below, by and between THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, a
Municipal Corporation, hereinafter referred to as OWNER, and

WITNESSETH:
In consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations herein
expressed, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as
follows:
ARTICLE 1. WORK

Work as specified or indicated in the Contract Documents. The Project
for which the Work under the Contract Documents may be the whole or
only a part is generally defined as Water, Wastewater Treatment and
Site Infrastructure Design and Construction Services Contractor; a
Work Order for a specific portion of the Work, and incorporating the
Notice of Award for that portion of the Work, may be agreed upon in
writing by the parties from time to time. A blank sample of a Work
Order & Notice of Award is attached hereto as Section 00523,
consisting of two (2) pages, and incorporated herein by this
reference. Each signed, executed Work Order & Notice of Award is
incorporated into the Contract Documents by this reference.
1.2. Work to be Performed. Each Work Order shall include a
description and specification of the work to be performed; the
location and time for initiation and performance of the work; the
amount of and procedures for payment, as specified in Article 5 of
this Agreement; any labor, materials, or support to be supplied by the
City; and any other special circumstances relating to the performance
of work.
1.3. Work Orders Planned. The Project will include Work in
accordance with General Pipeline Construction and Emergency Pipeline
Repair. However, pursuant to this Agreement and the Contract
Documents, OWNER reserves the right to alter or amend the scope of
work of any specific Work Order as needed.
1.4. Work Order Authorization. The only work authorized under
this Agreement is that which is performed after CONTRACTOR receives
Notice to Proceed from OWNER, pursuant to a signed Work Order. The
Notice to Proceed, Section 00530, shall be incorporated into each
executed Work Order. However, in emergency circumstances, as required
to protect the public health, safety, or welfare, oral work requests
may be issued by OWNER. Oral requests for emergency actions will be
AGREEMENT 00520- Page 1
confirmed by issuance of a written Work Order within two (2) working
days; however, nothing in this paragraph may be construed to alter or
eliminate CONTRACTOR's responsibilities pursuant to paragraph 6.23 of
the General Conditions.
1.5. Changes in the Work. OWNER may, at any time during the
term of a particular Work Order and without invalidating the
Agreement, make changes within the general scope of the particular
work assigned and CONTRACTOR agrees to perform such changed work,
pursuant to the provisions of the Contract Documents. OWNER reserves
the right to independently contract for any services, rather than
issuing work to CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing within
this Agreement shall obligate OWNER to have any particular service
performed by CONTRACTOR.
1.6. Bonds & Certificates. Pursuant to the Contract Documents
and Article 5 of the General Conditions, each Work Order & Notice of
Award shall specify the requirements for Performance and Payment
Bonds. CONTRACTOR shall provide insurance required pursuant to the
Contract Documents prior to OWNER's execution of any Work Order, and,
as may be required at the sole option of OWNER, prior to the Work
Order Notice to Proceed.
ARTICLE 2. ENGINEER
2.1. ENGINEER. Each portion of the Project to be performed by
CONTRACTOR through the issuance of a Work Order will be designed by a
person, firm, or corporation designated by OWNER and identified in the
Work Order, who is hereinafter called ENGINEER and who will assume all
duties and responsibilities and will have the rights and authority
assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents in connection with
completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
2.2. OWNER's Representative. Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraph 2.1 above, the OWNER will designate, prior to the
commencement of work on each specific Work Order, the OWNER's
Representative, who shall make, within the scope of his or her
authority, all necessary and proper decisions with reference to the
work requested. All requests concerning this Agreement shall be
directed to OWNER's Representative.

Work Order shall define the Contract Times, including the number of
days or dates for the Work of that Work Order to be Substantially
Complete, as provided in the General Conditions, and completed and
ready for Final Payment and Acceptance in accordance with the General
Conditions.
3.2. Liquidated Damages. OWNER and CONTRACTOR recognize that

Agreement and that OWNER will suffer financial loss if the Work is not
completed within the times specified in each Work Order pursuant to
paragraph 3.1. above, plus any extensions thereof allowed in
accordance with Article 12 of the General Conditions. They also
recognize the delays, expenses and difficulties involved in proving in

not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such
proof, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay
(but not as penalty) CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER the amount set forth

Special Notice
Contractors who have completed this application in the past, please note the following changes in procedure
The Departmentwill no longer issue individual Certificates of exemption to subcontractors. Only prime contrac-
tors will receive a Contractor's Exemption Certificate on exempt projects.
Upon receipt of the Certificate, the prime contractor should make a copy for each subcontractor involved in the
project and complete it by filling in the subcontractor's name and address and signing it.
The original Certificate should always be retained by the prime contractor. Copies of all Certificates that the
prime contractor issued to subcontractors should be kept at the prime contractor's place of business for a
minimum of three years and be available for inspection in the event of an audit.
Once an 89a has been assigned to you, please use the next five numbers following it for any applications
submitted for future projects. This should be your permanent number. For instance, if you were assigned 89-
12345-0001, every application submitted thereafter should contain 89-12345 on the application. The succeed-
ing numbers will be issued by the Department of Revenue. DO NOT enter what you believe to be the next in
sequence as this may delay processing of your application.

• on a time and material basis from rates submitted as part of the RFP and then
renegotiated annually
• on a negotiated unit price contract determined before the work is started
• on a lump sum basis determined before the work is started
Costs for the work are not limited nor are they defined at this time. As part of the Work Order
