Request for Approval of Plans and Specifications and
Authorization to Advertise for Bids, Lake Susan Park Playground
The 2005 Capital Improvement Program included new playgrounds for five city
parks. In May, the City Council authorized the purchase of new playgrounds for
Curry Farms Park, North Lotus Lake Park, Rice Marsh Lake Park and
Chanhassen Hills Park. These playgrounds were selected through a competitive
design process. The Lake Susan Park playground, valued in excess of $50,000,
requires a public bid.
Attached please find a project manual for the Lake Susan Park Playground
equipment. The playground design specified in the manual was also selected
through a competitive process. Four different consultants for playground
manufacturers submitted proposals for consideration. The Park and Recreation
Commission members recommended that the design submitted by Flanagan Sales
be utilized in the bid documents. Competing companies will be considered as
substitutions and an addendum will be issued if they are approved as equals. The
selected design will provide a very exciting playground structure for one of the
city's most active community park sites.
Please note that the bid package is solely for the purchase of the equipment.
Installation will be carried out by Park Maintenance crews.
RECOMMENDA TION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached plans and
specifications for the Lake Susan Park Playground and authorize advertisement
for bids.
ACTION REQUIRED
Approval of this item requires a simple majority vote of those city council
members present.

and carefully correlate Bidder's observations with the Contract Documents.

investigations and tests of subsurface and latent physical conditions at the site or
otherwise affecting cost, progress or performance of the work which have been relied
upon by Landscape Architect in preparing the Drawings and Specifications. Copies of
such reports are bound with the Specifications. These reports are not guaranteed as to
accuracy or completeness, nor are they a part of the Contract Documents. Before
submitting his/her Bid, each Bidder will, at his/her own expense, make such additional
investigations and tests as the Bidder may deem necessary to determine his/her Bid for
performance of the work in accordance with the time, price, and other terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents.
3.3 On request, Owner will provide each Bidder access to the site to conduct such
investigations and tests as each Bidder deems necessary for submission of his/her Bid.
3.4 The submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by the Bidder
that he/she has complied with every requirement of this Article 3 and that the Contract
Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all
terms and conditions for performance of the work.

interpretations or clarifications will be without legal effect.
IE-I

Advertisement for Bids of the Bidder's maximum Bid price, and in the form of a certified
or bank check or a Bid Bond, issued by a Surety, meeting the requirements of paragraph
2.05 of the General Conditions.
5.2 The Bid Security of the three lowest Bidders will be retained until the successful Bidder
has executed the Agreement and furnished the required Contract Security, whereupon it
will be returned; if the successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Agreement and
furnish the required Contract Security within 15 days of the Notice of Award. Owner may
annul the Notice of Award and the Bid Security of that Bidder will be forfeited. The Bid
Security of any Bidder whom Owner believes to have a reasonable chance of receiving
the award (generally the second and third low Bidder) may be retained by the Owner until
the earlier of the seventh day after the "effective date of the Agreement" (which term is
defined in the General Conditions) by Owner to Contractor and the required Contract
Security is furnished or the sixty-first day after the Bid opening. Bid security of other
Bidders will be returned within seven days of the Bid opening.

completed (the Contract time) is set forth in the Bid Form and will be included in the Special
Provisions.

requests, will within seven days after the day of the Bid Opening submit to Owner a list of
all subcontractors and other persons and organizations (including those who are to
furnish the principal items of material and equipment) proposed for those portions of the
work as to which such identification is so required. Such list shall be accompanied by an
experience statement with pertinent information as to similar projects and other evidence
of qualification of each such subcontractor, person and organization if requested by
Owner. If Owner or Landscape Architect after due investigation has reasonable objection
to any proposed subcontractor, other person or organization, either may before giving the
Notice of Award request the apparent Successful Bidder to submit an acceptable
substitute without an increase in Bid price. If the apparent successful Bidder declines to
make any such substitution, the Contract shall not be awarded to such Bidder, but his/her
declining to make any such substitution will not constitute grounds for sacrificing his/her
Bid Security. Any subcontractor, other person or organization so listed and to whom
Owner or Landscape Architect does not make written objection prior to the giving of the
Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Landscape Architect.
8.2 In contracts where the Contract Price is on the basis of Cost-of-the-Work Plus a Fee, the
apparent Successful Bidder, prior to the Notice of Award shall identify in writing to Owner
those portions of the work that such Bidder proposes to subcontract and after the Notice

sealed envelope shall be enclosed in a separate envelope with the notation "BID ENCLOSED" on
the face thereof. Bids arriving at the designated place after the designated time will be returned to
the Bidder unopened.
11. MODIFICATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

manner that a Bid must be executed) and delivered to the place where Bids are to be
submitted at any time prior to the opening of Bids.

notice with Owner and promptly thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of
Owner that there was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of his/her Bid,
that Bidder may withdraw his/her Bid and the Bid Security will be returned. Thereafter,
that Bidder will be disqualified from further bidding on the work.
12. OPENING OF BIDS. When Bids are opened publicly, they will be read aloud and an abstract of
the amounts of the base Bids and major alternates (if any) will be made available after the
opening of Bids

