§9.6.1 Delete this subparagraph and substitute the following: “After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment, the

Owner shall make payment within a timely manner.”

§9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT Delete this paragraph.

§9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION Delete this paragraph in its entirety and substitute the following:

§9.8.1 Substantial completion is the stage in progress of the work when the work is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use. The Architect shall determine if the project is substantially complete in accordance with this Subparagraph.

§9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work is Substantially Complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the

Architect a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor's list, the Architect will make an inspection to determine whether the Work is substantially complete. A prerequisite to the work being accepted as substantially complete is the Owner's receipt of the executed Roofing Contractor's and Roofing Manufacturer's guarantee's, where roofing work is part of the Contract. Prior to inspection by the Architect, the Contractor shall notify the Architect that the project is ready for inspection by the State Fire

Marshal's office. If the Architect's inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the Contractor's list, which is not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use, the Contractor shall, before acceptance of the work as Substantially Complete, complete or correct such item upon notification by the Architect. In such case, the Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by the

Architect to determine Substantial Completion.

§9.8.4 When the Architect determines that the project is Substantially Complete, he shall prepare a "punch list of exceptions and the dollar value related there-to. The monetary value assigned to this list will be twice the estimated actual value of the work. The cost of these items shall be prepared in the same format as the schedule of values. None of these funds shall be due the Contractor until all punch list items are completed and are accepted by the Architect. If the dollar value of the punch list exceeds the amount of funds, less the retainage amount, in the remaining balance of the contract, then the project shall not be accepted as substantially complete. If funds remaining are less than that required to complete the work, the contractor shall pay the difference. If delivery of material or equipment, required as part of the punch list work, is beyond the control of the contractor, the Contractor's completion time shall be extended and his surety so notified.

§9.8.5 When the "punch list" is complete the Architect shall prepare a Recommendation of Acceptance" incorporating the punch list and submit it to the Owner. Upon approval of the Recommendation of Acceptance, the Owner may issue a Notice of Acceptance of Building Contract which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion. The Contractor will record the

Notice of Acceptance with the Clerk of Court in the Parish in which the work has been performed. If the Notice of

Acceptance has not been recorded seven (7) days after issuance, the owner may record the acceptance at the Contractor's expense.

§9.8.6 Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Owner and Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Owner and

Contractor, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work not covered by the punch list and insurance shall become the Owner's responsibility on the Date of Substantial Completion.

§9.8.7

If all punch list items have not been completed by the end of the forty-five (45) day lien period, through no fault of the Architect or Owner, the Owner may hold the Contractor in default. If the Owner finds the Contractor is in default, the

Surety shall be notified. If within forty-five (45) days after notification, the Surety has not completed the punch list, through no fault of the Architect or Owner, the Owner may, at his option, contract to have the balance of the work completed and pay for such work with the unpaid funds remaining in the Contract sum. Finding the Contractor in default shall constitute a reason for disqualification of the Contractor from bidding on future state contracts. If the surety fails to complete the punch list within the stipulated time period, the Owner may not accept bonds submitted, in the future, by the surety.

§9.9 PARITIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE

§9.9.1 Delete this subparagraph and substitute the following: "Partial Occupancy is that stage in the progress of the Work when designated portion of the Work is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so the Owner can occupy or utilize the designated portion of the work for its intended use. The Owner may occupy or use any substantially completed portion of the work so designated by separate agreement with the Contractor and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the work. Such occupancy or use may commence provided the Owner and Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the work and commencement of





MOSS ARCHITECTS, INC. Page 5 of 6 warranties required by the contract documents. When the contractor considers the designated portion substantially complete the contractor shall prepare and submit a list to the Architect as provided under Subparagraph 9.8.2. Consent of the

Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonable withheld."

§9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT

§9.10.1 After the first sentence, add the following: “If the Architect does not find the work acceptable under the Contract

Documents, the Architect shall make one additional inspection; if the work is still not acceptable, the Architect, and each of the Architect's principal consultants, shall be paid $100.00/hour for their time at the project site, for each additional inspection, to be withheld from the unpaid finds remaining in the Contract sum. The payment shall be made by the owner and deducted from the construction contract funds.”

§9.10.6 Add this subparagraph: "In response to Federal Arbitrage regulations: If such compliance has not been effected within 90 days of the date of acceptance, the contract shall be terminated and no further opportunity will be granted the

Contractor and no further payments will be made on this contract".

5.

The CONTRACTOR shall perform the scope of work hereunder in accordance with all plans and specifications, instructions, general and/or standard terms and conditions, any addenda issued and the “Bid” documents, including alternates, unit prices and allowances (if applicable) as well as complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

7.

Independent Contractor Status

The CONTRACTOR shall provide the services contemplated under this agreement as an independent contractor and not as an employee, agent, joint venturer, subcontractor or partner of the PARISH.

