Contract between OWNER and CONTRACTOR is
amended to include the following agreement of the parties:
16.1. All claims, disputes and other matters in
question between OWNER and CONTRACTOR arising
out of or relating to the Contract Documents or the breach
thereof (except for claims which have been waived by the
making or acceptance of final payment as provided by
paragraph 14.15) will be decided by arbitration in
accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association then
obtaining, subject to the limitations of the Article 16. This
agreement so to arbitrate and any other agreement or
consent to arbitrate entered into in accordance herewith as
provided in this Article 16 will be specifically enforceable
under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction.
16.2. No demand for arbitration of any claim, dispute
or other matter that is required to be referred to
ENGINEER initially for decision in accordance with
paragraph 9.11 will be made until the earlier of (a) the date
on which ENGINEER has rendered a written decision or
(b) the thirty-first day after the parties have presented their
evidence to ENGINEER if a written decision has not been

be made later than thirty days after the date on which
ENGINEER has rendered a written decision in respect

initiated, such decision may be entered as evidence but will
not supersede the arbitration proceedings, except where the
decision is acceptable to the parties concerned. No demand
for arbitration of any written decision of ENGINEER
rendered in accordance with paragraph 9.10 will be made
later than ten days after the party making such demand has
delivered written notice of intention to appeal as provided
in paragraph 9.10.
16.3. Notice of the demand for arbitration will be
filed in writing with the other party to the Agreement and
with the American Arbitration Association, and a copy will

any such demand be made after the date when institution of
legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute
or other matter in question would be barred by the
applicable statute of limitations.
EJCDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition)
w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 9/99)
16.4. Except as provided in paragraph 16.5 below,
no arbitration arising out of or relating to the Contract
Documents shall include by consolidation, joinder or in any
other manner any other person or entity (including
ENGINEER, ENGINEER's Consultant and the officers,
directors, agents, employees or consultants of any of them)
who is not a party to this contract unless:
16.4.1. the inclusion of such other person or entity is
necessary if complete relief is to be afforded among
those who are already parties to the arbitration, and
16.4.2. such other person or entity is substantially
involved in a question of law or fact which is common
to those who are already parties to the arbitration and
which will arise in such proceedings, and
16.4.3. the written consent of the other person or
entity sought to be included and of OWNER and
CONTRACTOR has been obtained for such inclusion,
which consent shall make specific reference to this
paragraph; but no such consent shall constitute consent
to arbitration of any dispute not specifically described
in such consent or to arbitration with any party not
specifically identified in such consent.
16.5. Notwithstanding paragraph 16.4, if a claim,
dispute or other matter in question between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR involves the Work of a Subcontractor,
either OWNER or CONTRACTOR may join such
Subcontractor as a party to the arbitration between OWNER
and CONTRACTOR hereunder. CONTRACTOR shall
include in all subcontracts required by paragraph 6.11 a
specific provision whereby the Subcontractor consents to
being joined in an arbitration between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR involving the Work of such
Subcontractor. Nothing in this paragraph 16.5 nor in the
provision of such subcontract consenting to joinder shall

Subcontractor and against OWNER, ENGINEER or
ENGINEER's Consultants that does not otherwise exist.
16.6. The award rendered by the arbitrators will be
final, judgment may be entered upon it in any court having
jurisdiction thereof, and it will not be subject to
modification or appeal.
16.7. OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that they
shall first submit any and all unsettled claims,
counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question
between them arising out of or relating to the Contract
Documents or the breach thereof ("disputes"), to mediation
by the American Arbitration Association under the
Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American
Arbitration Association prior to either of them initiating
against the other a demand for arbitration pursuant to
paragraphs 16.1 through 16.6, unless delay in initiating
arbitration would irrevocably prejudice one of the parties.
The respective thirty and ten day time limits within which
to file a demand for arbitration as provided in paragraphs
16.2 and 16.3 above shall be suspended with respect to a
dispute submitted to mediation within those same
applicable time limits and shall remain suspended until ten
days after the termination of the mediation. The mediator

D. Large areas containing clumps, groves, or copses of protected trees which are naturally separated
from construction or land clearing areas, road rights -of -way and utility easements may be
"ribboned off," rather than erecting protective fencing around each tree as required above. This
may be accomplished by placing metal t-post stakes a maximum of thirty (30) feet apart and tying
ribbon or rope from stake -to -stake along the outside perimeters of such areas being cleared.
E. The temporary fencing shall be removed by the Contractor only after all heavy equipment has
been permanently withdrawn from the site.
3.02 Excavation

SCOPE
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for the
proposed basketball court at City Park. The City is planning to construct the court
southwest of the intersection of Bryan Avenue and Oak Street in Fort Collins,
Colorado. Current plans do not include lighting; however, lights may be installed
in the future.
We investigated the subsurface conditions in the vicinity of the proposed
basketball court to provide geotechnical design criteria and construction
recommendations for the court surfacing and future light standards. This report
presents the results of our field and laboratory studies and our conclusions,
opinions and recommendations regarding the proposed improvements. Our
conclusions are summarized below.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
1. The soils we encountered generally consisted of stiff to very stiff,
natural sandy clays over loose to medium dense clayey sand with
occasional lenses of sandy gravel.
2. Ground water was measured in our borings at depths of
approximately 11 feet to 12 feet below the existing ground surface.
3. The City of Fort Collins typical court surfacing section of 3 inches
asphalt over 4 inches of aggregate base course can be used for the
basketball court surfacing.
4. We believe the possible future light standards may be founded with
square or circular pads bearing on well -compacted fill or natural
soil. Geotechnical design criteria for footing foundations are
presented in the report.
5. Site and subsurface conditions can change over time. We
recommend we review this report when light standards are designed
to determine if revisions are warranted.