14. AWARD OF CONTRACT
14.1 Owner reserves the right to reject any and all Bids, to waive any and all informalities and
to negotiate Contract terms with the Successful Bidder, and the right to disregard all
nonconforming, non-responsive or conditional Bids. The quantities shown on the Bid
Form are estimated and are furnished only as a basis to prepare a Bid and to determine
the lowest Bidder. The Bid Price shall be determined by multiplying the unit price bid per
item times the estimated quantity per item. The sum total of all Bid Prices shall be the
Contract Price and the basis for determining the lowest Bid. Discrepancies between
words and figures in a unit price bid will be resolved to harmonize with the Bid Price. If
IB-3
neither the words or figures in the unit price harmonize with the Bid Price, the words will
be used as the unit price bid.
14.2 In evaluating Bids, Owner shall consider the qualifications of the Bidders, whether or not
the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and alternates and unit prices if
requested in the Bid Forms. It is Owner's intent to accept alternates (if any are accepted)
in the order in which they are listed in the Bid form but Owner may accept them in any
order or combination.
14.3 Owner may consider the qualifications and experience of subcontractors and other
persons and organizations (including those who are to furnish the principal items of
material or equipment) proposed for those portions of the work as to which the identity of
subcontractors and other persons and organizations must be submitted as provided in
the Supplementary Conditions. Operating costs, maintenance considerations,
performance data and guarantee of materials and equipment may also be considered by
Owner.
14.4 Owner may conduct such investigations as he/she deems necessary to assist in the
evaluation of any Bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial ability
of the Bidders, proposed subcontractors and other persons and organizations to do the
work in accordance with the Contract Documents to Owner's satisfaction within the
prescribed time.
14.5 Owner reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder who does not pass any such
evaluation to Owner's satisfaction.
14.6 If the Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest Bidder whose evaluation
by Owner indicates to Owner that the award will be in the best interests of the Project.
14.7 If the Contract is to be awarded, Owner will give the Successful Bidder a Notice of Award
within sixty days after the date of the Bid opening or other specified date.
15. SIGNING OF AGREEMENT. When Owner gives a Notice of Award to the Successful Bidder, it

three counterparts of the Agreement to Owner with all other Contract Documents attached.

