(a) The lowest bid shall be the lowest bid price on the base contract without considera-tion of the prices on the additive or deductive items.

(c) The lowest bid shall be the lowest total of the bid prices on the base contract and those additive or deductive items taken in order from a specifically identified list of those items that, when in the solicitation, and added to, or subtracted from, the base contract, are less than, or equal to, a funding amount publicly disclosed by the County before the first bid is opened.

(d) The lowest bid shall be determined in a manner that prevents any information that would identify any of the bidders or the proposed Subcontractors or suppliers from being revealed to the public entity before the ranking of all bidders from lowest to highest has been determined.

If no method is checked, sub-paragraph (a) shall be used to determine the lowest bid.

Notwithstanding the method used by the County to determine the lowest responsible bidder, the County retains the right to add to or deduct from the contract any of the additive or deductive items included in the bid solicitation.

d. Power and consumable supplies for the operation of power equipment;

e. Insurance;

f. Social Security and old age and employment contribution.

B. To the cost under (2) and (3), there may be added a fixed fee to be agreed upon but not to exceed fif-teen percent (15%) for the estimated cost of the work. The fee shall be compensation to cover the cost of administrative overhead, and profit.

C. On changes which involve a credit to the County, no allowances for overhead need be figured.



D. All such change orders and adjustments shall be in writing. Claims by Contractor for extra cost shall be made in writing before executing the work involved.

E. All change orders shall be reviewed and approved by the County. 21. COUNTY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE CONTRACT

If the Contractor should refuse or neglect to properly perform or prosecute the work or if he should substantially violate any provision of the Contract, then the County may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy upon seven (7) days written notice to the Contractor, terminate the services of the Contractor and take possession of the premises, and all materials, tools, and equipment thereon and complete the work. The expense thereof shall be deducted from the balance otherwise due the Contractor. If such expense should exceed such unpaid balance, then the Contractor shall pay the difference to the County.

22. CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT TO STOP WORK OR TERMINATE CONTRACT

If the work is stopped for a period of thirty (30) days under an order of any court or other public authority hav-ing jurisdiction, or as a result of an act of government, such as a declaration of a national emergency making ma-terials unavailable, through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing any of the work under a contract with the Contractor, or if the work should be stopped for a period of thirty (30) days by the Contractor because no certificate for payment has issued as pro-vided in Paragraph 25 or because the County has not made payment thereon as provided in Paragraph 25, then the Contractor may, upon seven (7) additional days' written notice to the County, terminate the Contract and re-cover from the County payment for all work executed and for any proven loss sustained upon any materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable profit and damages.

23. TIME OF COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

A. In case all the work called for under the Contract is not completed before or upon the expiration of the time

limit as set forth in these specifications, damage will be sustained by the County, and it is impracticable to determine the actual damage which the County will sustain in the event of and by reason of such delay. It is therefore agreed that the Contractor will pay to the County the sum of money per calendar day for each day's delay beyond the time prescribed as required in the document entitled "Instructions to Bidders", which is a part of these Contract Documents. The Contractor agrees to pay such liquidated damages as herein provided, and in case the same are not paid, agrees that the County may deduct the amount thereof from any money due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract.

B. In case the work called for under the Contract is not finished and completed in all parts and requirements

within the time specified, the County shall have the right to extend the time for completion or not, as may best serve the interest of the County. If the County decides to extend the time limit for the completion of the Contract, the County shall further have the right to charge the Contractor, his heirs, assigns or sureties, and to deduct from the final payment for the work, all or any part, as it may deem proper, of the actual cost of County, including inspections, superintendence, and other overhead expenses directly chargeable to the Contract, and which accrue during the period of such extension. The cost of final inspections shall not be included in such charges.

C. The Contractor shall not be assessed with liquidated damages nor the cost of County's services and inspec-

tion during any delay in the completion of the work caused by acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the County, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, shortages of materials, labor, fixtures or equipment (provided the Contractor furnishes satisfactory and acceptable proof that he has made diligent attempts to obtain same) and unusually severe weather or delays of subcontractors



due to such causes, provided the Contractor shall within ten (10) days from the beginning of such delay no-tify the County in writing of the delay. County's findings of fact thereon shall be final and conclusive.

D. The County agrees that changes in work ordered pursuant to Paragraph 20 and extensions of completion

time made necessary by reasons thereof, shall in no way release any guarantee given by the Contractor or the Contract let hereunder, nor shall such changes in the work relieve or release the sureties on bonds exe-cuted pursuant to these specifications. Sureties shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any change in the work and to any extension of time made by reason thereof.

24. ACCEPTANCE

A. The Contract will be accepted as completed only when the whole and entire Contract shall have been com-

pleted satisfactorily to the County. In judging the work, no allowance for deviations from the original plans and specifications will be made unless already approved in writing at proper times and in a manner as called for herein.

B. Should it become necessary to occupy a portion of the work before the Contract is fully completed, such

occupancy shall not constitute acceptance. 25. PARTIAL PAYMENTS

On the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to the County an application for pay-ment, on a form acceptable to the COUNTY, showing an itemized statement for work that has been performed on a percent complete basis.

Contractor shall submit certified copy of payroll showing payment of Davis-Bacon Act wages with each request for payment submitted.

