same. Owner will cooperate with Contractor to obtain tax exemption for this
project.
3. Contractor shall be responsible for having taken steps reasonably necessary to
ascertain the nature and location of the Work, and the general and local
conditions which can affect the Work or the cost thereof. Any failure by
Contractor to do so will not relieve him from responsibility for successfully
performing the Work without additional expense to the Owner. Owner assumes
no responsibility for any understanding or representations concerning conditions
made by any of its officers, employees or agents prior to the execution of this
Agreement, unless such understanding or representations are expressly stated
in the Agreement.

names of subcontractors and suppliers for each portion of the Work.
7. No charge shall be made by Contractor for hindrances or delays from any cause
whatever during the progress of any portion of the Work, unless such hindrance
or delay is caused in whole or in part by acts or omissions within the control of
Owner. In any event, Owner may grant an extension of time for the completion
of the Work, provided it is satisfied that delays or hindrances were due to causes
outside Contractor's control, e.g., weather, or to acts of omission or commission
by the Owner, provided that such extensions of time shall in no instance exceed
the time actually lost to Contractor by reason of such causes, and provided
further that Contractor shall have given Owner-immediate (as determined by the
circumstances, but not exceeding 48 hours) notice in writing of the cause of the
detention or delay.
.--. -_._-_..-------- -----..-.._--- ---

If the surety on any bond furnished by Contractor is declared bankrupt, or
becomes insolvent, or its right to do business is terminated in any state where

obtain protective Liability Insurance issued to and covering the liability for
damages imposed by law upon the Owner with respect to all operations under

percent (100%) of the amount of this contract and authorized extras. Such
policy shall not insure any tools or equipment, or temporary structures erected at
the site and belonging to any person or persons, or their subcontractors who are
obliged by contract with the Owner to do Work on the projects.
Comprehensive Risk Policy Option: In lieu of the several policies specified for

and all subcontractors, and any and all others obliged by contract with the Owner

----"._'~ n ~_'__"'__"'___'.~_'_
persons whom the Owner deems to have an insurable interest in said property,
or any part thereof, payable as their several interests may appear. Any proceeds
obtained from insurance provided for by this paragraph shall be paid to and held
by the Owner as trustee. The Owner shall have the right to withhold payment of
such proceeds until such time as the Work destroyed or damaged and covered
by such insurance shall be reconstructed and shall pay such proceeds on an
installment basis similar to that provided for by progress payments covering the
original Work.

be filed with the Owner prior to commencement of the Work. These Certificates

thirty days prior written notice has been given the Owner. Contractor and his
subcontractors shall not permit any of his subcontractors to start Work until all

endorsements have been filed with the Owner. Failure of the Contractor to
comply with the foregoing insurance requirements shall in no way waive the
Owner's rights hereunder.
15. Owner, at its option, may purchase and maintain such liability insurance as will
protect him against claims which may arise from operations under this contract.

Contractor from purchasing and maintaining the insurance hereinbefore
specified.

contract, Contractor shall either (a) require each of his subcontractors to procure
and maintain during the life of his subcontracts, Subcontractor's Public Liability

harmless Owner, its board, commissioners, employees and the agents of any of
them, from and against claims, damages, losses and expenses, including butnot

Work, provided that such claim, damage, loss or expense is attributable to bodily
injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible
property (other than the Work itself) including loss of use resulting therefrom, but
only to the extent caused in whole or in part by negligent acts or omissions of the
Contractor, a subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or
anyone for whose acts they may be liable, regardless of whether or not such
claim, damage, loss or expense is caused in part by a party indemnified
hereunder.

