APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE
Special Notice
Contractors who have completed this application in the past, please note the following changes
in procedure:
The Department will no longer issue individual Certificates of exemption to subcontractors. Only
prime contractors 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 89# 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 succeeding 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.

SUMMARY OF WORK
PART 1 GENERAL
1.25 Modifications to Time of Completion in the Approved Schedule
A. The date of beginning and the time for completion of the work are essential conditions of the Contract
Documents and the work embraced shall be commenced on a date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
The Contractor will proceed with the work at such rate of progress to ensure full completion within
the contract time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the Contractor and the
Owner that the contract time for the completion of the work described herein is a reasonable time,
taking into consideration the climatic and other factors prevailing in the locality of the work.
Every effort shall be made by the Contractor to complete the project within the "Contract Time"
shown in the proposal. The "Contract Time" anticipates "Normal" weather and climate conditions in
and around the vicinity of the Project site during the times of year that the construction will be carried
out. Extensions of time based upon weather conditions shall be granted only if the Contractor
demonstrates clearly that such conditions were "unusually severe," would not have been reasonably
anticipated, and that such conditions adversely affected the Contractor’s work and thus required
additional time to complete the work.
The following specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe
weather. The listing below defines the anticipated number of calendar days lost to adverse weather
for each month and is based upon National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or
similar data for the geographic location of the project.
Monthly Anticipated Calendar Days Lost to Adverse Weather Conditions
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
(7) (4) (4) (4) (6) (3) (4) (2) (3) (3) (2) (5)
The above schedule of anticipated adverse weather will constitute the base line for monthly (or
portion thereof) weather time evaluations. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed and
continuing throughout the contract on a monthly basis, actual adverse weather days and the impact of
adverse weather days that delay the work will be recorded on a day-to-day basis. It is assumed that
the work will be carried out Mondays through Fridays (holidays excepted) unless an approved
construction schedule or written authorization from the Owner indicates otherwise. The number of
days of delayed work due to adverse weather or the impact thereof will then be compared to the
monthly adverse weather schedule above.
An actual adverse weather day must prevent work for 50 percent or more of the
Contractor’s workday, delay work critical to the timely completion of the project, and be documented
by the Contractor. The City Representative observing the construction shall determine on a daily
basis whether or not work can proceed or if work is delayed due to adverse weather or the effects
thereof. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of any disagreement as to whether or not
work can proceed on a given date, within 2 calendar days of that date. The Owner will use the above
written notification in determining the number of working days for which work was delayed during
each month.
Mulberry Bridge Landscaping & Urban Design
7
At the end of each month, if the number of working days for which work was delayed due to adverse
weather exceeds that shown in the above schedule, a Change Order will be executed which increases
the Contract Time. The number of work days delayed due to adverse weather or the impact thereof
will then be converted to Calendar Days based on the contract completion day and date. This
conversion assumes a 5-day work week, Mondays through Fridays, holidays excepted; should the
Contractor have authorization to work weekends and/or holidays, then the method of conversion of
workdays to calendar days would take this into consideration. The contract time period will then be
increased by the number of calendar days calculated above and a new contract completion day and
date will be set.
The Contractor’s schedule must reflect the above-anticipated adverse weather delays on all weather-
dependent activities. While extensions of time shall be granted for "unusually severe" weather or
climate conditions, the Owner shall make no monetary compensation for any costs to the Contractor
arising out of such delays. The Contractor shall comply with the portions of the Contract Documents
relating to his project schedule and amendments thereto which result from the "unusually severe"
weather condition.
Breakdowns in equipment or lack of performance by the Contractor will not be considered

