U08 -01 -04 City of Boynton Beach East Water Treatment Plant Construction of Replacement Well 12E. A. Background ARCADIS is pleased to submit this proposal for "design build" services in connection with the replacement of Well 12 E at the City of Boynton Beach, East Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Wellfield. The existing Well 12 E has been abandoned and the City requires the well to be replaced in -kind as close to the same site as possible. The well is located near the west boundary of the Forest Park Elementary School site. It is important that all construction is completed before school commences. Therefore, the City requires completion of all drilling, mechanical and civil construction work prior to August 1, 2008. Authorization to proceed must be issued by May 20, 2008 to meet this schedule. This timetable necessitates a "fast track" approach; therefore all construction contracts are to be held and administered by ARCADIS. Preliminary design discussion meetings have already been held, and initial selection of a well construction subcontractor via a competitive proposal process has been completed. The City has requested that all electrical and instrumentation services associated with this replacement well be provided by DCR Engineering Services Inc., the City's preferred instrumentation contractor who is fully familiar with the wellfield. ARCADIS will subcontract DCR Engineering Services. ARCADIS shall perform the services as outlined below for the City of Boynton Beach, hereinafter referred to as the City. B. Scope of Services ARCADIS understands that the project will include: design, construction and start-up of a new well, mechanical piping, electrical and instrumentation, site work; solicitation Page I of 6 of prices for work to be performed; liaison with the South Florida Water Management District for permitting the replacement well; construction of well and associated piping and surface devices. The following items or activities shall be performed by ARCADIS and its team: Task 1 — Design Services Prepare preliminary plans and technical specifications for the proposed well. The design shall include the following: a. Replacement well with final cased and screened diameter of 16 inches outside diameter to approximately 100 feet below land surface. b. Piping and fittings from well head to raw water main including gate valve, check valve, meter and tapping valve for 30 -inch diameter raw water main. c. Surface equipment including 6 -foot fence with 8 -foot wide gate access on the east side, concrete slab for piping, SCADA panel and electrical panel. d. Electrical service from Well 14 E to Well 12 E. e. Survey location for new Well 12 E. Task 2 — Permitting Services The siting of the replacement well and proposed well design modifications make necessary the preparation and submittal of a letter modification to the South Florida Water Management District. ARCADIS will ensure the well construction subcontractor submits a well construction permit application to the Palm Beach County Health Department (PBCHD), and will act as the City's liaison with the permitting agencies during the permitting process. Task 3 Construction Administration ARCADIS will be responsible for construction administration for both construction subcontracts and will provide the following services: Pre - construction Medina, ARCADIS will hold one pre - construction conference with both contractors present. ARCADIS will be responsible for preparing the agenda, chairing and preparing minutes from the meeting. Attendance by the City's Project Manager will be required to - ensure all City requirements are addressed. This meeting will be the formal "kick -off' meeting for the project. Bi- Monthl` Pro Meetin,s, ARCADIS will conduct joint bi- monthly progress meetings with the awarded contractors, and the Citv's Project Manager to ensure the Page 2 of 6 construction schedule is met and all issues that arise are dealt with in a timely manner. ARCADIS will be responsible for preparing the agenda, chairing and preparing minutes from the meetings. Submittal Review. ARCADIS will review submittals from the subcontractors including shop drawings, product data, schedules, and progress payments. ARCADIS will distribute copies of all approved submittals to the City. Pav Requests. ARCADIS will make payment directly to the Contractors. Copies of all contractor payments made will be produced to support all monthly invoices made to the City. Requests for Information. ARCADIS will review and respond to Requests for Information (RFI) and Clarification submitted by the Contractors. Field and Chance Orders., ARCADIS will issue field change orders, requests for quotation, work change directives, and change orders as needed throughout the project. If Change Orders financially impact the project, ARCADIS will request a meeting with the City to review contract modifications prior to approval. An owner - controlled allowance is included under this task order to set against any additional costs. Task 4 - Construction Observation Services ARCADIS will provide all necessary construction oversight services required for both construction subcontracts to ensure compliance with the specifications. Observation services will be provided on an as- needed basis, ensuring all critical construction activities are inspected. This will include the use of qualified field geologists to ensure correct selection of well depth, screen and gravel pack design, well development and testing so that we are confident that the optimum possible well yield with acceptable sand concentrations is obtained from the replacement well. Task 5 — Well Handover and Final Reports Task 5a Proiect Close Out and Start -Un ARCADIS shall conduct project close -out services including: • Conducting substantial completion and final completion inspection and issuing punch lists following each inspection. • Reviewing final close -out change orders and payment requests from the Contractor for agreement with the City. • Obtaining final water quality (bacteriological) sampling in accordance with PBCHD requirements. • Conducting one walk - through inspection with City Utility staff prior to final acceptance by the City. Task 5b Final Report and O &M Manual., ARCADIS shall produce a final report and basic O &M manual for the operation of the well. The final report shall be a technical memo that summarizes well construction, geology, gravel and screen Page 3 of 6 design, pumping test results, baseline well performance and water quality results. As -built information provided by the subcontractors will be incorporated into a final set of Record Drawings which will also form part of the O &M manual. C. Assumptions The above scope is predicated on the assumption that the City shall furnish, at no cost to ARCADIS, all available pertinent information including previous reports, plans, specifications, permits and other data relevant to the performance of the above services for the project. In addition, the City shall designate, in writing, a person to act as the representative for services performed under this agreement. ARCADIS also assumes the following: The City will be responsible for providing a fully functional pump, re- trimmed if necessary and ready for installation. 2. The City will be the liaison for access on the school property. Adequate access is available for completion of all construction, including required lay -down areas for drilling construction. 4. ARCADIS will be responsible for obtaining a well construction permit from PBCHD (via the well contractor), a modification to the SFWMD water use permit, and required electrical permits (via DCR Engineering). It is assumed that general building department permits for the wellhead construction, fencing, and associated piping are not required 5. The well is currently permitted for a depth of 100 feet bls. D. Contract Reference This Task Order shall be performed under the terms and conditions described within the Agreement for General Engineering Consulting Services dated November 18, 2003, and amended with revised labor rates dated February 2008, between the City of Boynton Beach and ARCADIS U.S., Inc. E. Additional Services An owner - controlled allowance of $50,000 has been provided to allow for any additional work not covered by this task order. If additional services are required in the performance of the above scope of services, which must be sublet, ARCADIS shall order the work after obtaining written authorization from the City. If ARCADIS is requested to subcontract any work directly, then a 10% markup will be applied to the subcontractor invoice for risk and coordination services provided ARCAMS. Page 4 of 6 F. Fees ARCADIS Fees for the described tasks are summarized below. Lump -sum prices are proposed. Actual construction sub - contract cost with a mark -up of 10% will be applied to all construction sub - contracts to cover all costs associated with administering these sub - contracts. There are some variables in the construction of the well regarding the depth of the pilot hole, depth of reamed hole, depth of outer casing, depth of inner casing, depth of screening, the quantity of gravel required, additional development time, stand -by time, and hours of step rate testing. A lump -sum contract with additive / deductive amounts for these quantities is proposed. Due to this uncertainty, a construction contingency sum for these unforeseen items is included within the owner - controlled allowance. The fees for this work will be per task as follows: Engineering Services I Task 1 Design Labor Expense Total — Services 1 Task 2 Permitting $11,727 I $440 I $12,167 — Services j Task 3 Construction $4,760 I $110 I $4,870 — Administration 1 $11,910 I $385 $12,295 Task 4 — Construction Oversight j $34,389 $2,365 $36,754 Task 5a — Project Close -out and Start-Up I $8,994 $385 $9,379 Task 5b — Final Report and O &M Manual $11,051 I $550 I $11,601 Engineer Sub -Total I I I $87,066 Well Construction Sub - Contract I I I $251,900 Electrical I &C Sub - Contract I I I $93,198 Construction Sub -Total I I I $345,098 Construction and Engineer Sub -Total I ( $432,165 Owner - controlled allowance I I I $50,000 I TOTAL j I I I I $482,165 H.

