2.3 Changed Condition: If the Contractor finds latent conditions which differ from
those outlined in the contract or specifications which differ from customary work,
and which the Contractor could not have discovered during the investigation of
the site prior to the bid, and in which such condition increased the expense to the
Contractor, immediate written notice shall be promptly mailed to the Parks
Manager. The Contractor shall afford the City the opportunity to inspect the
same. After inspection by the City, the Contractor shall not delay work pending a
decision to be made by the City regarding the claim. Failure of the Contractor to
give prompt written notice and afford the City the opportunity to inspect the
condition, before it is disturbed, shall be deemed a waiver by the Contractor of all
claims and extra compensation arising out of the alleged condition. If the City
determines that the Contractor is entitled to extra compensation by reason of
increased expense to the Contractor and caused by the condition, and finds that
the condition requires work not covered in the contract, a change order may be
executed for additional compensation which shall be agreed upon by all parties
involved. Additional time may be granted if the City deems additional time is
necessary to accomplish the job. No change order or combination of change
orders shall exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the total contract.

3.12 Disputed Work: If the contractor is of the opinion that (a) the work necessary or
required to accomplish the result intended by this contract; or (b) any work
ordered to be done as contract work by the City is extra work or additional work
and not contract work; or (c) any determination or order of the City violates the
terms and provisions of this contract, the Contractor shall promptly, either before
proceeding with such work or with such order or determination, notify the City in
writing of his (its) contentions with respect thereto and request a final
determination thereof.
Such determination of the City shall be given in writing to the Contractor. If the
City determines that the work in question is extra work and not contract work, or
the determination or order complained of required performance by the Contractor
beyond that required by the contract or violates the terms and provisions of the
contract, thereupon the City shall cause either (a) the issuance of a written order
covering the extra work as provided for in paragraph 1 of section 3.12 hereof, or

