Contractor Reference Check
On February 13,2009, I spoke with the following people:
Mr. Julian Garza(713-784-4500)of Edminster,Hinshaw, Rush and Associates, Inc.
Julian had no problems with Calco Contracting, Ltd. and said Calco did a good job on his
project. They didn't have many change orders and the projected was completed on
schedule. Julian was the PM for the project and referred me to Kirk Williamson, who
managed the construction phase, for more information. A voicemail was left for Mr.
Williamson.
Mr. Eddie Kirst(832-242-7200)of Kirst Kosmoski, Inc. Eddie said Calco did very good
work on his project,which involved a residential subdivision. Calco worked extremely
well with the neighbors and bent over backwards to keep them informed. This project
was for the City of Pearland.
Mr. Paul Wallick(713-462-3178)of Pate Engineers, Inc. According to Paul,Calco did a
very, very good job on his project. He said Calco is very trustworthy and honest. Paul
has used Calco on other projects and known them over the years. He has a lot of
confidence in them. Paul would not hesitate to use Calco for future projects. Paul's
comments were taken from his voicemail message.
Ms. Ruthie Sager(713-467-9762)of the City of Bunker Hill Village. Ruthie would use
Calco in a heartbeat. She had nothing but good things to say about them. Calco worked
well with their residents and their schedule,correspondence, and responsiveness were all
excellent. She indicated that the City Council gets disappointed when Calco doesn't win
a bid. A personal letter of recommendation from the City of Bunker Hill Village was
included with Calco's statement of qualification. Ruthie is the City Administrator for the
City of Bunker Hill Village.
I left voicemail messages for two other references, but didn't receive return phone calls.
The references were Century Engineering(713-780-8871)for a GSL Investments and
City of Houston project and Claunch&Miller(713-622-9264) for another City of
Houston project.

the ENGINEER shall decide justifies the delay. The CONTRACTOR shall give the ENGINEER

Upon receipt of a written request for an extension of the Contract Time from the CONTRACTOR,
supported by relevant and all requested documentation, the ENGINEER shall submit such written
request, together with his written recommendation, to the.OWNER for consideration. If the delay
is not attributable in whole or in part to any act or omission of CON TRACTOR, its subcontractors
or suppliers, and if the OWNER determines that CONTRACTOR is entitled to an extension of
time under the terms of the Contract, the OWNER shall grant an extension of time for Substantial
Completion of the Work, sufficient to compensate.for the delay, and such extension of time shall. .
be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy,except as may be otherwise provided herein. No

number of Weather or Impact Days approved less the original 40 days resident in the original
Contract Time:.The Addition of Weather or Impact Days will only alter the Contract Time when
added by Change Order. If the Work is completed prior to the.Completion Date,No Days will be

7.02 In accordance with paragraph 1:07 CONTRACTOR'S request to work weekends,
the Owner's Construction Manager shall,upon receipt of written notice by
the CONTRACTOR of the need to conduct work on otherwise non-Work
Days, prepare a cost estimate for providing Construction Management and
Inspection services during the requested period and submit this to both
OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If approved by both parties the
Construction Manager shall prepare a Deductive Change Order in the
amount stated in the estimate for the signature of the CONTRACTOR and
the OWNER for inclusion in the next Pay Application. The Deductive
Change Order must be signed and executed by both the OWNER and
CONTRACTOR prior to start of work on any non-Work Day.
7.03 MINOR CHANGES. The ENGINEER may authorize minor changes in the Work
not inconsistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents and not involving an increase in
Contract Price or time. If the CONTRACTOR believes that any minor changes authorized by the
ENGINEER involves Extra Work or entitles him to an increase in the Contract Price or the
Contract Time, the CONTRACTOR shall give notice of same by written request to the
ENGINEER for a written Work Order, with a copy to OWNER. Any such notice and request by
the CONTRACTOR shall be given prior to beginning the changed work. CONTRACTOR's
commencement of any minor change in the Work prior to such written notice and request shall
constitute a waiver of any and all claims for an increase in the Contract Price or the Contract Time
arising out of or related to such changed work.