All water - bearing strata shall be described in special detail as to whether the material is loose or compact, its color, and, if gravel, whether it is water worn or angular. B. The Contractor shall submit, weekly, to the Engineer one complete copy of each Daily Drilling Log (Work Report) for each well site, via facsimile transmission (on the Friday of the week), during construction and testing activities on the wells. 3.03 STATE REPORTS AND FORMATION SAMPLES A. The Contractor shall submit a well completion report including a drilling log and a detailed "as built" drawing to the Engineer and appropriate regulatory agencies that require it. A well completion report shall be completed by the Contractor and shall be submitted to the agencies listed above within thirty days after completion of the drilling operation. Three additional copies shall be provided to the Engineer. Blank well completion reports shall be secured at the Contractor's expense from the SFWMD. B. During the drilling operations, the Contractor shall collect cutting samples beginning at the ground surface and at regular intervals thereafter, not exceeding five feet and at every change in formation. The Contractor shall collect sufficient 11200 TS -11 G WProgecm\WR\WF PROJECTS \WF0890(X) 0000 - Boynton Beach \Proposal Docs \11200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E sets of samples to satisfy all agencies having an interest plus one sample for the Engineer. Samples shall be kept in containers that will be secured by the Contractor from the appropriate agencies. After being put in their containers, they shall be properly labeled and delivered by the Contractor to the appropriate agencies upon completion of the well. 3.04 WELDED JOINTS - WELDING A. Welding in shop and field shall be done by operators who have been previously qualified in tests as prescribed in the American Welding Society Standard Qualification Procedure to perform the type of work required. Welding of well casing shall be done in accordance with AWWA Standards for Mill -Type Steel Water Pipe (AWWA C202 -64). Field welding of stainless steel well screens shall be done in accordance with printed recommendations of the screen manufacturer. Welder qualifications shall be submitted to the Engineer prior to beginning the work. 3.05 WELL CONSTRUCTION A. The intent of this Section of the specifications is to provide for the construction of one (1) replacement public water supply well. The well is to be of the type and characteristics described in "Part 1 - General" in this section of the specifications. The estimated size and depth of casing and screen for the well are as follows with depths measured from the surface of the ground: ITEM DEPTH 1. 16 -inch Steel Inner Casing (ft.) 0 -90 2. 16 -inch S.S. Screen (ft.) 70 -170 3. 16 -inch "Tightwind" Sump (ft.) 170 -175 4. 24 -inch Steel Outer Casing (ft.) 0 -90 5. Total Well Depth (ft.) 165 B. Other than the outer casing and inner casing specified, any other casings used are at the contractor's option. The cost of furnishing and installing, or installing and pulling out any surface casing or pit casing that might be needed temporarily for the drilling operations shall be included in the unit price for construction of the well.. C. The well boring and all permanent casing shall be constructed and all casing set round, plumb and true to line. Plumbness is specified as 2/3 of the inside casing diameter per 100 feet of casing pipe. To demonstrate the compliance of the work with this requirement, the Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools and equipment and shall make the test described herein. Test for plumbness and alignment shall 11200 TS -12 G \AProjects\WR \WF PROJECTS \WF089000.0000 - Boynton Beach \Proposal Docs\l 1200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E be made after the complete construction of the well and before its acceptance. The cost of accomplishing one plumbness and alignment test shall be included in the contract price. No additional payments will be made for making any additional tests. In order to demonstrate that each well is plumb and aligned, it shall be tested in accordance with paragraph 3.07 "PLUMBNESS AND ALIGNMENT TEST ", prior to acceptance. Because the Plumbness and Alignment Test will take place after the casing is cemented, the Contractor is advised to take whatever measures are necessary to assure himself that the well is plumb and aligned throughout construction. D. The well casing shall be installed without bumping or any driving to prevent damage to welded joints or threaded couplings. The Contractor shall keep an accurate record, as assembled, of the order, number, size, and lengths of the individual pieces of casing installed in the well. E. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to reduce to a minimum the nuisances of drilling the well. In all cases, the Contractor shall use mud tanks and all the necessary equipment to prevent the use of a mud pit. Location of all equipment and tools shall be such as to provide uninterrupted access to any private property or to road traffic. F. The artificially gravel - packed well is to be constructed by rotary drilling, and shall be drilled to the depth where the outer casing is to be seated with a hole of a diameter at least four (4) inches greater than the outside diameter of the casing. The hole shall be drilled to the required depth to receive casing and permit grouting. Outer casing then shall be lowered to the exact depth determined in the field, centered in the hole, held in place with sufficient spacers (centralizers) to maintain true alignment, and then grouted with a neat cement grout. The grout shall be proportioned of cement and the minimum quantity of water (not over six gallons per cubic foot of cement) required to give a mixture of such consistency that it can be forced through grouting pipes. Bentonite or equal may be used up to three percent (3 %) by volume to reduce shrinkage. The grout mixture, method of mixing and consistency of the grout shall be approved by the Engineer. The top of the casing to be grouted shall be left with not less than twenty -four (24) inches above the ground. G. The grout shall be placed in such a manner that surface water and other impurities will be prevented from entering the well by infiltration along the bore and casing. Grouting of casing shall be accomplished in the presence of the Engineer or his representative, in one continuous operation. The method of grouting shall be by pumping the grout from the bottom of the outside casing to the ground surface, completely filling the annular space between the borehole and casing. Spacers (centralizers) used to center the casing in the borehole shall be clean and of a curable material. The grout shall be allowed to set for 72 hours before any work may be done which would disturb it or allow it to crack. If 11200 TS -13 G \AProgects \WR \WF PROJECTSWU089000. WW - Boynton Beach\Proposal D­\1 1200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E quick- setting cement is used, the setting period may be reduced to 24 hours. The Contractor shall take care to protect the grout from damage and insure the proper curing during the setting period. The Contractor shall "top off' the grout to land surface after the setting period if settling and shrinkage occurs during setting. H. Drilling operations shall continue, after the 24 -hour or longer waiting period required for setting up the cement grout, to the depth determined to set the bottom of the screen. The diameter of this part of the hole shall be at least seven (7) inches greater than the outside diameter of the screen. Rotary drilling through the section where the screen is to be set shall be done only with water. In the event the use of drilling additive is required, the Contractor shall first obtain approval from the Engineer. The Contractor shall thereafter make every effort to maintain the integrity of the subsurface formation in which the well screen will be placed and to remove all additives from this formation immediately after setting of the well screen and gravel. In order to minimize damage to the formation and develop the maximum well yield possible, the "screen zone" shall be drilled and the well screen and gravel pack set in one continuous operation on the same day. The well screen shall not be lowered into the well until the Engineer or his representative has verified that its dimensions and characteristics correspond with those approved for that particular well. Screens not meeting the approved conditions or showing any appreciable damage or deformation shall be rejected. Due precautions shall be taken during handling and lowering of the screens into the well to prevent any damage or deformation. The screen shall have no change of alignment after installation. Development shall commence as soon as possible after installation of the screen and gravel pack. The depth at which the screen is set shall be approved by the Engineer. The screen and inner casing shall then be lowered to the approved depth and set within plus or minus three (3) inches of that depth. The screen and inner casing shall be installed with suitable heavy steel stave -type centering guides to ensure that the inner casing is perfectly concentric with the outer casing and that the screen is concentric with the hole below the outer casing. The centering guides shall be as manufactured by Johnson Screens, St. Paul, Minnesota, or an equal approved by the Engineer (See Section 2.08). K. After the screen and inner casing assembly have been properly installed, filter gravel shall be placed by the tremie method in the presence of the Engineer, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. A crystalline polyphosphate solution (BMRTM or equal) suitable for breaking down any drilling mud will be introduced with the gravel. A complete and homogenous artificial gravel packing then shall be built all around the screen and inner casing, to a level not less than twenty (20) feet above the bottom of the outside casing using the tremie method. Under no conditions shall the Contractor attempt to build the artificial 11200 TS -14 G WProJects\WR \WF PROJECTS\WF089000 0000 - Boynton Beach\Proposal Docs\l 1200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E gravel packing by dumping the filter gravel around the inner casing from the surface of the ground. The Contractor shall keep a record of the amount of gravel added to each well and this information shall be contained in the driller's report and log. Development shall commence as soon as possible after installation of the screen. L. Well construction shall comply with applicable regulations as stated with the following agencies including but not limited to FDEP, SFWMD and Palm Beach County Health Department (PBCHD). 3.06 WELL FLANGES AND CAPPING A Whenever there is inactivity or an interruption in work on the well, the Contractor shall protect the well in such a manner as to effectively prevent either tampering with the well or the entrance of foreign matter into it. The Contractor is responsible for any objectionable material that may fall into the water supply well and its consequences until the completion and acceptance by the Engineer of all work described in these specifications. Upon completion of the well, the Contractor shall cap the well in a manner approved by the Engineer. B. All steel flanges used to fabricate the cover shall meet AWWA Standards for Steel Pipe Flanges, Class D (AWWA C207 -94). The flanges shall be gasketed and bolted in accordance with AWWA Standard C207 -94. The top of casing shall be not less than twenty -four (24) inches above ground level. 