21. Progress Payments
a. Payment for all work under the Contract will be made promptly by the City at the price
or prices bid, and those prices shall include full compensation for all approved
incidental work.
b. Contractor shall make progress estimates of work performed in any calendar month
and submit to the City for approval, before the fifth of the following month, or as
mutually agreed between the Contractor and City. These estimates shall include value
of labor performed and materials incorporated in the work since commencing work
under the Contract. Such estimates need not be made by strict measurements and
may be approximate only and shall be based upon the whole amount of money that will
become due according to terms of the Contract when Project has been completed. The
City may include in payments eighty five percent(85%) of the cost to Contractor of
materials or equipment not yet incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably
stored at the site, or at some other location agreed upon in writing. Such a payment
shall be conditioned upon submission by the Contractor of bills of sale or such other
documentation satisfactory to the City Attorney to establish the City's title to such
materials or equipment or otherwise protect the City's interest including applicable
insurance and transportation to the site, and a statement from Contractor explaining
why it is necessary to procure said equipment and/or materials. When such payments
are made,the Contractor warrants and guarantees that the title to all materials and
equipment covered by a progress payment,whether incorporated in the project or not,
will pass to the City upon receipt of such payment by the Contractor,free and clear of
all liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances. Notwithstanding the above,when
the progress estimate indicates that the progress payment would be less than one
thousand dollars ($1,000), no progress payment will be made for that estimate period,
unless approved by the City.
c. If the Contract price is determined, in whole or in part, on a Lump Sum basis,
Contractor shall prepare an itemized cost breakdown relating thereto and have the City
approve same before commencing work; progress estimates based on said itemized
cost breakdown may be the basis for progress payments. Upon direction by the City,
Contractor shall provide for revision of the costs breakdown to reflect the true costs of
the work as it progresses.
d. If the Contract price is determined wholly on a unit basis, City may use unit prices bid in
making progress estimates on the work. In case said unit prices do not, in the opinion
of the City, truly represent actual relative costs of different parts of work, a percentage
of the Unit Price may be used in making progress estimate adjustments.
e. If the City receives written notice of any unsettled claims for damage or other costs due
to Contractor's operations including, without limitation, claims from any City
City of Ashland 40
Department or other governmental agency, an amount equal to the claim maybe
withheld from the progress payments,final payments or retainage until such claim has
been resolved to the satisfaction of City.
f. Progress payments will be made by City on a monthly basis within thirty(30) days from
sign off by the Contractor of the progress payment or fifteen (15) days after the payment
is approved by City of work performed,whichever is the earlier date. Failure to pay
progress payments within the timeframe set forth above will result in the imposition of
interest as required by ORS 279C.570(2)(3). Defective or improper invoices will be
addressed as set forth in ORS 279C.570(4)(5)(6).
g. Payment will be issued by City for the amount of the approved estimate, less five
percent(5%) retainage. Except as provided in paragraph 19 above and the applicable
ORS Sections noted herein, such amount of retainage shall be withheld and retained by
City until it is included in and paid to Contractor as part of the final payment of the
Contract amount. Upon Substantial Completion of the work under the Contract which
shall be understood to be not less than ninety-seven and one-half percent(97.5%) of
the work,the City may, at its discretion, reduce the retained amount equivalent to not
less than one hundred percent(100%) of the contract value or estimated value or
estimated cost, whichever is greater, of the work remaining to be done. [279C.570(7)]
h. The City may decline to approve an application for payment and may withhold such
approval if, in the City's opinion, and in good faith,the work has not progressed to the
point indicated by the Contractor's submittal. The City may also decline to approve an
application for payment or may reduce said payment or, because of subsequently
discovered evidence or subsequent inspections, City may nullify the whole or any part
of any payment previously made to such extent as may be necessary in their opinion to
protect the City from loss because of: (1) defective work not remedied, (2)third party
claims filed or failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors
for labor, materials or equipment, unless Surety consents to such payment,
(3) reasonable doubt that the work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the
Contract sum, (4) damage to another contractor's work, (5) reasonable indication that
the work will not be completed within the Contract time, (6) unsatisfactory prosecution
of the work by the Contractor, (7) claims against the Contractor by the City, (8)failure to
submit a construction schedule or failure to keep said construction schedule updated,
or(9) exceeding work limits. When any or all of the criteria set forth above have been
remedied satisfactorily to the City, payment shall be made for amounts withheld
because of them. Withholding of progress payments or partial payments under the
criteria set forth above shall not entitle the Contractor to interest on such withheld
payments or partial payments, except as provided in ORS 279C.570(9).
i. If Contractor fails to complete the Project within the time limit fixed in the Contract or
any extension, no further estimate may be accepted, or progress or other payments
allowed until the Project is completed, unless approved otherwise by City. Progress
estimates are for the sole purpose of determining progress payments and are not to be
relied on for any other purpose. A progress payment is not considered acceptance or
approval of any work or materials or waiver of any defects therein. [ORS 279.570(2)].