7.04 EXTRA WORK. It is agreed that the CONTRACTOR shall perform all work
under the direction of the ENGINEER when presented with a written Change Order, Work
Change Directive or Work Order signed by the ENGINEER, subject, however, to the right of the
CONTRACTOR to require written confirmation of such Change Order, Work Change Directive or
Work Order by the OWNER. It is agreed that the basis of compensation or adjustment to the
CONTRACTOR for work either altered, added or deleted by a Change Order or Work Change

Directive, or for which a claim for Extra Work is made, shall be determined by one or more of the
(lb\ following methods:
Method(A) --By Contract unit prices applicable to the work, if any; or
Method(B) —By agreed unit prices or agreed stipulated lump sum price; or
Method(C) —If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) be agreed upon before the Extra
Work is commenced, then the CONTRACTOR shall be paid the "Actual
Field Cost" of the work, plus five percent (5%), as full and final
compensation for the Extra Work and all costs and expenses, direct or
indirect, arising out of or related thereto.
In the event said Extra Work or Change Order or Work Change Directive work is performed and
paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this paragraph shall apply and the "Actual Field
Cost" is hereby defined as the cost to the CONTRACTOR of all workers, such as foremen,
timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, and materials, supplies, trucks, rentals of machinery and
equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such alleged Extra Work or Change Order
or Work Change Directive work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred together
with all power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, plus all necessary incidental
expenses incurred directly on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security, Old Age
Benefits and other payroll taxes, and a rateable proportion of premiums on Performance and
Payment Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workers'
Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by law or ordinance, or the Contract
Documents,plus all payments to subcontractors for such work.
The ENGINEER may direct the form in which accounts of the "Actual Field Cost" shall be kept
and the records of these accounts shall be made available to the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER or
OWNER may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work
and the type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise these matters shall be
determined by the CONTRACTOR. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of
machinery and equipment shall be determined by using one hundred.percent (100%), unless
otherwise specified, of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense adopted by the
Associated General Contractors of America where practicable. The five percent (5%) of the
"Actual Field Cost" to be paid to the CONTRACTOR, shall cover and compensate him for his
profit, overhead, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "Actual Field
Cost" as herein defined, save that where the CONTRACTOR's field office must be maintained
solely on account of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall be
included in the"Actual Field Cost."
No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered by the ENGINEER in a
written Work Order. In case any orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the
CONTRACTOR to involve Extra Work for which he should receive compensation or an
adjustment in the Contract Time, he shall make written request to the ENGINEER for a written
Work Order authorizing such Extra Work within ten (10) days of ENGINEER's orders or
instructions, otherwise the orders or instructions will be considered minor changes. The issuance
05/2008 00700-29 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
of a Work Order by the ENGINEER shall not constitute or be construed as an agreement or
("b` acknowledgement by the ENGINEER that the work which is the subject of.the Work Order is
Extra Work outside the scope of the Contract Work,but shall merely constitute a direction to the
CON IRACTOR to perform the work, and the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work, and
shall keep an accurate account of the "Actual Field Cost"thereof, as provided under Method (C).