26. FINAL PAYMENT

Upon completion of the Contract, the County will cause to be made a final estimate of the amount of work done, and the value of such work. After approval by the County representative, the County shall pay the remainder due on the contract (with the exception of retainage) after deducting there from, all previous payments. All amounts retained (retainage) under the provisions of the Contract shall be due and payable 30 days from the date of acceptance in writing of the completion of Contract and / or Notice of Completion issued by the County rep-resentative. All prior partial estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the final estimate and pay-ments. Payment and the final estimate is due within thirty-five (35) days from the recorded date of the Notice of Completion, provided all as-built drawings, equipment manuals, instructions to the owner and guarantees have been received and accepted by the County.

27. PAYMENT WITHHELD

The County may withhold or, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or part of any certificates to such extent as may be necessary to protect the County from (1) defective work not remedied, (2) asserted claims against Contractor, (3) failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to employees or for material or labor, (4) any reasonable doubt that the Contract work can be completed for the balance then un-paid, or (5) damage to another contractor.

28. FAULTY WORK AND MATERIALS



The Contractor shall promptly remove from the premises all materials condemned by the County as failing to conform to the Contract, whether incorporated in the work or not. The Contractor shall promptly replace and re-execute his own work in accordance with the Contract and without expense to the County. The Contractor shall bear the expense of making good all work of other contractors destroyed or damaged by such removal.

If the Contractor does not remove such condemned work and materials within reasonable time, fixed by written notice, the County may remove them and may store the materials at the expense of the Contractor. If the Con-tractor does not pay the expenses of such removal within ten (10) days thereafter, the County may upon ten (10) days written notice, sell such materials at auction or at private sales and shall account for the net proceeds there-of after deducting all costs and expenses that should have been borne by the Contractor.

29. TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF WORK

The County shall have the authority to suspend the work wholly or in part, for such period as it may deem nec-essary, due to unsuitable weather or to such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the suitable pro-gression of the work, or for such time as it may deem necessary due to the failure of the Contractor to carry out orders given by County, or to perform any provision of the Contract. The Contractor shall immediately obey such order of the County and shall not resume work until ordered in writing by the County.

30. SAMPLES

When requested, the Contractor shall submit for the County's review samples of the various materials, together with the finish thereof, as specified for and intended for use in the work. Samples of bulk materials shall be se-lected by the lab. All materials and workmanship shall in all respects be equal to the samples so submitted and reviewed. Samples shall be sent or delivered to the County, samples and delivery charges paid by Contractor. Samples will be returned to the Contractor if requested, shipping or delivery charges collect.

32. OBSTRUCTIONS

The Contractor may be required to work around public utility facilities and other improvements which are to remain in place within the construction area. The Contractor shall be held liable to the owners of such facilities and improvements for any damage or interference with service resulting from the Contractor's operation.

The exact location of underground facilities and improvements within the construction area, whether shown on the drawings or not, shall be ascertained by the Contractor before using equipment that may damage such facili-ties or interfere with their service.

33. SUPERINTENDENT IN CHARGE

The Contractor shall keep on the work at all times and until the acceptance certificate is issued a competent su-perintendent or foreman for the purpose of receiving and executing without delay any orders from County in keeping with the terms of the Contract.

35. GENERAL GUARANTY

Neither the final payment nor any partial payment, nor partial or entire use of the premises by occupancy by the County shall constitute an acceptance of the work not completed in accordance with the Contract. Final Pay-ment or partial payment or partial or entire use of the premises by occupancy shall not relieve the Contractor of liability with respect to any warranties or responsibilities for faulty materials or workmanship. The Contractor shall remedy any defect in the work and pay for any damage to other work resulting therefrom which shall ap-pear within a period of one (1) year from the date of final acceptance of the work, unless a longer period is speci-fied elsewhere in these specifications. The County shall notify the Contractor of observed defects with reasona-ble promptness.

36. MATERIALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

A. Specific reference to materials, appliances, fixtures and equipment by trade name is intended to be used as

standard, but this implies no right on the part of the Contractor to use other materials, fixtures, appliances, equipment, until review by the County.

B. The County alone shall determine what will be considered as equal, but the burden of proof as to quality,

utility and function, etc. shall be upon the Contractor.

If the Contractor desires to substitute any item, he shall in writing state the cost of such item and the orig-inal item named in the specifications if requested and shall submit a substitution warranty in the format shown in the specifications.

C. As soon as practicable and within twenty (20) days after official award of Contract and before any fix-

tures, materials or equipment are purchased, the Contractor shall submit to the County a complete list of materials, fixtures and equipment giving the manufacturers' names, catalog numbers, etc., and, when re-quested, the original and substitute item of each article which he proposes to install as a substitution.

D. Requests for substitution will not be considered after the above period of time unless the item specified is

not obtainable or, in the opinion of the County, such substitution would serve the County's interest. 37. CONSTRUCTION, MATERIAL AND LABOR COST SCHEDULES

A. The successful Contractor shall submit the following schedules to the County within ten (10) days after

commencing the work:

1. A construction schedule indicating the start and finish of each phase of the work.

2. A detailed statement of the cost of material and labor included in the original estimate for each phase of the work so arranged that the value of the work as it progresses may be readily de-termined.



38. CONFERENCES

At any time during the progress of the work, the County may request the Contractor to attend a conference of any or all of the Contractors engaged on the work, and any notice of such conference shall be duly observed and complied with by the Contractor.

39. INSPECTION AND PAYMENTS - NOT ACCEPTABLE

The fact that the work and materials have been inspected by the County of Mendocino and payments on account have been made does not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of replacing and making good any defec-tive work or materials that may be discovered within one (1) year from the date of the completion of the work by the Contractor and its acceptance by the County. [Five (5) years for roof.]

40. RETURN OF DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS
