3.1. Contractor shall be instructed to commence the Work by written instruction in the form of a
Purchase Order issued by City's Director of Purchasing and by Notice to Proceed issued by the
Contract Administrator. The Notice to Proceed and Purchase Order will not be issued until
Contractor's submission to City of all required documents and after execution of this Contract
by both Parties. Preliminary work, including submission of a project schedule, schedule of
values, submittals, submittal schedule, and other documents required for permitting, and
performance of work that does not require permits, shall commence within ten (10) days after
the date of the Notice to Proceed. Contractor shall have ten (10) days after receipt of signed
and sealed contract Drawings from Consultant to apply for construction permits to the
applicable permitting authority. Issuance of all permits by the permitting authority shall be a
condition precedent for all additional Work. Except for the reimbursement of permit
application fees as may be provided in the Contract Documents, Contractor shall not be

Tamarac
and Contracts Division
entitled to compensation of any kind during the permitting process. The Work to be performed
pursuant to the Notice to Proceed shall commence within ten (10) days after the Project
Initiation Date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
3.2. Time is of the essence throughout this Contract. Contractor must obtain Substantial
Completion of the Work within 270 days from the Project Initiation Date specified in the Notice
to Proceed, and Final Completion within 30 days from the date of Substantial Completion.
3.3. Upon failure of Contractor to obtain Substantial Completion within the deadline stated in
Section 3.2, as extended by any approved time extensions, Contractor shall pay to City the sum

obtained. After Substantial Completion, should Contractor fail to complete the remaining

thereof, Contractor shall pay to City the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($ 250.00 ) for each
day after the deadline for Final Completion, as extended by any approved extensions, until
Final Completion is obtained. These amounts are not penalties but are liquidated damages to
City for its inability to obtain full beneficial occupancy and/or use of the Project. Liquidated
damages are hereby fixed and agreed upon between the Parties based on (1) a mutual
recognition of the impossibility of precisely ascertaining the amount of damages that will be
sustained by City as a consequence of Contractor's failure to timely obtain Substantial
Completion; and (2) both Parties' desire to obviate any question of dispute concerning the
amount of said damages and the cost and effect of the failure of Contractor to complete this
Contract on time. These liquidated damages shall apply separately to each portion of the
Project for which a deadline for completion is given.
3.4. City may deduct liquidated damages from monies due to Contractor for the Work under this
Contract or as much thereof as City may, in its sole discretion, deem just and reasonable.
3.5. Contractor shall reimburse City, in addition to liquidated damages, for all costs incurred by
Consultant in administering the construction of the Project beyond the completion dates
specified above, as extended by any approved time extensions. Consultant construction
administration costs shall be in the amounts set forth in the contract between City and
Consultant, a copy of which is available upon request of the Contract Administrator. All such
costs shall be deducted from the monies due Contractor for performance of Work under this
Contract by means of unilateral credit Change Orders issued by City as costs are incurred by
Consultant and agreed to by City.

misleading. If the Application for Payment does not meet the requirements of this Contract,
City shall reject the Application for Payment within twenty (20) business days after the date
stamped received and said rejection shall specify the deficiency and the action necessary to

against Contractor or City relating to Contractor's performance.
5.3.3 Failure of Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for material or

ARTICLE 6 ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT
6.1 Upon receipt of written notice from Contractor that the Work is ready for final inspection and
acceptance, Consultant shall conduct an inspection within ten (10) days. If Consultant and
Contract Administrator find that the Work is acceptable; that the requisite documents have
been submitted; that the requirements of the Contract Documents are fully satisfied; and that
all conditions of the permits and regulatory agencies have been met, a Final Certificate of
Payment (Form 11) shall be issued by Consultant, under its signature, stating that the
requirements of the Contract Documents have been performed and that the Work is ready for
acceptance under the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.
6.2 Before issuance of the Final Certificate for Payment, Contractor shall deliver to Consultant the
following Final Payment Package: a complete release of all claims arising out of this Contract,
or receipts in full in lieu thereof; an affidavit certifying that all suppliers and Subcontractors