Upon completion of the alleged Extra Work, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly and within ten
(10) days submit his claim to the ENGINEER by proper certification and attestation, on forms
provided by the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER shall render a written decision on
CONTRACTOR's claim within ten (10) days. It is mutually agreed between the parties that the
ENGINEER's decision on all claims or questions in relation to the Work, CONTRACTOR's
performance of the Work, any changes in the Work or Extra Work, the Contract Price and/or the
Contract Time, shall be fmal and conclusive and binding upon the parties. If the ENGINEER
shall fail to respond in writing to CONTRACTOR's claim within thirty (30) days of the date of
submission, or if CONTRACTOR shall dispute or object to ENGINEER's decision on any claim,
and CONTRACTOR fails to file a Request for Mediation of such claim in accordance with the
provisions of Article 9.0, within sixty (60) days after the date of submission to.the OWNER, or
such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, the CONTRACTOR shall lose and
forfeit his right to make such claim for Extra Work at any later date, and all such claims held by
the CON TRACTOR shall be deemed waived, forfeited and forever barred. CONTRACTOR shall
continue to diligently prosecute the Work notwithstanding any pending claim, dispute, or dispute
resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
7.05 TIME OF FILING CLAIMS. Except as otherwise provided herein, all questions
of dispute or adjustment shall be in writing and filed with the ENGINEER within three (3) days
after the ENGINEER has given any directions, order or instruction to which the CONTRACTOR
desires to take exception. The ENGINEER shall reply within thirty (30) days to such written
exceptions, and render his fmal decision in writing. It is mutually agreed between the parties that
the ENGINEER's decision on all claims or questions in relation to the Work, CONTRACTOR's
performance of the.Work, any changes in the Work or Extra Work, the Contract Price and/or the
Contract Time, shall be fmal and conclusive and binding upon the parties. In case the
CONTRACTOR should desire to appeal from the ENGINEER's decision,,the CON IRACTOR
may request a meeting between representatives of the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR for the
purposes of appealing the ENGINEER's decision directly to the OWNER, such meeting to occur
within ten (10) days after the date of the CONTRACTOR's request, or such longer period as may
be agreed to by the parties in writing. If the CONTRACTOR shall still be aggrieved after a
meeting with the OWNER and/or his representative, the CONTRACTOR shall have sixty (60)
days after the date of the meeting, or such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, to
file a Request for Mediation of such claim in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.0. In the
event the CONTRACTOR shall fail, for any reason, to timely file a Request for Mediation, the
OWNER shall be released of any and all liability, and the CONTRACTOR's failure to timely file
a Request for Mediation shall constitute a waiver, forfeit and fmal bar of all such claims held by
the CONTRACTOR against the OWNER. CONTRACTOR shall continue to diligently prosecute
the Work notwithstanding any pending claim, dispute, or dispute resolution process between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR.

8.0 DEFAULT
8.01 DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR. In case the CONTRACTOR should abandon
and fail or refuse to resume Work within five (5) days after written notification from the OWNER
or the ENGINEER, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the orders of the ENGINEER
when such orders are consistent with the Contract Documents, or if the CONTRACTOR otherwise
defaults on its obligations under the Contract, OWNER shall have the right, if it so elects and
without prejudice to any other rights it may have, after giving five (5) days written notice of
default to CONTRACTOR and any surety, to terminate the Contract or any part thereof and/or to
take over or cause others to take over the Work or any part thereof, and to complete such Work for
the account of CONTRACTOR. Where Performance and Payment Bonds exist, the sureties on
these bonds shall be directed to complete the Work in conjunction with the notice of default, and a
copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR.
After receiving said notice of default,the CONTRACTOR shall promptly and within no more than
three (3) days, remove from the Work any machinery, equipment, or tools then on the job, not
intended for incorporation into the Work. Should CONTRACTOR fail to promptly remove such
machinery, equipment or tools, OWNER may remove such machinery, equipment or tools and
store same at CONTRACTOR's expense; return such machinery, equipment or tools to their
purported owner; or otherwise dispose of such machinery, equipment or tools as OWNER sees fit.
Any materials, supplies and/or equipment delivered for use in the Work, may be used in the
completion of the Work by the OWNER or the surety on the Performance Bond, or another
contractor in completion of the Work; it being understood that the use of such equipment, supplies
and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the Work and be reflected in the final
settlement.
Where there is no Performance Bond or in case the surety should fail to commence compliance
with the notice for completion hereinabove provided for within ten (10) days after the service of
such notice,then the OWNER may provide for completion of the Work in either of the following
elective manners:
(a) The OWNER may thereupon employ such force of workers and use such.
machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies as the OWNER may deem
necessary to expeditiously complete the Work, and charge the expense of such
labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said.
