$25,000)

omission of any bidder to examine any form, instrument or
document shall in no way relieve any bidder from -any

rials and workmanship of the best quality and grade will be
furnished. The fact that the specifications may fail to be
sufficiently complete in some detail will not relieve the
Contractor of ,full responsibility for providing materials of
high quality and for protecting them adequately until
incorporated into the project. The presence or absence of a

relieve the Contractor of full responsibility for complying
with this provision. The specifications for materials and

standards of quality which the Owner believes necessary to
procure a satisfactory project.

paid, partially paid or not paid for such work, until the
date the City issues its certificate of completion to the

to exercise due care to locate and prevent damage to all
underground pipelines, utility lines, conduits or other
underground structures which might or could be damaged by
Contractor during the construction of the project contem-
plated by these Contract Documents. The City of Lubbock
agrees that it will furnish Contractor with information as
to the location of all such underground lines and utilities
of which it has knowledge. However, such fact shall not
relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities aforemen-
tioned. All such underground lines or structures cut or
damaged by Contractor during the prosecution of the work
contemplated by this Contract shall be repaired immediately
by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the City of
Lubbock, Texas, at Contractor's expense.

sible local representative available at all times while the

Supplement to the
General Conditions of the
Cc.ntract for Construction
Article 1 -- Labor Standards
Applicability
The Project or Program to which the construction work covered
by this contract pertains is being assisted by the United States
of America and the following Federal Labor Standards Provisions
are included in this Contract or related instrument pursuant to
We provisions applicable to such Federal assistance.
A. 1. (1) Minimum Wages. All laborers and mechanics employed
or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States
Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the
construction or development of the project), will be paid uncon-
ditionally and not less often than once a week, and without
subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such
payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the
Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the
full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash
equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates
not less than those contained in the wage determination of the
Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part
hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be
alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and
mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated
for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -
Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered
wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provi-
sions of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular contributions made or
costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often
than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which cover the
particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made
or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate
wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill,
except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or
mechanics performing work in more than one classification may
be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for
the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's
payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each
classification in which work is performed. The wage determina-
tion (including any additional classification and wage rates con-
formed under 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(1)(ii) and the Davis -Bacon poster
(WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its
subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and ac-
cessible place where It can be easily seen by the workers.
(IIXa) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not
listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed
under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the
wage determination. HUD shall approve an additional classifica-
tion and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the
following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification
requested is not performed by a classification in the wage deter.
mination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the
construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide
fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates
contained in the wage determination.
(b) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to
be employed in the classification (if known), or their represen-
tatives, and HUD or its designee agree on the classification and
wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits
where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by
HUD or its designee to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Administrator, or an
authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove
every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt

and Urban Development

and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or its
designee within the 30-day period that additional time is
necesssary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under OMB Control Number 1215.0140.)
(c) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics
to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and
HUD or its designee do not agree on the proposed classification
and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits,
where appropriate), HUD or its designee shall refer the questions,
including the views of all interested parties and the recommenda-
tion of HUD or its designee, to the Administrator for determination.
The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a
determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise HUD or its
designee or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30-day period
that additional time is necessary. (Approved- by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 1215.0140.)
(d) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where ap-
propriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs A.1.(ii)(b) or (c) of
this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the
classification under this contract from the first day on which work
is performed in the classification.
(111) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the con.
tract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit
which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either
pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay
another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent
thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or
other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the
wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under
a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found,
upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable stan-
dards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of
Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account
assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
(Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB
Control Number 1215.0140.)
2. Withholding. HUD or its designee shall upon its own action
or upon written request of an authorized representative of the
Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the
contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with
the same prime contractor, or any other Federally -assisted contract
subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held
by the same prime contractor so much of the accrued payments or
advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and
mechanics, including apprentices, trainees and helpers, employed
by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages re-
quired by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or
mechanic, inlcuding any apprentice, trainee or helper, employed or
working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housfn(
Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction of
development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the
contract, HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the con-
tractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be
necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, ad.
vance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the contractor,
disburse such amounts withheld for and on account of the contrac.
for or subcontractor to the respective employees to whom they are
due. The Comptroller General shall make such disbursements in thi
case of direct Davis -Bacon Act contracts.
3. (1) Payrolls and basic records. Payrolls and basic records
relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the
course of the work and preserved for a period of three years
thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the
work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the

