STUDY SESSION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Kevin Engels
DEPARTMENT: Finance
DATE: March 4, 2024
SUBJECT: January 2024 General Fund Monthly Financial Report Review
DESCRIPTION:
Director of Finance Kevin Engels will be present to review the Monthly Financial Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council review the information provided in the monthly financial
report and provide feedback.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff provides financial updates to City Council each month. During the Study Session
discussion, the Director of Finance will review the 2024 January General Fund financial
report that highlights revenues and expenditures. Sales & Use Tax slides by area are
also included in the Appendix of the attached presentation.
SUMMARY:
Through January 2024, the City of Englewood's General Fund revenues total
$6,760,000 which is 9.5% of 2024 budgeted revenues. Year-to-date (YTD) revenues
are $334,000 higher than the same period in 2023. Total YTD revenues are tracking
5.2% higher than the same period in 2023. Expenditures YTD are $6,161,000 or 8.5%
of the 2024 budgeted expenditures. Total expenditures YTD are $425,000 or 7.4%,
higher than those in 2023.
ANALYSIS:
Revenue highlights:
Sales & Use Tax remittances total $5,292,000 and are 11.5% of fiscal budgeted
revenue; Sales & Use Tax revenue is $94,000 higher than the same time last
year. Additionally, the Sales & Use Tax audits and voluntary disclosure
collections amount to $1,100,000.
Marijuana Sales Tax accounts for $104,000 of the total Sales & Use Tax revenue
YTD and is ($21,000) lower than 2023.
Charges for services are $164,000 higher than the previous year due to the
collections for the operation of City Center property management (formerly EEF).
Page 4 of 537
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)-the city has been awarded $8,776,000 which
was received in two allocations of $4,338,000 each.
For 2024, the General Fund restricts $360,000 of ARPA funds to be used for
homelessness related projects. ARPA funds already spent from the General Fund
include $33,000 for Workforce Training, $17,000 for the Vaccine program and
$22,000 for Homelessness.
Expenditure highlights:
Across all departments, part of the variance is due to a 5% salary increase for all
staff.
Administration is $87,000 higher than the previous year due to the addition of the
Sustainability Division in 2024.
Public Works is $139,000 or 10.5% higher than the previous year due to the
costs associated with the City Center property management.This is offset by the
$169,000 increase in Charges for Services revenue mentioned above.
All other expenditure variances can be attributed to timing differences.
The YTD Operating surplus (Operating Revenues over/(under) Operating
Expenditures) is $599,000, compared to the Amended Budgeted Operating Deficit of
($1,096,000).
Transfers in include a $142,000 transfer from the Public Improvement Fund for debt
service. Transfers out include a ($4,542,000) transfer to the Public Improvement Fund
for capital projects. An additional ($69,000) was transferred out for costs associated
with the purchase of new vehicles for Public Works and Parks, Recreation, Library and
Golf. This transfer was approved by Council as part of 2024 budget supplemental #1.
The General Fund – Fund Balance Composition, shows a YTD change in total fund
balance of ($3,870,000), which includes the total operating surplus of $599,000 and a
net transfer out of ($4,469,000). This surplus includesone-time items.

STUDY SESSION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Melissa Englund
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
DATE: March 4, 2024
SUBJECT: City Facilities Energy Audit Update
DESCRIPTION:
Company Yearout Energy will present to City Council on a project update on the Energy
Performance Contract
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council move forward with scoping for renewable energy and
facility improvement project(s) in the final investment grade audit as the city has
$200,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to contribute to the end cost as
well as the potential increased funding available which comesfrom the Inflation
Reduction Act (IRA) around renewable energy or other energy saving or electrification
and decarbonization related investments.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
o September 27, 2021: Updated list reviewed by City Council during study
session
o July 12, 2021:Draft American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund list reviewed
by City Council during study session
o February 7, 2022: City Council approves ARPA funding list, which
contains $200,000 to go towards some type of sustainable, energy
efficient pilot project
o May 2, 2022: City Council approved CB 25 -- Ordinance approving a
Memorandum of Understanding between the Colorado Energy Office and
the City of Englewood to provide contract services for its Energy
Contracting Program
SUMMARY:
Energy Service Company (ESCO) Yearout Energy will provide City Council a 60%
project update on the investment Grade Audit (IGA). Yearout Energy and staff will also
be seeking Council guidance on whether renewable energy project(s) should be
included in the final audit. The IGA will also incorporate scope of work items which are
valuable to the city that encompass categories like deferred maintenance updates and
end-of-useful life equipment replacement and upgrades.
Page 33 of 537
ANALYSIS:
The City of Englewood kicked off an Energy Performance Contract (EPC) with an
Energy Service Company (ESCO) Yearout Energy in March of 2023. An EPC is a
creative model for funding and implementing capital improvement upgrades, which
allows entities to use future cost savings to fund projects. The ESCO conducts an
Investment Grade Audit (IGA) of specific, pre-determined, City of Englewood facilities
and delivers a project proposal that includes: energy & water efficiency measures,
renewable energy systems, electric vehicle technology, operations & maintenance,
and/or metering infrastructure improvements.
Yearout is at the 60% project completion milestone for the IGA and is now looking for
direction from City Council on what – if any – renewable energy project(s)the City would
like to see scoped for the final report.The current work scope contains(I) high return on
investment projects and (II) some projects that are already listed in the Capital
Improvement Plan and (III) Items that will be valuable for improving the city facility’s
infrastructure for mechanical and electrical systems and components. City Council can
decide if they would like to remain withthat scope of workor add renewable energy
project(s) to that work scope as well.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
City staff requests that Council give direction on if the final IGA should include a scope
for renewable energy project(s). City staff additionally requests that Council provide
direction on the depth of replacement for HVAC equipment. A phased approach would
see just the most critical equipment being replaced but would only affect a small portion
of the city buildings. An all-encompassing approach would be able to reach all the
buildings in the scope of the IGA and provide new equipment and automation which
would bebeneficial for the facility maintenance staff in addition to the energy and cost
savings these replacements would bring.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the Investment Grade Audit is from Capital Projects Fund 31-1005-001
Facilities and Operations.
A full understanding of the financial implications is still under development while the
scope of work is finalized. The full scope of work undertaken in this IGA could gain
energy savings greater than 40% of current baseline usage. There are multiple grant
options under review and streams of federal, state, and local incentives that will also be
evaluated and incorporated if at all possible. Investing in the full project would require
additional capital infusion beyond what is already slated in the capital improvement
plan.
Solar PV payback period can be estimated as:
Roof/Ground mounted: 15-18 years
Carport: 18-20 years
Solar PV energy offset is generally aimed to achieve up to 75% of energy used on any
specific site unless battery storage is also implemented and then up to 100% offset can
be designed. Solar Thermal for pool and space heating at the Englewood Recreation
Center and for pool heating at Pirates Cove has a payback that is estimated at better
Page 34 of 537
than 18 years. The solar thermal will be sized for up to 100% offset in summer months
and then whatever will be left over from that system will be utilized to offset the heating
in the winter months. Solar thermal and Solar PV systems are all expected to qualify for
IRA/ITC direct pay of up to 40% for the installed cost.
CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
This project is found in the Strategic Plan underneath the Sustainability priority area and
the energy goal area, specifically to, “Work with the Colorado Energy Office to conduct
an Energy Performance Audit on major city facilities.” This audit also helps fulfill the
project listed under the Sustainability priority area and water protection goal to,
“Undertake a water usage analysis of city facilities.”
If Council decides to incorporate renewable energy project(s) into the IGA work scope,
this would advance the following Strategic Plan projects and metrics:
o Project: “Develop strategies to increase solar systems serving city
properties.”
o Project: “Increase climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and
projects.”
o Project: “Reduce carbon emissions from city-owned buildings in
Englewood.”
o Metric: “% reduction in carbon emissions from city-owned buildings in
Englewood.”
o Metric: “% of kWh from renewable energy used by city-owned buildings
and operations.”
OUTREACH/COMMUNICATIONS:
The departments that have been helping to progress this IGA include: City Manager’s
Office; Public Works; Utilities; and Parks, Recreation, Library, and Golf.