LANE RENTAL FEE
Section 104 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows:
Subsection 104.04 shall include the following:
(a) Approved Lane Rental Fee. The Contractor shall pay a daily lane rental fee for lane closures as
defined by approved traffic control plans on East Mulberry Street during construction.
The Contractor will be granted a lane rental allowance of fifty five (55) lane-days for which no
deduction will be made from monies due the Contractor. Lane rental fees for all lane-days in excess
of fifty five (55) will be deducted from any monies due the Contractor for work performed. The
deduction will be based on the applicable rate for any and all closures, whether work is performed or
not. This deduction will be reflected in each progress payment. This deduction is not a penalty, but
is a rental fee based upon road user costs to occupy East Mulberry Street.
The Engineer may determine that the lane rental fee will not be charged for lane closures for the
following reasons: additional work not covered in the scope of the project and directed by the
Engineer; acts of god, acts of the public enemy, fires, floods, area wide strikes, freight embargos, and
delays not caused by the Contractor’s fault or negligence. In the case of unusually severe weather, a
lane rental fee will not be charged for each weather day after the second consecutive weather day.
The lane-day rental fee for closures on East Mulberry Street shall be $500.00 (five hundred dollars)
per lane-day.
A lane-day is measured as:
Any day that a portion of a thru lane is closed to traffic on an arterial road.
Any day that a portion of a left turn lane is closed to traffic on an arterial road.
Any day that a portion of a right turn lane is closed to traffic on an arterial road.
For approved daytime lane closures, a lane-day will be measured as any potion of time between the
hours of 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. If work extends beyond those approved working hours, an
Unapproved Lane Rental Fee will be charged per section (b).
For approved multi-day lane closure, the lane-day will be measured as a 24 hour period from 12:00
AM to 11:59 PM for each calendar day that the closure is approved and implemented.
Lane closures between the hours of 8:00 pm and 5:00 am must be approved by the City prior to the
commencement of work. The Contractor cannot commence work without an approved traffic
control plan. Lane closure days will not be measured for approved night work.
A lane is considered closed when the number of available lanes is reduced from the number available
prior to the work.
Lane closures shall be documented in the Traffic Control Supervisor’s (TCS’s) diary each day that a
lane closure is in use. The diary shall be signed by the TCS and the Contractor’s representative. A
copy of the day’s diary shall be given to the Engineer at the end of each work day on which a lane
closure is used.
Mulberry Bridge Landscaping & Urban Design
10
(b) Unapproved Lane Rental Fee. The contractor will be charged an hourly lane rental feel for work
that is performed outside of approved working hours per the approved Traffic Control Plans, and/or work
that is performed outside of an approved traffic control plan. Unapproved Lane Rental Fees may be
charged in addition to other fees, charges and/or penalties as defined in the Contract.
The Contractor will be charged a lane rental fee for any work that is performed outside of the
approved hours that are permitted by the City Traffic Department and as defined on the approved
traffic control plan, and/or for any work that is performed outside of an approved traffic control plan.
The lane rental fee will be measured as an hourly rate and will be rounded up to the nearest whole
hour in excess of the permitted lane closure time.
The Unapproved Lane Rental Fee for closures on East Mulberry Street shall be $1,000.00 (one
thousand dollars) per lane-hour.
The Unapproved Lane Rental Fee will be measured and applied separately to each thru lane or turn
lane that is impacted by an unapproved lane closure.
The Unapproved Lane Rental Fee does not constitute an authorization to do work without an
approved traffic control plan.

REVISION OF SECTION 108
DELAY AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME
Section 108 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows:
In subsection 108.08, delete (c) and (d) and replace with the following:
(c) Delay. Any event, action or factor that extends the performance period of the Contract.
1. Excusable Delay: A delay that was beyond the Contractor’s control and was not due to the Contractor’s
fault or negligence. The Department may grant a contract time extension for an excusable delay.
A. Compensable Delay: A delay that the Department, not the Contractor, is responsible for entitling the
Contractor to a time extension and monetary compensation. Monetary compensation for compensable
delays will be made in accordance with Subsection 109.10.
B. Noncompensable Delay: An excusable delay that neither the Contractor nor the Department is
responsible for that may entitle the Contractor to a contract time extension but no additional monetary
compensation. Contract time allowed for the performance of the work may be extended for delays due to
force majeure (i.e. acts of God, acts of the public enemy, terrorist acts, fires, floods, area wide strikes,
embargoes, or unusually severe weather).
2. Nonexcusable Delay: A delay that was reasonably foreseeable or within the control of the Contractor for
which the Department will not grant monetary compensation or a contract time extension.
3. Concurrent Delay. Independent delays to critical activities occurring at the same time.
A. The Department will not grant a time extension or additional compensation for the period of time that a
non-excusable delay is concurrent with an excusable delay.
B. The Department may grant time but no compensation for the period of time that a non-compensable
delay is concurrent with a compensable delay.
Delays in delivery of materials or fabrication scheduling resulting from late ordering, financial considerations,
or other causes that could have been foreseen or prevented will be considered nonexcusable delays. However,
delays caused by fuel shortage or delay in delivery of materials to the Contractor due to some unusual market
condition caused by industry-wide strike, national disaster, area-wide shortage, or other reasons beyond the
control of the Contractor which prevent procurement of materials or fuel within the allowable contract time
limits will be considered excusable delays.
(d) Extension of Contract Time. The Contractor’s assertion that insufficient contract time was specified is not
a valid reason for an extension of contract time. For time extension requests, the Contractor shall provide
a two-part submittal: part one shall consist of a written notice of the delay and part two shall consist of the
Contractor’s delay documentation and supporting analysis.
Part 1: The Contractor shall provide the written notice of delay within seven days of the delay occurrence.
The notice shall describe the delay and include documentation substantiating the nature and cause of the
delay. Failure to submit the written notice constitutes a waiver of entitlement to additional time or
compensation.
Part 2: This shall be submitted within 30 days of the written notice. The Contractor shall include all
documentation needed to support the time extension request. In order to request additional contract time
for an unexpected delay, the Contractor shall provide a contemporaneous schedule analysis in accordance
68
with subsection 108.03. The schedule analysis shall show that the delayed activity or activities were on
the critical path or became critical due to the delay.
The Engineer will base a determination of an allowable contract time extension on:
(1) The current Schedule in effect at the time of the alleged delay;
(2) The supporting documentation submitted by the Contractor;
(3) The contemporaneous schedule analysis; and
(4) Any other relevant information available to the Engineer.
For a time extension request resulting from a change order, the Contractor shall demonstrate the delay to the
project completion date by:
(1) Inserting a fragnet containing the change order activities into an unprogressed copy of the schedule that
is current at the time of the change order;
(2) tying the fragnet into the schedule logic; and
(3) Recalculating the schedule.
The Department will not consider delays to activities which do not affect the performance period of the
Contract as a basis for a Contract time extension. If the Engineer grants a contract time extension, the revised
Contract Completion date will be in effect as though it were the original contract date.
A Contractor’s failure to have an approved, or approved with comments, current project schedule in place will
preclude the Department from considering a Contractor’s a time extension request.