which must be signed and notarized by Contractor. A list of all noncertified Subcontractors and
suppliers used must be attached to this certified document.
6.3 If, after Substantial Completion, Final Completion is materially delayed through no fault of
Contractor, and Consultant so certifies, City shall, upon certification of Consultant, and without
terminating this Contract, make payment of the balance due for any portion of the Work fully
completed and accepted. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions
governing final payment, but it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
6.4 Final payment shall be made only after the Board or Director of Purchasing, as applicable, has
reviewed a written evaluation of the performance of Contractor prepared by the Contract
Administrator and has approved the final payment. The acceptance of final payment shall
constitute a waiver of all claims by Contractor, except those previously made in strict
accordance with the provisions of the General Conditions and identified by Contractor as
unsettled at the time of the application for final payment.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
ARTICLE 1 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
and Contracts Division
1.1 The Contract Documents shall be followed in strict accordance as to Work, performance,
material(s), and dimensions except when Consultant may authorize, in writing, an
exception.
1.2 Dimensions given in figures shall predominate over scaled measurements from the
Drawings; however, any discrepancies regarding figures shall be resolved by Consultant.
Contractor shall not proceed when in doubt as to any dimension or measurement, but
shall seek clarification from Consultant.
1.3 Contractor shall be furnished ten (10) copies of this Contract, free of charge, two (2) of
which shall be preserved and always made accessible to Consultant and Consultant's
authorized representatives. Additional copies of this Contract may be obtained from City
at the cost of reproduction.
ARTICLE 2 INTENTION OF CITY
City intends to describe in this Contract a functionally complete Project (or part thereof) to be
constructed in accordance with this Contract and in accordance with all codes and regulations governing
construction of the Project. The Work is a description of Contractor's obligations and responsibilities
and is deemed to include preliminary considerations and prerequisites, as well as all labor, materials,
equipment, and tasks, that are such an inseparable part of the Work described that exclusion of them
from the Work would render performance by Contractor impractical, illogical, or unconscionable, and
shall be supplied by Contractor whether or not specifically called for. When words that have a well-
known technical or trade meaning are used to describe work, materials, or equipment, such words shall
be interpreted in accordance with that meaning, unless specified otherwise herein. Reference to
standard specifications, manuals, or codes of any technical society, organization, or association, or to the
laws or regulations of any governmental authority, whether such reference be specific or by implication,
shall mean the latest standard specification, manual, code, laws, or regulations in effect at the time of
opening of bids for the Project. Contractor shall comply with such specifications, manuals, codes, laws,
or regulations. City will have no duties other than those duties and obligations expressly set forth within
this Contract.
ARTICLE 3 PRELIMINARY MATTERS
3.1. At least five (5) days prior to the pre -construction meeting described in Section 3.2, Contractor
shall submit to Consultant for Consultant's review and acceptance:
3.1.1. A progress schedule in the indicated form:
❑ Bar Chart
23-09B Fire Station No 15 Pre-Emption Emergency
Vehicle Signal System
26
City of Tamarac
TAMARAC
The City For Your Life
❑ Modified Critical Path Method ("CPM")
/1
❑ Computerized CPM
Purchasing and Contracts Division
(CPM is interpreted to be generally as outlined in the Association of General Contractors ("AGC")
publication, "The Use of CPM in Construction.")
The progress schedule shall indicate the start and completion dates of the various stages of the
Work, and shall show an activity network for the planning and execution of the Work. Included
with the progress schedule shall be a narrative description of the progress schedule. The progress
schedule must be updated monthly by Contractor, submitted as part of each Application for
Payment, and must be acceptable to Consultant.
3.1.2. A preliminary schedule of Shop Drawing submissions; and
3.1.3. In a lump sum contract or in a contract that includes lump sum bid items of Work, a
preliminary schedule of values for all of the Work that includes quantities and prices of