portion of the work is considered substantially complete. If it appears to the City that

work is substantially complete,the City shall, within fifteen (15) days after receiving
notice, make an inspection and either accept the work or notify Contractor of work yet
to be performed. If accepted, City shall prepare a Certificate of Substantial
Completion, Exhibit E. Upon acceptance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion

make a final inspection. The City may make a general list of major work components

(15) days after receiving notice, make a final inspection and either accept the work or
notify Contractor of work yet to be performed on the Contract. A Certificate of Final
Completion shall not be prepared until all provisions of the Contract have been met,
including but not limited to,the submission by the Contractor of a signed Certificate of
Compliance, Exhibit F and executed "Release of Liens and Claims" (Exhibit G).

of Final Completion acceptingthe work as of a certain date.The Contractor shall execute
and return the final pay estimate and Certificate of Final Completion within five (5)working
days of receipt. Unless otherwise provided as a Special Provision,when City accepts the
Certificate of Final Completion,the date the Contractor signs the Certificate of Final
Completion shall be the date the City accepts Ownership of the work and the start date of
the warranty period. The contractor may substitute a Warranty Bond in replacement of the
Performance and Payment Bonds in accordance with Section 29.The City shall include in
the final pay estimate an addition to the contract amount for any contract deduction from
the contract amount for any liquidated damages and a deduction from the contract price in
a fair and equitable amount for any damages to the City or for any costs incurred or likely to
be incurred by the City due to Contractor's failure to meet any contract provision or
specification other than timely completion.
If the Contractor believes the quantities and amounts specified in the final pay estimate
prepared by the City to be incorrect, Contractor shall submit to the City within five (5)
working days of receipt of the City's final pay estimate, an itemized statement of any and all
claims for additional compensation under the Contract which are based on differences in
measurements or errors of computation. Any such claim not so submitted and supported
by an itemized statement within said period is expressly waived and the City shall not be
obligated to pay the same.
The Contractor shall commence any suit or action to collect or enforce the claim or claims
for any additional compensation arisingfrom errors of computation in the final estimate
within a period of one(1)year following the original mailing of the City's final estimate and
Certificate of Final Completion to the Contractor's last known address as shown in the
records of City. The City's issuance of a revised final estimate pursuant to this subsection
City of Ashland 42
does not alter the original final estimate date. If said suit, action or proceeding is not
commenced in said one(1)year period,the final estimate and Certificate of Final
Completion or revised final estimate and Certificate of Final Completion, if revisions are
made, shall be conclusive with respect to the amount earned by the Contractor, and the
Contractor expressly waives any and all claims for compensation and any and all causes of
suit or action for the enforcement thereof that Contractor might have had.
Upon return of the fully executed Certificate of Final Completion from the Contractor,the
City will submit the Certificate of Final Completion and final estimate to the City for
