Liquidated Damages Contractor shall be liable for and shall pay District the sum of $1,000 per day as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, for each calendar day of delay after the date specified in the Solicitation or any extension thereof granted by District for completion of work until the work is complete. Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to District without limiting District's right to terminate the Contract for default as provided elsewhere herein. District shall grant an extension for completion of work if the work is delayed for an unforeseeable cause beyond the control and without fault of Contractor and Contractor notifies District in writing immediately in writing of the cause of the delay and provides sufficient information for District to determine whether an extension is justified. The District shall determine whether an extension is justified in its sole discretion. Retention Retention will be held in accordance with R7-2-1104. Ten percent retention shall be retained by the school district as insurance of proper performance of the contract. When fifty percent completed, one-half of the amount retained shall be paid to the contractor upon the contractor's request provided the contractor is making satisfactory progress. Subcontractors Each bidder shall submit with the bid, a complete list of all subcontractors the bidder proposes to use, if applicable. Failure to submit a subcontractor's list may constitute sufficient grounds on which to reject the bid. It is the responsibility of the bidder to insure Mesa Schools that all subcontractors hold a valid commercial license and are bonded through the State of Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Only subcontractors who are properly licensed and bonded for performance and labor and materials payment for this work shall be retained by the contractor. The bidder shall supply proof of certification, as stated in this Request for Proposal, for any subcontractors they may retain. This shall be a minimum requirement in evaluating the acceptability of a subcontractor. The Mesa Unified School District reserves the right to reject proposed subcontractors. All subcontractors must be approved by the school district prior to start of work. It is the responsibility of the bidder to ascertain that all subcontractors are properly insured prior to commencing work on Mesa School property. Verification that the subcontractors are properly licensed through the State of Arizona will be done prior to making a recommendation to the governing board. If a subcontractor fails to fulfill the responsibilities as set forth by the general contractor, the general contractor will then be allowed up to, and including, five (5) calendar days to replace the vacancy resulting from the non-responsive subcontractor. This vacancy is to be filled by another subcontractor who is properly insured and licensed and bonded by the State of Arizona Registrar of Contractors. It is the responsibility of the general contractor to advise the District that a subcontractor has been replaced by another qualifying subcontractor. The contract sum shall not be increased by the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution. If the Contractor refuses to provide an acceptable substitution at the same contract sum, this bid shall be rejected and the next lowest bidder will be considered, the previous low bidder being in default on his bid and no longer eligible for consideration. The rejected bidder's Bid Bond shall, at the District's discretion be subject to forfeiture. Extra Work The contractor shall perform such extra work and charge the owner at actual cost of labor and materials. The contractor shall have the right to add not more than 10% to the subcontractor's prices for authorized extra work performed solely by the subcontractor's. Such percentage shall include all of the contractor's charges for overhead, profit, administration and supervision. A 10% mark-up for overhead, profit, administration and supervision may be added to the contractor's cost of labor and materials for extra work authorized to be done by their own forces. The subcontractor's maximum allowable additions for overhead, profit, administration and supervision shall not exceed 10% of cost of labor and materials. The contractor and subcontractors will not be allowed any additional compensation beyond the allowable markups for overhead, profit, administration and supervision as noted above. Note: Any additional work must have prior written approval by the District Representative, before the contractor proceeds with work.
