Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the Work or any part of the Work after the time fixed for its completion, or after the date to which the time for completion may have been extended, whether or not a new completion date is established, shall in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the Owner of any of Owner's rights under this Agreement. 2.4 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES A.

Contractor agrees that Owner will suffer damage or financial loss if the Work is not completed on time or within any time extensions allowed in accordance with Part 12 of the General Conditions (Document 00 72 00). Contractor and Owner agree that proof of the exact amount of any such damage or loss is difficult to determine.

C. Interruption of Public Services: No interruption of public services shall be caused by Contractor, its agents or employees, without the Engineer's and Owner’s prior written approval.

C. Deduct Damages from Moneys Owed Contractor: Owner shall be entitled to deduct and retain liquidated damages out of any money which may be due or become due the Contractor. To the extent that the liquidated damages exceed any amounts that would otherwise be due the Contractor, the Contractor shall be liable for such amounts and shall return such excess to the Owner. 2.5 RETAINAGE A. Retainage is Owner's Option: Owner may, in its sole discretion, retain five percent of the value of all Work done and materials or equipment supplied as part security for the fulfillment of the Construction Contract by the Contractor. If, in Engineer's opinion, the Work is proceeding in accordance with Contractor's approved progress schedule, and all progress schedule submittals are current ---PAGE BREAK--- Agreement 00 52 00 - 5 and up to date, and all required payrolls, Shop Drawings, and miscellaneous submittals are current and up to date, the Owner may choose not to withhold retainage. 1. Reducing the Retainage: As the Work nears completion and solely at the Engineer's discretion, the Owner may reduce the retainage to an amount more in line with the Work actually remaining. 2. Retainage Held Until Final Payment: The Owner reserves the right to retain all amounts previously withheld or due the Contractor, including liquidated damages, until all Punch List items are complete. However, at Engineer's sole option, Engineer may authorize the release of up to all retained amounts except any liquidated damages and double Engineer's best estimate of the Contractor's cost to complete all remaining Punch List items. B. Interest: Except for money retained for items not provided or installed in accordance with the Contract Documents, any money retained by the Owner will be placed in an interest-bearing account held by the Owner in its Utah State Treasury Pool. The interest accrued thereon shall be the only interest paid to Contractor on the money retained and will be due and payable to the Contractor when the retained monies are paid. 2.6 PAYMENT PROCEDURES A. Progress Payments: Contractor shall submit Applications for Payment in accordance with Part 14 of the General Conditions (Document 00 72 00) and Section 01 29 00 (Payment Procedure). Payment will become due or payable only for items provided or installed by Contractor. If required by the Owner, any request or application by the Contractor for a partial payment shall be accompanied and supported by data establishing payment or satisfaction of all Contractor obligations for payroll, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness, with such data establishment to be evidenced by receipts, releases and waivers of lien, arising out of the contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated as acceptable and satisfactory by the Owner. The Owner may require such data, including but not limited to, and executed, completed lien waiver and release from all subcontractors, lower-tier subcontractors and suppliers. The submission of these items, if requested by the Owner with the Contractor’s application or request for a partial payment shall constitute a condition precedent to the Contractor’s right to any such partial payment, and any particular application or request for partial payment submitted without these items, if so requested by the Owner, shall be deemed incomplete. ---PAGE BREAK--- Agreement 00 52 00 - 6 1. Withholding Payment: Owner reserves the right to withhold payment from Contractor for noncompliance with any provision of the Contract Documents. 2. Price Adjustments: Owner will consider making partial payment to the Contractor for certain nonconforming work in advance of any negotiated settlement reached between the Contractor and the Owner, provided the Contractor requests in writing that this be done. Contractor agrees that any such payments made by the Owner are "payments in advance" and that any money which becomes due when the final settlement is negotiated will not constitute payments "withheld" or "retained" under State law. B. Final Payment: After completion of all Work and Punch List items, Owner shall pay the Contract Price due after deducting therefrom all previous payments, unit price quantity adjustments, penalties, liquidated damages, and other amounts to be retained. All prior progress payments shall be subject to correction in the final payment. The final payment shall not be due and payable until the expiration of 30 days from approval of the request for final payment of Contractor by Engineer and Owner. Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the contract sum, shall be paid by the Owner to the Contractor when the work has been completed, the contract fully performed, and a final certificate for payment has been issued by the Engineer. Neither the final payment nor the remaining retainage shall become due until the Contractor submits to the Owner through the Engineer, an affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the work for which the Owner might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied, consent of surety to final payment, and if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of all such obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens arising out of the contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If after substantial completion of the work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by the issuance of change orders affecting final completion, and the Engineer so confirms, the Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Engineer and without terminating the contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the contract documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of the Surety of the payment of the balance due for that portion of the work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Engineer prior to certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing payments as heretofore set forth, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Owner except those arising from: unsettled liens; faulty or defective work; failure of the work to comply with the requirements of the contract documents; or terms of any special warranties ---PAGE BREAK--- Agreement 00 52 00 - 7 required by the contract documents. The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contractor except those previously made in writing and identified by the Contractor as unsettled at the time of the final application for payment. All provisions of this agreement, including without limitation those establishing obligations and procedures, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the making or acceptance of final payment. 1. Submittal: Final payment shall not be made until the Contractor has delivered and Engineer has accepted all submittals specified in Article 14.8 of the General Conditions (Document 00 72 00). 2. Owner Released From Claims: The payment and acceptance of the final Contract Price due and the adjustment and payment for any Work done in accordance with any alterations of the same, shall release the Owner from any and all claims of Contractor on account of Work performed under the Contract Documents or any Modification thereof, except for those claims specifically agreed to as reserved and unresolved by the Owner. 2.7 EXTRA WORK A. No money will be paid to the Contractor for any additions, deletions or revisions in the Work as stipulated in Article 10.1 of the General Conditions (Document 00 72 00), unless a contract Modification for such has been made in writing and validly executed by the Owner and Contractor. PART 3 COVENANTS 3.1 ASSIGNMENT NOT BINDING WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT A. Owner and Contractor agree no assignment of any right or interest in the Contract Documents will be made without the written consent of the Owner and the Contractor. No assignment will release or discharge the Owner or the Contractor from any duty or responsibility under the Contract Documents unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent to an assignment. B. Contractor shall make no assignment of money that is due without the Owner's written consent (except to the extent that the effect of this restriction may be limited by Law or Regulation). ---PAGE BREAK--- Agreement 00 52 00 - 8 3.2 BINDING TERMS A.