3.07 PLUMBNESS AND ALIGNMENT TEST A. Required Test: The well boring shall be constructed and all casing set round, plumb and true to line. Plumbness is specified as 2/3 of the inside casing diameter per 100 feet of casing pipe. To demonstrate the compliance of the work with this requirement, the Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools and equipment and shall make the test described herein. Test for plumbness and alignment shall be made after the complete construction of the well and before its acceptance. The cost of accomplishing one plumbness and alignment test per well shall be included in the contract price. No additional payments will be made for making any additional tests. B. Description of Test: Plumbness and alignment shall be tested for the entire length of the casing. The casing shall be tested by lowering into the casing a section of pipe 40 feet long or a dummy of the same length. The outer diameter of the pipe shall be not more than 1/2 -inch smaller than the inside diameter of the casing being tested. If a dummy is used, it shall consist of rigid spindle with three rings, each ring being not more than 1/2 -inch smaller than the inside diameter of the casing being tested. The ring shall be truly cylindrical and shall 11200 TS -15 G \AProJects\WR\WF PROJECTS \WF089000 0000 - Boynton Beach \Proposal Docs \I 1200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E be placed at each end of the dummy and one ring in the middle thereof. The central number of the dummy shall be rigid so that will maintain the alignment of the axis of the rings. C. Requirement for Plumbness and Alignment: Should the dummy, or pipe, fail to move freely through the length of the casing to the required depth or should the well vary from the vertical in excess of 2/3 of the smallest inside diameter of that part of the well being tested per 100 feet depth, or beyond limitations of this test, the plumbness and alignment of the well shall be corrected by the Contractor at his own expense, and should he fail to correct such faulty alignment or plumbness, the Engineer may refuse to accept the well. The requirements for the plumbness and alignment testing may be waived at the discretion of the Engineer if the Contractor can clearly demonstrate that the requirements have been met. The Contractor is encouraged to demonstrate plumbness and alignment of both inner and outer casings during installation by reasonable methods if he wishes to secure a waiver of the formal plumbness and alignment test upon completion. 3.08 GRAVEL PIPES A. The Contractor shall install a gravel access port as detailed on the drawings, after plumbness and alignment tests have been completed. The gravel access port shall be installed through the outside casing. 3.09 WELL DEVELOPMENT A. Following the construction of the well but before any final pumping tests have been started, the Contractor shall develop and clean out the well. The purpose of the development work is to remove effectively from the well, well walls, well screen, and from the formation immediately adjacent to the well, material like mud, clay, fine particles of sand and/or of shell and any other type of fine material. The Contractor shall develop the well using the air -lift method, horizontal, high - velocity water jetting method and at least one other development method at the discretion of the Contractor with the prior approval of the Engineer. The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a well development plan including a description of the procedure for each method and the equipment to be used prior to development. The Contractor shall demonstrate during development the rate of gravel pack settlement. The gravel pack shall not be allowed to settle to less than 5 feet above the screen during development and shall be replenished during development and upon completion. The well development must be done in a manner that will not cause undue settlement and disturbance of the strata above the water - bearing formation or disturb the seal created around the well casing that provides the natural sanitary protection against vertical seepage along the casing. B. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary pumps, compressors, tools, piping, hoses and other equipment needed to develop the well. The Contractor shall conduct the 11200 TS -16 G \APmlects \WR\WF PROJECTS\WFO89000.0000 - Boynton Beach\Proposal Docs \11200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E well development to give the maximum practical yield of water per foot of drawdown and to extract from the water - bearing formation the practical maximum quantity of such fine materials as may, during the life of the well, be drawn into the casing when the well is pumped continuously under maximum conditions of drawdown. Actual well development, regardless of the method used, shall be conducted for a minimum period of 32 hours, unless directed otherwise by the Owner or Engineer. However, the Contractor shall be responsible and include as part of the Lump Sum bid all expenses necessary to continue well development up to 100 hours. The additional well development time and price per hour shall only apply to aggressive, additional development required after 100 hours of well development have passed. C. Well development shall continue until water pumped from the well at the maximum test - pumping rate is clear and free of sand in the opinion of the Contractor. The Contractor may proceed with step -rate and constant -rate testing at that time. The well will be considered to be developed to its optimal specific capacity when, based on performance of the described step -rate pumping test, the specific capacity at the design rate is equal to or greater than the theoretical specific capacity established from the step -rate testing as determined by the Engineer. The water shall be considered sand -free when the average of samples taken during the constant -rate pumping test contain not more than one part per million (ppm) of sand by weight and no single sample exceeds 2 ppm. Sand content shall be measured using a Rossum Sand Content Tester, installed and operated per manufacturer's instructions. The sand concentration shall be determined by averaging the results of five samples taken at the following intervals during the final (8 -hour) constant -rate pumping test: (1) 15 minutes after the start of the test, (2) after 25 percent of the total pumping test time has elapsed, (3) after 50 percent of the total pumping test time has elapsed, (4) after 75 percent of the total pumping test time has elapsed, and (5) near the end of the pumping test. At the conclusion of the development, the well shall be cleared of all accumulations of sediment to the full depth of the well. The Engineer will notify the Contractor promptly if any development criterion is not met and the Contractor must continue development. If development must be continued based on failure to meet criteria, the Engineer will determine if step -rate and/or constant -rate testing must be repeated at the Contractor's cost. D. After completion of development, the gravel pack shall be left no less than 10 feet and no more than 20 feet above the top of the well screen. E. The Contractor shall provide materials and equipment to perform at least 24 hours of high - velocity water jetting combined with simultaneous pumping (by pump or air lift, as outlined by Driscoll (Driscoll, Fletcher G. 1987, Groundwater and Wells, Johnson Filtration Systems, Inc., pp. 516 -517, 520 -521). The Contractor's equipment shall achieve jetting pressures of at least 100 pounds per square inch (psi) and nozzle velocities of 150 feet per second or more. Four (nozzle orifice) jets (at least' /2 -inch diameter) will be used to achieve a maximum water velocity (of 11200 TS -17 G.\APro1ects\WR \WF PROJECTS \WF089000.00(N) - Boynton Beach \Proposal Docs \11200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E 150 feet per second) at the point of discharge (gauge pressures will be somewhat higher to overcome friction losses). The nozzle jets shall be located at 90- degree spacings and extend to a total nominal diameter of 15 inches (the tool shall be equipped with at least 4, nominal 15 -inch diameter centering guides). The air - reverse hose or drop pipe should be located within 12 feet of the jetting nozzles during development and the jetting tool shall be moved up and down across the length of the screen interval. Development by the high - velocity water jetting method shall continue for a minimum of 24 hours, or until the gravel -pack level stabilizes and the discharge is free of sand to the satisfaction of the Engineer. If water is pumped into the well from the surface through a water jetting tool, the Contractor shall pump out at least 100 gpm during the jetting operation and shall ensure that, during jetting, at least 10 percent more water is discharged from than introduced into the well. F. At least daily, the Contractor perform a 15- minute, constant -rate pumping test using a Contractor's (centrifugal) pump and to measure pumping rate (minimum 75 -gpm pump capacity) and drawdown. This testing shall be included as development time in the contract price. The Engineer may waive the requirement to perform the testing daily, if it is in the best interest of the Client. If the water level is so deep that a well operating centrifugal pump cannot produce a constant rate, the Contractor shall propose and perform this testing using adequate equipment. 3.10 WELL DISINFECTION A. After the well has been completely constructed and developed, it shall be thoroughly cleaned of all foreign substances including tools, timbers, rope, debris of any kind, cement, oil, grease, joint dope and scum. The casing pipe shall be thoroughly swabbed, using alkalies if necessary to remove oil, grease or joint dope. The well shall then be disinfected with a chlorine solution. B. The chlorine solution used for disinfecting the well shall be of such volume and strength and shall be so applied that a minimum concentration of 50 ppm shall be obtained in all parts of the well at static conditions. The chlorine solution shall be introduced into the well in such a manner that the well surfaces above the static level will be completely flushed with the solution. The chlorine solution shall be prepared and applied in a manner approved by the Engineer. The chlorine solution shall remain in the well for a minimum period of two hours. C. Prior to installing the test pump in the well, all interior and exterior parts of the test pump coming in contact with the water in the well shall be disinfected with a five percent (5 %) chlorine solution (chlorine bleach). The method of disinfecting the test pump shall be approved by the Engineer or his representative prior to installing the test pump. 11200 TS -18 6 \APrglects \WR \WF PROJECTSWU089000 MOO - Boynton Beach \Proposal Does \11200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E D. Upon completion of the well and installation of the pump, the Contractor shall disinfect the well in accordance with the requirements and instructions in the latest edition of AWWA Standards for Deep Wells No. A100. The Contractor shall make arrangements for performance of the bacteriological tests for potability of the water. Testing and analysis shall be done in accordance with all requirements of the FDEP and Palm Beach County Health Department. Contractor shall sample and analyze samples (by a certified, approved lab) until 20 consecutive analysis are obtained which indicate acceptable bacteriological results. Any additional disinfection required to provide acceptable bacteriological results shall be at the Contractor's expense. E. Any additional water - quality testing (i. e., primary and/or secondary constituents that may be ordered by the Owner will be performed by the Contractor at cost plus 10 %. 3.11 PUMPING TESTS A. General: Pumping tests as described herein shall be performed for the water supply well. The purpose of the tests is to gather sufficient and accurate data to determine aquifer characteristics and coefficients. The Engineer will inspect the test pump setup in the field, and approve the setup or require changes prior to testing. The Engineer may require the Contractor to alter the setup at any time during testing in order to improve the quality of the test data or adjust to site conditions. B. Test Pump and Equipment: The Contractor shall furnish, install and operate all necessary materials and pumping equipment capable of pumping from the well a minimum of not less than between 300 and 1000 gpm. The test pumping unit shall be a submersible or deep well turbine pump. If a diesel - powered deep well turbine pump is utilized, it shall be powered by a right -angle gear and diesel engine drive. The right -angle gear shall be adequately shielded to prevent personal injury in case of carelessness or equipment failure. Throttling devices shall be furnished for the pumping unit so that the discharge may be reduced to zero gpm. The pumping unit shall be capable of operating continuously for the duration of the pumping test. In the event the Contractor's pumping units should fail and interrupt a pumping test, the Contractor will be penalized for the hours of pumping already performed, and test will be started over at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary discharge conduit for the pumping unit, which shall be sufficient size and length to convey the water being pumped to the point of final discharge as shown on the attached drawings. The Contractor shall furnish, install and operate equipment of approved size and type 11200 TS -19 G WProlects \WR \WF PROJECTS\WF089000 0000 - Boynton Beach\Proposal Docs \I 1200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E for measuring the flow of water, such equipment to be an orifice- manometer set or a turbine -type water meter for accurately determining the discharge rate from 0 gpm to 1000 gpm. Pumped water shall be discharged at least 300 feet from the well or into a