approval. Upon approval and acceptance by the City, Contractor will be paid a total
payment equal to the amount due under the Contract including retainage within thirty(30)
days in accordance with ORS 279C.570. Failure to pay within 30 days shall implicate the
interest on final payment/retainage requirements of ORS 279C.570(8).
Monies earned by the Contractor are not due and payable until the procedures set forth in
the contract documents for inspection, approval and acceptance of the worl<; for
determination of the worl<done and the amount due therefore;for the preparation of the
final estimate and Certificate of Final Completion and processing the same for payment; for
consideration of the Contractor's claim, or claims, if any; and for the preparing of a revised
final estimate and Certificate of Final Completion and processing same for payment all
have been carried out.
As a prerequisite to final payment, if Contractor is not domiciled in or registered to do
business in the State of Oregon,the Contractor will provide City with evidence that the
requirement of ORS 279A.120(3) has been satisfied.
If City declares a default of the Contract, and Surety completes said Contract, all payments
made after declaration of default and all retainage held by City shall be paid to Surety and
not to Contractor in accordance with the terms of the Contract.
Acceptance by Contractor of final payment shall release City from any and all claims by
Contractor whether I<nown or unl<nown, arising out of and relating to the worl<. No payment,
however,final or otherwise, shall operate to release Contractor or its Sureties from
warranties or other obligations required in the performance of the Contract.
Disputes as to compensation resolved in favor of the contractor implicate the interest
provisions of ORS 279.570(9).
23. Change Orders/Extra Work
The Contractor agrees to complete this Contract in accordance with the attached
specifications and requirements, including any change orders. A change order submitted by
the City must be agreed upon by the Contractor and the City, and in the event of failure to so
agree, the City may then proceed with any additional worl<in any manner the City may choose.
A decision by the City to proceed to have worl<done by another party shall in no way relieve
either the Contractor or City of this Contract and neither will such action be cause for
collection of damages by either party to the contract, one from the other. Only the City
designated Contracting Officer or individual with delegated contracting authority can authorize
extra (and/or changed)worl<and compensation. Such authorization must be in writing. The
City of Ashland 43
parties expressly recognize that, except when such order is in writing by an individual with
delegated authority, City personnel are not authorized to order extra (and/or) changed work or
to waive contract requirements or authorize additional compensation. Failure of the
Contractor to secure City authorization for extra work shall constitute a waiver of any and all
claims or rights to adjustment in the contract price or contract time due to such unauthorized
extra work and thereafter Contractor shall be entitled to no compensation whatsoever for the
performance of such work. Contractor further expressly waives any and all right or remedy by
way of restitution and quantum meruit for any and all extra work performed by Contractor
without express and prior authorization of the City.

entitlement of a subcontractor to a payment or a late payment interest penalty under a

be included as a party in any administrative or judicial proceeding involving such a
dispute. [279C.580(2)]