Provisions concerning indemnification are set forth in Article 6.17 of the General Conditions (Document 00 72 00) as modified by Supplemental Conditions (Document 00 73 00). 3.4 DISPUTE RESOLUTION A. In General: 1. Unless a decision shall be held by an appropriate court of law to have been procured by fraud or to be arbitrary and capricious or so grossly erroneous as necessarily to imply bad faith, any factual decision made under this Article shall be final and binding in any suit or action arising under this Construction Contract, including any actions by Contractor or others against Owner or any of Owner's agents, consultants, or employees. 2. Compliance with provisions of this Article shall be a condition precedent prior to any legal action by the Contractor or any of Contractor's Subcontractors and Suppliers against Owner or any of Owner's agents, consultants, or employees. 3. The provisions of this Article shall not preclude or limit judicial review of issues of law. B. Disputes Not Related to the Guarantee of the Work: Any dispute arising under the Construction Contract concerning a question of fact, not related to the guarantee of the Work (Part 13 of the General Conditions (Document 00 72 00)), which is not disposed of by contract Modification shall be decided pursuant to the following procedure. 1. Any decision by Engineer interpreting the requirements of the Contract Documents may be appealed in writing to the Engineer.

Within 15 days from the receipt of any such appeal, the City Administrator shall issue a decision in writing and mail or otherwise furnish a copy thereof to the Contractor.

B. Work During Appeal: Notwithstanding the pendency of any protest or appeal provided above, Contractor shall, if so ordered by Engineer, proceed with the Work under the Contract Documents according to Engineer's direction and according to the decision on any appeal. The existence of a claim or protest shall not excuse Contractor from the requirements of the Contract Documents, including, but not limited to, the Contract Time. C. Appeals of Termination or Suspension: Any decision of Owner to terminate or suspend the Work shall not be subject to the provisions of this Article. 3.5 ATTORNEY’S FEES. A. In the event that either party institutes any action or proceeding against the other relating to the breach of any term of this agreement, then the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party for the reasonable expenses of such action including reasonable attorney fees, incurred therein by the successful party. 3.6 CONTRACTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS. ---PAGE BREAK--- Agreement 00 52 00 - 10 The Contractor represents and warrants the following to the Owner (in addition to any other representations and warranties contained in the Contract Documents), as an inducement to the Owner to execute this Agreement, which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement, and the final completion of the Work: A. that it and its Subcontractors are financially solvent, able to pay all debts as they mature, and possessed of sufficient working capital to complete the Work and perform all obligations hereunder; B. that it is able to furnish the plant, tools, materials, supplies, equipment, and labor required to complete the Work and perform its obligations hereunder; C. that it is authorized to do business in the State of Utah and properly licensed by all necessary governmental and public and quasi-public authorities having jurisdiction over it and over the Work and the Project; D. that its duly authorized representative has visited the site of the Project, familiarized himself with the local and special conditions under which the Work is to be performed, and correlated his observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents; and E. that it possesses a high level of experience and expertise in the business administration, construction, construction management, and superintendence of projects of the size, complexity, and nature of this particular Project, and it will perform the Work with the care, skill and diligence of such a contract.

