19. TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS (APPENDIX H)

New York State Tax Law Section 5-a became effective January 1, 2005. It applies to contracts where (1) the total amount of Contractor’s or Vendor’s sales delivered into New York State are in excess of $300,000 for the four quarterly periods immediately preceding the quarterly period in which the certification is made, and with respect to any affiliates, subcontractors, or affiliates of subcontractors whose sales delivered into New York State exceeded $300,000 for the four quarterly periods immediately preceding the quarterly period in which the certification is made, and (2) the contracts or agreements with state agencies or public authorities for the sale of commodities or services have a value in excess of $15,000. This law imposes upon Contractors and Vendors the obligation to certify whether or not the contractor, its affiliates, its subcontractors and affiliates of the subcontractors are required to register to collect state sales and compensating use tax. Where required to register, the contractor must also certify that it is, in fact, registered


with the Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF). The law prohibits the Comptroller, or other approving agency, from approving a contract awarded to a vendor meeting the registration requirements, but who is not so registered in accordance with the law.

Contractor certification forms and instructions for completing the forms can be found at the website address below. Proposed contractors should complete and return the certification forms within two business days of request prior to any contract award. Failure to respond timely may render a bidder non-responsive and non-responsible. Bidders shall take the necessary steps to provide properly certified forms, within a timely manner to ensure compliance with the law. In addition, if the contractor fails to make the certification required by New York Tax Law Section 5-a, or if, during the term of the contract, the approving agency discovers that such certification was false when made, then such failure or false certification shall be a material breach of the contract, and the contract shall be subject to termination if the approving agency determines that such action is in the best interests of such agency.

Vendors may call the Tax Department at 1-800-972-1233 for any and all questions relating to Tax Law Section 5-a and relating to a company’s registration status with the Tax Department. For additional information and frequently asked questions, please refer to the Department of Tax and Finance web-site: http://www.nystax.gov/sbc/nys_contractors.htm.

1006, the Contractor shall, upon written notice from the Authority, produce at the Authority's

ARTICLE 12. UNCONTROLLABLE FORCES

a) The Contractor shall not be liable for loss or damage due to delay in completion resulting from uncontrollable forces, the term uncontrollable forces being deemed for the purpose of this Contract to mean any cause beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor, including but not limited to, flood, earthquake, storm, lightning, fire, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance, sabotage or restraint by court or public authority, which by exercise of due diligence and foresight, the Contractor could not reasonably have been expected to avoid.

THE AMOUNT OF TIME REASONABLY NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE WORK SHALL EXTEND COMPLETION DATES CORRESPONDINGLY, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE AUTHORITY, WHICH EXTENSION SHALL BE THE CONTRACTOR'S SOLE REMEDY. Demonstrations, protests, labor walk-offs or slow downs, acts of vandalism, minor thefts, minor fires and normally occurring seasonal climatic variations such as but not limited to rain, freezing, thawing, or snowfall, shall not be considered uncontrollable forces.

ARTICLE 13. NO DAMAGES FOR DELAY

b) Should the Contractor sustain any damage through any act or omission of any other contractor

having a contract with the Authority for the performance of work upon the site or of work which may be necessary to be performed hereunder, or through any act or omission of a subcontractor of such contractor, the Contractor shall have no claim against the Authority for such damage, but shall have a right to recover such damage from the other contractor under the provision similar to the following provision which has been or will be inserted in the contracts with such other contractors.

c) Should any other contractor having or who shall hereafter have a contract with the Authority

for the performance of work upon the site sustain any damage through any act or omissions of the Contractor hereunder or through any act or omission of any subcontractor of the Contractor, the Contractor agrees to reimburse such other contractor for all such damages and to indemnify and hold the Authority harmless from all such claims.

ARTICLE 14. INTERRUPTION OF CONTRACT PERFORMANCE a) SUSPENSION OF WORK

The Authority at any time and with or without cause may suspend the whole or any portion of the Work under this Contract, including delivery of materials or performance of services, but this right to suspend work or delivery of materials or performance of services shall not be construed as denying the Contractor actual, reasonable and necessary expenses due to such suspension without cause. Any claims for such expenses are subject to the provisions of the Article of the AGREEMENT entitled "Disputes - Claims."

b) RIGHT TO STOP WORK OR CANCEL CONTRACT

i) It is further mutually agreed that if at any time during the prosecution of the work, the Authority determines that the Work under the Contract is not being performed according to the Contract, or for the best interests of the Authority, the Authority may elect either of two alternatives, (1) terminate the Contractor's employment under the Contract while it is in progress, and in accordance with Paragraph C, "Termination" of this Article, and thereupon complete the work, at the expense of the Contractor, in such a manner as will be in accord with the Contract Documents and be for the best interests of the Authority, or call upon the Surety, at its own expense, to do so, or (2) the Authority may cancel the Contract itself and have the Work completed by contract


with or without public letting, as it may deem advisable, utilizing for such purpose such of the Contractor's plant, materials, equipment, tools and supplies obtained by the Contractor for prosecution of the Work of this Contract and remaining on the site, and also such subcontracts or subcontractors as it may deem advisable.

ii) If the Authority determines to complete the Work under alternative (b) (i) above, it

may apply all monies remaining unpaid under the Contract to such completion and to the satisfaction of any damages by it sustained including but not limited to the liquidated damages herein provided, and the Contractor shall not be entitled, from and after the date of the termination of its employment, to receive any further payment under this Contract until the said work shall be wholly completed and accepted, at which time, if the unpaid balance of the amount to be paid under this Contract (subject to additions and deductions herein provided) shall exceed the damages sustained and the expense incurred by the Authority in finishing the work, such excess shall become due to the Contractor; but, if such expense and damages shall exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor, or on its default, the Surety shall pay the difference to the Authority.

iii) If the Authority determines to cancel the Contract under alternative (b)(ii) above, it

may apply all monies remaining unpaid under this Contract to the payment of the second contractor and to the satisfaction of damages sustained by the Authority, including, but not limited to, the liquidated damages herein provided; and in case such second contract is let at a figure which, together with such damages, exceeds the amount remaining unpaid on this Contract then the Contractor agrees to pay to the Authority, after completion and acceptance of the work, a sum of money which is equal to such excess; and upon its failure to make such payment, the Surety shall do so.

iv) Whenever the Authority determines to act or stop work under any of the foregoing

provisions, a written notice sent by mail to the Contractor and to the Sureties at their respective addresses, shall be sufficient notice of its action in the premises.

c) TERMINATION

i) The performance of work under this Contract may be terminated by the Authority in accordance with this Article in whole, or from time to time in part, whenever the Authority shall determine that such termination is in the best interest of the Authority. Any such termination shall be effected by a written notice of termination sent by mail to the Contractor at its address and to the Sureties at their respective addresses specifying the extent to which performance of work under the Contract is terminated, and the date upon which termination becomes effective.


ii) After receipt of a Notice of Termination and except as otherwise directed by the Authority, the Contractor shall:

1) Stop work under the Contract on the date and to the extent specified in the

Notice of Termination.

2) Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services or facilities except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the Work under the Contract as is not terminated.

3) Terminate all orders and subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the

performance of work terminated by the Notice of Termination.

4) Assign to the Authority, in the manner, at the times and to the extent directed by the Authority, all of the right, title, and interest of the Contractor under the orders and subcontracts so terminated, in which case the Authority shall have the right, at its discretion, to settle or pay any or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders and subcontracts.

5) Settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination

or orders and subcontracts, with the approval or ratification of the Authority, to the extent it may require, which approval or ratification shall be final for the purposes of this Article.

6) Transfer title and deliver to the Authority in the manner, at the times, and to

the extent, if any, directed by the Authority:

(i) The fabricated or un-fabricated parts, work in process, completed work, articles and other material produced as a part of, or acquired in connection with the performance of the Work terminated by the Notice of Termination, and

(i) Shall not be required to extend credit to any purchaser, and


(ii) May acquire any such property under the conditions prescribed by and at a price or prices approved by the Authority; and provided further that the proceeds of any such transfer or disposition shall be applied in reduction of any payments to be made by the Authority to the Contractor under this Contract or shall otherwise be credited to the price or cost of the Work covered by this Contract or paid in such other manner as the Authority may direct;

8) Complete performance of such part of the Work as shall not have been

terminated by the Notice of Termination; and

9) Take such action as may be necessary, or as the Authority may direct, for the protection and preservation of the property related to this Contract which is in the possession of the Contractor and in which the Authority has or may acquire an interest. At any time requested by the Authority, the Contractor shall submit to the Authority a list, certified as to quantity and quality, of any or all items of termination inventory not previously disposed of, exclusive of items the disposition of which has been directed or authorized by the Authority, and may request the Authority to remove such items or enter into a storage agreement covering them. No later than 15 days thereafter, the Authority will accept title to such items and remove them or enter into a storage agreement covering the same, provided that the list submitted shall be subject to verification by the Authority upon removal of the items, or if the items are stored, within 45 days from the date of submission of the list, and any necessary adjustment to correct the list as submitted shall be made prior to final settlement.

iii) After receipt of a Notice of Termination, the Contractor shall submit to the Authority

its termination claim, if any, in the form and with the certification prescribed by the Authority. Such claim shall be submitted promptly but in no event later than six months from the effective date of termination. Failure to submit such claim or part thereof within the time limited therefor shall constitute a waiver of the claim or part thereof and the Authority shall stand discharged from all liabilities covered by the claim or part thereof so waived.

iv) The termination claim shall be submitted and, if the termination has occasioned

without cause or default of the Contractor, shall be paid on the following basis:

1) The total of -

(i) The costs incurred in the performance of the Work terminated, including initial costs and preparatory expense allocated thereto, and cost of labor and materials.


(ii) The cost of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of

work under subcontracts or orders, as provided in paragraph (c)(ii)(5) above, which were properly chargeable to the terminated portion of the Contract (exclusive of amounts paid or payable on account of supplies or materials delivered or services furnished by subcontractors or vendors prior to the effective date of the Notice of Termination, which amounts shall be included in the costs payable under (i) above).

(iii) A sum equal to 2 percent of that part of the amount determined under

(i) which represents the cost of articles and materials purchased but not processed by the Contractor, plus a sum equal to 8 percent of the remainder of such amount, but the aggregate of such sums shall not exceed 6 percent of the whole of the amount determined under subdivision (i) above, which amount for the purpose of this subdivision (iii) shall exclude any charges for interest on borrowing: provided, however, that if it appears that the Contractor would have sustained a loss on the Contract had it been completed, nothing shall be included or allowed under this subdivision (iii) and an appropriate adjustment shall be made reducing the amount of the settlement to reflect the indicated rate of loss.

2) The reasonable costs of settlement, including accounting, legal, clerical, and

other expenses reasonably necessary for the preparation of settlement claims and supporting data with respect to the terminated portion of the Contract and for the termination and settlement of subcontracts thereunder, together with reasonable storage, transportation and other costs incurred in connection with the protection or disposition of property allocable to this Contract.

The total sum to be paid to the Contractor under (1) of this subparagraph (c) (iv) shall not exceed the total contract price as reduced by the amount of payments otherwise made and as further reduced by the contract price of work not terminated. Except for normal spoilage, and except to the extent that the Authority shall have otherwise expressly assumed the risk of loss, there shall be excluded from the amounts payable to the Contractor as provided in subparagraph (c)(1)(i) the fair value, as determined by the Authority, of property which is destroyed, lost, stolen, or damaged so as to become undeliverable to the Authority, or to a buyer pursuant to subparagraph (c)(ii)(7).

v) For any determination of costs hereunder the Authority shall have access to all

payrolls, records of personnel, invoices of materials, records of plant and equipment and any and all other data relevant to the performance of the Contract or necessary to


determine its costs. The Contractor shall also institute and maintain separate daily records of all labor, material and equipment used in connection with the Work and the cost thereof as directed by the Authority for work done subsequent to the date of receipt by the Contractor of a Notice of Termination. The Contractor shall furnish all assistance of whatever nature required by the Authority to formulate its opinion of a reasonable cost settlement.

vi) In arriving at the amount due the Contractor hereunder, there shall be deducted:

1) All unliquidated advances or other unliquidated payments on account

theretofore made to the Contractor.

2) Any claim which the Authority may have against the Contractor in connection with this Contract, and

3) The agreed price for, or the proceeds of sale of, any materials, supplies or other

things acquired by the Contractor or sold pursuant to the provisions of this Article, and not otherwise recovered by or credited to the Authority.

vii) The Authority may from time to time, under such terms and conditions as it may

prescribe, make partial payments and payments on account against costs incurred by the Contractor in connection with the terminated portion of this Contract whenever in the opinion of the Authority the aggregate of such payments shall be within the amount to which the Contractor will be entitled hereunder. If the total of such payments is in excess of the amount determined to be due hereunder, such excess shall be payable by the Contractor to the Authority upon demand, together with interest computed at the rate of 6 percent per annum, for the period from the date such excess payment is received by the Contractor to the date on which such excess is repaid to the Authority, provided, however, that no interest shall be charged with respect to any such excess payment attributable to a reduction in the Contractor's claim by reason of retention or other disposition of termination inventory until ten days after the date of such retention or disposition.

viii) The Contractor, from the effective date of termination and for a period of six years

after final settlement under this Contract, shall preserve and make available to the Authority at all reasonable times at the office of the Contractor but without charge to the Authority; all its books, records, documents, and other evidence bearing on the costs and expenses of the Contractor under this Contract and relating to the Work terminated hereunder, or, to the extent approved by the Authority, photographs, microphotographs, or other authentic reproductions thereof.

d) RIGHTS OR REMEDIES NOT PRECLUDED OR DENIED


Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in the Contract Documents shall be deemed or construed to preclude or deny to the Authority to any extent whatsoever any rights or remedies, or the exercise thereof, otherwise available to it by law on account of the Contractor's default or any failure on the part of the Contractor to perform in accordance with the Contract Documents.

