Resolution awarding contract to Allied Blacktop Company for the 2007 crack repair and seal coat project for
$131,895 (improvement project no. 817)
Requested Action
Staff is recommending that Council pass a resolution approving a contract between the city of New Hope
and Allied Blacktop in the amount of $131,895 for the 2007 seal coat project.
Policy/Past Practice
To maximize the life of the pavement on our city streets, New Hope has traditionally practiced seal coating
of city streets. This is an activity that is critical to the city's current pavement management program. If
delayed, maintenance cost increases and may result in premature expenditures for pavement overlays or
reconstruction. Crack repair and seal coating is most effective in the early stages of the pavement's life.
Background
The city's street infrastructure management plan identifies and prioritizes street maintenance activities that
maximize the return on each dollar invested in maintenance. The management plan has identified areas to
be seal coated and/or crack filled this year. This year's proposed seal coat project would include the streets
east of Boone A venue between Bass Lake Road and Hosterman School, and the streets south of St. Raphael's
Church and east of Winnetka A venue. If the Prairie Ridge development were to proceed this season, 53rd
A venue and a portion of PelU1sylvania A venue would be removed from this year's seal coat project. The
proposed crack repair project would include the streets from Winnetka Avenue to TH 169, behveen Bass
Lake Road and 49th A venue which are not being seal coated. This year's proposed seal coat project also
includes two alternates. One alternate is the seal coating of the ice arena's parking lot, and the second
alternate is the seal coating of the city hall/Civic Park parking lot.

Background
The city's roadway management plan identifies and prioritizes street maintenance activities to provide the

after a thorough analysis of the street infrastructure. This year's crack repair and seal coat activities occurred
in the neighborhoods between Bass Lake Road and 49th Avenue North, west of Maryland Avenue North and
east of Highway 169 frontage road. In addition to the fore mentioned streets, City Hall and Ice Arena parking
lots were included in the 2007seal coat project.

Final Payment to Contractor
File # 000034-071950-0
Dear Guy:
Enclosed find the final pay request for the 2007 Crack Repair and Seal Coat project. All work has been
completed. The contractor, Allied Blacktop, has requested first and final payment for the project in the
amount of $132,800.00.
The base bid contract was for $98,000.00, plus $22,050.00 for the Ice Arena parking lot and $11,845.00
for the City Hall lot, for a total of $131,895.00. The total amount for the work completed is $132,800.00,
or $905.00 (0.7%) above the contract amount. The additional costs are due to an increase in material
being required than originally estimated.
We recommend approval of final payment to Allied Blacktop in the amount of $132,800.00. Release of the
funds should be contingent on receipt of the required IC-134 forms and completion and approval of the
punch list items for the project.
Sincerely,
BONESTROO

the rejection of all Bids in which that Bidder has an interest.

requirements and such Alternates, Bid Unit Prices, and other data as may be requested in the
Bid Form or prior to the Notice of Award.
19.05 In evaluating Bidders, Owner will consider the qualifications of Bidders and may consider
the qualifications and experience of subcontractors, suppliers, other individuals, or entities
proposed for those portions of the work for which the identity of subcontractors, suppliers,
other individuals, or entities must be submitted as provided in the Supplementary
Conditions.
19.06 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 to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. As a condition of its Bid, Bidder is required to waive any and all claims of
whatever nature against Owner, Engineer, and their employees and agents which arise out
of or relate to such investigations and statements made as a result thereof, except for
statements that can be shown by clear and convincing evidence to be intentionally false and
made with actual malice. This waiver is not intended to restrict Bidder's rights to challenge
a Contract award pursuant to law.
19.07 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.

