which is incorporated herein as if fully set forth (the "Project").
2. Plans and Specifications; Compliance with Laws. The Project is to be

Code,Title 4 of the Municipal Code, including the approval requirements of Section 4-08-

herein contained being performed and kept by Contractor, including the supplying of all
labor,materials and services required by this Contract,and the construction and completion
of the Project, City agrees to pay Contractor a sum not to exceed Seventy-one thousand
nine hundred and eighty ($71 9. 80.00)DOLLARS or as shown on Exhibit "A".
4. Commencement and Completion. Contractor agrees to commence work
hereunder immediately upon execution hereof, to prosecute said work thereafter diligently
and continuously to completion, and in any and all events to substantially complete the
same not later than July 30, 2020, subject to such delays as are permissible under the
"Extension of Time for Completion"section of this Contract.
5. Payment of Bills and Charges. Contractor shall pay promptly all valid bills
and charges for material, labor, machinery,equipment or any other service or facility used
in connection with or arising out of the Project, and shall obtain periodic releases from all
CC5-971.doe Page: I
subcontractors and material suppliers supplying labor or materials to the Project
concurrently with Contractor's delivering any payment to such subcontractors and material
suppliers. Contractor shall indemnify and hold City and City's officers,employees,agents,
successors and assigns free and harmless against all expenses and liability suffered or
incurred in connection with the claims of any such subcontractors or material suppliers,
including but not limited to court costs and attorney's fees resulting or arising therefrom;
provided that Contractor shall be excused from this obligation to the extent that City is in
arrears in making the payments to Contractor. Should any liens or claims of lien be filed
of record against the Property, or should Contractor receive notice of any unpaid bill or
charge in connection with construction of the Project, Contractor shall immediately either
pay and discharge the same and cause the same to be released of record, or shall furnish
City with the proper indemnity either by title policy or by corporate surety bond in the
amount of 150%of the amount claimed pursuant to such lien.
6. Releases. Contractor shall, if requested by City, before being entitled to
receive any payment due, furnish to City all releases obtained from subcontractors and
material suppliers and copies of all bills paid to such date,properly receipted and identified,
covering work done and the materials furnished to the Project and showing an expenditure
of an amount not less than the total of all previous payments made hereunder by City to
Contractor.
7. Hierarchy of Project Documents. This Contract and the Proposal or Scope of
Work appended hereto as Exhibit"A"are intended to supplement one another. In case of
conflict, however, this Contract shall control both.
8. Changes in the Work. Should the City at any time during the progress of
the work request any modifications,alterations or deviations in, additions to, or omissions
from this Contract or the Proposal/Scope of Work, it shall be at liberty to do so, and the
same shall in no way affect or make void this Contract; but the amount thereof shall be
amortized over the remaining term of this Contract and added to or deducted, as the case
may be, from the payments set forth in Paragraph 3 above by a fair and reasonable
valuation,based upon the actual cost of labor and materials. This Contract shall be deemed
to be completed when the work is finished in accordance with the original Proposal or
Scope of Work as amended or modified by such changes, whatever may be the nature or
the extent thereof. The rule of practice to be observed in fulfillment of this paragraph shall
be that, upon the demand of either City or Contractor, the character and valuation of any
or all changes, omissions or extra work shall be agreed upon and fixed in writing, signed
by City and Contractor, prior to performance.
9. Contractor's Failure to Perform. Should Contractor, at any time during
the progress of the work, refuse or fail to supply sufficient material or workmen for the
expeditious progress of said work or fail to perform any other provisions of this Contract,
City may, upon giving notice in writing to Contractor as provided herein and upon
Contractor's failure to remedy any such failure within 3 days from receipt of such notice,
terminate this Contract and provide the necessary material and workmen to finish the work
and may enter upon the Property for such purpose and complete said work. The expense
thereof shalt be deducted from the payments remaining under Paragraph 3 above, or if the
total cost of the work to City exceeds the amount of such remaining payments, Contractor
CC5-971.doc Page:2
