fully performed and accepted by both the Governing Agency and Engineer; and (ii)

Work which may result in extension of time for completion and increase in compensation

of the time delays and provide revised schedules of anticipated completion dates.
ARTICLE 7 — TESTING, INSPECTIONS AND CORRECTION OF WORK
7.1 Should the Owner, the Contract Documents, or any law, ordinance, or governing public
authority require that any portion of the Work be tested or inspected, Contractor shall
give notice to Owner (or Governing Agency if the Governing Agency is the inspecting

ARTICLE 9 — TIME FOR COMPLETION: EXTENSIONS OF TIME
9.1 Owner shall give Contractor written notice to proceed and Contractor shall complete the
work in the number of working days specified on the Exhibit D of the Contract.
Contractor shall provide Owner a schedule prior to commencing work. Contractor shall
commence work on the Improvements in accordance with schedule and shall, unless
delayed by one of the causes stated in Paragraph 9.3, below, and documented as .

which weather or conditions not under the control of the Contractor shall permit the
performance of the principal units of work underway for a continuous period of not less
than seven (7) hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. A principal unit of work shall be
that unit which controls the completion time of the Contract. Nothing in this definition
shall be construed as prohibiting the Contractor from working on Saturdays if he so
desires and permission of the appropriate government agencies has been granted. If
Saturday or Sunday work is permitted, working time shall be charged on the same basis
as weekdays. Where the working time is expressed as calendar days or a specific date,
the concept of working days shall no longer be relevant to the contract.
9.3 Substantial Completion date shall be defined in this contract and/or any of its

11
Gr' Developmenilprojects�DFW\_Legacy Projecls\Liberly Trails (Brookfield)%DEVELOPMENT Generic Improvements -Contract REV 7.122018.doc
9.4 Either party, Contractor or Owner, may be excused for delays in the performance of this
Contract caused by any intentional acts or gross neglect of the other, by any acts of any
public enemy, by any acts of any governmental agency, by war or war defense
conditions, by fires, by unusual delays in transportation, by labor disputes, or by any
other cause resulting in delay of the Work which is beyond such party's reasonable
control. Each party shall use due diligence to avoid any such delay or default and to
resume performance under this Contract as promptly as possible after any such delay.
9.5 The completion date may only be changed for a delay of one of the causes mentioned in
Paragraph 9.3. Any claim for an extension in the completion date by Contractor shall be
based on written notice and supporting data delivered to Owner within thirty (30) days of
the occurrence of the delaying event giving rise to the claim. Owner may allow
Contractor an additional period of time to ascertain and collect more accurate data;
however, all claims for adjustment of the Completion Date shall be determined by
Owner.
9.5 The completion date will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due to delays
beyond the control of Contractor, if a claim is made therefore and approved by Owner, as
provided in Paragraph 9.4, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
9.6 Liquidated Damages for Failure to Complete on Time: The time of completion is the
essence of this Contract. For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted
after the time specified in the Proposal and the Contract, or the increased time granted by
the Owner, or as equitably increased by additional work or materials ordered after the
Contract is signed, the sum per day given in the following schedule, unless otherwise
specified in the special instructions, shall be deducted from the monies due the
Contractor.