A Reports and Drawings: The Supplementary
Conditions identify:
1. those reports of explorations and tests of
subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the Site that
Engineer has used in preparing the Contract Documents;
and
2. those drawings of physical conditions in or
relating to existing surface or subsurface structures at or
contiguous to the Site (except Underground Facilities)
that Engineer has used in preparing the Contract
Documents.
B. Limited Reliance by Contractor on Technical
Data Authorized: Contractor may rely upon the general
accuracy of the "technical data" contained in such reports
and drawings, but such reports and drawings are not
Contract Documents. Such "technical data" is identified
in the Supplementary Conditions. Except for such reliance
on such "technical data," Contractor may not rely upon or
make any claim against Owner or Engineer, or any of
their Related Entities with respect to:
1. the completeness of such reports and drawings
for Contractor's purposes, including, but not limited to,
any aspects of the means, methods, techniques,
sequences, and procedures of construction to be employed
by Contractor, and safety precautions and programs
incident thereto; or
2. other data, interpretations, opmlOns, and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
3. any Contractor interpretation of or conclusion
drawn from any "technical data" or any such other data,
interpretations, opinions, or information. '
4.03
Differing SubsUlface or Physical Conditions
A Notice: If Contractor believes that any subsur-
face or physical condition at or contiguous to the Site that
is uncovered or revealed either:
1. is of such a nature as to establish that any
"technical data" on which Contractor is entitled to rely as
provided in Paragraph 4.02 is materially inaccurate; or
2. is of such a nature as to require a change in the
Contract Documents; or
3. differs materially from that shown or indicated
in the Contract Documents; or
4. is of an unusual nature, and differs materially
from conditions ordinarily encountered and generally
recognized as inherent in work of the character provided
for in the Contract Documents;
then Contractor shall, promptly after becoming aware
thereof and before further disturbing the subsurface or
physical conditions or performing any Work in connec-
tion therewith (except in an emergency as required by
Paragraph 6.16.A), notify Owner and Engineer in writing
about such condition. Contractor shall not further disturb
such condition or perform any Work in connection
therewith (except as aforesaid) until receipt of written
order to do so.
B. Engineer's Review: After receipt of written
notice as required by Paragraph 4.03.A, Engineer will
promptly review the pertinent condition, determine the
necessity of Owner's obtaining additional exploration or
tests with respect thereto, and advise Owner in writing
(with a copy to Contractor) of Engineer's findings and
conclusions.
C. Possible Price and Times Adjustments
1. The Contract Price or the Contract Times, or
both, will be equitably adjusted to the extent that the
existence of such differing subsurface or physical
condition causes an increase or decrease in Contractor's
cost of, or time required for, performance of the Work;
subject, however, to the following:
a. such condition must meet anyone or more of
the categories described in Paragraph 4.03.A;
and
b. with respect to Work that is paid for on a Unit
Price Basis, any adjustment in Contract Price
will be subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
9.07 and 11.03.
2. Contractor shall not be entitled to any
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times if:
a. Contractor knew of the existence of such
conditions at the time Contractor made a final
commitment to Owner with respect to Contract
Price and Contract Times by the submission of a
Bid or becoming bound under a negotiated
contract; or
b. the existence of such condition could
reasonably have been discovered or revealed as a
result of any examination, investigation, explo-
ration, test, or study of the Site and contiguous
areas required by the Bidding Requirements or
Contract Documents to be conducted by or for
Contractor prior to Contractor's making such
final commitment; or

of their Related Entities shall not be liable to Contractor
for any claims, costs, losses, or damages (including but
not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys, and other professionals and all court or
arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) sustained by
Contractor on or in connection with any other project or
anticipated project.
4.04 Underground Facilities
A. Shown or Indicated: The information and data
shown or indicated in the Contract Documents with
respect to existing Underground Facilities at or

the extent, if any, to which a change is required in the
Contract Documents to reflect and document the
consequences of the existence or location of the Under-
ground Facility. During such time, Contractor shall be
responsible for the safety and protection of such
Underground Facility.
2. If Engineer concludes that a change in the
Contract Documents is required, a Work Change
Directive or a Change Order will be issued to reflect and
document such consequences. An equitable adjustment
shall be made in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or
both, to the extent that they are attributable to the
existence or location of any Underground Facility that
was not shown or indicated or not shown or indicated
with reasonable accuracy in the Contract Documents and
that Contractor did not know of and could not reasonably
have been expected to be aware of or to have anticipated.
If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree on
entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of any
such adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times,
Owner or Contractor may make a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05.
4.05 Reference Points

proposed substitute item.
6.05 Substitutes and "Or-Equals"
b. Contractor shall submit sufficient information
as provided below to allow Engineer to
determine that the item of material or equipment
proposed is essentially equivalent to that named
and an acceptable substitute therefor. Requests