STUDY SESSION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Brad Anderson, Christina Underhill
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation & Library
DATE: March 4, 2024
SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation General Obligation Bond
DESCRIPTION:
Park and Recreation staff will present City Council with the proposed projects for the potential
2024 bond.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council review staff recommendations and provide direction as to
whether staff should prepare for a 2024 General Obligation ("GO") Bond for parks and
recreation facilities
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Past bond issues include a bond in 2001 for $5,810,00 and one in 2002 for $6,990,00.
Both issues were refinanced in 2010 and financed through property taxes. The
ordinance stated the bond funds would be expended on improved Malley and Recreation
Centers, construction of the Aquatic Center (Pirates Cove), and Park improvements.
The bonds were paid off on December 1, 2023.
The Parks and Recreation Bond proposal was initially presented at Council Study
Session (April 24,2023).
Magellan Strategies presented Parks and Recreation Bond Measure survey findings at
the Council Study Session (June 20, 2023).
SUMMARY:
Staff will provide updates to recommended parks projects from the updated Parks and
Recreation Master Plan and projects to update Pirates Cove and the Englewood Recreation
Center. These projects could be considered for a 2024 General Obligation Bond initiative.
ANALYSIS:
In 2022-2023, the 2017 Parks and Recreation Master Plan was updated by consultant, Logan
Simpson, and staff to identify the capital needs of the various parks. Along with the Park and
Recreation Master Plan, Councilman Hunsaker, consultant, was commissioned to study the
aquatic areas at the Englewood Recreation Center and Pirates Cove. Councilman Hunsaker
used data from the 2017 Parks and Recreation Master Plan and current trends in aquatics to
develop the capital needs for the Englewood Recreation Center aquatics area and Pirates
Cove.
Projects include:

Parks and Recreation Bond Survey (2023)
Magellan Strategies completed a survey of the City of Englewood voters in May of 2023 to
determine if there is support for projects associated with a potential $50 million Parks and
Recreation Bond. The survey covered ten park renovations, a new train, renovations to the
Belleview Farm, additions to the aquatics side of the Englewood Recreation Center, and new
amenities for Pirates Cove.
The survey results are to assist with determining the feasibility of placing a ballot measure on
the November ballot to include all the proposed projects, a select few, or not move forward with
the bond. An online survey of 1,036 Englewood registered voters was conducted. The online
survey took place over a two-week period from May 22 – June 5, 2023. The survey has a
margin of error of +/- 2.98% at the 95 percent confidence interval. The survey data is weighted
to be representative of voter turnout demographics for an odd-year election for the City of
Englewood.
On average, 53% of residents indicated their willingness to vote in favor of such a bond, and
35% indicated they plan to vote no. Five categories of projects shown below scored over 60%
support—project support varied by category.
When asked about their willingness to vote for various projects, respondents indicated the
following:
75% New Irrigation System for Parks
67% Smaller Park Improvements Combined
66% Belleview Park Improvements (No Farm)
66% Miller Park Improvements
63% Belleview Park Farm Area Improvements
55% Little Dry Creek Plaza Improvements
49% Pirates Cove Water Park Improvements
46% Englewood Recreation Center Improvements
When asked to rank projects 1-8, with 1 being the highest, respondents ranked the projects as
follows:
1. New Irrigation System for Parks
2. Smaller Park Improvements Combined
Page 62 of 537
3-4. (tied response) Belleview Park Improvements and Englewood Rec Center
Improvements
5. Pirates Cove Improvements
6. Belleview Park Farm Improvements
7. Little Dry Creek Plaza Improvements
8. Miller Park Improvements
Note: Projects removed from the 2024 bond proposal include the Belleview Electric Train
(funded in 2023 through the Conservation Trust Fund and Broncos sale funds in 2024) and the
Little Dry Creek Plaza renovation. Staff will continue to work with the Englewood Downtown
District Authority for future improvements to the plaza.
At the February 8, 2024 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission voted and
recommended to move forward with the 2024 Parks and Recreation GO Bond (attached).
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends that Council review staff recommendations and provide direction as to
whether staff should prepare for a 2024 General Obligation ("GO") Bond for parks and
recreation facilities
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Finance Department has identified a bond capacity of $50 million. The cost breakdown is
as follows:
Parks Enhancements: $26,684,230
Pirates Cove Enhancements: $9,090,030
Englewood Recreation Center: $10,455,00
Construction Use Tax + Permitting: $2,450,703
Project Manager (3 years): $450,000
Total amount for all projects: $49,130,000
$50 million Bond: 4- mills increase would cost an Englewood homeowner an estimated:
$26.70 annually ($2.23/ month) for every $100,000 of the home's value

