GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
1. Examination of Bidding Documents, Contract, and Work Site
A. Bidding Documents and the Contract. Each prospective Bidder
shall, before submitting its Bidder’s Proposal, carefully examine the Bidding Documents
and the Contract as defined in the Invitation for Bidder’s Proposals and included in this
Bid Package. The Contract contains provisions applicable not only to the successful
Bidder but also to all of its Subcontractors and Suppliers. In making copies of the Bidding
Documents and the Contract available to prospective Bidders, Owner and Engineer do
so only for the purpose of obtaining Bidder’s Proposals and such provision does not
confer a license or grant for any other use.
B. Work and Work Site Conditions. Each prospective Bidder shall,
before submitting its Bidder’s Proposal, personally inform itself, by on-site inspection and
investigation and by such other appropriate and lawful means as it may wish, of all
conditions under which the Work is to be performed; of the obstacles, unusual conditions
or difficulties that may be encountered, whether or not referred to in the Bidding
Documents or the Contract; and of all other relevant matters concerning the Work Site
and the surrounding area, including subsurface, underground and other concealed
conditions. In examining the Work Site and the surrounding area, special attention shall
be given to the cost and feasibility of the Work to be performed thereon, including the
arrangement and conditions of existing or proposed structures that will affect, or that will
be affected by, the Work; the procedures necessary for maintenance of uninterrupted
operations; the need to interrupt operations for any reason; and the availability and cost
of the means and methods of accomplishing the Work. Any prospective Bidder desiring
to make borings, explorations or observations to determine conditions at or around the
Work Site shall obtain permission from Owner or from any other property owner, as
appropriate, prior to commencement of any such activity.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Subsection 1B, it shall remain the
successful Bidder’s responsibility to (i) determine during construction the presence and
location of any underground obstructions and to make adjustments in the alignment or
grade of the Work to pass around, over, or under them, and (ii) determine during
construction the presence and location of any adverse soil conditions and to take all
necessary action to eliminate, address, or otherwise deal with such adverse soil
conditions, all without any equitable adjustment in the Contract Time or, except as
expressly provided, and only to the limited extent set forth, in Sections 2.1 through 2.3 of
the General Conditions of Contract included in this Bid Package, the Contract Price.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-2-
C. Quantities. Each prospective Bidder shall, before submitting its
Bidder’s Proposal, satisfy itself, by personal inspection and investigation of the Work Site
or by such other appropriate and lawful means as it may wish, as to the correctness of
any quantities listed in the Bidding Documents.
D. Equipment, Materials, and Supplies. Each Bidder shall base its
Bidder’s Proposal on new, undamaged, first-quality equipment, materials, and supplies
complying fully with the Contract, and in the event any Bidder names or includes in its
Bidder’s Proposal equipment, materials, or supplies that do not conform, such Bidder
shall, if awarded the Contract, be responsible for furnishing equipment, materials, and
supplies that fully conform to the Contract at no increase in the Bidder’s Price Proposal.
E. Information Provided by Owner. When information pertaining to
subsurface, underground or other concealed conditions or obstructions, soils analysis,
borings, test pits, buried structures, utility locations or conditions, conditions of existing
structures, and similar site information or data and other investigations is shown or
indicated on the Contract Drawings included in this Bid Package, is distributed with the
Bidding Documents or the Contract, or is otherwise made available to any prospective
Bidder by Owner, such information is shown, indicated, distributed, or made available
solely for the convenience of such prospective Bidder and is not part of the Bidding
Documents or the Contract. Owner assumes no responsibility whatsoever in respect to
the sufficiency or accuracy of any such information, and there is no guaranty or warranty,
either expressed or implied, that the conditions indicated are representative of those
existing throughout the Work or the Work Site, or that the conditions indicated are
representative of those existing at any particular location, or that unanticipated conditions
may not be present.
F. Representation and Warranty of Bidder. Each Bidder submitting a
Bidder’s Proposal expressly thereby represents and warrants that it has had an adequate
period of time to conduct, and has conducted, the independent examinations, inspections
and investigations required by these General Instructions to Bidders. Each Bidder
submitting a Bidder’s Proposal expressly thereby further represents and warrants that
Bidder’s Price Proposal includes such allowances for contingencies, as Bidder deems
appropriate with respect to such risks and changes in the Work as the successful Bidder
is responsible for dealing with under the Contract without any equitable adjustment in the
Contract Price or Contract Time.
G. Remedies for Failure to Comply. The successful Bidder will be
responsible for all errors in its Bidder’s Proposal resulting from such Bidder’s failure or
neglect to comply with these General Instructions to Bidders. The successful Bidder shall
bear all damages and costs associated therewith, arising therefrom, or resulting from
matters or conditions first discovered during the progress of the Work, including, but not
limited to, damages or costs resulting from, arising out of, or in any way related to
increases in time-related costs; increases in costs of labor, equipment, materials, or
supplies; costs of additional personnel; costs of additional equipment; costs of additional
premium time for personnel or equipment; increase in costs for Bond or insurance
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-3-
premiums; lower labor productivity; lost profits or alternative income; effects on other
contracts; and costs of demobilization and remobilization.
2. Interpretation of the Bidding Documents and the Contract
A. Defined Terms. All terms capitalized in these General Instructions
to Bidders and in the other Bidding Documents are defined in the Bidding Documents and
the Contract and shall have such defined meanings wherever used.
B. Implied Terms. If any workmanship, equipment, materials, or
supplies that are not directly or indirectly set forth in the Contract are nevertheless
necessary to the proper provision, performance, and completion of the whole of the Work
in accordance with the intent of the Contract, each prospective Bidder shall understand
such workmanship, equipment, materials, or supplies to be implied and shall provide for
such workmanship, equipment, materials, or supplies in its Bidder’s Proposal as fully as
if it were particularly described.
C. Addenda. No interpretation of the Bidding Documents or the
Contract will be made except by written addendum duly issued by Engineer
(“Addendum”). No interpretation not contained in an Addendum shall be valid or have
any force or effect whatever.
All Addenda issued prior to the opening of Bidder’s Proposals shall become
a part of the Bidding Documents or the Contract, as the case may be. Each prospective
Bidder shall be responsible for inquiring from time to time as to the availability of Addenda.
If any prospective Bidder is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of
the Bidding Documents or the Contract, such prospective Bidder shall submit to Engineer
a written request for an interpretation thereof as far in advance of the scheduled opening
of Bidder’s Proposals as possible.
Engineer shall use its best efforts to issue Addenda in response to all valid,
appropriate, and timely inquiries, but accepts no responsibility for doing so. Inquiries not
answered by Addenda shall be considered invalid, inappropriate, or untimely inquiries.
D. Informal Responses. Neither Owner nor Engineer will give oral
answers or instructions in response to any inquiries received prior to the award of the
Contract regarding the meaning of the Bidding Documents or the Contract nor any oral
indication as to the validity of any such inquiry. Any such oral answer, instruction or
indication shall not be binding, shall be deemed to be unauthorized and given informally
for the convenience of the Person making the inquiry, shall not be guaranteed, and shall
not be relied upon by any prospective Bidder. By submitting a Bidder’s Proposal, each
Bidder shall be deemed to have agreed that such information has not been used as a
basis of its Bidder’s Proposal and that the giving of any such information does not entitle
such Bidder to assert any claim or demand against Owner or Engineer on account thereof.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-4-
3. Calculation of Unit Price Proposals and Compensation
On all items for which Bidder’s Proposals are to be received on a unit price
basis, Bidder’s Proposals will be compared on the basis of the approximate number of
units stated in the Bidding Documents multiplied by each Bidder’s respective Price
Proposal for each Unit Price Item.
Payment on the Contract for each Unit Price Item will be based on the actual
number of acceptable units of such Unit Price Item installed complete in place, measured
on the basis defined in the Contract.
The approximate quantities stated in the Bidding Documents shall not be
used in establishing the compensation due under the Contract. Such stated quantities
are Engineer’s estimate only for Owner’s convenience in comparing Bidder’s Proposals
and shall not be relied upon by prospective Bidders. Any increases in the number of units
of Unit Price Items required to complete the Work resulting from risks or changes in the
Work that the successful Bidder is responsible for dealing with under the Contract without
any equitable adjustment in the Contract Price shall be paid for at the respective Price
Proposal for each such Unit Price Item.
No Bidder shall, after submission of its Bidder’s Proposal, dispute or
complain of any estimate of Unit Price Items contained in the Bidding Documents nor
assert that there was any misunderstanding in regard to the nature or amount of Work to
be done.
4. Prevailing Wages
All wages paid by the Contractor and each subcontractor shall be in
compliance with The Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILCS 130), as amended, except where a
prevailing wage violates a federal law, order, or ruling, the rate conforming to the federal
law, order, or ruling shall govern. If the Department of Labor revises the wage rates, the
revised rate, as made available on the Department's official website, shall apply to this
contract and the Contractor will not be allowed additional compensation because of said
revisions. The Contractor shall be responsible to notify each subcontractor of the wage
rates set forth in this contract and any revisions thereto.
Contractor will comply with the Illinois prevailing wage law, as amended from time to time
and made available on the Department of Labor’s official website. Not less than the
prevailing rate of wages as found by the Illinois Department of Labor shall be paid to all
laborers, workers and mechanics performing work under the Contract. If the Department
of Labor revises the prevailing rate of wages to be paid laborers, workers or mechanics
under the Contract, the revised prevailing rate of wages shall apply to the Contract and
Contractor shall have the sole responsibility and duty to pay, and ensure that all
Subcontractors pay, the revised prevailing rate of wages to each person to whom a
revised rate is applicable. Revision of the prevailing wages shall not result in an increase
in the Contract sum or other cost to Village of Oak Brook. Contractor shall indemnify,
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-5-
defend and hold Village of Oak Brook harmless from any loss, including but not limited
to Village of Oak Brook's attorney’s fees, resulting from Contractor's failure to comply
with this prevailing wage clause. All bonds applicable to the Contract shall include a
provision as will guarantee the faithful performance of the obligation to pay the prevailing
rate of wages.
The Contractor and each subcontractor shall make and keep, for a period
of not less than 3 years, records of all laborers, mechanics, and other workers employed
by them on the project; the records shall include each worker's name, address, telephone
number when available, last four digits of their social security number, gender, race,
ethnicity, veteran status, classification or classifications, the hourly wages paid in each
period, the number of hours worked each day, the starting and ending times of work each
day, the worker’s hourly rate, the worker’s hourly overtime wage rate, the worker’s hourly
fringe benefit rates, the name and address of each fringe benefit fund, the plan sponsor
of each fringe benefit, if applicable, and the plan administrator of each fringe benefit.
The Contractor and each subcontractor shall submit monthly, in person, by mail, or
electronically a certified payroll to the Department of Labor, through the database
created by Section 5.1 of 820 ILCS 130. The certified payroll shall consist of a complete
copy of the records. The certified payroll shall be accompanied by a statement signed
by the contractor or subcontractor which states that: (i) such records are true and
accurate; (ii) the hourly rate paid to each worker is not less than the general prevailing
rate of hourly wages required; and (iii) the contractor or subcontractor is aware that filing
a certified payroll that he or she knows to be false is a Class B misdemeanor.
Upon seven (7) business days' notice, the contractor and each
subcontractor shall make available for inspection and copying at a location within this
State during reasonable hours, the records to the public body in charge of the project,
its officers and agents, and to the Director of Labor and his deputies and agents. The
Contractor and each subcontractor shall permit his/her employees to be interviewed on
the job, during working hours, by compliance investigators of the Department or the
Department of Labor.
5. Taxes and Benefits
Owner is exempt from state and local sales, use and excise taxes. Bidder’s
Price Proposal shall not include any such taxes. A letter of exemption will be provided to
the successful Bidder, if necessary. Owner will not reimburse, nor assist the successful
Bidder in obtaining reimbursement for, any state or local sales, use or excise taxes paid
by the successful Bidder. The successful Bidder shall be required to reimburse Owner
for any such taxes paid.
Bidder’s Price Proposal shall include all other applicable federal, state, and
local taxes of every kind and nature applicable to the Work as well as all taxes,
contributions, and premiums for unemployment insurance, old age or retirement benefits,
pensions, annuities, or other similar benefits. It shall be the sole responsibility of each
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-6-
prospective Bidder to determine the applicability and amount of such taxes, contributions,
and premiums and no extra compensation shall be paid by Owner for the successful
Bidder’s failure to include these costs in its Bidder’s Proposal.
6. Permits and Licenses
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Special Conditions of
Contract included in this Bid Package, Bidder’s Price Proposal shall include the cost of
obtaining all permits, licenses, and other approvals and authorizations required by law for
performance of the Work. It shall be the sole responsibility of each prospective Bidder to
determine the applicable permits, licenses, and other approvals and authorizations and
no extra compensation shall be paid by Owner for the successful Bidder’s failure to
include these costs in its Bidder’s Proposal. The successful Bidder shall be required to
display all permits, licenses and other approvals and authorizations as required by law.
7. Preparation of Bidder’s Proposal
Bidder’s Proposals to enter into the Contract for the Work shall be made
only on the blank Bidder’s Proposal form furnished by Owner and included in this Bid
Package. Entries on the Bidder’s Proposal form shall be typed or legibly written in ink.
Price Proposals are to be written by words and by figures as provided on
the Bidder’s Proposal form. In case of any conflict, words shall prevail. In case of any
error in adding or multiplying individual items, the prices listed for individual items shall
control over any incorrect total of such items. A Bidder’s Proposal may be rejected if it
does not contain a requested price for each and every item named in the Bidder’s
Proposal form or may be interpreted as bidding “no charge” to Owner for any item left
blank, except as may be otherwise provided in the Special Instructions to Bidders
included in this Bid Package.
Prospective Bidders are warned against making alterations of any kind to
the Bidder’s Proposal form or to any entry thereon. Bidder’s Proposals that contain
omissions, conditions, alterations, or additions not called for by the Bidding Documents
may be rejected or interpreted so as to be most favorable to Owner.
Bidder’s Proposals that are not submitted on the Bidder’s Proposal form
furnished by Owner or that are separated from this bound Bid Package may be rejected.
Each Bidder shall securely staple into its Bidder’s Proposal a copy of each
Addendum issued for the Bidding Documents and the Contract and shall include in the
place provided therefor in the Bidder’s Proposal form a listing of all such Addenda.
Bidder’s Proposals that fail to comply with this Instruction may be rejected.
Each Bidder shall complete, sign as required pursuant to Section 8 of these
General Instructions to Bidders, and submit with its Bidder’s Proposal all of the following

Every Bidder submitting a Bidder’s Proposal shall be conclusively deemed
to have evidenced an intention to be bound thereby whether or not the requirements for
signing Bidder’s Proposals found in Section 8 of these General Instructions to Bidders
are satisfied. However, any Bidder’s Proposal that fails to comply with Section 8 of these
General Instructions to Bidders may nevertheless be rejected.
If a deficiently prepared Bidder’s Proposal is not rejected, Owner may
demand correction of any deficiency and award the Contract to Bidder upon satisfactory
compliance with this Instruction.