ARTICLE 15. PARTIAL PAYMENTS

a) Unless otherwise provided herein, as the Work progresses partial payments will be made as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar month, or at more frequent intervals as determined by the Authority, on estimates prepared by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer and the Authority.

b) i) Payment by Authority to Contractors:

1) The Contractor shall, in accordance with terms set forth in the Contract,

submit to the Authority and its Engineer, a requisition for a progress payment for the Work performed and/or materials furnished to the date on the requisition less any amount previously paid to the Contractor. The Authority shall in accordance with the terms of the Contract approve and promptly pay the requisition for the progress payment less an amount necessary to satisfy any claims, liens or judgments against the Contractor which have not been suitably discharged and less any retained amount as hereafter described. The Authority shall retain not more than 5% of each progress payment to the Contractor except that the Authority may retain in excess of 5%, but not more than 10%, of each progress payment to the Contractor if there are no requirements by the Authority for the Contractor to provide a performance bond and a labor and material bond both in the full amount of the Contract.

2) Referencing Agreement Article A-20 entitled “No Payment of Contractor’s

Estimate on Non-Compliance,” and General Conditions Paragraph GC-45 entitled “Rates of Wages and Supplements,” Contractor invoices must be accompanied with a transcript of the original payrolls subscribed and affirmed as true under penalty of perjury.

3) The Authority shall pay, upon requisition from the Contractor, for materials

pertinent to the Work which have been delivered to the site or off-site by the Contractor and/or Subcontractor and suitably stored and secured as required by the Authority and the Contractor, provided the Authority may limit such payment to materials in short and/or critical supply and materials specially fabricated for the Work each as defined in the Contract. When the Work or major portions thereof as contemplated by terms of the Contract are


substantially completed, the Contractor shall submit to the Authority and/or its agent a requisition for payment of the remaining amount of the Contract balance. Upon receipt of such requisition, the Authority shall approve and promptly pay the remaining amount of the Contract balance less two times the value of any remaining items to be completed and an amount necessary to satisfy any claims, liens or judgment against the Contractor which have not been suitably discharged. As the remaining items of Work are satisfactorily completed or corrected, the Authority shall promptly pay, upon receipt of a requisition, for these items less an amount necessary to satisfy any claims, liens or judgments against the Contractor which have not been suitably discharged. Any claims, liens and judgments referred to in this section shall pertain to the Work and shall be filed in accordance with the terms of the applicable Contract and/or applicable laws.

ii) Payments by Contractors to Subcontractors:

1) Within fifteen calendar days of the receipt of any payment from the Authority,

the Contractor shall pay each of its subcontractors and material suppliers the proceeds from the payment representing the value of the Work performed and/or materials furnished by the subcontractor and/or material suppliers as reflected in the payment from the Authority, less an amount necessary to satisfy any claims, liens or judgments against the subcontractor or material supplier which have not been suitably discharged and less any retained amount as hereafter described. The Contractor shall retain not more than five percent of each payment to the subcontractor and/or material supplier except that the Contractor may retain in excess of five percent, but not more than ten percent, of each payment to the subcontractor provided that prior to entering into a subcontract with the Contractor, the subcontractor is unable or unwilling to provide a performance bond and a labor and material bond, both in the full amount of the subcontract, at the request of the Contractor. However, the Contractor shall retain nothing from those payments representing proceeds owed the subcontractor and/or material supplier from the Authority's payments to the Contractor for the remaining amounts of the contract balance as provided in the above subparagraphs. Within fifteen calendar days of the receipt of payment from the Contractor, the subcontractor and/or material suppliers shall pay each of its subcontractors and material suppliers in the same manner as the Contractor has paid the subcontractor. Nothing provided herein shall create any obligation on the part of the Authority to pay or to see to the payment of any monies to any subcontractor or material supplier from any Contractor nor shall anything provided herein serve to create any relationship in contract or otherwise, implied or expressed, between the subcontractor or material supplier and the Authority.


2) In the event that the terms of payment provided in this Article are pre-empted or superseded as a result of the provision of any federal statute, regulation or rule applicable to the project to which this Contract pertains, the terms of this Article shall not apply.

c) All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the sole

property of the Authority, but this provision shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from the sole responsibility for all materials and work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any damaged work or as a waiver of the right of the Authority to require the fulfillment of all of the terms of the Contract.

d) No payment shall be made to a foreign contractor unless such contractor shall furnish

satisfactory proof that all taxes due by such contractor under the provisions of Articles 9, 9-A, 22 and 23 of the tax law have been paid. The certificate of the New York State Tax Commission to the effect that all such taxes have been paid shall be conclusive proof of the payment of such taxes. The term "foreign contractor" as used herein means, in the case of an individual, a person who is not a resident of the State of New York; in the case of a partnership, one having one or more partners not a resident of the State; and in the case of a Corporation, one not organized under the laws of the State of New York.

e) No monthly estimate will be processed or accepted for processing unless the value of the

Work done equals five (5) percent of the contract amount or $10,000.00, whichever is the lesser.

f) On the faithful performance of the Work of the Contract and its acceptance by the Authority,

the Authority hereby agrees to make partial payments to the Contractor upon receipt, review and approval by the Engineer, and approval by the Authority of such estimates, on forms prescribed by the Authority, prepared in accordance with the Article of this AGREEMENT entitled "Estimates," properly verified and certified by the Engineer as a true and complete summary of the value of work completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract, said partial payments to be in the amount of the estimate less the retained percentage and any other deductions provided by the Contract.