SECTION 2.00 - BIDDING REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
2.01
QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS: If requested, bidders must present satisfactory
evidence that they are familiar with the class of work specified, and that they are
provided with the necessary capital, tools, machinery and other equipment necessary
to conduct the work and complete the improvement within the time specified in the
proposal, in a good and workmanlike manner and to the entire satisfaction of the
Owner.
The Owner will review the qualifications and experience of bidders after bids are
opened and before a contract is awarded, to determine if the bidder is "responsible."
A "responsible" bidder is a bidder qualified to do the work. This will be determined
by assessing the bidder's skill, resources, experience, successful performance of
similar contracts (on time and on budget), and all other matters bearing upon the
likelihood that the contract will be successfully completed. In all cases where a
bidder is unknown or where there are any questions about the qualifications of the
bidder, the following information may be required of the apparent low bidder:
I. Identify all similar public projects in which you were the contractor. If you
have had more than five such contracts, list only the last five contracts, and as
to each contract identified, provide the following information:
Project Description:
Date:
Contact Person at City/County/State:
Were change orders in excess of 5% requested? If yes, explain the
circumstances.
Were liquidated damages assessed? If yes, explain the circumstances.
Was the project completed on schedule? Ifno, explain the circumstances.
2. Describe all construction arbitration claims and any construction or project
litigation in which you have been a party in the last five years.
3. Identify all public projects you have had with the City of Chanhassen in the
last five years.
4. In the last five years, has a bonding company ever refused to issue you a
performance bond? If yes, explain the circumstances.
5. In the last five years, have any claims been filed against a performance or
payment bond that you have provided a public entity? If yes, explain the
circumstances.
G-7
6. In the last five years, has your firm or any of its owners or employees been
fined by a federal or state agency for a contract or workplace matter (such as
wage or hour or safety violations), or debarred under Part 29, Title 49 CFR or
any other law from submitting bids on public projects? If yes, explain the
circumstances.
7. In the last five years, has your firm or any of its owners or employees been
charged or convicted of a crime involving the awarding, bidding or
performance of a government contract? If yes, provide full details.
The bidder agrees that they are fully responsible to the Owner for the acts and
omissions of any proposed subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly
employed by them, as they are for the acts and omissions of persons directly
employed by them.
Failure on the part of any bidder to carry out previous contracts satisfactorily, or lack
of experience or equipment necessary for the satisfactory completion of the project,
may be deemed sufficient cause for disqualification.
2.02 CONTRACT DOCUMENT INTERPRETATIONS: All applicable laws,
ordinances, and the rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over
construction of the project shall apply to the contract throughout, and the Contractor
shall be responsible for familiarizing themselves with all permits, bond and other
requirements for the work to be performed.
All work shall be performed in accordance with the most recent version of the City
of Chanhassen Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. In the event a work item is
not addressed in the Chanhassen Standard Specifications and Detail Plates, the most
recent version of the Minnesota Department of Transportation Standard
Specifications shall govern. Whenever reference is made to the Minnesota
Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, the word "Owner" shall be
substituted for "State" and "Department" where appropriate and the word
"Landscape Architect" is understood to refer to the Landscape Architect for the
Owner.
The City of Chanhassen Standard Plates included as part of these Specifications take
precedence over the Minnesota Department of Transportation Standard Plates in all
instances of conflict.
If any person contemplating the submitting of a bid for a proposed contract is in
doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the plans, specifications or other proposed
Contract Documents, they may submit to the Landscape Architect a written request
for an interpretation thereof at least three days prior to the scheduled bid opening.
The persons submitting the request will be responsible for prompt delivery to the
Landscape Architect. Any interpretation of the proposed documents shall be made
by addendum, duly numbered and dated. A copy of such addendum will be sent
certified mail, return receipt requested, when there are five mail delivery days before
the bid opening to each prospective bidder who had received a set of documents prior
to the date of the addendum, and each bidder shall acknowledge receipt of that
addendum on their proposal form. Addenda will not be mailed within five mail
delivery days of the bid opening. Plan holders will be asked to pick up materials at
G-8
the Landscape Architect's office or when available, can receive the materials via
facsimile. Such addendum will be attached to all documents issued after the date of
the addendum and shall remain a part thereof. The Owner and Landscape Architect
will not be responsible for any other explanation or interpretation.
The Owner reserves the right to modify the plans, specifications, special provisions,
or proposal at any time prior to bids being opened, in accordance with the procedures
for issuance of an addendum.
All proposals shall be made and received with the express understanding that the
Bidder accepts the terms and conditions contained in these instructions and the plans
and specifications, forms of contract and bond, and any other Contract Documents
referred to herein.
If, after the bids have been delivered to the Owner, any difference of opinion shall
arise as to the true intent or meaning of any part of the specifications, the decision of
the Landscape Architect shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all parties.
2.03 INTERPRETATION OF QUANTITIES IN BID SCHEDULE: The schedule of
quantities is approximate only and is assumed solely for the purpose of comparing
bids. The quantities on which payment will be made to the Contractor are to be
determined by measurements of the work actually performed by the Contractor as
specified in the Contract Documents.
2.04 SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL: Sealed bids will be received by the Owner up to
the date and hour as specified in the Advertisement for Bids at the office of the
Owner or as otherwise specified. Bids received after the time specified shall be
returned unopened.
All bids must be in ink upon the bid form included in the Specifications with a given
price for each item and aggregate amount for the work, and must be signed and
acknowledged by the bidder in accordance with the directions on the bid form. If a
separate proposal form is provided, this separate form is to be submitted, not the
form bound into the specification book. In order to ensure consideration, the bid
shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope addressed to the Owner and clearly marked as
to the time and date of bid opening, the name of the project, and name and address of
bidder.
2.05 PROPOSAL GUARANTY: Each bid shall be accompanied by a Proposal Guaranty
in the form of a money order, certified check or bid bond, payable to the order of the
owner in an amount not less than five percent (5%) of the total amount of the bid.
No bid will be considered unless accompanied by the Proposal Guaranty.
In case alternate bids are called for, one Proposal Guaranty in the amount of five