General: Immediately before placing asphalt materials, remove loose and deleterious material from substrate surfaces. Ensure that prepared subgrade is ready to receive paving. 1. Sweep loose granular particles from surface of unbound-aggregate base course. DO not dislodge or disturb aggregate embedded in compacted surface of base course. B. Prime Coat: Apply uniformly over surface of compacted unbound-aggregate base course at a rate of 0.1 5 to 0.50 gal./sq. yd. (0.7 to 2.3 L/sq. Apply enough material to penetrate and seal but not flood surface. Allow prime coat to cure for 72 hours minimum. 1. If prime coat is not entirely absorbed within 24 hours after application, spread sand over surface to blot excess asphalt. Use enough sand to prevent pickup under traffic. Remove loose sand by sweeping before pavement is placed and after volatiles have evaporated. 2. Protect primed substrate from damage until ready to receive paving. 3.3 HOT MIX ASPHALT PLACING A. Machine place hot-mix asphalt on prepared surface, spread uniformly, and strike off. Place asphalt mix by hand to areas inaccessible to equipment in a manner that prevents segregation of mix. Place each course to required grade, cross section, and thickness when compacted. 1. Spread mix at minimum temperature of 250 deg F (121 deg 2. Begin applying mix along centerline of crown for crowned sections and on high side of one-way slopes, unless otherwise indicated. 3. Regulate paver machine speed to obtain smooth, continuous surface free of pulls and tears in asphalt-paving mat. B. Place paving in consecutive strips not less than 10 feet (3 m) wide unless infill edge strips of a lesser width are required. 1. After first strip has been placed and rolled, place succeeding strips and extend rolling to overlap previous strips. Complete a section of asphalt base course before placing asphalt surface course. C. correct surface irregularities in paving course behind paver. Use suitable hand tools to remove excess material forming high spots. Fill depressions with hot-mix asphalt to prevent segregation of mix, use suitable hand tools to smooth surface. 3.4 JOINTS A. Construct joints to ensure a continuous bond between adjoining paving sections. Construct joints free of depressions with same texture and smoothness as other sections of hot-mix asphalt course. 1. Clean contact surfaces and apply tack coat to joints. 2. Offset longitudinal joints, in successive courses, a minimum of 6 inches (150 mm). 3. Offset transverse joints, in successive courses, a minimum of 24 inches (600 mm). 4. Construct transverse joints as described in A1 MS-22, "Construction of Hot Mix Asphalt Pavements.'' 5. Compact joints as soon as hot-mix asphalt will bear roller weight without excessive displacement. 6. Compact asphalt at joints to a density within 2 percent of specified course density. 3.5 COMPACTION ---PAGE BREAK--- Mountair Streetscape Millcreek, Utah Section 32 12 16 - 4 Asphalt Paving A. General: Begin compaction as soon as placed hot-mix paving will bear roller weight without excessive displacement. Compact hot-mix paving with hot, hand tampers or vibratory-plate compactors in areas inaccessible to rollers. 1. Complete compaction before mix temperature cools to 18.5 deg F (85 deg B. Breakdown Rolling: Complete breakdown or initial rolling immediately after rolling joints and outside edge. Examine surface immediately after breakdown rolling for indicated crown, grade, and smoothness. Correct lay down and rolling operations to comply with requirements. C. Intermediate Rolling: Begin intermediate rolling immediately after breakdown rolling while hot-mix asphalt is still hot enough to achieve specified density. Continue rolling until hot- mix asphalt course has been uniformly compacted to the following density: 1. Average Density: 96 percent of reference laboratory density according to AASHTO T 245, but not less than 94 percent nor greater than 100 percent. D. Finish Rolling: Finish roll paved surfaces to remove roller marks while hot-mix asphalt is still warm. E. Edge Shaping: While surface is being compacted and finished, trim edges of pavement to proper alignment. Bevel edges while asphalt is still hot; compact thoroughly. F. Repairs: Remove paved areas that are defective or contaminated with foreign materials and replace with fresh, hot-mix asphalt. Compact by rolling to specified density and surface smoothness. G. Protection: After final rolling, do not permit vehicular traffic on pavement until it has cooled and hardened. H. Erect barricades to protect paving from traffic until mixture has cooled enough not to become marked. 3.6 INSTALLATION TOLERANCES A. Thickness: Compact each course to produce the thickness indicated within the following tolerances: 1. Base Course: Plus or minus ½ inch (13 mm). 2. Surface Course: Plus ¼ inch (6 mm), no minus. B. Surface Smoothness: Compact each course to produce a surface smoothness within the following tolerances as determined by using a 10-foot (3-m) straightedge applied transversely or longitudinally to paved areas: 1. Base Course: ¼ inch (6 mm). 2. Surface Course: 1/8 inch (3 mm). 3. Crowned Surfaces: Test with crowned template centered and at right angle to crown.