the signing of each Bidder’s Proposal:

corporation shall be signed by the President or other
authorized officer of the corporation and shall also bear the
attesting signature of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of
the corporation.
(2) Partnerships. Each Bidder’s Proposal submitted by a
partnership shall be signed by all of its general partners or by
an attorney-in-fact. If signed by an attorney-in-fact, there shall
be attached to the Bidder’s Proposal a power of attorney
executed by all of the general partners of such partnership
evidencing authority of such attorney-in-fact to sign the
Bidder’s Proposal.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-8-
(3) Individuals. Each Bidder’s Proposal submitted by an
individual shall be signed by such individual or by an attorney-
in-fact. If signed by an attorney-in-fact, there shall be attached
to the Bidder’s Proposal a power of attorney executed by such
individual evidencing the authority of such attorney-in-fact to
sign the proposal.
(4) Joint Ventures. Each Bidder’s Proposal submitted by a joint
venture shall be signed by each signatory of the joint venture
agreement by which such joint venture was formed in
accordance with the applicable provisions of (1), (2) and (3)
above or by an attorney-in-fact. If signed by an attorney-in-
fact, there shall be attached to the Bidder’s Proposal a power
of attorney executed by each signatory to the joint venture
agreement evidencing the authority of such attorney-in-fact to
sign the proposal.
Any Bidder’s Proposal that fails to comply with this Instruction may be
rejected, or, if not rejected, Owner may demand correction thereof and award the Contract
to Bidder upon satisfactory compliance with this Instruction.
B. Other Documents. The signature requirements set forth in
Subsection 8A shall apply to all other documents in the Bid Package required to be
executed by Bidder, Bidder’s sureties and Bidder’s insurance representatives as well as
to the Contract Agreement, the Contractor’s Certification and all other required
documentation related to the Contract.
Any Bidder’s Proposal that fails to comply with this Instruction may be
rejected, or, if not rejected, Owner may demand correction thereof and award the Contract
to Bidder upon satisfactory compliance with this Instruction.
9. Bid Security
A. Required Bid Security. Every Bidder’s Proposal shall be
accompanied by a 10% bid security in the form of a Cashier’s Check, Certified Check or

Security shall stand as a guaranty that (1) if Bidder is determined to be one of the Most
Favorable Bidders (see Section 14B below), Bidder will submit all additional information
requested by Owner; (2) if such Bidder’s Proposal is accepted, Bidder will timely file the
Bonds and the certificates and policies of insurance required by the Contract; and (3) if
such Bidder’s Proposal is accepted, Bidder will timely execute the Contract Agreement,
the Contractor’s Certification, and all other required documentation related to the
Contract.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-9-
Any Bidder’s Proposal that fails to comply with this Instruction may be
rejected, or, if not rejected, Owner may demand correction of any deficiency and award
the Contract to Bidder upon satisfactory compliance with this Instruction.
B. Return of Bid Security. Bid Security submitted in the form of
Cashier’s Checks or Certified Checks will be returned to all except the Most Favorable
Bidders within five Days after the opening of Bidder’s Proposals, and to the Most
Favorable Bidders within five Days after execution of the Contract Agreement by Owner.
Bid Bonds will not be returned unless otherwise requested by Bidder.
C. Liquidated Damages. If a Most Favorable Bidder fails to timely
submit all additional information requested by Owner, or if the successful Bidder fails to
timely and properly submit all required Bonds, certificates and policies of insurance, or if
the successful Bidder fails to timely and properly execute the Contract Agreement, the
Contractor’s Certification and all other required documentation related to the Contract, it
will be difficult and impracticable to ascertain and determine the amount of damage that
Owner will sustain by reason of any such failure. For such reason, every Bidder shall, by
submitting its Bidder’s Proposal, be deemed to agree that Owner shall have the right, at
its option in the event of any such default, to retain or recover as reasonably estimated
liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the entire amount of the Bid Security or ten
percent of the Bidder’s Price Proposal, whichever is greater, or to exercise any and all
equitable remedies it may have against the defaulting Bidder.
10. Surety and Insurance Commitments
Every Bidder’s Proposal shall be accompanied by:
(1) A letter from a surety company, licensed to do business in the
State of Illinois with a general rating of A minus and a financial
size category of Class X or better in Best’s Insurance Guide,
stating that it will execute Bonds in the form included in the
Contract Documents upon award of the Contract to Bidder.
(2) A letter from Bidder’s insurance carrier or its agent certifying
that said insurer has read the insurance requirements set forth

policies of insurance upon award of the Contract to Bidder.
Any Bidder’s Proposal that fails to comply with this Instruction may be
rejected, or, if not rejected, Owner may demand correction of any deficiency and award
the Contract to Bidder upon satisfactory compliance with this Instruction.
11. Submission of Bidder’s Proposal
One copy of each Bidder’s Proposal, properly signed, together with the
required Bid Security (see Section 9), the required surety and insurance commitment
letters (see Section 10) and all other required documents, shall be enclosed in a sealed
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-10-
envelope or package and shall be addressed and delivered to the place, before the time,
and in the manner designated in the Invitation for Bidder’s Proposals. Each sealed
envelope or package containing a Bidder’s Proposal shall be identified as such and shall
be marked with the title of the Contract and Bidder’s full legal name. All documents
designated in the Bidding Documents or the Contract, including any Addenda, will be
considered part of each Bidder’s Proposal whether attached or not. The Bidder’s
Proposal form shall not be removed from this bound Bid Package.
12. Withdrawal of Bidder’s Proposal
Any Bidder’s Proposal may be withdrawn at any time prior to the opening of
any Bidder’s Proposal, provided that a request in writing, executed by Bidder in the
manner specified in Section 8 of these General Instructions to Bidders, for the withdrawal
of such Bidder’s Proposal is filed with Owner prior to the opening of any Bidder’s Proposal.
The withdrawal of a Bidder’s Proposal prior to opening of any Bidder’s Proposal will not
prejudice the right of Bidder to file a new Bidder’s Proposal.
No Bidder’s Proposal shall be withdrawn without the consent of Owner for
a period of 60 Days after the opening of any Bidder’s Proposal. Any Bidder’s Proposal
may be withdrawn at any time following the expiration of said 90 Day period, provided
that a request in writing, executed by Bidder in the manner specified in Section 8 of these
General Instructions to Bidders, for the withdrawal of such Bidder’s Proposal is filed with
Owner after said 90 Day period. If no such request is filed, the date for acceptance of
such Bidder’s Proposal shall be deemed to be extended until such a request is filed or
until Owner executes a Contract pursuant to the Invitation for Bidder’s Proposals or until
Owner affirmatively and in writing rejects such Bidder’s Proposal.
13. Public Opening of Bidder’s Proposals
Bidder’s Proposals will be opened and the Price Proposals will be read
aloud publicly at the time and place indicated in the Invitation for Bidder’s Proposals or
as soon thereafter as possible. Bidders or their agents are invited to be present. All
Bidder’s Proposals received after the specified time of opening will be returned unopened.
14. Qualification of Bidders
A. Factors. Owner intends to award the Contract only to a Bidder that
furnishes satisfactory evidence that it has the requisite experience, ability, capital,
facilities, plant, organization and staffing to enable it to perform the Work successfully and
promptly and to complete the Work for the Contract Price and within the Contract Time.
B. Most Favorable Bidders. A preliminary determination as to eligibility
of up to three Bidders (herein referred to as “Most Favorable Bidders”) who shall be
eligible for further consideration shall be made on the basis of the amount of the Bidder’s
Price Proposals, Owner’s prior experience with the Bidders, Owner’s knowledge of the
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-11-
Bidders’ performance on other relevant projects, and all other relevant facts or matters
mentioned in the Bidding Documents or the Contract or that Owner may legally consider
in making its determination. The making of such a preliminary determination shall not
waive Owner’s right to reject any and all Bidder’s Proposals nor waive such other rights
as are set forth in Section 16 of these General Instructions to Bidders.
C. Final Determination. The final selection of the successful Bidder
from among the Most Favorable Bidders shall be made on the basis of the above-
mentioned factors and any additional information that may be requested of all or any one
or more of the Most Favorable Bidders. Such additional information may include, but is
not limited to, a listing of available personnel, plant and equipment; a description of current
work loads and any pending bids or proposals; financial and litigation statements; and
any other pertinent information. If such additional information is required, Owner shall
issue a Request for Additional Information to one or more of the Most Favorable Bidders.
In the event Owner issues a Request for Additional Information, the responding Bidder
shall provide such information within two business days after receipt of said Request for
Additional Information or such other period as may be set forth therein. Failure to so
answer shall, at Owner’s option, be grounds for the imposition of liquidated damages, as
more specifically set forth in Section 9 above.
15. Disqualification of Bidders
A. More Than One Bidder’s Proposal. No more than one Bidder’s
Proposal for the Work described in the Contract shall be considered from any single
corporation, partnership, individual or joint venture, whether under the same or different
names and whether or not in conjunction with any other corporation, partnership,
individual or joint venture. Reasonable grounds for believing that any corporation,
partnership, individual or joint venture is interested, as a principal, in more than one
Bidder’s Proposal for the Work may cause the rejection of all Bidder’s Proposals in which
such corporation, partnership, individual or joint venture is interested. Nothing contained
in this Subsection 15A shall prohibit any single corporation, partnership, individual or joint
venture, whether under the same or different names and whether or not in conjunction
with any other corporation, partnership, individual or joint venture, from submitting a bid
or quoting prices to more than one Bidder for equipment, materials and supplies or labor
to be furnished as a Subcontractor or Supplier.
B. Collusion. If there are reasonable grounds for believing that collusion
exists among any Bidders, all Bidder’s Proposals of the participants in such collusion will
not be considered.
C. Default. If a Bidder is or has been in default on a contract with Owner
or in the payment of monies due Owner, its Bidder’s Proposal will not be considered.
D. Deficiencies. Owner expressly reserves the right in its sole and
absolute discretion to disqualify any Bidder that:
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-12-
(1) submits a Bidder’s Proposal that does not contain a lump sum
or unit price for each pay item requested;
(2) submits a Bidder’s Proposal on a form other than the Bidder’s
Proposal form included in the Bidding Documents or alters
such form or detaches any part of such form from this bound
Bid Package;
(3) submits a Bidder’s Proposal that contains omissions,
alterations, unauthorized additions, conditional or alternate
bids, or irregularities of any kind that may tend to make the
Bidder’s Proposal incomplete, indefinite or ambiguous as to
its meaning, including, but not limited to, conditional surety
and insurance commitment letters;
(4) submits an unsigned or improperly signed Bidder’s Proposal;
(5) submits a Bidder’s Proposal containing any provision
reserving the right to accept or reject an award or to enter into
a Contract pursuant to award; or
(6) submits a Bidder’s Proposal that is not prepared in ink.
If the deficient Bidder is not disqualified, Owner may demand correction of
any deficiency and award the Contract to Bidder upon satisfactory compliance with these
General Instructions to Bidders and any Special Instructions to Bidders included in this
Bid Package.
16. Award of Contract
A. Reservation of Rights. Owner reserves the right to accept the
Bidder’s Proposal that is, in its judgment, the best and most favorable to the interests of
Owner and the public; to reject the low Price Proposal; to accept any item of any Bidder’s
Proposal; to reject any and all Bidder’s Proposals; to accept and incorporate corrections,
clarifications or modifications following the opening of the Bidder’s Proposals when to do
so would not, in Owner’s opinion, prejudice the bidding process or create any improper
advantage to any Bidder; and to waive irregularities and informalities in the bidding
process or in any Bidder’s Proposal submitted; provided, however, that the waiver of any
prior defect or informality shall not be considered a waiver of any future or similar defects
or informalities, and Bidders should not rely upon, or anticipate, such waivers in
submitting their Bidder’s Proposals.
B. Firm Offers. All Bidder’s Proposals are firm offers to enter into the
Contract and no Bidder’s Proposals shall be deemed rejected, notwithstanding
acceptance of any other Bidder’s Proposal, until the Contract has been executed by both
Owner and the successful Bidder or until Owner affirmatively and in writing expressly
rejects such Bidder’s Proposal.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-13-
C. Time of Award. It is expected that the award of the Contract, if it is
awarded, will be made within 90 Days following the opening of the Bidder’s Proposals.
Should administrative difficulties be encountered after the opening of the Bidder’s
Proposals, including the annulment of any award, that may delay an award or subsequent
award beyond such 90 Day period, Owner may accept any Bidder’s Proposal for which
the date for acceptance has been extended as provided in Section 12 of these General
Instructions to Bidders in order to avoid the need for re-advertisement. No Bidder shall
be under any obligation to extend the date for acceptance of its Bidder’s Proposal. Failure
of one or more of the Bidders or their sureties to extend the date for acceptance of its
Bidder’s Proposal shall not prejudice the right of Owner to accept any Bidder’s Proposal
for which the date for acceptance has been extended.
17. Notice of Award; Effective Date of Award
If the Contract is awarded by Owner, such award shall be effective when a
Notice of Award, in the form included in this Bid Package, or similar, has been delivered
to the successful Bidder (“Effective Date of Award”). Engineer will prepare two (2)copies
of the Contract based upon Bidder’s Proposal and will submit them to the successful
Bidder with the Notice of Award. Successful Bidder will have fourteen (14) days to return
fully executed contract, certificate of insurance, and required bonds to the Owner.
18. Failure to Sign Contract
A. Annulment of Award; Liquidated Damages. The failure or refusal of
a successful Bidder to comply or to otherwise fail or refuse to Sign the contract shall be
just cause for the annulment of the award and the imposition of liquidated damages or
the exercise of equitable remedies, both as more specifically set forth in Section 9 above.
B. Subsequent Awards. Upon annulment of an award, Owner may
accept, and award a Contract based on, any other Bidder’s Proposal as Owner, in its sole
judgment, deems to be the best or may invite new Proposals or may abandon the bidding
process or the Work.
19. Time of Starting and Completion
Work shall commence, shall be continuously and diligently prosecuted, and
shall be completed within the Contract Time stated in the Contract.
BIDDERS ARE DIRECTED TO THE GENERAL AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF
CONTRACT INCLUDED IN THIS BID PACKAGE FOR PROVISIONS CONCERNING
COORDINATION OF THE WORK WITH OTHER WORK BEING UNDERTAKEN BY OR
FOR OWNER. NO CLAIMS FOR DELAY OR INTERFERENCE BASED ON ANY SUCH
OTHER WORK WILL BE ALLOWED.
BIDDERS ARE DIRECTED TO THE GENERAL AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF
CONTRACT INCLUDED IN THIS BID PACKAGE FOR PROVISIONS, IF ANY,
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-14-
RELATED TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR DELAYS IN COMPLETION OF THE
WORK OR ANY PORTION THEREOF.
20. Confidentiality
Each Bidder shall identify any information submitted in the bidding process
that is considered by it to be confidential or proprietary. Owner shall not disclose, outside
the bidding process, at any time, either during or subsequent to the bidding process, any
such designated confidential or proprietary information, unless such disclosure will not
cause competitive harm, or such information was actually known to Owner prior to its
submission by Bidder, or such information was properly obtained or developed
independently by Owner, or Bidder consents to such disclosure. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each Bidder, by its submission of its Bidder’s Proposal, acknowledges that
Owner is subject to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140/1 et seq., and that
no disclosure made in good faith by Owner pursuant to such Act shall be deemed to
violate this Section.