Activity ID. A unique, alphanumeric, identification code assigned to an activity and remains constant
throughout the project.
Bar Chart. A simple depiction of a Project Schedule without relationships or supporting logic of the schedule.
Calendar. Defined work periods and no work periods that determine when project activities can occur.
Multiple calendars may be used for different activities; e.g., a 5-day work-week and a 7-day work-week
calendar.
Constraint. A restriction imposed in a schedule, which fixes a value that would otherwise be calculated within
the schedule. Examples of values that can be fixed by a constraint include start date, end date, and completion
date.
Critical Path. The sequence of activities that determines the duration of the project.
Critical Path Method Scheduling. (CPM Scheduling) is a logic-based planning technique using activity
durations and relationships between activities to calculate a schedule determining the minimum total project
duration.
Data Date. The starting point from which to schedule all remaining work.
Duration. The estimated amount of time needed to complete an activity.
Float. The amount of time between the earliest date an activity can start and the latest date when an activity
must start ,or the earliest date an activity can finish and latest date when an activity can finish before the
activity becomes critical. The time between the Project Schedule completion date and the Contract completion
date is not considered float.
Gantt Chart. A time-scaled graphical display of the project’s schedule.
Lag. A time-value assigned to a relationship.
Logic. Relationships between activities defining the sequence of work (See also predecessor activity and
successor activity).
Milestone. An activity, with no duration used to represent an event.
Open-Ended Activity. An activity that does not have both a predecessor activity and a successor activity.
72
Predecessor Activity. An activity that is defined by schedule logic to precede another activity.
Relationship. The interdependence between activities.
Salient Feature. An item of work that is of special interest for CDOT in coordinating the project schedule but
may not affect the overall completion of the project.
Successor Activity. An activity that is defined by schedule logic to follow another activity.
Time-Scaled Logic Diagram. Gantt chart that illustrates logic links depicting both schedule logic and the time
at which activities are performed.
(b) Project Schedule - General
The Contractor shall use either Microsoft Project or Primavera Scheduling software to develop and manage a
CPM Project Schedule to plan, schedule, and report the progress of the work. Prior to, or at the Pre-
construction Conference, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing, which scheduling software the
Contractor shall use to manage the project. The Contractor’s selection and use of particular scheduling
software cannot be changed after the first schedule submittal. If the Contractor selects Primavera, the
Contractor shall calculate the schedule using the Retained Logic scheduling option. The Department will not
allow use of bar charts for the Project Schedule.
The Contractor shall submit schedules for approval by the Engineer. The purpose of these schedules is to
allow the Contractor and the Department to jointly manage the work and evaluate progress. The schedules
also serve to evaluate the effect of changes and delays to the scheduled project completion. Either party may
require a formal schedule review meeting.
The Contractor’s schedule shall consist of a time-scaled logic diagram and shall show the logical progression
of all activities required to complete the work.
The Contractor shall use activity descriptions that ensure the work is easily identifiable. The Contractor shall
show the no-work days in the schedule calendars.
The Contractor shall use durations for individual construction activities that do not exceed 15 calendar days

(4) Open-ended activities - every activity shall have at least one predecessor activity and at least one
successor activity, except for the first and last activities in the network. If the contractor uses a start-to-
start relationship to link two activities, then both of those two activities should also have successor
activities linked by either a finish-to-start or a finish-to-finish relationship.
(5) Constraints without approval by the Engineer. The Contractor’s written request shall explain why the
use of constraints in the schedule is necessary.
73
The Project Schedule shall show all activities required by all parties to complete the work. The Project
Schedule shall include subcontracted work, delivery dates for critical material, submittal and review periods,
permits and governmental approvals, milestone requirements, utility work by others and no work periods. The
Contractor, its subcontractors, suppliers, and engineers, at any tier, shall perform the work according to the
