WHEREAS, on February 24, 2023, the Village issued Invitation to Bid (the "ITB") No. 2023-
04 for construction of Village-wide storm water drainage improvements and roadway resurfacing (the
"Project"), which 1TB is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, the Project consists of the provision of construction work, including all labor,

of Work and the approved plans, drawings, and specifications attached hereto as Exhibit "A"; and
WHEREAS, in response to the Village's solicitation for the Project, Contractor submitted a
bid, which bid is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein; and
WHEREAS, on June 9, 2023, the Village Council adopted Ordinance No. 2023-11, selecting

contract with the Contractor for construction of the Project; and
WHEREAS, Contractor has represented to the Village that it possesses the necessary

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF WORK
1.1. Contractor hereby agrees to furnish all of the labor, materials, equipment, services and
incidentals necessary to perform all of the work described in the Contract Documents (the
"Work") including, without limitation as described in the approved plans, drawings and/or
specifications attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (the "Plans"), the 1TB and any Bidding

2. CONTRACT TIME

DocuSign Envelope ID: 22305039-C0D6-42EE-8B92-CFF 5B171 FA59
2.1. Contractor shall be instructed to commence the Work by written instructions in the form of
a Notice to Proceed providing a commencement date and issued by the Village Manager or
designee. The Notice to Proceed will not be issued until Contractor's submission to Village
of all required documents and after execution of this Contract.
2.2. Time is of the essence throughout this Contract. The Contractor shall prosecute the Work
with faithfulness and diligence and the Work shall be substantially completed within
ninety (90) calendar days from the date specified in the Notice to Proceed ("Contract
Time"). Substantial Completion shall be defined for this purpose as the date on which Village
receives beneficial use of the Project. The Work shall be fully completed in accordance
with the Contract Documents within one-hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the
date specified in the Notice to Proceed ("Final Completion Time"). The Final
Completion date is defined as the date determined by the Village when all Work, including
punch list items, has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents and
Contractor has delivered to Village all documentation required herein.
2.3. Upon failure of Contractor to substantially complete the Work within the Contract Time,
Contractor shall pay to Village the sum of Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) for each calendar
day after the expiration of the Contract Time that the Contractor fails to achieve Substantial
Completion up until the date that the Contractor achieves Substantial Completion. Upon
failure of Contractor to fully complete the Work and achieve Final Completion within the
Final Completion Time, Contractor shall pay to Village the sum of Two Hundred Dollars
($200.00) for each calendar day after expiration of the Final Completion Time that the
Contractor fails to achieve Final Completion up until the date that the Contractor achieves
Final Completion. These amounts are not penalties but are liquidated damages payable by
Contractor to Village for the failure to provide full beneficial occupancy and use of the
Project as required. Liquidated damages are hereby fixed and agreed upon between the
parties who hereby acknowledge the difficulty of determining the amount of damages that
will be sustained by Village as a consequence of Contractor's delay and failure of Contractor
to complete the Work on time. The above-stated liquidated damages shall apply separately
to each phase of the Project for which a time for completion is given.
2.4. Village is authorized to deduct the liquidated damages from monies due to Contractor for the
Work under this Contract. In case the liquidated damage amount due to Village by Contractor
exceeds monies due Contractor from Village, Contractor shall be liable and shall
immediately upon demand by Village pay to Village the amount of said excess.
3. CONTRACT PRICE
3.1. Village shall pay to Contractor for the performance of the Work an amount not to exceed
$1,014,229.50 in accordance with the line items and unit prices included in the Contractor's
Bid and Schedule of Bid Items (Pricing) attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and the total cost for
the provision of the Work for Areas 1, 2, and 4 detailed in the Bid Tabulation Sheet attached
hereto as Exhibit "C." This sum ("Contract Price") shall be full compensation for all services,
labor, materials, equipment and costs, including overhead and profit, associated with
completion of all the Work in full conformity with the Contract Documents and adjusted only
Village of Key Biscayne, FL Page 2 of23
DocuSign Envelope ID: 22305039-C0D6-42EE-8B92-CFF 5B171 FA59
by written change orders signed by both parties and approved as required by local law. The
Contract Price shall include all applicable sales taxes as required by law.
3.2. Village shall make progress payments, deducting the amount from the Contract Price
above on the basis of Contractor's Applications for Payment on or before twenty (20) days
after receipt of the Pay Application. Rejection of a Pay Application by the Village shall
be within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Pay Application. Any rejection shall specify
the applicable deficiency and necessary corrective action. Any undisputed portion shall be
paid as specified above. All such payments will be made in accordance with the Schedule
of Values established in the Contract Documents or, in the event there is no Schedule of
Values, as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. In the event the Contract
Documents do not provide a Schedule of Values or other payment schedule, Applications
for Payment shall be submitted monthly by Contractor on or before the 10th of each month
for the prior month. Progress payments shall be made in an amount equal to the percentage
of Work completed as determined by the Village or Village's Project Consultant, but, in
each case, less the aggregate of payments previously made and less such amounts as
Village shall determine or Village may withhold taking into account the aggregate of
payments made and the percentage of Project completion in accordance with the Contract
Documents and Schedule of Values, if any. The Contractor agrees that five percent (5%)
of the amount due for each progress payment or Pay Application (the "Retainage") shall
be retained by Village until final completion and acceptance of the Work by Village. In
the event there is a dispute between Contractor and Village concerning a Pay Application,
dispute resolution procedures shall be conducted by Village commencing within 45 days
of receipt of the disputed Payment Application. The Village shall reach a conclusion
within 15 days thereafter and promptly notify Contractor of the outcome, including
payment, if applicable.
3.3. Each Pay Application shall include an affidavit or partial release or waiver of lien by
Contractor indicating that partial payments received from the Village for the Work have
been applied by Contractor to discharge in full all of Contractor's obligations, including
payments to subcontractors and material suppliers.
3.4. The payment of any Application for Payment by the Village, including the final request
for payment, does not constitute approval or acceptance by the Village of any item of the
Work reflected in such Application for Payment, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of
any of the Village 's rights hereunder or at law or in equity.
3.5. Upon Final Completion of the Work by Contractor in accordance with the Contract
Documents and acceptance by the Village, and upon receipt of consent by any surety,
Village shall pay the remainder of the Contract Price (including Retainage) as
recommended by the Village's Project Consultant and Building Official. Final payment
is contingent upon receipt by Village from Contractor of at least one complete set of as
built plans, reflecting an accurate depiction of Contractor's Work.
3.6. This Contract is subject to the conditions precedent that: (i) Village funds are available and
budgeted for the Contract Price; (ii) the Village secures and obtains any necessary grants or
loans for the accomplishment of this Project pursuant to any borrowing legislation adopted