Cost to Englewood Residents
•4.0-mill property tax increase, which would generate $50 million in
dedicated funding. Although $50 million is more than the total $49.1 million
cost of the current project list, the additional $900,000 will be used to
address any future increase in project costs.
•A 4-mill increase would cost a homeowner an estimated:
•$26.70 annually ($2.23/month) annually for every $100,000 of a home’s value.
•$133.50 annually ($11.13/month) for a home valued at $500,000.
•2001-2002 Bond Costs (Sunset in 2023) $13.6 million
•Home value per $100,000 = $16.80 annually or $1.40/ month
•Home value at $500,000= $84 annually or $7.00/ month

exercise be outside play and build community is very important. The little dry creek plaza has a lot of
potential and could be a large asset to downtown Englewood in the nicer months with some outside
areas of restaurants and lounge areas that will continue to keep the city cleaner and more engaged. It
would be great if that area could resemble an Al fresco community for strolling, music, food trucks,
with lights overhead etc. farmers market in the parking lot behind the plaza?!

Along time ago others had the insight and fortitude to aside land to keep it open for everyone to use.
It is our turn to upgrade and allow others better use if the land. Parks and outdoor spaces are the
only way allow equality of use for poor or no land owners. They are what make or break a crowded
city. Englewood is going the wrong way with taking empty spaces and developing them into endless
numbers of apartments without requiring builders or even the town to commite to more land set
aside for neighborhood pstks or just empty spaces. Soon no one in Englewood will see the
mountains without driving through to Sheridan or west
F 55-64 NR 1 Definitely Yes Parks are an important resource. The city should maintain them.

Anglewood needs to upgrade its services especially parks and recreation. The city also needs to
provide better clean up and enforcement of Property maintenance throughout the neighborhood

F 35-44 Dem 3 Definitely Yes
The betterment of the community has an exponentially positive impact on the residents. I do think

1. I fully support improvements to revenue-generators, i.e. Pirate’s Cove and the Belleview Farm 2.
Improving the irrigation system is an act of fiscal and environmental responsibility 3. I want to
improve the visual and leisure aesthetic of the city. I have two hesitations: 1. Voters may be
experiencing tax/bond fatigue with the new police station, school building improvements, and recent
sales tax increases. A modified initiative may be more successful at the ballots than the full initiative
2. I’m concerned that restrooms at neighborhood parks (eg Rotolo) will not benefit our valued park
patrons and instead will foster misbehavior from unfavorable park visitors.

community. When I moved here, all of the friends I made were folks I met at the Englewood Canine
Coral or at Jason Park. Even though these locations are not being considered for upgrades, all of our

Parks, schools, libraries and police/fire are a priority for our family to increase the value, livability and
beautification of this city that we love.
F 65+Unaf Ref Definitely Yes Looks good
M 35-44 Dem Ref Definitely Yes
Paying under $100 annually for the complete package that would be proposed would be an
affordable cost individually. The improvements to the community would be welcome. The package
includes beautification of the neighborhood. Some economic, environmental consideration,
improvements offered as well. However, being that at some time, the balance for said projects will be
paid in full. I don’t think the tax should be permanent.
F 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
Although I do not think some of the additions are necessary, in general I do support funding more
expansion for parks and recreation spaces and especially like the parts of the plan to make these
parks more ADA accessible.
F 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
I believe we should invest in our parks and I love my tax dollars going to parks. People use the parks
a lot in Englewood too
F 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes I especially would like to see improvements to the belleview park area!
F 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
I plan on living here for a long time and I want to have updated amenities to use without driving to
another city
M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes Parks are important for the community and having available places for people to enjoy.
M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
City of Englewood need to be audit by the people and the wastewater plant needs to looked into to
for waste too
M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes I believe in local spaces and generally like property taxes
M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
It’s my opinion that taking on debt that improves public infrastructure (especially parks in colorado)
is worthwhile as it attracts more residents and keeps our public spaces improving in line with
increasing property values and ultimately will be able to paid back for that reason
M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
The Little Dry Creek Plaza would help Downtown Englewood gather even more momentum as a
destination, which would help fuel demand to redevelop all the sad, mostly empty parking lots. The
improvements to Cushing Park recently have been great, and I’d love to share that success with the
rest of town. That said, some of the water park/rec center stuff seems a little superfluous, likely to
become maintenance issues, and those improvements should be partly borne by increased entry
prices.
O 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes I believe in investing in our community