items aggregating the Contract Price and that subdivides the Work into component parts in
sufficient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during construction. Such prices
will include a breakdown of labor, equipment, materials, and an appropriate amount of
overhead and profit applicable to each item of Work, which amounts Contractor must
confirm in writing at the time of submission.
In addition, after award but prior to the submission of the progress schedule, Consultant, Contract
Administrator, and Contractor shall meet with all utility owners and secure from them a schedule of
utility relocation; provided, however, that neither Consultant nor City shall be responsible for the
nonperformance by the utility owners.
3.2. At a time specified by Consultant, but before Contractor starts the Work at the Project site, a
conference attended by Contractor, Consultant, and others as deemed appropriate by Contract
Administrator, will be held to discuss the schedules referred to in Section 3.1; to discuss
procedures for handling Shop Drawings and other submittals and for processing Applications for
Payment; and to establish a working understanding among the Parties as to the Work.
3.3. Within thirty-five (35) days from the Project Initiation Date set forth in the applicable Notice to
Proceed, a conference attended by Contractor, Consultant, and others, as appropriate, will be
held to finalize the schedules submitted in accordance with Section 3.1. Within forty-five (45)
days after the Project Initiation Date set forth in the applicable Notice to Proceed, Contractor
shall revise the original schedule submittal to address all review comments from the progress
schedule review conference and resubmit a revised progress schedule to Consultant for review.
Consultant's acceptance of the finalized progress schedule shall only be with respect to the
orderly progression of the Work to completion within the Contract Time, but such acceptance
shall not constitute acceptance by City or Consultant of the means or methods of construction or
23-09B Fire Station No. 15 Pre-Emption Emergency
Vehicle Signal System
27
TAMARAC
The City For Your Life
City of Tamarac
Purchasing and Contracts Division
of the sequencing or scheduling of the Work. Such acceptance will neither impose on Consultant
or City responsibility for the progress or scheduling of the Work, nor relieve Contractor from full
responsibility, therefore. The finalized schedule of Shop Drawing submissions must be acceptable
to Consultant as providing a workable arrangement for processing such submissions. The
finalized schedule of values must be acceptable to Consultant as to form and substance.
ARTICLE 4 PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND
4.1. Within ten (10) days after being notified of the award, Contractor shall furnish a Performance
Bond and a Payment Bond containing all the provisions of the Performance Bond (Form 1) and
Payment Bond (Form 2). Each Bond shall be in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the
Contract Price guaranteeing to City the completion and performance of the Work covered in such
Contract as well as full payment of all suppliers, laborers, and Subcontractors employed pursuant
to this Project. Each Bond shall be with a surety company that is qualified pursuant to Article 5.
Each Bond must name "Broward County" as an additional obligee.
4.2. Each Bond shall continue in effect for one (1) year after Final Completion and acceptance of the
Work with liability equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price, or an additional
bond provided to ensure that Contractor will, upon notification by City, correct any defective or
faulty work or materials that appear within one (1) year after Final Completion of this Contract.
4.3. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 255.05, Florida Statutes, Contractor shall ensure that
the bond(s) referenced above shall be recorded in the Official Records of Broward County and
provide City with evidence of such recording.
4.4. In lieu of a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, Contractor may furnish alternate forms of
security in the form of cash, money order, certified check, cashier's check, or unconditional letter
of credit. Such alternate forms of security shall be subject to the approval of City and for same
purpose, and shall be subject to the same conditions as those applicable above, and shall be held
by City for one (1) year after completion and acceptance of the Work.
ARTICLE 5 QUALIFICATION OF SURETY
5.1. For all Bid Bonds, Performance Bonds, and Payment Bonds over $500,000.00:
5.1.2. Each bond must be executed by a surety company of recognized standing, authorized to do
business in the State of Florida as surety, having a resident agent in the State of Florida, and