CITY PARK BASKETBALL COURT
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03408-125
SITE CONDITIONS
The proposed City Park basketball court site is located southwest of the
intersection of Bryan Avenue and Oak Street in Fort Collins, Colorado (Fig. 1).
The site is covered in turf. Large deciduous trees are growing to the north, east
and south of the site. Evidence of tree roots breaking the ground surface was not
observed at the site. The ground surface is relatively flat. City Park property
bounds the site. A concession building for the baseball field complex is located
approximately 75 feet north of the site. The fence line for a baseball field is
located approximately 45 feet west of the site. The Larimer County Canal No. 2 is
located approximately 80 feet east of the site. The canal was flowing at the time of
our investigation.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
We understand the City intends to construct a basketball court that will be
approximately 60 feet by 90 feet in plan dimensions. The City typically constructs
outdoor courts of this type with 3 inches of asphalt over 4 inches of aggregate
base course. The court is to be surrounded by a 1-foot wide concrete perimeter
beam. We understand light standards may be installed in the future around the
perimeter to provide lighting for the basketball court.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
We drilled borings at the approximate location of the northeast corner,
center and southwest corner of the proposed basketball court for a total of three
(3) borings. The approximate boring locations are shown on Fig. 1. The borings
were drilled with a 4-inch diameter, continuous flight auger and a truck -mounted
drill rig. The drilling operations were observed by our field engineer who logged
the soils and obtained samples for laboratory testing. Graphic logs of the soils
found in our borings including results of field penetration resistance tests are
shown on Figure 2. Results of our laboratory tests are presented on Figs. 3
through 5 and are summarized in Table I.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS 2
CITY PARK BASKETBALL COURT
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03408-125
IF
Our borings penetrated 6 inches of organic rich topsoil (TH-3) and 6 to 7
feet of stiff to very stiff, moist natural silty to sandy clay over loose to medium
dense clayey sand with occasional lenses of sandy gravel to the maximum depth
drilled of 20 feet. Ground water was encountered at depths 11 and 12 feet in two
of the borings during drilling. We do not believe ground water will affect
construction of the basketball court.
A sample of the natural sandy clay tested for swell/consolidation exhibited
no swell (0.0 percent). The sandy clays exhibited low plasticity and had 83 to 88
percent clay and silt size particles (passing the No. 200 sieve). Two samples of
clayey sand tested had 30 and 35 percent clay and silt size particles. The clayey
sands and occasional gravels are considered non -swelling.
COURT SURFACING
Subgrade samples were obtained from the three borings drilled on the site.
Summary logs of the borings and the results of field penetration resistance tests
are presented on Figure 2.
The near surface soils encountered in the borings were topsoil and sandy
clays. The pavement subgrade soil samples, based on the AASHTO classification
system, classified as A-6 and A-7-6 with group indices of 21 and 23. The subgrade
soils are considered to have fair to poor support characteristics based on typical
traffic loads and pavement design methods.
Laboratory testing of a sandy clay sample indicated a swell of 1.5 percent
after wetting under an applied pressure of 200 psf. We judge the overall swell
potential of the sandy clay soils we encountered to be low.
Two samples of sandy clay tested had liquid limits of 39 to 44 percent and
plasticity indices of 24 to 28 percent, with 83 to 88 percent silt and clay -sized
particles (passing the No. 200 sieve).
CITY OF FORT COLLINS 3
CITY PARK BASKETBALL COURT
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03408-125
Subgrade Preparation
Following removal of the turf and topsoil, the subgrade should be scarified
a minimum of 8 inches, moisture conditioned at optimum to 3 percent above
optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard
Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). We understand that 1 to 2 feet of fill
may be needed for grading. Fill should be constructed using on -site or similar
low- or non -swelling soils. Sand fill should be moisture treated to between two
percent below optimum and two percent above optimum moisture content and
clay fill should be moisture treated at optimum to 3 percent above optimum
moisture content, placed in thin lifts, and compacted to at least 95 percent of
standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). We recommend samples of
soils proposed for importing should be submitted to our office for approval prior
to hauling them to the site. We recommend that a representative of our firm
observe and test compaction of the scarified subgrade and any fill placed during
construction.
Pavement
We understand the City typically constructs outdoor courts of this type
with 3 inches of asphalt over 4 inches of aggregate base course. We believe the
proposed section is reasonable for the intended use of the pavement as court
surfacing. We understand the pavement will be subject to pedestrian use only
with no vehicle loads.
A primary cause of early pavement deterioration is water infiltration into
the pavement system. The addition of moisture usually results in softening of
base course and subgrade and the eventual failure of the pavement. We
recommend drainage be designed for rapid removal of surface runoff. The
concrete perimeter beam should be construction at an elevation that will be flush
with the court surfacing to allow for water to runoff of the court. Final grading of
the subgrade should be carefully controlled so that design cross -slope is
maintained and low spots in the subgrade that could trap water are eliminated.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS 4
CITY PARK BASKETBALL COURT
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03408-125
Seals should be provided between concrete perimeter beam and pavement and at
all joints to reduce moisture infiltration.
We have included construction recommendations for flexible pavement in
Appendix A. Routine maintenance, such as sealing and repair of cracks annually
is necessary to achieve the long-term life of an asphalt pavement system. If the
design and construction recommendations cannot be followed, or anticipated
loads change considerably, we should be contacted to review our
recommendations.
LIGHT STANDARD FOUNDATIONS
Ground conditions and characteristics in the area of the basketball court
consist of stiff to very stiff, sandy clay over loose to medium dense clayey sand in
the near surface deposits. We considered foundation alternatives for the future
light standards that included conventional footing foundations; shallow, drilled
footings; and drilled friction piers. A deep foundation system will encounter sand,
gravel, and ground water that will make construction of piers difficult or
impractical. Design criteria and construction recommendations for conventional
footings and drilled footings are presented below.
Site and subsurface conditions can change over time, depending on
changing conditions in other areas. If design and construction of the light
standards are performed at a later date, we should review the recommendations in
this report to determine if revisions are warranted.
Footings
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered, we believe the light
standards can be founded with footings or footing pads bearing on the natural
near surface soils. Footings or footing pads bearing on the near surface clays
and sands can be designed for a maximum soil bearing pressure of 2,500 psf.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS 5
CITY PARK BASKETBALL COURT
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03408-125
IF
Footing bearing elevation should be a minimum of 30 inches below lowest
adjacent grade for frost protection. Footings or pads should have a minimum size
of 16 inches by 16 inches. These are minimum dimensions and larger footings
may be required to support foundation and wind loads. Alternatively, the light
standards could be founded using drilled footings or short piers that are at least
18 inches in diameter and 30 inches deep. Concrete could be poured "neat' into
the drilled excavations. Drilled footings would require less removal of the existing
slab -on -grade than conventional "form and pour" techniques. The project
structural engineer should design steel reinforcement for footings.
Prior to the placement of reinforcing steel or concrete, the base and sides
of the excavation should be clear of debris, trash, and loose soil. Loose soil
should be removed to expose firm natural soil or compacted in place to a
minimum 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined in accordance
with ASTM D 698. Excavations should not remain open for more than 2 days. Soil
within the excavation should remain in a moist condition. Moisture conditioning
may be required prior to the placement of concrete.
A representative of CTL I Thompson should observe the completed
foundation excavations prior to placing the forms to verify subsurface conditions
are as anticipated from our borings.
Lateral loads applied to footings or pads can be resisted by friction
between the concrete at the base of the footing or pad and the ground and by the
passive pressure of densely compacted backfill and/or undisturbed ground
against the sides of a footing or pad provided that soil will not be removed over
the life of the structure. A friction coefficient of 0.35 can be used between the
foundation concrete and the natural soil or backfill. The passive earth pressure
against a footing or mat can be calculated using an equivalent fluid density of 270
pcf for undisturbed soil or engineered fill.

ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Fill
We anticipated that minor amounts of fill might be necessary in areas
where existing grades have been disturbed by removal turf and topsoil. The area
to receive fill should be scarified, moisture -conditioned at optimum to 3 percent
above optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of
standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). The near surface, on -site
soils can be used as engineered fill providing they are free from organics, trash,
or other deleterious materials. If imported fill is needed, the soils should be low
swelling, sandy clays similar to the on -site soils, or granular soils. Highly plastic
and swelling clays and claystone are not desirable as imported fill because they
may cause problems associated with expansive soils. A sample of soils proposed
for import for fill should be submitted to our office for classification and approval
prior to hauling them to the site. We believe imported clay fill should be placed at
high moisture content to reduce the swell potential. Imported clay fills should be
moisture -treated to between optimum and 3 percent above optimum moisture
content, and sand fill or on -site soils within ±2 percent of optimum moisture
content. Fills should be compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor
maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). The placement and compaction of
engineered fill should be observed and tested by our representative.
Excavations
Footing excavations in the near surface soils can be performed with
conventional excavators or drilling equipment. Stiff to very stiff sandy clays will
likely be the predominant soils encountered during construction. According to
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) criteria, the sandy clay
we encountered will classify as Type B soil, allowing excavation slopes of 1:1
(horizontal to vertical). The contractor's "Competent Person" on site should
identify the soils encountered in excavations and refer to OSHA standards to
determine appropriate slopes.

Spoils piles should not be placed immediately adjacent to the excavations.
We recommend a distance back from the edge of the trench at least as great as
the depth of the trench. The ground surface surrounding the excavation should
be sloped to direct runoff away from the excavation.
We recommend excavation backfill be placed in thin, loose lifts, moisture
conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and compacted to at
least 98 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698) in areas
below the court surfacing. In unpaved, undeveloped areas, excavation backfill
should be compacted to at least 90 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry
density (ASTM D 698). The placement and compaction of fill and backfill should
be observed and tested by a representative of our firm during construction.
Concrete that comes into contact with soils can be subject to sulfate
attack. We measured water-soluble sulfate concentrations in one sample from
this site. The concentration measured was 0.009 percent. Sulfate concentrations
less than 0.1 percent indicate Class 0 exposure to sulfate attack for concrete that
comes into contact with the subsoils, according to the American Concrete
Institute (ACI). For this level of sulfate concentration, ACI indicates any type of
cement can be used for concrete that comes into contact with the subsoils. In our
experience, superficial damage may occur to the exposed surfaces of highly
permeable concrete, even though sulfate levels are relatively low. To control this
risk and to resist freeze -thaw deterioration, the water-to-cementitious material
ratio should not exceed 0.50 for concrete in contact with soils that are likely to
stay moist due to surface drainage or high water tables. Concrete should be air
entrained.
LIMITATIONS
We based the discussions in this report on our understanding of the
proposed construction and planned structures; conditions disclosed by