not require performance beyond that required by the terms and provisions of the
contract.
If the City determines that the work in question is contract work and not, extra
work, or that the determination or order complained of does not require
performance by the Contractor beyond that required by the contract or violate the
terms and provisions of the contract, he shall direct the Contractor to proceed, and
the Contractor must promptly comply. In order to reserve his (its) right to claim
compensation for such work resulting from such compliance, the Contractor must,
within twenty (20) calendar days after receiving the City's determination and
direction, notify the City in writing that the work is being performed, or that the
determination and direction is being complied with, under protest.
If the Contractor fails to so appeal to the City for a determination or, having so
appealed, should the Contractor thus fail to notify the City in writing of his (its)
protest, the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived any claim for extra
compensation or damages therefore. No oral appeals or oral protests, no matter to
whom made shall be deemed even substantial compliance with the provisions of
this item.
5:P hase id OOos R15-1214615 Fmilization rot Various Parkland ProPatias
A delay of the Contractor due to a court order against the City or because of a
conflict of a utility with the work shall not be a cause for additional compensation
for damages sustained by the Contractor, but may be a cause for extension of
contract working time only.
In addition to the foregoing requirement, the Contractor shall, upon notice from
the City, produce for examination and audit at the Contractor' office, by the
representatives of the City, all his (its) books and records showing all of his (its)
acts and transactions in connection with contractual performance as well as
relating to or arising by reason of the matter in dispute. At such examination a
duly authorized representative of the Contractor may be present.
Unless the aforesaid requirements and conditions shall have been complied with
the Contract, the City shall be released from all claims arising under, relating to or
by reason of this contract, except for the sums to be due under the payment
provision or this contract. It is further stipulated and agreed that no conduct on
the part of the City or any agent or employee of the City shall even be construed
as a waiver of the requirements of this section, which such requirements
constitute an absolute condition precedent to any approval or any claim for extra
compensation, notwithstanding any other provisions of the contract documents;
and in any action against the City to recover any sum in excess of the contract
amount the Contractor must allege and prove strict compliance with the
provisions of this section.
In connection with the examination provided for herein, the City, upon demand
therefore, shall also produce for inspection by the Contractor such records as the
City may have with respect to such disputed work or work performed under
protest pursuant to order of the City, except those records and reports which may
have been prepared for the purpose of determining the accuracy and validity of
the Contractor's claim.
3.13 Performance of Extra or Disputed Work: While the Contractor or his (its)
subcontractor is performing extra work in accordance with the City's written
order, or is performing disputed work or complying with a determination or order
under protest in accordance with paragraph 3 of Section 3.12 hereof, the
Contractor shall daily furnish the City's representative at the site with three copies
of verified statement showing:
3.13.1 The name of each employee on this extra work and the equipment
employed. This information shall be reported on forms supplied by the
City. A copy of such statements shall be signed by the City's
representative, noting thereon any items in question, and shall be returned
to the Contractor within five working days after submission. This
signature shall not be construed as the City's agreement and acceptance of
items not questioned since all items are subject to subsequent review and
audit by City representatives.
3.13.2 The Contractor and his (its) subcontractors, when required by the City,
must also produce the inspection and audit by designated City
representative, any and all of his (its) books, vouchers, records, daily job
diaries and reports, canceled check, etc., showing the nature and quantity
of labor, materials and equipment actually used in the performance of the
extra work; the amounts expended therefore; and the costs incurred for
insurance premiums and other items of expense directly chargeable to
such extra work. The Contractor must permit the City's representatives to
make extracts there from or copies thereof as may be desired. Failure of
$Purc Oic[ Mc M 15-1210 n Fend wion for Various Parkland Pro m
the Contractor to comply strictly with these requirements shall constitute a
waiver of any claim for extra compensation on account of the performance
of such extra work.
3.14 No Waiver of Rights or Estoppels: The City, or any officer or agent thereof,
shall not be precluded at any time, either before or after final completion and
acceptance of the work and final payment therefore from:
3.14.1 Showing the true and correct amount, classifications, quality and character
of the work done and materials furnished by the Contractor or any other
person under this contract, or from showing at any time that any
determination, return, decision, approval, order, letter, payment or
certification is untrue and incorrect, or improperly made in any particular,
or that the work or the materials or any parts thereof, do not in fact
conform to the contact requirements; and
3.14.2 Demanding the recovery from the Contractor of any overpayments made
to him, or such damages as the City may sustain by reason of the
Contractor's failure to perform each and every part of this contract in strict
accordance with its terms or both.
3.15 Contractor Default, City's Right to Suspend Work and Annual Contract:

executed in accordance with the 2015 Parkland Turf program attached hereto as
part of this bid. Application dates may vary.
4.2 Listed quantities are estimates only. Actual quantities may vary dependent upon
actual usage.
5.0 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS OF WORK
5.1 Notice to Proceed: Notice to proceed shall be mailed to the Contractor by
certified letter. The Contractor shall have ten (10) working days from the day he
receives the letter to actively proceed with the work.
5.2 Contract Time: All work is schedule driven; therefore, the Contractor's work
force and equipment needs shall vary throughout the contract's time period. The
normal work schedule shall fall within the time frame of Monday through Friday
6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
5.3 Weekends, Holidays and Nights: Work on weekends, holidays, and nights shall

conditions prevent such quality, the Contractor shall suspend work and resume
work as soon as weather allows. If the Agent or Parks Manager finds that weather

adjustments in contract time or provide for extra compensation.

employed by the Contractor shall be competent and careful workers skilled in
their respective trades. The Parks Manager or his Agent may remove from the

person misconducts himself/herself, is incompetent, or negligent in the
performance of their duties, they may be removed from the work site and shall not
return until the Contractor receives written consent from the City's
Representative. Should the Contractor continue to employ such individual to
continue work under this contract, the City reserves the right to withhold payment
and/or nullify the contract.
5.6 Assigning or Subletting the Contract: The Contractor shall not assign or sublet
the contract, or any portion of the contract, without written consent from the Parks
