conditions are more severe than the monthly average temperatures and/or precipitation
recorded in Vail, as provided for at http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cqi-bin/cIiMAIN.pI?covail. As
these average weather conditions are to be anticipated during construction, and that
reasonable extensions may be granted for any monthly adverse conditions, so will
reasonable accelerations be expected to be given to the Town for monthly weather
conditions that are more favorable than the provided averages.
B. Any request for extension of the Contract Time shall be made in writing to the
Project Manager not more than seven (7) days after commencement of the delay;
otherwise it shall be waived. Any such request shall contain an estimate of the probable
effect of such delay on the progress of the Work.

damages, or to additional compensation as a consequence of any such delays.

expense shall take all necessary extraordinary measures to accelerate the current
progress of the Work to meet the Town-approved schedule.
2.07 NO DAMAGES FOR DELAY:
In strict accordance with C.R.S. § 24-91-103.5, the Town shall not amend the Contract

8.02 MEASUREMENT:
A. All measurements and payments will be based on Work completed in strict
accordance with the Contract Documents.
B. The method of ineasurement and basis of payment described are for the Work
itemized in the Bid Form and in the Specifications.
C. The determination of quantities of Work acceptably completed under the terms of
the Contract Documents will be made by the Project Manager. Measurements will be
taken according to the United States standard measure. Unless otherwise specified, all
longitudinal measurements will be made horizontally, and computations will be based
on the dimensions shown on drawings and details. Quantities will be rounded off to the
nearest whole number. Measurement by cubic dimension shall be measured using
mean length, width and height or thickness. Measurements by area shall be measured
by square dimensions using mean length and width or radius, measured horizontally.
Linear measurements shall be measured by linear dimension at the item centerline or
mean chord. Lump sum or per each measurements shall be made as specified by the
Bid description. Measurements by weight shall be measured by certified scales at the
source of material or by certified truck tickets. When base course, topsoil, surface
course, or any materials are measured by the cubic yard in the vehicle, such
measurement shall be taken at the point of delivery.
D. Contractor shall, in the presence of the Project Manager, verify all measurements
and quantities required for payment by the unit price method. Contractor shall provide
necessary equipment, workers, and survey personnel as required for measurements.
E. The capacity of all vehicles shall be plainly marked on said vehicle and the

