The contract period is established from the Notice to Proceed issued by the Engineer for a period of 150 days, including weekends and holidays. The work should be substantially complete at that time, unless the Contractor has been granted an extension by methods defined and prescribed herein.
2.1.1 Liquidated Damages:
Failure of the Contractor to meet this established timeframe will result in liquidated damages being assessed in the amount of $1,000/day for each and every calendar day beyond the contract time limit. 2.1.2 Time Is of The Essence:
Time is of the essence for this contract as execution of the work may inconvenience property owners, vehicular traffic, pedestrians and adversely affect business in the area; therefore it is essential that the work be pressed vigorously to completion. Also the cost of Town administration and supervision of construction, will be increased as the time occupied in the work is lengthened, and the deprivation to the residents of the Town of the needed improvement on herein contract may cause damages to the Town.
In the event the Contractor fails to perform the work in a timely manner due to the Contractor's poor planning, financial status, errors in construction or any other reason directly attributed to the Contractor's circumstances, the Town may institute default proceedings against the Contractor to recover damages and losses. Any payments due the Contractor may be withheld pending final determinations, and the bonding company for the performance of the work on this contract may be notified of impending actions that may be warranted.
If any delay is imposed on the Contractor by specific orders of the Engineer, i.e.; to stop the work (for reasons other than failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents), material or labor strikes, acts of God, etc., such delay will entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time. When extra or additional work is ordered by the Engineer, the Contractor will be allowed an extension of time expressed in days as determined by the Engineer. The Contractor shall submit a written request for an extension of time, along with reasons for the request. A written response will be transmitted to the Contractor with a determination by the Town as to whether or not an extension of time will be granted. See Section 2.2 Modification Procedures for issuance of change orders and/or time extensions.
13
Work is expected to be completed in one construction season. Work during the 817 winter shutdown will be allowed with appropriate cold weather plans. Substantial completion is both courses of pavement in place. 2.1.3 Commencement of Work
The Contractor shall commence work on the day specified in the Notice to Proceed issued by the Engineer; and shall fully complete the work within the number of consecutive calendar days from said date as hereinafter specified as the period for completion of his contract, unless such period shall be extended as hereinafter provided by the Town.
2.2 Modification Procedures
A. Construction Change Directive: Engineering Department may issue a document, signed by Town of New Milford, instructing Contractor to proceed with a change in the Work, for subsequent inclusion in a Change Order. 1. The document will describe changes in the Work, and will designate method of

C. Computation of Change in Contract Amount: 1. For change requested by Engineering Department for work falling under a
fixed price contract, the amount will be based on Contractor's price quotation. 2. For change requested by Contractor, the amount will be based on the

3.3 Time for Receiving Bids Bids received prior to the advertised hour of opening will be securely kept, sealed. The officer whose duty it is to open them will decide when the specified time has arrived, and no Bid received thereafter will be considered; except that when a Bid arrives by U.S. Mail after the time fixed for opening, but before the reading of all other Bids is completed, and it is shown to the satisfaction of the Owner that the non-arrival time was due solely to delay in the mails for which the Bidder was not responsible, such Bid will be received and considered.
3.4 Opening of Bids At the time and place fixed for the opening of Bids, the Owner will cause to be opened and publicly read aloud every Bid received within the time set for receiving Bids, irrespective of any irregularities therein. Bidders and other persons interested may be present, in person or by representative.
3.5 Withdrawal of Bids Bids may be withdrawn on written or telegraphic request dispatched by the Bidder in time for delivery in the normal course of business to the time fixed for opening; provided, that written confirmation of any telegraphic withdrawal over the signature of the Bidder is placed in the U.S. Mail and postmarked prior to the time set for Bid opening. The Bid Guaranty of any Bidder withdrawing his Bid in accordance with the foregoing conditions will be returned promptly.
3.6 Award of Contract: Rejection of Bids If the Contract is awarded, it will be awarded to the responsible Bidder submitting the lowest Bid complying with the conditions of the Invitation for Bids and Instructions to Bidders. The Bidder to whom the award is made will be notified at the earliest possible date. The Owner, however, reserves the right to reject any and all Bids and to waive any informality in Bids received whenever such rejection to waiver is in its interest.
3.6.1 Basis of Award:
Bids, as stated in the "Bid Sheet", will be compared on the basis of the sum of the quantities multiplied by respective unit prices, added to lump-sum prices. In the event that there is a discrepancy in the bid sheet between the lump-sum or unit
15
prices written in words and figures, the prices written in words shall govern. The Town agrees to examine and consider each bid submitted in consideration of the Bidder's Agreements, as herein above set forth in the Bid Sheet.
ALTERNATE’s NOTE: Alternate bid items shall include the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, time extension or deletion, general conditions, general requirements, overhead, profit, insurance, for the work. Claims for extras resulting from the acceptance or rejection of any alternate item will not be allowed.
If any bid for such Alternates is obviously unbalanced either in excess of, or below reasonable fair market values, then the entire bid will be considered nonresponsive, and the bid will be rejected.
The Award of Contract will be made to the lowest responsible bidder for the “Base Bid” work – which does not include the bid price for any Alternate. The Town will award all 5 roads to one bidder.
The Owner shall have the right to accept or omit any Alternate.
The Drawings, Specifications and other Contract Documents shall be considered appropriately modified by either the acceptance or omission of any Alternates.
The contract completion date(calendar days) may be adjusted if any of the Alternates is added. The additional days granted should be considered to perform the alternate work only and substantial completion based on base bid items and contract days.
Sample:
A-K shall add additional days while J-O shall be during contract time.
The days added shall be at the agreement of the Owner and Contractor but exclusive of other work, extensions or alternates added.
Other requests on the base bid for time extensions will be approved/rejected by the Engineer.

