No materials or supplies for the work shall be purchased by the Contractor or by any Subcontractor subject to any chattel mortgage or under a conditional sale contract or other agreement by which an interest is retained by the seller. The Contractor warrants that he has good title to all materials and supplies used by him in the work, free from all liens, claims or encumbrances
All work performed and all workmanship, equipment and materials used in the construction shall be subject to Observation, examination and test, at any and all times during construction.
In the event of temporary suspension of work, or during inclement weather or whenever the City shall direct, the Contractor will, and will cause his Subcontractors to, protect carefully his and their work and materials against damage or injury from weather. If, in the opinion of the City, any work or materials have been damaged or injured by reason of failure on the part of the Contractor or any of his Subcontractors to so protect his work, such materials shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.
In case of an emergency which threatens loss of injury or property, and/or safety of life, the Contractor is hereby permitted to act at his own discretion and in a diligent manner without prior instructions from the City to prevent the threatened loss or injury. He shall notify the City immediately thereafter. Any claim for compensation by the Contractor due to such extra work shall be promptly submitted in writing to the City for approval. The amount of any reimbursement claimed by the Contractor shall be determined in the manner provided in Article 9 of this Contract.
The Contractor shall submit to the City such schedule of quantities and costs, progress schedules, payrolls, reports, estimates, records and other data as may be requested concerning work performed or to be performed under this Contract.
At the site of the work, the Contractor shall employ a construction superintendent or foreman who shall have full authority to act for the Contractor. It is understood that such Representative shall be acceptable to the City and shall be one who can be continued in that capacity for the particular job involved unless he ceases to be on the Contractor's payroll. All directions given to such Representative in the Contractor's absence shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor.
The City may, at any time, by written order and without notice to the sureties, require the performance of extra work or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from the work. The amount of compensation to be paid to the Contractor shall be adjusted accordingly without invalidating the Contract and in accordance with whichever of the following plans the City elects: (1) a price agreed upon, (2) a price based on unit prices of the Contract; or (3) a price determined by adding fifteen percent (15%) to the reasonable cost of the extra work, addition, alteration, or deduction; provided however, that no additions to the Contract Price shall be agreed upon by, or shall be binding upon the City if the effect of said price increase is to increase the Contract amount beyond the amount of money appropriated by the City Council, as specified in Section 2 3 of the Code of Laws of the City of Wheat Ridge.
In giving instructions, the City may authorize minor changes in the work, not involving extra cost and not inconsistent with the purpose of the project. Otherwise, except in an emergency endangering life or property, no extra work or change shall be made unless in pursuance of a written approved Change Order or RFI response by the City.
The Contractor shall, within seven (7) days from the beginning of any delay, notify the City, in writing, of the causes thereof and the City shall ascertain the facts, the extent of the delay and notify the Contractor of the decision in the matter.
The completion time shall be extended when delay in completion of the work by the Contractor is due to unforeseeable causes beyond his control and without his fault or negligence, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or the public enemy, acts or neglect of the City, acts of neglect of any other contractor, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, riots, civil commotions or freight embargoes. The time of completion of his work shall be extended by such time as shall be fixed by the City.
No such extension of time shall be deemed a waiver by the City of its right to terminate the Contract for abandonment or delay by the Contractor as herein provided or relieve the Contractor from full responsibility for performance of his obligations hereunder. The City's liability for delay shall be limited pursuant to the provisions of Section 2-4 of the Code of Laws of the City of Wheat Ridge and shall be limited to granting a time extension to the Contractor.
The observation of the work by the City shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his obligations to fulfill his Contract as herein prescribed, and defective work shall be made good, and unsuitable materials may be rejected, notwithstanding that such work and material have been previously overlooked by City representative(s) and accepted or estimated for payment or paid for. If the work or any part thereof shall be found defective or at any time before the final acceptance of the whole work, or the final payment therefore, the Contractor shall forthwith make good such defect in a manner satisfactory to the City and if any material brought upon the ground for use in the work, or selected for the same, shall be condemned by the City as unsuitable, the Contractor shall forthwith remove such materials from the vicinity of the work and shall replace, at his own expense, damaged or unsuitable materials with the new materials of satisfactory quality.
Neither the foregoing nor any provision of these Contract Documents, nor any special guarantee time limit, shall be held to limit the Contractor's liability for defects to less than the legal limit of liability in accordance with the law of the place of the construction.
The Contractor shall pay the City all expenses, losses, and damages as determined by the City incurred in consequence of any defect, omission, or mistake of the Contractor or his employees or the making good thereof.
