ARTICLE 8
CONTRACT PRICE
City shall pay, and Contractor shall accept, as full and complete payment for all Work
associated with each Job Order the amount approved and awarded to the Contractor as
a Job Order. Each Job Order will be a separate contract under this Contract. The general
terms and conditions will be established by this Contract and special contract provisions
will be established within each Job Order.
Job Order Construction Price, unless changed by Supplemental Agreement or Change
Order, represents the absolute limit of obligation or liability that City may ever have
insofar as the cost for full and final completion of the Work, and the total of all payments
to Contractor or its Subcontractors are concerned. Should additional amounts be required
to be expended, over and above a Job Order Construction Price, to achieve completion of
the Construction Work, including Project construction, and payment to Contractor, in
accordance with this Contract and any Special Provisions included in each awarded Job
Order, liability for and payment of such additional amounts shall be the sole responsibility
of Contractor and its Contract Surety herein, and City shall never be liable for same.
In addition to the Construction Work Contractor will perform, it will also provide all the
usual and necessary traditional construction management services incident to
construction projects of the nature and scope of this Project, for which the Management
Fee described in this Contract is paid. The services required are not intended in any
manner to diminish the overall responsibility of Contractor for the full and final
completion of the Construction Work within the time and cost constraints specified in this
Contract.
City agrees to pay Contractor for the Cost of the Construction Work as defined in each Job
Order, subject to submission by Contractor of all backup substantiation as may be
reasonably required by the City. In no event shall the sum of payments for the Cost of the
Construction Work and any other Contractor compensation exceed the Construction
Price, as adjusted by Change Order. The term "Cost of the Construction Work" shall be
defined in each Job Order and be established as a Firm-Fixed Price Contract.
ARTICLE 9
PAYMENT OF THE CONTRACT PRICE
Payments of the Contract Price will be made monthly as Work progresses, Payment
Applications, covering labor, material, equipment, supplies, and other items completed,
delivered or suitably stored on site during a period ending on the last calendar day of each
month, shall be submitted to the City by the Contractor on the current edition of AIA

Documents G702 and G703, within five (5) days after end of the period. Payment
Applications shall be notarized shall be supported by such data substantiating the
Contractor's right to payment as the City may require, and reflect retainage, if any, as is
provided, All payments shall be subject to any offset or retainage provisions of the
Contract.
Each payment made to the Contractor shall be on account of the total amount payable to
the Contractor, and title to all Work covered by a paid partial payment shall thereupon
pass to the City. Nothing in this section shall be construed as relieving the Contractor from
the sole responsibility for care and protection of materials and Work upon which
payments have been made, for restoration of any damaged Work, or as a waiver of the
right of the City to require fulfillment of all terms of Contract Documents.
The City, within seven (7) days after receipt of the Payment Application, will either issue
a Certificate for Payment for such amount as is properly due or issue written notice of the
reasons for withholding such a certificate.
The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the City,
observations at the site and the data comprising the Application for Payment, that the
Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work
for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to the
results of any subsequent tests required by or performed under the Contract Documents,
to minor deviations from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion, and
to any specific qualifications stated in his certificate); and that the Contractor is entitled
to payment in the amount certified.
Payment may be withheld in whole or in part to protect the City on account of:
(a) Unsatisfactory job progress as determined by the City.
(b) Defective Work or materials not remedied.
{c) Disputed Work or materials.
{d) Claims or other encumbrances filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing
of claims or other encumbrances by Subcontractors or Suppliers, or others.
(e) Failure of the Contractor to make payment to Subcontractors or Suppliers within
seven (7) days after receipt of each progress payment.
(f} A reasonable doubt as determined by the City that the Work can be completed for the
unpaid balance of the Contract Price or within the Contract Time.
(g) The Contractor's failure to perform any of its contractual obligations under the
Contractor Documents, or any other Contract with the City.
(h) Deficiencies or claims asserted by City against Contractor arising from any other
project. Within fourteen (14) days following the receipt of the Certificate of Payment,
the City shall pay to the Contractor 90% of the value of the Work in place and materials
suitably stored at the Site. The remaining 10% shall be retained by the City until the
Contract is 50% completed at which time the retainage shall be reduced to 5%;

JOC General Construction
provided that: (a) the Contractor is making satisfactory progress on the Contract; and
(b) in the City's sole judgment, there is no specific cause or claim requiring a greater
amount than 5% to be retained. Thereafter, the City shall pay the Contractor 95% of
the value of the Work, unless and until it determines satisfactory progress is not being
made, at which time the 10% retainage may be reinstated. Such 10% reinstatement
would be 10% of the total contract value of Work in place and materials stored. The
City's sole judgment concerning the satisfactory progress of the Work shall be final.