A Whenever an item of material or equipment is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by
using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a
particular Supplier, the specification or description is
intended to establish the type, function, appearance, and
quality required. Unless the specification or description
contains or is followed by words reading that no like,
equivalent, or "or-equal" item or no substitution is
permitted, other items of material or equipment or
material or equipment of other Suppliers may be
submitted to Engineer for review under the circumstances
described below.
c. The requirements for review by Engineer will
be as set forth in Paragraph 6.05.A2.d, as
supplemented in the General Requirements and
as Engineer may decide is appropriate under the
circumstances.
1. "Or-Equal" Items: If in Engineer's sole
discretion an item of material or equipment proposed by
Contractor is functionally equal to that named and
sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will
be required, it may be considered by Engineer as an
"or-equal" item, in which case review and approval of the
proposed item may, in Engineer's sole discretion, be
accomplished without compliance with some or all of the
requirements for approval of proposed substitute items.
For the purposes of this Paragraph 6.05 .A.l, a proposed
item of material or equipment will be considered
functionally equal to an item so named if:
d. Contractor shall make written application to
Engineer for review of a proposed substitute item
of material or equipment that Contractor seeks to
furnish or use. The application:
1) shall certify that the proposed substi-
tute item will:
a) perform adequately the functions and
achieve the results called for by the
general design,
a. in the exercise of reasonable judgment
Engineer determines that:
b) be similar in substance to that
specified, and
1) it is at least equal in materials of
construction, quality, durability, appearance,
strength, and design characteristics;
c) be suited to the same use as that
specified;
2) will state:
2) it will reliably perform at least
equally well the function and achieve the results
imposed by the design concept of the completed
Project as a functioning whole,
a) the extent, if any, to which the use of
the proposed substitute item will preju-
dice Contractor's achievement of
Substantial Completion on time;
3) it has a proven record of performance
and availability of responsive service; and
b) whether or not use of the proposed
substitute item in the Work will require
a change in any of the Contract Docu-
ments (or in the provisions of any other
direct contract with Owner for other
work on the Project) to adapt the design
to the proposed substitute item; and
b. Contractor certifies that, if approved and
incorporated into the Work:
1) there will be no increase in cost to
the Owner or increase in Contract Times, and
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction
Copyright @ 2002 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC. All rights reserved.
c) whether or not incorporation or use
of the proposed substitute item in con-
nection with the Work is subject to
payment of any license fee or royalty;
3) will identify:
a) all variations of the proposed
substitute item from that specified, and
b) available engineering, sales,
maintenance, repair, and replacement
services;
4) and shall contain an itemized esti-
mate of all costs or credits that will result
directly or indirectly from use of such substitute
item, including costs of redesign and claims of
other contractors affected by any resulting
change,
B. Substitute Construction Methods or Proce-
dures: If a specific means, method, technique, sequence,
or procedure of construction is expressly required by the
Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish or utilize a
substitute means, method, technique, sequence, or
procedure of construction approved by Engineer.
Contractor shall submit sufficient information to allow
Engineer, in Engineer's sole discretion, to determine that
the substitute proposed is equivalent to that expressly
called for by the Contract Documents. The requirements
for review by Engineer will be similar to those provided
in Paragraph 6.05.A.2.
C. Engineer's Evaluation: Engineer will be
allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each
proposal or submittal made pursuant to Paragraphs 6.05.A
and 6.05.B. Engineer may require Contractor to furnish
additional data about the proposed substitute item.
Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No "or
equal" or substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized
until Engineer's review is complete, which will be
evidenced by either a Change Order for a substitute or an
approved Shop Drawing for an "or equal." Engineer will
advise Contractor in writing of any negative
determination.
D. Special Guarantee: Owner may require
Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a special
performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any
substitute.
Documents (or in the proVISIOns of any other direct
contract with Owner) resulting from the acceptance of

Supplier, or other individual or entity to furnish or
perform any of the Work against whom Contractor has
reasonable objection.

identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other
individuals or entities to be submitted to Owner in
advance for acceptance by Owner by a specified date
prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement, and if
Contractor has submitted a list thereof in accordance with
the Supplementary Conditions, Owner's acceptance
(either in writing or by failing to make written objection
thereto by the date indicated for acceptance or objection
in the Bidding Documents or the Contract Documents) of
any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or
entity so identified may be revoked on the basis of reason-
able objection after due investigation. Contractor shall
submit an acceptable replacement for the rejected
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, and
the Contract Price will be adjusted by the difference in the
cost occasioned by such replacement, and an appropriate
Change Order will be issued. No acceptance by Owner of
any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or
entity, whether initially or as a replacement, shall consti-
tute a waiver of any right of Owner or Engineer to reject
defective Work.
C. Contractor shall be fully responsible to Owner
and Engineer for all acts and omissions of the
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or
entities performing or furnishing any of the Work just as
Contractor is responsible for Contractor's own acts and
omissions. Nothing in the Contract Documents:
1. shall create for the benefit of any such
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity any
contractual relationship between Owner or Engineer and
any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other individual or
entity, nor
E. Engineer's Cost Reimbursement: Engineer

forming or furnishing any of the Work to communicate
with Engineer through Contractor.
F. The divisions and sections of the Specifica-
tions and the identifications of any Drawings shall not
control Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcon-
tractors or Suppliers or delineating the Work to be
performed by any specific trade.
G. All Work performed for Contractor by a
Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an appro-
priate agreement between Contractor and the
Subcontractor or Supplier which specifically binds the

conform generally to the Contract Documents. On the
basis of such visits and observations, Engineer will keep
Owner informed of the progress of the Work and will
endeavor to guard Owner against defective Work.
B. Engineer's visits and observations are subject
to all the limitations on Engineer's authority and
responsibility set forth in Paragraph 9.09. Particularly, but

results in a net decrease in cost will be the
amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a
deduction in Contractor's fee by an amount equal

pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but
not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys, and other professionals and all court or
arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of
or relating to such correction or removal (including but
not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of
others).
B. When correcting defecti ve Work under the
terms of this Paragraph 13.06 or Paragraph 13.07,
Contractor shall take no action that would void or
otherwise impair Owner's special warranty and guarantee,
if any, on said Work.
13.07 Correction Period
A. If within one year after the date of Substantial
Completion (or such longer period of time as may be
prescribed by the terms of any applicable special
guarantee required by the Contract Documents) or by any
specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work
is found to be defective, or if the repair of any damages to
the land or areas made available for Contractor's use by
Owner or permitted by Laws and Regulations as
contemplated in Paragraph 6.11.A is found to be
defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to
Owner and in accordance with Owner's written
instructions:
I. repair such defective land or areas; or
2. correct such defective Work; or
3. if the defective Work has been rejected by
Owner, remove it from the Project and replace it with
Work that is not defective, and
4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and
replace any damage to other Work, to the work of others
or other land or areas resulting therefrom.

