The Contractor further agrees that the Owner may make such changes and alterations as the Owner
may see fit for the Work herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either before, during, or after the
beginning of the mowing Cycles, without affecting the validity of this contract.
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 Work 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 actual expenses incurred
in preparation for the Work as originally planned.
26. 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 Contractor's bid, except as provided under Changes and
Alterations herein.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all Extra Work under the direction of the Owner's
Representative when presented with a written work order signed by the Owner's Representative;
subject, however, to the 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 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 lesser of the following: (1)
actual field cost of the Extra Work, plus fifteen (15%) percent; or (2) the
amount that would have been charged by a reasonable and prudent Contractor
as a reasonable and necessary cost for performance of the Extra Work.
In the event said Extra Work be performed and paid for under Method (C)(1), then the provisions of
this paragraph shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of all
workers, such as foremen, timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, materials, supplies, teams, trucks,
rentals on machinery and equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work,
plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with all expenses incurred directly
on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security, Old Age Benefits, Maintenance Bonds,
Public Liability and Property Damage and Workers' Compensation and all other insurances as may
be required by law or ordinances or directed by the Owner or Owner's Representative, or by them
agreed to. Owner's Representative may direct the form in which accounts of the actual field cost shall
be kept and records of these accounts shall be made available to the Owner's Representative. The
Owner's Representative 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, the prices for the use
of machinery and equipment shall be determined by using 100%, unless otherwise specified, 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 (15%) of the
actual field cost to be paid to Contractor shall cover and compensate Contractor for its 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 Owner's
Representative. In case any orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve Extra Work for
which Contractor should receive compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, Contractor
shall prior to commencement of such Extra Work, make 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 therefore, and the Owner's Representative
insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the Work after making written request
for written order and shall keep adequate and accurate account of the actual field cost thereof, as
provided under Method (C) (1). If Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative before the
commencement of any Extra Work, any claim for payment due to alleged Extra Work shall be deemed
waived.
27. UNAUTHORIZED WORK
All Work and/or materials which do not conform to the contract and Specifications, and Work done
contrary to written instructions of the Owner's Representative or Agent(s) shall be done at the
expense of the Contractor. The Contractor may be ordered to remove or remedy such Work at its
own expense. If Contractor damages adjacent property, the Contractor shall remedy such property
at its own expense.
28. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of the contract documents that all Work described in the bid,
the Specifications, plans and other contract documents, is to be done for the prices 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 Owner's Representative.
Notices of any discrepancies or omissions in these plans, Specifications, or contract documents,
shall be given to the Owners' Representative and a clarification obtained before the bids are
received, and if no such notice is received by the Owner's
Representative prior to the opening of bids, then it shall be deemed that the Contractor fully
understands the Work to be included and has provided sufficient sums in its bid to complete
the Work in accordance with these plans and Specifications. If Contractor does not notify
Owner's Representative before bidding of any discrepancies or omissions, then it shall be
deemed for all purposes that the plans and Specifications are sufficient and adequate for
completion of the project. It is further agreed that any request for clarification must be
submitted no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the opening of bids.
29. RIGHT OF OWNER TO MODIFY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
If at any time the methods or equipment used by the Contractor are found to be inadequate to secure
the quality of Work with the rate of progress required under this contract, the Owner, Owner's
Representative, or Agent(s) may order the Contractor verbally or in writing to increase their safety
or improve their character and efficiency and the Contractor shall comply with such order.

specified, the Contractor shall, if so ordered verbally or in writing, increase its force or equipment,
or both, to such an extent as to give reasonable assurance of compliance with the schedule of progress.

as an Independent Contractor; inclusion of this paragraph in the Agreement, as well as any notice
which may be given by the Owners or the Owner's Representative concerning omissions under this
paragraph as the Work progresses, are intended as reminders to the Contractor of its duty and shall

38. TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION
It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the
Contractor shall be allowed to prosecute its Work at such time and sessions, in such order of
precedence, and in such manner as shall be most conductive to economy of scheduling; provided,
however, that the order and time of prosecution shall be such that the Work shall be substantially

schedule shall fall within the time frame of Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
A failure by Owner's Representative to affirmatively grant the extension no later than twenty-four
(24) hours of written submission by Contractor shall be deemed a denial, and final. Further, in the