shall pay to City upon demand the amount of such excess in addition to any and all other
damages to which City may be entitled. In the event of such termination, City may take
possession of all materials, equipment and appliances belonging to Contractor upon or
adjacent to the Property upon which said work is being performed and may use the same
in the completion of said work. Such termination shall not prejudice or be exclusive of any
other legal rights which City may have against Contractor.
10. Extension of Time for Completion. Time is of the essence of this Contract
and Contractor shall substantially complete the work during the time provided for herein.
However, the time during which Contractor is delayed in said work by (a) the acts of City
or its agents or employees or those claiming under Contract with or permission from City,
or(b) the acts of God which Contractor could not have reasonably foreseen and provided
against, or (c) unanticipated stormy or inclement weather which necessarily delays the
work, or (d) any strikes, boycotts or obstructive actions by employees or labor
organizations and which are beyond the control of Contractor and which it cannot
reasonably overcome,or(e)the failure of City to make progress payments promptly, shall
be added to the time for completion of the work by a fair and reasonable allowance.
Contractor recognizes, however, that the site of the work is in the Rocky Mountains at a
high elevation where inclement whether conditions are common. This fact has been
considered by Contractor in preparing its Proposal and or agreeing to the Scope of Work.
Furthermore, Contractor shall have the right to stop work if any payment, including
payment for extra work, is not made to Contractor as provided in this Contract. In the
event of such nonpayment, Contractor may keep the job idle until all payments then due
are received.
11. Unforeseen Conditions. It is understood and agreed that Contractor,
before incurring any other expenses or purchasing any other materials for the Project, shall
proceed to inspect the work site and all visible conditions and that if, at the time of
inspection therefor, the Contractor finds that the proposed work is at variance with the
conditions indicated by the Proposal, Scope of Work, or information supplied by City, or
should Contractor encounter physical conditions below the surface of the ground of an
unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally
recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Contract or inherent in
a work site located in the Rocky Mountains, Contractor shall so notify City, and City shall
at that time have the right and option to immediately cancel and terminate this Contract or
to instruct Contractor to continue the work and add the additional amount attributable to
such unforeseen conditions to the payments due Contractor as set forth above.
It is agreed that in the event of any cancellation by City in accordance with this section,
Contractor shall be paid the actual costs of the work done prior to the time of cancellation.
In computing such costs, building permit fees, insurance and such financing and title
charges as are not refundable shall be included; provided that supervision time, office
overhead and profit shall not be included in such costs to be refunded to Contractor by
reason of such cancellation.
12. Acceptance by City. No payment hereunder nor occupancy of said improvements
or any part thereof shall be construed as an acceptance of any work done up to the time of
such payment or occupancy, but the entire work is to be subject to the inspection and
CC5-971.doe Page:3
approval of City at the time when Contractor notifies City that the Project has been
completed.
13. Notice of Completion; Contractor's Release. City agrees to sign and file of
record within five(5)days after the substantial completion and acceptance of the Project a
Notice of Completion. If City fails to so record the Notice of Completion within said five
(5) day period, City hereby appoints Contractor as City's agent to sign and record such
Notice of Completion on City's behalf. This agency is irrevocable and is an agency coupled
with an interest. Contractor agrees upon receipt of final payment to release the Project and
property from any and all claims that may have accrued against the same by reason of said
construction. If Contractor faithfully performs the obligations of this Contract on its part
to be performed, it shall have the right to refuse to permit occupancy of any structures by
City or City's assignees or agents until the Notice of Completion has been recorded and
Contractor has received the payment, if any, due hereunder at completion of construction,
less such amounts as may be retained pursuant to mutual Contract of City and Contractor
under the provisions of Paragraph 3 above.

City, its officers, employees, insurers, and self-insurance pool, from and against all liability,

act,omission,or other fault of the City, its officers,or employees.