B. If Contractor does not promptly comply with
the terms of Owner's written instructions, or in an
emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss
or damage, Owner may have the defective Work
corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work re-
moved and replaced. All claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges
of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals
and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution
costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or repair
or such removal and replacement (including but not
limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of
others) will be paid by Contractor.
C. In special circumstances where a particular
item of equipment is placed in continuous service before
Substantial Completion of all the Work, the correction
period for that item may start to run from an earlier date if
so provided in the Specifications.
D. Where defective Work (and damage to other
Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or removed
and replaced under this Paragraph 13.07, the correction
period hereunder with respect to such Work will be
extended for an additional period of one year after such
correction or removal and replacement has been
satisfactorily completed.
E. Contractor's obligations under this Paragraph
13.07 are in addition to any other obligation or warranty.
The provisions of this Paragraph 13.07 shall not be
construed as a substitute for or a waiver of the provisions
of any applicable statute of limitation or repose.
13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal
and replacement of defective Work, Owner (and, prior to
Engineer's recommendation of final payment, Engineer)
prefers to accept it, Owner may do so. Contractor shall
pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but
not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys, and other professionals and all court or
arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to
Owner's evaluation of and determination to accept such
defective Work (such costs to be approved by Engineer as
to reasonableness) and the diminished value of the Work
to the extent not otherwise paid by Contractor pursuant to
this sentence. If any such acceptance occurs prior to
Engineer's recommendation of final payment, a Change
Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions
in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and
Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the
Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value of Work
so accepted. If the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount thereof, Owner may make a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05. If the acceptance occurs
after such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be
paid by Contractor to Owner.
13.09 OwnerlVlay Correct Defective Work
A. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time
after written notice from Engineer to correct defective
Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required
by Engineer in accordance with Paragraph 13.06.A, or if
Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with
the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply
with any other provision of the Contract Documents,
Owner may, after seven days written notice to Contractor,
correct or remedy any such deficiency.
B. In exercising the rights and remedies under
this Paragraph 13.09, Owner shall proceed expeditiously.
In connection with such corrective or remedial action,
Owner may exclude Contractor from all or part of the
Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and
suspend Contractor's services related thereto, take posses-
sion of Contractor's tools, appliances, construction
equipment and machinery at the Site, and incorporate in
the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or
for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored
elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner's
representatives, agents and employees, Owner's other
contractors, and Engineer and Engineer's consultants
access to the Site to enable Owner to exercise the rights
and remedies under this Paragraph.
C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals
and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution
costs) incurred or sustained by Owner in exercising the
rights and remedies under this Paragraph 13.09 will be
charged against Contractor, and a Change Order will be
issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and Owner
shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract
Price. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of
the adjustment, Owner may make a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05. Such claims, costs, losses
and damages will include but not be limited to all costs of
repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or
damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of
Contractor's defective Work.
D. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension
of the Contract Times because of any delay in the
performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by
Owner of Owner's rights and remedies under this
Paragraph 13.09.
ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR A.L~D
COMPLETION
14.01 Schedule of Values
A. The Schedule of Values established as provid-
ed in Paragraph 2.07.A will serve as the basis for progress
EJCDC C- 700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.
Copyright @ 2002 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC. All rights reserved.
payments and will be incorporated into a form of Applica-
tion for Payment acceptable to Engineer. Progress
payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on
the number of units completed.
14.02 Progress Payments
A. Applications for Payments
1. At least 20 days before the date established in
the Agreement for each progress payment (but not more
often than once a month), Contractor shall submit to
Engineer for review an Application for Payment filled out
and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as
of the date of the Application and accompanied by such
supporting documentation as is required by the Contract
Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of
materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but
delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another
location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment
shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or
other documentation warranting that Owner has received
the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens
and evidence that the materials and equipment are
covered by appropriate property insurance or other
arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein, all of
which must be satisfactory to Owner.
2. Beginning with the second Application for
Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit of
Contractor stating that all previous progress payments
received on account of the Work have been applied on
account to discharge Contractor's legitimate obligations
associated with prior Applications for Payment.
3. The amount of retainage with respect to
progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.
B. Review of Applications
1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of
each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a
recommendation of payment and present the Application
to Owner or return the Application to Contractor
indicating in writing Engineer's reasons for refusing to
recommend payment. In the latter case, Contractor may
make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application.
2. Engineer's recommendation of any payment
requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a
representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer's
observations on the Site of the executed Work as an
experienced and qualified design professional and on
Engineer's review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of
Engineer's knowledge, information and belief:
b. the quality of the Work is generally in accor-
dance with the Contract Documents (subject to
an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole
prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the
results of any subsequent tests called for in the
Contract Documents, to a final determination of
quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work
under Paragraph 9.07, and to any other
qualifications stated in the recommendation); and
c. the conditions precedent to Contractor's being
entitled to such payment appear to have been
fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's
responsibility to observe the Work.
3. By recommending any such payment Engineer
will not thereby be deemed to have represented that:
a. inspections made to check the quality or the
quantity of the Work as it has been performed
have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect
of the Work in progress, or involved detailed
inspections of the Work beyond the responsi-
bilities specifically assigned to Engineer in the
Contract Documents; or
b. that there may not be other matters or issues
between the parties that might entitle Contractor
to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle
Owner to withhold payment to Contractor.
4. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's
Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor
Engineer's recommendation of any payment, including
final payment, will impose responsibility on Engineer:
a. to supervise, direct, or control the Work, or
b. for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures of construction, or the
safety precautions and programs incident thereto,
or
c. for Contractor's failure to comply with Laws
and Regulations applicable to Contractor's
performance of the Work, or
d. to make any examination to ascertain how or
for what purposes Contractor has used the
moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or
e. to determine that title to any of the Work,
materials, or equipment has passed to Owner free
and clear of any Liens.
5. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole
or any part of any payment if, in Engineer's opinion, it
would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner
stated in Paragraph 14.02.B.2. Engineer may also refuse
to recommend any such payment or, because of subse-
discovered evidence or the results of subsequent
EJCDC C.700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.
Copyright @ 2002 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC. All rights reserved.
a. the Work has progressed to the point indicat-
ed;
inspections or tests, revise or revoke any such payment
recommendation previously made, to such extent as may
be necessary in Engineer's opinion to protect Owner from
loss because:
a. the Work is defective, or completed Work has
been damaged, requiring correction or replace-
ment;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by
Change Orders;
c. Owner has been required to correct defective
Work or complete Work in accordance with
Paragraph 13.09; or
d. Engineer has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
Paragraph 15.02.A.
C. Payment Becomes Due
1. Ten days after presentation of the Application
for Payment to Owner with Engineer's recommendation,
the amount recommended will (subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 14.02.0) become due, and when due will be
paid by Owner to Contractor.
D. Reduction in Payment
1. Owner may refuse to make payment of the full
amount recommended by Engineer because:
a. claims have been made against Owner on
account of Contractor's performance or furnish-
ing of the Work;
b. Liens have been filed in connection with the
Work, except where Contractor has delivered a
specific bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the
satisfaction and discharge of such Liens;
c. there are other items entitling Owner to a
set-off against the amount recommended; or
d. Owner has actual knowledge of the occurrence
of any of the events enumerated in Paragraphs
14.02.B.5.a through 14.02.B.5.c or Paragraph
15.02.A.
2. If Owner refuses to make payment of the full
amount recommended by Engineer, Owner will give
Contractor immediate written notice (with a copy to
Engineer) stating the reasons for such action and promptly
pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of
the amount so withheld. Owner shall promptly pay
Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment
thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, when
Contractor corrects to Owner's satisfaction the reasons for
such action.
3. If it is subsequently determined that Owner's
refusal of payment was not justified, the amount
wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an amount due as
determined by Paragraph 14.02.C.1.
14.03 Contractor's Warranty of Title
A. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title
to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any
Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the
Project or not, will pass to Owner no later than the time of
payment free and clear of all Liens.
14.04 Substantial Completion
A. When Contractor considers the entire Work
ready for its intended use Contractor shall notify Owner
and Engineer in writing that the entire Work is
substantially complete (except for items specifically listed
by Contractor as incomplete) and request that Engineer
issue a certificate of Substantial Completion.
B. Promptly after Contractor's notification, ,
Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an
inspection of the Work to determine the status of
completion. If Engineer does not consider the Work
substantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in
writing giving the reasons therefor.
C. If Engineer considers the Work substantially
complete, Engineer will deliver to Owner a tentative
certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the
date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to
the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. Owner shall have seven
days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which
to make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions
of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such
objections, Engineer concludes that the Work is not
substantially complete, Engineer will within 14 days after
submission of the tentative certificate to Owner notify
Contractor in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If, after
consideration of Owner's objections, Engineer considers
the Work substantially complete, Engineer will within
said 14 days execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor
a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a
revised tentative list of items to be completed or correct-
ed) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate
as Engineer believes justified after consideration of any
objections from Owner.
D. At the time of delivery of the tentative
certificate of Substantial Completion, Engineer will
deliver to Owner and Contractor a written recommen-
dation as to division of responsibilities pending final
payment between Owner and Contractor with respect to
security, operation, safety, and protection of the Work,
maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, and warranties and
guarantees. Unless Owner and Contractor agree otherwise
in writing and so inform Engineer in writing prior to
Engineer's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial
EJCDC C- 700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