(5) years.
5.1.3. The surety company shall hold a current Certificate of Authority as acceptable surety on
federal bonds in accordance with United States Department of Treasury Circular 570,
Current Revisions. If the amount of the Bond exceeds the underwriting limitation set forth
in the circular, in order to qualify as a proper surety herein, the net retention of the surety
company shall not exceed the underwriting limitation in the circular, and the excess risks
must be protected by coinsurance, reinsurance, or other methods in accordance with
23-09B Fire Station No. 15 Pre-Emption Emergency
Vehicle Signal System
TAB AC
The City For Your Life
Tamarac Purchasina and Contracts Division

shall provide City with evidence satisfactory to City that such excess risk has been protected
in an acceptable manner.
5.1.4. A surety company that is rejected by City maybe substituted by the Bidder or proposer with
a surety company acceptable to City, but only if the bid amount does not increase.
5.1.5. All bonds shall be written through surety insurers authorized to do business in the State of
Florida as surety, with the following qualifications as to management and financial strength
according to the latest (1986 or later) edition of Best's Insurance Guide, published by A.M.

company is otherwise in compliance with the provisions of the Florida Insurance Code, and if the
surety company holds a currently valid Certificate of Authority issued by the United States
Department of the Treasury under Sections 9304 to 9308 of Title 31 of the United States Code.

employees (collectively, "Indemnified Party"), from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including, but

utilized by Contractor in the performance of this Contract. To the extent considered necessary by
Contract Administrator and City Attorney, any sums due Contractor under this Contract may be retained

otherwise resolved, and any amount withheld shall not be subject to payment of interest by City. These

ARTICLE 41 NO DAMAGES FOR DELAY
Purchasing and Contracts Division
No claim for damages or any claim, other than for an extension of time, shall be made or asserted against
City by reason of any delays except as provided herein. Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in
the Contract Price or payment or compensation of any kind from City for direct, indirect, consequential,
impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or
inefficiency, arising from delay, disruption, interference or hindrance from any cause whatsoever,
whether such delay, disruption, interference or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable
or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable. Contractor shall be entitled only to extensions of the
Contract Time as the sole and exclusive remedy for such resulting delay, in accordance with and to the
extent specifically provided above; provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude recovery of
damages by Contractor for actual delays due solely to fraud, bad faith, or active interference on the part
of City or its Consultant.
ARTICLE 42 EXCUSABLE DELAY; COMPENSABLE; NON-COMPENSABLE
42.1 Excusable Delay. Delay that extends the completion of the Work and that is caused by
circumstances beyond the control of Contractor or its Subcontractors, suppliers, or vendors are
Excusable Delay. Contractor is entitled to a time extension of the Contract Time for each day the
Work is delayed due to Excusable Delay. Contractor shall document its claim for any time
extension as provided in Article 40 hereof. Failure of Contractor to comply with Article 40 hereof
as to any particular event of delay shall be deemed conclusively to constitute a waiver,
abandonment, or relinquishment of any and all claims resulting from that particular event of delay.
Excusable Delay may be compensable or non-compensable, as provided below.
42.1.1 Compensable Excusable Delay. Excusable Delay is compensable when (i) the delay
extends the Contract Time; (ii) is caused by circumstances beyond the control of
Contractor or its Subcontractors, suppliers or vendor; and (iii) is caused solely by fraud,
bad faith or active interference on the part of City or its agents. In no event shall
Contractor be compensated for interim delays that do not extend the Contract Time.
Contractor shall be entitled to direct and indirect costs for Compensable Excusable
Delay. Direct costs recoverable by Contractor shall be limited to the actual additional
costs allowed pursuant to Article 39 hereof.
City and Contractor recognize and agree that the amount of Contractor's precise actual
indirect costs for delay in the performance and completion of the Work is impossible
to determine as of the date of execution of this Contract, and that proof of the precise
amount will be difficult. Therefore, indirect costs recoverable by Contractor shall be
liquidated on a daily basis for each day the Contract Time is delayed due to a
Compensable Excusable Delay. These liquidated indirect costs shall be paid to
compensate Contractor for all indirect costs caused by a Compensable Excusable Delay,
and shall include, but not be limited to, lost profits, all profit on indirect costs, home
office overhead, acceleration, loss of earnings, loss of productivity, loss of bonding
capacity, loss of opportunity and all other indirect costs incurred by Contractor. The