free draining surface -water body, in a manner that will cause no nuisance. The Contractor shall obtain any necessary permits to allow this discharge.. Proof of meter calibration (within the previous 3 months) shall be submitted to the Engineer prior to the installation of the pump used for the well testing. The Contractor shall provide a minimum of one experienced employee to be continuously on -site whenever a pumping test is being performed. This employee shall be responsible for operation of the pumping unit and for determining and recording pumping rates during the test. The Contractor's employee will also be expected to determine water elevations in the pumped well and in determining water levels in the observation well, as directed by the Owner/Engineer. C. Pumping Test: After the well has been developed to its maximum capacity per foot of drawdown, the Contractor shall notify the Owner/Engineer and when ordered, the Contractor shall conduct a pumping test of the well. The pumping test and drawdown measurements shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the regulatory agencies but shall not be less than the following requirements. Adequate access for water -level measurements shall be available. The static level prior to pumping shall be recorded. The well shall first be pumped incrementally at 4 flow rates, starting with the lowest rate. The incremental flow rates should be approximately 33 %, 67 %, 100% and 133% of the anticipated operating capacity. Each pumping rate shall be maintained for a period of 30 minutes during which time water level readings shall be taken every minute until the water level stabilizes at which time readings may be taken every 5 minutes for the duration of the 30- minute period. Recovering water levels will be recorded for 30 minutes after each 30- minute pumping (step -rate) period. Upon completion of the incremental tests, the pumping equipment shall be reset to the design rate or a rate determined from the 4 -step test. After water levels have recovered, pumping shall be maintained at that rate for 8 hours. During the 8 -hour period, water level readings shall be taken every 5 minutes for the first 30 minutes of the test and every 15 minutes for the duration of the 8 -hour period. Upon completion of the 8 -hour test, the test pump shall be shut off and recovery measurements of water level shall be taken every 5 minutes for a period of one hour or until such time as the water level returns to its original static level prior to commencing test pumping. All water level readings shall be recorded to the nearest 0.01 of a foot and referenced below the well flange. All information pertaining to the pumping test, including the actual static level shall be recorded on a well test log and six (6) copies of the well test log shall be submitted to the Engineer promptly upon completion of test pumping of the well. The Contractor shall not be required to meet the criterion for sanding during the constant -rate 11200 TS -20 G \APrgects\WR \WF PROJECTS \WF089000 0000 - Boynton Beach\Proposal Does \11200 Replacement Well 12E -final doc Boynton Beach Replacement Well 12E test if the pumping rate exceeds the design rate. D. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that the pumping unit maintains a constant, continuous pumping rate without significant variance or surging for the duration of the test. The Contractor shall provide an accurate operating tachometer so that pumping rates are reproducible. If the pumping unit fails to maintain a constant, continuous pumping rate, as determined by the Engineer or his representative, the test shall be restarted and the Contractor shall be penalized for the hours of pumping already performed. The Contractor's on -site employee shall be responsible for maintaining a constant pumping rate as specified. Minor variations detected in the pumping rate during the test shall be immediately corrected by adjusting a gate valve located in the discharge line. The gate valve shall be located far enough from the flow- measuring device (minimum 10 pipe diameters) so that any turbulence created by the gate valve shall not interfere with the flow measuring device. The flow - measuring device and gate valve shall be sufficiently far from any pipeline bends, elbows and other appurtenances so as not to receive any turbulence. E. Water Analysis: Just prior to completion of the well test pumping, the Contractor shall collect and send a water sample from the well to a commercial laboratory approved by the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services for analysis. The analysis shall be done per Chapter 62 -550 F.A.C. for Primary Inorganics including Nickel and Cyanide; Primary Organics and Secondary Drinking Water Standards, Unregulated Contaminants and Radionuclides. The Contractor shall pay all costs for the analysis and send a report to the Owner/Engineer. 2. Contractor shall collect bacteriological samples from the well and deliver to an approved testing laboratory in accordance with Palm Beach County Health Department ( PBCHD) Technical Memorandum #03 -1PR. Contractor shall bear all costs of testing until results satisfactory to the PBCHD and the Engineer are obtained and delivered to the Owner/Engineer as specified above. 3.12 PROTECTION OF PROPERTY AND NUISANCES A.

The procedure for review by ENGINEER will include the following as supplemented in the General Requirements. Requests for review of substitute items of material and equipment will not be accepted by ENGINEER from anyone other than CONTRACTOR. If CONTRACTOR wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, CONTRACTOR shall make written application to ENGINEER for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute will perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the general design, be similar and of equivalent or equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use as the specified. The application will state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will not prejudice CONTRACTOR's achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with OWNER for work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service will be indicated. The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which shall be considered by ENGINEER in evaluating the proposed substitute. ENGINEER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR's expense, additional data about the proposed substitute. 6.7.2. If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to ENGINEER, if CONTRACTOR submits sufficient information to allow ENGINEER to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedure for review by ENGINEER will be similar to that provided in paragraph 6.7.1 as applied by ENGINEER and as may be supplemented in the General Requirements. 6.7.3. ENGINEER will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed substitute. ENGINEER will be the sole judge of acceptability, and no substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without ENGINEER's prior written acceptance which will be evidenced GC -12 by either a Change Order or an approved Shop Drawing. OWNER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR's expense, a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. ENGINEER will record time required by ENGINEER and ENGINEER's consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by CONTRACTOR and in making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby.

By mutual acceptance of a lump sum (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with paragraph 11.6.2.1), or iii. On the basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5) plus a CONTRACTOR's Fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in paragraphs 11.6 and 11.7). Cost of the Work: 11.4. The term Cost of the Work means the sum of all costs necessarily incurred and paid by CONTRACTOR in the proper performance of the Work. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by OWNER, such costs shall be in the amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, shall not include any of the costs itemized in paragraph 11.5 and shall include only the following items: 11.4.1. Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of CONTRACTOR in the performance of the Work under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by OWNER and CONTRACTOR. Payroll costs for employees not employed full time on the Work shall be apportioned on the basis of their time spent on the Work. Payroll costs shall include, but not be limited to, salaries and wages, plus the cost of fringe benefits, which shall include social security contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll taxes, workers' or workmen's compensation, health GC -22 and retirement benefits, bonuses, sick leave, vacation and holiday pay applicable thereto. Such employees shall include superintendents and foremen at the site. The expenses of performing Work after regular working hours, on Saturday, Sunday or legal holidays shall be included in the above to the extent authorized by OWNER. 11.4.2. Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including costs of transportation and storage thereof, and Suppliers' field services required in connection therewith. All case discounts shall accrue to CONTRACTOR unless OWNER deposits funds with CONTRACTOR with which to make payments, in which case the cash discounts shall accrue to OWNER. All trade discounts, rebates and refunds and all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment shall accrue to OWNER, and CONTRACTOR shall make provisions so that they may be obtained. 11.4.3. Payments made by CONTRACTOR to the Subcontractors for Work performed by Subcontractors. If required by OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall obtain competitive proposals from Subcontractors acceptable to CONTRACTOR and shall deliver such proposals to OWNER, who will then determine, with the advice of ENGINEER, which proposals will be accepted. If a subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of Cost of the Work Plus a Fee, the Subcontractor's Cost of the Work shall be determined in the same manner as CONTRACTOR's Cost of the Work. All subcontracts shall be subject to the other provisions of the Contract Documents insofar as applicable. 11.4.4. Costs of special consultants (including, but not limited to, engineers, architects, testing laboratories, surveyors, attorneys and accountants) employed for services specifically related to the Work. 11.4.5. Supplemental costs including the following: 11.4.5.2. Cost, including transportation and maintenance, of all materials, supplies, equipment, machinery, appliances, office and temporary facilities at the site and hand tools not owned by the workers, which are consumed in the performance of the Work, and cost less market value of such items used but not consumed which remain the property of CONTRACTOR. 11.4.5.3. Rentals of all construction equipment and machinery and the parts thereof, whether rented from CONTRACTOR or others in accordance with rental agreements approved by OWNER with the advice of ENGINEER, and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading, installation, dismantling and removal thereof - all in accordance with terms of said rental agreements. The rental of any such equipment, machinery or parts shall cease when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the Work. 11.4.5.4. Sales, consumer, use or similar taxes related to the Work, and for which CONTRACTOR is liable, imposed by Laws and Regulations. 11.4.5.5. Deposits lost for causes other than negligence of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, and royalty payments and fees for permits and licenses. 11.4.5.6. Losses and damages (and related expenses) not compensated by insurance or otherwise, to the Work or otherwise sustained by CONTRACTOR in connection with the performance and furnishing of the Work (except losses and damages within the deductible amounts of property insurance established by OWNER in accordance with paragraph 5.9), provided they have resulted from causes other than the intentional acts or negligence of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable. Such losses shall include settlements made with the written consent and approval of OWNER. No such losses, damages and expenses shall be included in the Cost of the Work for the purpose of determining CONTRACTOR's Fee. If, however, any such loss or damage GC -23 requires reconstruction and CONTRACTOR is placed in charge thereof, CONTRACTOR shall be paid for services a fee proportionate to that stated in paragraph 11.6.2. 11.4.5.7. The cost of utilities, fuel and sanitary facilities at the site. 11.4.5.8. Minor expenses such as telegrams, long distance telephone calls, telephone service at the site, expressage and similar petty case items in connection with the Work. 11.4.5.9.