location wherever work is in preparation or progress. Contractor
shall ascertain the scope of any observations and tests which may
be contemplated by Owner's Representative or Architect and shall
give ample notice as to the time each part of the work will be
ready for such observations and tests. Owner's Representative or
.-
0-
r.
Architect may reject any work found to be defective or not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, regardless of the stage
of its completion or the time or place of discovery of such
errors, and regardless of whether either Owner's Representative
or Architect has previously accepted the work through oversight
or otherwise. If any work which is required to be inspected,
tested or _approved, is covered up without written approval or
consent of the Owner's Representative or Architect, it must, if
requested by the Owner's Representative or Architect, be un-
covered for observation and testing at the Contractor's expense.
In the event that any part of the work is being fabricated or
manufactured at a location where it is not convenient for Owner's
Representative or Architect to make observations of such work or
require testing of said work, then in such event, Owner's Repre-
sentative or Architect may require Contractor to furnish Owner's
Representative or Architect certificates of inspection, testing
or approval made by`persons competent to perform such tasks at
the location where that part of the work is being manufactured or
fabricated. All such tests will be in accordance with the
methods prescribed by the American Society for Testing and
Materials or such other applicable organization as maybe required
by law or the Contract Documents.
If any work which is required to be inspected, tested or
approved, is covered up without written approval or consent of
the Owner's Reprsentative or Architect, it must, if requested by
the Owner's Representative or Architect, be uncovered for
observation and testing at the Contractor's expense. The cost of
P, all such inspections, tests and approvals shall be borne by the
Contractor unless otherwise provided herein.. Any work which
fails to meet the requirements of any such tests, inspections or
approval, and any work which meets the requirements of any such
tests or approval but does not meet the requirements of the
Contract Documents shall be considered defective. Such defective
work shall be corrected at the Contractor's expense.

23. DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES
It is agreed that if the work or any part thereof or
any material brought on the site of the work for use in the work
or selected for the same, shall be deemed by the Owner's Repre-
sentative or Architect as unsuitable or not in conformity with
plans, specifications and Contract Documents, the Contractor
shall, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Owner's
Representative or Architect, forthwith remove such material and
rebuild or otherwise remedy such work so that it shall be in full
accordance with this Contract. It is further agreed that any
remedial action contemplated as hereinabove set forth shall be at _
the Contractor's expense.
The Contractor shall promptly correct any work rejected by _
the Owner's Representative or Architect as defective or as
failing to conform to the Contract Documents, whether observed
before or after substantial completion and whether or not
fabricated, installed or completed, and shall correct any work
found to be defective or nonconforming within a period of one
year from the date of substantial completion of the Contract, or
within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or
by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the
Contract Documents. The provisions of this Section apply to work
done by subcontractors as well as to work done by direct em-
ployees of the Contractor. The Contractor shall, bear all costs
of correcting such,rejected work, including compensation for the
Architect's additional services made necessary thereby.
If the Contractor fails to correct defective work as
required, or persistently fails to carry out the work in accor
dance with the Contract Documents, the Owner's Representative, by
a written order signed personally or by an agent specifically so
empowered by the Owner in writing, may order the Contractor to
stop the work', or any portion thereof, until the cause for such
order has been eliminated; however, this right of the Owner to
stop the work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of the
Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or
any other person or entity.
If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the work
in accordance with the Contract Documents, and fails within seven
days after receipt of written notice from the Owner's Representa-
tive or other agent to commence and continue correction of such
default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may,
after seven days following receipt by the Contractor of an
additional written notice, and without prejudice to any other
remedy he may have, make good such deficiencies. In such case,
an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from the
payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the cost of
correcting such deficiencies, including compensation for the
Architect's additional services made necessary by such default,
neglect or failure. If the payments then or thereafter due the
Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, the Contrac-
tor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
If, within one year after the date of substantial completion
of the work or designated portion thereof, or within one year
after acceptance by the Owner of designated equipment, or within
such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the
terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract
Documents, any of the work is found to be defective or not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall
correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the
- 10 -
Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Con-
tractor a written acceptance of such condition. This obligation
shall survive termination of the Contract. The Owner shall give
such notice promptly after discovery of the defect.
^" 24. CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS
The Contractor further agrees that the Owner may make such
7 changes and alterations as the Owner may see fit, in the line,
grade, form, dimensions, plans or materials for the work herein
contemplated, or any part thereof, either before or after the
beginning of the construction, without affecting the validity of
this Contract and the accompanying bond.
If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the
work to be done, they shall not constitute the basis for a claim
for damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be
dispensed with. If they increase the amount of work, and the
increased work can fairly be classified under the specifications,
such increase shall be paid according to the quantity actually
done and at the unit price established for such work under this
Contract; otherwise, such additional work shall be paid for as
provided under extra work. In case the Owner shall make such
changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already
done or material already furnished or used in said work, then the
Owner shall recompense the Contractor for any material or labor
so used and for any actual loss occasioned by such change due
to actual expenses incurred in preparation for the work as -
originally planned.
25. EXTRA WORK
The term "extra work" as used in this Contract shall be
understood to mean and include all work that may be required by
the Owner or Owner's Representative to be done by the Contractor
to accomplish any change, alteration or addition to the work as
shown on the plans and specifications or Contract Documents and
not covered by the Contractor's proposal, except as provided
_. under changes and alterations herein.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all extra
work under the direction of the Architect when presented with
itten work order si ned by the Owner's Re, sentative, subject,
however, o e right of the Contractor to require written
confirmation of such extra work order by the Owner. It is also
agreed that the compensation to be paid to the Contractor for
performing said extra work shall be determined by one or more of
the following methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices• or
Method ( B ) - By agreed lump sum',-__ or
Method (C) - If neither Method (A) or Method (B) be agreed
upon before the extra work is commenced, then
the Contractor shall be paid the actual field
cost of the work, plus fifteen (15%) percent.
In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under _
Method (C), then the provisions of this paragraph shall apply and
the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of
all workmen, such remen, -keepers, mecha-mica and abo -�
"r , and materials,,s pplies, teams, ru k.i, ,ren-tars on machinery
and equipment, for the ime actually employed or'used on such
extra work, us a,.c ual transportation charges necessarily+
in� cc�rred, together with allexpenses incurred dprectly on account
of such extra work, 'ncludin _ Soci,p4 Security, O1 A. a Bene,�,it,s,
-- . »..
Maintenance Bonds, Public Liabili'y and Property Damage and
Workmen s Compensation -and—a`I1 other insurances as may be
required by-iaw� ordinances or directed by the Owner's Repre-
sentative or Architect, or by them agreed to. Owner's Represen-
t.at Y-e may direct the form in which accounts of th,,,ctual field
ay lab1e toeth'e Owner's"epee ntative-- Yhe-Owner'shRee made
presen-
tative or Architect may also specify in writing, before the work
commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind of
machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise, these matters
shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed
upon or specified, the prices for the use of machinery and
equipment shall be determined by using 1000, of the latest
Schedule of Equipment and Ownership Expenses adopted by the _
Associated General Contractors of America. Where practical, the
terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be
incorporated in the written extra work order. The fifteen
percent (150) of the actual field cost to be paid to the Con-
tractor shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead,
general superintendence, and field office expense, and all other
elements of cost and expense not embraced within the actual field
cost as herein defined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or
Field Office must be maintained primarily on account of such
extra work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall
be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless
ordered in writing by the Owner's Representative. In case any
orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve extra
work for which he should receive compensation or an adjustment in
the construction time, he shall make a written request to the
Owner's Representative for a written order authorizing such extra
work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or
does not constitute extra work, or as to the payment therefor,
and the Owner's Representative insists upon its performance, the
Contractor shall proceed with the work after making a written
request for a written order and shall keep adequate and accurate
account of the actual field cost thereof, as provided under
=F�
r-
.k
Method (C). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to
submit the matter of payment to arbitration, as herein below
provided.
26. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of this Contract
that all work described in the proposal, the specifications,
plans and other Contract Documents is to be done for the price
quoted by the Contractor and that such price shall include all
appurtenances necessary to complete the work in accordance with
the intent of these Contract Documents, as interpreted by the
Architect. If the'Contractor finds any discrepancies or
omissions in these plans, specifications or Contract Documents,
he should notify the Architect and obtain a clarification before
the bids are received, and if no such request is received by the
Architect prior to.the opening of bids, then it shall be consi-
dered that the Contractor fully understands the work to be
•► included and has provided sufficient sums in his proposal to
complete the work i.n accordance with these plans and specifi-
cations. It is further understood that any request for clari-
fication must be submitted no later than five days prior to the
opening of bids.