exploratory drilling; review of maps, plans, and aerial photographs; site
observation; results of our laboratory tests; engineering analysis of field and
laboratory data; and our experience.
Our borings were located to provide us the needed picture of the
underground based on plans known at the time of our investigation. Variations
between the borings will occur.
A representative of our firm should be present during construction to
observe and test fill and backfill placement and foundation excavations. We
believe this investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with that level of
care and skill ordinarily used by geotechnical engineers practicing in this area at
this time. No warranty, express or implied, is made. If we can be of further
service in discussing the contents of this report or analyses of the influence of
subsurface conditions on the design of the proposed development, utilities,
structures and streets, please call. ,

CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03408-125
IF
FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Experience has shown that construction methods can have a significant
effect on the life and serviceability of a pavement system. We recommend the
proposed pavement be constructed in the following manner:
1. The subgrade should be stripped of organic matter, scarified,
moisture treated, and compacted. Clay soils should be moisture
treated to 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content and
compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry
density (ASTM D 698, AASHTO T 99). Sand soils should be moisture
conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum and compacted to
similar minimum density.
2. Utility trenches and all subsequently placed fill should be properly
compacted and tested prior to paving. As a minimum, fill should be
compacted to 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density.
3. If areas of soft or wet subgrade are encountered, the material should
be sub -excavated and replaced with properly compacted structural
backfill. Where extensively soft, yielding subgrade is encountered,
we recommend a representative of our office inspect the excavation.
4. Aggregate base course should be laid in thin, loose lifts, moisture
treated to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content, and
compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum modified Proctor dry
density (ASTM D 1557, AASHTO T 180).
5. Asphaltic concrete should be hot plant -mixed material compacted to
at least 95 percent of maximum Marshall density. The temperature
at laydown time should be near 235 degrees F. The maximum
compacted lift should be 3.0 inches and joints should be staggered.
6. The subgrade preparation and the placement and compaction of all
pavement material should be observed and tested. Compaction
criteria should be met prior to the placement of the next paving lift.

may be adjusted from time to time as provided below:
6.6.1. CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER
for acceptance (to the extent indicated in
paragraph 2.9) proposed adjustments in the progress

made by a Change Order or Written Amendment in
accordance with Article 12.
6.7. Substitutes and "Or -Equal "Items:
6.7.1. Whenever an item of material or equipment is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by
using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a
particular Supplier, the specification or description is
intended to establish the type, function and quality
required. Unless the specification or description
12 E.ICDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8(1990 Edition)
w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 4/2000)
contains or is followed by words reading that no like,
equivalent or "or -equal" item or no substitution is
permitted, other items of material or equipment or
material or equipment of other Suppliers may be
accepted by ENGINEER under the following
circumstances:
6.7.1.1. "Or -Equal": If in ENGINEER's sole
discretion an item of material or equipment
proposed by CONTRACTOR is functionally
equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that
no change in related Work will be required, it may
be considered by ENGINEER as an "or -equal"
item, in which case review and approval of the
proposed item may, in ENGINEER's sole
discretion, be accomplished without compliance
with some or all of the requirements for
acceptance of proposed substitute items.
6.7.1.2. Substitute Items: If in ENGINEER's sole
discretion an item of material or equipment
proposed by CONTRACTOR does not qualify as
an "or -equal" item under subparagraph 6.7.1.1, it
will be considered a proposed substitute item.
CONTRACTOR shall submit sufficient
information as provided below to allow
ENGINEER to determine that the item of material
or equipment proposed is essentially equivalent to
that named and an acceptable substitute therefor.
The procedure for review by the ENGINEER will
include the following as supplemented in the
General Requirements and as ENGINEER may
decide is appropriate under the circumstances.
Requests for review of proposed substitute items
of material or equipment will not be accepted by
ENGINEER from anyone other than
CONTRACTOR. If CONTRACTOR wishes to
furnish or use a substitute item of material or
equipment, CONTRACTOR shall first make
written application to ENGINEER for acceptance
thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute will
perform adequately the functions and achieve the
results called for by the general design, be similar
in substance to that specified and be suited to the
same use as that specified. The application will
state the extent, if any, to which the evaluation
and acceptance of the proposed substitute will
prejudice CONTRACTOR's achievement of
Substantial Completion on time, whether or not
acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work
will require a change in any of the Contract
Documents (or in the provisions of any other
direct contract with OWNER for work on the
Project) to adapt the design to the proposed
substitute and whether or not incorporation or use
of the substitute in connection with the Work is
subject to payment of any license fee or royalty.
All variations of the proposed substitute from that
specified will be identified in the application and
available maintenance, repair and replacement
service will be indicated. The application will
also contain an itemized estimate of all costs or
credits that will result directly or indirectly from
acceptance of such substitute, including costs of
redesign and claims of other contractors affected
by the resulting change, all of which will be
considered by ENGINEER in evaluating the
proposed substitute. ENGINEER may require
CONTRACTOR to furnish additional data about
the proposed substitute.
6.7.1.3. CONTRACTOR's Expense: All data to be
provided by CONTRACTOR in support of any
proposed "or -equal" or substitute item will be at
CONTRACTOR' expense.
6.7.2. Substitute Construction Methods or
Procedures: If a specific means, method, technique,
sequence or procedure of construction is shown or
indicated in and expressly required by the Contract
Documents, CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a
substitute means, method, technique, sequence or
procedure of construction acceptable to ENGINEER.
CONTRACTOR shall submit sufficient information to
allow ENGINEER, in ENGINEER's sole discretion, to
determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to
that expressly called for by the Contract Documents.
The procedure for review by ENGINEER will be
similar to that provided in subparagraph 6.7.1.2.
6.7.3. Engineer's Evaluation: ENGINEER will be
allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate
each proposal or submittal made pursuant to
paragraphs 6.7.1.2 and 6.7.2. ENGINEER will be the
sole judge of acceptability. No "or -equal" or
substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without
ENGINEER's prior written acceptance which will be
evidenced by either a Change Order or an approved
Shop Drawing. OWNER may require
CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR's
expense a special performance guarantee or other
surety with respect to any "or -equal" or substitute.
ENGINEER will record time required by
ENGINEER and ENGINEER's Consultants in
evaluating substitutes proposed or submitted by
CONTRACTOR pursuant to paragraphs 6.7.1.2 and
6.7.2 and in making changes in the Contract
Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct
contract with OWNER for work on the Project)
occasioned thereby. Whether or not ENGINEER
accepts a substitute item so proposed or submitted by
CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse
OWNER for the charges of ENGINEER and
ENGINEER's Consultants for evaluating each such
proposed substitute item.
6_8. Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers and
Others:
6.8.1. CONTRACTOR shall not employ any
Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization
(including those acceptable to OWNER and
ENGINEER as indicated in paragraph 6.8.2), whether
initially or as a substitute, against whom OWNER or
ENGINEER may have reasonable objection.
CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any
Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization
to furnish or perform any of the Work against whom
CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.

