7. MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
The intent of these contract documents is that only materials 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 pro-
tecting them adequately until incorporated into the project. The presence or absence of a representative of
the City on the site will not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility of complying with this provi-
Mon. The specifications for materials and methods set forth in the contract documents provide minim
standards of quality which the Owner believes necessary to procure a satisfactory project. _

All equipment and materials incorporated in the project and all construction shall be guaranteed against de -
materials and workmanship. Prior to final acceptance, the Contractor shall furnish to the owner, a
written general guarantee which shall provide that the Contractor shall remedy any defects in the work, and

rectly to the Contractor. The Contractor shall then distribute copies of plans and specifications to sup-
pliers, subcontractors or others, as required for proper prosecution of the work contemplated by the Con-
tractor.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the care, preservation, conservation, and protection of all materi-
als, supplies, machinery, equipment, tools, apparatus, accessories, facilities, and all means of construc-
tion, and any and all parts of the work whether the Contractor has been paid, partially paid, or not paid
for such work, until the date the City issues its certificate of completion to Contractor. The City re-
serves the right, after the bids have been opened and before the contract has been awarded, to require of a
bidder the fallowing information:
(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 amounts and percentage completed.
(b) A sworn statement of the current financial condition of the bidder.

terials to be incorporated into the work without paying the tax at the time of purchase.

such a way as to exercise due care to locate and prevent damage to all underground pipelines, utility lines,

rr* tion 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 whichit has knowledge. .How-
ever, such fact shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities aforementioned. All such under-
ground lines or structures cut or damaged by Contractor during the prosecution of the work contemplated by
this contract shall be repaired immediately by Contractor to the satisfaction of the City of Lubbock, Texas,
at Contractor's expense.
13. BARRICADES AND SAFETY MEASURES _

�,.,. naLs, and shall take such other precautionary measures for the protection of persons, property and the work'

Lights to protect it, and when damage is incurred, the damaged portion shall be immediately removed and re -
pieced by Contractor at his own cost and expense. The Contractor's responsibility for maintenance of barri-
cades, 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 alt cases where written permission is obtained for the use of explosives, the Contractor'

Statutes providing for the payment of.the wage schedules above mentioned .and the bidder's obligations there-
under. The inclusion of the schedule of general prevaiting.rate of per than wages in these contract docu-
ments does not release the Contractor from compliance with any wage law that may be applicable. Construc-
tion work under this contract requiring an inspector will not be performed on weekends or holidays unless
the following conditions exist:
(1) The project being constructed is essential to the City of Lubbockes ability to provide the necessary

i whether Owneres Observer has previously accepted the work through oversight or otherwise. If any work
should be covered without approval or consent of the Owner, it must, if requested by Owner or Owners Repre-
sentative, be uncovered for examination at Contractors expense. In the event that any part of the work is

the requirements of any such tests or approval but does not meet the requirements of the -contract documents

Neither observations by the Owner or Owner's Representative, nor inspections, tests, or approvals made by
Owner, Owner's Representative, or other persons authorized under this agreement to make such inspections,
tests, or approvals shall relieve the Contractor from his obligation to perform the work in accordance with
the requirements of the contract documents.
22. DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES

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 dispensed with. If they in-
" ' crease 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
-29-
case the Owner shall make such changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already done or mate -

method of doing the work and the type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise, these mat-
ters shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machin-

pensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and field office expense, and all other ele-
ments 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 he should receive
compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, he shall make written request to the Owners Repre-
sentative 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 in-
sists 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). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to arbi-
tration as herein below provided.