ARTICLE 16. ESTIMATES

a) The Contractor shall prepare all estimates of partial payments for work performed, together with supporting data and computations as are deemed necessary by the Engineer to determine the accuracy of the estimate. The summary of estimates shall be submitted on the form prescribed by the Engineer. Failure of the Contractor to submit estimates of partial payments, or lack of accurate supporting data, shall be sufficient reason for withholding payment until such omissions or errors are rectified. When the unit or the lump sum prices for the Work performed include costs for ancillary work such as but not limited to clean-up, curing, site


restoration, backfilling, paint touch-up, re-plumbing and dewatering which is not performed until the major portion of the Work is accomplished, payment for more than 85 percent of the actual obvious quantity of work performed to date will not be approved until the ancillary work associated therewith is fully accomplished.

b) In computing amounts for estimates of work performed, the lump sum or unit prices or other

terms of compensation in the schedule of the Itemized Proposal will be used except as otherwise provided in the Articles of this AGREEMENT entitled "Payments For Materials Delivered On Or Off Site" and "Payments for Lump Sum Price Items."

c) All estimates will be based on actual quantities of work performed and materials in place as

determined by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall make all surveys, take all measurements and do all computations required to present an accurate estimate of work completed and in place and the value thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Contract. Unless otherwise directed, this estimate in reproducible form, signed and certified as correct by the Contractor, shall be delivered by the Contractor to the Engineer once each month showing the total quantities completed and in place on the last day of the preceding month and the value thereof.

d) The Contractor's certificate on all estimates shall be as follows:

"I certify that this payment estimate is correct and just and that payment thereof has not been received. I further certify that the Contractor has complied with the provisions of Articles 9, 9-A, 22 and 23 of the Tax Law of the State of New York. I further certify that all bills for labor and/or materials used incurred by Contractor and its subcontractors, in connection with this contract work have been paid or will be paid in accordance with Article 15 b) of this Contract."

ARTICLE 17. PAYMENTS FOR MATERIALS DELIVERED ON OR OFF SITE a) Unless otherwise specified, partial payments shall include a payment for material or

equipment as described hereinafter to be furnished and installed under this Contract, after such material or equipment has been delivered and accepted at the site of the Work or, at the Authority's option, to a storage location subject to the requirements of subparagraph (d) of this Article. This payment shall be limited to those items designated for such payment in the Contract Documents. Payment for such material or equipment shall not be subject to the retention provided for in the Article of this AGREEMENT entitled "Partial Payments." The payment shall be limited to actual cost of material or equipment or 50 percent of the applicable unit prices stated in the Itemized Proposal form, whichever is the lesser.

b) Payment shall be based on quantities delivered to the jobsite or to the Contractor's warehouse

but not yet incorporated or installed in components of work or otherwise used by the Contractor at the time of preparing the estimate. Such estimates submitted by the Contractor


shall be accompanied by certificates of the Contractor supported by receipted bills showing that said material or equipment is and will remain free from all encumbrances and an agreement that it will not be removed from the jobsite.

c) Payments under this Article will not be allowed on material or equipment which is acquired

from any firm with which the Contractor is financially connected nor on material or equipment of which the total delivered cost is less than $5,000 or for any materials or equipment for which prepayment is not specifically designated in the Specifications.

d) Material or equipment for which such payment has been received shall be stored until

incorporated into the Work in a location approved by the Engineer and shall be adequately protected from fire, theft and vandalism, the effects of the elements and any other damage whatsoever, and shall at all times be available for inspection by the Engineer. In the event that any of such materials are damaged, lost or stolen prior to their incorporation into the work, the value thereof, as allowed on partial payments or proportionate part thereof, will be deducted from succeeding partial estimates until satisfactory repairs or replacement have been made by the Contractor.

ARTICLE 18. PAYMENTS FOR LUMP SUM PRICE ITEMS

a) Progress payments for work performed will be made to the Contractor for those items bid on a lump sum price basis in accordance with a well-balanced detailed program of payment apportioning to be prepared by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer. Such program for each item shall show estimated quantities and unit prices therefor allocated by the Contractor to different features of work and/or materials required to complete each of such lump sum price items and major subdivisions thereof. It shall also show for the various features of a lump sum item and for the item overall amounts allocated by the Contractor to (1) costs of the various materials to be furnished, (2) direct labor cost and derivative charges, (3) other itemized costs, (4) overhead, (5) insurance, and (6) profit. The summation of extensions of the unit quantities and unit prices and of all such charges for materials, labor, etc. shall total in each case the exact amount to be paid under the Contract as a lump sum price for the item. Such program will be used for computing progress payments as herein detailed, but will not be used to determine the amount of the final payment for the Work of the Contractor except as hereinafter provided in subparagraph b).

b) The Authority and/or the Engineer shall have the right to direct or approve changes in the

portions of the Work to be performed under lump sum price items and to make adjustments in compensation for such changes. All directions or approvals for such changes will be given in writing.

c) An adjustment in compensation for an item to be paid for on a lump sum basis will be made

in accordance with the following: If the direction or approval entails an increase or decrease


in the amount or value of the Work required under the item, the Engineer, at its option and sole discretion will determine an increase or decrease in compensation (a) from the prices, rates or other pricing factors contained in the program for payment-apportioning for the item to the extent that such apply and/or (b) where they do not apply, from the provisions of the Article of this AGREEMENT entitled "Extra Work."

d) If the direction or approval does not entail a change in the amount or value of the Work

required under a lump sum price item it will so state. e) Increases and decreases in compensation for lump sum price items will be added to or

deducted by Change Order from the Gross Sum Bid which would otherwise be payable under the Article of the AGREEMENT entitled "Compensation to be Paid Contractor."

ARTICLE 19. ELIMINATED ITEMS

The Authority may, upon written notice to the Contractor at the time of award of Contract or at any time during the performance of Work, eliminate from the Contract any item or items of the Itemized Proposal, (at the price stated in the Itemized Proposal for such item or items), or any portion of such items, and payment for such eliminated items or portions of item or items will not be included in final payment to the Contractor for the Work of the Contract. Contractor shall have no claim by reason of any such eliminations.

ARTICLE 20. NO PAYMENT OF ESTIMATE ON CONTRACTOR'S NON-COMPLIANCE

The Contractor and each subcontractor shall submit to the Authority, within thirty (30) days after issuance of its first payroll and every thirty (30) days thereafter, a transcript of the original payrolls, subscribed and affirmed as true under penalty of perjury. The filing of the payrolls by the Contractor, with the Authority, as required by Labor Law Section 220, is a condition precedent to payment of any sums due and owing the Contractor for the work. So long as any lawful or proper obligation of the Contractor concerning the Work or material or the performance of the Contract, shall remain uncomplied with, the Contractor shall not be entitled to have any estimate rendered on account of work done or material furnished until such lawful or proper direction aforesaid has been fully and satisfactorily complied with.

