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 � 10/11/99 �, intended. Final acceptance of the completed work or any portion thereof can be made only by the City Council of the City of Fort Worth or iYs designated Assistant City Manager, and no other form of acceptance will be binding upon the Owner. A calendar day 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. A working day is 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 shati 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, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, Memorial Day, and Veteran's Day. H-2 PROGRESS AND COMPLETION.

When the Contractor is delayed due to abnormal weather conditions, the weather table provided as WT-1 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 ciaim 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� NO DAMAGE FOR DELAY. No payment, compensation or adjustment or any kind (other than the extensions of time provided for) shall be made to the contractor for damages because of hindrances or delays from an cause in the progress of the work, whether such hindrances or delays be avoidable or unavoidable, and the contractor agrees that he will make no claim for GC - 12 of 23 I--_.� �..-;j. .� �� '� J ^�I��I�.�� ;_: �'� u'��UG�� C��GU:�:�� 1ti'�` �"[��V °��,��I�'� �;`:i;y �,J�'�i�la �'�U�� . r � Ir~ �, � �, �� i.., �, r �.. compensation, damages or miGgation of liquidated damages for any such delays, and will accept in full satisfaction for such delays said extension of time.

If the Contractor has made Application for Payment as above, the above, the Architect will, with reasonable promptness but not more than seven days after the receipt of the Applicatio�, prepare a Certificate of Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount determined to be properly due, or state in writing reasons for withholding a Certificate. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Architect to the Owner, based on the ArchitecYs observations at the site and the data comprising the Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests required by the Contract Documents, to minor deviations from the Contract Documents correctable prior to comp�etion, and to any specific qualifications stated in the Certificate); and recommendations to the Owner that the Contractor be paid in the amount certified.

For contracts in excess of $400,000, the Owner will retain only 5% of each estimate until the fina� estimate is approved and work accepted by the City Council of the City of Fort Worth. 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.

Although the claim concerned remains unsettled at the expiration of the above 30-day period, the Contractor may be deemed to be entitled to a semi-final payment for work completed, such semi-final payment to be in an amount equal to the total dollar amount then due less the dollar value of any written claims pending against the Contractor arising out of the performance of such work, and such semi-final payment may then be recommended by the Director. The Director shall not recommend final payment to a Contractor against whom such a claim for damages is outstanding for a period of six months following the date of the acceptance of the work performed unless the Contractor submits evidence in writing satisfactory to the Director that: 1) The claim has been settled and a release has been obtained from the claimant involved, or 2) Good faith efforts have been made to settle such out- standing claims, and such good faith efforts have failed. If condition (1) above is met at any time within the six month period, the Director shall recommend that the final payment to the Contractor be made. If condition (2) above is met at any time within the six-month period, the Director may recommend that the final payment to the Contractor be made. At the expiration of the six- month period the Director may recommend that final payment be made if all other work has been performed and all other obligations of the Contractor have been met to the satisfaction of the Director. The Director may, if he deems it appropriate, refuse to accept bids on other Transportation and Public Works Department contract work from a Contractor against whom a claim for damages is outstanding as a result of work performed under a City contract. 1-8 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: The deduction for liquidated damages shall be as follows: Amount of Contract Liquidated Damages Per Day $15,000 or less $45 $15,001 to $25,000 $ 63 $25,001 to $50,000 $105 10/ 11 /99 1) Contractor's A�davit of Payment of Debts and Claims (G706) stating that all payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or his property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied, 2) Consent of Surety to Final Payment (G707), if anv, ta final payment, � u�'�'�!I�� Ui.1:% �i,� ��'llvl'J' C) �U� GC - 14 of 23 ;;V j`��i ��i� ° � ^ � �Gt�. ��., �_?� i��: �� !��a ��o $50,001 to $100,000 $154 $100,OOOto $500,000 $210 $500,001 to $1,000,000 $315 $1,000,001 to $2,000,000 $420 $2,000,001 to $5,000,000 $630 $5,000,001 to $10,000,000 $840 over$10,000,000 $980 I-9 FAILURE OF PAYMENT If, without fault on the part of the Contractor, the Architect should fail to issue any Certificate for Payment within seven days after receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, if the Contractor's Application for Payment, or if, without fault on the part of the Contractor, the Owner should fail to approve such estimate or to pay to the Contractor 90% or 95% (as applicable) of the amount thereof within the penod of time specified, then the Contractor may, upon seven (7) days additional written notice to the Owner and to the Architect, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received.