persons or organization on the Work unless prior
written approval is obtained from OWNER and
ENGINEER. No acceptance by OWNER or
ENGINEER of any such Subcontractor, Supplier or
other person or organization shall constitute a waiver
of any right of OWNER or ENGINEER to reject
defective Work.
6.9.1. CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to
OWNER and ENGINEER for all acts and omissions
of the Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons
and organizations performing or furnishing any of the
Work under a direct or indirect contract with
CONTRACTOR just as CONTRACTOR is
responsible for CONTRACTOR's own acts and
omissions. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall
create for the benefit of any such Subcontractor,
Supplier or other person or organization any
contractual relationship between OWNER or
ENGINEER and any such Subcontractor, Supplier or
other person or organization, nor shall it create any
obligation on the part of OWNER or ENGINEER to
pay or to see to the payment of any moneys due any
such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or
organization except as may otherwise be required by
Laws and Regulations. OWNER or ENGINEER may
furnish to any subcontractor, supplier or other person
or organization evidence of amounts paid to
CONTRACTOR in accordance with

Subcontractors or Suppliers or delineating the Work to be
performed by any specific trade.
6.11. All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a
Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an
appropriate agreement between CONTRACTOR and the
Subcontractor or Supplier which specifically binds the
Subcontractor or Supplier to the applicable terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of

and making good any damage to property.
11.5.6. Other overhead or general expense costs of
any kind and the costs of any item not specifically and
expressly included in paragraph 11.4.
11.6. The CONTRACTOR's fee allowed to
CONTRACTOR for overhead and profit shall be
determined as follows:
11.6.1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or
11.6.2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee
based on the following percentages of the various
portions of the Cost of the Work:
11.6.2.1. for costs incurred under
paragraphs 11.4.1 and 11.4.2, the
CONTRACTOR's fee shall be fifteen percent;
11.6.2.2. for costs incurred under
paragraph 11.4.3, the CONTRACTOR's fee shall
be five percent;
11.6.2.3. where one or more tiers of
subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work
plus a fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the
intent of paragraphs 11.4.1, 11.4.2, 11.4.3 and
11.6.2 is that the Subcontractor who actually
performs or furnishes the Work, at whatever tier,
will be paid a fee of fifteen percent of the costs
incurred by such Subcontractor under paragraphs
11.4.1 and 11.4.2 and that any higher tier
Subcontractor and CONTRACTOR will each be
paid a fee of we rereent of the amount .aid .

by CONTRACTOR to OWNER for any change
which results in a net decrease in cost will be the
amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a
deduction in CONTRACTOR's fee by an amount
equal to five percent of such net decrease; and
11.6.2.6. when both additions and credits are
involved in any one change, the adjustment in
CONTRACTOR's fee shall be computed on the
basis of the net change in accordance with
paragraphs 11.6.2.1 through 11.6.2.5, inclusive.
11.7. Whenever the cost of any Work is to be
25
determined pursuant to paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5,
CONTRACTOR will establish and maintain records
thereof in accordance with generally accepted accounting
practices and submit in form acceptable to ENGINEER an
itemized cost breakdown together with supporting data.
Cash Allowances:
11.8. It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included
in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the
Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered
to be furnished and performed for such sums as may be
acceptable to OWNER and ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR
agrees that:
11.8.1. the allowances include the cost to
CONTRACTOR (less any applicable trade discounts)
of materials and equipment required by the allowances
to be delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes; and
11.8.2. CONTRACTOR's costs for unloading and
handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead,
profit and other expenses contemplated for the
allowances have been included in the Contract Price