ARTICLE 21. NO PAYMENT OF ESTIMATE ON CONTRACTOR'S M/WBE NON-COMPLIANCE

Contractor expressly agrees to comply with M/WBE compliance requirements of this Contract and acknowledges that if it fails to comply and its actions are determined to be willful and intentional


by the Authority, such determination may result in Contractor being liable for liquidated or other damages equal to or exceeding the dollar value of the M/WBE subcontracting goals established for this contract set forth, as a percentage in the “Goals” section of Appendix C entitled “Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Participation Goal Requirement.” The Contractor shall not be entitled to have any payment rendered on account of work done or services performed as long as the Contractor is not in compliance with the M/WBE requirements set forth in the Contract.

ARTICLE 22. QUANTITIES - ESTIMATED, ACTUAL, FINAL; PAYMENT, NO CLAIMS FOR VARIANCES

a) The Contractor hereby agrees that the quantities included in the Itemized Proposal are

approximate only, inserted solely for the purpose of bid evaluation and acknowledges that any estimated quantities, bills of materials, lists, weights, other quantities of materials or structures which have been or may be furnished to the Contractor by the Authority, or the Engineer or shown in the Contract Documents have been or will be prepared with reasonable care but that their accuracy is not guaranteed. It is understood and agreed that such estimated quantities may or may not be accurate in any or all particulars and shall not be considered as final, correct, sufficiently complete or accurately covering any portion or all of the Work to be done under the Contract. It is further understood and agreed that the actual amount of work done and materials furnished under unit price items may differ by substantial amounts from such estimated quantities and that the basis for payment of such work and material shall be the actual quantity of units of items of work and/or materials furnished in each case, for fulfillment of the Contract multiplied by the unit prices bid therefor as full compensation for all such work and/or materials. Upon completion of the required work should the final estimates of quantities show either an increase or decrease from the approximate estimates of quantities provided in the Itemized Proposal, then such variations, without regard to the amount, will be computed at the unit prices bid and a final adjustment will be made adding or deducting this amount from the amount stated under the Article of this AGREEMENT entitled "Compensation to be Paid Contractor."

b) The Contractor agrees that it will make no claim or claims against the Authority, and will not

be entitled to any payment, for, including but not limited to, loss, additional or uncompensated overhead, delay, extensions of time, lost use of equipment, additional equipment, inflation, increases in labor or other costs, loss of anticipated profits, impact on other work, interest cost, or any other form of loss, damage or expense because (i) additional quantities of items are directed to be performed, (ii) work under the various items is directed not to be performed, is reduced, is less than, is increased, or is greater than the estimated quantities in the Itemized Proposal, or (iii) because of a difference between the amounts of work performed or to be performed and any estimated amounts that are included in the Contract Documents or have been or may be furnished to the Contractor by the Authority or the Engineer; or (iv) because of a difference between the quantities of the materials actually delivered or installed and


estimated quantities that are in the Itemized Proposal or have been or may be furnished to the Contractor by the Authority or the Engineer.

ARTICLE 23. FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE WORK

When, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor has fully performed the Work under the Contract, the Engineer will recommend to the Authority the acceptance of the Work so completed. If the Authority accepts the recommendation of the Engineer, it shall thereupon by letter notify the Contractor of such acceptance, and upon Contractor's request copies of such acceptance will be sent to other interested parties.

ARTICLE 24. FINAL ESTIMATE AND FINAL PAYMENT

a) After final acceptance of the Work, the Engineer will prepare a final estimate of the Work performed and will compute the value of such work under and according to the terms of the Contract Documents and upon approval by the Authority will submit such final estimate to the Contractor for execution under the Article of the AGREEMENT entitled "Estimates." All certificates upon which partial payments may have been made, being merely estimates, will be subject to correction in the final estimate. The amount stated in the Article of this AGREEMENT entitled "Compensation to be Paid Contractor" will be modified accordingly.

b) The final estimate will not be completed until all work required under the Contract has been

satisfactorily completed, all claims presented and all accounts for extra work and materials have been rendered, considered, and, if agreed to, made a part of such final estimate.

c) The Authority will approve a voucher for final payment based on the final estimate approved

by the Engineer and executed by the Contractor, less previous payments and any and all deductions authorized to be made by the Authority under the Contract. Payment pursuant to such final voucher shall constitute the final payment.

ARTICLE 25. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT

a) The acceptance by the Contractor, or by anyone claiming by or through it, of the final payment shall constitute and operate as a release to the Authority from any and all claims of any liability for anything theretofore done or furnished for or relating to or arising out of the Work performed under this Contract, and for any prior act, neglect or default on the part of the Authority or any of its officers, agents or employees in connection therewith, excepting such claims as have been accumulated by the Contractor through compliance with the provisions of the Article of this AGREEMENT entitled "Disputes-Claims" for which payment is not included in the said final payment.


b) The Contractor is warned that the execution by it of a release in connection with the

acceptance of the final payment, containing language purporting to reserve claims other than those therein specifically excepted or for claims for amounts deducted by the Authority, shall not be effective to reserve such claims, notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary, orally or in writing by any officer, agent or employee of the Authority.

c) Should the Contractor refuse to accept the final payment as tendered by the Authority, it shall

constitute a waiver of any right to interest thereon.

ARTICLE 26. NO COLLUSION OR FRAUD

The Contractor hereby agrees that the only person or persons interested as principal or principals in the Proposal submitted by the Contractor for this Contract are named therein, and that no person other than those mentioned therein has any interest in the above mentioned Proposal or in the securing of the award, and that this Contract has been secured without any connection with any person or persons other than those named, and that the Proposal is in all respects fair and was prepared and the Contract was secured without collusion or fraud and that neither any officer nor employee of the Authority has or shall have a financial interest in the performance of the Contract or in the supplies, work or business to which it relates, or any portion of the profits thereof.

ARTICLE 27. DAMAGE

a) All damage, direct or indirect, of whatever nature resulting from the performance of the Work or resulting to the Work during its progress, from whatever cause, including omissions and supervisory acts of the Authority or the Engineer, shall be borne by the Contractor, and all work shall be solely at its risk until the Work has been finally inspected and accepted by the Authority. The Contractor, however, shall not be responsible for damages resulting from faulty designs as shown by the plans and specifications nor the damages resulting from willful acts of officials or employees of the Authority or the Engineer.

b) To the extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall assume the entire responsibility and

liability for and defense of, and pay and indemnify the Authority, the State of New York, and the Engineer against any loss, expense or liability and will hold each of them harmless from and pay any loss, damage, cost or expense (including without limitation, judgments, attorney's fees, and court costs) which the Authority, the State of New York or Engineer incurs because of injury to or death of any person or on account of damage to property, or any other claim arising out of, in connection with, or as a consequence of, the performance of the Work and/or any act or omission of the Contractor or any of its subcontractors, employees, agents or anyone directly or indirectly employed by Contractor or anyone for whose acts Contractor may be liable.