27. RIGHT OF OWNER TO MODIFY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
If, at any time, the methods or equipment used by the Con-
tractor are found to be inadequate to secure the quality of work
with the rate of progress required under this Contract, the Owner

increase their safety or improve their character and efficiency
and the Contractor shall comply with such order.
If, at any time, the working force of the Contractor is

employees, provided such giving or failure to give is the primary
cause of the injury or damage.
The safety precautions taken shall be the sole responsi-
bility of the Contractor, in his sole discretion as an Indepen-
dent Contractor. Inclusion of this section in the Agreement, as
well as any notice which may be given by the Owner, the Owner's

The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the
Contractor and the Owner because of the impracticability and

said amount shall be permanently retained from time to time by
the Owner from current periodical estimates.
It is further agreed that time is of the essence for each
and every portion of this Contract and of the specifications
wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the

additional time is allowed for the completion of any work, the
new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence of
this Contract. Provided, that the Contractor shall not be
charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the Owner
determines that the Contractor is without fault and the Contrac-
tor's reasons for the time extension are acceptable to the Owner.

liquidated damages or any excess cost when the delay in comple-
tion of the work is due:

including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of
the public enemy, acts of the Owner, acts of another

by any of the causes specified in subsections (a) or
(b) of this section.
Provided further, that the Contractor shall, within ten (10)
days from the beginning of such delay, unless the Owner shall
grant a further period of time prior to the date of final
settlement of the Contract, notify the Owner's Representative, in
writing, of the causes of the delay, who shall ascertain the
facts and extent of the delay and notify the Contractor within a
reasonable time of the Owner's decision in the matter.
34. TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION
It is the meaning and intent o.f this Contract, unless
otherwise herein specifically provided, that the Contractor shall
be allowed to prosecute his work at such time and sessions, in
such order or precedence, and in such manner as shall be most
conducive to economy of'construction; provided, however, that the
order and time of prosecution shall be such that the work shall
be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in accordance
with this Contract, the plans and specifications, and within the
time of completion designated in the proposals; provided, also,
that when the Owner is having other work done, either by contract
or by his own force, the Owner's Representative may direct the
time and manner of construction work done under this Contract so
that conflicts will be avoided and the construction of the
various works being done for the Owner shall be harmonized.

completion of the several parts.
35. EXTENSION OF TIME
The Contractor agrees that he has submitted his proposal in
full recognition of the time required for the completion of this
project, taking into consideration the average climatic range.and
industrial conditions prevailing in this locality, and has
considered the liquidated damage provisions of section 33
hereinabove set forth, and that he shall not be entitled to, nor
will he request, an extension of time on this Contract, except
when his work has been delayed by an act or neglect of the Owner,
Owner's Representative, the Architect, employees of the Owner or
other contractors employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in
the work, or by strike, walk -outs, acts of God or the public
enemy, fire or flood. The Contractor may apply in writing for an
extension of time, submitting therewith all written justifica-
tions as may be required by the Owner's Representative for such
an extension. The Owner's Representative within ten (10) days

shall be.made by the Contractor for hindrance or delays from any
cause during the progress of any part of the work embraced in
this Contract except where the work is stopped by order of the
Owner or Owner's Representative for the Owner's convenience, in
which event such expense, as in the judgment of the Owner's
Representative is caused by such stoppage, shall be paid by Owner
to Contractor.

allowed, but the actual measured or computed length, area, solid
-- contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless

�., In the event this Contract is let on a unit price basis,
then Owner and Contractor agree that this Contract, including the
specifications, drawings and other Contract Documents are
intended to show clearly all work to be done and material to be
furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown
for the various classes of work to be done and material to be
furnished under this Contract, they are approximations and are to
-- be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the
work and for comparing their proposals offered for the work. It
is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be
done and the materials to be furnished under this Contract may
differ somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis
for payment under this Contract is the unit price.method, payment
shall be for the actual amount of work done and materials
furnished on the project.