additional payment on account of any of the foregoing
will be valid.
Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be
issued as recommended by ENGINEER to reflect actual
amounts due CONTRACTOR on account of Work covered
by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be
correspondingly adjusted.
11.9. Unit Price Work:
11.9.1. Where the Contract Documents provide that all
or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially
the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all
Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the
established unit prices for each separately identified
item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity
of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The
estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are
not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of
comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract
Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and
classifications of Unit Price Work performed by
CONTRACTOR will be made by ENGINEER in
accordance with paragraph 9.10.
11.9.2. Each unit price will be deemed to include an
amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be adequate
to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for
each separately identified item.
11.9.3.OWNER or CONTRACTOR may make a
claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price in
accordance with Article 11 if:
11.9.3.1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price
Work performed by CONTRACTOR differs
materially and significantly from the estimated
quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement;
26 EJCDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition)
w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 4/2000)
and
11.9.3.2. there is no corresponding adjustment
with respect to any other item of Work; and
11.9.3.3. if CONTRACTOR believes that
CONTRACTOR is entitled to an increase in
Contract Price as a result of having incurred
additional expense or OWNER believes that
OWNER is entitled to a decrease in Contract Price
and the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount of any such increase or decrease.
11.9.3.4. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that
the OWNER has the right to add or delete items in
the Bid or change quantities at OWNER'S sole
discretion without affecting the Contract Price of
any remaining item so Ions as the deletion or
addition does not exceed twenty-five percent of
the original total Contract Price.

claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice
of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be
delivered within sixty days after such occurrence (unless
ENGINEER allows additional time to ascertain more
accurate data in support of the claim) and shall be
accompanied by the claimant's written statement that the
adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the

the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in
the Contract Times (or Milestones) shall be determined by
ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 9.11 if
OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree.

Milestones) will be valid if not submitted in accordance
with the requirements of this paragraph 12.1.

be extended in an amount equal to time lost due to such
delay if a claim is made therefor as provided in
paragraph 12.1. Delays beyond the control of
CONTRACTOR shall include, but not be limited to, acts
or neglect by OWNER, acts or neglect of utility owners or
other contractors performing other work as contemplated
by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather
conditions or acts of God. Delays attributable to and

shall be at CONTRACTOR'S expense unless
CONTRACTOR has given ENGINEER timely notice of
CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and
ENGINEER has not acted with reasonable promptness in
response to such notice.
Uncovering Work:
13.8. If any Work is covered contrary to the written
request of ENGINEER, it must, if requested by
ENGINEER, be uncovered for ENGINEER's observation
and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense.
13.9. If ENGINEER considers it necessary or advisable

inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at
ENGINEER's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise
make available for observation, inspection or testing as
ENGINEER may require, that portion of the Work in
question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and
equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective,

of OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of
CONTRACTOR or any surety or other party.
Correction or Removal of Defective Work:
13.11. If required by ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall
promptly, as directed, either correct all defective Work,
whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the

instructions: (i) correct such defective Work, or, if it has
been rejected by OWNER, remove it from the site and
replace it with Work that is not defective, and (ii)
satisfactorily correct or remove and replace any damage
to other Work or the work of others resulting therefrom.