Expenses of CONTRACTOR's principal and branch offices other than CONTRACTOR's office at the site. 11.5.3. Any part of CONTRACTOR's capital expenses, including interest on CONTRACTOR's capital employed for the Work and charges against CONTRACTOR for delinquent payments. 11.5.4. Cost of premium for all Bonds and for all insurance whether or not CONTRACTOR is required by the Contract Documents to purchase and maintain the same (except for the cost of premiums covered by subparagraph 11.4.5.9 above). 11.5.5. Cost due to the intentional acts or negligence of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, including, but not limited to, the correction of defective Work, disposal of materials or equipment wrongly supplied and making good any damage to property. 11.5.6. Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the costs of any item not specifically and expressly included in paragraph 11.4. CONTRACTOR's Fee: 11.6. The CONTRACTOR's Fee allowed to CONTRACTOR for overhead and profit shall be determined as follows: 11.6.1. A mutually acceptable fixed fee; or if none can be agreed upon, 11.6.2. A fee based on the following considerations: 11.6.2.1. For costs incurred under paragraphs 11.4.1 and 11.4.2, CONTRACTOR's Fee shall be fifteen percent (15 %) of the Cost of such Work; 11.6.2.2. For costs incurred under paragraph 11.4.3, CONTRACTOR's Fee shall be five percent (5 %) of the Cost of such Work; and if a subcontract is on the basis of Cost of the GC -24 Work Plus a Fee, the maximum allowable to CONTRACTOR on account of overhead and profit of all Subcontractors shall be fifteen percent (15 %) of the Cost of such Work; 11.6.2.3. No fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under paragraphs 11.4.4, 11.4.5 and 11.5; 11.6.2.4. The amount of credit to be allowed by CONTRACTOR to OWNER for any such change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease, plus a deduction in CONTRACTOR's Fee by an amount equal to ten percent (10 %) of the net decrease; and 11.6.2.5. When both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the adjustment in CONTRACTOR's Fee shall be computed on the basis of the net change in accordance with paragraphs 11.6.2.1 through 11.6.2.4, inclusive. 11.7. Whenever the cost of any Work is to be determined pursuant to paragraphs 11.4. or 11.5, CONTRACTOR shall submit in form acceptable to ENGINEER an itemized cost breakdown, together with supporting data. Cash Allowances: 11.8. It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be done by such Subcontractors or Suppliers and for such sums within the limit of the allowances as may be acceptable to ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR agrees that: 11.8.1. The allowances include the cost to CONTRACTOR (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes; and 11.8.2. CONTRACTOR's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in allowances. No demand for additional payment on account of any thereof will be valid. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by ENGINEER to reflect actual amounts due CONTRACTOR on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be correspondingly adjusted. Unit Price Work: 11.9.1. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the established unit prices for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Proposals and determine an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR will be made by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 9.10. 11.9.2. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be adequate to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. 11.9.3. Where the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the GC -25 Agreement and there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work and if CONTRACTOR believes that CONTRACTOR has incurred additional expense as a result thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim for an increase in the Contract Price in accordance with Article 11 if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase. ARTICLE 12 CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME 12.1. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written Amendment. Any claim for an extension or shortening of the Contract Time shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to ENGINEER promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after such occurrence (unless ENGINEER allows an additional period of time to ascertain written statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Time shall be determined by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 9.11 if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Time will be valid if not submitted in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph 12.1. 12.2. All equipment delivery and subcontractor or supplier performance shall be considered to be within the control of CONTRACTOR. No time extensions shall be granted for delays due to manufacturing, delivery, or failure to perform under the contract. No time extension shall be granted unless CONTRACTOR can demonstrate, with the concurrence of ENGINEER, that the Contract Time requires modification. 12.3. All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement. The provisions of this Article 12 shall not exclude recovery of damages (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration costs) for delay by either party. 12.4. Claims for extension of Contract Time will be approved by OWNER only if the item or the event which causes the delay, affects the path of critical events of the Work. In such case, an extension of time will then be allowed to equal the number of days by which this path of events is lengthened. If required by ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall indicate this path of critical events, by diagram or narrative, in such detail as may be necessary to justify the claim and establish the number of days delay. The path of critical events mentioned herein is defined as that series of interdependent construction events which must be sequentially performed and which require a longer total time to perform than any other such series. ARTICLE 13 WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE: TESTS AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK Warranty and Guarantee: 13.1. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to OWNER and ENGINEER that all Work will be in accordance with the Contract Documents and will not be defective. Prompt notice of all defects shall be given to CONTRACTOR. All defective work, whether or not in place, may be rejected, corrected or accepted as provided in this Article 13. Access to Work: 13.2. ENGINEER and ENGINEER's representatives, other representatives of OWNER, testing agencies and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests will have access to the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspecting and testing. CONTRACTOR shall provide proper and safe conditions GC -26 for such access. Tests and Inspections: 13.3. CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER timely notice of readiness of the Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals. Prompt notice of all observed defects shall be given to the CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall give at least twenty-four (24) hours notice to ENGINEER prior to all required inspections, tests or approvals, unless otherwise provided. 13.4. If Laws and Regulation of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof) to specifically be inspected, tested or approved, CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility therefor, pay all costs in connection therewith and furnish ENGINEER the required certificates of inspection, testing or approval. CONTRACTOR shall also be responsible for and shall pay all costs in connection with any inspection or testing required in connection with OWNER's or ENGINEER's acceptance of a Supplier of materials or equipment proposed to be incorporated in the Work, or of materials or equipment submitted for approval prior to CONTRACTOR's purchase thereof for incorporation of the Work. All cost of all inspections, tests, certifications and approvals required by the Contract Documents shall be paid by the CONTRACTOR. All re- testing requested by the ENGINEER shall be paid for by the CONTRACTOR. 13.5. All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by organizations acceptable to OWNER and CONTRACTOR (or by ENGINEER if so specified). 13.6. If any Work (including the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested or approved is covered without written concurrence of ENGINEER, it must, if requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense, unless CONTRACTOR has given ENGINEER timely notice of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and ENGINEER has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice. 13.7. Neither observations by ENGINEER nor inspections, tests or approvals by others shall relieve CONTRACTOR for CONTRACTOR's obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Uncovering Work: 13.8. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of ENGINEER, it must, if requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for ENGINEER's observation and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense. 13.9. If ENGINEER considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by ENGINEER or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at ENGINEER's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as ENGINEER may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction, (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals), and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and reconstruction; and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12. Owner May Stop the Work: 13.10 If the Work is defective, or CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the Work in such a way that the completed GC -27 Work will conform to the Contract Documents, OWNER may order CONTRACTOR to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of CONTRACTOR or any other party. Correction or Removal of Defective Work: 13.11 If required by ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, as directed, either correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by ENGINEER, remove it from the site and replace it with non - defective Work. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such correction or removal (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals) made necessary thereby. One Year Correction Period: 13.12 If within one (1) year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work is found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER's written instructions, either correct such defective Work, or, if it has been rejected by OWNER, remove it from the site and replace it with non- defective Work. If CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, OWNER may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected Work removed and replaced, and all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such removal and replacement (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals) will be paid by CONTRACTOR. In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service before Substantial Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run from an earlier date if so provided in the Specifications or by Written Amendment. Acceptance of Defective Work: 13.13. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, Owner (and, prior to ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment, also ENGINEER) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by ENGINEER as to reasonableness and to include, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals). If any such acceptance occurs prior to ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be paid by CONTRACTOR to OWNER. Owner May Correct Defective Work: 13.14. If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of ENGINEER to proceed to correct and to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 13.11 or if CONTRACTOR fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, OWNER may, after seven (7) days' written notice to CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously to the extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action. OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and suspend Contractor's services related thereto, take possession of CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall GC -28 allow OWNER, OWNER's representatives, agents and employees such access to the site as may be necessary to enable OWNER to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against CONTRACTOR in an amount approved as to reasonableness by ENGINEER, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions if the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. Such direct, indirect and consequential costs will include, but not be limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court and arbitration costs and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective Work. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder. ARTICLE 14 PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION Schedule of Values: 14.1. The schedule of values established as provided in paragraph 2.9 will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application for Payment acceptable to ENGINEER. Progress payment on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed. Application for Progress Payment: 14.2. At least twenty (20) days before each progress payment is scheduled (not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which will be satisfactory to OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement. CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title: 14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by an Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER not later than the time of payment, free and clear of all Liens. Review of Applications for Progress Payment: 14.4. ENGINEER will, within (10) days after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER, or return the application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. Ten (1) days after presentation of the Application for Payment with ENGINEER's recommendation, the amount recommended will (subject to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7) become due and when due will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. 