A. Insurance Required. Contemporaneous with Contractor’s execution
of this Contract Agreement, Contractor shall provide certificates and policies of insurance
evidencing the insurance coverages set forth in Article IV of the General Conditions of

Additional Insureds have other insurance which is applicable to the loss, such other
insurance shall be on an excess or contingent basis. The amount of the insurance

reduced by the existence of such other insurance.

ARTICLE VI
LEGAL RELATIONSHIPS AND REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Binding Effect
This Contract shall be binding upon Owner and Contractor and upon their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and permitted
successors and assigns.
Contractor agrees that if Contractor is a joint venture, then each Person
participating in such joint venture shall be individually, personally, severally, and jointly
responsible and liable, financially, legally, and in all other respects, for the full and proper
performance of each and every provision and requirement of this Contract,
notwithstanding any arrangement, understanding, or agreement to the contrary, if any,
whether disclosed to Owner or not, entered into by, between or among the Persons
participating in such joint venture.
6.2 Relationship of the Parties
Contractor, and its Subcontractors and Suppliers, shall act as independent
contractors in providing, performing, and completing the Work. No right of supervision,
requirement of approval, or other provision of this Contract and no subsequent conduct
of Owner or Contractor shall be construed (1) to create the relationship of principal and
agent, partners, or joint venturers between Owner and Contractor, or (2) except as
provided in Paragraph 6.6B6 of the General Conditions of Contract, to create any
relationship between Owner and any Subcontractor or Supplier of Contractor. The rights
of Owner under this Contract, either directly or through Engineer, in the control of the
quality and completeness of the Work shall not make Contractor, or any Subcontractor or
Supplier of Contractor, an agent of Owner, and the liability of Contractor, and of all
Subcontractors and Suppliers of Contractor, for all damages to persons or to public or
private property arising from the provision, performance, or completion of the Work by
Contractor, or any Subcontractor or Supplier of Contractor, shall not be lessened because
of the existence, exercise, or the non-exercise of such rights.
6.3 Assignment
A. Assignment by Contractor. Contractor shall not (1) assign this
Contract in whole or in part, (2) assign any of Contractor’s rights or obligations under this
Contract, or (3) assign any payment due or to become due under this Contract, without
the prior express written consent of Owner, which consent may be withheld in the sole
and unfettered discretion of Owner; provided, however, that Owner’s prior written consent
shall not be required for assignments of accounts, as defined in
the Commercial Code, if to do so would violate Section 9-318 of
the Commercial Code, 810 ILCS 5/9-318. Any attempted or purported
assignment made by Contractor without the written consent of Owner shall be void and
of no force or effect and shall constitute a default under this Contract for which Owner
shall have the right to invoke any of its remedies under Section 6.6 of the General
CONTRACT AGREEMENT
-12-
Conditions of Contract. In no event shall Owner’s consent to any assignment of this
Contract or of any of Contractor’s rights under this Contract, whether in whole or in part,
operate as a release or satisfaction of Contractor’s responsibility and liability for the
provision, performance, and completion of the Work in full compliance with the
requirements of this Contract on or before the Completion Date, or for the proper
performance of all other obligations of Contractor under this Contract, or for Contractor’s
liability on all representations and warranties made in or pursuant to this Contract.
Contractor shall remain as fully responsible and liable for the acts, omissions, and
performance of Contractor’s assignee as Contractor is for its own acts, omissions, and
performance.
B. Assignment by Owner. Owner may assign this Contract, in whole or
in part, or any or all of its rights or obligations under this Contract, without the consent of
Contractor. In the event of an assignment by Owner of any or all of its rights or obligations
under this Contract, Owner shall be released from all liability with respect to the rights or
obligations so assigned.
6.4 Confidential Information
All information supplied by Owner or Engineer to Contractor for or in
connection with this Contract or the Work shall be held confidential by Contractor and
shall not, without the prior express written consent of Owner, be used for any purpose
other than performance of the Work. Neither Contractor nor any Subcontractor or
Supplier shall own or be entitled to claim a copyright in the Contract or other documents
prepared by Owner or Engineer.
Contractor shall identify any information supplied by it in providing,
performing and completing the Work that is considered by it to be confidential or
proprietary. Owner and Engineer shall not disclose any such designated confidential or
proprietary information, unless such disclosure will not cause competitive harm, or such
information was actually known to Owner or Engineer prior to its submission by
Contractor, or such information was properly obtained or developed independently by
Owner or Engineer, or Contractor consents to such disclosure. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Contractor acknowledges that Owner is subject to the Illinois Freedom of
Information Act, 5 ILCS 140/1 et seq., and that no disclosure made in good faith by Owner
pursuant to such Act shall be deemed to violate this Section.
6.5 Publicity
Owner’s name or insignia, photographs of the Work or the Work Site, or any
other publicity pertaining to the Work shall not be used in any magazine, trade paper,
newspaper, or other medium without the express written consent of Owner.
By entering the Work Site, Contractor personnel, including Subcontractor
and Supplier personnel, irrevocably authorize and grant to Owner, and to its successors,
agents, representatives, and assigns, the irrevocable and unrestricted right, permission,
CONTRACT AGREEMENT
-13-
and authority to:

compensation, or any other consideration,
including royalties, and without liability; and
2. Use, edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish,
broadcast, distribute, and otherwise reproduce,
modify, and display such likenesses and/or
voices, in whole or in part, for purposes of
publicizing Owner’s activities and for any other
lawful purpose in any manner, media, and
medium.
Contractor shall, upon request of Owner, execute, acknowledge, and
deliver such further instruments and take such action as may be necessary, desirable, or
proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Section 6.5.
6.6 No Waivers
No examination, inspection, investigation, test, measurement, review,
determination, decision, certificate or approval by Owner or Engineer, nor any order by
Owner for the payment of money, nor any payment for, or use, occupancy, possession,
or acceptance of, the whole or any part of the Work by Owner, nor any extension of time
granted by Owner, nor any delay by Owner in exercising any right under this Contract,
nor any other act or omission of Owner or Engineer shall constitute or be deemed to be
an acceptance of any defective, damaged, flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming or
incomplete Work, equipment, materials, or supplies, nor operate to waive or otherwise
diminish the effect of any warranty or representation made by Contractor; or of any
requirement or provision of this Contract; or of any remedy, power, or right of Owner.
No notices required to be given to Owner under this Contract are intended
to be waived by Owner, and no action or inaction by Owner or Engineer shall be construed
as waiving any such notice.

Contractor shall promptly, continuously, diligently, vigorously, and systematically provide
and perform the Work, and all component parts of the Work, within such time or times as
may be set forth in this Contract or in the Approved Schedule and to the ends that, and
at a rate, with due allowances and contingencies for difficulties or obstructions that may
arise out of, or be encountered as a result of, adverse weather conditions, equipment
breakdowns, subsurface, underground or other concealed conditions or obstructions,
buried structures, utility locations or conditions, adverse soil conditions, and changed site
conditions due to work by other contractors, that assures that, all Work, and all component
parts of the Work, will be completed and ready for inspection and testing when required
pursuant to this Contract and that all Work will be completed in full compliance with, and
as required by or pursuant to, this Contract within the Contract Time. Contractor shall
cooperate with Owner and Engineer to assure maximum coordination and efficiency in
the progress of the Work.
2. Approved Schedule. Unless otherwise provided in the
Special Conditions of Contract or the Specifications, Contractor shall submit to Engineer,
within 30 Days after the execution of this Contract, a detailed schedule of the Work
showing the time of beginning and completion for at least every major component of the
Work. Such schedule shall be presented in graphical form using the bar graph method
or a time-sequence method, but not a critical path method. Such schedule shall logically
and realistically relate the performance of each component of the Work to each other
component of the Work and to the whole of the Work so as to demonstrate that sufficient
time has been allowed for the completion of each component without interference or delay
from or to any other component and with due allowances and contingencies for difficulties
or obstructions that may arise out of, or be encountered as a result of, adverse weather
conditions, equipment breakdowns, subsurface, underground or other concealed
conditions or obstructions, buried structures, utility locations or conditions, adverse soil
conditions, and changed site conditions due to work by other contractors. The schedule
shall demonstrate Contractor’s ability to comply with the requirements of
Paragraph 1.1B1 above. Engineer shall return a copy of the schedule to Contractor with
such exceptions noted as Engineer may deem appropriate and Contractor shall submit a
revised schedule to Engineer within two business days. If acceptable, Engineer shall
return a copy of the schedule to Contractor with no exceptions noted or an equivalent
notation (“Approved Schedule”). Engineer may require the Approved Schedule to be
revised or updated as frequently as Engineer may deem necessary prior to Final
Acceptance of the Work.
3. No Liability. Review and stamping of any Approved Schedule
by Engineer shall not constitute approval or acceptance of the schedule or an extension
or waiver of the Contract Time and no review by Engineer, no noting of an exception by
Engineer, and no failure to note an exception by Engineer shall relieve Contractor of the
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-3-
entire responsibility for the performance of the Work in full compliance with the
requirements of this Contract within the Contract Time. Engineer’s review and stamping,
with or without exceptions noted, of any Approved Schedule shall not be regarded as an
any assumption of risk or liability by Owner or Engineer. Contractor shall have no claim
under this Contract on account of any error, omission, or defect in, or revealed by, any
Approved Schedule so reviewed and stamped or any failure, partial failure, or inefficiency
of any Approved Schedule so reviewed and stamped. Engineer’s stamping of any
Approved Schedule with no exception noted or an equivalent notation shall be considered
to mean merely that Engineer has no objection to Contractor proceeding, upon its own
full responsibility and liability, with the schedule or schedules proposed.
4. Acceleration. If, at any time, the Work, or any component part
of the Work, is behind the Approved Schedule, Contractor shall initiate immediate and
definite procedures for accelerating the Work as required to bring the Work, and all
component parts of the Work, into compliance with the Approved Schedule. Owner shall
not be subject to any claims, demands, or liability for Contractor’s acceleration damages
or costs incurred to keep the Work in compliance with the Approved Schedule, including,
but not limited to, damages or costs resulting from, arising out of, or in any way related to
increases in time- related costs; increases in costs of labor, equipment, materials, or
supplies; costs of additional personnel; costs of additional equipment; costs of additional
premium time for personnel or equipment; increase in costs for Bond or insurance
premiums; lower labor productivity; lost profits or alternative income; effects on other
contracts; and costs of demobilization and remobilization. Failure of Owner or Engineer
to inform Contractor that Contractor is behind the Approved Schedule or to direct and
enforce procedures to ensure compliance with the Approved Schedule shall not relieve
Contractor of the entire responsibility for the performance of the Work in full compliance
with the requirements of this Contract within the Contract Time.
5. Owner’s Right to Perform Work. Any failure of Contractor to
comply with this Subsection 1.1B shall entitle Owner to perform or have performed all
Work necessary for compliance with this Subsection and to withhold or recover from
Contractor the cost of such Work.
C. Completeness of Work. Except for such items as are expressly and
specifically required by this Contract to be furnished by Owner, Contractor shall provide
at the Work Site, and at no charge to Owner other than the Contract Price, all personnel,
equipment, materials, supplies, and other things required to provide, perform and
complete the Work described, shown, or reasonably implied, or inferred from prevailing
custom or trade usage as being required to produce the results intended, in this Contract.
If any personnel, equipment, materials, or supplies that are not directly or indirectly set
forth in this Contract are nevertheless necessary to the proper provision, performance,
and completion of the whole of the Work in accordance with the intent of this Contract,
Contractor shall understand such personnel, equipment, materials, or supplies to be
implied and shall provide such personnel, equipment, materials, or supplies as fully as if
it were particularly described. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor, at its sole cost
and expense, shall: (1) arrange for a supply of water, heat, light, power,
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-4-
telecommunications, and other services needed for the Work and for testing, including
the installation of temporary utility lines, wiring, switches, fixtures, hoses, connections,
and meters; (2) provide and maintain sanitary conveniences of sufficient number to
accommodate all workers and all personnel of Owner and Engineer engaged in or about
the Work; and (3) provide and maintain a clean, weather-tight office, temporary in
character, at a central location at the Work Site, with telephone facilities and service, for
use as a field office by Contractor, for storage of Contract Drawings and Specifications,
for storage of permits and Required Submittals reviewed with no exception noted, and for
shelter of workers.
D. Conformity of Work. Contractor shall, at no increase in the Contract
Price, provide workmanship, equipment, materials, and supplies that fully conform to this
Contract, notwithstanding the fact that Contractor may have based its Bidder’s Proposal
on workmanship, equipment, materials, or supplies that do not so conform. When the
equipment, materials, or supplies furnished by Contractor cannot be installed as specified
in the Contract Drawings or Specifications, Contractor shall, without any increase in the
Contract Price, make all modifications required to properly install the equipment,
materials, or supplies. Any such modification shall be subject to the prior review and
consent of Engineer.
1.2 Engineer’s Authority
Engineer has been employed as an independent contractor to represent
Owner during the term of this Contract and to observe the Work in progress on behalf of
Owner. To prevent delays and disputes and to discourage litigation, it is agreed by Owner
and Contractor that Engineer shall, in all cases, determine the amount, quality,
acceptability, and fitness of the several kinds of Work that are to be paid for under this
Contract; determine all disputes in relation to the true construction, meaning, and intent
of the Contract Drawings and Specifications; and determine all disputes in relation to the
execution of the Work, the classifications and measurements of quantities and materials,
the suitability of equipment, materials, and supplies, and the fulfillment of this Contract.
In interpreting this Contract, Engineer shall be subject to Section 1.3 of the Contract
Agreement.
Engineer shall have the power to reject or condemn all Work that is
defective, flawed, unsuitable, or nonconforming to the terms of this Contract.
Engineer’s determination in all matters shall be a condition precedent to an
appeal by Contractor to Owner, to the right of Contractor to receive, demand, or claim
any money or other compensation under this Contract, and to any liability on the part of
Owner to Contractor on account of this Contract.
1.3 Required Submittals
A. Submittals Required. Contractor shall submit to Engineer all
documents, data, and information specifically required to be submitted by Contractor
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-5-
under this Contract and shall, in addition, submit to Engineer all such drawings,
specifications, descriptive information, and engineering documents, data, and information
as may be required, or as may be requested by Engineer, to show the details of the Work,
including a complete description of all equipment, materials, and supplies to be provided
under this Contract (“Required Submittals”). Such details shall include, but shall not be
limited to, the kind, size, arrangement and operations of component materials and
devices; the external connections, anchorages, and supports required; performance

