the Design-Builder shall provide to the Owner a schedule of values consisting of a breakdown of the
Open Book Price with separate line items for the major elements of the Construction Work included
in the Lump Sum Price.
6.1.2 If the Owner disagrees with the values utilized by the Design-Builder in the
schedule of values,the Owner shall provide the Design-Builder a written objection to the schedule of
values within seven(7)days after the Owner's receipt of the schedule of values,specifically stating

schedule of values which would be satisfactory to the Owner. In the event of objection by the
Owner,the Design-Builder and the Owner shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objection
before commencement of the Construction Work. The Design-Builder shall not be required to
commence the Construction Work until all such objections are resolved. If any such delays in the

adjustment of the Contract Time.

6.2.2 Within ten (10) days after the Owner's receipt of each monthly application for
payment, the Owner shall give written notice to the Design-Builder of the Owner's acceptance,

6.2.3 Justification for Owner's Adjustment. For the following reasons, the Owner
may reject or adjust an application for payment submitted by the Design-Builder to the extent
necessary to protect the Owner from loss or damage for which Design-Builder is responsible under
this Agreement:
6.2.3.1 The Design-Builder repeatedly fails to perform the Construction Work as required
by the Construction Documents;
6.2.3.2 The Owner suffers or incurs a loss or damage arising out of this Agreement and
caused by the Design-Builder, but only to the extent that such loss or damage is not covered by
insurance provided by Design-Builder or by Owner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
6.2.3.3 The Owner receives notice that the Design-Builder has failed to pay Design
Consultants, Subcontractors, or other persons supplying materials, equipment or supplies
incorporated into the Construction Work, when the Owner has paid the Design-Builder for such
Construction Work;
6.2.3.4 The Design-Builder fails to correct Defective Work in a timely manner as provided
in this Agreement; or
6.2.3.5 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price is insufficient to pay for the cost to
complete the Construction Work required under this Agreement.
6.2.3.5 When the above basis for rejecting or adjusting an application for payment has
been removed, the Owner will make payment within thirty (30) days to the Design-Builder for the
amounts previously withheld.
6.2.4 Retainage Before Substantial Completion. From each progress payment
made prior to the time of Substantial Completion of the Construction Work,the Owner may retain five
percent (5%) of the amount otherwise due under this Agreement.
6.2.5 Retainage After Substantial Completion. Upon Substantial Completion of
the Construction Work, the Owner shall pay the Design-Builder the unpaid balance of the Contract
Price, less a sum equal to 150%of the Design-Builder's estimated cost of completing any unfinished
items,as agreed to between the Owner and the Design-Builder. The Owner thereafter shall pay the
Design-Builder monthly the amount retained for unfinished items as each item is completed.
6.2.6 Owner's Failure to Pay. If the Owner fails to pay the Design-Builder at the
time payment of any amount becomes due, and such amount remains unpaid for a period of seven
(7) days, then (i)within three (3) Owner business days after the Owner's receipt of notice from the
Design-Builder of the Design-Builder's intention to cease work on the Project,the Design-Builder may
stop all work on the Project until full payment of the amount owing has been received by the Design-
Builder and (ii) within seven (7) days after the Owner's receipt of notice of termination from the
Design-Builder, the Design-Builder may terminate this Agreement. Payments due but unpaid
pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest at the rate set forth for past due construction
payments in Chapter 2251 of the Texas Government Code.

title to all work, materials, and equipment covered by an application for payment, whether
incorporated in the Project or not,will pass to the Owner upon receipt by Design-Builder of payment
for the application for payment, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances. The Owner's payment of an application for payment, whether in whole or in part,
shall not be deemed acceptance of any Construction Work not conforming to the requirements of the
Construction Documents, it being the duty and responsibility of the Design-Builder to perform the
Construction Work in accordance with the requirements of the Construction Documents.
6.3 Final Payment.
6.3.1 Upon completion of all work under this Agreement, including punch list work,
Design-Builder shall submit an invoice to Owner for the final Contract Price, less progress payments
previously received (the "Final Invoice").

