CONTRACT ID. NO.: C0000122467N01 The intent of this Contract is to provide for furnishing sufficient labor and equipment, delivering goods and services, and maintaining adequate material on hand to respond to the Department's need for timely completion of the Work assigned by Task Order in one or more of the Department's Construction Districts. This Contract shall be in accordance with Task Order plans and sketches and the Specifications and provisions herein. The estimated bid quantities are based on existing conditions or quantities historically used in the geographic area of the Contract. Renewable On Call contracts will serve as a cost effective and timely response contracting method when the Department anticipates the need for a variety of goods or services for specific purposes; however, the actual demand is not known and delivery of the goods or services is made when a requirement arises. Work on this Contract is to be performed, completed, and accepted within Task Order time limits and within the Term of the Contract. During the Term of the Contract, the Department will issue Task Orders to the Contractor with a cumulative value that will equal or exceed 70% of the original value of the Contract, unless the Contract is terminated according to Section 108.08 of the Specifications. Quantity changes in an On Call Contract shall not be construed as a significant change. Budgetary constraints may be imposed by the Department at any time during the life of the Contract. The Contractor will be notified if the Engineer determines that the cost of completing the Work will exceed available funding or budget as may be adjusted by the Department. Task Orders with work underway shall be completed or the work shall be suspended and the work site restored as directed by the Engineer. The Engineer will specify which previously issued Task Orders will be rescinded according to the Department's predetermined priorities. If further analysis indicates that the cost of work underway will fall below the limits of the budgeted funds, the Engineer may issue additional Task Orders to be completed by the Contractor at contract unit prices. The Contractor shall be prepared to begin work on a Task Order on the date specified in the Notice to Proceed, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. If the Contractor opts to suspend work temporarily on a Task Order or portion thereof, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of the time and date he plans to pull off the work site. The Contractor shall ensure the work site has been properly and safely secured to protect the traveling public in accordance with the VWAPM, the MUTCD, or specific language in the Contract before leaving the work site. Temporary suspension of the work does not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to complete the Task Order on or before the date specified in the Notice to Proceed nor will it delay Liquidated Damages assessment.