CONTRACTOR, and expense so :charged shall be deducted and paid by the
OWNER out of such monies as may be due or that may thereafter at any time
become due to the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this Agreement or any
other agreement between OWNER and CONTRACTOR. In case such expense is
less than the sum which would have been payable under this Contract if the same
had been completed by the CONTRACTOR, then said CONTRACTOR shall be
credited with the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum which
would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed by
such CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall promptly
pay the amount of such excess to the OWNER upon demand; or
05/2008 00700-31 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
(b) The OWNER, under sealed bids, under the times and procedures provided for by
(a"'"'N1 law, may let the contract for completion of the Work under substantially the same
terms and conditions which are provided in this Contract. In case of any increase in
cost to the OWNER under the completion contract, as compared to what would
have been the cost under this Contract, such increase shall be charged to the
CONTRACTOR, and the amount of such increase may be deducted by the
OWNER out of such monies as may be due or that may thereafter at any time
become due to the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this Agreement or any
other agreement between OWNER and CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR
and/or his surety shall promptly pay the amount of such increase to the OWNER
upon demand. However, should the cost to complete any such completion contract
prove to be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this
Contract,the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall be credited therewith.
In the event of a default by CONTRACTOR, no further payments shall be made to
CONTRACTOR under the Contract until the Work is Finally Completed. When the Work shall
have been Finally Completed, the CONTRACTOR and his surety shall be so notified. A complete
itemized statement of the Contract accounts, certified by the ENGINEER as being correct, shall
then be prepared and delivered to the CONTRACTOR and his surety, whereupon the
CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement. The
OWNER, prior to incurring an obligation to make payment hereunder, shall have such statement
of completion attested to by the CONTRACTOR and the surety as accurate, and in exchange for
payment of the sum stated therein, the OWNER shall be entitled to a full and final release of any
claims or demands by the CONTRACTOR or the surety.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that
which would have been the cost to the OWNER had the work been completed by the
CONTRACTOR under the terms of this Contract, or when the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety
shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the OWNER, then all machinery, equipment,
tools or supplies left on the site of the Work shall be turned over to the CONTRACTOR and/or his
surety. Should the cost to complete the Work exceed the Contract Price, and the CONTRACTOR
and/or his surety fail to pay the amount due the OWNER within the time designated above, and
there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies which are the property of
CONTRACTOR on the site of the Work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such
equipment and materials, shall be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his surety at the respective
addresses designated in the Contract, provided, however, that actual written notice given in any
manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing or other giving of such notice, such property
shall be held at the risk of the CONTRACTOR and his surety, subject only to the duty of the
OWNER to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date
of such notice, the OWNER may sell such property, equipment, tools, materials or supplies, and
apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the CONTRACTOR and his surety. Such
sale may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the OWNER may
elect. The OWNER shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies, which
remain on the Work, and belong to persons other than the CONTRACTOR or his surety, to their
reputed owners.

8.02 SUPPLEMENTATION OF CONTRACTOR FORCES. If CONTRACTOR at any
(11.16'`, time shall, in OWNER'S sole opinion, fail to furnish skilled workers, suitable materials, supplies
or adequate equipment sufficient for the prompt, timely and diligent prosecution of the Work in
accordance with OWNER's direction, OWNER shall have the right, without prejudice to the
exercise of other remedies for the same default and without fully taking over the Work, to
supplement CON TRACTOR's forces and to expedite delivery of and to procure and furnish such
workers, materials, tools, supplies or equipment for CONTRACTOR's account by employing
other contractors and suppliers engaged in the same class of work and charge the entire cost
thereof to CONTRACTOR, said cost to be deducted from sums due or to become due to
CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any other agreement with OWNER or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliate of OWNER.
8.03 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES & SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. All rights and
remedies of OWNER, under the terms of the Contract and/or available at law or in equity, are
cumulative. In the event CONTRACTOR or any of its subcontractors, vendors or suppliers fails
or refuses for any reason to provide timely manufacture, fabrication, delivery, installation,
erection, construction or completion of any supplies, materials, expendables, equipment,
machinery, accessories or appurtenances to be furnished hereunder, CON TRACTOR
acknowledges and agrees that such items are required, necessary, essentially unique to the Project
and the Work and will cause irreparable harm to OWNER and the Project if not furnished in
accordance with the Contract, and OWNER shall have the right to obtain a decree of specific
performance and mandatory injunctive relief from any Court of competent jurisdiction to ensure
the timely furnishing of such items.
