no later than the

date when each payment falls due, issue to the Contractor a certificate for such amount as he

determines to be properly due.

No certificate issued nor payment made to the Contractor, no partial, or entire, use, or occupancy

of the Work by the Owner, shall be acceptance of the Work or materials not in accordance with

this Contract.

62.01 PAYMENTS WITHHELD

The Owner may withhold, In addition to a retained percentage, for payment to the contractor such

an amount or amounts as may be necessary to cover:

a.) Defective Work not remedied.

b.) Claims for labor or materials furnished the Contractor or subcontractor, or reasonable

evidence indicating probable filing of such claims.

c.) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to subcontractors or for

materials or labor.

d.) A reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed for the balance then unpaid.

e.) Evidence of damage alleged to be caused by the Contractor to other persons or

property in connection with the Work under the Contract for which claim has been or

will be asserted against the Contractor, the Owner or the Golf Course Architect.

53

The Owner may disburse and shall have the right to act as agent for the Contractor in disbursing

such funds as have been withheld pursuant to this paragraph to the party or parties who are

entitled to payment there from, but the Owner assumes no obligation to make such disbursement.

from the City for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor. The Contractor shall pay

interest of 1½ percent per month or any part of a month to the subcontractor on any undisputed

amount not paid on time to the subcontractor. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment for

an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the

Contractor shall pay the actual penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who prevails in

a civil action to collect interest penalties from a Contractor must be awarded its costs and

disbursements, including attorney’s fees, incurred in bringing the action.

64.01 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION/PRELIMINARY ACCEPTANCE

Upon receipt of written notice from the Contractor that the work is substantially complete and

ready for review and acceptance, the Golf Course Architect shall promptly review the work. When

he finds the work is acceptable under the Contract he shall notify the Contractor to proceed with

Maturation/Maintenance as outlined in the Special Provisions. If such Work is not acceptable to

the Golf Course Architect at the time of this review, he will advise the Contractor in writing as to

the particular defects to be remedied before such Work can be approved for final acceptance and

final payment. This is essentially a “punch list” process.

65.01 FINAL COMPLETION/FINAL ACCEPTANCE

Upon receipt of written notice from the Contractor that the work is complete and ready for final

review and acceptance, the Owner or Golf Course Architect shall promptly review the work, and

when he finds the work acceptable under the Contract and the Contract fully performed he shall

promptly issue a final certificate, with his own signature, recommending any final conditions or

defects to the Owner and the Contractor, stating that the work provided for in this Contract has

been completed and is accepted by him under the terms and conditions thereof and that the

entire balance found to be due the Contractor, and noted in said final certificate, is due and

payable.

If, within a period of ten (10) days after such notification, the Contractor has not taken steps to

speedily correct any defects in the Work as directed, the Golf Course Architect may, without

further notice and without in any way impairing the Contract, make other arrangements as he may

deem necessary to have such Work completed in a satisfactory manner. The cost of so

completing such Work shall be deducted from any monies due, or which may become due the

Contractor on his Contract

relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for faulty material or workmanship, and unless

otherwise specified he shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for any damage to other

work resulting there from which shall appear within a period of one from the date of the final

inspection acceptance report. The Owner shall give notice of observe defects with reasonable

promptness. All questions arising under this Article shall be decided by the Golf Architect.

68.01 NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS

The Owner, or its Golf Course Architect, shall not be precluded or stopped by any measurement,

estimate or certificate, made or given by them, or by any of their agents or employees, under any

provision or provisions, of the Contract, any time either before or after the completion and

acceptance of the Work and payment thereof pursuant to any measurements, estimate or

certificate, from showing the true and correct amount and character of the work performed and

materials furnished by the Contractor or from showing at any time, that any such measurements,

estimate or certificate is untrue or incorrectly made in any particular or to the Specifications and

Contract, and the Owner shall have the right to reject the whole or any part of the aforesaid work

or material, should the measurement , estimate , certificate or payment be found, or be known to

be inconsistent with the terms of the Contract, or otherwise improperly given, and the Owner shall

not be precluded or stopped notwithstanding any such measurement, estimate, certificate and

payment in accordance herewith, from demanding and recovering from the Contractor and his

Surety such damages as it may sustain by reasons of his failure to comply with the terms of the

Specifications and the Contract.

69.01 GUARANTEE