percent (5%) of the total amount of the highest bid alternative will be sufficient for
all bids.
As soon as the bids have been tabulated, all Proposal Guarantees shall be returned to
the bidders, except those of the three lowest responsible bidders, which shall be
returned after the agreement is executed and the required bonds and insurance
received, approved, and accepted by the Owner.
G-9
2.06 AFFIDAVIT OF NON-COLLUSION: Each bidder shall submit with his proposal,
an affidavit of non-collusion, signed by one of the officers of the firm and notarized.
The Affidavit to be used is bound into these Contract Documents. A sample affidavit
is included in the attachments.
2.07 WITHDRAWAL OF PROPOSALS: Any bid may be withdrawn or modified prior
to the schedule time for the opening of bids or authorized postponement thereof.
After the time set for opening of the bids, no bidder may, without the consent of the
Owner, withdraw their bid or claim extra compensation or damages for any error or
omission made by said bidder in preparing their bid, for a period of 60 days. Bid
guarantees may be held by the Owner for said 60 days until all of the bids submitted
have been canvassed, a contract awarded and executed, and the required bonds and
insurance furnished and approved. Should there be reasons why the contract cannot
be awarded within the specified period, the time may be extended by mutual
agreement between the Owner and the bidder.
G-lO
SECTION 3.00 - A WARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT
3.01
EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS: The bids from each responsible bidder will be
considered on the basis of the amounts as shown on the bid form, and awarded to the
lowest bidder determined by correctly adding the products resulting from correctly
multiplying the quantities stated by the unit prices bid therefore, and as otherwise
described in the Special Provisions when alternate bids are included in the proposal
form.
The prices are to include the furnishing of all materials, all labor and services
necessary or proper for the completion of work, except such as may be otherwise
expressly provided in the Contract Documents.
The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids or to accept the bid deemed in
the best interest of the Owner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
bid which is incomplete, obscure, or irregular may be rejected; any bid having
erasures or corrections in the price sheet may be rejected; any bid which omits an
amount on anyone or more items in the price sheet may be rejected; any bid in
which unit prices are obviously unbalanced may be rejected; any bid accompanied
by an insufficient or irregular bid bond may be rejected; any bid which omits
acknowledgment of the receipt of addenda may be rejected.
The Owner may make such investigations as deemed necessary to determine the
ability of the bidder to perform the work, and the bidder shall furnish to the Owner
all such information and data for this purpose as the Owner may request. The Owner
reserves the right to reject any bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of,
such bidder fails to satisfy the Owner that such bidder is properly qualified to carry
out the obligations of the Agreement and to complete the work contemplated therein.
All bids shall be subject to review and approval ofthe Owner.
3.02 CONTRACT AWARD AND EXECUTION: Following acceptance of the bid by
the Owner, a "Notice of Award" letter will be mailed to the Contractor together with
the prepared contract agreements for signature and return.
A notice to proceed shall be issued within 10 calendar days of the execution of the
Agreement by the Owner. Should there be reasons why the Notice to Proceed cannot
be issued within such period, the time may be extended by mutual agreement
between the Owner and Contractor. If the Notice to Proceed has not been issued
within the 10 calendar day period or within the period mutually agreed upon, the
Contractor may terminate the Agreement without further liability on the part of either
party.
The Notice of A ward letter is not an order to proceed. The Contractor will have no
authority to perform work under this contract until all Contract Documents as
indicated above are properly completed and placed on file at the Owner's Offices
and a Notice to Proceed is issued by the Owner.
A Notice to Proceed with the work under this project will be sent to the Contractor
upon satisfaction of the above-indicated requirements.
G-ll
3.03 F AlLURE TO EXECUTE CONTRACT: Failure on the part of the successful bidder
to execute the Contract, furnish an acceptable bond, or comply with any other
requirements imposed precedent to the Contract, within the time allowed, shall be
considered just cause for cancellation of the award and forfeiture of the Proposal
Guaranty, not as a penalty, but in liquidation of damages sustained. A ward may then
be made to the next lowest responsible bidder, or the work may be re-advertised or
otherwise performed at the discretion of the Owner.
G-12
SECTION 4.00 - SCOPE OF WORK
4.01
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS. If the instructions and plans are not sufficiently
clear to permit the Contractor to proceed with the work, the Landscape Architect
shall, upon the request of the Contractor, furnish additional written instruction,
together with additional drawings as may be necessary. When such request is made
by the Contractor, it must be in ample time to permit the preparation of the
instructions and drawings by the Landscape Architect before the construction of the
work covered by them is undertaken. Such additional instructions and drawings shall
be consistent with the Contract Documents and shall have the same force and effect
as if contained in the original Contract Documents.
F or the purpose of avoiding delays in the preparation of such additional instructions
and drawings, the Landscape Architect and the Contractor shall jointly prepare a
schedule showing the time for the commencement of the work to be included in them
and the time the Contractor shall furnish the necessary shop drawings which may be
necessary for their preparation. The Contractor shall do no work without proper
drawings or instructions and shall replace any work not in accordance with such
drawings and instructions at no additional cost.
4.02 CHANGES OR ALTERATIONS IN THE WORK: The Owner, without invalidating
the contract, may order extra work or make changes by altering, adding to or
deducting from the work; the contract sum being adjusted according to the respective
unit bid prices. All such work shall be executed under the conditions of the original
contract, except that any claim for extension of time caused thereby shall be adjusted
at the time of ordering such change.
If the Contractor claims that any instructions by drawings or otherwise issued after
the date of the contract involved extra cost under the contract, the Landscape
Architect shall be given written notice thereof within seven days, after the receipt of
such instructions, and in any event before proceeding to execute the work, except
emergency endangering life or property, and the procedure shall then be as provided
for elsewhere herein for changes in the work. No such claim shall be valid unless so
made.
In giving instructions, the Landscape Architect shall have authority to make minor
changes in the work, not involving extra cost, and not inconsistent with the purposes
of the work but otherwise (except in an emergency endangering life or property) no
extra work or change shall be made unless in pursuance of a written order by the
Landscape Architect.
4.03 ORAL AGREEMENTS: No oral order, objection, claim or notice by any party to the
others shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations contained in any of the
contract documents, and none of the provisions of the Contract Documents shall be
held to be waived or modified by reason of any act whatsoever, other than by a
definitely agreed waiver or modification thereof in writing, signed by the parties to
be bound or by the representatives of the parties authorized to enter into such a