of any part of the Work embraced in this contract except where the Work is stopped by order of the
Owner, Owner's Representative or Agent(s) for the Owner's convenience, in which event, such
expense as in the sole judgment of the Owner's Representative that is caused by such stoppage shall
be paid by Owner to Contractor.
41. QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS
No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured or
computed length, area, solid contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless otherwise
specifically provided. 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, and only when same are expressly stated to be estimates, 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 bids
offered for the Work. In the event the amount of Work to be done and materials to be furnished are
expressly stated to be estimated, and only when same are expressly stated to be estimated, 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.
42. PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY
The Contractor shall take proper means to protect the adjacent or adjoining property or properties in
any way encountered, which may be injured or seriously affected by any process of construction to
be undertaken under this agreement, from any damage or injury by reason of said process of
construction; and Contractor shall be liable for any and all claims for such damage on account of his
failure to fully protect all adjacent property. Without limiting, in any way, manner and form, the
indemnity provided by Contractor in Item #30 — Protection Against Accidents to Employees and the
Public and General Indemnity hereof, the Contractor agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless
the Owner, and any of its officers, agents and employees, against any and all claims or damages due
to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, related to, arising from or growing out of the
performance of this contract. The Contractor shall use every precaution necessary to prevent damage
to trees, shrubs, above and below ground structures, utilities and any other form of property. Should
damage occur, it is the Contractor's responsibility to report the damage to the Owner's Representative
or Agent(s) as soon as possible but not exceeding twenty-four (24) hours from the time damage
occurred. If damage occurs as a result of Contractor's actions, the Contractor shall be held
responsible to repair or replace the damaged property at its own expense. Time required to repair
damaged property shall be expedient and to the approval of the Owner's Representative or Agent(s).
If the damage is not repaired in the agreed upon time period, the City may after forty-eight (48) hours'
notice from the Owner's Representative, proceed to repair the damage. The Contractor shall be held
financially responsible for the repair Work and the cost shall be deducted from the Contractor's
payment.

of all Work by the Contractor, and on the delivery of all materials embraced in this contract in full
conformity with the Specifications and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the

well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to this
agreement, the attached Specifications, plans, appendicies, contract documents and requirements of
Owner's Representative.
44. PAYMENTS
No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive evidence of the
performance of the contract, either wholly or in part, nor shall any certificate or payment be
considered as acceptance of defective Work. Contractor shall at any time requested during the
progress of the Work furnish the Owner or Owner's Representative with a verifying certificate
showing the Contractor's total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the Work. Before final
payment is made, Contractor shall satisfy Owner, by affidavit or otherwise, that there are no
outstanding liens against Owner's premises by reason of any Work under the contract. Acceptance
by Contractor of final payment of the contract price shall constitute a waiver of all claims against
Owner, Owner's agents and employees, who have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in
this contract. The Contractor shall receive compensation provided for in the contract on a per Cycle
basis for each Unit site. In the case of the Grounds Maintenance Contract, payment shall be
determined by services rendered. Payment shall be made at the end of each month for services
rendered for each completed Unit within a maintenance group.
45. PAYMENT WITHHELD
In addition to express provisions elsewhere contained in the contract, the Owner or Owner's
Representative may withhold from any payment otherwise due the Contractor such amount as
determined necessary to protect the Owner's interest, or, if it so elects, may withhold or retain all or

When the Work is suspended for any of the causes itemized above, or for any other cause or causes,
the Contractor shall discontinue the Work or such part thereof as the City designates.
47. FINAL INSPECTION
Final Inspection of the site shall take place by the Owner's Representative or Agent(s) as soon as
possible after the completion of the Unit(s). If the project (s) is completed in Cycles, the project (s)
shall be inspected after each Unit(s) by the Agent(s). The Contractor shall be allowed to be present
at the examination. If the inspection reveals any defective Work, the Owner's Representative or
Agent(s) may require the Call Back Work to be remedied before final acceptance is granted. All said
remedies shall be at the expense of the Contractor.
48. SPECIAL EVENTS
The Contractor shall schedule Work to enhance public use and restrict conflict with scheduled events.
Special event schedules will be submitted to the Contractor by the Owner's Representative or his
Agent(s) to arrange for mowing schedule adjustments as may be required. The Owner's