be written orders and shall be binding on the Contractor and Owner.
Contractor shall carry out such written orders promptly.
19. Progress Payments:
If the project is subject to progress payments, not more often than once a month,
Contractor shall submit to Owner an application for payment filled out and signed
by Contractor covering the work completed as of the date of the application, and
accompanied by such supporting documentation as Owner may reasonably
require. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not
incorporated in the work, but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at
another location agreed to in writing, the application for payment shall also be
accompanied by such data, satisfactory to Owner, as will establish Owner's title
to the material and equipment, and protect Owner's interest therein, including
applicable insurance. Each subsequent application for payment shall include an
affidavit of Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received on
account of the work have been applied to discharge in full all of Contractor's
obligations reflected in prior applications for payment The amount of retainage
with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.
Owner will, with ten days after receipt of each application for payment, either
indicate in writing a recommendation of payment, or return the application to
Contractor indicating in writing its reasons for refusing to recommend payment.
In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit
the application. Owner shall, within twenty days of recommendation of payment,
pay Contractor the amount recommended.
- '--~-_.,--- -'_.....__.._~.----
20. Final Payment:
Upon written notice from Contractor that the work is complete, Owner will make a
final inspection with Contractor, and will notify Contractor in writing of all
particulars in which this inspection reveals that the work is incomplete or
defective. Contractor shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to
remedy such deficiencies.
After Contractor has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of Owner,
and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules,
guarantees, bonds, certificates of inspection, marked-up record documents or
as-built drawings covering all of the Work, Contractor may make application for
final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The final
application for payment shall be accompanied by all documentation cal/ed for in
the contract documents, and such other data and schedules as Owner may
reasonably require, together with complete and legally effective releases or
waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all liens arising out of, or filed in connection
with the work. In lieu thereof, and as approved by Owner, Contractor may
furnish receipts or releases in full; an affidavit of Contractor that the releases and
receipts include aI/labor, services, material, and equipment for which lien could
be filed, and that all payrolls, material, and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the work, for which Owner or his property might in
any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied; and consent of
the surety, if any, to final payment. If any subcontractor, manufacturer,
fabricator, supplier, or distributor fails to furnish a release or receipt in full,
Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to
indemnify against any lien.
21. Final payment shall not become due until Contractor submits to Owner releases
and waivers of liens, and data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations,
such as receipts, claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the
Work. Final payment is subject to the Final Settlement requirements and time
periods set forth in C.R.S. s38-26-107.
22. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all work, materials, and
equipment covered by any application for payment, whether incorporated in the
project or not, will pass to Owner at the time of payment free and clear of all
liens, claims, security interests, and encumbrances (in these General Conditions
referred to as "Liens").
23. Contractor's obligations to perform and complete the Work in accordance with
the contract documents shall be absolute. Neither the recommendation of any
progress or final payment nor the payment by Owner to Contractor under the
contract documents, nor any use or occupancy of the Work or any part thereof
by Owner, nor any act of acceptance by Owner, nor any failure to do so, nor any
correction of defective Work by Owner shall constitute an acceptance of Work
'~"-_..__.__._.'----
not in accordance with the contract documents or a release of Contractor's
obligation to perform the Work in accordance with the contract documents.
24. If Contractor fails to correct Work which is not in accordance with the Agreement,
the Owner may direct the Contractor to stop the Work until the correction is
made.
25. Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by Owner as failing to conform to
the requirements of the Agreement and Contractor shall bear the cost of
correcting such rejected Work.
26. Contractor warrants to Owner that: (1) materials and equipment furnished under
the Agreement will be new and of good quality; (2) the Work will be free from
defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted; and (3) the Work will
conform to the requirements of the Agreement.
27. Contractor warrants and guarantees to Owner that all Work will be in accordance
with the Contract Documents and will not be defective. Prompt notice of all
defects shall be given to Contractor. If, within one year after the date of
completion, or such longer period of time as may be set forth in the Agreement
(including the Bid), prescribed by law, prescribed by the terms of any applicable
warranty given by a materials supplier or required by or a part of the Agreement,
any Work is found to be defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to .
Owner, and in accordance with Owner's written instructions, either correct such
defective Work, or, if it has been rejected by Owner, remove it from the site, and
replace it with nondefective work. If Contractor does not promptly comply with
the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause
serious risk of loss or damage, Owner may have the defective Work corrected or
the rejected Work removed and replaced, and all direct and indirect costs of
such removal and replacement, including compensation for additional
professional services, shall be paid by Contractor.
28. If Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the
Agreement and fails within a seven day period after receipt of written notice from
the Owner to correct such default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the
Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies, correct such deficiencies. In
such case, the Agreement may be terminated by Owner or a Change Order shall
be issued deducting the cost of correction from payments due the Contractor.
29. The performance of the Work may be terminated at any time in whole, or from
time-to-time in part, by Owner for its convenience. Any such termination shall be
effected by delivery to Contractor of a written notice ("Notice of Termination")
specifying the extent to which performance of the Work is terminated and the
date upon which termination becomes effective. After receipt of a Notice of
Termination, and except as otherwise directed by Owner, Contractor shall, in
good faith, and to the best of its ability, do all things necessary, in the light of
-_._-,------~. ..'_____._..'u._____ .-.-+ '~--"
such notice and of such requests in implementation thereof as Owner may
make, to assure the efficient, proper closeout of the terminated Work (including
the protection of Owner's property). Among other things, Contractor shall,
except as otherwise directed or approved by Owner:
a. stop the Work on the date and to the extent specified in the Notice of
Termination;
b. place no further order or subcontracts for services, equipment or materials
except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the Work as
is not terminated;
c. terminate all orders and subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the
performance of Work terminated by the Notice of Termination;
d. assign to Owner, in the manner and to the extent directed by it, all of the
right, title and interest of Contractor under the orders or subcontracts so
terminated, in which case Owner shall have the right to settle or pay any
or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders and
su bcontracts;
e. with the approval of Owner, settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims
arising out of such termination or orders and subcontracts; and
f. deliver to Owner, when and as directed by Owner, all documents and all
property which, if the Work had been completed, Contractor would be
required to account for or deliver to Owner, and transfer title to such
property to Owner to the extent not already transferred.
In the event of such termination, there shall be an equitable reduction of the Contract
Price to reflect the reduction in the Work and no cost incurred after the effective date of
the Notice of Termination shall be treated as a reimbursable cost unless it relates to.