City of Ashland 45
Inspection and acceptance of all work required under this contract shall be performed by the
City. The Contractor shall be advised of the acceptance or of any deficiencies in the
deliverable items.
26. Liquidated Damages
City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence of this Contract and that City will
suffer substantial financial loss if the project work is not completed within the timeframe
specified in Section (1) of the Public Improvement Contract. City and Contractor also
recognize the delays, expense, and difficulties involved in proving in a legal or other dispute
resolution preceding the actual loss suffered by City if the project work is not completed on
time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, City and Contractor agree that as
liquidated damages for delay(but not as a penalty) the Contractor shall paythe City a dollar
amount per day based on calculations set forth in the Oregon Standard Specifications for
Construction and the Special Provisions for this project,for each and every day that elapses in
excess of the contract time or the final adjusted contract time. If no such dollar amount is
specified,the applicable liquidated damages rate shall be five hundred dollars ($500) per day
for each day the work exceeds the contract time of the final adjusted contract time. This
amount is a genuine pre-estimation of the damages expected because of a delay in the
completion of this project.
Any sums due as liquidated damages shall be deducted from any money due or which may
become due to the Contractor under this Contract. Payment of liquidated damages shall not
release the Contractor from obligations in respect to the fulfillment of the entire contract, nor
shall the payment of such liquidated damages constitute a waiver of the City's right to collect
any additional damages which may be sustained by failure of the Contractor to complete the
work on time. Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the project work or any part
thereof after the contract time, or adjusted contract time, has expired shall in no way operate
as a waiver on the part of the City or any of its rights under this contract. The City may in its
discretion grant the Contractor an extension of time upon a showing made by the Contractor
that the work has been unavoidably delayed by conditions beyond the control of the parties.
27. Liability, Indemnity and Hold Harmless
Contractor warrants that all its work will be performed in accordance with generally accepted
practices and standards as well as the requirements of applicable federal, state, and local
laws, it being understood that acceptance of Contractor's work by City shall not operate as a
waiver or release. The Contractor shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend City, its officers,
agents, and employees from any and all liability, actions, claims, losses, damages or other
costs of whatsoever nature, including attorney's fees and witness costs(at both trial and
appeal level,whether or not a trial or appeal ever takes place)that may be asserted by any
person or entity arising from, during or in connection with the performance of the work, actions
or failure to perform actions, and other activities of Contractor or its officers, employees,
subcontractors or agents, under this contract, including the professional negligent acts, errors,
or omissions of Contractor or its officers, employees, subcontractors, or agents except liability
arising out of the sole gross negligence of the City and its employees. The Contractor shall
assume all responsibility for the work and shall bear all losses and damages directly or
indirectly resulting to the Contractor,to the City, and to their officers, agents, and employees
City of Ashland 46
on account of(a)the character or performance of the work, (b) unforeseen difficulties, (c)
accidents, or(d) any other cause whatsoever.The Contractor shall assume this responsibility
even if(a)fault is the basis of the claim, and (b) any act, omission or conduct of the City
connected with the Contract is a condition or contributory cause of the claim, loss, damage or
injury. Contractor waives any and all statutory or common law rights of defense and
indemnification by the City. Such indemnification shall also cover claims brought against City
under state or federal workers compensation laws. Contractor shall also defend and indemnify
City from all loss or damage that may result from Contractor's wrongful or unauthorized use of
any patented article or process. If any aspect of this indemnity shall be found to be illegal or
invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the
remainder of this indemnification. Any specific duty or liability imposed or assumed by the
Contractor as may be otherwise set forth in the Contract documents shall not be construed as
a limitation or restriction of the general liability or duty imposed upon the Contractor by this
section. In the event any such action or claim is brought against the City,the Contractor shall,
if the City so elects and upon tender by the City, defend the same at the Contractor's sole cost
and expense, promptly satisfy any judgment adverse to the City or to the City and the
Contractor jointly, and reimburse the City for any loss, cost, damage, or expense, including
attorney fees, suffered or incurred by the City.
28. Insurance

coverage as described in Exhibit B. All costs for such insurance shall be borne by the
Contractor and shall be included in the contract price. In case of the breach of any provision of
this section,the City may elect to take out and maintain at the expense of the Contractor such
insurance as the City may deem proper. The City may deduct the cost of such insurance from
any monies that maybe due or become due the Contractor under this Contract. Failure to
maintain insurance as provided is also cause for immediate termination of the Contract.
Contractor shall furnish City certificates of insurance acceptable to City prior to execution by
the City and before Contractor or any subcontractor commences work under this Contract.
The certificate shall show the name of the insurance carrier, coverage,type, amount(or limits),
policy numbers, effective and expiration dates and a description of operations covered. The
certificate will include the deductible or retention level and required endorsements. Insuring
companies or entities are subject to City's acceptance. If requested, copies of insurance
policies shall be provided to the City. Contractor shall be responsible for all deductibles, self-
insured retention's, and/or self-insurance. Approval of the insurance shall not relieve or
decrease the liability of the Contractor hereunder.

