RIDER Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 created a three-year program under which the Federal Government will share in the payment of covered losses caused by certain events of international terrorism. The Act requires that we notify you of certain components of the Act, and the effect, if any, the Act will have on the premium charged for this bond. Under this program, the Federal Government will cover 90% of the amount of covered losses caused by certified acts of terrorism, as defined by the Act. The coverage is available only when aggregate losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism exceed $5,000,000.00. Insurance carriers must also meet a variable deductible established by the Act. The Act also establishes a _ cap of$100 billion for which the Federal Government or an insurer can be responsible. Participation in the program is mandatory for specified lines of property and casualty insurance, including surety insurance. The Act does not, however, create coverage in excess of- the the amount of the bond, nor does it provide coverage for any losses that are other wise excluded by the terms of the bond, or by operation of law. No additional premium has been charged for the terrorism coverage required by the Act.

The Act requires that we notify you of certain components of the Act,and the effect, if any,the Act will have on the premium charged for this bond. Under this program, the Federal Government will cover 90% of the amount of covered losses caused by certified acts of terrorism, as defined by the Act. The coverage is available only when aggregate losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism exceed$5,000,000.00. Insurance carriers must also meet a variable deductible established by the Act. The Act also establishes a cap of$100 billion for which the Federal Government or an insurer can be responsible. Participation in the program is mandatory for specified lines of property and casualty insurance, including surety insurance. The Act does not, however, create coverage in excess of the amount of the bond, nor does it provide coverage for any losses that are otherwise excluded by the terms of the bond, or by operation of law. No additional premium has been charged for the terrorism coverage required by the Act.

Markup except for actual costs incurred in the handling of such materials will not be allowed. 3. Payment for materials from sources owned wholly or in part by the purchaser shall not exceed the price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from said sources on extra work items or the current wholesale price for such materials delivered to the work site, whichever price is lower. 4. If in the opinion of the ENGINEER the cost of material is excessive, or the CONTRACTOR does not furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost of such material, then the cost shall be deemed to be the lowest current wholesale price for the quantity concerned delivered to the work site less trade discount. The CITY reserves the right to furnish materials for the extra work and no claim shall be made by the CONTRACTOR for costs, overhead, and profit on such materials. d. Equipment: The CONTRACTOR will be paid for the use of equipment at the rental rate listed for such equipment specified in the Supplementary General Conditions. Such rental rate will be used to compute payments for equipment whether the equipment is under the CONTRACTOR's control through direct ownership, leasing, renting, or another method of acquisition. The rental rate to he applied for use of each items of equipment shall be the rate resulting in the least total cost to the CITY for the total period of use. If it is deemed necessary by the CONTRACTOR to use equipment not listed in the foregoing publication, an equitable rental rate for the equipment will he established by the ENGINEER. The CONTRACTOR may furnish cost data which might assist the ENGINEER in the establishment of the rental rate. 1. All equipment shall, in the opinion of the ENGINEER, be in good working condition and suitable for the purpose for which the equipment is to he used. 2. Before construction equipment is used on the extra work, the CONTRACTOR shall plainly stencil or stamp an identifying number thereon at a conspicuous location, and shall furnish to the ENGINEER, in duplicate, a description of the equipment and its identifying number. 3. Unless otherwise specified, manufacturer's ratings and manufacturer approved modifications shall be used to classify equipment for the determination of applicable rental rates. Equipment which has no direct power unit shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating recommended by the manufacturer. 4. Individual pieces of equipment or tools having a replacement value of $200 or less, whether or not consumed by use, shall be considered to be small tools and no payment will be made therefor. 5. Rental time will not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns. e. Equipment on the Work: The rental time to be paid for equipment on the work shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation on the extra work being performed and, in addition, shall include the time required to move the equipment to the location of the extra work and return it to the original location or to another location requiring no more time than that required to return it to its original location; except, that moving time will not he paid if the equipment is used on other than the extra work, even.though located at the site of the extra work. Loading and transporting costs will he allowed, in lieu of moving time, when the equipment is moved by means other than its own power, except that no payment will be made for loading and transporting costs when the equipment is used at the site of the extra work on other than the extra work. The following shall be used in computing the rental time of equipment on the work. 1. When hourly rates are listed, any part of an hour less than 30 minutes of operation shall be considered to be 1/2-hour of operation, and any part of an hour greater than 30 minutes will be considered one hour of operation. 2. When daily rates are listed, any part of a day less than 4 hours operation shall be considered to be 1/2-day of operation. 3. When owner-operated equipment is used to perform extra work to be paid for on a time and materials basis, the CONTRACTOR will be paid for the equipment and operator, as set forth in Subparagraphs (4), (5), and (6), following: DEMUTH PARK PLAYGROND RENOVATION CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT CITY PROJECT NO.02-15 GENERAL CONDITIONS-PAGE 25 en,)Inc 4.