waiver or modification, and no evidence shall be introduced in any proceeding of any
other waiver or modification.
G-13
4.04 INTERPRETATIONS AND CHANGE ORDERS: No oral interpretation shall be
made to the Contractor as to the meaning of any of the Contract Documents or to
modify any of the provisions of the Contract Documents. Every request for an
interpretation shall be made in writing and addressed and forwarded to the
Landscape Architect. The Owner will not be responsible for any other explanation or
interpretation of the plans and specifications.
If unforeseen conditions require a change in the dimensions of a structure, location of
underground pipes, or major variations of a similar nature from the original plans,
necessitating exceeding the reasonable limits defmed above, or being of the nature of
a substantial departure from the original plans, such change shall be covered by a
change order. The change order is to set forth in complete detail the nature of the
change and reasons therefor. The compensation to be paid the Contractor and
whether it is an addition or a reduction with respect to the original contract costs is
also to be covered in detail. Should additional or supplemental drawings be required,
they will be furnished by the Landscape Architect.
G-14
SECTION 5.00 - CONTROL OF WORK
5.01
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT'S RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY: The
Landscape Architect is responsible for the general supervision and direction of the
inspection. The Landscape Architect will decide all questions regarding:
(a) Quality and acceptability of materials furnished and work performed.
(b) Manner of performance and rate of progress of the work.
( c) Interpretation of the Plans, Specifications, and Special Provisions.
(d) Measurement, control of quantities, and the amount of an deductions or
adjustments to be made in payment.
(e) Acceptable fulfillment of all Contract Provisions on the part of the
Contractor.
The Landscape Architect is not responsible for the acts or omISSIOns of the
Contractor's superintendent or employees.
The Landscape Architect shall, within a reasonable time after receiving written
notification, make decisions in writing on all claims of the Owner or the Contractor
and on all other matters relating to the execution and progress of the work or the
interpretation of the Contract Documents.
All such decisions of the Landscape Architect shall be final. Any dispute over
$10,000 shall be settled in Carver County District Court.
Failure to condemn any inferior material or work at the time of its use or construction
shall not be construed as an acceptance of the same, but the Contractor shall upon
notice from the Landscape Architect at any time prior to the final acceptance of the
improvement immediately tear out, remove and properly reconstruct, at no cost to the
Owner, any portion of this improvement which the Landscape Architect may decide
to be defective and the Contractor will be held wholly responsible for the safety,
proper construction and perfection of the entire improvement until the same has been
finally accepted and paid for by the Owner.
The Landscape Architect will make final inspection of all work included in the
contract or any portion thereof, as soon as practicable after notification by the
Contractor that such work is nearing completion. If such work is not acceptable to
the Landscape Architect at the time of the inspection, the Contractor will be advised
in writing as to the particular defects to be remedied before such work can be
accepted. If, within a period of ten days after such notification, the Contractor has not
taken steps to speedily complete the work as directed, the Landscape Architect may,
without further notice and without in any way impairing the contract, make such
other arrangements as deemed necessary to have such work completed in a
satisfactory manner without regard to remaining contract completion time. The cost
of completing such work shall be deducted from any moneys due, or which may
become due the Contractor on the contract.
G-15
5.02 INTENT OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: The intent of the plans and
specifications is that the Contractor furnish all labor and materials, equipment and
transportation necessary for the proper execution of the work unless specifically
noted otherwise. The Contractor shall do all the work shown on the plans and
described in the specifications and all incidental work necessary to complete the
project in an acceptable manner and to fully complete the work or project, ready for
use, occupancy and operation of the Owner.
It is further the intention of the plans and specifications to set forth requirements of
performance, type of equipment and structures, and standards of materials and
construction, to require new material and equipment unless otherwise indicated and
to require complete performance of the work without specific reference to any minor
component part. It is not intended, however, that materials or work not covered by
the specifications shall be supplied unless distinctly so noted. Materials or work
described in words, which so applied have a well known technical or trade meaning,
shall be held to refer to such recognized standards.
All work shall be completed in accordance with the specifications and plans, and in
compliance with applicable laws of Federal, State and local governments.
5.03 SHOP DRAWINGS: The Contractor shall, upon request, submit shop drawings in
quadruplicate for the approval of the Landscape Architect.
5.04 DIMENSIONS: Figured dimensions on the plans will be used in preference to
scaling the drawings. Where the work of the Contractor is affected by finish
dimensions or manufacturer's equipment, these shall be determined by the Contractor
at the site, and he shall assume the responsibility therefore.
5.05 ADEQUACY OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: The complete requirements of
the work to be performed under the contract shall be set forth in plans and
specifications to be supplied by the Owner through the Landscape Architect or by the
Landscape Architect as representative of the Owner.
5.06 CONFLICT: In the case of a conflict of meaning between any of the terms of the
Contract Documents, the provisions of the document listed first below over those of
a document listed later:
I. Contract Agreement Form
2. Special Provisions
3. Plans
4. Specifications
5. General Conditions
6. Bid
7. Bid Form
Special provisions and detail plans are intended to modify and prevail over standard
plans and specifications.
5.07 DISCREPANCIES IN PLANS: The drawings, specifications, and other parts of the
plans are intended to complement one another. Anything shown on the drawings but
not mentioned in the specifications, or vice versa, or anything not expressly set forth
G-16
in either but which is reasonably implied, shall be furnished as though specifically
shown and mentioned in both without any extra charge. Should anything be omitted
from the drawings and necessary to the proper construction of the work herein
described, it shall be the duty of the Contractor to notify the Landscape Architect
prior to beginning work; and in the event of the Contractor failing to give such
notice, the Contractor shall make good any damage or defect in work caused thereby,
without extra charge to the owner.
Questions as to meaning of plans and specifications shall be interpreted by the
Landscape Architect, whose decisions shall be final and binding on all parties
concerned. (See also Section 5.01 of these General Conditions.) The Landscape
Architect will provide the Contractor with such information as may be required to
show revised or additional details of construction. The Landscape Architect will
provide full information when errors or omissions in the plans and specifications are
discovered. Any work done by the Contractor, after discovery of such discrepancies,
errors or omissions and prior to a decision by the Landscape Architect, shall be done
at the Contractor's risk.
5.08 SEPARATE CONTRACTS: The Owner reserves the right to let other contracts in