{ -35-
i
. shalt 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 that is caused by such stoppage shall be paid by Owner to Contractor.
37. 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 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 of-
fered 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.
38. 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 he shall be
liable for any and all claims for such damage on account of his failure to fully protect all adjacent
property. The Contractor agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Owner against any claim or claims
for damages due to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, arising or growing out of the perfor-
mance of this contract, but such indemnity shall not apply to any claim of any kind arising out of the exis-
tence or character of.the work.
39. PRICE FOR WORK
In consideration of the furnishing of all necessary labor, equipment and material and the completion 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 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 materials and all labor required for the
aforesaid work, also, 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, plans, contract
- - documents and requirements of Owner's Representative.
40. 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 shalt any certificate or payment be considered as acceptance of de-
fective 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 con-
tract. Acceptance by Contractor of final payment of the contract price shall constitute a waiver of all
claims against Owner which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.
-36-
POO On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an applica-
tion for partial payment. Owner's Representative shall review said application for partial payment and the
progress of the work made by the Contractor and if found to be in order shall prepare a certificate for par-
tial payment showing as completely as practical the total value of the work done by the Contractor up to and
including the last day of the preceding month; said statement shall also include the value of all sound ma-
teriats delivered on site of the work that are to be fabricated into the work.
The Owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the fifteenth day of the current month the total amount
of the Owner's Representative's Certificate of Partial Payment, less 5% of the amount thereof, which 5%
shall be retained until final payment, and further, less all previous payments and all further sums that may
be retained by Owner under the terms of this agreement. It is understood, however, that in case the whole
work be near to completion, and this fact is certified to by Owner's Representative and some unexpected and
some unusual delay occurs due to no fault or negligence on the part of the Contractor, the Owner may upon
written recommendation of Owner's Representative pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained per-
centage due Contractor.
42. FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
Within thirty-one (31) days after the Contractor has given the Owner's Representative written notice that
the work has been completed or substantially completed, the Owner's Representative and the Owner shall in-
spect the work and within said time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed in ac-
cordance with the contract documents, the Owner's Representative shall issue to the Owner and Contractor his
certificate of completion, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Owner within thirty-one (31) days to
issue a certificate of acceptance of the work to the Contractor.
43. FINAL PAYMENT
Upon the issuance of the certificate of completion, the Owner's Representative shall proceed to make final
measurement and prepare a final statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under
the terms of the agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner, who shall pay to the Contractor on or be-
fore the 31st day after the date of certificate of completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms of
this agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual obligations under the terms of this con-
tract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said performance by the Contractor. Neither the
certificate of acceptance nor the final payment, nor any provisions in the contract documents shall relieve
the Contractor of the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required in the special condi-
tions (if any) of this contract or required in the specifications made a part of this contract.
P* 44. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT FOR WORK
Contractor shall promptly remove from Owners' premises all materials condemned by the Owner's Representative
on account of failure to conform to the contract, whether actually incorporated in the work or not, and Con-
tractor shall at his own expense promptly replace such condemned materials with other materials conforming
n, to the requirements of the contract. Contractor shall also bear the expense of restoring'all work of other
contractors damaged by any such removal or replacement. If Contractor does not remove and replace any such
condemned work within a reasonable time after a written notice by the Owner or the Owner's Representative,
Owner may remove and replace it at Contractor's expense.
45. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT
17,
Neither the final payment nor certificate nor any provision in this contract shall relieve the Contractor of
responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for
any damage to other work resulting therefrom, which shalt appear within a period of one (1) year from the
l l ,
-37-
date of substantial completion. The Owner or the Owner's Representative shalt give notice of observed de-
fects with reasonable promptness.
46. PAYMENT WITHHELD
The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any -
certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from toss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied.
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating possible filing of claims.
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to subcontractors or for materials or labor.
(d) Damage to another contractor.
When the above grounds are removed, or the Contractor provides a surety bond satisfactory to the Owner,
which will protect the Owner in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of
them.
47. TIME OF FILING CLAIMS
It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the ^-
Contractor shalt be in writing and filed with the Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) days after the
Owner's Representative has given any directions, order or instruction to which the Contractor desires to
take exception. The Owners' Representative shalt reply to such written exceptions by the Contractor and _
render his final decision in writing. In case the Contractor should appeal from the decision of the Owner's