(Ia.\ 8.04 CROSS-DEFAULT. If, for any reason, CONTRACTOR is declared in default
and/or terminated by OWNER under any other agreement with OWNER, whether related to the
Project or not related to the Project, OWNER shall have the right to offset and apply any amounts
which might be owed to OWNER by CONTRACTOR under any other such agreements against
any earned but unpaid amounts owing to CON TRACTOR by OWNER under the Contract, any
retainage earned by CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any unearned, unpaid amount under
the Contract.
8.05 INSOLVENCY. It is recognized that if CONTRACTOR becomes a debtor in
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his insolvency, such events could seriously
impair or frustrate CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work. Accordingly, it is agreed that
should CONTRACTOR become a debtor in bankruptcy, either voluntary or involuntary,
CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of the filing with
the bankruptcy court. Further, it is agreed that upon occurrence of any one or more such events,
OWNER shall be entitled to request of CONTRACTOR or its successors, trustees or receivers,
adequate assurances of future performance. In the event such adequate assurances are not given to
the reasonable satisfaction of OWNER within seventy-two (72) hours of such request, OWNER
shall have the right to immediately invoke the remedies of this Section 8 or as provided by law.
Pending receipt of such adequate assurances of such future performance, OWNER may proceed
with the Work on a temporary basis and deduct the costs, plus reasonable overhead and profit,
from any amounts due or which may become due to CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any
other agreement with OWNER. In this regard, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that delays in
performance could result in more damages to CONTRACTOR than would be sustained if
OWNER failed to exercise such remedies.

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
(11"‘ 8.06 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT. CON 1'RACTOR hereby assigns to OWNER, all
of CONTRACTOR's rights under and interest in any and all subcontracts and/or purchase orders
entered into by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement, such assignment to become effective
upon CON 1'RACTOR's default under this Agreement or OWNER's termination of this Contract,
and OWNER's acceptance of such assignment. Upon CONTRACTOR's default or OWNER's
termination of this Contract, OWNER may, in the event there is no performance bond for the
Contract, or in the event the performance bond surety fails to complete the Contract, or if OWNER
otherwise so elects in its sole discretion, accept such assignment by written notice of such
acceptance to CONTRACTOR and subcontractor, and may require subcontractors to perform all
of the then unperformed duties and obligations under the subcontract, for the direct benefit of
OWNER. In the event OWNER requires such performance by a subcontractor, then OWNER
shall be obligated to pay such subcontractor any amounts due and owing under the terms of the
subcontract/purchase order, at the subcontract prices and rates, and subject to any rights of
withholding or offset and other terms and conditions of the subcontract, for all work properly
performed by such subcontractor, to the date of OWNER's acceptance and thereafter. OWNER's
liability in this connection, however, shall not exceed the amount obtained by subtracting all
payments made by CONTRACTOR to subcontractor from the Subcontract Price at the time of
CONTRACTOR's default or OWNER's termination of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall
include a provision in its subcontracts that allows such assignment and allows OWNER to take
these actions, and further provides that in the event of CONTRACTOR's termination for default,
the subcontractor agrees to give the OWNER or its agent the right to inspect all books and records
of subcontractor relating to the Work.
8.07 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. CONTRACTOR expressly
waives any and all claims for consequential damages against OWNER arising out of or related to
this Contract, or any other agreements between CONTRACTOR and OWNER, including,but not
limited to, claims for damages incurred by CONTRACTOR for principal office expenses,
including the compensation of personnel stationed there, losses of financing, bonding capacity,
business and reputation, and claims for lost profit,whether on this Contract or otherwise.