Completion, Engineer's aforesaid recommendation will
be binding on Owner and Contractor until final payment.
E. Owner shall have the right to exclude
Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial
Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable
access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
14.05 Partial Utilization
A. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the
Work, Owner may use or occupy any substantially
completed part of the Work which has specifically been
identified in the Contract Documents, or which Owner,
Engineer, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately
functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used
by Owner for its intended purpose without significant
interference with Contractor's performance of the
remainder of the Work, subject to the following condi-
tions.
1. Owner at any time may request Contractor in
writing to permit Owner to use or occupy any such part of
the Work which Owner believes to be ready for its
intended use and substantially complete. If and when
Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is
substantially complete, Contractor will certify to Owner
and Engineer that such part of the Work is substantially
complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
2. Contractor at any time may notify Owner and
Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such
part of the Work ready for its intended use and substan-
tially complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate
of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
3. Within a reasonable time after either such
request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an
inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status
of completion. If Engineer does not consider that part of
the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer will
notify Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons
therefor. If Engineer considers that part of the Work to be
substantially complete, the provisions of Paragraph 14.04
will apply with respect to certification of Substantial
Completion of that part of the Work and the division of
responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
4. No use or occupancy or separate operation of
part of the Work may occur prior to compliance with the
requirements of Paragraph 5.10 regarding property
Illsurance.
14.06 Final Inspection
that the Work is incomplete or defective. Contractor shall
immediately take such measures as are necessary to
complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.
14.07 Final Payment
A. Application for Payment
1. After Contractor has, in the opinion of
Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections
identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in
accordance with the Contract Documents, all maintenance
and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds,
certificates or other evidence of insurance certificates of
inspection, marked-up record documents (as provided in
Paragraph 6.12), and other documents, Contractor may
make application for final payment following the
procedure for progress payments.
2. The final Application for Payment shall be
accompanied (except as previously delivered) by:
a. all documentation called for in the Contract
Documents, including but not limited to the
evidence of insurance required by Paragraph
5.04.B.7;
b. consent of the surety, if any, to final payment;
c. a list of all Claims against Owner that
Contractor believes are unsettled; and
d. complete and legally effective releases or
waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Lien rights
arising out of or Liens filed in connection with
the Work.
3. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens
specified in Paragraph 14.07.A.2 and as approved by
Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or releases in full
and an affidavit of Contractor that: (i) the releases and
receipts include all labor, services, material, and
equipment for which a Lien could be filed; and (ii) all
payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which Owner
or Owner's property might in any way be responsible have
been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or
Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full,
Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral
satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against any
Lien.
B. Engineer's Review of Application and
Acceptance
1. If, on the basis of Engineer's observation of
A. Upon written notice from Contractor that the the Work during construction and final inspection, and
entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, Engineer's review of the final Application for Payment
Engineer will promptly make a final inspection with and accompanying documentation as required by the
Owner and Contractor and will notify Contractor in Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work
writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals has been and Contractor's other obligations
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