F 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes Because the whole city needs renovation
F 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
I think the plans would greatly approve the parks in Englewood. However I am disappointed to see
that no expansion or additional dog park areas have been incorporated. I think these plans should
be inclusive of use as there are people in the community who do not have children, the focus on this
proposal is primarily family oriented. This is good, but would prefer additional viewpoints in these
plans. Regarding the water park additions, given the concerns over water conservation this feels off
base from those values of conserving and protecting water in our state.
F 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes I would enjoy these newly updated amenities in my very own neighborhood.
F 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes More kid friendly city
F 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
Outdoor parks is a no brainer for me. Pirates Cove upgrades is not a good use of assets. It costs to get
in and many will not benefit from the upgrade. The parks will serve far more of the Englewood
community while bringing environmentally positive landscape and vegetation to our city.
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
I come from a Parks and Recreation major and have sat on a Board of Park Commissioners. I
understand the importance of the tax payers to support our parks and recreation improvements!
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
I support continued improvement to local public places to ensure Englewood continues to be a
place I want to live. I think it's important to have quality and functional parks and entertainment for
the community and it's worth the extra cost.
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes I think parks and recreation should be a priority to help improve Englewood
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
I'm more concerned about what's being referred to when it comes to certain improvements that
sound like they may be intended as anti-homeless architecture. I'm much more likely to vote for
changes that won't be harmful to unhoused Englewood residents.
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes Improve sense of community by investing the neighborhood gathering areas
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes It would allow the improvement of multiple parks and facilities.
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
Park infrastructure needs upgrades and think better irrigation system would save water, money and
be more efficient for each park. I don’t use the bigger rec sites but understand the need to keep those
updated for families and other residents that regularly use them.
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
Public spaces need to be welcoming, functional, and attractive to the people who use them. Nice
public centers indicate that a municipality not only cares about the well-being of their residents, but
also tends to reduce crime and indicates that the community is open to businesses looking to set up
in a place that isn't stagnant or decomposing.

F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes
I want to see improvements to my city but I do appreciate you breaking a part each project in this
survey. I don’t think that’s realistic to do on the ballot so I think you have to group them together on
the ballot. I would rather vote for all improvements rather than none.
F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes I want to see the city have these nice parks and things.
F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes
Improving our community amenities helps Englewood stay a desirable place to live and brings in
new families to the area.
F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes
Local parks are in significant need of upgrading to help support and build local neighborhoods and
communities. The water park features are less critical to me as I am happy with a large pool space to
enjoy. I want to support the parks and if all projects are combined, I would vote yes for the full
package.
F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes
Our kids love utilizing the many parks in our beautiful city. We are swimmers and love anything to

Public outdoor amenities can be enjoyed by all in this time of inflation and expenses. Saving water
as a natural resource is even more important.

are a good choice since the slide will make better use of the existing pool. I’m less enthusiastic about
the surf simulator because the cost (and environmental impact) to build new for that specific
machine and space could instead be better spent on improvements for more multi-use, efficient

F 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes
I believe that good parks make for better neighborhoods: I have seen first hand that the recent park
improvements to Roman's park have invited more neighborhood families out, building community,
and making it more likely that we will run into other families and friends when we go to the
playground. Not only are nicer open spaces better for neighborhoods, home values, and overall feel,
they also give us a higher quality of life. Being outside is so important in a society so centered on
technology! Thank you for the work that you do.
F 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes
I’d like to see improvements spread across the various parks in the city. However, I’d rather see
improvements to alleys and sidewalks.
M 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes
~$150 is not a lot to spend to invest in the improvement and maintenance of shared public spaces.
Many of these places I have never visited, but I do visit my most local parks regularly and want to
make sure everyone in the area has similarly good access to these kinds of outdoor and recreational
spaces.
M 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes ADA accessibility is very important so that everyone can enjoy our outdoor spaces
M 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes
The improvements all make sense and I don’t currently own a home so most of the increases don’t
affect me.
F 45-54 Dem 2 Probably Yes
The local city parks need special attention and should be considered more than just open spaces.
This will help home owners return in investment, as well as, overall safety and use of the park. This is
specifically about Emerson park which gets used as a dog park and has caused elevated friction
among the community / neighbors. We should secure this park as a purposeful space that allows
everyone to enjoy it, not just people who want to have it as their dog run.
F 55-64 Dem 2 Probably Yes It’s needed
F 55-64 Dem 2 Probably Yes Outdoor entertainment and fresh air is essential for our community
F 55-64 Dem 2 Probably Yes
Parks are important to a vital, healthy community! I think pirates Cove is a different question because
it is only open a few months of the year and not everyone uses it
M 55-64 Dem 2 Probably Yes Areas for kids to play and enjoy
M 55-64 Dem 2 Probably Yes
People need parks to be proud of, outdoor spaces they can enjoy. Thierry should be increased
access for people with disabilities. Kids need outdoor places, and a good rec center serves as a
gathering place.
F 65+Dem 2 Probably Yes

F 35-44 Dem 3 Probably Yes
Parks create a safe and beautiful environment. They’ll attract new families to the area and increase
property values. Pirates Cove can generate more income for the city
M 35-44 Dem 3 Probably Yes
Better parks and community amenities will make Englewood a more desirable place for young
families to move. Although, I would want to know how Englewood plans to maintain these
improvements so they don’t become worn down in a few years. Also want to know how Englewood
is improving its drinking water, still a lot of turbidity in the water supply
M 35-44 Dem 3 Probably Yes
I believe that putting money into parks and recreation is an important step toward a strong
community.
M 35-44 Dem 3 Probably Yes I like parks.

Parks are import for health, social connection, and community vitality. If the bond incorporated
storm water management I would be a definite yes.
F 55-64 Dem 3 Probably Yes
I would vote yes just on the city park bc I think giving the kids more things to do is healthy for them

F 65+Dem 3 Probably Yes
I would like to see improvements to make our city more appealing for families and residents of all
ages. My concern with some of the improvements would be until the homeless situation is taken
care of, it is putting Band-Aids on problems. We could spend millions of dollars to only have people
ruin our facilities. I like the idea of the Little Dry Creek plaza, but the vagrants would ruin it in no time.