connection with this work. The Contractor shall afford other Contractors reasonable
opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and the execution of
their work and shall properly connect and coordinate the work with that of other
contractors.
If any part of the Contractor's work depends for proper execution or results upon the
work of any other Contractor, the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the
Landscape Architect any defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such
proper execution and results. Failure to so inspect and report shall constitute an
acceptance of the other Contractor's work.
To insure the proper execution of the work, the Contractor shall measure work
already in place and shall at once report to the Landscape Architect any discrepancy
between the executed work and the drawings.
5.09 INSPECTORS: Inspectors may be appointed by the Landscape Architect or Owner
subject to approval by the City Engineer to see that the work is performed in
accordance with the plans and specifications. Inspector qualifications shall be
submitted in writing to the City Engineer.
5.10 EXAMINATION OF COMPLETED WORK: At the request of the Landscape
Architect, the Contractor at any time before acceptance of the work shall remove or
uncover such portions of the finished work as requested. After examination, the
Contractor shall restore said portions of the work to the standard required by the
specifications. Should the work thus exposed or examined prove acceptable, the
uncovering or removing, and the replacing of the covering or making good of the
parts removed shall be paid for as extra work, in accordance with requirements of
Section 9.03 of the General Conditions; but should the work so exposed or examined
prove unacceptable, the uncovering, removing and replacing shall be at the
Contractor's expense.
G-17
5.11
OWNER'S RIGHT TO CORRECT DEFICIENCIES: If the Contractor should
neglect to prosecute the work properly or fail to perform any provision of this
contract, the Owner after ten days' written notice to the Contractor may, without
prejudice to any other remedy, make good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost
thereof from the payment then or thereafter due the Contractor.
G-18
SECTION 6.00 - CONTROL OF MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
6.01
QUALITY OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS: In order to establish standards of
quality, the Landscape Architect has, in the detailed specifications, referred to certain
products by name and catalog number. This procedure is not to be construed as
eliminating from competition other products of equal or better quality by other
manufacturers where fully suitable in design.
Whenever in these specifications, a material or article is specified by using the
specific description or name of proprietary product, or name of a manufacturer or
vendor, rather than by using descriptive detail or substance and function, any article
which will perform the duties imposed adequately and to the same effectiveness as
determined by the Landscape Architect will be acceptable as a substitute in lieu of
the material or articles so specified.
Only materials conforming to the requirements of these specifications shall be used
in the work. The source of any material shall not be changed at any time without the
written approval of the Landscape Architect. The Contractor may be required at any
time to furnish a complete statement of the original, composition and manufacturer
of any or all materials required in the work, or to submit samples of the same.
Unless otherwise specified, all materials shall be new and both workmanship and
material shall be of good quality. The Contractor shall, if required, furnish
satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials or tools used in the work.
All materials, supplies and articles furnished shall, whenever so specified, and
otherwise wherever practicable, be the standard stock products of recognized
reputable manufacturers.
The Contractor shall furnish a complete list of proposed desired substitutions,
together with such engineering and catalog data as the Landscape Architect may
require. List and information must be submitted prior to submittal of first progress
payment estimate.
The Contractor shall abide by the Landscape Architect's judgment when proposed
substitute materials or items of equipment are judged to be unacceptable and shall
furnish the specified material or item of equipment in such case. All proposals for
substitutions shall be submitted in writing by the Contractor and not by individual
trades or material suppliers. The Landscape Architect will approve or disapprove
proposed substitutions in writing within a reasonable time. No substitute materials
shall be used unless so approved in writing.
6.02 TESTING: All testing of materials and workmanship shall be conducted by a
reputable and qualified firm totally independent of the contractor and owner.
6.03 MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS: Manufactured articles, material and
equipment shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned and
conditioned as directed by the manufacturer unless herein specified to the contrary.
G-19
6.04 REJECTED WORK AND MATERIALS: All materials which do not conform to the
requirements of the Contract Documents are not equal to samples approved by the
Landscape Architect, or are in any way unsatisfactory or unsuited to the purpose for
which they are intended, shall be rejected and shall be removed immediately from
the Project, unless otherwise permitted. No materials which have been rejected - the
defects on which have been corrected or removed - shall be used until approval has
been given. If the Contractor does not remove such condemned work and materials
within a reasonable time fixed by written notice, the Owner may remove them and
may store the materials at the expense of the Contractor. If the Contractor does not
pay the expense of such removal within ten days thereafter, the Owner may, upon ten
days' written notice, sell such materials at auction or at private sale and shall account
for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting all the costs and expenses that should
have been borne by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall promptly remove from the premises all materials condemned by
the Landscape Architect as failing to conform to the contract, whether incorporated
in the work or not and the Contractor shall promptly replace and re-execute the work
in accordance with the Contract Documents without expense to the Owner and shall
bear the expense of making good all work of the other contractors destroyed or
damaged by such removal or replacement.
Work done contrary to or regardless of the instructions of the Landscape Architect,
work done without lines, grade or cross stakes and grades shown on the plans or as
given by the Landscape Architect, or any deviation made from the plans and
specifications without written authority will be considered unauthorized and at the
expense of the Contractor and will not be measured or paid for by the Owner. Any
and all work so done may be ordered removed and replaced immediately at the
Contractor's expense.
6.05 MATERIALS FURNISHED BY THE OWNER: Materials specifically indicated
will be furnished by the Owner. The fact that the Owner is to furnish material is
conclusive evidence of its acceptability for the purpose intended, and the Contractor
may continue to use it until otherwise directed. The Contractor shall notify the
Landscape Architect upon discovering any defect in materials furnished by the
Owner. Materials furnished by the Owner, which are not of local occurrence, will be
provided at locations listed on plans or in specifications. After receipt of the material
the Contractor shall be responsible for material loss or damage, including that caused
by third parties.
6.06 MATERIALS FURNISHED BY THE CONTRACTOR: All materials used in the
work shall meet the requirements of the respective plans and specifications. All
materials not otherwise specifically indicated shall be furnished by the Contractor.