Payment for the cost of labor and subsistence or travel allowance will be made at the rates paid by the CONTRACTOR to other workers operating similar equipment already on the Work, or in the absence of such labor, established by collective bargaining agreements for the type of workmen and location of the extra work, whether or not the operator is actually covered by such an agreement. A labor surcharge will be added to the cost of labor described herein in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 11.2b, herein, which surcharge shall constitute full compensation for payments imposed by state and federal laws and all other payments made to on behalf of workers other than actual wages. 6. To the direct cost of equipment rental and labor, computed as provided herein, will be added the allowances for equipment rental and labor as provided in Article 11.4, herein. 11.3 Special Services: a. Special work or services are defined as that work characterized by extraordinary complexity, sophistication, or innovation or a combination of the foregoing attributes which are unique to the construction industry. The following may be considered by the ENGINEER in making estimates for payment for special services: 1. When the ENGINEER and the CONTRACTOR, by agreement, determine that a special service or work is required which cannot be performed by the forces of the CONTRACTOR or those of any of its subcontractors, the special service or work may be performed by an entity especially skilled in the work to be performed. After validation of invoices and determination of market values by the ENGINEER, invoices for special services or work based upon the current fair market value thereof may be accepted without complete itemization of labor, material, and equipment rental costs. 2. When the CONTRACTOR is required to perform work necessitating special fabrication or machining process in a fabrication or a machine shop facility away from the job site, the charges for that portion of the work performed at the off-site facility may, by agreement, be accepted as a special service and accordingly, the invoices for the work may be accepted without detailed itemization. 3. All invoices for special services will be adjusted by deducting all trade discounts offered or available, whether the discounts were taken or not. In lieu of the allowances for overhead and profit specified in Article 11.4, herein, an allowance of 5 percent will be added to invoices for special services. b. All work performed hereunder shall be subject to all of the provisions of the Contract Documents and the CONTRACTOR's sureties shall be bound with reference thereto as under the original Agreement. Copies of all amendments to surety bonds or supplemental surety bonds shall be submitted to the CITY for review prior to the performance of any work hereunder. 11.4 CONTRACTOR's Overhead and Profit: a. Work ordered on the basis of time and materials will be paid for at the actual necessary cost as determined by the ENGINEER, plus allowances for overhead and profit. For extra work involving a combination of increases and decreases in the Work the actual necessary cost will be the arithmetic sum of the additive and deductive costs. The allowance for overhead and profit shall include full compensation for superintendence, bond and insurance premiums, taxes, office expense, and all other items of expense or cost not included in the cost of labor, materials, or equipment provided for under Paragraphs 11.21b, c, and d, herein including extended overhead and home office overhead. The allowance for overhead and profit will be made in accordance with the following schedule: ACTUAL OVERHEAD NECESSARY AND PROFIT COST ALLOWANCE Labor 24 percent Materials 15 percent Equipment 15 percent DEMUTH PARK PLAYGROND RENOVATION CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT CITY PROJECT NO.02-15 GENERAL CONDITIONS-PAGE 26 an?ma b. It is understood that labor, materials, and equipment may be furnished by the CONTRACTOR or by the subcontractor on behalf of the CONTRACTOR. When all or any part of the extra work is performed by a subcontractor, the allowance specified herein shall be applied to the labor, materials, and equipment costs of the subcontractor, to which the CONTRACTOR may add 5 percent of the subcontractor's total cost for the extra work. Regardless of the number of hierarchical tiers of subcontractors, the 5-percent increase above the subcontractor's total cost which includes the allowances for overhead and profit specified herein may be applied one time only for each separate work transaction. No markup allowance will be made for sub-sub-contractors or below. 11.5 Records: a. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain its records in such a manner as to provide a clear distinction between the direct costs of each separate item of extra work, disputed work, emergency work, or other work paid for on a Cost of Work basis and the costs of other operations. b. From the foregoing records, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish the ENGINEER completed Daily Work Reports, on forms furnished by the CITY, for each day's work or portion of each day's work to be paid for on a Cost of Work basis. The Daily Work Reports shall itemize the materials used, and shall cover the direct cost of labor and the charges for equipment rental, whether furnished by the CONTRACTOR, subcontractor, or other forces, except for charges described in Article 11.3, "Special Services." The Daily Work Reports shall provide names or identifications and classifications of all workmen, the hourly rate of pay and hours worked by each, and also the size, type, and identification number of equipment, and the hours operated. c. Material charges shall be substantiated by valid copies of vendor's invoices. Such invoices shall be submitted with the Daily Work Reports, or if not available, they shall be submitted with subsequent Daily Work Reports. Should said vendor's invoices not be submitted within 60 days after the date of delivery of the material or within 15 days after the acceptance of the Contract, whichever occurs first, the CITY reserves the right to establish the cost of such materials at the lowest current wholesale prices at which said materials were available in the quantities concerned delivered to the location of work less any discounts as provided in paragraph 11.2c, herein. d. Said Daily Work Reports shall be signed by the CONTRACTOR or its authorized representative. e. The ENGINEER will compare his or her records with the completed Daily Work Reports furnished by the CONTRACTOR and make any necessary adjustments. When these Daily Work Reports are agreed upon and signed by both parties, said reports shall become the basis of payment for the work performed, but shall not preclude subsequent adjustment based on a later audit by the CITY. f. The CONTRACTOR's cost records pertaining to work paid for on a Cost of Work basis shall be open to inspection or audit by representatives of the CITY, during the life of the contract and for a period of not less than 3 years after the date of acceptance thereof, and the CONTRACTOR shall retain such records for that period. Where payment or labor is based on the cost thereof to forces other than the CONTRACTOR, the CONTRACTOR shall make every reasonable effort to insure that the cost records of such other forces will be open to inspection and audit by representatives of the CITY on the same terms and conditions as the cost records of the CONTRACTOR. If an audit is to be commenced more than 60 days after the acceptance date of the contract, the CONTRACTOR will be given a reasonable notice of the time when such audit is to begin. ARTICLE 12 -- CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIMES 12.1 General: a. The Contract Times may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment of the Contract Times shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to the ENGINEER promptly (but in no event later than 30 days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within 60 days after such occurrence (unless the ENGINEER allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and shall be accompanied by the claimant's written statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event.
