5 studied estimate of loss to the Owner in the event of a delay considering the following
6 damage items which are extremely difficult or impossible to determine: Additional
7 construction expense resulting from delay of completion including, but not limited to,
8 engineering, inspection, rental and utilities; provided, however, the Owner may
9 conditionally accept the work and occupy and use the same if there has been such a

11 the use for which it is intended and in such cases the Contractor and Surety shall not be
12 charged for liquidated damages for any period subsequent to such conditional
13 acceptance and occupation by the Owner but Owner may assess actual damages
14 caused by failure of total completion during such period. The time during which the
15 Contractor is delayed in said work by the acts or neglects of the Owner or its employees
16 or those under it by contract or otherwise, or by the acts of God which the Contractor
17 could not have reasonably foreseen and provided for, or by storms and inclement
18 weather which delays the work, or by any strikes, boycotts, or like obstructive action by
19 employee or labor organizations, or by any general lockouts or other defensive action
20 by employers, whether general, or by organizations of employers, shall be added to the
21 time for completion as aforesaid.
22
23
24 ARTICLE IV. COMPENSATION: The Owner agrees to make payments on account
25 thereof as provided in the General Conditions.
26

10 Material price spike adjustment: For the purpose of this clause, a "major spike" is
11 defined as a spike in a specific material cost of more than 25% above what the cost of
12 that material was on the date the Construction Task Catalog®was issued.
13
14 1. In the event a major spike occurs in a specific material cost, the Contractor may
15 submit a request for a price modification to a Unit Price or individual Job Order.
16 In order to initiate such a request, the Contractor shall:
17 a. identify the specific material that has experienced a major spike,
18 b. identify Pre-priced Task(s) or Job Orders that require the material
19 experiencing a major spike, and
20 c. demonstrate that the spike exists by submitting a minimum of three quotes
21 on material supplier letterhead to show that the current price meets the
22 "major spike" definition above.
23
24 2. Fresno County, after review of a request, may elect to adjust the Unit Price or Job
25 Order by considering it a Non Pre-priced (NPP) item. The adjustment will be for
26 the difference between the material cost at the time the Construction Task
27 Catalog®was issued times the quantity stated in the Job Order. The adjustment
28 will not include any other markup, and the NPP adjustment factor will not apply.
29
30
31 ARTICLE V. TERM: The Term of the Job Order Contract shall be for one (1) year, or
32 when issued Work Orders totaling the Maximum Contract Value have been completed,
33 whichever occurs first. All Work Orders shall be issued, but not necessarily completed
34 within one calendar year after the commencement date of this Agreement.
35
36 All Work Orders for which a Notice to Proceed is issued by the County Contract Manager
37 during the term of this Contract shall be valid and in effect notwithstanding that the
38 Detailed Scope of Work may be performed, payments may be made, and the guarantee
39 period may continue, after the Contract Term has expired. All terms and conditions of
40 the Contract apply to each Work Order. No notices to proceed will be issued after 5:00,
41 P.M. on the final day of the Contract Term.
42
43

45 become effective only when written in the form of an amendment approved and signed
46 by the Owner and the Contractor.
47
48 The Contractor and the Owner agree that the Owner shall have the right to request any
49 alterations, deviations, reductions or additions to the Detailed Scope of Work of the
50 individual Work Orders or specifications or any of them, and the amount of the cost
51 thereof shall be handled by issuance of a Supplemental Work Order.

1 This contract shall be deemed completed when the work of all individual Work Orders is

3 such change or modification shall release or exonerate any surety upon any guaranty or
4 bond given in connection with this contract.
5
6
7 ARTICLE VII. In the event of a dispute between the Owner or Project Manager and the
8 Contractor as to an interpretation of any of the specifications or as to the quality of
9 sufficiency of material or workmanship, the decision of the Project Manager shall for the
10 time being prevail and the Contractor, without delaying the job, shall proceed as directed
11 by the Project Manager without prejudice to a final determination by negotiation,
12 arbitration by mutual consent or litigation and should the Contractor be finally determined
13 to be either wholly or partially correct, the Owner shall reimburse him for any added costs
14 they may have incurred by reason of work done or material supplied beyond the terms
15 of the contract as a result of complying with the Project Manager's directions as
16 aforesaid. In the event the Contractor shall neglect to prosecute the work properly or
17 fail to perform any provisions of this contract, the Owner, after three days' written notice
18 to the Contractor, may, without prejudice to any other remedy it may have, make good
19 such deficiencies and may deduct the cost thereof from the payment then or thereafter
20 due to the Contractor, subject to final settlement between the parties as in this paragraph
21 hereinabove provided.
22
23
24 ARTICLE VIII. TERMINATION: If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if
25 they should make a general assignment for the benefit of their creditors, or if a receiver
26 should be appointed on account of their insolvency, or if they or any of their
27 subcontractors should persistently violate any of the provisions of the contract, or if they
28 should persistently or repeatedly refuse or should fail, except in cases for which
29 extension of time is provided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or proper
30 material, or if they should fail to make prompt payment to subcontractors or for material
31 or labor or persistently disregard laws, ordinances or the instructions of the Project
32 Manager, then the Owner may, upon the certificate of the Project Manager, when
33 sufficient cause exists to justify such action, serve written notice upon the Contractor
34 and their surety of its intention to terminate the contract, such notice to contain the
35 reasons for such intention to terminate the contract, and unless within five (5) days after
36 the serving of such notice, such violations shall cease and satisfactory arrangements for
37 correction thereof be made, the contract shall, upon the expiration of said five days,
38 cease and terminate.
39
40 In the event of any such termination, the Owner shall immediately serve written notice
41 thereof upon the surety and the Contractor, and the surety shall have the right to take
42 over and perform the contract, provided, however, that if the surety within ten (10) days
43 after the serving upon it of notice of termination does not give the Owner written notice
44 of its intention to take over and perform the contract or does not commence performance
45 thereof within the ten (10) days stated above from the date of the serving of such notice,
46 the Owner may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or
47 by any other method it may deem advisable for the account and at the expense of the
48 Contractor, and the Contractor and their surety shall be liable to the Owner for any
49 excess cost occasioned the Owner thereby, and in such event the Owner may without
50 liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing the work, such
51 materials, appliances, plant and other property belonging to the Contractor as may be
52 on the site or the work and necessary therefore. In such case, the Contractor shall not
53 be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished.