After award of the contract, one or more of the alternates for which funds are available may be added to the Contract in the discretion of the Owner. The adjustment to the bid price shall be solely based on the bid price for the alternate(s) added. The Contractor will be notified as to which alternates will be included in the Contract within fourteen(14) calendar days of the Award of Contract.

30
4.1.1 Unit Price
The Unit Price for each of the items in the Bid of each Bidder shall include its prorated share of overhead and profit so that the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the quantity shown for each item by the Unit Price Bid represents the Total Bid. The quantities shown in the Bid are approximate estimated quantities only and are given only as a basis of calculation upon which the Award of the Contract is to be made. The Owner does not assume any responsibility that these quantities shall remain unchanged in the actual construction, and the Contractor shall not plead misunderstanding or deception because of any variation between estimated and final quantities. The Unit Price Bid shall also include an allowance for increased prices due to changed market conditions during the period of the Contract. Any Bid not conforming to these requirements may be rejected. The special attention of all Bidders is called to these provisions, for should conditions make it necessary to revise the quantities, no limit will be fixed for such increased or decreased quantities, nor extra compensation allowed, except for work not covered in the Drawings and Technical Specifications Bids in which the prices obviously are unbalanced may be rejected. Unbalanced prices shall be interpreted to mean that the unit price for any item is such that it is unreasonable for that particular item when considered by itself and not considered in connection with the bid submitted on any other item or items. 4.1.2 Computation of Quantities:
For estimating quantities in which the computation of areas by Geometric methods would be comparatively laborious, it is agreed that the Planimeter shall be considered an instrument adapted to the measurement of such areas.

Unless otherwise provided for by a specific Contract Item, no separate payment shall be made for any of the requirements as described in the above General Specifications, but shall be deemed included in the total bid price for all the work in this Contract. All unit price work will include the cost of performing any incidental work, not specifically covered by the unit description, but necessary and/or convenient for the completion of the unit price work. (i.e., Any excavation will include any necessary pumping and/or sheeting/shoring unless there are separate contract unit prices for pumping and/or sheeting/shoring.) The Contractor shall accept compensation, as herein provided, as full payment for furnishing all materials, labor, tools, equipment, and incidentals necessary to provide the completed work as described in the contract documents; and also for all loss or damage arising from the nature of work, any unforeseen difficulties, actions of the elements which may be encountered during the prosecution of the work, until the final acceptance by the Engineer. The payment of any partial estimate or retainage, except by and under Final Payment defined herein, in no way shall affect the obligation of the
31
Contractor to repair or replace any defective portion of the construction and/or to be responsible for all damages due to such defects. 4.1.4 Partial Payments:
Partial payments shall be made monthly as the work progresses. By the fifth (5th) day of each month an application for payment should be submitted by the Contractor to the Town's designated field representative, for verification and approval of quantities and costs incurred during said pay period.

All prior estimates and payments, including those relating to extra work, shall be subject to correction by this payment, which throughout this contract is called the FINAL PAYMENT.
4.3.1 Acceptance Of Final Payment Constitutes Release:
The acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment, shall be and shall operate as a release to the Town of all claims and of all liability to the contract or for all things done or furnished in connection with this work, and for every act of the Town and others relating to or arising out of this work, accepting the Contractor's claim for interest upon the final payment, if the payment is improperly delayed.

32
equipment delivered at the site of the work. The term "laborers" as used herein, shall include workmen and mechanics.