adjoining property arising or
this Contract, but such
claim of any kind arising out
the work. _
In consideration of furnishing all necessary labor, equip-
ment and material and the completion of all work by the Contrac-
tor, and on the delivery of all materials embraced in this
Contract in full conformity with the specifications and stipu-
lations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor
the price set forth in the proposal attached hereto, which has
been made a part of this Contract, and the Contractor hereby
agrees to receive such price in full for furnishing all labor,
equipment and material required for the aforesaid work, and for
all expenses incurred by him, and for well and truly performing
the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to
this Agreement, the attached specifications, drawings, Contract
Documents and requirements of the Architect and the Owner's
Representative.
40. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE & PERIODIC ESTIMATES
Immediately*after execution and delivery of the Contract,
and before the first partial payment is made, the Contractor
shall deliver to the Owner's Representative and to the Architect
an estimated construction progress schedule in a form satisfac-
tory to the Owner's Representative and Architect, showing the
proposed dates of commencement and completion of each of the
various subdivisions of work required under the Contract Docu-
ments and the anticipated amount of each monthly payment that
will become due the Contractor in accordance with the progress
schedule. The Contractor shall also furnish on forms to be
supplied by the Owner (a) a detailed estimate giving a complete
breakdown of the Contract price and (b) periodic itemized
estimates of work done for the purpose of making partial payments
thereon. The costs employed in making up any of these schedules
will be used only for determining the basis of partial payments
and will not be considered as fixing a basis for additions to or
deductions from the Contract price.
At least fifteen days before the date for each progress
payment established in Section 41 of these General Conditions,
the Contractor shall submit to the Architect an itemized Appli-
cation for Payment, notarized if required, supported by such data
substantiating the Contractor's right to payment as the Owner or
the Architect may require, and reflecting retainage, if any, as
provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,
payments will be made on account of materials or equipment not
incorporated in the work but delivered and suitably stored at
the site.
- 22 -
The Contractor warrants that title to all work, materials
and equipment covered by an application for payment will pass to
the Owner either by.incorporation in the construction -or upon
the receipt of payment by the Contractor, whichever occurs first,
free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests or
encumbrances, hereinafter referred to as "liens", and that no
work, materials or equipment covered by an Application for
Payment will have been acquired by.the Contractor, or by any
other person performing work at the site or furnishing materials
and equipment for the project, subject to an agreement under
r' which an interest therein or an encumbrance thereon is retained
by the seller or otherwise imposed by the Contractor or such
other person.
The Architect will, within seven days after the receipt of
the Contractor's Application for Payment, either issue a Certi-
ficate for Payment to the Owner, with a copy to the Contractor,
'~ for such amount as the Architect determines is properly due, or
notify the Contractor in writing of his reasons for withholding a
Certificate.
The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a
representation by the -"Architect to the Owner, based on the
Architect's observations at the site and the data comprising the
Application for Payment, that the work has progressed to the
point indicated; that, to the best of his knowledge, information
and belief, the quality of the work is in accordance with the
Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the work for
conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Comple-
tion, to the results of any subsequent tests required by or
performed under the Contract Documents, to minor deviations from
the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion, and to
any specific qualifications stated in his Certificate); and that
the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
However, by issuing a Certificate for Payment, the Architect
shall not thereby be'deemed to represent that he has made exhaus-
tive or continuous on -site inspections to check the quality or
quantity of the work, or that he has reviewed the construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or that he
has made any examination to ascertain how or for what purpose
the Contractor has used the moneys previously paid on account of
the Contract Sum.
41. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR
After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment,
and not later than the 25th day of each calendar month, the Owner
shall make a progress payment to the Contractor on the basis of a
duly certified and approved estimate of the work performed during
the preceding calendar month under this Contract, but to insure
the proper performance of this Contract, the Owner shall retain
five percent (51) of the amount of each estimate until final
completion and acceptance of all work covered by this Contract:
- 23 -
Provided, that the Contractor shall submit his estimate not later
than the first day of the month; Provided, further, that the
Owner at any time after fifty percent 50A) of the work has been
completed, if it finds that satisfactory progress is being made,
may make any of the remaining progress payments in full; Pro-
vided, further, that on completion and acceptance of each
separate building, public work or other division of the Con-
tract, on which the price is stated separately in the Contract,
payment may be made in full, including retained percentages
thereon, less authorized deductions.
In preparing estimates, the material delivered on the site
and preparatory work done may be taken into consideration.
All material and work covered by partial payments made shall
thereupon become the sole property of the Owner, but this
provision shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor
from the sole responsibility for the care and protection of
materials and work upon which payments have been made, or the
restoration of any damaged work, or as a waiver of the right of
the Owner to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the
Contract.
Owner's Right To Withhold Certain Amounts and Make Applica-
tion Thereof: The Contractor agrees that he will indemnify and
save the Owner harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful
demands of subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, mate-
rialmen and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equip- _
m.ent, power tools and all supplies, including commissary,
incurred in the furtherance of the performance of the Contract.
The Contractor shall, at the'Owner's request, furnish satisfac-
tory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove
designated have been paid, discharged or waived. If the
Contractor fails so to do, then the Owner may, after having
served written notice on the said Contractor, either directly pay
unpaid bills of which the Owner has written notice, or withhold
from the Contractor's unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed
reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until
satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been
fully discharged, whereupon payment to the Contractor shall be
resumed in accordance with the terms of this Contract, but in no
event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to
impose any obligations upon the Owner to either the Contractor or
his Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the Contractor, the
Owner shall be deemed the agent of the Contractor, and any
payment so made by the Owner shall be considered as a payment
made under the Contract by the Owner to the Contractor, and the
Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any such payments
made in good faith.
No Certificate for a progress payment, nor any progress
payment, nor any partial or entire use or occupancy of the
` project by the Owner, shall constitute an acceptance of any work
not in accordance with the Contract Documents.
- 24 -
The Contractor shall promptly pay each subcontractor, upon
receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the
Contractor on account of such subcontractor's work, the amount to
which said subcontractor is entitled, reflecting the percentage
actually retained, if any, from payments to the Contractor on
account of such subcontractor's work. The Contractor shall, by
an appropriate agreement with each subcontractor, require each
subcontractor to make payments to his sub -subcontractors in
similar manner.
42. PAYROLLS AND BASIC PAYROLL RECORDS OF CONTRACTOR AND
SUBCONTRACTORS
The Contractor and each subcontractor shall prepare their
payrolls on forms satisfactory to and in accordance with in-
structions to be furnished by the Local Public Agency or Public
Body. The Contractor shall submit weekly to the Local Public
Agency or Public Body two certified copies of all payrolls of the
Contractor and of the subcontractors, it being understood that
the Contractor shall be responsible for the submission of copies
of payrolls of all subcontractors. Each such payroll shall
contain the "Weekly Statement of Compliance" set forth in Section
3.3 of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations. The payrolls and
basic payroll records of the Contractor and each subcontractor