8.08 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. OWNER may at its sole discretion,
upon five (5) days written notice to CONTRACTOR, terminate this Contract, in whole or in part,
if and when OWNER determines that it is in the best interest of OWNER to do so. Upon receipt
of such written notice from OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall cease all terminated Work and take
reasonable precautions to protect and preserve such work, and shall take all reasonable measures
after consultation with OWNER to terminate or assign to OWNER all subcontracts, purchase
orders or other commitments related to the Work or the Project on terms and conditions acceptable
to OWNER. CONTRACTOR will be paid for all Work performed in strict accordance with the
Contract Documents, based upon the Contract Price and the percentage of completion on the date
of termination, and less amounts previously paid, subject to any reasonable backcharges
attributable to CONTRACTOR's failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Contract and
further subject to the other terms of this Contract regarding payment. In no event will
CONTRACTOR receive or be entitled to any payment or compensation whatsoever for
interruption of business or loss of business opportunities, any other items of consequential
damages,for overhead or loss of profits on the unperformed Work and/or services and unfurnished
materials or for any intangible, impact or similarly described cost, damages or expense, and under
no circumstances shall the total sum paid to or received by CONTRACTOR under this Contract
05/2008 00700-34 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
exceed the Contract Price. The compensation provided herein shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and
exclusive remedy arising out of a termination for convenience.
8.09 DEFAULT BY OWNER. In case the OWNER shall default on its material
obligations under this Contract, other than OWNER'S failure to pay CONTRACTOR an
undisputed amount due within the time limits provided in the Contract or applicable law, as
addressed by Section 6.13 of this Agreement, and shall fail or refuse to cure, or to commence and
diligently pursue cure of such default within fifteen (15) days after written notification by the
CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR may suspend or wholly abandon the Work, and may
remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of the Work
that have not been included in payments to the CONTRACTOR and have not been incorporated
into the Work. And thereupon, the ENGINEER shall make an estimate of the total amount earned
by the CON TRACTOR, which estimate shall include the value of all Work actually completed by
said CONTRACTOR (at the Contract Prices), the value of all partially competed Work at a fair
and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or
provided for by the terms of this Contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any
provisions made by the CONTRACTOR to carry the whole Work to completion and which cannot
be utilized. The ENGINEER shall then make a final statement of the balance due the
CONTRACTOR by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the OWNER and
all other sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement, and shall
present the same to the OWNER, and OWNER's payment of said sum to the CONTRACTOR, on
or before thirty (30) days after OWNER's receipt of such statement, shall satisfy any and all
rights, claims or causes of action of CONTRACTOR arising out of or related to such default by
OWNER, and shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy for such default. A disputed
or unilateral claim by the Contractor cannot by itself constitute a default hereunder.
9.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any dispute or pending claim or dispute resolution process between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR shall not excuse or relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligations under the Contract,
and CONTRACTOR shall diligently prosecute the. Work notwithstanding any pending claim,
dispute, or dispute resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
All claims, disputes and other matters in question arising out of or relating to,the Contract,
or the breach thereof, shall be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to any other dispute
resolution process as may be selected by OWNER. Unless mutually agreed otherwise the
mediation shall be conducted by a third party who will be selected by agreement between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR, and Request for Mediation shall be filed with the other party. The
parties shall share the mediator's fee and any filing fees equally.
If a claim, dispute or other matter in question between OWNER and CONTRACTOR
involves the work of a subcontractor or supplier, OWNER or CONTRACTOR may join such
subcontractor or supplier as a party to any mediation proceeding between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR hereunder. CONTRACTOR shall include in all subcontracts and/or purchase
orders related to the Work a specific provision whereby the subcontractor or supplier consents to

CITY OF PEARLAND EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL
FOR UTILITIES
2. For all types of shoring, support trench walls in the pipe embedment zone
throughout the installation. Provide trench wall supports sufficiently tight to
prevent washing the trench wall soil out from behind the trench wall support.
3. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer,leave sheeting driven into or below
the pipe embedment zone in place to preclude loss of support of foundation
and embedment materials. Leave rangers,walers,and braces in place as long
as required to support sheeting,which has been cut off, and the trench wall in
the vicinity of the pipe zone.
4. Employ special methods for maintaining the integrity of embedment or
foundation material. Before moving supports,place and compact embedment
to sufficient depths to provide protection of pipe and stability of trench walls.
As supports are moved,finish placing and compacting embedment.
5. If sheeting or other shoring is used below top of the pipe embedment zone,do
not disturb pipe foundation and embedment materials by subsequent removal.