SECTION 7.00 - LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY TO PUBLIC
7.01
INSURANCE: The Contractor shall not commence work under this contract until all
insurance required under the Contract Documents has been obtained and until copies
of certificates thereof are submitted to the Owner; the Contractor shall not allow any
subcontractor to commence work until the insurance required of such subcontractor
has been obtained and copies of policies and certificates submitted to the Owner.
During the term of this contract, the Contractor shall maintain such insurance as will
protect the Contractor from claims as set forth below which may arise out of or from
the Contractor's operations under the contract, whether such operations be by the
Contractor, or by a subcontractor, or sub-subcontractor or anyone directly or
indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may
be held liable:
(a) For claims arising under any Workmen's Compensation, Employers Liability,
or any similar employee benefit.
(b) For claims because of bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death of any person
or persons other than his employees, and for claims because of damage to or
destruction of property of others resulting therefrom, including loss of use
thereof
Such insurance shall be written for amounts not less than the following as respects
subparagraph (a) above:
Workmen's Compensation.................................................................... Statutory
Employers Liability................................................. $500,000 Each Occurrence
and as respects subparagraph (b):
Bodily Injury and Property

The insurance referred to in subparagraph (b) above shall be written under the
Comprehensive General and Comprehensive Automobile Liability policy forms,
including coverage for all owned, hired, and non-owned automobiles. The Contractor
has the option to provide the limits of liability as set out above by a combination of
the above described policy forms and an Umbrella Excess Liability policy.
G-21
It is a condition of the contract that the policy or policies afford coverage for damage
to property of others arising out of the perils of explosion, collapse, and damage to
underground facilities, and it is a further condition that the policy or policies afford
the same limits of liability as set out in "Contractor's Responsibilities" of the General
Conditions.
All responsibility for payment of any sums resulting from any deductible provision,
corridors, or self-insured retention conditions or the policy or policies shall remain
with the Contractor.
It is a condition of the contract that the policy or policies waive any and all
governmental immunity as a defense in any action brought against the insured or any
other party to the contract.
All insurance policies and certificates shall be submitted prior to the execution of the
contract and shall be subject to the approval of the Owner.
Approval of the insurance by the Owner shall not in any way relieve or decrease the
liability of the Contractor hereunder, and it is expressly understood that the
Owner/Landscape Architect do not in any way represent that the above specified
insurance or limits of liability are sufficient or adequate to protect the Contractor's
interests or liabilities.
Evidence of the above required insurance shall be furnished on a Certificate of
Insurance form satisfactory to the Owner.
Copies of all certificates evidencing such insurance shall be filed with the Owner.
The certificates shall be executed by the insurer and shall expressly stipulate that the
policies are non-cancelable prior to expiration of the contract period, unless ten days'
notice in writing to the Owner shall be filed with the Owner. Certificates for liability
policies must show that the City and Landscape Architect are additional insureds.
G-22
SECTION 8.00 - PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
8.01
DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME: The Contractor herewith
specifically waives claims for damages for any hindrance, delay, or change of
sequencing. The Contractor will, in lieu thereof, be granted extensions of time for
which liquidated damages will not be claimed by the Owner for the following
causes: A delay caused the Contractor by any suit or other legal action against the
Owner will entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time unless the period
of such delay exceeds 90 days.
When such period is exceeded, the Owner will, upon request by the Contractor in
writing, either terminate the contract, or grant a further extension of time, whichever
as may at that time appear most desirable to both parties.
If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the work by any act of
neglect of the Owner or the Landscape Architect or any employees of either, or by
any other Contractor employed by the Owner, or by strike, fire, unusual delay in
transportation, unavoidable casualties, or other causes beyond the Contractor's
control, or by any cause which, in the opinion of the Landscape Architect, shall
justify the delay, then the time of completion shall be extended for such reasonable
time as the Landscape Architect may decide. No such extension shall be made for
delay occurring more than seven days before claim therefore is made in writing to
the Landscape Architect.
Shutdowns due to improper work, or otherwise due the Contractor's operation, are
not cause for extension of time.
If during the term of this contract, the volume of the specified work, measured in
dollars, is increased over the total value shown in the Contractor's proposal at the
time the award of contract is made, the Contractor will be granted an extension
proportionately equal to the increase in the total value. Should unforeseen conditions
require the performance under an extra work order, the work more complex or dif-
ficult than that originally specified and shown on the plans, and such work, in the
Contractor's opinion, requires more time to execute than the proportional increase in
dollar value, the Contractor shall state to the Landscape Architect, in writing, prior to
the performance of such work, his estimate of the added time required for such work.
The Owner will, if such estimate be reasonable, allow an added extension of time
equal to the difference between the total time required and the proportional increase
in the dollar value of the work.
8.02 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: After being
awarded the contract, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Landscape
Architect for approval a bar chart progress schedule which will insure the completion
of the project within the time specified.
The date of beginning and the time for completion of the work are essential
conditions of the Contract Documents and the work embraced shall be commenced
on the date specified in the notice to proceed and shall be completed on the date
specified in the special provisions.
G-23
The Contractor will proceed with the work at such rate of progress to insure full
completion within the contract time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and
between the Contractor and the Owner, that the contract time for the completion of
the work described herein is a reasonable time, taking into consideration the average
climatic and economic conditions and other factors prevailing in the locality of the
work.
If the Contractor shall fail to satisfactorily complete any portion of work under this
contract by the specified completion date, the Owner shall deduct from the payments
due the Contractor liquidated damages for each and every calendar day that the work
remains uncompleted beyond the completion date.
Due to the difficulty in precisely determining Owner's damages for late completion,
the Contractor will be assessed a daily charge, not as a penalty but as liquidated
damages to compensate Owner for the additional costs caused by the delay.
Contractor agrees that the daily amount of liquidated damages is a reasonable
estimate of Owner's damages for late completion. In addition, the Contractor shall
pay the inspector's hours, travel, and any other associated costs for all inspection
work required past the completion date.
If such payments due the Contractor are less than the amount of such liquidated
damages, said damages shall be deducted from any other moneys due or to become
due the Contractor, and in case such damages shall exceed the amount of all moneys
due to the Contractor, then the Contractor or the surety shall pay the balance to the
Owner.