after. Such payrolls and basic payroll records shall contain the
name and address of each such.employee, his correct classifica-
tion, rate of pay (including rates of contributions or costs
anticipated of the types described in Section 1(b)(2) of the
Davis -Bacon -Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked,
deductions made and actual wages paid. In addition, whenever the
Secretary of Labor has found under Section 5.5(a)(1)(iv) of Title
29, Code of Federal Regulations, that the wages of any laborer or
mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated
in providing benefits under a plan or program described in
Section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the Contractor or
subcontractor shall maintain records which show that the
commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan
or program is financially responsible and that the plan or
program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or
mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated
or the actual cast incurred in providing such benefits. The
Contractor and each subcontractor shall make their employment
.records with respect to persons employed by them upon the work
covered by this Contract available for inspection by authorized
representatives of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment, the Local Public Agency or Public Body and the United

the Local Public Agency or Public Body for the cashing of the
same without cost or expense to the employee. For the purpose of
this clause, contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated
under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of
laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers
or mechanics, subject to the provisions of Section 5.5(a)(1)(iv)
of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations. Also for the purpose
of this clause, regular contributions made or costs incurred for
more than a weekly period under plans, funds or programs, but

Public Body, and a report of the action taken shall be submitted
by the Local Public Agency or Public Body, through the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development, to the Secretary of Labor,

-- parties cannot agree on the proper classification or reclassi-
fication of a particular class of laborers and mechanics to be
used, the question, accompanied by the recommendation -of the
Local Public Agency or Public Body, shall be referred, through
the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, to the Secretary
of Labor for final determination.

the Architect written notice that the work has been completed or
substantially completed, the Architect and the Owner's Represen-
tative shall inspect the work and within said time, if the work

observations and inspections, the work has been completed in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract Docu-
ments, and that the entire balance found due the Contractor and
noted in said final Certificate, is due and payable. The
Architect's final Certificate for Payment will constitute a
further representation that the conditions precedent to the
Contractor's being entitled to final payment, as set forth, have
been fulfilled.
Upon receipt of the Architect's Certificate of Completion,
the Owner's Representative shall, if such Certificate is satis-
factory, submit same to the Owner, who shall pay to the Contrac-
tor on or before the 31st day after the date of the Certificate

Agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual
obligations under the terms of said Agreement; and said payment

subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent observations, he
may nullify the whole or any part of any Certificate for Payment

Application for Payment, the Architect does not issue a Certi-
ficate for Payment or notify the Contractor that he is unable to
'make representations to the Owner, as provided in Section 40
herein, or if the Owner does not pay the Contractor within seven
days after the date.established in the Contract Documents any
amount certified bey the Architect or awarded by arbitration, or

due by such statement or Certificate, interest thereon at the
rate of zero percent per annum, unless otherwise specified, from

r
A.
P_
arbiter shall be a resident of the City of Lubbock Should the
party demanding arbitration fail to name an arbiter within ten
(10) days of the demand, his right to arbitrate shall lapse, and
the decision of the Owner's Representative shall be final and
binding on him. Should the other party fail to choose an arbiter
within ten (10) days, the Owner's Representative shall appoint
such arbiter. Should either party refuse or neglect to supply
the arbiters with any papers or information demanded in writing,
the arbiters are empowered by both parties to take Ex Parte
Proceedings.
The arbiters shall act with promptness. The decision -of any
two shall be binding on both parties to the Contract, unless
either or both parties shall appeal within ten (10) days from
date of the award by the arbiters, and it is hereby agreed that
each party shall have the right of appeal, and all proceedings
shall be according':to and governed by the Arbitration Statutes of
Texas, being Article 224, et seq., Vernon's Annotated Civil

DITION PRECEDENT TO ANY RIGHT OF LEGAL ACTION.
The arbiters, if they deem the case demands it, are autho-
rized to award the party whose contention is sustained such sums
as they deem proper for the time, expense and trouble incident to
the appeal, and if the appeal was taken without reasonable cause,
they may award damages for any delay occasioned thereby. The
arbiters shall fix their own compensation, unless otherwise
provided by agreement, and shall assess the costs and charges of
the arbitration upon either or both parties. The award of the
arbiters must be made in writing and shall not be open to
objection on account of the form of proceedings or award.
65. ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to
resume work within ten (10) days after written notification from
the Owner's Representative or Architect, or if the Contractor
fails to comply with the orders of the Architect, when such
orders are consistent with this Contract, or the Specifications
hereto attached, then the Surety on the bond shall be notified in
writing and directed to complete the work, and a copy of said
notice shall be delivered to the Contractor.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the Contractor
shall not remove from the work any machinery, equipment, tools,
materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together
with any materials and equipment under the Contract for work, may
be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety of the
Contractor or another Contractor in completion of the work; and
the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefore
(except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit
shall be allowed as provided for under Section 25 of this
- 35 -
Contract); it being understood that the use of such equipment and
materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work
and be reflected in the final settlement.
In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided for, within ten —
(10) days after service of such notice, then the Owner may
provide for completion of the work in either of the following
elective manners:
(a) The Owner may employ such force of men and use of
machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies as said
Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the
expense of such labor, machinery, equipment, tools, mate-
rials and supplies to said Contractor, and the expense so
charged shall be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such
moneys as may :be due, or that may thereafter at any time
become due to'the Contractor under and by virtue of this
Agreement. In case such expense is less than the sum which
would have been payable under this Contract, if the same had
been completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall
receive the difference. In case such expense is greater
than the sum would have been payable under this Contract, if
the same had been completed by said Contractor, then the
Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the amount of such
excess to the Owner; or
(b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice
published as required by law, at least twice in a newspaper
having a general circulation in the county where the -work is
located, may let the contract for the completion of the
work under substantially the same terms and conditions which
are provided in this Contract. In case of any increase in
cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared to what
would have been the cost under this Contract, such increase
shall be charged to the Contractor, and the Surety shall be
and remain bound therefore. However, should the cost to
complete any such new contract prove to be less than that
which would have been the cost to complete the work under
this Contract, the Contractor or his Surety shall be
credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed,
the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and
certificates of completion and acceptance, as provided in
Section 57 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A
complete itemized statement of the Contract accounts,
certified by the Owner's Representative as being correct,
shall then be prepared and delivered to the Contractor and
his Surety, whereon the Contractor or his Surety or the
Owner, as the case may be, shall pay the balance due, as
reflected by said statement, within sixty days after the
date of certificate of completion.
- 36 - '
r-�
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the
cost to complete the work is less than that which would have
been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by
the Contractor under the terms of this Contract, or when the
Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to
be due by them to the Owner, then all machinery, equipment,
tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work
shall be turned over to the Contractor and/or his Surety.
Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract
price, and the Contractor and/or his Surety fail to pay the
amount due the Owner within the time designated hereinabove,
and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials
or supplies on;the site of the work, notice thereof,
together with an itemized list of such equipment and
materials shall be mailed to the Contractor and his Surety
at the respective addresses designated in this Contract;
provided, however, that actual written notice given in any
manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other
.-. giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the
risk of the Contractor and his Surety, subject only to the
duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such
property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said
notice, the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools,
materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from
such sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety.
Such sale may be made at either public or private sale, with
or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall
release to the proper owners any machinery, equipment, _
,-, tools, materials or supplies which remain on the job site
and belong to persons other than the Contractor of his
Surety.
66. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of
this Contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said
terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the
Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or wholly abandon the
�., work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equip-
ment, and all materials on the ground that have not been included
in payments to the Contractor and have not been incorporated into
the work. Thereupon, the Architect shall make an estimate of the
total amount earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall
include the value of all work actually completed by said Con-
tractor at the prices stated in the attached proposal, the value
of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price,
and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed
upon, or provided for by the terms of this Contract, and a
reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the
Contractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which
cannot be utilized. The Architect shall then make a final
statement of the balance due the Contractor by deducting from the
above estimate all previous payments by the Owner and all other
sums that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this
- 37 -
Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner's Representative.
If the Owner's Representative finds the statement to be satis-
factory, he shall submit it to the Owner, who shall pay to the
Contractor on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the
notification by the Contractor the balance shown by said final
statement as due the Contractor under the terms of this Agree-
ment.
67. LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss or damage to the
Contractor arising out of the nature of the work to be done, or
from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen circum-
stances and the prosecution of the same, or from unusual obstruc-
tions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution
of the work, shall be sustained and borne by the Contractor at
his own cost and oNpense.