corner with the names of Owner, Engineer, and Contractor.
C. Verification by Contractor. Contractor shall be responsible for
obtaining Required Submittals complying with the foregoing from its Subcontractors and
Suppliers and returning reviewed documents to them. Contractor shall check and
approve all Required Submittals before submitting them to Engineer for review.
Contractor shall check and verify, or resubmit for correction, all Required Submittals
prepared by a Subcontractor or Supplier, before submitting them to Engineer. Verification
and submission of Required Submittals by Contractor shall be deemed to mean that
Contractor has, in fact, reviewed and coordinated the information in the Required
Submittals with the requirements of the Work and this Contract. Any Required Submittals
submitted to Engineer which have not been checked, reviewed, and stamped “Verified by
Contractor” (or its equivalent), will be returned unprocessed.
D. Time of Submission. All Required Submittals shall be provided to
Engineer no later than the time, if any, specified in this Contract for their submission or, if
no time for submission is specified, in sufficient time, in Engineer’s sole opinion, to permit
Engineer to review the same prior to the commencement of the part of the Work to which
they relate and prior to the purchase of any equipment, materials, or supplies that they
describe.
E. Engineer’s Review. Engineer shall review all Required Submittals
as soon as reasonably possible after their submission and shall have the right to require
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-6-
resubmittal of, and such corrections in and additions to, any or all Required Submittals as
may be necessary to make the Required Submittals conform to this Contract.
F. Responsibility for Delay and Costs of Additional Review. Contractor
shall be responsible for any delay in the Work due to delay in providing Required
Submittals conforming to this Contract. In the event more than one re-submittal of any
Required Submittal is necessary to make such Required Submittal conform to this
Contract, Contractor shall be charged the total cost incurred by Engineer for all
subsequent reviews of Required Submittals. If the amount due Contractor is not sufficient
to cover such costs, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for such costs upon demand.
G. Condition Precedent to Performance of Work. No Work with respect
to which any Required Submittal is required or has been requested, and no Work
dependent on any such Work, shall be provided or performed unless and until the
Required Submittal for such Work has been reviewed and stamped by Engineer with no
exception noted or an equivalent notation. No equipment, materials, or supplies shall be
purchased, fabricated, or installed until all Required Submittals pertaining thereto have
been reviewed and stamped by Engineer with no exception noted or an equivalent
notation. Where samples are required, the samples reviewed and stamped by Engineer
with no exception noted or its equivalent notation shall be kept at the Work Site for
comparison with, and to establish the standards of acceptance for, equipment, materials
or supplies proposed for incorporation into the Work.
H. Incorporation After Review With No Exception Noted. Every
Required Submittal that is reviewed and stamped by Engineer with no exception noted or
an equivalent notation shall immediately thereupon become a part of the Contract
Documents, and the Work shown or described thereby shall be performed in conformity
therewith unless otherwise required by Engineer.
I. No Liability. Review and stamping of any Required Submittal by
Engineer shall be for the sole purpose of examining the general arrangement, design,
and details of the proposed Work, and no review by Engineer, no noting of an exception
by Engineer, and no failure to note an exception by Engineer shall relieve Contractor of
the entire responsibility for the performance of the Work in full compliance with the
requirements of this Contract. Engineer’s review and stamping, with or without
exceptions noted, of any Required Submittal shall not constitute an approval of any part
of the Work shown in such Required Submittal and shall not be regarded as any
assumption of risk or liability by Owner or Engineer. Contractor shall have no claim under
this Contract on account of any error, omission or defect in, or revealed by, any Required
Submittal so reviewed and stamped. Engineer’s stamping of any Required Submittal with
no exception noted or an equivalent notation shall be considered to mean merely that
Engineer has no objection to Contractor proceeding, upon its own full responsibility and
liability, with the Work as shown on such Required Submittal.
GENERAL CONDITIONS

1.4 Administration of the Work
A. Contractor’s Duty to Administer the Work. Contractor shall have full
and sole responsibility for administration of the Work. Contractor’s field organization shall
include fully qualified and adequate management, supervisory and technical personnel to
insure competent and expeditious handling of all matters related to the Work. Contractor
shall have full and sole responsibility for keeping all personnel, equipment, materials,
supplies, and other things required to provide, perform, and complete the Work within the
designated construction area limits of the Work Site and out of areas not designated for
Contractor’s use. On all other lands, Contractor shall have no rights unless it obtains
them from the proper parties.
Owner shall have the authority to order Contractor to remove from the Work
Site any of Contractor’s employees or any Subcontractors’ employees who fail to
discharge responsibilities, refuse to obey instructions, or who are incompetent, abusive,
threatening, or disorderly in their conduct. Any such Person so removed shall not be
employed again on the Work. No adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time shall
be made as a result of such removal.
All Subcontractors and Suppliers shall be directly responsible to Contractor
and shall be subject to Contractor’s supervision and control. Contractor shall have the
duty to coordinate all Subcontractors and Suppliers so as to avoid hindrance or
interference among them and to ensure that the Work will be completed in full compliance
with, and as required by or pursuant to, this Contract and within the Contract Time.
Contractor shall attend, and shall cause any Subcontractor or Suppliers
whose attendance is requested to attend, any pre-construction meetings or construction
progress meetings as may be necessary for the orderly performance of the Work, as
determined by Owner or Engineer.
B. Contractor’s Superintendent. Contractor shall appoint and employ
throughout the performance of the Work a competent superintendent who shall be
approved by Owner in writing and who shall have complete charge of the Work on behalf
of Contractor. Contractor’s superintendent shall be at the Work Site at all times during
performance of the Work. Contractor shall, before beginning the Work, and at all times
during the performance of the Work, keep Owner advised in writing of such
superintendent’s name and address, and of telephone numbers where such
superintendent may be reached at all times. Such superintendent shall not be changed
without the consent of Owner unless the individual serving in that capacity leaves
Contractor’s employ or becomes unable to serve due to circumstances beyond the control
of Contractor, which shall in no event be construed to include the necessity of employing
such Person on any other contract or work. Any substitute superintendent proposed by
Contractor shall be approved by Owner in writing. In any case where Owner determines
the performance of Contractor’s superintendent is unsatisfactory or unacceptable to
Owner, Owner shall have the right to require Contractor to remove such superintendent
and to replace such superintendent with a new superintendent satisfactory to Owner.
GENERAL CONDITIONS

1.5 Conditions at the Work Site; Record Drawings
Contractor shall be fully responsible for conditions found at, and in the
vicinity of, the Work Site. Contractor shall have no claim for damages, for compensation
in excess of the Contract Price except as expressly provided, and only to the limited extent
set forth, in Sections 2.1 through 2.3 of these General Conditions of Contract, or for a
delay or extension of the Contract Time based upon conditions found at, or in the vicinity
of, the Work Site. When information pertaining to subsurface, underground or other
concealed conditions or obstructions, soils analysis, borings, test pits, buried structures,
utility locations or conditions, conditions of existing structures, and similar site information
or data and other investigations is or has been shown or indicated on the Contract
Drawings, is or has been provided by Owner or Engineer, or is or has been otherwise
made available to Contractor by Owner or Engineer, such information is or has been
shown, indicated, provided, or made available solely for the convenience of Contractor
and is not part of this Contract. Owner assumes no responsibility whatever in respect to
the sufficiency or accuracy of such information, and there is no guaranty or warranty,
either expressed or implied, that the conditions indicated are representative of those
existing throughout the Work or the Work Site, or that the conditions indicated are
representative of those existing at any particular location, or that contractors working on
other projects may not change the conditions indicated at, and in the vicinity of, the Work
Site, or that unanticipated conditions may not be present.
Contractor shall be solely responsible for locating all existing underground
installations by prospecting no later than two workdays prior to any scheduled excavation
or trenching or 200 lineal feet in advance of such excavation or trenching, whichever is
earlier. Contractor shall, prior to any excavation, notify the Joint Utility Locating
Information for Excavators (J.U.L.I.E.), (1-800-892-0123), and, with respect to owners or
operators of underground utility facilities who are not members of J.U.L.I.E., shall directly
notify such non-member owners or operators and shall otherwise fully comply with the
Illinois Underground Utility Facilities Damage Prevention Act, 220 ILCS 50/1 et seq.
Contractor shall check all dimensions, elevations, and quantities shown on the Contract
Drawings and Specifications within the same time period as set forth above for
prospecting underground installations. Contractor shall lay out the Work in accordance
with the Contract Drawings and Specifications and shall establish and maintain such
locations, lines and levels, except that wherever pre-existing work is encountered,
Contractor shall verify and be responsible for dimensions and locations of such pre-
existing work. Contractor shall notify Engineer of any discrepancy between the
dimensions, elevations and quantities shown on the Contract Drawings and
Specifications and the conditions of the Work Site or any other discrepancies which
Contractor may discover during such inspections. Contractor shall make any necessary
adjustments in the alignment or grade of the Work, subject to Engineer’s approval, to
pass around, over, or under any obstruction discovered without any equitable adjustment
in the Contract Time or, except as expressly provided, and only to the limited extent set
GENERAL CONDITIONS