The sum of money thus deducted for such delay, failure, or non -completion is not to be
considered as a penalty, but shall be deemed, taken, and treated as reasonable liquidated
damages, per calendar day that the Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated
on the Contract for completing the Work. The said amounts are fixed and agreed upon
by and between Owner and Contractor because of the impracticability and extreme
difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the Owner in such event would
sustain; and said amounts are agreed to be the amount of damages which the Owner
would sustain and which shall be retained from the monies due, or that may become due,
the Contractor under this contract; and if said monies be insufficient to cover the amount
owing, then the Contractor or his surety shall pay any additional amounts due.
ARTICLE 10 — USE OF LAND BY OWNER
10.1 During construction of Improvements, Owner shall have the right to use such portion(s)
of the Premises as may from time to time be deemed safe for such use by the
Construction Manager. The use by Owner of any such portion(s) of the Premises shall
not (1) constitute an acceptance by Owner of any Improvements which may have been
constructed on such portion of the Premises by Contractor, (ii) affect in any way the dates
and times when payments become due to Contractor from Owner under this Contract, or
(iii) prejudice Owner's rights under this Contract. The Improvements shall be deemed
completed only when all Work under this Contract has been fully performed and a notice
of completion of the Improvements has been duly accepted in writing by Owner and
Governing Public Authority which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
ARTICLE 11 — TRAFFIC CONTROL AND CLEAN UP
11.1 Whenever the performance of the Work under this Contract creates a condition which
could be hazardous to the public, Contractor shall take all necessary precautions and
provide adequate means to protect those who must pass through, over or adjacent to the
Work. Contractor will notice Owner in writing of such risk.
11.2 During the performance of this Contract, Contractor shall keep all property adjacent to
the Premises free of all accumulated rubbish and waste materials caused by Contractor's
operations in performing this Contract. On completion of the Improvements, Contractor
promptly shall remove all such rubbish and waste materials, structures and all equipment
used by it in performing this Contract from the Premises and adjacent property. If the
Contractor fails to maintain and clean the Premises, the Owner may use the procedure
provided in Paragraph 7.3 and the cost shall be charged against the Contractor.
ARTICLE 12 — SUBCONTRACTORS
12.1 Before subcontracting any portion of the Work, Contractor shall deliver to Owner a
written list of the names of all persons and entities intended to be employed by
Contractor as Subcontractors to work on Improvements.
13
G:'�Developmen1iprojmtslDFW1_Legacy Projects�Liberty Trails (Brookfield)1DEVELOPMENT Generic lmprovements Ccntract REV 7, 12.261&doc
12.2 Should Owner have any objections to the employment of any person or entity named on
the list of Subcontractors delivered to Owner pursuant to the foregoing Paragraph, Owner
shall serve written notice of such objection on Contractor within five (5) business days
after the delivery of such list and Contractor shall substitute another person or entity
acceptable to Owner in place of the person or entity to whom such objection was made.
12.3 Contractor shall not employ any person or entity as a Subcontractor on the Improvements
that has been objected to by Owner. Failure of Owner to serve written notice on
Contractor pursuant to Paragraph 12.2 of any objections it may have to any person or
entity named on the list of Subcontractors within five (5) business days after the delivery
of such list to Owner shall constitute approval by Owner of the employment of such
person or entity as a Subcontractor on the Improvements.
12.4 Contractor shall be as fully responsible to Owner for the acts and omissions of its
Subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by such
Subcontractors as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed
by Contractor.
12.5 Nothing contained in this Article or in any of the Contract Documents shall create a
contractual relationship of any kind between any Subcontractor and Owner.
ARTICLE 13 — PROTECTION AND CHARACTER OF WORKMEN
13.1 Contractor shall take all necessary precautions for the safety of persons employed to
work on the Improvements and shall without limiting the generality of the foregoing (i)
comply with all applicable provisions of any federal, state, county or municipal safety
laws, ordinances, regulations, or building codes, to prevent injury to such persons while
on, about, or adjacent to the Premises, (ii) properly erect and maintain at all times such
safeguards for the protection of persons employed to work on the Improvements as the
conditions and progress of the Work may require and (iii) conspicuously post such signs
as may be necessary to warn persons employed to work on the Improvements of all latent
hazards known to and created by Contractor existing on the Premises.
13.2 Contractor shall at all times be responsible for the conduct and discipline of Contractor's
employees and/or any Subcontractor or persons employed by Subcontractors. All
workmen must have sufficient knowledge, skill, and experience to perform properly the
work assigned to them. Any supervisor, foreman or workmen employed by Contractor or
any Subcontractor who does not perform his work in a skillful manner or appears to be
incompetent or to act in a disorderly or intemperate manner shall, at the written request of
Owner, be discharged immediately and shall not be employed again in any portion of the
Work without the approval of Owner.
ARTICLE 14 — PROTECTION OF PROJECT

G:1Developmentlprojects\DFW1_Legacy ProjectsUberty Trails (Brook6eld)1DEVELOPMENT Generic improvements -Contract REV 7.12.2M.doc
14.1 Contractor shall furnish and install at its own cost and expense such material and devices
as are customarily furnished by similar contractors in the industry to protect the
Improvements or any part thereof from damage or destruction by rain, wind, or the
elements prior to full and final completion of the Improvements. Contractor shall be
responsible for such protection of the Improvements until acceptance by Owner.
14.2 In the event of an emergency endangering life or property, Contractor shall perform any
work and shall furnish and install any materials and equipment necessary or prudent
during the emergency. In all cases Contractor shall notify Owner of the emergency as
soon as practicable, but it shall not wait for instructions before proceeding to properly
protect both life and property. Unless caused by Contractor, its employees, agents or
Subcontractors, Contractor shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from Owner for
such materials or equipment furnished during any such emergency.
ARTICLE 15 — INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
15.1 Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner and Construction Manager, their