F 45-54 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
I like our local parks and use them frequently. As a real estate professional I know parks improve the

F 45-54 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
I visit Centennial Park multiple times during a week. A new irrigation system will be beneficial.
Everyone deserves to have their local park updated and accessible to all.
F 45-54 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
Our city parks need improvement. The paid water park and rec center already have entrance fees. I
believe the local parks should take priority since many other people pay to use the other facilities
and entrance fees could be increased to cover that cost rather than putting it all on local
homeowners. Our city parks are the responsibility of the community. I think that there could be more
of an effort to include the community to have volunteer park clean up days which would save
money and allow everyone more of an investment in our parks.
M 45-54 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
Because since City of Englewood is not going to repave the streets and fix all of the mismatched

Updating areas in Englewood that generate revenue will bring more families into Englewood to
spend their money. This would do wonders to help the city generate more money. I often times
leave Englewood for swimming pools as our Rec center is grossly outdated and quite frankly, boring.

I don’t use any of these places. I go to Wash Park for recreation bc there are no homeless and open
drug use there. I live right by Cushing and it’s so sad and unsafe to be there by yourself or with kids
and dogs. I would rather see funds going to housing the unhoused and helping them with mental

M 35-44 Unaf 1 Definitely No
The city is already irresponsible with the tax money allotted to them. Until we see street lights,
alleyways paved, and proper jurisdictional oversight there is no reason to be increasing taxes for the
cause suggested.
O 35-44 Unaf 1 Definitely No
Most of these seem unnecessary, and increasing taxes when we just got hit by huge increases in
property tax assessments seems like it makes housing even less affordable than it already is. Please
don’t take more of our money to construct frivolous, flashy projects.
F 45-54 Unaf 1 Definitely No
Citizen use of park systems is routinely ignored when developing plans. Parks and rec actively
undermines the park users and their wishes

Our property rates are through the roof, and it's not a safe community to walk around anymore. Fix
the homeless and drug users before raising our taxes. Also, I'd be willing to raise taxes if you put
speed bumps in front of stop signs. People are just blowing through them these days. I live by Bishop

The city just increased property valuations and hence property taxes beyond what is reasonable.

A lot of these projects are cosmetic and there is no reason to do them all at once. It is doubtful that
the city even has the bandwidth to accomplish all of these tasks simultaneously. Property taxes are
already high enough, let tax payers choose these projects Individually. I’d like to see the offset cost
for upgrading pirates cove on the tax payers dime and the revenue it will be estimated to bring in.

M 18-34 Dem 1 Definitely No I rarely use the areas with the greatest cost and hate how Englewood manages its other parks
F 35-44 Dem 1 Definitely No
Cost of living is high enough. We need paved alleys, trash service, and help keeping homeless and
druggies from trashing the parks we already have! We need shelters, mental health care, and

Much larger problems than upgrading our parks
F 35-44 Dem 1 Definitely No

untenable

Property tax has already increased exponentially and the city still fails to allocate funding towards
projects appropriately. We have crime and theft’s happening everywhere and nobody is taking
action yet we spent a very large amount of money on a new police department. Tax bills are a
contributing factor to what is making this state unaffordable. Those of us who do own houses are
quickly sourced as the piggy bank for the city’s wants and needs through property taxes. Our sewer
and water system is inadequate and my garage floods every time it rains heavily but the city
supposedly fixed those things with various “bonds” and measures such as these. Hard to imagine
that all of this is ranked as priority measures when the quality of the city itself has gone downhill. Just
because you build a bunch of overpriced houses around the neighborhood does not mean that we
don’t have larger scale concerns than our parks and rec agendas. Let’s vote on it and all the people
who didn’t grow up here can make uneducated decisions about our “future” as a “community “.

Assessments for property taxes have increased at a unrealistic and unreasonable level. Englewood
collects plenty of money and needs to reduce spending or manage their Bridget so these projects
can be paid with current revenues, not tax citizens more.
F 35-44 Dem 2 Definitely No I don’t use these facilities and, therefore, shouldn’t be forced to pay for the upgrades.
F 45-54 Dem 2 Definitely No I can barely afford to stay in my home with the new property tax increase
F 55-64 Dem 2 Definitely No
Englewood has an incredible issue with homelessness, drug use/selling and inadequate safety at
almost all of its parks. I’m from Detroit, and I will not even walk near one of them with my 120lb dog
except in broad daylight and even then I now avoid most. So until you address and CORRECT the
ISSUES at the parks why would we as the tax paying citizens want to spend our hard earned income
to make nicer places for criminal activity
F 55-64 Dem 2 Definitely No I believe all the bond measures should be seen, not just lumped into 1
M 65+Dem 2 Definitely No
Total cost is too high in terms of property taxes. As prices of homes increase property taxes are more
material.
F 35-44 Rep 2 Definitely No
There has to be a way to more efficiently use the taxes we already pay. Additionally, our parks are
unsafe ruined with the homeless and failure to enforce the laws so spending more money on
something we don’t feel safe for our family to use just makes no sense.
M 35-44 Rep 2 Definitely No
Considering current economic conditions, tax payers should not be asked to contribute more
money to improve parks and recreation. That's not to say we shouldn't maintain what we already
have, but during bad economic times, tax payers need to keep as much of their money as possible
for everyday expenses. Once the economy is in a better place and tax payers have more disposable
income, then please consider improvements to parks and recreation.

I don’t want to have my taxes go up to make these parks nicer for drug addicts and homelessness to
take over I had my nephew visit last fall and we went to 3 different parks because each of them has
homeless people camping at each then. Maybe Englewood should focus on having its own fire dept
instead of relying on DFD or maybe keep on working on our water. I’ve lived her since 1996 and the
water still tastes awful and is cloudy

F 18-34 Unaf 3 Definitely No I wouldn’t find any personal value in the proposed improvements to pirates cove or the rec center.
F 18-34 Unaf 3 Definitely No
This is a significant tax increase when taxes are already on the rise. While I understand that there is a
need for basic maintenance and improvement of parks, updates to Pirate’s Cove and the rec center
seem unnecessary (especially since these amenities already charge a fee which could be increased).
Moreover, I have heard that there may be a bond and/or MLO for Englewood Schools on the ballot
(though I don’t know much about it). I am highly supportive of passing a Bond and/ or MLO for
schools, but I worry that the parks and rec measures on the ballot will hurt the chances of education
measures passing.
M 18-34 Unaf 3 Definitely No Huge collective bond measures leave no room for individual improvements to be voted on.