forth, in Sections 2.1 through 2.3 of these General Conditions of Contract, the Contract
Price.
Contractor shall maintain, during the progress of the Work, up-to-date
copies of all Contract Drawings and Specifications and a continuous record of all field
deviations from the Contract Drawings. Before Final Acceptance of the Work, Contractor
shall submit to Owner two printed sets of Drawings of Record, unless a greater number
is specified elsewhere in this Contract, indicating all necessary additions and corrections
to the Contract Drawings to show record conditions for verification of Engineer’s drawings
of record. Upon acceptance of Contractor’s printed Drawings of Record, Contractor shall
also submit to Owner electronic Drawings of Record in electronic CADD files and/or other
electronic file format acceptable to Owner operating on an IBM compatible microcomputer
under a Windows operating system. Each such drawing and electronic drawing file shall
be plainly marked “Drawing of Record” near the title block and shall be certified as to
correctness by Contractor.
1.6 Safety of the Work Site
A. Contractor’s Responsibility. Contractor shall be solely and
completely responsible for providing and maintaining safe conditions at the Work Site,
including the safety of all Persons and property during performance of the Work. This
requirement shall apply continuously and shall not be limited to normal working hours.
Contractor shall take all safety precautions as shall be necessary to comply with all
applicable Laws, regulations, and guidelines, including without limitation OSHA, and to
prevent injury to Persons and damage to property. Contractor shall employ or hire a
competent safety representative or Subcontractor, who is capable of identifying
predictable and existing conditions that are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to
Persons or property, to devise, supervise and ensure compliance with all safety
precautions and programs as shall be necessary to comply with all applicable Laws,
regulations, and guidelines, including without limitation OSHA, and to prevent injury to
Persons and damage to property. Contractor shall advise Owner, in writing, of such
safety representative’s name, address, and telephone number or numbers where such
safety representative may be reached at all times, 24 hours per Day, and such safety
representative shall have full and complete authority to promptly correct or eliminate any
such unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous conditions. Neither Owner nor Engineer shall
be responsible for conditions at the Work Site, nor for the safety of Persons or property,
during the performance of the Work.
Contractor is advised that potentially hazardous conditions described in the
Illinois Health and Safety Act, federal OSHA Regulations and Guidelines, ANSI Standard
B30.5-1968 as amended, ANSI Standard Z117.1-1995 as amended, and Illinois
Department of Labor Rules and Regulations, could be encountered during the
performance of the Work, including without limitation energized electrical facilities and
overhead wires; cranes, derricks, and other hoisting machinery with operational and use
limitations, special hazard warnings and instructions, and revolving superstructures
requiring proper barricading; underground utility facilities requiring protection, support, or
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-10-
removal to safeguard employees; excavations requiring, among other things, safe means
of egress and protection from cave-ins, fall-ins, hazardous atmospheres, hazardous
substances, and other hazardous conditions; and confined or enclosed spaces that are
subject to the accumulation of hazardous substances or toxic or flammable contaminants
or that have oxygen deficient or other hazardous atmospheres, requiring, among other
things, independent fall protection, respiratory equipment, ventilation, two-way
communication with the outside, and safe means of egress. Contractor should take
special notice of the potentially hazardous conditions identified in this paragraph and take
all necessary precautions to guard against such potential hazards, including without
limitation conducting employee safety training and education, posting warnings and
instructions, testing and inspecting, and utilizing adequate protective and emergency
systems, equipment, and devices, in as much safety remains Contractor’s sole
responsibility under this Contract. Contractor is directed to the Illinois Health and Safety
Act, federal OSHA Regulations and Guidelines, including without limitation Occupational
Safety & Health Standards and Construction Industry Safety & Health Regulations as
outlined in Parts 1910 and 1926 of US Dept. of Labor Chapter XVII - Occupational Safety
and Health Administration, Title 29, and US Dept. of Labor Document OSHA 2202 “OSHA
Safety and Health Standards Digest,” ANSI Standard B30.5-1968 as amended, ANSI
Standard Z117.1-1995 as amended, and Illinois Department of Labor Rules and
Regulations for a further description of these potentially hazardous conditions and the
regulations applicable thereto.
Contractor is being notified of these potentially hazardous conditions so that
Contractor may independently assess the potentially hazardous conditions and take the
necessary precautions to ensure a safe workplace pursuant to this Contract and
Contractor’s legal obligations. Owner’s notification of these potentially hazardous
conditions should not be construed to be, nor interpreted as, an exclusive listing of the
potentially hazardous conditions that could be encountered during the performance of the
Work but, rather, such notice shall be construed to be, and interpreted as, exemplary
only. Owner’s notification of these potentially hazardous conditions should not be
construed or interpreted as waiving Contractor’s sole and complete responsibility for
conditions at the Work Site or for providing and maintaining safe conditions at the Work
Site, including the safety of all Persons and property during performance of the Work.
This notification of potentially hazardous conditions is provided solely to assist Contractor
in the performance of these duties, in the interest of maximum safety.
B. Traffic. Contractor shall conduct all of its operations without
interruption of or interference with vehicular and pedestrian traffic on public and private
rights-of-way, unless it has obtained permits therefor from the proper authorities. All
public and private rights-of-way not closed by permission of the proper authorities shall
be maintained passable and safe by Contractor, who shall assume and have full
responsibility for the adequacy and safety or provisions made therefor. If any public or
private right-of-way shall be rendered unsafe by Contractor’s operations, Contractor shall
make such repairs or provide such temporary ways or guards as shall be acceptable to
the proper authorities.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-11-
Contractor shall, at least 48 hours in advance, notify the proper authorities
in writing, with a copy to Engineer, if the closure of any public or private right-of-way is
necessary. Contractor shall cooperate with the proper authorities in the establishment of
alternate routes and shall provide adequate detour signs, plainly marked and well lighted,
in order to minimize confusion.
C. Fire Protection. Access to sources of water for fire protection shall
be identified and be available at all times. Fire hydrants and stop valves adjacent to the
Work shall be kept clear and readily accessible to fire apparatus and no materials or other
obstruction shall be placed, parked or stored within 15 feet of any hydrant or stop valve
except by special permission of the proper authorities.
Only construction procedures that minimize fire hazards to the extent
practicable shall be used. There shall be no open burning or confined trash fires.
Combustible debris and waste materials shall be collected or removed from the Work Site
each workday. Fuels, solvents, and other volatile or flammable materials shall be stored
away from construction and storage areas in well-marked, safe containers. Good
housekeeping, essential to fire prevention, shall be practiced by Contractor throughout
the Work.
D. Accident Records; Insurance Adjusters. Contractor shall maintain
an accurate record of all accidents and other incidents resulting in death, injury, or
occupational disease to any Person or in damage to, or loss of, any property and shall
promptly report any such accident or incident to Owner and shall provide Owner with
copies of all correspondence and pleadings related thereto, including insurance claims
and settlements. Contractor shall arrange for Contractor’s insurance adjuster to meet
with any Person affected by any such accident or other incident promptly and, in all
events, within 48 hours after Contractor’s receipt of notice from such Person, and a report
of the insurance adjuster’s findings shall be delivered to such Person within 10 days
thereafter, copies of which shall be provided to Owner and Engineer.
1.7 Cleanliness of the Work Site and Environs
Contractor shall keep the Work Site and adjacent areas clean at all times
during performance of the Work and shall remove and properly dispose of all waste and
surplus materials from the Work Site each workday in such a manner as may be
necessary to conform to Law. Contractor shall sweep and clean, and shall remove from
the Work Site all hoses, cables, extension cords and similar materials, as may be
necessary to leave the Work Site and adjacent areas in a clean and orderly condition at
the end of each workday. If Contractor fails to comply with its obligations under this
Section, Owner shall have the right to perform, or to have performed, such obligations
and to withhold or recover the cost thereof from Contractor.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-12-
1.8 Damage to the Work, the Work Site, and Other Property
The Work and everything pertaining thereto shall be provided, performed,
completed, and maintained at the sole risk and cost of Contractor from the
Commencement Date until Final Payment. Contractor shall be responsible and liable for
any damages, losses, and injuries resulting from its operations. Contractor shall be fully
responsible for the protection of all public and private property and all Persons. Without
limiting the foregoing, Contractor shall, at its own cost and expense, (1) provide temporary
heating, covering and enclosures, to the satisfaction of Engineer, as necessary to protect
the Work against damage by dampness and cold, to dry out the Work, and to facilitate
the completion of the Work; (2) provide all permanent and temporary shoring, anchoring
and bracing required by the nature of the Work, in order to make all parts absolutely stable
and rigid, even when such shoring, anchoring and bracing is not explicitly specified; and
(3) support and protect all buildings, bridges, roadways, conduits, wires, water pipes, gas
pipes, sewers, pavements, curbs, sidewalks, fixtures and landscaping of all kinds and all
other public or private property that may be encountered or endangered in providing,
performing and completing the Work.
Contractor shall have no claim against Owner because of any damage or
loss to the Work or to Contractor’s equipment, materials, or supplies from any cause
whatever, including damage or loss due to simultaneous work by others.
Contractor shall, promptly and without charge to Owner, repair or replace,
to the satisfaction of Owner, any damage done to, and any loss suffered by, the Work
and any damage done to, and any loss suffered by, the Work Site or other property as a
result of the Work.
No specific provision of this Contract to the effect that Contractor shall be
responsible and liable at its sole risk and cost for the Work or any part thereof or for
damage, loss, or injury caused by Contractor shall be construed to be an exclusive listing
of the circumstances in which Contractor bears such responsibility and liability, but,
rather, all such provisions shall be construed to be exemplary only.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, Contractor’s
obligations under this Section shall exist without regard to, and shall not be construed to
be waived by, the availability or unavailability of any insurance, either of Owner or
Contractor, to indemnify, hold harmless, or reimburse Contractor for the cost of any repair
or replacement work required by this Section.
1.9 Subcontractors and Suppliers
A. Approval and Use of Subcontractors and Suppliers. Contractor shall
perform the Work with its own personnel and under the management, supervision, and
control of its own organization unless otherwise approved by Owner in writing, which
approval Owner may exercise and revoke in its sole discretion. All Subcontractors,
Suppliers, and Subcontracts used by Contractor shall be acceptable to, and approved in
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-13-
advance by, Owner. All Persons engaged in the Work, whether or not as approved
Subcontractors, shall be deemed to be employees of Contractor for all purposes and
Contractor hereby assumes, in addition to any liability imposed by law upon Contractor
for its Subcontractors, full responsibility and liability for such Subcontractors as if they
were the employees of Contractor. Nothing in this Contract shall be construed to create
any contractual relationship between Owner and any Subcontractor or Supplier. All
relations with approved Subcontractors and Suppliers shall be the responsibility of
Contractor, and Owner shall not be responsible or obligated to deal directly with any
Subcontractor or Supplier.
Contractor is responsible for providing, performing, and completing all Work
that meets or exceeds specified requirements notwithstanding specific references in the
Contract Drawings or Specifications to duties and obligations of other contractors,
Subcontractors, Suppliers, manufacturers, trades, etc., all at no extra cost to Owner other
than the Contract Price. All such duties and obligations specifically imposed upon such
other contractors, Subcontractors, Suppliers, manufacturers, trades, etc., shall be
deemed to be imposed upon Contractor.
Owner’s approval of any Subcontractor, Supplier, or Subcontract shall not
relieve Contractor of full responsibility and liability for the provision, performance, and
completion of the Work in full compliance with, and as required by or pursuant to, this
Contract on or before the Completion Date or for the proper performance of all other
requirements of this Contract, or for Contractor’s liability on all representations and
warranties made in or pursuant to this Contract. Contractor shall remain as fully
responsible and liable for the acts, omissions, and performance of all Subcontractors and
Suppliers as Contractor is for its own acts, omissions, and performance.
If Owner refuses to approve any Subcontractor or Supplier, or, having once
approved a Subcontractor or Supplier, thereafter advises Contractor that such
Subcontractor or Supplier is no longer acceptable to Owner, then Contractor shall
undertake the Work itself or propose another Subcontractor or Supplier for Owner’s
approval. No adjustment of the Contract Price or Contract Time shall be made as a result
of Owner’s refusal to approve, or Owner’s revocation of any approval of, any
Subcontractor or Supplier.
This Section shall not be construed to prohibit Owner, if and when it
exercises any of its rights under Section 6.6 of these General Conditions of Contract, from
entering into an independent contractual relation with any Subcontractor or Supplier
employed by Contractor, and no such relation shall be construed as interfering with any

GENERAL CONDITIONS
-15-
7. Conditional Assignment. A statement that Subcontractor or
Supplier agrees to the assignment of the Subcontract to
Owner, at Owner’s option exercised by written notice to

Supplier’s Subcontract with Contractor.
8. Dispute Resolution. A statement that in case of any dispute
or claim between Subcontractor or Supplier and Contractor
involving Owner, or between Contractor and Owner involving
Subcontractor or Supplier, Subcontractor or Supplier agrees
to be bound by the provisions in this Contract pertaining to the

representations and warranties substantially identical to
Article III of the Contract Agreement.
1.10 Simultaneous Work By Others
A. By Owner. Owner shall have the right to perform or have performed
such other work as Owner may desire in, about, or near the Work Site during the
performance of the Work by Contractor.
B. Coordination. Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to
perform the Work in such manner as to enable both the Work and such other work to be
completed without hindrance or interference from each other. Contractor shall keep itself
informed of the progress and the detail of such other work; shall afford Owner and other
contractors reasonable opportunity for the execution of such other work; shall properly
connect and coordinate the Work with such other work; and shall notify Engineer
immediately of lack of progress or defective workmanship in the provision, performance,
or completion of such other work in any case where such lack of progress or defective
workmanship will or may interfere with the Work or the operations of Contractor or its
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-16-
Subcontractors. Whenever there is a conflict between the Work and such other work,
Engineer shall, upon request of Contractor or the Person performing such other work,
determine the manner in which such conflict shall be resolved or accommodated.
Contractor shall proceed at its own risk in the event Contractor fails to request such
determination from Engineer.
C. By Others. Contractor acknowledges that other contractors not
under the direction or control of Owner may be encountered in the performance of the
Work by Contractor. Contractor shall perform the Work in such a manner as to enable
both the Work and the work of such other contractors to be completed without hindrance
or interference from each other.
D. Changes. If other contractors, regardless of whether such
contractors are under the direction or control of Owner or are not under the direction or
control of Owner, change the conditions found at, or in the vicinity of, the Work Site, both
Contractor and Owner shall treat the new conditions as if they were previously existing
conditions. Owner shall not be entitled to any credits and Contractor shall not be entitled
to any equitable adjustment in the Contract Price as a result of such changes except as
expressly provided, and only to the limited extent set forth, in Sections 2.1 through 2.3 of
these General Conditions of Contract.
E. Claims. If the Work or any of Contractor’s operations or property is
damaged by any other Person, Contractor shall make its claim directly against such
Person. If a dispute develops between Contractor and any such other Person concerning
the responsibility for any such damage, the dispute shall be resolved with such other
Person by whatever method may be available and appropriate, but such dispute shall not
be cause for delay in the restoration of the damaged Work, and Contractor shall restore
the Work immediately. Failure of Contractor to comply with this Subsection shall entitle
Owner to perform, or to have performed, all Work necessary for compliance with this
Subsection and to withhold or recover from Contractor the cost of such Work.
1.11 Occupancy Prior to Final Acceptance
Owner shall have the right, at its election, to occupy, use, or place in service any
part of the Work prior to Final Acceptance of the Work. Such occupancy, use, or
placement in service shall be conducted in such manner as not to damage any of the
Work or to unreasonably interfere with the progress of the Work. No such occupancy,
use, or placement in service shall be construed as an acceptance of any of the Work or
a release or satisfaction of Contractor’s duty to insure and protect the Work, nor shall it
be considered as an interference with Contractor’s provision, performance, or completion
of the Work.
1.12 Suspension or Termination of Work for Convenience
A. Suspension for Convenience. Owner shall have the right at any time,
by Change Order, for its convenience, to suspend, for such period of time as may be
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-17-
determined by Owner to be necessary or desirable for the convenience of Owner, and
thereafter to require resumption of, the whole or any part of the Work, without invalidating
the provisions of this Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to any equitable
adjustment in the Contract Price as a result of any such suspension for convenience of
Owner.
B. Termination for Convenience. Owner shall have the right at any time,
by Change Order, for its convenience, to terminate the Work in whole or in part.
C. Owner’s and Contractor’s Obligations. Every Change Order issued
pursuant to Subsection 1.12A or Subsection 1.12B shall state the extent and effective
date of such termination or suspension. On such effective date, Contractor shall, as and
to the extent directed, stop Work under this Contract, cease all placement of further orders
or Subcontracts, terminate or suspend Work under existing orders and Subcontracts,
cancel any outstanding orders or Subcontracts that can be canceled, and take any action
necessary to protect any property in its possession in which Owner has or may acquire
any interest and to dispose of such property in such manner as may be directed by Owner.
D. Payments for Completed Work. In the event of any termination
pursuant to Subsection 1.12B above, Owner shall pay Contractor (1) such direct costs,
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in the
construction industry, consistently applied, and excluding overhead, as Contractor shall
have paid or incurred for all Work done in compliance with, or as required by or pursuant
to, this Contract up to the effective date of termination, together with ten percent of such
costs for overhead and profit; and (2) such other costs pertaining to the Work, exclusive
of overhead and profit, as Contractor may have reasonably and necessarily incurred as
the result of any such termination. The total payment to be made to Contractor by reason
of such termination shall not in any event exceed a percentage of this Contract equal to
the proportion that the Work completed prior to the effective date of termination bears to
the total Work required by this Contract. Any such payment shall be offset by any prior
payment or payments and shall be subject to Owner’s rights to withhold or deduct as
provided in this Contract.
1.13 Charge for Overtime Engineering
Owner shall have the right to charge Contractor for engineering and
inspection services in connection with any Overtime Work. [Such charge shall be equal
to the total cost incurred by Engineer for the number of Engineer’s personnel
reasonably required to be present during such Overtime Work.] OR [Such charge
shall be [$60.00] for each hour of Overtime Work multiplied by the number of
Engineer’s personnel reasonably required to be present during such Overtime
Work.] If the amount due Contractor is not sufficient to cover such charge, Contractor
shall reimburse Owner upon demand. For purposes of this provision, Overtime Work
shall mean any Work conducted beyond the [regular eight-hour workday, or at any
time on Saturdays, Sundays, or federal, state or local holidays] [working hours
specified in the Special Conditions of Contract].

