The Date of Commencement of the Work is the date established in the Notice to Proceed. If there is no notice to proceed, it shall be the date of the Agreement or such other date as may be established therein. The Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof is the Date certified by the Architect with the approval of the Owner that construction is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the Contract Documents, so the Owner may occupy the Work or designated portion thereof for the use for which it is intended. Final acceptance of the completed work or any portion thereof can be made only by the Owner, and no other form of acceptance will be binding upon the Owner. A Calendar Dav constitutes 24 hours of time and is any one of the seven days of a week, including Sunday, regardless of whether a "Working Day" or not, and regardless of weather conditions or any situation which might delay construction. An extension of contract time shall be in accordance with this Section. Extensions of time will be as recommended by the Architect with final approval by City of Fort Worth. General Conditions of the Contract for Construction Lump Sum Contract Page 14 of 26 CFW PMD — Sedalco - WRMC Burnett Stalls Replacement December 2024 A Workina Davis defined as a calendar day, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, in which weather or other conditions not under the control of the Contractor permit the performance of work for a continuous period of not less than seven hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. However, nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as prohibiting the Contractor from working on Saturdays if he so desires. Should the Contractor choose to work on Saturdays, one day will be charged as contract -working time when weather or other conditions permit seven hours of work as delineated above. Legal holidays are defined as being New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. If Juneteenth, Independence Day, Christmas Day or New Year's Day falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is a legal holiday.

H-2 PROGRESS AND COMPLETION: All the time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of essence to the Contract. The Contractor shall begin the Work on the date of commencement as defined in this Section. He shall carry the Work forward expeditiously with adequate forces and shall complete it within the Contract Time. H-3 CONSTRUCTION WORK: Noise created by construction work within three hundred (300) feet of an occupied residential structure involving the erection, excavation, demolition, alteration, or repair of any building, structure, or flatwork is prohibited as follows: Before 7:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. Monday -Friday Before 9:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. Saturday -Sunday H-4 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME: If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by any act or neglect of the Owner or the Architect, or by any employee of the Owner, or by any separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties or any causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by any cause which the Architect determines may justify the delay, then the contract time may be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as recommended by the Architect and approved by the Owner. When the Contractor is delayed due to abnormal weather conditions, the Fort Worth Weather Table provided in these Contract Documents shall be used as the basis for providing a fair and equitable adjustment of the contract time. All claims for extension of time shall be made in writing to the Architect no more than fifteen days after the occurrence of the delay; otherwise they shall be waived. If no schedule or agreement is made stating the dates upon which written interpretations shall be furnished, then no claim for delay shall be allowed on account of failure to furnish such interpretation until fifteen days after demand is made for them, and not then unless such a claim is reasonable. H-5 WEATHER: The Fort Worth Weather Table is to be used as a basis for calculation of excess rain or weather days for projects with duration in calendar days. If the site records indicate that the Contractor was unable to carry out operations due to weather, it is counted as a weather day. If the number of weather days exceeds the number of average rain days plus the snow/ice- pellet days for the contract duration, the contract period will be adjusted by Change Order. H-6 NO DAMAGE FOR DELAY: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Contractor shall never be entitled to any compensation or damages for delay of any nature.

When such extra compensation is claimed a written statement thereof shall be presented by the Contractor to the Architect and if found to be correct shall be approved and referred by him to the Council for final approval or disapproval; and the action thereon by the Council shall be final and binding. If delay is caused by specific orders given by the Architect or Owner to stop work, or by the performance of extra work, or by the failure of the Owner to provide material or necessary instructions for carrying on the work, then such delay will entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, his application for which shall, however, be subject to the approval of the Owner and no such extension of time shall release the Contractor or the surety on its performance bond from all his obligations here under which shall remain in full force until the discharge of the contract.

