A-I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I IF THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NEGLECT, FAlL, 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 the Owner the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500), not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for such breach of contract as hereinafter set forth, for each and every calendar day that the contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated in the Contract for completing the work. 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 of the 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 additional time is allowed for the completion of a work, the new time limit fixed by extension shall be the essence of this contract.

(b) Progress Payment No later than the fifth day of every month, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner's Engineer, an estimate covering the percentage of the total amount of the contract which has been completed from the start of the job up to and including the last working day of the proceeding month, together with such supporting evidence as may be required by the Owner and/or the Engineer. This estimate shall include only the quantities in place and at the unit prices as set forth in the Bid Schedule. On the vendor run, following approval of the invoice for payment, the owner shall after deducting previous payments made, pay to the Contractor 90% of the amount of the estimate on units accepted in place. The 10% retained percentage may be held by the Owner until the :final completion and acceptance of all work under the Contract. A-2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ARTICLE IV - ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT (a) Upon receipt of written notice that the work is ready for final inspection acceptance, the Engineer shall within 10 days, make such inspection and when he finds the work acceptable under the contract and the contract fully performed, he will promptly issue a final certificate, over his own signature, stating that the work required by this Contract has been completed and is accepted by him under the terms and conditions thereof, and the entire balance found to be due the Contractor, including the retained percentage, shall be paid to the Contractor by the owner within 15 days after the date of said final certificate. (b) Before final payment is due, the Contractor shall submit evidence satisfactory to the Engineer that all payrolls, material bills, and other indebtedness connected with work have been paid, except that in case of disputed indebtedness of liens of evidence of payment of all such disputed amounts when adjudicated in cases where such payment has not already been guaranteed by surety bond. ( c) The making and acceptance of the final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Owner, other than those arising from unsettled liens, from faulty work appearing within 12 months after final payment, from requirements of the specifications, or from manufacturer's 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 certification of the Engineer, and without terminating the contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the work fully completed and accepted. (e) Notwithstanding any provision of the General Conditions, there shall be no substitution of materials or change in means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction that are not determined to be equivalent to those indicated or required in the Contract Document, without an Amendment to the Contract.. Each payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.

At least twenty days before each progress payment is scheduled (but not more often than once a month). CON- TRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for review an Appli- cation 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 OW1':1ER has received' the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens. charges. security interests and encumbrances (which are hereinafter in these General Conditions referred to as "Liens"Y, 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 sat- isfactory 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 any Appli- cation for Payment. whether incorporated in the Project or not. will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens. Review of Applications for Progress Payment: 14.4. ENGINEER will. within ten 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 indi- cating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to rec- ommend payment. In the latter case. CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Applica- tion, Ten days after presentation of the Application for Pay- ment with ENGINEER's recommendation. the amount rec- ommended will (subject to the provisions of the last sentence ofPanlsraPh 14.7) become due and when due will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. (In accordance with the Georgia Prompt Pay Act ) 14.5. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a 26 I I representation by ENGINEER to OWNER. based on ENGI- NEER's on-site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI- NEER's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying. data and schedules that the Work has pro- gressed to the point indicated: that. to the best of ENGI- NEER'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 quamities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9.10. and to any other qualifi- cations stated in the recommendation I: and that CONTRAC. TOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However. by recommending any such payment ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaus- tive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quamity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specitically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC- TOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. I I I I I I I 14.6. ENGINE~R's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRAC- TOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. I I 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 pay- ment. or. because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests. nullify any such payment previously recommended. to such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: I I 14.7.1. the Work is defectil'e. or completed Work has been damage? requiring correction or replacement. I 14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Writ- ten Amendment or Change Order. I 14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct dl!.f{'(", ri,'e Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13,14. or I 14.iA. ot" ENGINEER's actual knowledge of [he occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.~.lthrough 15.~.9 inclusive. I OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER because claims have been made agamst O\VN ER on account or" CONTRACTOR's per- formance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling I I OWNER to a set-off against the amount recommended. but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action. Subst/lnti4i 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 ENGI- NEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter. OWNER. CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall.make an inspection of the Work to deter- mine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not con- sider 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.

USAGE: The Contractor shall sequence the work in such a manner as to allow the installation of markings in the final lane configuration at the earliest possible stage. Inappropriate or conflicting existing pavement markings shall be removed. When shifting of traffic necessitates removal of centerline, lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall be removed prior to, during, or immediately after any change so as to present the least interference with traffic. Before any change in traffic lane(s) alignment, marking removal equipment shall be present on the project for immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures occur, the equipment shall be repaired or replaced (including leasing equipment if necessary), s.o. that the removal can be accomplished without delay. Except for the final surface, markings on asphaltic concrete may be obliterated by an overlay course, when approved by the Engineer. When an asphaltic concrete overlay is placed for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings and the in place asphaltic concrete section will allow, said overlay will be eligible for payment only if designated in the Plans. Overlays to obliterate lines will be paid for only once and further traffic shifts in the same area shall be accomplished with removable markings. Only the minimum asphaltic concrete thickness required to cover lines (generally 60 IbJsq. yd. of Asphaltic Concrete "H") will be allowed. Excessive build-up will not be permitted. When an overlay for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings is not allowed, the markings no longer applicable shall be removed in accordance with Subsection 656.02, The elimination of conflicting pavement markings by overpainting with paint or liquid asphalt is not acceptable. D. Raised pavement markers (RPMs) are required as listed below for all asphaltic concrete pavements before the roadway is open to traffic. When Portland Cement Concrete is an intermediate or final surface and is open to traffic, one calendar day is allowed for cleaning and drying before the installation of RPMs is required. .

The Following Projects May Not Significantly Adversely Affect The Quality Of The Environment: For projects that will cause land disturbance and for which there is no anticipation .that the project may significantly adversely affect the qualit'j of the environment, certain studies will be undertaken. These studies would serve to document whether or not the County or municipality should anticipate that a project might significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment. Documentation of the studies will be accomplished through the use of the "GEPA Investigation Studies" checklist. The types of projects that would fall under the category, would include: 1. Bridge replacement projects on new location or with a detour bridge, where there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact to wetlands. 2. Passing lanes, median additions and widening projects, where there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact to wetlands. 3. Safety and intersection improvements where there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact to wetlands. 4. Rest area projects and truck weigh stations with no purchase of additional right-of-way. 5. New location projects where there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact to wetlands. If studies demonstrate that the project will not significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment, project files will be documented. Ifstudies demonstrate that the project may significantly a.dversely affect the quality of the environment, development of an environmental effects report (EER) will be undertaken along \vith full GEP A compliance. C. The Following Projects May Significantly Adversely Affect The Quality Of The Environment: This category of projects may include major widening and new location projects. If such projects result in a significant adverse effect, an EER shall be prepared. D.