ARTICLE II
CHANGES AND DELAYS
2.1 Changes
A. Field Adjustments. No equitable adjustment shall be made in the
Contract Price, and no Change Order, other than a possible Balancing Change Order
pursuant to Paragraph 5.1C2 of these General Conditions of Contract, shall be issued,
for field adjustments in the Work ordered by Owner or resulting from, arising out of, or in
any way related to, conditions found at, or in the vicinity of, the Work Site, including
subsurface, underground or other concealed conditions or obstructions, buried structures,
utility locations or conditions, adverse soil conditions, changed site conditions due to work
by other contractors, and similar site conditions, that, in combination with all Change
Orders and all other field adjustments, increase the quantity of any Unit Price Item by 20
percent or less of the approximate quantity for that Unit Price Item set forth in the
Schedule of Prices, or increase the quantity of discrete units comprising any lump sum
component part of the Work by 20 percent or less of the quantity of discrete units
comprising that lump sum component part of the Work set forth in the Breakdown
Schedule, as the case may be. Contractor shall be solely responsible for dealing with
such field adjustments and Owner shall not be entitled to any credits and Contractor shall
not be entitled to any equitable adjustments in the Contract Price as a result of such field
adjustments. For Work to be paid on a Unit Price basis, any such increases in the quantity
of any Unit Price Item shall be paid for at the respective Unit Price for each such Unit
Price Item set forth in the Schedule of Prices. For lump sum Unit Prices, the percentage
of increase, and the amount to be paid for such field adjustments, shall be determined on
the basis of the number of discrete units comprising such lump sum Unit Price Item set
forth in the Breakdown Schedule for that lump sum Unit Price Item. For Work to be paid
on a lump sum basis, no amounts shall be paid for such increases in any lump sum
component part of the Work other than the lump sum amount included in the Breakdown
Schedule for that lump sum component part of the Work.
B. Change Orders. Owner shall have the right to issue Change Orders
to Contractor without the consent of Contractor and without notice to any surety of
Contractor. Owner shall also issue Change Orders making an equitable adjustment in
the Contract Price for any field adjustment as set forth in Subsection 2.1A above that, in
combination with all Change Orders and all other field adjustments pursuant to
Subsection 2.1A above, increase the quantity of any Unit Price Item by more than 20
percent of the approximate quantity for that Unit Price Item set forth in the Schedule of
Prices, or increase the quantity of discrete units comprising any lump sum component
part of the Work by more than 20 percent of the quantity of discrete units comprising that
lump sum component part of the Work set forth in the Breakdown Schedule, as the case
may be, but only for that portion of Work that exceeds 120 percent of said quantity or
discrete units comprising a lump sum component part of the Work. For lump sum Unit
Prices, the percentage of increase shall be determined on the basis of the number of
discrete units comprising such lump sum Unit Price Item set forth in the Breakdown
Schedule for that lump sum Unit Price Item.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-19-
Contractor shall promptly comply with every Change Order, notwithstanding
any disputes or objections concerning such Change Order. No Change Order shall be
construed to invalidate this Contract not to entitle Contractor to additional compensation
except and only to the extent provided in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 below.
No Balancing Change Order issued pursuant to Paragraph 5.1C2 of these
General Conditions of Contract shall constitute, be deemed to be, or operate as, an
equitable adjustment in the Contract Price.
C. Classification. For purposes of Subsections 2.1A and 2.1B above,
in determining whether an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price shall be made based
upon any field adjustment, any increase in any component part of the Work included or
subsumed within a Unit Price Item as defined in the Contract Drawings and
Specifications, or included or subsumed within a discrete unit comprising a lump sum
component part of the Work set forth in the Breakdown Schedule, as the case may be,
shall be classified under such Unit Price Item or discrete unit, and the fact that Contractor
uses a different method of providing, performing, and completing such field adjustment
than originally contemplated shall not be a basis for not classifying such Work under one
or more of the Unit Price Items set forth in the Schedule of Prices, or under one or more
of such discrete units set forth in the Breakdown Schedule, as the case may be.
2.2 Equitable Adjustments
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, if any Change Order
causes an increase or decrease in the amount of the Work or if a Change Order is
required to be issued for certain field adjustments as set forth in Subsection 2.1B above,
an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time may, upon the request of
either Owner or Contractor, be made pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 of these
General Conditions of Contract.
Any Change Order issued that does not include an equitable adjustment in
the Contract Price or Contract Time shall be construed to be a determination by Owner
that Contractor is not entitled to any equitable adjustment by reason of such Change
Order. All claims by Contractor for an equitable adjustment in either the Contract Price
or the Contract Time based on a Change Order shall be made, whenever feasible, before
Contractor proceeds with any Work pursuant to such Change Order and shall, in all
events, be made no later than two business days after receipt of such Change Order. All
such claims shall, if not made prior to such time, be conclusively deemed to have been
waived. Any claims by Contractor for an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or
Contract Time that have not been included, or fully included, in a Change Order shall not
relieve Contractor of its responsibility to proceed without delay to perform the Work in
compliance with the Change Order.
No equitable adjustment shall be made in the Contract Price or Contract
Time on the basis that the Work is, or has become, more difficult than Contractor’s Price
Proposal would reflect or because of any risk or change in the Work that Contractor is
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-20-
responsible for dealing with under this Contract without any equitable adjustment in the
Contract Price or Contract Time as set forth in Subsection 2.1A above and in Subsection
2.4A below.
2.3 Contract Price Adjustments
A. Increased Work. If any Change Order causes an increase in the
amount of the Work or if a Change Order is required to be issued for certain field
adjustments as set forth in Subsection 2.1B above (“Increased Work”), then Engineer
shall determine, and include in such Change Order, subject to the limitations of Sections
2.1 and 2.2 above, the amount of the equitable adjustment in Contract Price, if any, to be
allowed. Such determination shall be made as follows:
1. Unit Prices. If the Schedule of Prices provides Unit Prices and
if the Increased Work or any part thereof that can be classified
under one or more of the Unit Price Items set forth in the
Schedule of Prices, then such Increased Work or part thereof
classified under such Unit Price Item shall be paid for at the
Unit Price listed in the Schedule of Prices for such Unit Price
Item unless, for good cause shown, Contractor and Owner
agree upon either a greater or lesser Unit Price for such
Increased Work or part thereof or unless Owner, in its sole
discretion, elects not to pay for the Increased Work or part
thereof on the basis of Unit Prices, in which event, such
Increased Work shall be paid for as set forth in either
Paragraph 2.3A2 or Paragraph 2.3A3 below.
2. Agreed Prices. If the Schedule of Prices does not provide Unit
Prices or if the Increased Work or any part thereof cannot be
classified under one or more of the Unit Price Items set forth
in the Schedule of Prices or if Owner elects, pursuant to
Paragraph 2.3A1 above, not to pay for the Increased Work or
part thereof on the basis of Unit Prices, then such Increased
Work or part thereof shall be paid for on the basis of such lump
sum price or such time and material prices as Owner and
Contractor may agree prior to the commencement of such
Increased Work unless Owner elects, in its sole discretion, to
pay for such Increased Work or part thereof as set forth in
Paragraph 2.3A3 below.
3. Reasonable Cost Plus. Any Increased Work or part thereof
not paid for pursuant to Paragraphs 2.3A1 or 2.3A2 above
shall, to the extent entitled to be paid for pursuant to this
Contract, be paid for at the reasonable cost of such Increased
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-21-
Work or part thereof, as determined by Engineer, in the
manner provided in this Paragraph.
Except as hereinafter limited, the reasonable cost of
Increased Work shall include the reasonable cost, as
determined by Engineer, to Contractor of all personnel
employed and all equipment, materials, and supplies used, on
the Increased Work for the period of such employment or use.
The reasonable cost of Increased Work shall include amounts
paid, if any, for Social Security, insurance such as workers’
compensation, other direct assessments upon Contractor’s
payroll by authorized public agencies, and other approved
assessments such as union benefits not normally included in
payments made directly to employees but customarily
recognized as part of the payroll cost of doing the Work.
The reasonable cost of Increased Work shall not include
insurance not directly related to payroll expenses such as
liability insurance or property damage insurance.
The reasonable cost of Increased Work shall not include the
cost of any purchase or rental of any buildings or small tools.
The reasonable cost of Increased Work shall not include the
cost of any personnel above the level of foreman or the cost
of Contractor’s office and engineering staff.
The reasonable cost of all equipment used on the Increased
Work shall be based upon the monthly rental rates set forth in
the most recent edition of “RENTAL RATE BLUEBOOK FOR
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT” published by
Nielson/DATAQUEST or a similar publication approved by
Engineer (the “Approved Rate”). The reasonable hourly cost
of equipment shall be calculated by multiplying the Approved
Rate (without consideration of overtime charges or charges
for fuel and oil) by 12 and dividing the product by 2,080. If the
Increased Work requires the use of equipment not already on
the Work Site, or not already required to be provided at the
Work Site under the terms of this Contract, the cost of
transportation, not exceeding a distance of 100 miles, of such
equipment to and from the Work Site shall be considered part
of the reasonable cost of the Increased Work.
Contractor may add a maximum of fifteen percent of the
reasonable costs set forth above to cover the costs of use of
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-22-
capital, overhead, and profit, including premiums on any
Bonds or insurance on account of the Increased Work (except
as hereinbefore permitted for direct reimbursement), and
profit and overhead of any and all Subcontractors and
Suppliers performing all or any part of the Increased Work.
Contractor shall keep a daily record of all Increased Work
provided, performed, or completed by Contractor or any
Subcontractor or Supplier. The daily record shall include the
nature of the Increased Work performed, the names of all
personnel employed and the hours worked by each, the
equipment, materials and supplies used, including, where
appropriate, the quantities used and the hours of use. To
constitute verification that Increased Work was provided,
performed, or completed, the daily record for each Day must
be signed by both Contractor and Engineer not later than the
end of the following business day. Contractor’s failure to so
keep and so verify such a daily record shall constitute a waiver
of any claim for compensation for Increased Work.
In the event of any dispute as to the reasonableness of the
method or manner of performing any Increased Work, or the
cost thereof, including, but not limited to, personnel or
equipment requirements to perform the Increased Work,
Contractor shall provide all supporting documentation,
including cancelled checks, payroll documentation, and any
relevant union requirements or regulations. In the absence of
such supporting documentation, Engineer’s determination of
the reasonableness of the chosen method or manner of
performing the Increased Work, of the cost thereof, and, if
unreasonable, of the reasonable cost of providing,
performing, and completing the Increased Work if a
reasonable method or manner or cost had been chosen, shall
be conclusive and binding on Contractor.
4. For purposes of Paragraphs 2.3A1 and 2.3A2, in determining
whether the Increased Work or any part thereof can be
classified under one or more of the Unit Price Items set forth
in the Schedule of Prices, any increase in any component part
of the Work included or subsumed within a Unit Price Item as
defined in the Contract Drawings and Specifications shall be
classified under such Unit Price Item and the fact that
Contractor uses a different method of providing, performing,
and completing Increased Work than Contractor originally
contemplated shall not be a basis for not classifying Increased
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-23-
Work under one or more of the Unit Price Items set forth in the
Schedule of Prices.
5. Except as set forth above, no claim for compensation in
excess of the Contract Price shall be made or allowed on
account of Increased Work.
B. Decreased Work. If any Change Order causes a decrease in the
amount of the Work (“Decreased Work”), then Engineer shall determine, and include in
such Change Order, (1) the amount of the equitable adjustment in the Contract Price to
be credited to Owner based on the value of the Decreased Work determined in
accordance with Subsection 5.1C of these General Conditions of Contract and (2) the
allowance, if any, due Contractor for any actual loss incurred in connection with the
purchase, delivery, and subsequent disposal of equipment, materials, or supplies that
would have been used on the Work but for the Change Order and that could not be
returned to their source for credit or used in any part of the Work as actually provided,
performed and completed. In no event shall any Decreased Work entitle Contractor to
make a claim for damages, anticipated profits, or any other compensation except the
aforesaid allowance for actual loss incurred for such unused and unreturned equipment,
materials, or supplies. Ownership of any such unused equipment, materials, or supplies
paid for by Owner shall, at Owner’s option, be conveyed to Owner.
C. Netting of Price Adjustments. When both Increased Work and
Decreased Work result from a single Change Order, the allowance for overhead and profit
pursuant to the reasonable cost method of Paragraph 2.3A3 above, if utilized, shall be
figured on the basis of the net increase, if any, in the Work.
D. No Compensation for Delays. Contractor shall not claim or be
entitled to any payment, compensation, damages, or adjustment of any kind, other than
a possible extension of the Contract Time, if applicable, as provided for in
Subsection 2.4C below, because of hindrances or delays, whether avoidable or
unavoidable, from any cause in the commencement, provision, performance, or
completion of the Work, including but not limited to:
1. Any act, error, omission or interference of Owner, Engineer,
or any other Person, including, without limitation, late,
changed, or erroneous Bidding Documents or Contract
Documents; changes in sequence, suspensions,
accelerations, or de-accelerations of the Work; lack of access,
rights-of-way, or easements for the Work; lack of approvals,
decisions, or payments; issuance of Change Orders; or
occupancy, use, or placement into service of the Work prior
to Final Acceptance;
2. Differing or unanticipated conditions at, or in the vicinity of, the
Work Site;
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-24-
3. The simultaneous presence and operations of other
contractors;
4. Strikes, lockouts, or labor or material shortages;
5. Fires or other casualties;
6. Delays in transportation; and
7. Acts of God or natural phenomena, whether or not such
phenomena are unusual or unusually severe considering the
time of year and the particular locality involved.
Contractor expressly agrees that it will accept in full satisfaction for all such delays and
hindrances a possible extension of the Contract Time, if applicable, as provided in
Subsection 2.4C below and that it will make no claim for, nor be entitled to, equitable
adjustment of the Contract Price; or any compensatory, acceleration, or disruption
damages; or any other damages or costs of any kind or nature for any such delays or
hindrances, including, but not limited to, damages or costs resulting from, arising out of,
or in any way related to increases in time-related costs; increases in costs of labor,
equipment, materials, or supplies; costs of additional personnel; costs of additional
equipment; costs of additional premium time for personnel or equipment; increase in costs
for Bond or insurance premiums; lower labor productivity; lost profits or alternative
income; effects on other contracts; and costs of demobilization and remobilization.
2.4 Extensions of Contract Time
A. Anticipated Delays. Difficulties or obstructions that may arise out of,
or be encountered as a result of, adverse weather conditions, equipment breakdowns,
subsurface, underground or other concealed conditions or obstructions, buried structures,
utility locations or conditions, adverse soil conditions, and changed site conditions due to
work by other contractors are inherent in the nature of the Work of this Contract.
Allowances and contingencies for dealing with such difficulties or obstructions are to be
allowed for in Contractor’s schedule and shall not be treated as unavoidable delays
pursuant to Subsection 2.4C below. Changes in the sequence in which the Work is
provided, performed, and completed resulting from delays or hindrances that affect only
part of the Work but not the provision, performance, or completion of other parts of the
Work, nor completion of the whole of the Work, are also inherent in the nature of the Work
of this Contract. Allowances and contingencies for such changes are to be allowed for in
Contractor’s schedule and shall not be treated as unavoidable delays pursuant to
Subsection 2.4C below.
B. Extensions for Increased Work. Subject to Subsection 2.4A above,
when a Change Order causes an increase in the time required to complete the Work, an
extension of the Contract Time shall be granted as part of such Change Order for a period
of time equal to the additional time required to complete the Work.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-25-
C. Extensions for Unavoidable Delays. Subject to Subsection 2.4A
above, for any delay or hindrance in completing the Work that may result from causes
that could not be avoided or controlled by Contractor, as determined by Owner,
Contractor shall upon timely written application, immediately upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to such unavoidable delay and, in any event, no later than two business
days thereafter, be entitled to issuance of a Change Order providing for an extension of
the Contract Time for a period of time equal to the delay resulting from such unavoidable
cause.
D. Extensions for Suspensions. If Owner orders Contractor to suspend
the whole of the Work or to suspend a part of the Work that increases the time required
to complete the Work, Owner shall, unless such suspension was due to Contractor’s
failure to perform in accordance with the requirements of this Contract, extend the
Contract Time for a period of time equal to the delay caused by such suspension.
2.5 Constructive Change Orders
Sections 2.2 through 2.4 set forth the sole means by which an equitable
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time shall be allowed. No claims for
equitable adjustments in the Contract Price or Contract Time shall be made or allowed
unless embodied in a Change Order initiated by Owner pursuant to Section 2.1 or
requested by Contractor, and approved by Owner, pursuant to this Section 2.5. If Owner
fails to issue a Change Order including, or fully including, an equitable adjustment in the
Contract Price or Contract Time to which Contractor claims it is entitled under Sections
2.2 through 2.4, Contractor may assert a claim that it is entitled to a constructive change
order for, but only for, the equitable adjustment due under said Sections pursuant to the
procedures of this Section 2.5. If Contractor believes that any requirement, direction,
instruction, interpretation, determination, or decision of Owner or Engineer entitles
Contractor to an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time under
Sections 2.2 through 2.4 that has not been included, or fully included, in a Change Order,
then Contractor shall submit to Engineer, with a copy to Owner, a written request for the
issuance of, or revision of, a Change Order, including the equitable adjustment, or the
additional equitable adjustment, in the Contract Price or Contract Time that Contractor
claims has not been included, or fully included, in a Change Order. Such request shall,
whenever feasible, be submitted before Contractor proceeds with any Work for which
Contractor claims an equitable adjustment is due and shall, in all events, be submitted no
later than two business days after receipt of notice of such requirement, direction,
instruction, interpretation, determination, or decision. Upon receipt by Engineer of any
such request, the parties shall proceed as provided in Article VI of these General
Conditions of Contract pertaining to disputes and remedies. Notwithstanding the
submission of any such request, Contractor shall proceed without delay to perform the
Work as required, directed, instructed, interpreted, or decided by Owner or Engineer and
shall, pending a final resolution of the issue, keep a daily record of such Work in the
manner provided in Paragraph 2.3A3 above. Unless Contractor submits such a request
within two business days after receipt of notice of such requirement, direction, instruction,
interpretation, determination, or decision, Contractor shall be conclusively deemed (1) to
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-26-
have agreed that such requirement, direction, instruction, interpretation, determination, or
decision does not entitle Contractor to an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or
Contract Time and (2) to have waived all claims based on such requirement, direction,
instruction, interpretation, determination, or decision.
2.6 No Waiver and Release
Except to the extent embodied in a Change Order, neither the provisions of
this Article II nor any communication between or among Owner, Engineer, and Contractor
shall operate to relieve Contractor of its duty to perform the Work in full compliance with,
and as required by or pursuant to, this Contract, within the Contract Time, and for the
Contract Price, or to release or discharge Contractor from any duty arising under this
Contract.
2.7 No Other Compensation
No payments, compensation, damages, reimbursements, or monetary
consideration of any kind shall be paid or owing to Contractor in connection with, or arising
out of, this Contract other than, and subject to deduction as provided for in this Contract,
the lump sum amount or amounts stated in the Schedule of Prices, for Work to be paid
on a lump basis, the Unit Price stated in the Schedule of Prices for each acceptable unit
of each Unit Price Item installed and complete in place, measured on the basis defined in
the Contract Drawings and Specifications or, in the absence of such definition, on the
basis determined by Engineer, for Work to be paid on a Unit Price basis, the equitable
adjustment in the Contract Price included in any Change Order, and any bonuses
provided for, and only to the extent provided in, the Special Conditions of Contract.
Contractor shall not claim or be entitled to any other payment, compensation, damage,
reimbursement, or monetary consideration of any kind for the provision, performance, or
completion of the Work.
2.8 Specific References Exemplary
No specific provision of this Contract to the effect that there shall be no
change or adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time shall be construed to be an
exclusive listing of the circumstances in which there shall be no adjustment in Contract
Price or Contract Time, but, rather, all such provisions shall be construed to be exemplary
only.