Should the Contractor encounter underground structures at the site materially differing from those shown on the Plans or indicated in the Specifications, he shall immediately give notice to the City of such conditions before they are disturbed. The City will thereupon promptly investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that they materially differ from those shown on the Plans, may authorize changes to be made to the Plan and/or Specifications as may be necessary.
It is understood and agreed that the Contractor has considered in his bid all of the permanent and temporary utility appurtenances in their present or relocated position as shown on the plans and that additional compensation will not be allowed except for any unreasonable delays, or damage sustained by him due to any interference from the said utility appurtenances. Unreasonable delays shall constitute delays caused by a complete shutdown of all operations. It is understood that utilities are not owned, operated or controlled or subject to control by the City of Wheat Ridge. Relocations of facilities owned by said utilities are not a matter over which the City has control. The Contractor shall adjust his schedule in anticipation of such delays so that work in other areas may be completed away from the area of utility conflict.
The locations of all utilities shown on the Project plans should be considered approximate. It is therefore the responsibility of the Contractor to notify the appropriate utility and obtain more precise locations. No compensation will be made to the Contractor for any damage, delay or additional cost incurred as a result of failure to obtain utility locations.
Information on the Plans in the Contract Documents referring to the existence of utilities or other underground structures is not guaranteed to be correct or to be a complete representation of all existing data. Every effort has been made, however, to make this information complete and accurate on the basis of all data and information which could be procured by the City. The Contractor shall make his own examination and shall draw his own conclusions as to the underground facilities which will be encountered, and he shall have no claim for damages of any kind on account of any errors, inaccuracies or omission that may be found.
There shall be no adjustment in Contract Price based on changed site conditions. The Contractor is required hereby to make an on site inspection and investigation, which includes determination of location of utilities and said and other natural conditions. Representations regarding site and soil conditions and utility locations are based on the best information available to the Owner and final determination as to both site and soil conditions and utility locations is left to the Contractor, without recourse to the City. The City shall allow reasonable and necessary access to the site to Contractor and his representatives to make such determination and site review.
No claim for extra work or cost shall be allowed unless the same was done in pursuance of written order of the City, as provided for in Article 9, and the claim was presented prior to the issuance of the final payment. When work is performed under the "reasonable cost" method as outlined in Article 9 of the General Conditions, the Contractor shall furnish satisfactory bills, payrolls and vouchers covering all items of cost, and when requested by the City, give the City access to accounts relating thereto.
NO adjustments will be allowed for fuel cost of asphalt cement.
If (1) the Contractor or any of his Subcontractors shall be adjudged bankrupt or (2) if he shall make a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors or (3) if a receiver shall be appointed of his property, or (4) if the work to be done under this Contract shall be abandoned, or (5) if this Contract or any part hereof shall be sublet, without the previous written consent of the City, or (6) if the Contract or any claim thereunder shall be assigned by the Contractor otherwise than as herein specified, or (7) at any time the City shall certify in writing that the rate of progress of the work or any part thereof is unsatisfactory or (8) that the work or any part thereof is unnecessarily or unreasonably delayed, or (9) that the Contractor, his subcontractors, agents or employees have violated any of the provisions of this Contract, or of the plans and specifications, or construction schedule, the City shall notify Contractor and the Surety, and shall be entitled immediately to terminate the Contract. The Surety shall have the right to take over and perform the Contract, provided, however, that if the Surety does not commence performance thereof within ten (10) days from the date of the mailing to such Surety of notice of termination, the City may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or by force account for the account and at the expense of the Contractor, and the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to the City for any excess cost occasioned the City thereby, and in such event the City may take possession of and utilize in completing the work, such materials, machinery, appliances and plant as may be on the site of the work and necessary therefore. The Contractor, by signing this Contract, gives to the City in the event of default, right to use such aforesaid articles to the full extent which they could be used by the Contractor. The City shall not be liable to the Contractor for trespass or conversion.
All expenses charged under this article shall be deducted and paid for by the City out of money then due to become due the Contractor under this Contract or any part thereof, and in such account the City shall not be held to obtain the lowest figures for the work of completing the Contract or any part thereof or for insuring its proper completion, but all sums actually paid hereafter shall be charged to the Contractor and his Surety. In case the expenses so charged are less than the sum which would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed by the Contractor, the City shall be entitled to retain the difference and in case such expenses shall exceed the said sum, the Contractor and his Surety shall pay the amount of the excess to the City upon completion of the work without further demand being made therefore.
