Retainage: The City shall retain a portion of the progress payments, each month, in
accordance with the following procedures:
1. Until work is 50% complete, as determined by the City, retainage shall be 10% of the
monthly payments claimed. The computed amount of retainage shall be deposited in
a non-interest bearing account established by the City.
2. After the work is 50% complete, and provided the Contractor has satisfied the City in
quality and timeliness of the work, and provided further that there is no specific cause
for withholding additional retainage no further amount shall be withheld.
3. Upon substantial completion, the amount of retainage shall be reduced to 2% of the
total contract price plus an additional retainage based on the City’s estimate of the fair
value of the punch list items and the cost of completing and/or correcting such items
of work, with specified amounts for each incomplete or defective item of work. As
these items are completed or corrected, they shall be paid out of the retainage until the
entire project is declared completed. The final 2% retainage shall be held, in the non-
interest bearing account, during the 12-month warranty period and released only
after the City has accepted the project.
Liquidated Damages: In the event that the Contractor fails to satisfactorily complete the
work contemplated and provided for under this contract, on or before November 10,
2023 or the driveway aprons and 2’ shoulder gravel within 20 business days of finish
paving of the road, the City shall deduct from the payments due the Contractor each
month, the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) plus engineering charges per day
for each calendar day of delay, which sum is agreed upon not as a penalty, but as fixed
and liquidated damages for each day of such delay, to be paid in full and subject to no
deduction. If the payments due the Contractor are less than the amount of such liquidated
damages said damages shall be deducted from any other monies due or to become due the
Contractor or shall be paid by the Contractor’s surety.
The City of Concord reserves the right to reject any or all bids or any part thereof, to
waive any formality, informality, errors and/or information in the bidding, to accept the
bid considered to be in the best interest of the City, or to purchase on the open market if it
is considered in the best interest of the City to do so.
Failure to submit all information as detailed on the Bid Submission Checklist and/or
submission of an unbalanced bid are sufficient reasons to declare a bid as non-
responsive and subject to disqualification.

(P) (Village St to Community Dr); Chandler St (Full Length); Coral St (P) (Full Length);

Description of Work to Be Performed for the Pavement Reclamation portion: For
designated sections of road within the Project Location, work shall consist of pulverizing
the existing pavement together with the base material to a depth of 12 inches; stabilizing
the base with Calcium Chloride as directed, not all roads will receive Calcium Chloride;
grading and compacting the new surface with a pad foot (sheep’s foot) vibratory roller ;
and providing an overlay, in base and wear courses, of hot bituminous pavement. A
crushed gravel or recycled asphalt shoulder of 2 foot minimum width is to be provided
from the reclaimed base material to the existing ditch - as conditions allow. Drive entry
aprons are to be provided as directed. The existing driveways are to be trimmed to ensure
a smooth transition with the overlay, as needed. All the street sections contain manholes,
catch basins and water gate valve boxes that will require lowering before reclamation and
resetting before the wearing course is paved. Entering any manhole structure will be
according to OSHA Confined Space requirements. Ditching may also be needed on some
of the streets. Exact locations and amount will be determined in the field. Resetting
granite curb and rebuilding of sidewalks are part of this project. Pavement markings, as
existing, will be reinstalled after completion of construction by the City of Concord, but
must be tied down by the Contractor before obliteration. Temporary pavement
markings on the base course are the responsibility of the Contractor and are
subsidiary to the Maintenance of Traffic pay item. The intent of the contract is to
provide “Full Depth”. The “Bid” specifies a “depth of 12 inches”. Should pavement
thickness or base conditions warrant, this limit may be reduced to as little as 8 inches for