Property taxes are about to skyrocket. Inflation is already hurting many, and property tax increases
going up before any of these measures will impact everyone as costs are passed on to renters as well.
While public spaces are important, many of the improvements are unnecessary and should be
funded by the users (such as the water park, which should be sold if it can not be funded through its
own fees). Other more necessary improvements to parks should be funded through general
operations of the city. Every election voters are asked to raise taxes for more initiatives, some
arguably important but many are not. This all adds up and creates fatigue, making it harder to pass
increases for more essential services such as schools. We need to be conscious of this especially in
an inflationary environment, and when property taxes are increasing significantly for all.
O 18-34 Unaf 3 Definitely No Raises of taxes
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Definitely No
Because everything is already too expensive AND nobody is happy with all the apartments that are
going to be built causing more TRAFFIC and higher costs already with the new buildings
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Definitely No
Part of what you are asking for generates revenue, so increase the price to non-Englewood residents.
if you want to raise more funds, stop texting me and increase the cost for permits to use these items,
and what we charge for people who are not regular residential constituents to use it. For example, if
you are going to rent out pavilions why do I is a taxpayer have to pay for you to make a profit? Why
are you not charging Pirates sports league more money to use our fields? You keep taking away
access and usage for regular residential Englewood citizens and making your priorities those who
should be paying more for the privilege of using what I’m already paying my taxes for. I should not
have to subsidize you giving extra consideration to other groups. You probably shouldn’t have
jacked up the whole dog park things so poorly. You probably shouldn’t have jacked up the whole
dog park things so poorly and maybe I would feel differently, but right now.
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Definitely No Taxes have already been raised significantly.
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Definitely No
With property taxes going to increase substantially hurting many homeowners I do not believe this is
the time for the City to be asking homeowners to put out more money. Look at your budget and see
if you can do one item at a time without costing the homeowners. Look at ways to save money for
the homeowners so we don't see many that cannot afford to live here.

I prefer tax dollars allocated very specifically to tackle things piecemeal rather than roll them all
together. The bigger the project, the more slush and waste. This proposal didn't indicate that there
was a sufficient economy of scale to say we shouldn't approach this bundle of improvements more a

Some of the parks need to be area based for the direct community of residents that already live in the
area and not for other people to come in. I don't believe that the water park needs more
enhancement as it is packed every summer and has had recent upgrades. I do believe the the rec
center definitely needs upgrades I feel upgrades and parking lot lightning and cameras in the parking
lot would entice more people to use it
M 45-54 Unaf 3 Definitely No
Englewood is pushing it's longtime heritage families out with rising housing costs. Englewood allows
the building of ugly apartments that nobody in Englewood who has grown up here, could ever
afford and they make it even worse by getting away with it for only making a few of the apartments in
the new buildings and homes, truly affordable. Englewood is leaving the people who have
supported it and built it over decades, behind, and in fact.. pricing us and our children out.
Meanwhile crime rates climb. Spend the money on police and low income housing instead please.
Build only all affordable housing for people who make between $15/$25/hr and build houses and
programs that help these hard working families OWN a home rather than rent. We don't need slides
and lights for the rich people, we need safety and homes.
M 45-54 Unaf 3 Definitely No

Pirates Cove, already charges residence of the City of Englewood the same cost as non-residence
and our taxes pay for it. The little dry Creek plaza area is overrun by homeless people and I disagree
with dumping any more money into that area unless it’s for policing and removing the homeless and
the trash and the needles. The parks are fine and utilized well the way they are now, these huge taxes
improvements do not be need to be done. The City of Englewood needs to better maintain the roads
and alleyways and illuminate the homeless problem before thinking about capital improvements on
parks and recreation.

I'd like the city to prioritize the list more prior to asking constituents to vote on a property tax
increase. I'm ok with increasing our property taxes, but the total increase would result in an
additional $175/year in taxes for my household and that's too much imo. I'd also like to see a
mechanism to include apartment buildings in funding our parks system.
F 18-34 Unaf 4 Definitely No
Most proposals are to places not accessible to all (fee-based entry at pirates cove, Englewood rec
center, farm, etc) and are simply unnecessary. The facilities still provide the same purpose now. I
would be much more likely to vote yes on a measure for public parks and initiatives that would be
areas anyone could use or access.
F 18-34 Unaf 4 Definitely No
This is a massive increase in taxes and would not provide increased usage for all community
members (especially for pirates cove and rec center items). I would be more likely to approve a
partial bond measure for a lower cost and these projects to be spread out.
M 18-34 Unaf 4 Definitely No
Revenue generating facilities should not have renovations paid for through tax increases.

couple projects approved if you separate out the items. Lumping them together make residents more
likely to vote against it. Everything is already very expensive

Englewood has larger issues to address that would more positively impact a larger number of

the presence of homeless vagrants crowding and disrupting areas that residents have formerly
enjoyed, like the public library, Trolley Square, area surrounding Wal-mart, etc. that I would rather
see addressed. These proposed changes seem frivolous and wasteful given the city's current
challenges. Plus, this proposal feels pretty tone deaf to the fact that many homes are seeing large
increases to their property taxes in 2023 already. Whatever happened to fixing the city's ancient
plumbing infrastructure? We have much bigger and more important fish to fry so this is a hard pass
for me.

I disagree with the majority of the projects in number and the vast majority of the projects by dollar
amount. Parks/plazas are valid places for the city to spend money in my opinion. Pirates Cove
should absolutely be privately owned - there’s no excuse to be dumping nearly $10 million of
taxpayer money into a water park. The Rec Center should ideally be privately-owned as well, but if it
is publicly-owned, its offerings should be minimal.