14.5. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment GC -29 will constitute a representation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based on ENGINEER's on -site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's review of the application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9. 10, and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation); and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such payment ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on -site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. 14.6. ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. 14.7 ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment, if in ENGINEER's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify and such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: or replacement; The Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged required correction ii. The Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order; iii. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14; or iv. Of ENGINEER's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9, inclusive. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER because claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a setoff against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action. Substantial Completion: 14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven (7) days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will, within fourteen (14) days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER, notify GC -30 CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, ENGINEER considers the work substantially complete, ENGINEER will, within said fourteen (14) days, execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operations, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment. 14.9 OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list, Partial Utilization: 14.10. Use by OWNER of any finished part of the Work, which has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or which OWNER, ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a separately functioning and useable part of the Work that can be used by OWNER without significant interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following: 14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that said part of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the part of the Work to be substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing, giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto. 14.10.2. OWNER may at any time request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to take over operation of any such part of the Work although it is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will be sent to ENGINEER and within a reasonable time thereafter OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion and will prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writing to OWNER and ENGINEER that such part of the Work is not ready for separate operation by OWNER, ENGINEER will finalize the list of items to be completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and CONTRACTOR, together with a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities ending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, utilities, insurance, warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work which will become binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall have otherwise agreed in writing and so informed ENGINEER). During such operation and prior to Substantial Completion of such part of the Work, OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on said list and to complete other related Work. GC -31 14.10.3. No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work will be accomplished prior to compliance with the requirements of paragraph 5.15 in respect to property insurance. Final Inspection: 14.11 Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, ENGINEER will make a final inspection with OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy such deficiencies. Final Application for Payment: 14.12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of ENGINEER and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates of inspection, marked -up record documents (as provided in paragraph 6.19) and other documents as required by the Contract Documents, and after ENGINEER has indicated that the Work is acceptable, CONTRACTOR may make final Application for Payment following the procedure for progress payments. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied by all documentation called for in the Contract Documents, together with complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In lieu thereof and if approved by OWNER, CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or releases in full; an affidavit of CONTRACTOR that the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which a Lien could be filed, and that all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or OWNER's property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied; and consent of the surety if any, to final payment. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish a release or receipt in full, CONTRACTOR and furnish a Bond or other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any Lien. Final Payment and Acceptance: 14.13. If, on the basis of ENGINEER's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and ENGINEER's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation - all as required by the Contract Documents, ENGINEER is satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, ENGINEER will, within ten (10) days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing ENGINEER's recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER for payment. Thereupon ENGINEER will give written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the provision of paragraph 14.16. Otherwise, ENGINEER will return the application to CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. Thirty (30) days after presentation to OWNER of the Application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate form and substance, and with ENGINEER's recommendation and notice of acceptability, the amount recommended by ENGINEER will become due and will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. 14.14. If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed and if ENGINEER so confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of CONTRACTOR's final Application for Payment and recommendation of ENGINEER, and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by OWNER for Work not full completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as required in paragraph 5. 1, the written consent of the surety of the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER with the Application for such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. GC -32 Contractor's Continuing Obligation: 14.15. CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform and complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents shall be absolute. Neither recommendation of any progress or final payment by ENGINEER, or the issuance of a certificate of Substantial Completion, or any payment by OWNER to CONTRACTOR under the Contract Documents, nor any use or occupancy of the Work or any part thereof by OWNER, nor any act of acceptance by OWNER nor any failure to do so, nor any review and approval of a Shop Drawing or sample submission, nor the issuance of a notice of acceptability by ENGINEER pursuant to paragraph 14.13, nor any correction of defective Work by OWNER will constitute an acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents or a release of CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (except as provided in paragraph 14.16). Waiver of Claims: 14.16. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute a waiver of all claims by CONTRACTOR against OWNER other than those previously made in writing and identified by CONTRACTOR as unsettled at the time of the final Application for Payment. ARTICLE 15 SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION Owner May Suspend Work: 15.1. OWNER may, at any time and without cause, suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of not more than ninety (90) days by notice in writing to CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER which will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. CONTRACTOR shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to any suspension if CONTRACTOR makes an approved claim therefor as provided in Articles l 1 and 12. Owner May Terminate: 15.2. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: i. If CONTRACTOR commences a voluntary case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), as now or hereafter in effect, or if CONTRACTOR takes any equivalent or similar action by filing a petition or otherwise under any other federal or state law in effect at such time relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency; ii. If a petition is filed against CONTRACTOR under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in effect at the time of filing, or if a petition is filed seeking any such equivalent or similar relief against CONTRACTOR under any other federal or state law in effect at the time relating to Bankruptcy or insolvency; iii. If CONTRACTOR makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; iv. If a trustee, receiver custodian or agent of CONTRACTOR is appointed under applicable law or under contract, whose appointment or authority to take charge of property of CONTRACTOR is for the purpose of enforcing a Lien against such property or for the purpose of general administration of such property for the benefit of CONTRACTOR's creditors; become due; If CONTRACTOR admits in writing an inability to pay its debts generally as they GC -33 vi. If CONTRACTOR persistently fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress schedule established under paragraph 29.9 as reviewed from time to time); vii. If CONTRACTOR disregards Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction; viii. If CONTRACTOR disregards the authority of ENGINEER; or ix. If CONTRACTOR otherwise violates in any substantial way any provision of the Contract Documents: OWNER may, after giving CONTRACTOR (and the surety, if there be one) seven (7) days' written notice and to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of CONTRACTOR, exclude CONTRACTOR from the site and take possession of the Work and of all CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could be used by CONTRACTOR (without liability to CONTRACTOR for trespass or conversion), incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct, indirect and consequential costs of completing the Work (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration costs), such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by OWNER will be approved as to reasonableness by ENGINEER and incorporated in a Change Order, but when exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. 15.3. Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by Owner, the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of monies due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release CONTRACTOR from liability. 15.4. Upon seven (7) days' written notice to CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER, OWNER may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, elect to abandon the Work and terminate the Agreement. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall be paid for all Work executed and any expense sustained, plus reasonable termination expenses, which will include, but not be limited to, direct, indirect and consequential costs including, but not limited to, fees and charges of engineer, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration costs). Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate: 15.5. If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety (90) days by OWNER or under an order of court or other public authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for Payment within thirty (30) days after it is submitted, or OWNER fails for thirty (30) days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, the CONTRACTOR may, upon seven (7) days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER, terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER payment for all Work executed and any expense sustained, plus reasonable termination expenses. In addition and in lieu of terminating the Agreement, if ENGINEER has failed to act on an Application for Payment or OWNER has failed to make any payment as aforesaid, CONTRACTOR may, upon seven (7) days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER, stop the Work until payment of all amounts then due. The provisions of this paragraph shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of the obligations under paragraph 6.29 to carry on Work in accordance with the progress schedule and without delay during disputes and disagreements with OWNER. GC -34 ARTICLE 16 MISCELLANEOUS Giving Notice: 16.1. Whenever any provision of the Contract Documents require the giving of written notice, it will be deemed to have been validly given if delivered in person to the individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for when it is intended, or if delivered at or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the last business address known to the giver of the notice.