amount of liquidated indirect costs recoverable shall be Zero Dollars 0.00 per day
for each day this Contract is delayed due to a Compensable Excusable Delay.
42.1.2 Non-Compensable Excusable Delay. When Excusable Delay is (i) caused by
circumstances beyond the control of Contractor, its Subcontractors, suppliers and
vendors; (ii) is caused by circumstances beyond the control of City or Consultant; or (iii)
is caused jointly or concurrently by Contractor or its Subcontractors, suppliers or
vendors and by City or Consultant, then Contractor shall be entitled only to a time
extension and no further compensation for the delay.
ARTICLE 43 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
When Contractor determines in good faith that the Work, or a portion thereof designated by City
pursuant to Article 30 hereof, has reached Substantial Completion, Contractor shall so notify the
Contract Administrator and Consultant in writing. Consultant and the Contract Administrator shall then
promptly inspect the Work. When Consultant, on the basis of such an inspection, determines that the
Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, it will then prepare a Certificate of
Substantial Completion (Form 10). The Contract Administrator shall affix its determination to the
Certificate of Substantial Completion, which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion. The
Certificate of Substantial Completion shall state the responsibilities of City and Contractor for security,
maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance. Consultant and the Contract
Administrator shall develop and Contractor shall review the list of all Work yet to be completed by
Contractor to satisfy the requirements of this Contract for Final Completion and to make the Work
satisfactory and acceptable. The list shall be provided to Contractor within five (5) days after final
development and review. If the final list is not provided within the stated five (5) days, the Contract Time
for completion shall be extended by the number of days exceeding the five (5) days. The failure to include
any items of corrective Work on such list does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all
Work in accordance with this Contract. Warranties required by this Contract shall commence on the
date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in
the Certificate of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted
to the Contract Administrator and Contractor for their written acceptance of the responsibilities assigned
to them in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.
ARTICLE 44 NO INTEREST
44.1 City shall not be liable to pay any interest to Contractor for any reason, whether as prejudgment
interest or for any other purpose, and in furtherance thereof Contractor waives, rejects, disclaims
and surrenders any and all entitlement it has or may have to receive interest in connection with a
dispute or claim arising from, related to, or in connection with this Contract. This section shall not
apply to any claim for interest, including for post -judgment interest, if such application would be
contrary to applicable law.
44.2 If the preceding section is inapplicable or is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court
of competent jurisdiction, the annual rate of interest payable by City under this Contract, whether