00700 - 38
under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled,
Engineer will, within ten days after receipt of the final
Application for Payment, indicate in writing Engineer's
recommendation of payment and present the Application
for Payment to Owner for payment. At the same time
Engineer will also give written notice to Owner and
Contractor that the Work is acceptable subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 14.09. Otherwise, Engineer will
return the Application for Payment to Contractor, indicat-
ing in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final
payment, in which case Contractor shall make the
necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for
Payment.
C. Payment Becomes Due
1. Thirty days after the presentation to Owner of
the Application for Payment and accompanying docu-
mentation, the amount recommended by Engineer, less
any sum Owner is entitled to set off against Engineer's
recommendation, including but not limited to liquidated
damages, will become due and, will be paid by Owner to
Contractor.
14.08 Final Completion Delayed
A. If, through no fault of Contractor, final
completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and if
Engineer so confirms, Owner shall, upon receipt of
Contractor's final Application for Payment (for Work
fully completed and accepted) and recommendation of
Engineer, and without terminating the Contract, make
payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work
fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to
be held by Owner for Work not fully completed or
corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the
Agreement, and if bonds have been furnished as required
in Paragraph 5.01, the written consent of the surety to the
payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work
fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by
Contractor to Engineer with the Application for such
payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms
and conditions governing final payment, except that it
shall not constitute a waiver of Claims.
14.09 Waiver of Claims
A. The making and acceptance of final payment
will constitute:
1. a waiver of all Claims by Owner against
Contractor, except Claims arising from unsettled Liens,
from defective Work appearing after final inspection
pursuant to Paragraph 14.06, from failure to comply with
the Contract Documents or the terms of any special
guarantees specified therein, or from Contractor's
continuing obligations under the Contract Documents;
and
with the requirements herein and expressly acknowledged
by Owner in writing as still unsettled.
ARTICLE 15 - SUSPENSION OF WORK A.L~D
TERNImATION
15.01 Owner May Suspend Work
A. At any time and without cause, Owner may
suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of
not more than 90 consecutive days by notice in writing to
Contractor and Engineer which will fix the date on which
Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work
on the date so fixed. Contractor shall be granted an adjust-
ment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract
Times, or both, directly attributable to any such
suspension if Contractor makes a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05.
15.02 Owner May Terminatefor Cause
A. The occurrence of anyone or more of the
following events will justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents
(including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient
skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or
failure to adhere to the Progress Schedule established
under Paragraph 2.07 as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to Paragraph 6.04);
2. Contractor's disregard of Laws or Regulations
of any public body having jurisdiction;
3. Contractor's disregard of the authority of
Engineer; or
4. Contractor's violation in any substantial way
of any provisions of the Contract Documents.
B. If one or more of the events identified in
Paragraph 15.02.A occur, Owner may, after giving
Contractor (and surety) seven days written notice of its
intent to terminate the services of Contractor:
1. exclude Contractor from the Site, and take
possession of the Work and of all Contractor's tools,
appliances, construction equipment, and machinery at the
Site, and use the same to the full extent they could be
used by Contractor (without liability to Contractor for
trespass or conversion),
2. incorporate in the Work all materials and
equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner has paid
Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and
2. a waiver of all Claims by Contractor against
Owner other than those previously made in accordance
EJCDC C- 700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.
Copyright @ 2002 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC. All rights reserved.
3. complete the Work as Owner may deem
expedient.
C. If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph
15.02.B, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is completed. If the
unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims,
costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and
other professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) sustained by Owner arising out
of or relating to completing the Work, such excess will be
paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs, losses, and
damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall
pay the difference to Owner. Such claims, costs, losses,
and damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed by
Engineer as to their reasonableness and, when so
approved by Engineer, incorporated in a Change Order.
When exercising any rights or remedies under this
Paragraph Owner shall not be required to obtain the
lowest price for the Work performed.
D. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 15.02.B and
15.02.C, Contractor's services will not be terminated if
Contractor begins within seven days of receipt of notice
of intent to terminate to correct its failure to perform and
proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more
than 30 days of receipt of said notice.
E. Where Contractor's services have been so
terminated by Owner, the termination will not affect any
rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor then
existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or
payment of moneys due Contractor by Owner will not
release Contractor from liability.
F. If and to the extent that Contractor has
provided a performance bond under the provisions of
Paragraph 5.01.A, the termination procedures of that bond
shall supersede the provisions of Paragraphs 15.02.B, and
15.02.C.
15.03 Owner II.Jay Terminate For Convenience
A. Upon seven days written notice to Contractor
and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner,
terminate the Contract. In such case, Contractor shall be
paid for (without duplication of any items):
1. completed and acceptable Work executed in
accordance with the Contract Documents prior to the
effective date of termination, including fair and
reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such Work;
2. expenses sustained prior to the effective date
of termination in performing services and furnishing
labor, materials, or equipment as required by the Contract
Documents in connection with uncompleted Work, plus
fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such
expenses;
3. all claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals
and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution
costs) incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and others; and
4. reasonable expenses directly attributable to
termination.
B. Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss
of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss
arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.04 Contractor May Stop Work or Tenninate
A. If, through no act or fault of Contractor, (i)
the Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive days
by Owner or under an order of court or other public
authority, or (ii) Engineer fails to act on any Application
for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or (iii)
Owner fails for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally
determined to be due, then Contractor may, upon seven
days written notice to Owner and Engineer, and provided
Owner or Engineer do not remedy such suspension or
failure within that time, terminate the Contract and
recover from Owner payment on the same terms as
provided in Paragraph 15.03.
B. In lieu of terminating the Contract and
without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if
Engineer has failed to act on an Application for Payment
within 30 days after it is submitted, or Owner has failed
for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined
to be due, Contractor may, seven days after written notice
to Owner and Engineer, stop the Work until payment is
made of all such amounts due Contractor, including
interest thereon. The provisions of this Paragraph 15.04
are not intended to preclude Contractor from making a
Claim under Paragraph 10.05 for an adjustment in
Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise for
expenses or damage directly attributable to Contractor's
stopping the Work as permitted by this Paragraph.