ARTICLE 28. CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES

No provisions of this Contract shall, directly or indirectly, create or give to third parties including subcontractors, any claim or right of action against the Contractor, the Engineer, the Authority, or the People of the State of New York beyond such as may legally exist irrespective of such provision or provisions. ARTICLE 29. PUBLICITY No marketing, publicity, promotion or advertising regarding this Agreement will be issued by the Contractor without the Authority's prior written approval, and, if applicable, also with the prior written approval from the Authority’s customer where the Work will be or is being performed, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

Other makes and catalog numbers will be accepted provided that it is established to the satisfaction of the Engineer that they are similar and equal to those specified herein or called for on the Plans/Drawings.

c) Prior to placing of any purchase order for products of standard manufacture, and sufficiently

in advance of the proposed purchase date to enable the Engineer to determine whether the proposed product conforms to the specifications, the Contractor shall submit for the review of the Engineer complete descriptive data consisting of dimensioned drawings, catalog references and specifications, typical performance records, and such other information as may be required to be submitted on special forms to be furnished by the Engineer to identify clearly each product in question. The term "or equal" shall not be used in any descriptive information furnished. Except at the Contractor's risk, no purchase order shall be placed for any product which has not been approved by the Engineer.

GC-9. EQUIVALENTS

a) The mention of apparatus, machinery, articles or materials by trade name, and such specific description as is made, is intended to establish the degree of excellence required. Except in those instances where the product is designated to match others in use in a particular improvement either completed or in the course of completion, the use of an alternative which the Contractor represents will conform substantially to the standard of excellence established and is at least of equivalent merit, strength, durability and appearance and which will perform the required function for the purpose intended will be permitted, subject to each of the following requirements:

1) The burden of proof as to the quality and suitability of alternatives shall be upon the

Contractor and it shall furnish all information necessary as required by the Engineer at no additional cost to the Authority. The Engineer shall be the sole judge as to the


quality and suitability of such alternatives and its decision shall be final. Approval by the Engineer of an alternative shall be in writing and shall set forth any adjustment as may be appropriate under subparagraph (7) below.

2) Where use of such alternative involves redesign of or changes to other parts of the

Work, the time required to effect such design or changes will be considered in evaluating the suitability of the alternative.

3) No tests or action relating to the approval of an alternative will be made until the

request for substitution is made in writing by the Contractor accompanied by complete data as to the equality of the alternative. Such request shall be made in ample time to permit approval without delaying the Work.

4) Whenever classifications, rating or other certification by a body such as UL, NEMA

and ANSI is a part of the specification for any equipment or materials, proposals for use of alternatives shall be accompanied by reports from the listed or equivalent testing laboratory indicating compliance with specification requirements.

5) The cost of all testing required to prove equality of the alternative proposed shall be

borne by the Contractor.

6) Approval of an alternative shall only be for the characteristics or use named in such approval, and shall not be used to change or modify any Contract requirement, or to establish approval for the alternative to be used on any other phase of the Work.

7) If the alternative approved is of lesser value to the Authority or involves less cost to

the Contractor than the product specified, an adjustment shall be made in favor of the Authority, and where the amount involved or the importance of the substitution warrants, an order for changes will be issued; otherwise the adjustment will be handled by deductions from payments to the Contractor on the basis of prices stated in the written approval. No payments in excess of prices bid in the schedule will be made because of such substitution of one product for another, or because of the use of one alternative in place of another.

b) Any changes required in the details and dimensions shown on the Plans/Drawings for the

substitution of the alternative shall be properly made as approved by the Engineer and at the expense of the Contractor. Any additional expense incurred by the Contractor arising from the use of any suitable alternative shall be borne solely by the Contractor. When any change in design or other conditions render unusable any alternate material or apparatus recommended by the Contractor and subsequently approved by the Engineer as an alternate to any standard materials, equipment or apparatus specified on the drawings or in the specifications, the Contractor shall assume all loss incurred and shall be entitled to no additional compensation therefor.

c) Whenever the words "or equal" appear in the specification, the following shall also be inserted

APPENDIX C – (FOR BID PURPOSES ONLY)

Contractor Requirements and Procedures for Business Participation Opportunities forNew York State Certified M/WBE’s and Equal Employment Opportunities for Minority

Group Members and Women

NYS Law

Pursuant to New York State Executive Law Article 15-A, the New York Power Authority,hereinafter referred to as “NYPA” recognizes its obligation under the law to promoteopportunities for maximum feasible participation of certified Minority and Women BusinessEnterprises (M/WBE)s and the employment of minority group members and women in theperformance of NYPA contracts.

In 2006, the State of New York commissioned a disparity study to evaluate whether minority andwomen-owned business enterprises had a full and fair opportunity to participate in statecontracting. The findings of the study were published on April 29, 2010, under the title “TheState of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises: Evidence from New York” (the“Disparity Study”). The report found evidence of statistically significant disparities between thelevel of participation of minority-and women-owned business enterprises in state procurementcontracting versus the number of minority-and women-owned business enterprises that wereready, willing and able to participate in state procurements. As a result of these findings, theDisparity Study made recommendations concerning the implementation and operation of thestatewide certified minority- and women-owned business enterprises program. Therecommendations from the Disparity Study culminated in the enactment and the implementationof New York State Executive Law Article 15-A, which requires, among other things, that NYPAestablish goals for maximum feasible participation of New York State Certified M/WBEs andthe employment of minority groups members and women in the performance of New York Statecontracts.

Business Participation Opportunities for M/WBEs

For the purposes of this solicitation, NYPA hereby establishes an overall goal of 30 % forM/WBE participation, 15 % for MBE participation and 15 % for WBE participation (basedon the current availability of qualified MBEs and WBEs). A contractor (“Contractor”) on theContract must document good faith efforts to provide meaningful participation by M/WBEs assubcontractors or suppliers in the performance of the Contract and Contractor agrees that NYPAmay withhold payment pending receipt of the required M/WBE documentation. The directory ofNew York State Certified M/WBEs can be viewed at: http://www.esd.ny.gov/mwbe.html. Forguidance on how NYPA will determine a Contractor’s “good faith efforts,” refer to 5 NYCRR§142.8.

In accordance with 5 NYCRR §142.13, Contractor acknowledges that if it is found to havewillfully and intentionally failed to comply with the M/WBE participation goals set forth in the

Contract, such finding constitutes a breach of Contract and NYPA may withhold payment fromthe Contractor as liquidated damages .

For more information, including information about additional rights, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore or write to: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street N.W., Washington, DC 20552.

• You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses a credit report or another type of consumer report to deny your application for credit, insurance, or employment - or to take another adverse action against you - must tell you, and must give you the name, address, and phone number of the agency that provided the information.