Englewood city counsel lets pit bulls run off leash in the parks. My kids and myself can no longer use
the parks as the loose dogs scare the children and are a danger.
M 35-44 Dem Ref Definitely No
I disagree with the direction of some of these projects and would not vote to approve all of them, but
would be open to voting on certain individual ones. I also believe there should be ample public
input into the plans and designs that are included in any potential bond project.
O 55-64 Rep Ref Definitely No Your are stupid
F 65+Rep Ref Definitely No
Aren't taxes from Marijuana sales supposed to be used for educational and parks and recreational
improvements? We need to make Englewood more business and citizen friendly. Downtown
Englewood is an embarrassment due to addicts, alcoholics and homeless people. Why would
anyone want to start a business in Englewood?! This is evidenced by all the empty storefronts that
have never been used. Stop approving multiple permits for high density housing! How about
putting it to a vote to stop legalized Marijuana sales in Englewood?! Whatever were the supposed
benefits to the city of legalized Marijuana, they have not come to pass. Otherwise, these bond issues
would not be necessary.
M 65+Rep Ref Definitely No Property taxes are too high for people on fixed income. Can’t afford any more taxes
M 35-44 Oth Ref Definitely No
Property taxes in Colorado are amongst the highest in the country. The City needs to be more
creative in raising this money, instead of robbing its own citizens for the improvements. A water slide
will present more reasons for potential lawsuits (in the case of injury (injuries). Just like what
happened with Celebrity Sportscenter, back in the 90s. I feel like local infrastructure is more
important, such as improving local city sidewalks and making those ADA compliant, because I can
tell you that a lot of sidewalks, in Englewood, aren’t ADA compliant, and they are decrepit.
F 55-64 Oth Ref Definitely No The money is poorly spent..

F 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably No
Honestly, a lot of the parks are not near me and I will never see or use them. So, it doesn’t feel like
quite as high a priority for me. I like the local parks option because it shows improvements to a
variety of parks throughout the neighborhoods instead of a single park. I don’t use the recreation or
library facilities because they don’t feel safe. Having the updated offerings probably won’t change that
M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably No I would rather vote on individual projects than all together.
F 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably No I think the pool at the rec center and private cove do not need these upgrades.
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably No
Because you need to fix our water first and foremost. Screw all this other stuff if we all have cancer
from the horrible water in Englewood. Fix it.
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably No
I don't use the bulk of the facilities and currently most of them that I visit have fallen into massive
disrepair and don't appear to be maintained much at all. I don't have a lot of faith in the city to
suddenly do a 180 and start maintaining the things we buy.
M 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably No
Property taxes are increasing 40% already in 2023. The additional property tax income from all the
new duplexes and triplexes selling for $1million and up should provide plenty of extra money for
these park projects. Tough to ask for more money when property taxes are going up so much for
everyone.
O 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably No
The city has many failing infrastructures. The parks are the last thing we need to spend tax payers
money on.
F 45-54 Unaf 1 Probably No
I fear that the local parks would miss out in the improvements and most (if not all) of the monies
would go towards parks and facilities that are more of a “destination” for surrounding towns and
areas outside of Englewood.
M 45-54 Unaf 1 Probably No I don’t agree with improving pirates cove and the rec center
M 45-54 Unaf 1 Probably No
I don’t support single purpose parks (Miller field)…and I think the Pirates Cove is a giant waste of
money and water.
M 45-54 Unaf 1 Probably No
Voters should be able to decide which projects are most important. We should also maintain lap
pools within the aquatic facilities for fitness, masters, and senior programs. We need partnerships
with local groups to program those facilities.
M 45-54 Unaf 1 Probably No
Voting for all these improvements would raise our property taxes by almost $200. Finances are
already tight and this increase would only make things harder.

I am less inclined to approve measures that require an additional cost or membership fee. Improving
parks and services for all without admission fees ensures that residents of all income levels can enjoy
them. Combining all measures into one doesn’t allow residents to select which improvements we
agree to increase taxes on. Attempting to pass a larger bond measure will be more difficult for the city
as well.
F 35-44 Unaf 2 Probably No $$$
F 35-44 Unaf 2 Probably No
I don’t use all of these facilities. Also, I think these designs are too nice and expensive. I don’t want
Englewood to become gentrified or unaffordable because it moved to a Denver way of doing things.
I have lived here for most of my life and I enjoy the blue collar residents that Englewood was
founded on. I would like some sprucing up but these designs are very expensive and elaborate.
F 55-64 Unaf 2 Probably No
I like to see more neighborhood swim pools instead of adding more slides and gizmos. What about
the adults who would like to swim laps outside in the summer. How about a therapeutic pool for all
the people in our community who need this. It seems you are only interested in the young and
drawing crowds to pirates cove. This facility doesn’t meet the needs of a diverse age population like
we have in Englewood.
M 55-64 Unaf 2 Probably No Too much $
M 65+Unaf 2 Probably No
Englewood ‘s needs are for water and sanitation system improvements, especially with the onslaught
of high density housing which has been approved and built.
M 65+Unaf 2 Probably No
The city will receive a windfall of tax revenue from the New tax assessments Don't burden the home
owners with additional taxes. Take it out of the new property tax increases!!!
F 18-34 Dem 2 Probably No Cost—that is a ton on top of already increasing home prices.
F 35-44 Dem 2 Probably No
Our taxes just went up significantly. Shouldn’t that cover the maintenance cost. Pirates Cove is the
most poorly managed attraction in the front range. The projects prioritize features that are of very
little or no interest to me and my family. Would prefer for funding to be more focused on getting
people active/healthy living.
M 35-44 Dem 2 Probably No There is too much in the bond. Minimize to maybe 6 or 7 of the improvements.
M 35-44 Dem 2 Probably No
Would rather take smaller bites of the parks projects, and consider using mill money for other much-

I would vote for individuals projects but for all of them together. That’s too much. And with the
ridiculous increase in property values the bill would be way too high