Representative, any demand for arbitration shall be filed with the Owners Representative and the Owner in
writing within ten (10) days after the date of delivery to Contractor of the final decision of the Owner's
Representative. It is further agreed that final acceptance of the work by the Owner and the acceptance by
the Contractor of the final payment shalt be mbar to any claim by either party, except where noted other-
wise in the contract documents.
48. ARBITRATION
ALL questions of dispute under this agreement shall be submitted to arbitration at the request of either
party to the dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbitrator, otherwise, there shall be three; one named
In writing by each party and the third chosen by the two arbiters selected; or if the arbiters fail to se
tett a third within ten (10) days, he shalt be chosen by the District Judge, 72nd Judicial District of
Texas. Each arbiter shall be a resident of the City of Lubbock. Should the party demanding arbitration
fait to name an arbiter within ten (10) days of the demand, his right to arbitrate shall lapse, and the de-
cision of the Owner's Representative shalt be final and binding on him. Should the other party fail to
choose an arbiter within ten (10) days, the Owners Representative shall appoint such arbiter. Should ei-
ther 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 shalt be binding on both parties to the
contract, unless either or both parties shalt appeal within ten (10) days from date of the award by the ar-
biters, and it is hereby agreed that each party shall have the right of appeal and all proceedings shalt be
according to and governed by Arbitration Statutes of Texas, being Article 224, et seq., Vernons Annotated --
Civil Statutes. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITERS UPON ANY QUESTION SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS CONTRACT
SHALL BE A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO ANY RIGHT OF LEGAL ACTION.
Y
r
.The arbiters, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized to award the party whose contention is sus-
tained, 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 ar-
biters 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 writ-
ing and shall not be open to objection on account of the form of proceedings or award.
49. ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
k In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written
4 notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the or-
�* dens of the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent with this contract, this Agreement, 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
under the contract for work may be held for use on the work
equipmenty 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 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, toots, materials and sup-
plies as said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor,
machinery, equipment, toots, 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 com-
pleted by the Contractor, then said Contractor shalt 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 com-
pteted 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 taw, at least twice in a newspa-
per 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 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 paragraph 42 hereinabove set forth, shalt 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 and his Surety, whereon the Contractor or
his Surety, or the Owner as the case may be, shalt pay the balance due as reflected by said statement within
30 days after the date of certificate of completion.
-39
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 arxi/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, toots, 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 any machin-
ery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the *jobsite and belong to persons other than
the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.
50. 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 equipment, and all
materials on the ground that have not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been incorpo-
rated into the work. 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 Con-
t rector at the prices stated in the 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 Con-
tractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which cannot be utilized. The Owner'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 ail other sums that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this
Agreement, and shall certify same 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 Agreement.
51. BONDS
The successful bidder shall be required to furnish a performance bond and payment bond in accordance with
Article 5160, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes in the amount of 100% of the total contract price, in the
event said contract price exceeds $25,000.00. If the contract price does not exceed 525,000.00, the statu-
tory bonds will not be required. All bonds, if required, shall be submitted on forms supplied by the Owner,
and executed by an approved Surety Company authorized to do business in the State of Texas. And it is fur-
ther agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until such bonds are so furnished.
52. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In the event special conditions are contained herein as part of the contract documents and said special con-
ditions conflict with any of the general conditions contained in this contract, then in such event the
special conditions shall control.
1:
53. 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 circumstance and the prosecution
of the same, or from unusual obstructions 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 expense.
4 54. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is, and shall remain, an independent contractor with full, complete and exclusive power and au-
thority to direct, supervise, and control his own employees and to determine the method of the performance
of the work covered hereby. The fact that the Owner or Owner's Representative shall have the right to ob-
serve Contractors work during his performance and to carry out the other prerogatives which are expressly
(; reserved to and vested in the Owner or Owner's Representative hereunder, is not intended to and shalt not at
any time change or effect the status of the Contractor as an independent contractor with respect to either
the Owner or Owners Representative or to the Contractors own employees or to any other person, firm, or
corporation.
55. CLEANING UP
i The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of debris caused by the work, and
at the completion of the work he shalt remove all such debris and also his tools, scaffolding, and surplus
r materials and shall leave the work room clean or its equivalent. The work shalt be left in good order and
condition. In case of dispute Owner may remove the debris and charge the cost to the Contractor.