• You have the right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the

information about you in the files of a consumer reporting agency (your "file disclosure"). You will be required to provide proper identification, which may include your Social Security number. In many cases, the disclosure will be free. You are entitled to a free file disclosure if:

• a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your credit report;

• you are the victim of identity theft and place a fraud alert in your file;

• Your file contains inaccurate information as a result of fraud;

• You are on public assistance;

• You are unemployed but expect to apply for employment within 60 days.

In addition, all consumers are entitled to one free disclosure every 12 months upon request from each nationwide credit bureau and from nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies. See www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore for additional information.

• You have the right to ask for a credit score. Credit scores are numerical summaries of

your credit-worthiness based on information from credit bureaus. You may request a credit score from consumer reporting agencies that create scores or distribute scores used in residential real property loans, but you will have to pay for it. In some mortgage transactions, you will receive credit score information for free from the mortgage lender.

• You have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and report it to the consumer reporting agency, the agency must investigate unless your dispute is frivolous. See www.consurnerfinance.gov/learnmore for an explanation of dispute procedures.

• Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most cases, a consumer reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than 10 years old.

• Access to your file is limited. A consumer reporting agency may provide information

about you only to people with a valid need -- usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, land lord, or other business. The FCRA specifies those with a valid need for access.

• You must give your consent for reports to be provided to employers. A

consumer reporting agency may not give out information about you to your employer, or a potential employer, without your written consent given to the employer. Written consent generally is not required in the trucking industry. For more information, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.

• You may limit "prescreened" offers of credit and insurance you get based on

information in you r credit report. Unsolicited "prescreened" offers for credit and insurance must include a toll-free phone number you can call if you choose to remove your name and address from the lists these offers are based on. You may opt out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 1-888-5-0PTOUT (1-888-567-8688).

• You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or, in

some cases, a user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.

• Identity theft victims and active duty military personnel have additional rights.

For more information, visit www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.

States may enforce the FCRA, and many states have their own consumer reporting laws. In some

cases, you may have more rights u nder state law. For more information, contact you r state or local

consumer protection agency or you r state Attorney General. For information about your federal

rights, contact:

APPENDIX H TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS

New York State Tax Law Section 5-a became effective August 20, 2004 for all covered procurements initiated on or after January 1, 2005 and was subsequently amended effective April 26, 2006. It applies to contracts where (1) the total amount of contractor’s sales delivered into New York State are in excess of $300,000 for the four sales tax quarters immediately preceding the quarterly period in which the certification is made, and with respect to any contractors, subcontractors, or affiliates of contractors whose sales delivered into New York State exceeded $300,000 for the four sales tax quarters immediately preceding the quarterly period in which the certification is made, and (2) the contracts or agreements with state agencies or public authorities for the sale of commodities or services have a value in excess of $100,000. This law imposes upon contractors the obligation to certify, prior to the effective date of the contract, whether or not the contractor, its subcontractors, and affiliates of the contractors are required to register to collect state sales and compensating use tax. Where required to register, the contractor must also certify that it is, in fact, registered with the Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF). Contractor certification forms and instructions for completing the forms can be found at the website noted below. Proposed contractors should complete and return the certification forms within two business days of request prior to any contract award. Failure to respond timely may render a proposed contractor non-responsive and non-responsible. Proposed contractors shall take the necessary steps to provide properly certified forms, within a timely manner to ensure compliance with the law. In addition, if the contractor fails to make the certification required by New York Tax Law Section 5-a, or if, during the term of the contract, the approving agency discovers that such certification was false when made, then such failure or false certification will be a material breach of the contract, and the contract may be subject to termination if the approving agency determines that such action is in the best interests of the State of New York.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

In the case of a contract in which the terms provide for renewal upon expiration of an initial or subsequent term, the contractor must submit a certification document to the Authority, by the day prior to the commencement date of the next succeeding term of the contract. All covered contracts awarded, amended, extended, renewed or assigned on or after April 26, 2006 require form ST-220-CA to be filed with the Authority which certifies that ST-220-TD has been filed with the DTF and is up to date. 1

Contractors may call the DTF at 1-800-698-2931 for any and all questions relating to Tax Law Section 5-a and relating to a company’s registration status with the DTF. For additional information and frequently asked questions, please refer to the DTF website: http://www.nystax.gov

1 All covered procurements initiated on or after January 1, 2005 and awarded prior to April 26,2006 shall be governed by the former rules and procedures as described in http://www.osc.state.ny.us/agencies/gbull/g222.htm

ATTACHMENT 7 - CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION/MONITORING PROGRAM


CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION/MONITORING PROGRAM (CI/MP)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for converting the project

design into a completed high quality facility through the establishment and

implementation of a construction inspection/monitoring program for the Contractor

and associated subcontractor(s). All guidelines set forth in this document shall

pertain to the Contractor and all associated subcontractor(s) on this project.

1.2 Implementation of the Construction Inspection/Monitoring Program must recognize the

need not only for quality construction consistent with the intent of the project design and

contract.

1.3 This program is based on a combination of direct inspection of material, equipment and

processes as well as a systematic monitoring of construction activities. This inspection and

monitoring process as well as responsibilities are described in the following sections.

1.4 The Contractor and their subcontractor(s) shall employ a full time independent Quality

Control Inspector which is knowledgeable in the specific discipline to inspect and monitor

the work. The inspector(s) shall be independent from organizational personnel with

responsibilities of scheduling, manufacturing, project management, field construction

activities, fabrication and engineering. Resumes of all inspector(s) shall be provided to the

Authority for review and acceptance.

2.0 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 The Contractor has the responsibility to assure that all aspects of work comprising any

activity during construction are performed in accordance with the Project’s design

requirements, specifications, drawings and applicable codes and standards.

2.2 The Contractor has the responsibility for performing and documenting inspection of all

project work verifying conformance to the requirements specified in the Contract

Documents.

2.3 The Contractor shall develop, implement, and completed inspection checklists, with the

Authority’s approval, and forms to verify that an inspection of work has been completed

and that the materials used and the workmanship performed by the Contractor comply with

the project’s Contract Documents. Prior to the start of work, the Contractor, Authority’s

Construction Site Representative (CSR), and a representative from the Authority’s Quality

Assurance (QA) Department, shall meet to review and approve the checklists to be used for

the project and the applicable hold and witness points.

Witness Points:

Those inspection and test points for which five (5) working days notice must be given by

the Contractor to the Authority’s CSR but do not require the Contractor to hold up the


performance of inspection or test if the Authority’s CSR is not available to witness

performance.