Owner disagrees with the Design-Builder's Final Invoice notice thereof shall be provided to Design-
Builder not later than 35 days following Design-Builder's submission of its Final Invoice. Such notice
of disagreement must describe in detail those portions of the Final Invoice disputed and the
reason(s).
6.3.3 If Owner disagrees or objects with the Final Invoice,payment shall nevertheless be
made for the undisputed balance, if any, due Design-Builder. Such payment of the undisputed
balance is due not later than 45 days following Design-Builder's submission of the Final Invoice.
With respect to the disputed amount of Design-Builder's Final Invoice the parties shall meet within
the 30-day period following Owner's notice of disagreement and attempt to resolve the dispute by
agreement. If that process is unsuccessful, the Owner and Design Builder shall submit the dispute
to non-binding mediation, and if such mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the dispute, either
Owner or Design-Builder may bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Tarrant County,
Texas.
6.3.4 In the event the final total Contract Price payable under this Agreement is less than
the sum of progress payments previously received, Design-Builder shall refund the amount of such
excess progress payments received to Owner within 10 days following the final determination of the
final total Contract Price. Any refund not so made shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent(10%)
per annum.
6.3.5 Owner shall pay Design-Builder interest at the rate set forth for past due
construction payments in Chapter 2251 of the Texas Government Code on any amounts not timely
paid under this Agreement. To the extent any disputed entitlement to payment is resolved in favor of
the Design-Builder, such interest shall be paid on the amount determined to be due Design-Builder
from the original due date of the disputed payment.

Time, to the extent that the Differing Site Condition adversely impacts design-Builder's costs and/or
time of performance. Upon encountering a manmade Differing Site Condition, Design-Builder shall
provide prompt written notice to Owner of such condition,which notice shall not be later than five(5)
business days after the impact of such manmade Differing Site Condition has been determined by
Design-Builder. Design-Builder shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide such notice in a
manner to allow the Owner to mitigate any costs or extra expenses arising out of the manmade
Differing Site Condition. Design-Builder waives any claim for additional time and/or compensation for
failure to provide written notice as required herein. Design-Builder shall not be entitled to any

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE NOTICE
TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002
You are hereby notified that pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the
"Act") effective November 26, 2002, we are making available to you coverage for losses
arising out of certain acts of international terrorism. Terrorism is defined as any act
certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and
the Attorney General of the United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or
an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in
damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier
or vessel or the premises of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an
individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, as part
of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the
policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion. Coverage for
acts of terrorism is already included in the captioned Surety Bond.
You should know that, effective November 26, 2002, any losses caused by acts of
terrorism covered by your Surety Bond will be partially reimbursed by the United States
under the formula set forth in the Act. Under this formula, the United States of America
pays 90% of covered terrorism losses that exceed the statutorily established deductible to
be paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The portion of your premium
that is attributable to coverage for such acts of terrorism is zero, because we could not
distinguish (and separately charge for) acts of terrorism from other causes of loss when
we calculated your premium.
If you have any questions about this notice,please contact your agent or broker.

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/11/2004 - Ordinance Nos. 15975 & 15976
CONTINUED FROM A PREVIOUS WEEK
DATE: Tuesday, March 23, 2004
LOG NAME: 52AUI REFERENCE NO.: C-20010
SUBJECT:
Approval of Appropriation Ordinances and Agreement with AUI Contractors, L.P. for the Design and
Construction of Two Citizen Drop Off Stations
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Solid Waste Fund by
$1,720,000, and decreasing unreserved retained earnings by the same amount; and
2. Authorize the transfer of $1,720,000 from the Solid Waste Fund to the Solid Waste Capital
Improvements Fund; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Solid Waste Capital Improvements Fund by$1,720,000 from available funds, and
4. Approve the execution of a Design/Build Agreement with AUI Contractors, L.P. for two Citizen Drop Off
Stations for a total cost not to exceed $1,500,000.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the new Solid Waste Services Program, Citizen Drop Off Stations were proposed as a means for
citizens to dispose of, and recycle various types of non-hazardous household solid waste material. This will