28 E.ICDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition)
w/CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 4/2000)
Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected,
removed or replaced under this paragraph 13.12, the
correction period hereunder with respect to such Work
will be extended for an additional period of one yeti
two years after such correction or removal and
replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
Acceptance of Defective Work:
13.13. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and
replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to
ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment, also
ENGINEER) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so.
CONTRACTOR shall pay all claims, costs, losses and
damages attributable to OWNER's evaluation of and
determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to
be approved by ENGINEER as to reasonableness). If any
such acceptance occurs prior to ENGINEER's
recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be
issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and
OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the
Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to
the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor
as provided in Article 11. If the acceptance occurs after
such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be paid
by CONTRACTOR to OWNER.
OWNER May Correct Defective Work:
13.14. If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time
after written notice from ENGINEER to correct defective
Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required
by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 13.11, or if
CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR fails
to comply with any other provision of the Contract
Documents, OWNER may, after seven days' written
notice to CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such
deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under
this paragraph OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. In
connection with such corrective and remedial action,
OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all or part of
the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and
suspend CONTRACTOR's services related thereto, take
possession of CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances,
construction equipment and machinery at the site and
incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment
stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid
CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere.
CONTRACTOR shall allow OWNER, OWNER's
representatives, agents and employees, OWNER's other
contractors and ENGINEER and ENGINEER's
Consultants access to the site to enable OWNER to
exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All
claims, costs, losses and damages incurred or sustained by
OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be
charged against CONTRACTOR and a Change Order will
be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and
OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the
Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to
the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor
as provided in Article 11. Such claims, costs, losses and
damages will include but not be limited to all costs of
repair or replacement of work of others destroyed or
damaged by correction, removal or replacement of
CONTRACTOR's defective Work. CONTRACTOR shall
not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times (or
Milestones) because of any delay in performance of the
Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's
rights and remedies hereunder.
ARTICLE 14—PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND
COMPLETION
Schedule of Values:
14.1. The schedule of values established as provided in
paragraph 2.9 will serve as the basis for progress payments
and will be incorporated into a form of Application for
Payment acceptable to ENGINEER. Progress payments on
account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of
units completed.
Application for Progress Payment:
14.2. At least twenty days before the date established for
each progress payment (but not more often than once a
month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for
review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by
CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as of the
date of the Application and accompanied by such
supporting documentation as is required by the Contract
Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of
materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but
delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another
location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment
shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other
documentation warranting that OWNER has received the
materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and
evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by
appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to
protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which will be
satisfactory to OWNER. The amount of retainage with
respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the
Agreement. Any funds that are withheld by the OWNER
shall not be subject to substitution by the CONTRACTOR
with securities or any arrangements involving an escrow or
custodianship By executing the application for payment
form the CONTRACTOR expressly waives his right to the
benefits of Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 24-91-101
et sea.
CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title:
14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title
to all Work, materials and equipment covered by any
Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the
Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time
of payment free and clear of all Liens.
Review of Applicationsfor Progress Payment:
14.4. ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of
each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a
EXEC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition)
w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 42000)
recommendation of payment and present the Application
to OWNER, or return the Application to CONTRACTOR
indicating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to
recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR
may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application. Ten days after presentation of the
Application for Payment to OWNER with ENGINEER's
recommendation, the amount recommended will (subject
to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7)
become due and when due will be paid by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR.
14.5. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment
requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a
representation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based on
ENGINEER's on -site observations of the executed Work
as an experienced and qualified design professional and on
ENGINEER's review of the Application for Payment and
the accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of
ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief:
14.5.1. the Work has progressed to the point
indicated,
14.5.2. the quality of the Work is generally in
accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to
an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole
prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results
of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract
Documents, to a final determination of quantities and
classifications for Unit Price Work under
paragraph 9.10, and to any other qualifications stated
in the recommendation), and
14.5.3. the conditions precedent to
CONTRACTOR's being entitled to such payment
appear to have been fulfilled insofar as it is
ENGINEER's responsibility to observe the Work.
However, by recommending any such payment
ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that: (i) exhaustive or continuous on -site
inspections have been made to check the quality or the
quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities
specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract
Documents or (ii) that there may not be other matters or
issues between the parties that might entitle
CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or
entitle OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.
14.6. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment,
including final payment, shall not mean that ENGINEER
is responsible for CONTRACTOR's means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or
the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or
for any failure of CONTRACTOR to comply with Laws
and Regulations applicable to the furnishing or
performance of Work, or for any failure of
CONTRACTOR to perform or furnish Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
14.7. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole
or any part of any payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it
would be incorrect to make the representations to
29
OWNER referred to in paragraph 14.5. ENGINEER may
also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence or the results of
subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment
previously recommended, to such extent as may be
necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER
from loss because:
14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has
been damaged requiring correction or replacement,
14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by
Written Amendment or Change Order,
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct
defective Work or complete Work in accordance with
paragraph 13.14,or
14.7.4. ENGINEER has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.4 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount
recommended by ENGINEER because:
14.7.5. claims have been made against OWNER on
account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing
of the Work,
14.7.6. Liens have been filed in connection with the
Work, except where CONTRACTOR has delivered a
specific Bond satisfactory to OWNER to secure the
satisfaction and discharge of such Liens,
14.7.7. there are other items entitling OWNER to a set-
off against the amount recommended, or
14.7.8. OWNER has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
paragraphs 14.7.1 through 14.7.3 or paragraphs 15.2.1
through 15.2.4 inclusive;
but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate
written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the
reasons for such action and promptly pay CONTRACTOR
the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed
to by OWNER and CONTRACTOR, when
CONTRACTOR corrects to OWNER's satisfaction the
reasons for such action.
Substantial Completion:
14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work
ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify
OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work
is substantially complete (except for items specifically
listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that
ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion.
Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection
of the Work to determine the status of completion. If
ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially
complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in
writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER
30 EJCDC GENERAL CONDITIONS I910-8 (1990 Edition)
w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICAJ IONS (REV 4/2000)
considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER
will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate
of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of
Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the
certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven
days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which
to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any
provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after
considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that
the Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will
within fourteen days after submission of the tentative
certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing,
stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of
OWNER's objections, ENGINEER considers the Work
substantially complete, ENGINEER will within said
fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial
Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be
completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the
tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after
consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the
time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial
Completion ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division
of responsibilities pending final payment between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security,
operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance
and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform
ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER's issuing the
definitive certificate of Substantial Completion,
ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be binding
on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude

Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow
CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct
items on the tentative list.
Partial Utilization:

substantially completed part of the Work, which: (i) has
specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or
(ii) OWNER, ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR agree

Work that can be used by OWNER for its intended
purpose without significant interference with
CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the
Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial
Completion of all the Work subject to the following:
14.10.1.OWNER at any time may request
CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use
any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to
be ready for its intended use and substantially
complete. If CONTRACTOR agrees that such part of
the Work is substantially complete, CONTRACTOR
will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that such
part of the Work is substantially complete and request
ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial
Completion for that part of the Work.
CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and
ENGINEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers
any such part of the Work ready for its intended use
and substantially complete and request ENGINEER to
issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that
part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either
such request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and
ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of
the Work to determine its status of completion. If
ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work to
be substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify
OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the
reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of
the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions
of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to
certification of Substantial Completion of that part of
the Work and the division of responsibility in respect
thereof and access thereto.
14.10.2. No occupancy or separate operation of part
of the Work will be accomplished prior to compliance
with the requirements of paragraph 5.15 in respect of

corrections to the satisfaction of ENGINEER and delivered
in accordance with the Contract Documents all
maintenance and operating instructions, schedules,
guarantees, Bonds, certificates or other evidence of
insurance required by paragraph 5.4, certificates of
inspection, marked -up record documents (as provided in
paragraph 6.19) and other documents, CONTRACTOR