The CONTRACTOR is rendering a service, other than manual labor, for a specified recompense for a specified result either as a unit or as a whole, under the control of the

8.

upon or violate any third party’s rights or any federal, state or municipal laws, including the proper handling of any waste disposals that may result from the services provided herein.

While both parties agree to negotiate all contractual disputes in good faith, the PARISH reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time upon written notice of termination, in which event, the CONTRACTOR will be reimbursed for all construction activity, products and/or services satisfactorily provided up until the date of termination. Either party may terminate this agreement “for cause” with written notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days stating the cause for termination. Upon receipt, the other party shall have thirty (30) days to satisfactorily remedy, correct or remove the cause for termination. If the notice of termination is by the PARISH then the PARISH may withhold payment of any costs and fees related to, arising from or incidental to the stated cause or causes for termination.

If the parties are unable to independently and satisfactorily resolve any disagreement then both parties agree that any contractual disagreement will be resolved under the jurisdiction of the 14 th

Judicial District Court for Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. In addition, if it is necessary to enforce this agreement in any judicial or arbitration forum, then the parties agree that whoever substantially prevails in the litigation shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as fixed by the Court or Arbitrator.

9.

Severability, Entire Agreement and Captions

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana. If any provision of this agreement is held invalid, void or unenforceable under any law or regulation or by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be deemed amended in a manner which renders it valid, or if it cannot be so amended, it will be deemed to be deleted. Such amendment or deletion will not affect the validity of any other provision of this agreement. This agreement, any attached documents, and any referenced documents, including the “Bid” documents, represent the entire agreement between the PARISH and the

R-1020I(11/04)

Designation of Construction Contractor as Agent of a

Governmental Entity and Exemption Certificate

General Information

Purpose of the R-1020 Form: Agencies and instrumentalities of federal or Louisiana state or local government may designate a construction contractor as its authorized agent for the purpose of purchasing construction materials, leasing and renting tangible personal property, and purchasing taxable services. Form R-1020 serves as the documentation by which the government entity and contractor document the agency relationship to vendors of materials and services. It also serves as documentation that the contractor’s purchases are sales tax exempt, and therefore serves as an exemption certificate, which the vendor must retain on file to support the deduction he will claim on his sales tax return. Effective 11-1-2004, the R-1032 exemption certificate will no longer be necessary.

Use of the R-1020 Form: The form must be signed by both parties, contractor and governmental entity. After signature, both the contractor/agent and the governmental entity must keep an original copy of the form on file, along with other documents that pertain to the construction project. (Effective 11-1-2004) Do not send a copy of the R-

1020 form to the Louisiana Department of Revenue. Retain your copy of the original certificate on file. The contractor/agent must reproduce the original copy as needed to attach a copy to each purchase order for materials for the project. The reproduced copy will serve as the exemption certificate that will document the exempt sale of materials to the contractor/agent.

Subcontractors.

A designated contractor may not re-designate his subcontractors as authorized agents for the governmental entity. Each subcontractor must obtain its own designation from the governmental entity.

Title to Property: Any materials purchased by the agent through the use of this certificate immediately become the property of the governmental entity upon delivery to the contractor/agent.

Restrictions as to Vendors: The governmental entity may choose to restrict the agent/contractor to making purchases from a pre-selected list of vendors and providers of services. This restriction, if applicable, must be incorporated into a contractual agreement between the governmental entity and the designated agent. If there are no vendor restrictions, the contractor/agent may use the R-1020 Exemption Certificate to make sales tax exempt purchases from any vendor.

, an agency of the United

Legal Name of Governmental Entity

This designation and acceptance of agency is effective for the period

Beginning Date (mm/dd/yyyy) End Date (mm/dd/yyyy)

Purchases for the named project during this period by the designated contractor shall be considered as the legal equivalent of purchases directly by the governmental body. Any materials purchased by this agent shall immediately, upon the vendor’s delivery to the agent, become the property of this government entity. This government entity, as principal, assumes direct liability to the vendor for the payment of any property, services, leases, or rentals made by this designated agent. This agreement does not void or supersede the obligations of any party created under any construction contract related to this project, including specifically any contractual obligation of the construction contractor to submit payment to the vendors of materials or services for the project.

This contractor-agent is not authorized to delegate this purchasing agency to others; separate designations of agency by this governmental entity are required for each contractor or sub-contractor who is to purchase on behalf of this governmental entity. The undersigned hereby certify that this designation is the entirety of the agency designation agreement between them. In order for a purchase for an eligible governmental entity through a designated agent to be eligible for sales tax exemption, the designation of agency must be made, accepted, and disclosed to the vendor before or at the time of the purchase transaction.