The Project Manager may require all vehicles to have uniform capacity.
F. The determination of payment for lump sum or fixed fee Work shall be made
based on the approved schedule of values and percentages of Work completed within
the timeframe of the pay application.
8.03 PROGRESS PAYMENTS:
A. The Town shall make periodic progress payments to Contractor within thirty (30)
days following the Project Manager's approval of the Work completed and pay application.
1. A progress payment shall be made only after Contractor has submitted an
application for a progress payment on a form approved by the Project Manager,
and if requested by the Project Manager, Contractor shall submit copies of invoices
from subcontractors or supplies and partial waivers executed by each.
2. Each application for progress payment shall include an affidavit of
Contractor stating that all previous progress payments have been applied to
discharge in full all of Contractor's obligations reflected in prior Applications for
Partial Payment.
3. Applications for progress payments may not include request for payment
for portions of the Work for which Contractor does not intend to pay to a
Subcontractor, unless such Work has been perFormed by another that Contractor
intends to pay.
4. The Project Manager may request additional information to support the
progress payment application.
B. Progress payments shall be in an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the
Work actually completed as determined by the Project Manager. The remaining five
percent (5%) shall be held as retainage. Upon Final Acceptance, Contractor may request
the release of retainage.
C. If Contractor fails to complete any required Work within the time period agreed
between Contractor and the Project Manager, or within any time period set forth in the
Contract Documents, as modified or extended, the Town is expressly authorized to
withhold any progress payment for such Work until such Work is completed. The Town
may also refuse to make any progress payment because of subsequently discovered
evidence of defective Work.
D. No progress payment except final payment will be made for a sum of less than
one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
8.04 FINAL PAYMENT:
A. Final payment for Work governed by unit prices will be made on the basis of the
actual measurements and quantities accepted by the Town multiplied by the unit price for
Work which is incorporated in or made necessary by the Work.
B. Upon final acceptance, Contractor may apply for final payment. The application
shall include valid releases or waivers of all claims in connection with the Work.
C. If the Town is satisfied that the Work has been completed in compliance with the
Contract Documents, the Town shall cause publication to commence of Notice of Final
Settlement pursuant to C.R.S. § 38-26-107. If no claims are made, the Town shall
make final payment, including any retainage, by the Owner's Representative in
accordance with the Notice of Final Settlement. If any claim is made, the Town may
withhold up to twice the amount of any asserted claim against Contractor until said
claim has been resolved.
8.05 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES:
A. Because time is of the essence and delayed perFormance constitutes a
compensable inconvenience to the Town and its residents, the liquidated damages
established in this Section shall be enforced. Such damages are not a penalty. The
following Liquidated Damages shall be due the Town from the Contractor for each
calendar day the following milestones are not met, and damages shall accrue until said
milestones are met, according to the following schedule:
Liquidated Damages of $1,000 per day shall be assessed for each calendar day
after June 27, 2014 if the Spring construction date is not per Section 2.02 and further
described in Section 20.2.D.
Liquidated Damages of $1,000 per day shall be assessed for each calendar day
after October 1, 2014 if the Site is not ready for the Town to install the vending equipment
as described in Section 2.02
Liquidated Damages of $1,000 per day shall be assessed for each calendar day
after November 15, 2014 if the entire Project is not substantially complete. The Liquidated
Damages shall increase to 2,500 per day if the entire project is not substantially complete
by November 28, 2014 and will continue until substantial completion is attained.
B. Allowing Contractor to continue and finish the Work or any part thereof after the
Final Completion date shall not operate as a waiver on the part of the Town of any of its
rights under the Contract Documents. Any liquidated damages assessed shall not relieve
Contractor from liability for any damages or costs of other contractors caused by a failure
of Contractor to complete the Work in the Contract Time. Liquidated damages may be
deducted from any payment due Contractor or the retainage. If the liquidated damages
exceed the amount owed to Contractor, Contractor shall reimburse the Town.
8.06 ORAL AGREEMENTS PROHIBITED:
This Contract is expressly subject to the provisions of C.R.S. § 29-1-110(1), and
Contractor acknowledges that neither the Town nor any employee or agent thereof is
authorized to expend or contract for the expenditure of any monies in excess of those
appropriated by the Vail Town Council. The Town acknowledges that sufficient funds
have been appropriated to pay the Contract Price, but Contractor shall not rely upon the
appropriation of any funds in addition to those already appropriated unless and until the
same are lawfully appropriated by the Vail Town Council.
8.07 ITEMS NOT INCLUDED IN BID:
No additional compensation shall be paid for any costs or services listed in the Contract
Documents, but not specifically listed in the Bid as a Bid item.
8.08 CHANGES IN QUANTITY:
A. Except as otherwise provided in this Part 8, the unit Bid price shown in the Bid
Schedule shall be used to determine the payment owed Contractor for any changes in
quantity.
B. The actual quantity placed, as determined by the Project Manager, shall be used to
calculate the payment due to Contractor.
C. Prior to any Work being perFormed in excess of any of the Bid Schedule quantities,
Contractor shall notify the Town, in writing, of every quantity that will exceed one hundred
five percent (105%) of the quantity listed on the Bid Schedule.
D. Except as otherwise provided in this Part 8, Contractor shall not be entitled to
compensation for any increased expense, loss of expected reimbursement or loss of
anticipated profits, directly or indirectly caused by any changes in quantity.
8.09 BID PRICE ADJUSTMENTS:
When a Major Item is increased to more than one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) or
decreased to less than sixty-seven percent (67%) of the original quantity stated on the Bid
Schedule, the unit Bid price shall be modified by written change order. Payment for major
items shall be calculated by multiplying the actual quantity placed by the modified Bid
price.
8.10 ELIMINATED ITEMS:
Should any items contained in the Bid Schedule be found unnecessary for completion of
the Work, the items shall be eliminated. The Contract Price shall be modified by Change
Order, and the amount of the change order shall be the eliminated quantity multiplied by
the unit Bid price stated in the Bid Schedule, minus any reasonable costs incurred by
Contractor for the eliminated items. Reasonable costs shall be determined by the Project
Manager based on information provided by Contractor, and may include mobilization of
eliminated materials and equipment mobilization costs if the sole purpose of the
equipment was to place the eliminated material. In no case shall the costs exceed the
amount of the eliminated items.
8.11 MATERIALS STORED BUT NOT INCORPORATED:
Payments may be made to Contractor for materials stored on the Site but not incorporated
into the Work as evidenced by invoices or cost analyses of material produced, if the
material has been fabricated or processed and are ready for installation into the Work and
conform to the Contract Documents. Payments shall not exceed eighty-five percent (85%)
of the price shown in the Bid Schedule or one hundred percent (100%) of the certified
invoice cost of the stockpiled material, whichever is less. Payment for stockpiled materials
shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for loss or damage to the material. Payment
for living plant materials or perishable materials shall not be made until the living or
perishable material is made an integral part of the finished Work.
8.12 COST RECORDS:
Contractor shall make cost records available to the Town if the Town deems it necessary
to determine the validity and amount of any item claimed.
PART 9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.01 PUBLICATIONS:
Any and all publications relating to the Work and authored by Contractor or any of its
subcontractors shall be submitted to the Town for its prior written approval of the content
of the publication. If the Town disapproves of the content of the publication, the author
shall withdraw it from publication. The term "publication" as used herein shall include
articles or letters to be published in any newspaper, magazine, trade journal or other
periodical.
9.02 CONFIDENTIALITY:
Any and all reports, information, date, statistics, forms, designs, plans, procedures,
systems, studies and any other communication form of knowledge given to or prepared or
assembled by Contractor under this Contract shall, to the extent authorized and permitted
by law, be kept as confidential and not be made available by Contractor to any individual,
company or organization without the prior written consent of the Town. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Contractor shall not be restricted from releasing information in response to a
subpoena, court order, or legal process, but Contractor shall notify the Town in writing
before responding.
9.03 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR:
Contractor, for all purposes arising out of this Contract, is an independent contractor and
not an employee of the Town. It is expressly understood and agreed that Contractor shall
not be entitled to any benefits to which the Town's employees are entitled, such as
overtime, retirement benefits, worker's compensation, injury leave or other leave benefits.
9.04 INTERPRETATION AND CONFLICTS:
A. When words, which have a technical or trade meaning, are used to describe
Work, materials or equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with such
meaning. Reference to standard specifications, manuals or codes of any technical
society, organization or association, or to the code of any governmental authority,
whether such reference is specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard
specification, manual or code in effect at the time of opening of Bids, unless otherwise
specifically stated. However, no provision of any referenced standard specification
manual or code (whether or not specifically incorporated by reference in the Contract
Documents) shall change the duties and responsibilities of Contractor from those set
forth in the Contract Documents. Clarifications and interpretations of the Contract
Documents shall be issued by the Town.
B. Should a conflict occur in or between Drawings and Specifications, Contractor is
deemed to have estimated on the more expensive way of doing the Work unless
Contractor obtained a written decision from the Town before submission of the Bid as to
which method or materials will be required.

