WITNESSETH, that the Contractor and the Owner, for the considerations hereinafter named,
agree as follows:

extensions of time as are provided for in the General Conditions.
It is hereby understood and mutually agreed, by and between the Contractor and the Owner,
that the date of beginning, rate of progress and the time for completion of the work to be done
hereunder are ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS of this Contract. Contractor agrees that said work shall
be prosecuted regularly, diligently, and uninterruptedly at such rate of progress as will insure full
completion thereof within the time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed by and between
the Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the completion of the work described herein is a
reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic range
and construction conditions prevailing in this locality.
IF THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NEGLECT, FAIL OR REFUSE TO COMPLETE THE
WORK WITHIN THE TIME HEREIN SPECIFIED, then the Contractor does hereby agree, as a part
of the consideration for the awarding of this contract, to pay to the Owner the sum of Three Hundred

The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the
Owner because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual
damages the Owner would, in such event, sustain, and said amounts shall be retained from time to
time by the Owner from current periodical estimates.
It is further agreed that time is ofthe essence of each and every portion of this contract
and the specifications wherein a definite portion and certain length of time is fixed for the
performance of any act whatsoever; and where under the contract an additional time is allowed for
the completion of any work, the new time limit fixed by extension shall be the essence of the
Contract.
ARTICLE III - PAYMENT
A. THECONTRACTSUM
The Owner shall pay to the Contractor for the performance of the Contract the lump sum
amount as stated in the Proposal and schedule of items. No variations shall be made in the
lump sum amount except as set forth in the specifications attached hereto.

On not later than the fifth day of every month, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer an
estimate covering the percentage of the total amount of the Contract which has been
completed from the start ofthe job up to and including the last working day of the preceding

indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the application to the Owner,
or return the Application to the Contractor indicating in writing necessary corrections. In the

guarantees. It shall also constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contractor except those
previously made and still unsettled.
D.
If after the work has been substantially completed, full completion thereof is materially
. delayed through no fault of the Contractor, and the Engineer, so' certifies, the Owner shall
upon certificate ofthe Engineer, and without terminating the Contract, make payment of the
balance due for that portion of the work fully completed and accepted.

increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, performance of the Contract, an equitable
adjustment shall be made and the Contract modified in writing accordingly. Any claim of the
Contractor for adjustment hereunder shall not be allowed unless he has given notice as above
required; provided that the Engineer may, ifhe determines the facts so justify, consider and adjust any
such claims asserted before the date of final settlement to be made, the dispute shall be determined

Contractor, and which were not the result of his fault or negligence. Extension oftime for completion
shall also be allowed for any delays in the progress of the work caused by any act or neglect of the
Owner or of his employees or by other Contractors employed by the Owner, or delay due to an act
of Government, or by any delay in the furnishing of plans and necessary information by the Engineer,
or by any other cause which in the opinion ofthe Engineer entitles the Contractor to an extension of
time. Strikes and other labor disputes shall be cause for an extension of time.
The Contractor shall notify the Engineer promptly of any occurrence or conditions
which in the Contractor's opinion entitle him to an extension of time. Such notice shall be in writing
and shall be submitted in ample time to permit full investigation and evaluation of the Contractor's

If any part of the Contractor's work depends for proper execution or results upon the
work of any other Contractor, the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the Engineer any
defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. His failure so to
inspect and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other Contractor's work as fit and proper for
the reception of his work, except as to defects which may develop in the other Contractor's work after
the execution of his work.
To insure the proper execution of his subsequent work the Contractor shall measure work
already in place and shall at once report to the Engineer any discrepancy between the executed work