Before any work is begun, the Contractor shall provide to the City a written schedule detailing the order and manner of doing the work. Before the first partial payment is made, the Contractor shall deliver to the City an estimated construction progress schedule in form satisfactory to the City, showing the proposed dates of commencement and completion of each of the various subdivisions of work required under the Contract. The Contractor shall provide an updated schedule every 30 days.
During the course of construction, the Contractor shall request payment of work actually performed during the preceding month. The City will once each month make a progress payment to the Contractor on the basis of an evaluation of the claim by the City as to amount of work done and that the City has received full value thereof. In accordance with House Bill 11-1115, the City shall retain five percent (5%) of the value of the completed work. Retainage shall be held until final completion and acceptance of all work, as part security for the fulfillment of the Contract by the Contractor. The amount of the progress payments shall be the balance not retained as aforesaid, after deducting all previous payments and all other sums to be kept or retained under the provisions of this Contract. The Contractor shall have no right to either terminate the Contract or to claim damages if he considers partial payments inadequate.
Upon completion of all work whatsoever required including completion of all known defective work, the City shall file a written certificate with the Contractor as to the entire amount of work performed and compensation earned by the Contractor including Extra Work and compensation therefore, and including the date of completion.
After the filing of the Certificate of Completion, the City shall pay to the Contractor in accordance with applicable Colorado laws (Article 38, Chapter 26, Section 101 Et. Seq. Colorado Revised Statutes) and C.R.S. 38-26-107 (2012), upon authorization of funds disbursement by the City Council the amount therein stated, less all prior payments and advances whatsoever, to or for the Account of the Contractor. All prior estimates and payments including those relating to extra work shall be subject to correction by this payment.
The City, as a result of subsequent discovered evidence, may withhold or nullify the whole or a part of any payment to such extent as may be necessary to protect the City from loss on account of:
When the grounds for withholding payment have been corrected to the satisfaction of the City, the City shall proceed to process any amounts due.
The acceptance by the Contractor of the last payment made as aforesaid under the provisions of Article 19 shall operate as and shall be a release to the City, its officers, or agents from all claims and liability to the Contractor, his vendors, laborers or Subcontractors for anything done or furnished for, relating to, or for any act or neglect of the City or of any persons relating to, or affecting the work, except the claim against the City for the remainder, if any there be, of the amounts kept or retained as provided in Article 17, 19 and 20 of these. Said acceptance shall also operate as a general release of the City by the Contractor.
Neither the certification nor payment made to the Contractor, not partial or entire use or occupancy of the work by the City shall be an acceptance of any work or materials not in accordance with the Contract. The making and acceptance of the final payment shall constitute a bar of all claims by the Contractor, except those previously made in writing and still unsettled.
The Contractor shall guarantee the work against defective materials or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the final completion date. Upon discovery of any defects including any damage to other work resulting, repair and replacement that is required, in the opinion of the City, shall be done immediately by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense. Should the Contractor fail to repair such defective material and/or workmanship, or to make replacement within five (5) days after written notice by the City, it is agreed that the City shall make such repairs and replacements and the actual cost of the required labor and materials shall be chargeable to and payable by the Contractor.
The Contractor expressly undertakes expense:
To assume full responsibility for the preservation of all public and private property, and use every precaution necessary to prevent damage thereto. If any direct or indirect damage is done to public or private property or on account of any act, omission, neglect or misconduct in the execution of the work on the part of the Contractor, such property shall be restored by the Contractor, at their expense, to a condition similar or equal to that existing before the damage was done, or the Contractor shall make good the damage in another manner acceptable to the City. No representations are made by or on behalf of the City concerning the conditions, locations or state of repair or existing sewers, drains, water mains and other underground structures;
To store any apparatus, materials, supplies, and equipment in such orderly fashion at the site of the work as will not unduly interfere with the progress of any work by themselves or any other Contractor;

This tax exempt number is for State taxes only. The City of Wheat Ridge will issue its own tax exempt number for local sales tax purposes. An affidavit must be signed by the General Contractor for such project before the City tax exempt number can be issued. Please be advised that a supplier is allowed by Colorado law (C.R.S. 39-26-703 (1) to disallow any exemption because the seller is ultimately responsible for the tax. When a supplier exercises this right, please seek a refund of sales taxes paid from the appropriate jurisdiction (city or state).
A business license is required for all Contractors performing work in the City prior to beginning work. Please contact the City Sales Tax Division to obtain a license.
