All bidders shall be thoroughly familiar with all of the requirements set forth on the contract documents for the construction of this project and shall be responsible for the satisfactory completion of all work contemplated by said contract documents: 3. PLANS FOR USE BY BIDDERS It is the intent of the City of Lubbock that all parties with an interest in submitting a bid on the project covered by the contract documents be given a reasonable opportunity to examine the. documents and prepare a bid without charge or forfeiture of deposit. The contract documents, may be examined without charge as noted in the Notice to Bidders. 4. MIE AND ORDER FOR COMPLETION The construction covered by the contract documents shall be fully completed within'614 calendar days from the date specified in the :notice to Proceed issued by the City of Lubbock to the successful bidder. The Contractor will be permitted to prosecute the work in the order of his own choosing, provided however, the City reserves the right to require the Contractor to submit a progress schedule of the work contemplated by the contract documents. In the event the City requires a progress schedule to be submitted and it is determined by the City that the progress of the work is not in accordance with the progress schedule so submitted, the City may direct the Contractor to take such action as the City deems necessary to insure completion of the project within the time specified. 5. PAYHENT All payments due to Contractor shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the General Conditions of the contract documents. r' 6; , AFFIDAVITS OF BILLS PAID ~ The City of Lubbock reserves the right, prior to final acceptance of this project to require the Contractor to execute an affidavit that all bills for labor, materials and incidentals incurred in the construction of the improvements contemplated by the contract documents have been paid in full and that there are no claims pending, of which the Contractor has been notified. 7. MATERIALS kND WORMANSHIP The intent of these contract documents is that only materials and work-manship 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 incor- porated into the project. The presence or absence of a representative of the City on the construction site will not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility of complying with this provision. The specifications for materials and methods set forth in the contract documents provide minimum standards of quality which the 0--naer believes necessary to procure a satisfactory project." 8. GUARANTEES All equipment and materials incorporated in the project and all construc- tion shall be guaranteed against defective materials and workmanship. ,--�, Prior to final acceptance, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner, a E written general guarantee which shall provide that the Contractor shall l remedy any defects in the work, and pay for any and all damages of any nature whatsoever resulting in such defects, when such defects appear within one year from date of final acceptance of the work as a result of defective materials or workmanship, at no -cost to the Owner (City of Lubbock). 4.

The City reserves the right, after the bids have been opened and before the contract has been "�' awarded, to require of a bidder the following information: rf+ (a) The experience record of the bidder showing completed jobs of a ` similar nature to the one covered by the proposed contract and all work in progress with bond mounts and percentage completed. :;.. (b) A sworn statement of the current financial condition of the bidder. (c) Equipment schedule. 11. TEXAS STATE SALES TAX This contract is issued by an organization which qualifies for exemption provisions pursuant to provisions of Article 20.04 of the Texas Limited AIM Sales, Excise and Use Tax Act. The Contractor must obtain a limited sales, excise and use tax permit which shall enable him to buy the materials to be incorporated into the work without paying the tax at the time of purchase. 12. PROTECTION OF SUBSURFACE LINES AND STRUCTURES It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to prosecute the work con- templated by the contract documents in such a way as to exercise due care -"" to locate and prevent damage to all underground pipelines, utility lines, conduits or other underground structure's which might or could be damaged by Contractor during the construction of the project contemplated by +� these contract documents. The City of Lubbock agrees that it will fur- nish Contractor 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 aforementioned. All such underground lines or structures cut or damaged by Contractor during the prosecution of the work contemplated by this contract shall be repaired iamediately by Contractor to the satisfaction of the City of Lubbock, Texas, at Contractor's expense. 13. BARRICADES AND SAFETY MEASURES The Contractor shall, at his own expense, furnish and erect such barri- cades, fences, lights, and danger signals, and shall rake such other precautionary measures for the protection of persons, property and the work as may be necessary. The Contractor will be held responsible for all damage to the work due to failure of barricades., signs, and lights to protect it, and when damage is. incurred, the damaged portion shall be immediately removed and replaced ::•■ by Contractor at his own cost and expense. The Contractor's responsibility for maintenance of barricades, signs, and lights shall not cease until the date of issuance to Contractor of City's certificate of acceptance of .., the project. 14. EXPLOSIVES .� The use of explosives will not be permitted unless written permission to do so is obtained by the Contractor from the City. In all cases where written permission is obtained for the use of explosives, the Contractor shall assume full responsibility for all damage which may occur as a direct or indirect result of the blasting. In addition in all cases where explosives are authorized to be used, the Contractor shall use lI utmost care so as not to endanger life or property and the Contractor shall further use only such methods as are currently utilized by 'm persons, firms, or corporations engaged in similar type of construction activity. Explosive. materials shall not be stored or kept at the construction site by the Contractor. In all cases where explosives are to be used during the construction of the project contemplated by this contract, it shall be the duty of the Contractor to notify each utility company having structures (above or below the ground) in proximity to the site of the work of Contractor's intention to use explosives, and such notice shall be given sufficiently in advance to enable the companies to take such steps as they may deem necessary to protect their property from injury. Such notice however, shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any damage resulting from his blasting operations. 15. CONTRACTOR'S REPRESENTATIVE The successful bidder shall be required to have a responsible local representative available at all times while the work is in progress under this contract. The successful bidder shall be required to furnish the name, address and telephone number where such local representative may be reached during' the time that the work contemplated by this contract is in progress. 16.

In the event this contract is let on a unit price basis, then Owner and Contractor agree that this contract, including the specifications, plans 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 approximate 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.

Before final payment is made, Contractor shall satisfy Owner, by affidavit INN or otherwise, that there are no outstanding liens against Owner's prerises by reason of any *cork under the, contract.

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 paragraph 24 of this contract); it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work P-nd 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 r- to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials 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 ea-pense is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the sane 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 of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract.

A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to be the Owner's Representative as being correct shall then be ON prepared and -delivered to 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 30 days after the date of certificate of completion. ' In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to com- plete 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 ter--s 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, equip- ment, 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 tl his Surety fail to pay the amount due the o--ner within the time designated hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together urith an ir-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 c., 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.

Thereupon, the Owner's Representative 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 Contractor at the prices stated in the attached proposal, the value of all partially ccmpleted 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 O---ner's Representative 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 suns that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement, and s:.all certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (50) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance shou-n by said final statement as due the Contractor, under the terms of this :•- Agreement. 51.