A. Inspection. Until Final Payment, all parts of the Work shall be subject
to inspection and testing by Owner, by Engineer, by any public authority having
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-27-
jurisdiction, and by any other Person designated by Owner. Contractor shall furnish, at
its own expense, all reasonable access, assistance, and safe and proper facilities
required by such Persons for such inspection and testing, both at the Work Site and at
any Subcontractor’s or Supplier’s plant or other source of supply, with full permission to
take samples of any materials or supplies that may or might be used in the Work, at
Contractor’s own expense. Contractor shall notify Owner and Engineer of the readiness
of any part of the Work for any inspection or test that may be required by or pursuant to
this Contract or applicable Laws. Owner and Engineer shall perform all of their
inspections and tests so as not to delay the Work unduly, but Contractor shall schedule
the Work in light of the need for time to perform such inspections and tests. No part of
the Work as to which any specific inspection or test is required shall be covered or closed
until such inspection or test has been completed. If such Work is covered or closed, then
it shall be uncovered or opened and, after the inspection or test, recovered or reclosed,
by Contractor, all at Contractor’s expense.
B. Additional Inspections. If any Work for which an inspection or test is
not required by this Contract has been covered or closed so as to prevent inspection or
testing, Owner shall nevertheless have the right to order such Work to be inspected or
tested and, if so ordered, such Work shall be uncovered or opened by Contractor. If the
Work thus uncovered or opened is found to be free from defects, damage, and flaws and
to be suitable for its intended purpose and to be otherwise in conformity with this Contract,
then Owner shall pay the cost of uncovering, opening, re-inspecting, re-testing, covering,
or closing, as the case may be. If the Work uncovered or opened is not free from defects,
damage, and flaws or is not suitable for its intended purpose or is otherwise not in
conformity with this Contract, then Contractor shall pay all such costs.
C. Re-Inspections. Re-inspection and re-testing of any Work may be
ordered by Owner at any time, and, if so ordered, any covered or closed Work shall be
uncovered or opened by Contractor. If the Work thus uncovered or opened is found to
be free from defects, damage, and flaws and to be suitable for its intended purpose and
to be otherwise in conformity with this Contract, then Owner shall pay the cost of
uncovering, opening, re-inspecting, re-testing, covering, or closing, as the case may be.
If the Work uncovered or opened is not free from defects, damage, and flaws or is not
suitable for its intended purpose or is otherwise not in conformity with this Contract, then
Contractor shall pay all such costs.
D. Correction. Until Final Payment, Contractor shall, promptly and
without charge, repair, correct, or replace all or any part of the Work that is defective,
damaged, flawed, or unsuitable or that in any way fails to conform strictly to the
requirements of this Contract and shall pay to Owner all resulting costs, expenses, losses,
or damages suffered by Owner as a result of any such defect, damage, flaw, unsuitability
or nonconformity.
E. No Waiver. No inspection or test, failure to inspect or test, or waiver
of inspection or testing by Owner or Engineer shall relieve Contractor of its duty to
complete the Work in full compliance with, and as required by or pursuant to, this
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-28-
Contract. Failure or neglect on the part of Engineer to condemn Work that is defective,
damaged, flawed, unsuitable, or nonconforming shall not be construed as acceptance of
such Work nor as a waiver of compliance with the requirements of this Contract.
3.2 Warranty of Work
A. Scope of Warranty. Contractor warrants that the Work and all of its
components shall be free from defects and flaws in design, workmanship, and materials;
shall strictly conform to the requirements of this Contract; and shall be fit, sufficient, and
suitable for the purposes expressed in, or reasonably inferred from, this Contract.
Contractor further warrants that the strength of all parts of all equipment, materials, and
supplies incorporated into the Work shall be adequate and as specified and sufficient to
meet the performance requirements of this Contract. The warranty herein expressed
shall not be the sole and exclusive warranty but, rather, shall be in addition to any other
warranties expressed in this Contract, or expressed or implied by Law, which are hereby
reserved unto Owner.
B. Repairs; Extension of Warranty. Contractor shall, promptly and
without charge, correct any failure to fulfill the above warranty that may be discovered or
develop at any time within two years after Final Payment or such longer period as may
be prescribed in the Contract Drawings and Specifications, in the Special Conditions of
Contract, or by Law. The above warranty shall be extended automatically to cover all
repaired and replacement parts and labor provided or performed under such warranty
and Contractor’s obligation to correct Work shall be extended for a period of two years
from the date of such repair or replacement. Nothing contained in this Subsection 3.2B
shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations that
Contractor has under this Contract. The time period established in this Subsection 3.2B
relates only to the specific obligation of Contractor to correct Work and has no relationship
to the time within which the obligations to comply with this Contract may be sought to be
enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish
Contractor’s liability with respect to Contractor’s obligations other than specifically to
correct the Work.
3.3 Contractor Duty to Correct Without Delay
In the event of any claim by Owner pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2
above that the Work is defective, damaged, flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming, or that
the Work fails to fulfill the above warranty, Contractor shall be given a reasonable
opportunity to confirm the validity of such claim, but Contractor shall not, unless
authorized in writing by Owner, delay correction of the claimed defect, damage, flaw,
unsuitability, nonconformity, or failure while making such determination. In the event any
such claim is shown to be invalid following such correction by Contractor, Owner shall
pay the cost of such correction.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-29-
3.4 Owner’s Right to Correct
If, within two business days after Owner gives Contractor notice of any
defect, damage, flaw, unsuitability, nonconformity, or failure to meet warranty subject to
correction by Contractor pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 above, Contractor fails,
refuses, or neglects to make, or to undertake with due diligence to make, the necessary
corrections, then Owner shall be entitled to make, either with its own forces or with
contract forces, the corrections and to recover from Contractor all resulting costs,
expenses, losses, or damages, including attorneys’ fees and administrative expenses.
If in the judgment of Owner, the delay required to give Contractor the
aforesaid two business days notice would cause serious damage or loss that could be
avoided by immediate action, Owner shall have the right, without giving prior notice to
Contractor, to perform, or to have performed, all work necessary to make the corrections
and to recover from Contractor the cost of such corrections. In such event, Contractor
shall be notified as promptly as possible and shall assist, whenever possible, in making
the necessary corrections.
3.5 Subcontractor and Supplier Warranties
Whenever the Special Conditions of Contract or the Specifications require
a Subcontractor or Supplier to provide a guaranty or warranty, Contractor shall be solely
responsible for obtaining said guaranty or warranty in form satisfactory to Owner and
assigning said warranty or guaranty to Owner. Acceptance of any assigned warranties
or guaranties by Owner shall be a precondition to Final Payment and shall not relieve
Contractor of any of its guaranty or warranty obligations under this Contract.
Whenever the Special Conditions of Contract or the Specifications require
a Subcontractor or Supplier to provide a guaranty or warranty, Contractor shall be solely
responsible to obtain from the guarantying or warranting Person a written certification, in
form satisfactory to Owner, that (1) all things required for the successful operation of the
warranted item in accordance with the Specifications have been designed, manufactured
and installed in accordance with all requirements of the guarantying or warranting Person;
(2) all requirements and conditions necessary to validate the guaranty or warranty,
whether specified in this Contract or not, have been complied with; and (3) all procedures
necessary to maintain the guaranty or warranty in full force and effect during the
applicable guaranty or warranty period, including but not limited to maintenance
obligations and storage conditions, have been provided to Owner in writing and written
acknowledgments of all such disclosed procedures have been provided by Owner to the
warranting or guarantying Person. Acceptance of any such certification by Owner shall
be a precondition to Final Payment and shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations
under this Contract to provide additional or other certifications.

days after the receipt by the contractor of the Notice of Award and the unexecuted contract,
it being understood and agreed that the Village will not approve and execute the contract,
nor will the bid guarantee be returned until acceptable insurance certificates are received
and approved by the Village.
Each contractor performing any work pursuant to a contract with the Village of
Oak Brook and each permittee working under a permit as required pursuant to the provisions

A contractor or permittee shall maintain insurance with limits no less than:
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-31-
A. General Liability - $2,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily
injury, personal injury and property damage, provided that when the estimated

deductible or self-insured retention as respects the Village, its officers, officials, employees,
volunteers and agents; or the Insured shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses
and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses to the extent of such
deductible or self-insured retention.
The policies shall contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
D. General Liability and Automobile Liability Coverage -
(1) The Village, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers are to be
covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities
performed by or on behalf of the Insured; premises owned, occupied or
used by the Insured. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on
the scope of protection afforded to the Village, its officers, officials,
employees, volunteers and agents.
(2) The Insured's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects
the Village, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers. Any insurance
or self-insurance maintained by the Village, its officers, officials,

shall not contribute with it.
(3) Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not
affect coverage provided to the Village, its officers, officials, employees or
volunteers.
(4) The Insured's insurance shall apply separately to each covered party
against whom claim is made or suit is brought except with respect to the
limits of the insurer's liability.
E. Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability Coverage
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-32-
The policy shall waive all rights of subrogation against the Village, its
officers, officials, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work
performed by the insured for the Village.

commences. The Village reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all
required insurance policies, at any time.
Each insured shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or
shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages
for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
4.4 Additional Coverages
The insurance coverages and limits required by Section 4.3 above shall be
deemed to be minimum coverages and limits and shall not be construed in any way as a

