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

case of conflict this Contract for Construction shall control.
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

DocuSign Envelope ID: 61300C2D-431E-4DC9-9578-18D335221446
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 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
CCS-971.doc Page: 3 Updated:l/2024
DocuSign Envelope ID: 61300=2 431 E41DC9-9578-18D335221446
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

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.
