meeting the Quality Control requirements as described in the Scope of Work in Exhibit A.

the Local Agency, due to the failure of the Local Agency or its contractor to correct project conditions which
are unsafe for workers or for such periods as the State may deem necessary due to unsuitable weather, or for
conditions considered unsuitable for the prosecution of the Work, or for any other condition or reason deemed
by the State to be in the public interest.
3. If the Local Agency is the responsible party:
a. it shall appoint a qualified professional engineer, licensed in the State of Colorado, as the Local Agency
Project Engineer (LAPE), to perform that administration. The LAPE shall administer the project in
accordance with this contract, the requirements of the construction contract and applicable State
procedures.

authorized representatives, agrees to provide additional funds, subject to their availability and

federal-aid funds will be made available for the project. This paragraph also applies to projects
advertised and awarded by the State.

account), rather than by a competitive bidding process, the Local Agency will ensure that all such force
account work is accomplished in accordance with the pertinent State specifications and requirements

Work. Where actual costs are used, eligibility of cost items shall be evaluated for compliance with
48 CFR Part 31.
(3) Rental rates for publicly owned equipment will be determined in accordance with the State’s

designed by or are the responsibility of the Local Agency as identified in the Scope of Work in Exhibit A,
within the Work of this contract.

damages due to the State from the Local Agency is determined.
If after such termination it is determined, for any reason, that the Local Agency was not in default or that the
Local Agency’s action/inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination for convenience,
and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the contract had been terminated for

Contractor’s performance shall be subject to Evaluation and Review in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Contract, State law, including CRS §24-103.5-101, and State Fiscal Rules, Policies and Guidance. Evaluation and
Review of Contractor’s performance shall be part of the normal contract administration process and Contractor’s
performance will be systematically recorded in the statewide Contract Management System. Areas of Evaluation and
Review shall include, but shall not be limited to quality, cost and timeliness. Collection of information relevant to the
performance of Contractor’s obligations under this Contract shall be determined by the specific requirements of such
obligations and shall include factors tailored to match the requirements of Contractor’s obligations. Such performance

Evaluation, Review and Rating shall be rendered within 30 days of the end of the Contract term. Contractor shall be
notified following each performance Evaluation and Review, and shall address or correct any identified problem in a
timely manner and maintain work progress.

and Administration (Executive Director), upon request by the Department of Transportation and showing of good
cause, may debar Contractor and prohibit Contractor from bidding on future contracts. Contractor may contest the