8.03 OWNER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE CONTRACT AND COMPLETE THE
WORK: The Owner has the right to terminate the employment of the Contractor for
any of the following reasons:
(1) The Contractor is adjudged bankrupt, makes a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or becomes insolvent;
(2) Failure of Contractor to supply adequate properly skilled workmen or proper
materials;
G-24
(3) Failure of Contractor to make prompt payment to subcontractor for material
or labor;
(4) Persistent and continuing disregard of laws, ordinances, or proper
instructions of the Landscape Architect;
(5) Assignment of work without permission of the Owner;
(6) Abandonment of the work by Contractor;
(7) Failure to meet the work progress schedule set forth in the contract;
Termination of the contract shall be preceded by seven days written notice by the
Owner to the Contractor and the surety stating the ground for termination and the
measures if any which must be taken to assure compliance with the contract. The
contract shall be terminated at the expiration of such seven day period unless the
Owner shall withdraw its notice of termination.
Upon termination of the contract by the Owner, the Owner may complete the work
required by the contract by whatever means deemed expedient, including requiring
the Contractor's surety to complete the work.
The taking over of the work by the Owner upon contract termination shall not affect
the right of the Owner to recover liquidated damages from the Contractor or the
surety for failure to complete contract.
In the event that the Contractor involuntarily abandons the work, fails or refuses to
complete the work embodied in the contract or fails to pay just claims for labor or
material, the Owner reserves the right to charge against the Contractor all extra legal,
Engineering, or other costs resulting from such abandonment, failure or refusal. -
Legal costs will include the Owner's cost of prosecuting or defending any suit in
connection with such abandonment, failure or refusal, and nonpayment of claims
wherein the Owner is made codefendant, and the Contractor agrees to pay all such
costs, including reasonable attorney's fees.
When the Owner assumes control of the work under the contract pursuant to
termination, the Owner may take possession of the work and all material, tools, and
equipment therein belonging to the Contractor and may use the same to complete the
work at Contractor's expense.
Upon contract termination, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further
payment until the work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price
exceeds the expense of finishing the work, including compensation for additional
managerial and administrative services, the excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If
such expense exceeds the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to
the Owner. The expenses incurred by the Owner as herein provided and the damages
incurred through the Contractor's default shall be certified by the Landscape
Architect and Owner.
G-25
8.04 CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE CONTRACT: The Contractor may
terminate contract upon ten days' written notice to the Owner and the Landscape
Architect for any of the following reasons:
(1) If an order of any court or other public authority caused the work to be
stopped or suspended for a period of 90 days through no act of fault of the
Contractor or his employees.
(2) If the Owner should fail to act upon any request for payment, in the manner
set forth in the General Conditions, within 45 days after its approval by the
Landscape Architect.
(3) If the Owner should fail to pay the Contractor any sum within 45 days after
its award by arbitrators.