that requires mowing schedule adjustments.
49. CLAIM OR DISPUTED WORK
It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the
Contractor shall be in writing and filed with the Owner's Representative within seven (7) calendar
days after the Owner's Representative has given any direction, order or instruction to which the
Contractor desires to take exception. Timely written notice of dispute as provided in this contract of
any decision by Owner's Representative or Owner shall be a condition precedent to the bringing
and/or assertion of any action or claim by Contractor of any right under this Contract. If the matters
set forth in the notice of dispute are not granted or otherwise responded to by Owner's Representative
within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of notice of dispute by Owner's Representative, said
objections shall be deemed denied. Any decision by the Owner's Representative, or deemed denial by
the Owner's Representative, shall be final and conclusive in the absence of fraud. It is further agreed
that the acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any and all claims of the
Contractor, and constitute a waiver of the right to assert any claim against Owner, Owner's agents and
employees and Owner's Representative, by Contractor.
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 Owner
violates the terms and provisions of this contract, the Contractor shall promptly, either before
proceeding with such Work or complying with such order or determination, notify the Owner in
writing of his (its) contentions with respect thereto and request a final determination thereof. If the
Owner 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 for the contract, thereupon the Owner shall cause
either (a) the issuance of a written order covering the Extra Work as provided for in paragraph 1 of
Item #26-Extra Work hereof, or (b) the determination or order complained of be rescinded or so
modified so as to not require performance beyond that required by the terms and provisions of the
contract. Such determination of the Owner shall be given in writing to the Contractor.
If the Owner 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
seven (7) calendar days after receiving the Owner's determination and direction, notify the Owner 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 Owner for a determination or, having so appealed, should
the Contractor thus fail to notify the Owner 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.
In addition to the foregoing requirement, the Contractor shall, upon notice from the Owner, produce
for examination and audit at the Contractor' office, by the representatives of the Owner, 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
Owner 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 Owner or any agent or employee of the Owner 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 Owner 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 Owner, upon demand therefore, shall
also produce for inspection by the Contractor such records as the Owner may have with respect to
such disputed Work or Work performed under protest pursuant to order of the Owner, except those
records and reports which may have been prepared for the purpose of determining the accuracy and
validity of the Contractor's claim.
50. NON-COMPLIANCE AND/OR ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should (1) abandon and fail or refuse to resume Work within two calendar days
after written notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or (2) if the Contractor fails
to comply with the written orders of the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent
with this contract.
In the event the Contractor should fail to commence compliance with the notice hereinbefore
provided within two calendar days after service of such notice, and/or shall fail to proceed with
diligence to complete the project as contemplated and in compliance with all terms and provisions of
the contract documents, then the Owner may exercise any and all remedies available to it pursuant to
law, contract, equity or otherwise, including, but not limited to, providing 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, 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 expense
is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same
had been completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor 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. 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. 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 shall be credited therewith.
In the event the Owner's Representative elects to complete the Work, as described above, when the
Work shall have been finally completed, the Contractor shall be so notified and certification
of completion as provided in Item #44-Payments hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A
complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to by Owner's Representative as
being correct shall then be prepared and delivered to Contractor, if applicable, where on the
Contractor, 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 certification of completion.
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, if applicable, 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, if applicable. Should the cost to complete the Work
exceed the contract price, and the Contractor, if applicable, 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, if applicable, 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, if applicable, subject only to the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect
such property.
51. LIMITATION ON CONTRACTOR'S REMEDY
The remedies of Contractor hereunder shall be limited to, and Owner shall be liable only for, Work
actually performed by Contractor and/or its subcontractors as set forth in the contract documents, and
Owner shall not be liable for any consequential, punitive or indirect loss or damage that Contractor
may suffer in connection with the project which is the subject matter of this contract.

53. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In the event special conditions are contained herein as part of the contract documents and said special
conditions conflict with any of the general conditions contained in this contract, then in such event
the special conditions shall control.
54. LOSS OR EXPENSE DUE TO UNUSUAL OR UNANTICIPATED CIRCUMSTANCES
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss, expense 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
circumstance or from unusual obstructions or difficulties, naturally occurring, man-made or
otherwise, which may be encountered in the prosecution of the Work, shall be sustained and borne
by the Contractor at his own cost and expense.
55. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is, and shall remain, an independent Contractor with full, complete and exclusive power
and authority to direct, supervise, and control its own employees and to determine the method of the
performance of the Work covered hereby. The fact that the Owner, Owner's Representative or
Agent(s) shall have the right to observe Contractor's Work during Contractor's performance and to
carry out the other prerogatives which are expressly reserved to and vested in the Owner, Owner's
Representative or Agent(s) hereunder, is not intended to and shall not at any time change or effect
the status of the Contractor as an independent Contractor with respect to either the Owner, Owner's
Representative or Agent(s) or to the Contractor's own employees or to any other person, firm, or
corporation.
56. NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS OR ESTOPPEL
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:
56.1 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
56.2 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