Within sixty (60) days after the issuance of the Certificate of Final Completion by the City
and receipt of all other documents required by the Contract, all retained amounts shall
be paid to Contractor as part of Final Payment:
(a) The Final Payment shall not become due until the Contractor delivers to the City full
and final unconditional releases from Subcontractors and major Suppliers
acknowledging payment in full. Any claim filed thereafter shall be the responsibility
of the Contractor.
(b) If any claim remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Contractor shall
immediately upon demand refund to the City all monies that the latter may be
compelled to pay in discharging such claim including all costs, interest and attorneys’
fees.
ARTICLE 10
SUBSTANTIAL AND FINAL COMPLETION
"Substantial Completion" means that stage in the progression of the Construction Work,
as approved by City in writing, when the Project is sufficiently complete in accordance
with the Contract that City can enjoy beneficial use or occupancy of the entire Project and
can utilize it for all of its intended purposes. A condition precedent to Substantial
Completion is the receipt by City of all necessary authorizations for the use of the Project
required by any governmental or regulatory authority. City reserves the right to use any
part, phase or system of the Project when such part, phase or system is substantially
completed, but such partial use of the Project shall not result in the Project being deemed
substantially complete, and such partial use shall not be evidence of Substantial
Completion.
When Contractor believes that the Construction Work is substantially complete,
Contractor shall notify the City in writing and shall submit to City a list of items remaining
to be completed or corrected. The City, the City's designee, (or an independent consultant
hired by City) will perform an inspection. If the Construction Work is substantially
complete, in the sole opinion of City, City will prepare a 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 Project
security, maintenance, damage to the Construction Work, and insurance, and shall fix the
date, not more than 30 days after the established date of Substantial Completion, within
15
Contract No. 2020001.01
Brycon
JOC General Construction
which Contractor shall complete any items of incomplete or defective Construction Work.
The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to Contractor for its written
acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to it in such certificate.
Upon Substantial Completion of the Construction Work, and upon execution by both City
and Contractor of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, City shall pay Contractor,
within thirty (30) days, all sums due Contractor, including such amount of retainage as
the City in its sole discretion wishes to pay based upon the value of remaining
performance, less the reasonable costs, as determined by City in City's sole discretion, for
completing all incomplete Construction Work and/or any Design Services, correcting and
bringing into strict conformance all defective and nonconforming Construction Work, and
handling all outstanding or threatened claims.
"Final Completion" means the completion of all Work required by, and in strict
compliance with, this Contract, the Job Order, including Contractor's provision to City of
all documents and deliverables required to be provided by the Contract.
When Contractor believes that all of the Construction Work is finally complete, and
Contractor is ready for a final inspection, Contractor shall so notify the City in writing. The
City (or an independent consultant hired by City) will then make final inspection of the
Construction Work and, if the Construction Work is complete in strict accordance with
the Contract, and the Contract has been fully performed, then City will issue a Certificate
for Final Payment, providing for payment of the remainder of the Contract Price, less any
amount withheld pursuant to the Contract.
City shall make final payment of all remaining sums due to Contractor within thirty (30)
days after Final Completion as reflected by City's Certificate for Final Payment, provided
that all documents and deliverables required to be delivered to City under this Contract
have been delivered as required, and provided that all other conditions precedent to
payment have been satisfied.
Prior to being entitled to receive final payment, and as a condition precedent thereto,
Contractor shall furnish City, in the form and manner required by the City, the following:
(a) an Affidavit of Final Payment and Release, in particular certifying that all
Subcontractors and Suppliers have been paid all sums lawfully due to them, and
releasing City from all claims that Contractor had or might have asserted during the
performance of this Contract;
(b) if required by City, separate releases of lien or lien waivers from each Subcontractor,
lower tier subcontractor, laborer, Supplier or other person or entity who has, or might
assert a claim against City or City's property;
(c) consent of surety to final payment;
(d) a complete set of the as-built drawings to include AutoCAD disks and the record set
of Contract Documents; and
