and other Contractors to the extent that there are comparable provisions for the benefit of the
Contractor in said direct Contracts between the County and such utility owners and other
Contractors.

upon the work of any such other Contractor or utility owner (or the County), the Contractor shall
inspect and promptly report to the Procurement Officer in writing any delays, defects or
deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or unsuitable for such proper execution and
results. The Contractor's failure to report such conditions will constitute an acceptance of the
other work as fit and proper for integration with the Contractor's Project except for latent or non-
apparent defects and deficiencies in the other work.

guarantee required by the Contract Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract
Documents, any Project work is found to be defective, the Contractor shall promptly without cost to
County and in accordance with County's written instructions, either correct such defective Project
work, or, if it has been rejected by County, remove it from the site and replace it with non-defective
Project work. If the Contractor does not promptly (within seven (7) days for receipt) comply with
the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or
damage, the County may have the defective Project work corrected or the rejected Project work
removed and replaced, and all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such removal and

the Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, the County may,
after seven days' written notice to the Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In
exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph the County shall proceed expeditiously to the
extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action. The County may exclude the
Contractor from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Project, and suspend the
Contractor's services related thereto, take possession of the Contractor's tools, appliances,
construction equipment and machinery at the site and incorporate in the Project all materials and
equipment stored at the site or for which the County has paid the Contractor but which are stored
elsewhere. The Contractor shall allow the County, the County's representatives, agents and
employees such access to the site as may be necessary to enable the County to exercise the rights and
remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of the County in
exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against the Contractor, and a Change Order will
be issued by the County incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract price. Such direct,
indirect and consequential costs will include but not be limited to fees and charges of engineers,
\~
I-!i.
architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court costs and all costs of repair and replacement of
work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of the Contractor's
defective Project work. The Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract time
because of any delay in performance of the Project work attributable to the exercise by the County of
the County's rights and remedies hereunder.
xn. LiQuidated Damages.
A. Time for Completion. It is hereby understood and mutually agreed, by and
between the Contractor and the County, that the date of beginning Project work and the time of
completion as specified herein are essential conditions of the Contract. The Contractor agrees that
said Project shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently, and at such rate of progress as will ensure
completion within the time(s) specified. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the
Contractor and the County, that the time(s) for completion of the Project described herein are
reasonable time(s) for the completion of the Project, taking into consideration the average climatic
conditions prevailing in the locality of the Project.
B. Time is of the Essence to the Contract. It is further agreed that time is of the
essence in completing the Project, and that the Project Work Schedule and all dates set forth therein
and where in this Contract, an additional time is allowed for the completion of the Project, the new
time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence of the Contract.
C. Liquidated Damages. Completion of the Project is of paramount importance to the
County. If any portion of the Project is not completed in accordance with any time extensions
granted by the County, the County will suffer damage, the extent of which will be impractical and
extremely difficult to estimate accurately. Therefore, as part of the consideration for executing the
Contract, it is hereby agreed that the Contractor shall pay to the County the liquidated damage
amounts specified in the Contract. This particular provision shall not be construed as a penalty upon
said Contractor for failing fully to complete said Project as agreed in the Proposal and this Contract
nor is it intended, but as Liquidated Damages to compensate the County for all costs incurred as a
result of such breach of Contract.
D. Delays in Project Completion of Construction Phase. Subject to the terms of
"Excusable Delays", as contained in paragraph J(5) of this Section, the Contractor expressly agrees to
pay the County as a reasonable estimate of just compensation for damages contemplated with the
clause, the amount set forth in the Liquidated Damages Form for each consecutive calendar day that
completion is delayed in the construction of the Project.
E. Excusable Delays - Force Majeure. If, by reason of Force Majeure, any party hereto
shall be rendered unable wholly or in part to carry out its obligations under this Contract then such
party shall give notice and full particulars of such Force Majeure in writing to the other party within
a reasonable time after occurrence of the event or cause relied upon, and the obligation of the party
giving such notice, so far as it is affected by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the
continuance of the liability then claimed, but for no longer period, and any such party shall remove
or overcome such inability with all reasonable dispatch. The term Force Majeure as employed herein,
shall mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts, or other industrial disturbances, acts of public enemy,
orders of any kind of the Government of the United States or the State of Colorado or any political
subdivision, except the County, or any civil or military authority, insurrection, riots, epidemics,
landslides, lightning, earthquakes, tires, hurricanes, storms, floods, washouts, droughts, arrests,
restraint of government and people, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage or accidents to
machinery, pipelines, or canals, or other causes not reasonably within the control of the party
claiming such inability. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes and lockouts shall be
v
N:
entirely within the discretion of the party having the difficulty, and that the above requirement that
any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of
strikes and lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or parties when such
settlement is unfavorable to it in the judgment of the party having the difficulty.
F. Cumulative Remedy. The liquidated damages referred to herein are intended to be
and are cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy now or hereafter enforceable at
law, in equity, by statute, or under Contract.
XIV. Termination of Contract.
A. The County may terminate this Contract upon the occurrence of anyone or more of

of general administration of such property for the benefit of Contractor's creditors;
5. If the Contractor persistently fails to perform the Project in accordance with
this Contract including but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or
suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the work schedule established in this

any public body having jurisdiction;

terminate this Contract, with or without cause, by giving written notice to the Contractor of such
termination and specifying the effective date thereof. Such notice shall be given at least ten (10)
days before the effective date of such termination. In such event all finished or unfinished
documents, data, studies and reports prepared by the Contractor pursuant to this Contract shall
become the County's property. Contractor shall be entitled to receive compensation in