Hold Points:

Those inspection and test points for which five (5) working days notice must be given by

the Contractor to the Authority’s CSR, and require witness of the inspection or test by the

CSR unless a documented waiver is given to the Contractor.

Unless a waiver has been granted, if an inspection or test point designated as a hold point

does not have the requisite witnessing by the CSR, the Contractor faces rejection of the

work by the Authority and must repeat the inspection or test for the CSR before the work

can be considered acceptable.

A "Double J-Groove" type full penetration attachment weld can be used

in lieu of the double bevel type shown on the design drawings.

e. Partial Penetration Attachment:

The partial penetration weld shall be a continuous weld on the sides and top

of the lugs. The weld shall be completed with concave fillets (1/4-inch

minimum) on all sides to provide the proper weld contour. Fillet weld

profile shall be in accordance with equal leg, concave fillet shown in

fillet weld contour is ground or machined concave.

The root pass and each 1/4-inch layer of deposited weld metal shall be

examined by either the magnetic particle or liquid penetrant method while

the lug is being attached.

After the shear lugs and pipe have cooled from the final stress relief, the lug

welds and the base material for at least 1/2 inch on each side of the weld

shall be examined for surface defects by either the magnetic particle or

liquid penetrant method.

f. Ultrasonic Testing Acceptance Standards:

All indications which produce a response greater than 20% of the

reference level shall be investigated to the extent that the operator can

determine the shape, identity and location of all such reflectors and

evaluate them in terms of the acceptance standards as follows:

Discontinuities are unacceptable if the amplitude exceeds the reference


level or if the discontinuities have lengths which exceed:

(1) 1/4 inch for t up to 3/4 inch, inclusive;

(2) 1/3 t for t from 3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inches, inclusive;

(3) 3/4 inch for t over 2-1/4 inches;

where "t" is the thickness of the weld being examined. If a weld joins two

members having different thicknesses at the weld, t is the thinner of these

two thicknesses.

Where discontinuities are interpreted to be cracks, lack of fusion, or

incomplete penetration, they are unacceptable regardless of discontinuity

or signal amplitude.

Ultrasonic test reports for shear lugs shall show the size and location of

all reportable indications.

g. Magnetic Particle/Liquid Penetrant Evaluation of Indications:

Mechanical discontinuities at the surface will be indicated by retention of

the examination medium; however, localized surface imperfections, such as

may occur from machining marks or surface conditions, may produce

similar

indications which are nonrelevant to the detection of

unacceptable discontinuities.

Any indication that is believed to be nonrelevant shall be regarded as a

defect and shall be reexamined to verify whether or not actual defects are

present. Surface conditioning may precede the reexamination. Nonrelevant

indications, which would mask indications of defects, are unacceptable.

Relevant indications are those which result from mechanical discontinuities.

Linear indications are those indications in which the length is more than

three times the width. Rounded indications are indications that are circular

or elliptical with the length less than three times the width.

h. Magnetic Particle/Liquid Penetrant Acceptance Standards:

Indications with major dimensions greater than 1/16 inch shall be

considered relevant.

The following relevant indications are unacceptable:

(1) Any cracks or linear indications;

(2) Rounded indications with dimensions greater than 3/16 inch;

(3) Four or more rounded indications in a line separated by 1/16 inch

or less edge-to-edge;

(4) Ten or more rounded indications in any 6 square inches of surface


with the major dimensions of this area not to exceed 6 inches and

the area taken in the most unfavorable location relative to the

indications being evaluated.

i. The bottom surfaces of the shear lugs shall be within plus or minus 1/8 inch of

the true elevations shown on the design drawings. In addition, the bottom

surfaces of the shear lugs at any one nominal elevations shall be within a

1. The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2. If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond, except when applicable to participate in a conference as provided in Paragraph 3.

3. If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety’s obligation under this Bond shall arise after:

3.1 The Owner first provides notice to the Contractor and the Surety that the Owner is considering declaring a Contractor Default. Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is requesting a conference among the Owner, Contractor, and Surety to discuss the Contractor’s performance. If the Owner does not request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Owner’s notice, request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner shall attend. Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference requested under this Paragraph 3.1 shall be held within ten (10) business days of the Surety’s receipt of the Owner’s notice. If the Owner, the Contractor, and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner’s right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default;

3.2 The Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates the Construction Contract and notifies the Surety; and

3.3 The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract.

4. Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice requirement in Paragraph 3.1 shall not constitute a failure to comply with a condition precedent to the Surety’s obligations, or release the Surety from its obligations, except to the extent the Surety demonstrates actual prejudice.

5. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense take one of the following actions:

5.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract;

5.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or independent contractors;

5.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the Owner and a contractor selected with the Owners concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of damages as described in Paragraph 7 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the Owner as a result of the Contractor Default; or

5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor, and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances:

5.4.1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or

5.4.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial.

6. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Paragraph 5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.

7. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3, then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to the Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under the Construction Contract. Subject to the commitment by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price, the Surety is obligated, without duplication for:

7.1 the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and completion of the Construction Contract;

7.2 additional legal, design professional, and delay costs resulting from the Contractor’s Default, and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 5; and

7.3 liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Construction Contract, actual damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor.

8. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.3, or 5.4, the Surety’s liability is limited to the amount of this Bond.

9. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Construction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

10. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders, and other obligations.

11. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the work or part of the work is located and shall be instituted within two years after a declaration of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum periods of limitations available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of the suit shall be applicable.

1. The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind

themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns to the Owner to pay for labor, materials, and equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference, subject to the following terms.

2. If the Contractor promptly makes payment of all sums due to Claimants, and defends, indemnifies, and holds harmless the Owner from claims, demands, liens, or suits by any person or entity seeking payment for labor, materials, or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract, then the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond.

3. If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety’s obligation to the Owner under this Bond shall arise after the Owner has promptly notified the Contractor and the Surety (at the address described in Paragraph 13) of claims, demands, liens, or suits against the Owner or the Owner’s property by any person or entity seeking payment for labor, materials, or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract, and tendered defense of such claims, demands, liens, or suits to the Contractor and the Surety.

5.1 Claimants who do not have a direct contract with the Contractor,

6. If a notice of non-payment required by Paragraph 5.1.1 is given by the Owner to the Contractor, that is sufficient to satisfy a Claimant’s obligation to furnish a written notice of non-payment under Paragraph 5.1.1.

7. When a Claimant has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 5.1 or 5.2, whichever is applicable, the Surety shall

promptly and at the Surety’s expense take the following actions:

7.2 Pay or arrange for payment of any undisputed amounts.

13. Notice and Claims to the Surety, the Owner, or the Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the page on which their signature appears. Actual receipt of notice or Claims, however accomplished, shall be sufficient compliance as of the date received.