construction of, or incorporation into, the Project; or (ii) be brought upon, placed, or located, by any
party, on the Project site, or any other property of the City, without the written consent of the Owner's
Representative. If Contractor believes that the utilization of a Hazardous Substance, hydrocarbons or
other petroleum products or byproducts and/or asbestos is necessary in the construction of the Project,
or that it is necessary to place and/or otherwise locate upon the site of the Project or other property
of the City, a Hazardous Substance, hydrocarbons or other petroleum products or byproducts and/or
asbestos, Contractor shall notify the Owner's Representative, and request consent there from, at least
twenty (20) days prior to such action. Owner's Representative may grant or deny the request of
Contractor and provide whatever requirements such consent, if granted, is conditioned upon, in its
sole and absolute discretion. If the request of Contractor is not granted, or otherwise not responded
to, by Owner's Representative within five (5) days of the receipt of said request, said request shall be
deemed to be denied.
In the event Owner's Representative shall consent to the request of Contractor, Contractor shall be
responsible for ensuring that all personnel involved in the Project are (i) trained for the level of

particular, in all aspects of handling, storage, disposal and exposure of Hazardous Substances,

appropriation for this purpose by the City. In the event of non -appropriation of funds by the City
Council of the City of Lubbock for the goods or services provided under the contract, the City will
terminate the contract, without termination charge or other liability, on the last day of the then -current
fiscal year or when the appropriation made for the then -current year for the goods or services covered

conditions are inappropriate for maintaining high quality Work, they may notify the Contractor and
suspend Work. The suspension of Work by the Owner's Representative or Agent (s) shall not in any
way allow the Contractor to find grounds for adjustments in Contract Time or provide for extra
compensation.
63. SPECIFICATION CHANGE
During the term of the Contract, the Owner may change Site Classifications, thereby increasing or
decreasing mowing frequencies. Unit pricing will be used to determine cost adjustments. All changes
shall be in writing.
Contractor understands and agrees that a Drought Contingency Plan, if enacted by the City of
Lubbock, could result in significantly reduced or eliminated irrigation schedules for the properties
that are the subject of this agreement, which could, in turn, significantly reduce or eliminate the need
for services contemplated under this agreement. In the event said Drought Contingency Plan is
enacted, Owner shall promptly notify Contractor of said event, and Contractor hereby agrees
thereafter to accept and abide by any revised maintenance schedules and compensation adjustments
promulgated by the Owner. This agreement shall constitute the Contractor's consent, granted
prospectively, for a change order to the original contract price as required by TEXAS LOCAL
GOVERNMENT CODE, Section 252.048(d).
64. 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 Owner's
Representative. The Contractor shall afford the Owner the opportunity to inspect the same. After
inspection by the Owner, the Contractor shall not delay Work pending a decision to be made by the
Owner regarding the claim. Failure of the Contractor to give prompt written notice and afford the
Owner 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.
65. FORCE MAJEURE
In the event either Owner or Contractor is rendered unable in whole or in part by force majeure to
carry out any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking to be kept or performed by such party
under this agreement, other than to make payment of amounts due for Work completed, such
covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking, insofar as the same is affected by such force majeure,
will be suspended. The term "force majeure" as employed in this section includes acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, or other industrial disturbances, acts of a public enemy, war, blockades, riots, epidemics,
earthquakes, explosions, accidents, or repairs to machinery or pipes, the delays of carriers, or inability
by reason of governmental regulation to obtain materials, acts of public authorities including but not
limited to the effectuation of a Drought Contingency Plan by the City of Lubbock, or other causes,
whether or not of the same kind as specifically enumerated, not within the control of the party
claiming suspension and which by the exercise of due diligence or the payment of money such party
is unable to overcome.
66. SEVERABILITY
If for any reason any provision hereof shall be inoperative, the validity and effect of all other
provisions shall not be affected thereby.
67. PRESUMPTION AGAINST SCRIVENER
In case of a dispute as to interpretation of this agreement, each party waives the presumption that this
agreement is presumed to be read in favor of the party that did not prepare it.
68. THE CITY RIGHT TO AUDIT
At any time during the term of this Contract and for a period of four (4) years thereafter the City or a
duly authorized audit representative of the City, or the State of Texas, at its expense and at reasonable
times, reserves the right to audit Contractor's records and books relevant to all services provided
under this Contract. In the event such an audit by the City reveals any errors/overpayments by the
City, Contractor shall refund the City the full amount of such overpayments within thirty (30) days
of such audit findings, or the City, at its option, reserves the right to deduct such amounts owing the
City from any payments due Contractor.
69. NON -ARBITRATION
The City reserves the right to exercise any right or remedy available to it by law, contract, equity, or
otherwise, including without limitation, the right to seek any and all forms of relief in a court of
competent jurisdiction. Further, the City shall not be subject to any arbitration process prior to
exercising its unrestricted right to seek judicial remedy. The remedies set forth herein are cumulative