Contract Documents, including but not limited to the
evidence of insurance required by subparagraph 5.4.13,
(ii) consent of the surety, if any, to final payment, and
(iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers

receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment
for which a Lien could be filed, and (ii) all payrolls,

any Lien. Releases or waivers of liens and the consent of
the surety to finalize payment are to be submitted on
forms conforming to the format of the OWNER'S standard
forms bound in the Project manual
Final Payment and Acceptance:
14.13. If, on the basis of ENGINEER's observation of
the Work during construction and final inspection, and
ENGINEER's review of the final Application for Payment
and accompanying documentation as required by the
Contract Documents, ENGINEER is satisfied that the
Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR's other
obligations under the Contract Documents have been
fulfilled, ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of
the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing
ENGINEER's recommendation of payment and present
the Application to OWNER for payment. At the same
time ENGINEER will also give written notice to OWNER
and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject
to the provisions of paragraph 14.15. Otherwise,
ENGINEER will return the Application to
CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing the reasons for
refusing to recommend final payment, in which case
CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and
resubmit the Application. Thirty days after presentation to
OWNER of the Application and accompanying
documentation, in appropriate form and substance and
with ENGINEER's recommendation and notice of
acceptability, the amount recommended by ENGINEER
will become due and will be paid by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR subiect to paragraph 17.6 2 of these

ENGINEER so confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of
CONTRACTOR's final Application for Payment and
recommendation of ENGINEER, and without terminating
the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the
remaining balance to be held by OWNER for Work not
fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage
stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been
fumished as required in paragraph 5.1, the written consent
of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be
submitted by CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER with the
Application for such payment. Such payment shall be
made under the terms and conditions governing final
payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of
claims.
Waiver of Claims:
14.15. The making and acceptance of final payment will
constitute:
14.15.1. a waiver of all claims by OWNER against
CONTRACTOR, except claims arising fi-om
unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing after
31
final inspection pursuant to paragraph 14.11, from
failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the
terms of any special guarantees specified therein, or
from CONTRACTOR's continuing obligations under
the Contract Documents; and
14.15.2. A waiver of all claims by CONTRACTOR
against OWNER other than those previously made in
writing and still unsettled.

under paragraph 2.9 as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to paragraph 6.6);
15.2.2. if CONTRACTOR disregards Laws or

surety, if any) seven days' written notice and to the extent
permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services
of CONTRACTOR, exclude CONTRACTOR from the site
and take possession of the Work and of all
CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction
equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to

conversion), incorporate in the Work all materials and
equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid
32 E.ICDCGENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8(1990Edition)
w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 4/2000)
CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere, and
finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such
case CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid
balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs,
losses and damages sustained by OWNER arising out of
or resulting from completing the Work such excess will be
paid to CONTRACTOR. If such claims, costs, losses and
damages exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR
shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such claims, costs,
losses and damages incurred by OWNER will be reviewed
by ENGINEER as to their reasonableness and when so
approved by ENGINEER incorporated in a Change Order,
provided that when exercising any rights or remedies
under this paragraph OWNER shall not be required to
obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.

terminated by OWNER, the termination will not affect
any rights or remedies of OWNER against
CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter
accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due
CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release
CONTRACTOR from liability.
15.4. Upon seven days' written notice to
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER, OWNER may,
without cause and without prejudice to any other right or
remedy of OWNER, elect to terminate the Agreement. In
such case, CONTRACTOR shall be paid (without
duplication of any items):

15.4.2. for expenses sustained prior to the effective
date of termination in performing services and
furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required
by the Contract Documents in connection with
uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for
overhead and profit on such expenses;
15.4.3. for all claims, costs, losses and damages
incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with
Subcontractors, Suppliers and others; and
15.4.4. for reasonable expenses directly attributable
to termination.
CONTRACTOR shall not be paid on account of loss of
anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss
arising out of or resulting from such termination.
CONTRACTOR May Stop Work or Terminate:
15.5. If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the
Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety days
by OWNER or under an order of court or other public
authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application
for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted or
OWNER fails for thirty days to pay CONTRACTOR any
sum finally determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR
may, upon seven days' written notice to OWNER and
ENGINEER, and provided OWNER or ENGINEER do not
remedy such suspension or failure within that time,
terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER
payment on the same terms as provided in paragraph 15.4.

to any other right or remedy, if ENGINEER has failed to
act on an Application for Payment within thirty days after it
is submitted, or OWNER has failed for thirty days to pay
CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due,
CONTRACTOR may upon seven days' written notice to
OWNER and ENGINEER stop the Work until payment of
all such amounts due CONTRACTOR, including interest
thereon. The provisions of this paragraph 15.5 are not
intended to preclude CONTRACTOR from making claim
under Articles 11 and 12 for an increase in Contract Price
or Contract Times or otherwise for expenses or damage
directly attributable to CONTRACTOR'S stopping Work as
permitted by this paragraph.

disputes between them that may arise under this
Agreement, such dispute resolution method and procedure,

Resolution Agreement", to be attached hereto and made a
part hereof. If no such agreement on the method and
procedure for resolving such disputes has been reached,
and subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9.10, 9.11 and