CITY OF ASHLAND NONDISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICY FOR
CONTRACTORS
1. GENERAL POLICY OF NON-DISCRIMINATION
It is the policy of the City of Ashland to promote equal opportunity to all persons regardless
of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, marital status, handicap, or political
affiliation, in respect to employment, public services, facilities and accommodations. This
policy is reinforced by obligations assumed by the City as a condition of receipt of federal
and state funds. This policy thus becomes an obligation which must be assumed by the
Contractor as well. Because in some cases religion, sex, age, or disability may properly be
the basis for denial or restriction of privileges with respect to employment, public services,
facilities or accommodations, the following more specific obligations, terms, or conditions
shall apply.
2. DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF
With respect to terms and conditions of employment and hiring only,the Contractor shall be
deemed to have complied with the general obligation of according equal opportunity without
regard to religion if every reasonable effort has been made to accommodate the particular
religious beliefs or practices of an employee or applicant for employment, but such
accommodation cannot be made without undue hardship to the employer.
3. DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF SEX
With respect to terms and conditions of employment and hiring only,the Contractor shall be
deemed to have complied with the general obligation of according equal opportunity
notwithstanding any rule, standard, practice, or decision which accords an employee or
applicant different treatment because of sex, if such rule, standard, practice, or decision is
based upon a bona fide occupational qualification which the employer cannot, without
undue hardship, modify or waive to accommodate the employee or applicant.
With respect to public services, facilities, and accommodations the Contractor shall be
deemed to have complied with the general obligation of according equal opportunity
notwithstanding any rule, standard, practice, or decision which restricts or limits access to
such on a basis of sex where:
A. Physical facilities such as restrooms, bathing facilities, dressing rooms, etc. must be
segregated on the basis of sex to accord personal privacy or comply with local, state,
or federal law, or ordinance, or administrative regulation; or
B. The content or subject matter of a program or service is clearly of benefit to persons
of a particular sex only because it deals with medical, psychological, or sociological
factors inherently linked to the characteristics of one sex only, or its effectiveness in
providing benefit to persons of one sex would be unreasonably and adversely

6. DEFINITIONS
As used in this Policy, there are several terms specifically defined in various federal, state,
and local laws, ordinances, and administrative regulations applicable either because of the
City's receipt of federal or state funds, or because they are general laws and ordinances
prohibiting discrimination. In addition,judicial and administrative decisions have created an
additional body of law further defining these terms in their application. Because of the
magnitude and complexity of these various legal definitions and interpretations, it is not
City of Ashland 68
possible to provide exhaustive definitions herein. The Contractor should be guided by the
following general rules:
A. Where two separate legal definitions or interpretations may apply in a given situation,
the one according the greatest degree of protection to the person entitled to their
protection shall govern.
B. "Disability" and "handicap" are intended to be synonymous.
C. The Contractor is not entitled to advisory opinions or advice from City representatives
as regards the specific application of this policy. It is up to the Contractor, and their
own legal counsel to ascertain compliance with this policy, federal, state and local
law. The City expressly disclaims any responsibility for the Contractor's reliance on
advice or opinions given by City representatives.
D. The Contractor is cautioned that restrictions in deeds, leases, collective bargaining
agreements, and other contracts may not in every case justify an otherwise
discriminatory act, policy, or practice. The Contractor must, at his own risk and
expense, comply with this Policy regardless of contractual restrictions which do not
justify Contractor's acts, policies, or practices.
7. ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
A. In all advertising, postings, and promotional material relating to hiring, the
Contractor shall include the following statement:
(name of contractor) is an equal opportunity employer and does not
discriminate in hiring, promotion, layoff, discipline, transfer, compensation, or other

marital status, handicap, or political affiliation."

"An Equal Opportunity Employer".
B. In all advertising, postings, and promotional material relating to programs and
services funded in whole or in part under a contract with the City of Ashland, the
Contractor shall include the following statement:
"This (program or service as applicable) is open to all persons without regard
to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, marital status, handicap or political
affiliation. For further information about this equal opportunity policy, contact name
of contractor's representative) at (phone number)
8. RETALIATION
The Contractor shall not, in any manner, accord different or unequal treatment to or in any
way discriminate against any person because of such person's filing of or participation in any
grievance or complaint of discrimination contrary to its policy, whether such grievance or
complaint is logged with the City of Ashland, or any state or federal court or agency.
9. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