The Initial Term of this Agreement shall be one year from the date set forth above and shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods, subject to the provisions for termination as herein provided. SUBCONTRACTOR ARCADIS By: By: (Signature of duly Authorized Representative) (Signature of duly Authorized Representative) Name Printed: Name Printed: Title Printed: Title Printed: Date: Date: ARCADIS AGREEMENT FOR SUBCONTRACTOR SERVICES SUBCONTRACTOR shall diligently perform all services, furnish all labor and materials and perform all tasks necessary to produce all of the deliverables required and perform all of the Work reasonably implied or inferred in each duly executed Work Authorization issued under the terms of this Agreement, its Schedules and Exhibits, as well as all other documents attached to or incorporated by reference as forming a part of this Agreement. SUBCONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations of any governmental agency having jurisdiction (including any requirement to obtain and maintain any permits, licenses, or approvals) in order to complete the Work described in each Work Authorization issued hereunder. SUBCONTRACTOR agrees to commence and complete the Work in accordance with any schedule incorporated into this Agreement, or any duly executed Work Authorization, or any schedule submitted by SUBCONTRACTOR and otherwise accepted in writing by ARCADIS; and with respect to any Changes, out of scope or additional work, SUBCONTRACTOR shall expeditiously perform such work according to any schedule therefore agreed to by the parties. SUBCONTRACTOR shall designate a competent representative at each location SUBCONTRACTOR is performing services for ARCADIS ( "Site ") and shall do no work unless its representative is present. SUBCONTRACTOR's representative shall be in full charge of the Work and all instructions or notices given to him or her shall be binding as if given to SUBCONTRACTOR directly. SUBCONTRACTOR shall be compensated for Work satisfactorily completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as agreed between the Parties in each duly executed Work Authorization. 3.1 SUBCONTRACTOR expressly agrees that it shall be a condition to any payment that ARCADIS shall have received payment from the Client for such work of the SUBCONTRACTOR, and that such payment by the Client shall be a condition precedent to ARCADIS' obligations hereunder, and that ARCADIS shall have no obligation to SUBCONTRACTOR unless payment for such work is made to ARCADIS by the Client. 3.2 Each invoice submitted by SUBCONTRACTOR to ARCADIS shall be a complete and accurate statement of the work provided; and shall be considered a warranty on the part of SUBCONTRACTOR to ARCADIS that SUBCONTRACTOR is properly entitled to payment. SUBCONTRACTOR shall only charge for labor and materials in the invoice at rates and quantities actually used, and prior to submitting any invoice for reimbursement, shall have paid all persons or entities performing services or furnishing materials or supplies to SUBCONTRACTOR hereunder during the period covered by such invoice, unless SUBCONTRACTOR specifies on any such invoice the name of the person or entity who or which has not fully been paid, and the amount then owing to any such person or corporation. No payment shall be made to SUBCONTRACTOR without a duly executed Agreement or Work Authorization and a valid, current Certificate of Insurance in compliance with this Agreement and the governing Work Authorization. 3.3 If ARCADIS objects to any portion of an invoice, ARCADIS shall notify SUBCONTRACTOR of the objection and the grounds, and the parties immediately shall make every effort to settle the disputed portion of the invoice. ARCADIS, in any event, shall pay every portion of the invoice that is not in dispute within the period for payment. 3.4 The final Applications for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (i) all documents called for in the Agreement, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required by Schedule A, Section 7, Schedule C and Schedule D, (ii) consent of the surety, if any, to final payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to ARCADIS) of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work including release from all sub- subcontractors and suppliers. If any sub - subcontractor or supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, SUBCONTRACTOR may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to ARCADIS to indemnify ARCADIS against any Lien. 3.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing, ARCADIS may withhold from any payment any amounts in dispute because of, but not limited to the following: (i) defective work not remedied; (ii) third -party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims, (iii) failure of the SUBCONTRACTOR to make payment properly to subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment; (iv) damage to another contractor or other entity; (v) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by the SUBCONTRACTOR; or (vi) amounts owed by SUBCONTRACTOR to ARCADIS under this or any other Agreement.

In recognition that ARCADIS' client agreement requires the prompt submission of invoices for payment, the parties agree that all invoices must be submitted by SUBCONTRACTOR to ARCADIS within ninety (90) days of the date costs are incurred or the scheduled completion date whichever occurs first. SUBCONTRACTOR waives its right to receive payment on any and all invoices which are not submitted within that time period. 3.7 ARCADIS may set -off or counterclaim against amounts payable to SUBCONTRACTOR, or asserted to be payable to SUBCONTRACTOR, under this or any other contract, any claim ARCADIS may have against SUBCONTRACTOR. SUBCONTRACTOR shall faithfully perform its services and the Work using the highest degree of care, skill, training, diligence and judgment ordinarily exercised under similar circumstances by competent members of the profession which SUBCONTRACTOR practices or industry or business in which SUBCONTRACTOR works. SUBCONTRACTOR agrees to promptly reperform, repair or replace, at ARCADIS' option and at SUBCONTRACTOR's cost and expense, any service or Work which fail to conform to such requirements or in the event such a degree of skill and care is not exercised. SUBCONTRACTOR further warrants and guarantees that al I goods and materials provided hereunder shall be: (i) be new and fit for the intended purpose, (ii) provided in conformance with types and quantities specified; (iii) installed by qualified, careful and efficient workers; and, (iv) free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (I) year from completion and acceptance by ARCADIS. SUBCONTRACTOR further warrants all Work, including but not limited to all materials and equipment, against failure, leaks, breaks, and other unsatisfactory conditions or defects for a period of one (1) year from completion and acceptance by ARCADIS. SUBCONTRACTOR agrees to promptly repair or replace, at ARCADIS' option and at SUBCONTRACTOR's cost and expense, all defects, as well as faulty materials, equipment, and systems, including but not limited to, manufactured parts and faulty installation. SUBCONTRACTOR further agrees to obtain and assign to ARCADIS or its Client, as directed by ARCADIS, all guarantees and warranties offered by or reasonably available from all vendors, subcontractors and suppliers of goods or services who provide machinery, equipment, materials or services for the Work, including but not limited to those required under the Prime Contract. If at any time during performance of the Work or during the one (1) year period after completion and acceptance of the Work by ARCADIS (or such longer period of time as may be required by the Prime Contract between ARCADIS and its Client), SUBCONTRACTOR shall receive a written notice of defect or non - conformance from ARCADIS and shall fail to correct such defect or non - conformity within the time limit specified, ARCADIS may cause the same to be corrected by either its own forces or by others and either deduct costs incurred from any amounts due and owing to SUBCONTRACTOR under this or any other Agreement between ARCADIS or its affiliated companies and SUBCONTRACTOR or invoice SUBCONTRACTOR directly for such damages. SUBCONTRACTOR agrees to reimburse ARCADIS within thirty (30) days of receipt of ARCADIS' itemized invoice. SUBCONTRACTOR shall at all times enforce, or cause to be enforced, strict discipline and good order among workmen employed to perform the Work. Should any disorderly or incompetent person be employed by SUBCONTRACTOR, or by any lower -tier subcontractor, upon or about any Site, SUBCONTRACTOR shall, upon request of ARCADIS' representative, cause such person to be removed from such Site and not be again employed thereon without written permission of ARCADIS. For purposes hereof, SUBCONTRACTOR is an independent contractor and shall not be considered an employee or agent of ARCADIS. SUBCONTRACTOR is responsible for all means, methods, sequences and procedures for carrying out the Work, including safety, and shall maintain complete control of its employees, agents, subcontractors and vendors. SUBCONTRACTOR shall not take any action or allow any omission inconsistent with its status as an independent contractor under this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Prime Contract entered into between ARCADIS and the owner or client for the specific Project. SUBCONTRACTOR has received a copy of such contract and agrees to perform all obligations of such contract as it applies and with respect to the Work of the SUBCONTRACTOR, including any terms and provisions for indemnity, insurance, warranties, and liquidated damages. Nothing herein shall be deemed or construed as creating any agency or granting either party any right or authority to assume or to create any obligation, warranty or responsibility on behalf of the other. SUBCONTRACTOR shall not subcontract performance of all or any portion of the Work under this Agreement without the prior written approval of ARCADIS. If requested by ARCADIS, SUBCONTRACTOR shall furnish ARCADIS a copy of the proposed subcontract for ARCADIS' review of the terms and conditions thereof, and shall not execute such subcontract until ARCADIS has given notice of ARCADIS' approval. Failure of SUBCONTRACTOR to comply with this section may be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and grounds for ARCADIS to withhold payment therefor. SUBCONTRACTOR guarantees that subcontractors of SUBCONTRACTOR, for performance of the Work, will comply fully with the terms of this Agreement applicable to the portion of the Work performed by them. No changes to this Agreement and no extra charges will be allowed unless a duly authorized representative of ARCADIS specifically agrees to them in writing. As a condition precedent to