1. Leave joints, including welds, uninsulated and exposed for examination during test.
2. Provide temporary restraints for expansion joints that cannot sustain reactions due to test
pressure. If temporary restraints are impractical, isolate expansion joints from testing.
3. Flush hydronic piping systems with clean water; then remove and clean or replace
strainer screens.
4. Isolate equipment from piping. If a valve is used to isolate equipment, its closure shall
be capable of sealing against test pressure without damage to valve. Install blinds in
flanged joints to isolate equipment.
5. Install safety valve, set at a pressure no more than one-third higher than test pressure, to
protect against damage by expanding liquid or other source of overpressure during test.
B. Perform the following tests on hydronic piping:
1. Use ambient temperature water as a testing medium unless there is risk of damage due
to freezing. Another liquid that is safe for workers and compatible with piping may be
used.
2. While filling system, use vents installed at high points of system to release air. Use
drains installed at low points for complete draining of test liquid.
3. Isolate expansion tanks and determine that hydronic system is full of water.
4. Subject piping system to hydrostatic test pressure that is not less than 1.5 times the
system's working pressure. Test pressure shall not exceed maximum pressure for any
vessel, pump, valve, or other component in system under test. Verify that stress due to
pressure at bottom of vertical runs does not exceed 90 percent of specified minimum
yield strength or 1.7 times "SE" value in Appendix A in ASME B31.9, "Building Services
Piping."
5. After hydrostatic test pressure has been applied for at least 10 minutes, examine piping,
joints, and connections for leakage. Eliminate leaks by tightening, repairing, or replacing
components, and repeat hydrostatic test until there are no leaks.
6. Prepare written report of testing.

C. Perform the following before operating the system:
1. Open manual valves fully.
2. Inspect pumps for proper rotation.
3. Set makeup pressure-reducing valves for required system pressure.
4. Inspect air vents at high points of system and determine if all are installed and operating
freely(automatic type), or bleed air completely(manual type).
5. Set temperature controls so all coils are calling for full flow.
6. Inspect and set operating temperatures of hydronic equipment, such as boilers, chillers,
cooling towers, to specified values.
7. Verify lubrication of motors and bearings.

B. Finallnspection:
1. After initial inspection is complete and documentation by random checks verifies that testing and
balancing are complete and accurately documented in the final report, request that a final
inspection be made by Architect .
2. The TAB contractor's test and balance engineer shall conduct the inspection in the presence of
Architect and Owner.
3. Architect and Owner shall randomly select measurements, documented in the final report, to be
rechecked. Rechecking shall be limited to either 10 percent of the total measurements recorded
or the extent of ineasurements that can be accomplished in a normal 8-hour business day.
4. If rechecks yield measurements that differ from the measurements documented in the final report
by more than the tolerances allowed, the measurements shall be noted as "FAILED."
5. If the number of"FAILED" measurements is greater than 10 percent of the total measurements
checked during the final inspection, the testing and balancing shall be considered incomplete and
shall be rejected.
C. TAB Work will be considered defective if it does not pass final inspections. If TAB Work fails, proceed
as follows:
1. Recheck all measurements and make adjustments. Revise the final report and balancing device
settings to include all changes; resubmit the final report and request a second final inspection.
2. If the second final inspection also fails, Owner may contract the services of another TAB contractor
to complete TAB Work according to the Contract Documents and deduct the cost of the services
from the original TAB contractor's final payment.
D. Prepare test and inspection reports.
