THIS CONTRACT, made and entered into on May 2—d, 2023, by and between the
CITY OF ASPEN, Colorado, hereinafter called the "City", and Black Diamond

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and Contracts herein contained,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Construction of Project. Contractor agrees to furnish all labor, materials,
tools, machinery, equipment, temporary utilities, transportation and any other facilities
needed therefor, and to complete in a good, workmanlike and substantial manner the
Project as described in the Scope of Work and/or Proposal appended hereto as Exhibit
"A" which is incorporated herein as if fully set forth (the "Project").
2. Plans and Specifications; Compliance with Laws. The Project is to be
constructed and completed in strict conformance with the Scope of Work and/or Proposal
appended hereto for the same approved in writing by the parties hereto. The Project shall
also be constructed and completed in strict compliance with all laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations of all applicable governmental authorities, and the City of Aspen Procurement
Code, Title 4 of the Municipal Code, including the approval requirements of Section 4-

pay all fees therefor and all other fees required by such governmental authorities.
3. Payments to Contractor. In consideration of the covenants and
Contracts 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 Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand, Eight Hundred and Seventy Dollars and
Seventy -One Cents. ($ 266,870.71) DOLLARS or as shown on Exhibit "A".

hereunder immediately upon execution hereof, to prosecute said work thereafter
diligently and continuously to completion, and in any and all events to substantially

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
CC5-971.doc Page: I
DocuSign Envelope ID: C4A7B263-A357-47F5-AF88-C7FOBOB2199A
used in connection with or arising out of the Project, and shall obtain periodic releases
from all 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
CC5-971 Am Page: 2
DocuSign Envelope ID: C4A7B263-A357-47F5-AF88-C7FOBOB2199A
expense thereof shall 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 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 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.
14. Indemnification. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
City, its officers, employees, insurers, and self-insurance pool, from and against all liability,
claims, and demands, on account of injury, loss, or damage, including without limitation
claims arising from bodily injury, personal injury, sickness, disease, death, property loss or
damage, or any other loss of any kind whatsoever, which arise out of or are in any manner
connected with this contract, to the extent and for an amount represented by the degree or
percentage such injury, loss, or damage is caused in whole or in part by, or is claimed to be
caused in whole or in part by, the wrongful act, omission, error, contractor error, mistake,
negligence, or other fault of the Contractor, any subcontractor of the Contractor, or any
officer, employee, representative, or agent of the Contractor or of any subcontractor of the
Contractor, or which arises out of any workmen's compensation claim of any employee of
the Contractor or of any employee of any subcontractor of the Contractor. The Contractor
agrees to investigate, handle, respond to, and to provide defense for and defend against, any
such liability, claims or demands at the sole expense of the Contractor, or at the option of the
City, agrees to pay the City or reimburse the City for the defense costs incurred by the City
in connection with, any such liability, claims, or demands. If it is determined by the final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such injury, loss, or damage was caused
in whole or in part by the act, omission, or other fault of the City, its officers, or its
employees, the City shall reimburse the Contractor for the portion of the judgment
attributable to such act, omission, or other fault of the City, its officers, or employees.