For contracts less than $400,000, Owner shall pay 90% of the approved estimate to the Contractor within seven days after approval, and the remaining 10% of each such estimate will be retained by the Owner until Substantial Completion. For contracts in excess of $400,000, the Owner will retain only 5% of each estimate until Substantial Completion. No Certificate for a progress payment, nor any progress payment, nor any partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner, shall constitute an acceptance of any Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents, or relieve the Contractor of liability in respect to any warranties or responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship. The Contractor shall promptly remedy any defects in the Work and pay for any damage to other work resulting therefrom that shall appear within a period of one year from the date of final acceptance of the Work unless a longer period is specified. 1-5 PAYMENTS WITHHELD: The Architect may decline to approve an Application for Payment and may withhold the Certificate in whole or in part if in their opinion they are unable to make the representations to the Owner as provided in this Section. The Architect may also decline to approve any Applications for Payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent inspections, may nullify the whole or any part of any Certificate for Payment previously issued to such extent as may be necessary in their opinion to protect the Owner from loss because of: 1) Defective work not remedied; 2) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims; 3) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors, or for labor, materials or equipment; 4) Reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum; 5) Damage to another contractor; 6) Reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time; or 7) Unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by the Contractor. When such grounds for the refusal of payment are removed, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them, without payment of interest. The Owner reserves the right to withhold the payment of any monthly estimate, without payment of interest, if the Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the specifications or instructions of the Architect. 1-6 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: The parties agree and acknowledge that actual damages are uncertain and difficult to ascertain because the Project relates to construction for a municipality. Normal damages of lost rent or profit are not applicable in this circumstance because the City is a municipality and the Project will not receive rent and the City will not have lost profits. Therefore, the parties agree that because City's actual damages are too difficult to ascertain that the liquidated damages stated below are reasonable and a correct representation of actual damages to the City. The parties also agree that the liquidated damages called for in this contract are not a penalty but an agreed upon damages calculation by two sophisticated parties.

(CD 7) Authorize the Execution of a Construction Contract with SEDALCO, Inc. d/b/a SEDALCO Construction Services, in an Amount Not to Exceed $3,720,183.00, for the Will Rogers Memorial Center Burnett Building and Stall Renovation RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a construction contract with SEDALCO, Inc. d/b/a SEDALCO Construction Services, in an amount not to exceed $3,720,183.00 including the owner's construction allowance, for the Will Rogers Memorial Center Burnett Building and Stall Renovation project (City Project No. 104397). DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor & Council Communication is to authorize the execution of a construction contract with SEDALCO, Inc. d/b/a SEDALCO Construction Services. The Burnett Building at the Will Rogers Memorial Center (WRMC) was originally constructed in 1988. The building is approximately 175,400 square feet and is mostly comprised of horse stall areas. Cattle pens are located in the center of the facility. There are aisles and/or tunnels that connect directly to the Coliseum as well as to the Richardson -Bass Building. This building also contains veterinary and wash facilities for animals, a fire station, a small concession stand, and a few administration offices as well as restrooms and several other support spaces. As a result of the 2018 WRMC Facilities Assessment, major issues were discovered that include (but not limited to) the following: The current stall panels currently located in the Burnett Building, at the WRMC, are heavy, bulky, and pose a danger to employees with numerous movements throughout the year. The majority of the plumbing systems in the Burnett Building are original from when the building was constructed and require major repair and replacement. The floors in the equestrian stall areas are heaving from constant use by horse traffic and are creating opportunities for liquids to pool instead of draining to floor drains. These pooling, low-lying areas not only contribute to the degradation of the concrete and asphalt surfaces below but are also dangerous uneven surfaces for both pedestrians and animals. The power distribution is inadequate and does not meet the various stall configurations required for different events. This project will address the prementioned issues as well as the following: The design and manufacturing of new lightweight, durable, and transportable stall panels to include power distribution cable protection. Repair and replace water and sanitary sewer lines and replace fire risers valves and hose cabinets. Improve overall power distribution throughout the interior of the building to the end user by upgrading existing electrical equipment such as switchboard, transformers, and associated wiring. Replace existing asphalt and concrete floors.