right to observe Contractor's work during its performance and to
carry out the other prerogatives which are expressly reserved to
and vested in the Owner, Owner's Representative or Architect
hereunder, is not intended to and shall not at any time change or
affect the status of the Ccntractor as an independent contractor
with respect to the Owner, Owner's Representative, Architect or
the Contractor's own employees, or to any other person, firm or
corporation.
69. CLEANING UP
The Contractor shal•1 at all times keep the premises free
from accumulation of debris caused by the work, and at the
completion of the work he shall remove all such debris and also
his tools, scaffolding and surplus materials, and shall leave the
work broom clean or its equivalent. The work shall be left in
good order and condition. In case of dispute, the Owner may
remove the debris and charge the cost to the Contractor.
70. CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
The Contractor shall have the right to terminate the
Contract at any time when circumstances beyond the Contractor's
control occur, thru no fault of the Contractor, which prohibit
the completion of the Agreement as contemplated by the parties at
the time of execution. Should the Contractor choose to terminate
this Agreement, he shall accrue no rights to full payment
hereunder and shall receive only a pro rate payment for work
actually performed, the amount of such payment to be assessed by
1
the Owner. Should the Contractor choose not to terminate, even
though cause exists under this provision, liquidated damages as
set forth herein shall in no way be affected.
71. RIGHT OF THE OWNER TO TERMINATE CONTRACT
In the event that any of the provisions of this Contract are
violated by the Contractor, or by any of his subcontractors, the
Owner may serve written notice upon the Contractor and the Surety
of the Owner's intention to terminate the Contract, such notices

,., (10) days after the serving of such notice upon the Contractor,
such violation or delay shall cease and satisfactory arrangement
of correction be made, the Contract shall, upon the expiration of
said ten (10) days, cease and terminate. In the event of any
such termination, the Owner shall immediately serve notice
thereof upon the Surety and the Contractor, and the Surety shall
have the right to take over and perform the Contract: Provided,.
however, that if the Surety does not commence performance thereof
within then (10) days from the date of the mailing to such Surety
of notice of termination, the Owner may take over the work and
prosecute the same at the expense of the Contractor and the
Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to the Owner for any
excess cost occasioned the Owner thereby, and in such event the
Owner may take possession of and utilize in completing the work