SUBCONTRACTOR's recovery on any claim for an increase in the cost of the Work or for an extension of time to complete the Work (a "Claim "), SUBCONTRACTOR shall, immediately after the occurrence of the event which SUBCONTRACTOR believes may give rise to a Claim, give ARCADIS written notice of the claim, which notice shall contain a verified statement that supports the claim and details the estimated change in the Subcontract cost and the time to complete the Work. SUBCONTRACTOR's failure to provide notice as required by this paragraph shall be a waiver of SUBCONTRACTOR's right to recovery under the terms of the Prime Contract between ARCADIS and its Client on a Claim. In no event shall SUBCONTRACTOR be entitled to compensation for changes which are not reimbursable to ARCADIS by its Client. Any determination by ARCADIS or Client with regard to same shall be binding upon SUBCONTRACTOR. From the date of commencement of the Work until its completion, SUBCONTRACTOR shall provide and maintain, at a minimum, at SUBCONTRACTOR's expense, the insurance required by Schedule C. In the event the Client requests additional types or an increase in the amounts of insurance required in Schedule C, as may defined in any Work Authorization or Prime Contract attached hereto or made a part hereof, SUBCONTRACTOR agrees to comply with such request and to notify ARCADIS of any failures to comply prior to accepting the contemplated work. In the event SUBCONTRACTOR fails to provide such notice, ARCADIS shall have the right but not the obligation to procure said insurance for SUBCONTRACTOR. SUBCONTRACTOR shall pay ARCADIS any and all costs and expenses incurred by ARCADIS in procuring said insurance, and ARCADIS may deduct this amount from the Subcontract cost. SUBCONTRACTOR's failure to procure the required types and limits of insurance as set forth herein shall not relieve SUBCONTRACTOR of its indemnification obligations hereunder. Title to all materials shall pass to the Client upon delivery to the work site. SUBCONTRACTOR shall bear the risk of loss of such materials until completion of the Work and final acceptance by ARCADIS. SUBCONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ARCADIS and the Client served under this Agreement and the directors, officers, employees, shareholders and affiliates of either of them from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and court costs) which Client, ARCADIS and their directors, officers, employees and agents hereafter may suffer as the result any breach by SUBCONTRACTOR of the terms of this Agreement or in connection with any claim, demand, action or right of action (whether at law or in equity) brought or asserted by any third party including, but not limited to any personal injury (including death) or property damage relating to or arising from the performance of the Work by the SUBCONTRACTOR, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, lower -tier subcontractors, agents or representatives. SUBCONTRACTOR shall not be liable to the extent that any liability, loss, damage, cost, and expense results from the sole negligence or willful misconduct by ARCADIS or its directors, officers, employees or agents. SUBCONTRACTOR agrees to promptly pay ARCADIS all sums ARCADIS may be required to pay in settlement of any Loss on account thereof, including any claim under the provisions of any workers' compensation law or similar law. In the event any Loss is claimed by one party against the other, and the claiming party does not succeed in proving the Loss, the other party shall be entitled to recover, within a reasonable period of time after demand therefor, all reasonable costs incurred. SUBCONTRACTOR shall promptly pay for all services, materials, equipment and labor used or furnished by SUBCONTRACTOR in the performance of the Work, and shall, at SUBCONTRACTOR's expense, keep all property belonging to ARCADIS and Client or either of them free and clear of any and all liens and rights of lien arising out of services, labor, equipment, or materials furnished by SUBCONTRACTOR or its employees, material men or sub - subcontractors in performance of the Work. If SUBCONTRACTOR fails to release and discharge any such claim or lien on the property of ARCADIS and Client or either of them within seven (7) days after receipt of written notice from ARCADIS to remove such claim or lien, ARCADIS may, at its option, discharge or release the lien or claim of lien or take such other action with respect to the lien as ARCADIS may deem appropriate. SUBCONTRACTOR shall pay ARCADIS any and all costs and expenses incurred by ARCADIS in so doing (including reasonable attorney's fees), and ARCADIS may deduct this amount from the Subcontract cost. SUBCONTRACTOR shall, at its own expense, defend any action based on such claim or lien, and shall pay and satisfy any judgment which may be established by decision of the court. SUBCONTRACTOR certifies compliance with all applicable Federal, provincial, state, local and other anti- discrimination laws, the standards and regulations issued thereunder, and the amendments thereto. The SUBCONTRACTOR certifies compliance, to the extent applicable, with all applicable provisions of the standards and regulations issued thereunder. Such rules and regulations are incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth herein verbatim. SUBCONTRACTOR shall not assign or subcontract this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of ARCADIS, nor shall SUBCONTRACTOR assign any moneys due or to become due to it hereunder without the written consent of ARCADIS. Any such assignment or subcontract shall be null and void. SUBCONTRACTOR shall impose on its lower -tier subcontractors the same responsibilities that SUBCONTRACTOR assumes by the terns and conditions of this Agreement. SUBCONTRACTOR will be fully responsible to ARCADIS for the acts and omissions of its lower -tier subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by all of SUBCONTRACTOR's lower -tier subcontractors. This Agreement shall not be transferable by SUBCONTRACTOR or by operation of law. If requested by ARCADIS, SUBCONTRACTOR shall furnish ARCADIS a copy of any proposed agreement between SUBCONTRACTOR and any of its lower -tier subcontractors for ARCADIS' review of the terms and conditions thereof, and shall not execute such agreement until ARCADIS has given notice of ARCADIS' approval. Failure of SUBCONTRACTOR to comply with this section may be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and grounds for ARCADIS to withhold payment therefor. SUBCONTRACTOR guarantees that all lower -tier subcontractors of SUBCONTRACTOR will comply fully with the terms of this Agreement which are applicable to the portion of the Work performed by them. SUBCONTRACTOR acknowledges that if, in the sole discretion of ARCADIS, after consultation with the SUBCONTRACTOR, the potential performance of other services could result in a conflict with SUBCONTRACTOR's obligations under this Agreement or any Work Authorization, then SUBCONTRACTOR shall not perform the services. SUBCONTRACTOR represents that it has reasonably evaluated all potential conflicts and has disclosed and will continue to disclose to ARCADIS in writing any prior or existing relationships which present, or could appear to present, a conflict with the Work or services to be performed. SUBCONTRACTOR acknowledges this is a continuing obligation. Time is of the essence in the performance of the obligations created by this Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement shall be as set forth in the signatory page and shall automatically renewal for successive one (I) year periods, subject to the provisions for termination as hereinafter provided. In the event Work has been commenced prior to the execution of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be effective retroactively to the date the Work was commenced. ARCADIS may terminate the services of SUBCONTRACTOR at any time by giving written notice to SUBCONTRACTOR specifying that termination is being made under the provisions of this Paragraph and specifying the effective date of termination if SUBCONTRACTOR should be or become insolvent within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Act of the United States of America and Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada; (ii) SUBCONTRACTOR should make ageneral assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) Any proceeding should be brought by or against SUBCONTRACTOR seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief, under the present or any future federal bankruptcy acts or under any other applicable federal or state law or regulation; (iv) Any proceeding should be brought seeking the appointment of a receiver or similar office of the court with respect to SUBCONTRACTOR's business; (v) SUBCONTRACTOR should refuse or fail to supply enough properly skilled workmen or equipment or materials of the proper quality to properly or timely perform the Work; (vi) SUBCONTRACTOR should fail to make timely payments to SUBCONTRACTOR's labor, subcontractors, materialmen, or suppliers; (vii) SUBCONTRACTOR should disregard the laws, ordinances, governmental rules or regulations, or should repeatedly disregard instructions of ARCADIS' representative which are consistent with this Agreement; or (viii) SUBCONTRACTOR should violate any provision of this Agreement and shall fail to correct such violation promptly following receipt of notice from ARCADIS. In the event of such termination: (i) On the termination date, ARCADIS shall remove SUBCONTRACTOR from the Site(s) and take possession of all materials thereon for which SUBCONTRACTOR is entitled to receive payment under the provisions of this Agreement, and ARCADIS thereafter may complete the Work, or cause the Work to be completed, by whatever means ARCADIS deems expedient; (ii) SUBCONTRACTOR shall promptly thereafter transfer and assign to ARCADIS, in accordance with ARCADIS' instructions, all improvements and materials for which SUBCONTRACTOR is entitled to receive payment under the provisions of this Agreement, and SUBCONTRACTOR shall return to ARCADIS all information furnished by ARCADIS in connection with the Work, together with all data developed by SUBCONTRACTOR under this Agreement; and (iii) SUBCONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment under this Agreement until the Work is wholly finished, and ARCADIS shall have the right to deduct from any balance due SUBCONTRACTOR under this Agreement the amount of damage in- curred by ARCADIS through SUBCONTRACTOR's default, including the cost of completing the Work. In the event the amount of damage exceeds the balance due hereunder, SUBCONTRACTOR shall pay to ARCADIS the amount of such excess. The rights and remedies of ARCADIS set forth in this Paragraph shall not be exclusive and are in addition to all other rights and remedies of ARCADIS.