shall at all times carry such additional coverages and limits as may be necessary to fully
comply with this Contract.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
-33-
ARTICLE V
PAYMENT
5.1 Progress Payments
A. General. Owner shall pay to Contractor in monthly installments,
subject to any additions, deductions, or withholdings provided for in this Contract,
90 percent of the Value of the Work, determined in the manner set forth in
Subsection 5.1C below, installed and complete up to the Day before the Pay Request,
less the aggregate of all previous Progress Payments. The total amount of Progress
Payments made prior to Final Acceptance by Owner shall not exceed 90 percent of the
Contract Price.
B. Pay Requests. Contractor shall, as a condition precedent to its right
to receive each Progress Payment, submit to Engineer four (unless otherwise provided
in the Specifications) originally executed copies of a request for payment in the form
provided by Owner and accompanied by such supporting data and documentation as may
be required by this Contract or by Owner or Engineer (“Pay Request”). The first Pay
Request shall be submitted not sooner than 30 Days following the Commencement of the
Work. Owner may, by written notice to Contractor, designate a specific Day of each
month on or before which Pay Requests must be submitted.
Pay Requests shall include the following minimum data and documentation,
all of which shall be on forms supplied by, or otherwise acceptable to, Owner:
(i) Contractor’s certification of the Value of the Work for which payment
is then requested. If such certification is accepted by Engineer, it
shall constitute the Value of the Work for the purpose of determining
the amount of the current Progress Payment. If such certification is
not accepted by Engineer, and if Engineer and Contractor are unable
to agree as to the Value of the Work in question, such value shall,
for the purpose of determining the amount of the current Progress
Payment, be determined by Engineer in accordance with
Subsection 5.1C below.
(ii) Contractor’s certification that all prior Progress Payments have been
properly applied to the payment or reimbursement of the costs with
respect to which they were paid.
(iii) Contractor’s Sworn Statement.
(iv) Contractor’s partial or final waiver of lien.
(v) Subcontractors’ and Suppliers’ Sworn Statements.
(vi) Subcontractors’ and Suppliers’ partial or final waivers of lien.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-34-
(vii) Such other receipts, releases, affidavits, certificates, and other
evidence as may be necessary to establish, to Owner’s satisfaction,
Contractor’s, and its Subcontractors’ and Suppliers’, entitlement to
the Progress Payment being requested, prior payment for all labor,
equipment, materials, supplies, and other things covered by the Pay
Request; and the absence of any interest, whether in the nature of a
Lien or otherwise, of any Person in the Work, the Work Site, or any
other property belonging to, or being held by, Owner.
C. Value of Work. The Value of the Work shall be determined as
follows:
1. Lump Sum Items. For all Work to be paid on a lump sum
basis, Contractor shall, not later than 10 days after execution of the Contract Agreement
unless otherwise provided in the Specifications and, in all events, before submitting its
first Pay Request, submit to Engineer a schedule showing the value of each component
part of such Work, and the quantity of discrete units comprising such component part of
the Work, in form and with substantiating data and documentation acceptable to Engineer
(“Breakdown Schedule”). The sum of the items listed in the Breakdown Schedule shall
equal the amount or amounts set forth in the Schedule of Prices for lump sum Work.
Overhead and profit shall not be listed as separate items in the Breakdown Schedule. An
unbalanced Breakdown Schedule providing for overpayment of Contractor on component
parts of the Work to be performed first will not be accepted. The Breakdown Schedule
shall be revised and resubmitted until acceptable to Engineer. No payment shall be made
for any lump sum Work until Contractor has submitted, and Engineer has approved, an
acceptable Breakdown Schedule.
Engineer may require that the approved Breakdown Schedule be revised
based on developments occurring during the provision and performance of the Work. If
Contractor fails to submit a revised Breakdown Schedule that is acceptable to Engineer,
Owner shall have the right either to suspend Progress and Final Payments for lump sum
Work or to make such Payments based on Engineer’s determination of the value of the
Work completed.
2. Unit Price Items. For all Work to be paid on a Unit Price basis,
the value of such Work shall be determined by Engineer on the basis of the actual number
of acceptable units of Unit Price Items installed and complete in place, multiplied by the
applicable unit price set forth in the Schedule of Prices. The actual number of acceptable
units installed and complete in place shall be measured on the basis defined in the
Contract Drawings and Specifications or, in the absence of such definition, on the basis
determined by Engineer. For lump sum Unit Prices, Contractor shall submit, as and when
required pursuant to Paragraph 5.1C1 above, a Breakdown Schedule for such lump sum
Unit Price Items.
The number of units of Unit Price Items stated in the Schedule of Prices are
Engineer’s estimate only and shall not be used in establishing the Progress and Final
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-35-
Payments due Contractor. The Contract Price shall be adjusted, by a Balancing Change
Order, to reflect the actual number of acceptable units of Unit Price Items installed and
complete in place upon Final Acceptance.
D. Date of Payment. Contractor shall be paid no later than 45 Days
following Owner’s approval of each Pay Request, and the amount of the Progress
Payment requested, at a meeting of Owner’s governing body. Owner shall have no
obligation to approve any Pay Request that is not in full compliance with the requirements
of this Contract.
5.2 Final Acceptance and Final Payment
A. Notice of Completion. When the Work has been completed and is
ready in all respects for acceptance by Owner, Contractor shall notify Engineer, with a
copy to Owner, and request a final inspection (“Notice of Completion”). Contractor’s
Notice of Completion shall be given sufficiently in advance of the Completion Date to
allow for scheduling of the final inspection and for completion or correction before the
Completion Date of any items identified by such inspection as being defective, damaged,
flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming, incomplete, or otherwise not in full compliance with
the requirements of this Contract (“Punch List Work”). Before giving its Notice of
Completion, Contractor shall satisfy itself that the whole Work, and every part thereof,
has been completed in full compliance with, and as required by or pursuant to, this
Contract, that all defects, damage, flaws, and non-conformities have been corrected, and
that the Work Site and adjacent areas are fully restored, clean, and in good order.
B. Punch List and Final Acceptance. The Work shall be finally accepted
when, and only when, the whole and all parts thereof shall have been completed to the
satisfaction of Owner in full compliance with, and as required by or pursuant to, this
Contract and the Work Site and adjacent areas shall have been fully restored, cleaned,
and placed in good order and in at least the same condition as immediately prior to
commencement of the Work. Upon receipt of Contractor’s Notice of Completion and at a
time mutually agreeable to Owner, Engineer, and Contractor, Engineer shall make a
review of the Work and shall either notify Contractor in writing of all Punch List Work, if
any, to be completed or corrected (“Punch List”) and of the time, not later than the
Completion Date, by which Contractor shall complete or correct all Punch List Work or, if
the Work is complete in full compliance with, and as required by or pursuant to, this
Contract and the Work Site and adjacent areas are fully restored, clean, and in good order
and in at least the same condition as immediately prior to commencement of the Work,
prepare and deliver to Owner a written recommendation that the Work be finally accepted.
Following Contractor’s completion or correction of all Punch List Work, Engineer shall
make another review of the Work and shall either prepare and deliver to Contractor
another Punch List or, if the Work is complete in full compliance with, and as required by
or pursuant to, this Contract and the Work Site and adjacent areas are fully restored,
clean, and in good order and in at least the same condition as immediately prior to
commencement of the Work, prepare and deliver to Owner a written recommendation
that the Work be finally accepted.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-36-
The failure of Engineer to list any item on a Punch List shall not relieve
Contractor of its obligation to provide, perform and complete the Work in full compliance
with, and as required by or pursuant to, this Contract.
Whenever any permit, license, site agreement, or other approval or
authorization that may be required in connection with the Work requires that the Work
within public or private property not owned by Owner be installed, and the property
restored, to a condition satisfactory to such approving or authorizing Person, Contractor
shall be responsible for obtaining a written acknowledgment of the acceptance of such
Person in form satisfactory to Owner. Acceptance of any such acknowledgment by
Owner shall be a precondition to Owner’s final acceptance of the Work and shall not
relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under this Contract to provide additional or
other acknowledgments.
In the event more than two inspections and Punch Lists are required before
Engineer is prepared to deliver to Owner its written recommendation that the Work be
finally accepted, Contractor shall be charged the total cost incurred by Engineer for all
subsequent inspections and the preparation of such additional Punch Lists. If the amount
due Contractor is not sufficient to cover such costs, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for
such costs upon demand.
Upon being satisfied that the Work and Work Site are ready for final
acceptance pursuant to the requirements of this Contract, Owner shall issue its written
notice of final acceptance of the Work to Contractor (“Final Acceptance”).
C. Final Payment. As soon as practicable, but not more than 60 Days,
after Final Acceptance, Contractor shall submit to Engineer four originally executed
copies of a Pay Request requesting Final Payment (“Final Pay Request”) for Engineer’s
review and recommendation of appropriate payment. Owner shall pay to Contractor the
balance of the Contract Price, as determined by Engineer, after deducting therefrom all
charges against Contractor as provided for in this Contract and all amounts, if any, to be
retained under the Special Conditions of Contract (“Final Payment”). Final Payment shall
be made not later than 15 Days after the expiration of the time within which claims for
labor performed or equipment, materials, or supplies provided must be filed under any
applicable Law pertaining to Liens, or the expiration of 30 Days after Owner approves the
Final Pay Request, whichever is later; provided, however, that Owner shall not be
obligated to make Final Payment unless and until Contractor has submitted and has
caused its Subcontractors and Suppliers to submit all required data and documentation
to Owner and all such data and documentation is complete and in proper form.
5.3 Title to Work and Liens
A. Title. Nothing in this Contract shall be construed as vesting in
Contractor any right of property in any equipment, materials, supplies and other items
provided under this Contract after they have been installed in, incorporated into, attached
to, or affixed to, the Work or the Work Site. All such equipment, materials, supplies and
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-37-
other items shall, upon being so installed, incorporated, attached or affixed, become the
property of Owner, but such title shall not release Contractor from its duty to insure and
protect the Work in accordance with the requirements of this Contract.
B. Waivers of Lien. Contractor shall, from time to time, at Owner’s
request and in any event prior to Final Payment, furnish to Owner such receipts, releases,
affidavits, certificates, and other evidence as may be necessary to establish, to the
reasonable satisfaction of Owner, that no liens against the Work or the public funds held
by Owner exist in favor of any Person whatsoever for or by reason of any equipment,
material, supplies, or other item furnished, labor performed, or other thing done in
connection with the Work or this Contract (“Lien”) and that no right to file any Lien exists
in favor of any Person whatsoever.
C. Removal of Liens. If at any time any notice of any Lien is filed for or
by reason of any equipment, materials, supplies, or other item furnished, labor performed,
or other thing done in connection with the Work or this Contract, then Contractor shall,
promptly and without charge, discharge, remove, or otherwise dispose of such Lien, or, if
permitted by Owner, furnish a Bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to indemnify
Owner against such Lien. Until such discharge, removal or disposition, or furnishing of
any permitted Bond or other collateral, Owner shall have the right to retain from any
money payable under this Contract an amount that Owner, in its sole judgment, deems
necessary to satisfy such Lien and to pay the costs and expenses, including attorneys’
fees and administrative expenses, of any actions brought in connection therewith or by
reason thereof.
D. Protection of Owner Only. This Section shall not operate to relieve
Contractor’s surety or sureties from any of their obligations under the Bonds, nor shall it
be deemed to vest any right, interest or entitlement in any Subcontractor or Supplier.
Owner’s retention of funds pursuant to this Section shall be deemed solely for the
protection of its own interests pending removal of such Liens by Contractor, and Owner
shall have no obligation to apply such funds to such removal but may, nevertheless, do
so where Owner’s interests would thereby be served.
5.4 Deductions
A. Owner’s Right to Withhold. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Contract and without prejudice to any of Owner’s other rights or remedies, Owner
shall have the right at any time or times, whether before or after approval of any Pay
Request, to deduct and withhold from any Progress or Final Payment that may be or
become due under this Contract such amount as may reasonably appear necessary to
compensate Owner for any actual or prospective loss due to: (1) Work that is defective,
damaged, flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming, or incomplete; (2) damage for which
Contractor is liable under this Contract; (3) state or local sales, use, or excise taxes from
which Owner is exempt; (4) Liens or claims of Lien regardless of merit; (5) claims of
Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other Persons regardless of merit; (6) delay in the progress
or completion of the Work; (7) inability of Contractor to complete the Work; (8) reasonable
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-38-
doubt that this Contract can be completed for the balance of the Contract Price then
unpaid; (9) reasonable doubt that the balance of the Contract Price then unpaid is not
adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages, if any; (10) failure of Contractor to
properly complete or document any Pay Request; (11) any other failure of Contractor to
perform any of its obligations under this Contract; (12) the cost to Owner, including
attorneys’ fees and administrative expenses, of correcting any of the aforesaid matters or
exercising any one or more of Owner’s remedies set forth in Section 6.6 of these General
Conditions of Contract; or (13) engineering and inspection charges imposed pursuant to
Subsection 1.3F, Section 1.13, or Subsection 5.2B of these General Conditions of
Contract.
B. Use of Withheld Funds. Owner shall be entitled to retain any and all
amounts withheld pursuant to Subsection 5.4A above until Contractor shall have either
performed the obligation or obligations in question or furnished security for such
performance satisfactory to Owner. Owner shall be entitled to apply any money withheld
or any other money due Contractor under this Contract to reimburse itself for any and all
costs, expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, suits, judgments, awards, attorneys’ fees,
and administrative expenses incurred, suffered, or sustained by Owner and chargeable
to Contractor under this Contract.
5.5 Application of Payments
All Progress and Final Payments made by Owner to Contractor shall be
applied to the payment or reimbursement of the costs with respect to which they were
paid and not to any preexisting or unrelated debt between Contractor and Owner or
between Contractor and any other Person.
5.6 Work Entire
This Contract and the Work are entire and the Work as a whole is of the
essence of this Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, each and
every part of this Contract and of the Work are interdependent and common to one
another and to Owner’s obligation to pay all or any part of the Contract Price or any other
consideration for the Work. Any and all Progress Payments made pursuant to this Article
are provided merely for the convenience of Contractor and for no other purpose.
ARTICLE VI
DISPUTES AND REMEDIES
6.1 Notice of Dispute
If Contractor disputes or objects to any requirement, direction, instruction,
interpretation, determination, or decision of Owner or Engineer (“Disputed Decision”),
Contractor may, immediately upon receiving any such Disputed Decision, notify Engineer
in writing, with a copy to Owner, of its dispute or objection and of the amount of any
equitable adjustment to the Contract Price or Contract Time to which Contractor claims it
will be entitled as a result thereof (“Notice of Dispute”); provided, however, that Contractor
GENERAL CONDITIONS
-39-
shall, nevertheless proceed without delay to perform the Work as required, directed,
instructed, interpreted, determined, or decided by Owner or Engineer without regard to
such dispute or objection and such Notice of Dispute. Unless Contractor so notifies
Engineer not later than two business days after receipt of such Disputed Decision, and,
whenever feasible, prior to taking any action based upon such Disputed Decision,
Contractor shall be conclusively deemed (1) to have agreed to and accepted such
Disputed Decision as being fair, reasonable, and finally determinative of Contractor’s
obligations and rights under this Contract; (2) to have waived all grounds for dispute of or
objection to such Disputed Decision; and (3) to have waived all claims for damages and
equitable adjustments to the Contract Price and Contract Time based on such Disputed
Decision.
6.2 Negotiation of Disputed Decisions
To avoid and settle without litigation any Disputed Decision, Owner and

GENERAL REMARKS
This report has been prepared in order to aid in the evaluation of this property and to assist the
architect and/or engineer in the design of this project. The scope is limited to the specific
project and location described herein, and our description of the project represents our
understanding of the significant aspects relevant to soil and foundation characteristics. In the
event that any changes in the design or location of the building(s) as outlined in this report are
planned, we should be informed so the changes can be reviewed and the conclusions of this
report modified as necessary in writing by the geotechnical engineer. As a check, we
recommend that we be authorized to review the project plans and specifications to confirm that
the recommendations contained in this report have been interpreted in accordance with our
intent. Without this review, we will not be responsible for misinterpretation of our data, our
analysis, and/or our recommendations, nor how these are incorporated into the final design.
It is recommended that all construction operations dealing with earthwork and foundations be
reviewed by an experienced geotechnical engineer to provide information on which to base a
decision whether the design requirements are fulfilled in the actual construction. If you wish,
we would welcome the opportunity to provide field construction services for you during
construction.
The analysis and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the soil borings performed at the locations indicated on the location diagram and from any
other information discussed in this report. This report does not reflect any variations which
may occur between these borings. In the performance of subsurface explorations, specific
information is obtained at specific locations at specific times. However, it is a well-known fact
that variations in soil and rock conditions exist on most sites between boring locations and also
such situations as groundwater levels vary from time to time. The nature and extent of
variations may not become evident until the course of construction. If variations then appear
evident, it will be necessary for re-evaluation of the recommendations of this report after
performing on-site observations during the construction period and noting the characteristics of
any variations.