[USE FOLLOWING INSTEAD IF A CBE RESERVE PROJECT] The Parties acknowledge that this procurement
is reserved solely for performance by CBE firms; therefore the CBE goal is one hundred percent (100%)
of total Services under this Agreement (the "Commitment"). Contractor is a CBE firm and agrees that it
will meet the Commitment by Contractor performing the Services without subcontracting, or by
Contractor performing at least fifty percent (50%) of the Services and subcontracting the remainder to
CBE firms listed in Exhibit _ (or CBE firms substituted or approved in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement). —DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS PROJECT.
[USE FOLLOWING INSTEAD IF A SBE RESERVE PROJECT AND MODIFY REMAINDER OF ARTICLE 54
ACCORDINGLY] The Parties acknowledge that this procurement is reserved solely for performance by an
SBE firm; therefore, the SBE goal is one hundred percent (100%) of total Services under this Agreement
(the "Commitment"). Contractor is an SBE firm and agrees that it will meet the Commitment by
Contractor performing the Services without subcontracting, or by Contractor performing at least fifty
percent (50%) of the Services and subcontracting the remainder to SBE firms listed in Exhibit (or SBE
firms substituted or approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). —DOES NOT APPLY TO
THIS PROJECT.
54.4 In performing the Services, Contractor shall utilize the CBE or SBE firms listed in Exhibit _
for the scope of work and the percentage of work amounts identified on each Letter of Intent.
Promptly upon execution of this Contract by City, Contractor shall enter into formal contracts
with the CBE or SBE firms listed in Exhibit _ and, upon request, shall provide copies of the
contracts to the Contract Administrator and OESBD.
54.5 Each CBE or SBE firm utilized by Contractor to meet the CBE or SBE goal must be certified
by OESBD. Contractor shall inform City immediately when a CBE or SBE firm is not able to
perform or if Contractor believes the CBE or SBE firm should be replaced for any other reason,
so that OESBD can review and verify the good faith efforts of Contractor to substitute the CBE
or SBE firm with another CBE or SBE firm. Whenever a CBE or SBE firm is terminated for any
reason, Contractor shall provide written notice to OESBD and, upon written approval of the
Director of OESBD, shall substitute another CBE or SBE firm in order to meet the CBE or SBE goal,
unless otherwise provided in this Contract or agreed to in writing by the Parties. Such
substitution shall not be required in the event the termination results from modification of the
Scope of Services and no CBE or SBE firm is available to perform the modified Scope of Services;
in which event, Contractor shall notify OESBD, and OESBD may adjust the CBE or SBE goal by
written notice to Contractor. Contractor shall not terminate a CBE or SBE firm for convenience
without OESBD's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
54.6 The Parties stipulate that if Contractor fails to meet the Commitment, the damages to City
arising from such failure are not readily ascertainable at the time of contracting. If Contractor
fails to meet the Commitment and Broward County determines, in the sole discretion of the
OESBD Program Director, that Contractor failed to make Good Faith Efforts (as defined in Section
1-81, Broward County Code of Ordinances) to meet the Commitment, Contractor shall pay City
liquidated damages in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the actual dollar amount by
which Contractor failed to achieve the Commitment, up to a maximum amount of ten percent
23-09B Fire Station No. 15 Pre-Emption Emergency
Vehicle Signal System
59
TAMARAC
The City For Your Life
City of Tamarac
Purchasing and Contracts Division
(10%) of the total contract amount excluding costs and reimbursable expenses. An example of
this calculation is stated in Section 1-81.7, Broward County Code of Ordinances. As elected by
City, such liquidated damages amount shall be either credited against any amounts due from
City or must be paid to City within thirty (30) days after written demand. These liquidated
damages shall be City's sole contractual remedy for Contractor's breach of the Commitment but
shall not affect the availability of administrative remedies under Section 1-81. Any failure to
meet the Commitment attributable solely to force majeure, changes to the scope of work by
City, or inability to substitute a CBE or SBE Subcontractor where the OESBD Program Director
has determined that such inability is due to no fault of Contractor, shall not be deemed a failure
by Contractor to meet the Commitment.
54.7 Contractor acknowledges that OESBD may make minor administrative modifications to
Section 1-81, Broward County Code of Ordinances, which shall become applicable to this Contract
if the administrative modifications are not unreasonable. Written notice of any such modification
shall be provided to Contractor and shall include a deadline for Contractor to notify City in writing
if Contractor concludes that the modification exceeds the authority under this section. Failure of
Contractor to timely notify City of its conclusion that the modification exceeds such authority shall
be deemed acceptance of the modification by Contractor.
54.8 OESBD may modify the Commitment in connection with any amendment, extension,
modification, change order, or Work Authorization to this Contract that, by itself or aggregated
with previous amendments, extensions, modifications, change orders, or Work Authorizations,
increases the initial Contract price by ten percent (10%) or more. Contractor shall make a good
faith effort to include CBE or SBE firms in work resulting from any such amendment, extension,
modification, change order, or Work Authorization, and shall report such efforts, along with
evidence thereof, to OESBD.
54.9 Contractor shall provide written monthly reports to the Contract Administrator and to the
Director of OESBD attesting to Contractor's compliance with the Commitment. In addition,
Contractor shall allow City and OESBD to engage in onsite reviews to monitor Contractor's
progress in achieving and maintaining Contractor's contractual and CBE or SBE obligations. The
Contract Administrator or OESBD shall perform such review and monitoring.
54.10 The Contract Administrator may increase allowable retainage or withhold progress
payments if Contractor fails to demonstrate timely payments of sums due to all Subcontractors
and suppliers. The presence of a "pay when paid" provision in a Contractor's contract with a CBE
or SBE firm shall not preclude City or its representatives from inquiring into allegations of
nonpayment.
