Furthermore, please note the City’s average time for a Contractor to apply for and receive an approved permit is 30 days; delays in this timeline caused by the Contractor’s failure to actively monitor the permit process and submit all required documentation in a timely manner, will count against the project’s contractual completion period.

The Owner’s Contingency may be based on a specified percent of the proposed project amount and shall be established for the specific project being performed under the contract. This dollar amount shall be shown on the specific project purchase order as a distinct item from the vendor’s overall offer to determine the total potential dollar value of the contract. Any Owner’s Contingency funds that have not been utilized at the end of the project will remain with the City, if the permit fees exceed the Owner’s Contingency indicated, the City will reimburse the contractor the actual amount of the permit fees required for project completion.
All costs shall be supported by properly executed payrolls, time records, invoices, or vouchers, or other official documentation evidencing in proper detail the nature and propriety of the charges.