The cost. Another of those places are just fine and people have other parks that have the things you
want to add. If they really want to ride/ see them they can plan to go there.
M 45-54 Dem 2 Probably No Too expensive. The city needs to prioritize its needs and start with the greatest need.
F 55-64 Dem 2 Probably No
Can’t afford that high of a cost personally, and while I completely support ensuring safe, functional
parks with trees/landscaping for all neighborhoods, I think that many upgrades in a short period is
fiscally irresponsible for the city Also, my kids took swimming lessons at pirates cove, I helped
continue teaching them to swim when we would go together, and they continued to swim as well as
play when visiting pirate’s cove, and I think a functioning swimming pool remains important part of
the park for families who cannot afford separate trips to pools and parks or who may only be able to
go to a swimming pool when invited by friends to the park
F 55-64 Dem 2 Probably No I feel that the projects are not essential at this time
M 55-64 Dem 2 Probably No
I do not like the plan and believe that the estimate cost is too high. Where is the plan at ERec center
help older adults we do not need waves. New locker rooms, more efficient lighting, organic filters,
water therapy. Jacuzzi’s, massage services! Renovations are good and nessasary, wave machine.
Ridiculous, new trees , Ada is great but water slids, water machines is stupid. Water about the
horrible water in Englewood Fix the damn water . Your estimate are high and profit tge contractors.
Higher contractors that do not gauge the public. Fix nessities . Originally lottery funds were for parks,
Marijuana $ not higher house taxes. You can and vetter do better
F 65+Dem 2 Probably No
I feel strongly that Pirates Cove should be paid for by entry fees. Rec center does not need all that
fancy stuff- make sure kids learn how to swim snd that’s plenty. That’s a lot of money to ask for all at
once.

I’m concerned about the shape of the roads in Englewood and the fact that the traffic calming
measures along Dartmouth have not happened even though they were promised to be completed
last year. I’d rather see money spent on that then all the improvements to all the parks and rec
centers all at once.
F 65+Dem 2 Probably No

I don’t think all of these need to be done - I feel the irrigation is important since it’s a way to reduce
water consumption
F 55-64 Rep 2 Probably No My taxes are to high as it is. And the city council does not listen to the residents
M 55-64 Rep 2 Probably No That’s a lot of money for projects that dont really get used all that much.
M 55-64 Rep 2 Probably No
The city council doesn't listen to residents about projects like the Cherry Hills apartments on Kenyon
and Broadway even though it was not wanted in a vote, the city council did the project anyways. It
was a waste of time going to the city council meetings. Their minds were made up before anybody
voted on it so I vote No on everything else.
F 55-64 NR 2 Probably No
The way it's worded it is all or nothing, I would rather have voting on each individual project. If it's
not all or nothing then I change my opinion to positive rather than negative
F 18-34 Unaf 3 Probably No I would prefer to have the option to choose specific projects to support, versus voting on all at once.
F 18-34 Unaf 3 Probably No
The city has significant safety issues related to stormwater, drinking water and related infrastructure
that the City needs to focus on before any of these projects. Adding unnecessary improvements to
Pirates Cove vs. investigating the ongoing sinkhole problem across the City, for example. Why would
Pirates Cove or half of these projects even land on the list when there’s actual health and safety
standards the City can’t meet? Focus on minimum standards first.
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Probably No I'm only interested in a few of the projects. Others I'd defer.
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Probably No
Too expensive. Also, why do entrance fees and concessions not cover the cost of Pirates Cove
improvements?
M 35-44 Unaf 3 Probably No Our property taxes have already taken significant increases with the new assessments
M 35-44 Unaf 3 Probably No
Reason I may vote it down is that I haven't even taken the property tax hit coming from Colorado
raising the the value of my home by over $200k, like so many other home owners. Although I feel
like parks and local facilities are important to maintain, raising taxes more for "non-essential"
improvements comes at a bad time both financially and economically for a lot of people like myself, I
would assume.

The city streets and highways have pot holes the size of TEXAS and all Englewood is doing is filling

F 35-44 Dem 3 Probably No
With the recent mass increase of property taxes in Colorado, this isn't the time to add more financial
weight on already struggling homeowners. Especially as we are not an affluent area. Also, things like
parks and the library are enjoyed by all citizens. The other upgrades mentioned focused more on
families with children. As many of the residents in the area don't have kids, focusing on
improvements that are for the entire community, including DINKs and retirees, seems more
beneficial for the community as a whole.

The projects themselves seem fine and would be good but the huge tax increase to fund all projects

That is a lot of projects for one voting round and too much tax payer dollars. Should be split up to

There is more to a city than its parks and recreation center. Fond the police to enforce parking and

way to design/build and a wrong way; so far Englewood does the wrong way.

I didn’t know where several of the park locations were. Some questions were clearer than others
about the locations. I would rather pay as we go $15 a year for 20 years to get it all done than pay
$150 a year and have it all done in 20 years anyways. So part of it os not having a time line
equivalent to the income increase, or how long the increase would last.

I do not have faith in the estimated costs and have never received a final audit of the bond monies
spent on police/fire station and schools. Where are the rental monies applied from the current
operations of the water park, put put, train, etc? These should be considered as part of the ongoing
maintenance and increased rental fees rather than first coming to tax payers. No mention of dealing
with the dog park situation. We have more dogs than kids in Englewood. Some of these park
resources are free to outside residents. The Windermere dog park is an embarrassment and against
AKC environmental recommendations for the safety of dogs— not to mention the safety of the dogs
and owners from aggressive dog owners and drug dealers. Wood chips are a disaster and yet I am
paying for it. Put some money where Englewood residents use facilities!

F 55-64 Dem 4 Probably No
I have lived in Englewood for 27 years and am a Littleton native. The projects I have seen have been
slow in being completed, such as Jason Park's new restroom and I am not sure the city is using my
taxpayer's money efficiently. I need to see more information before I could commit to saying yes to a
bond.
F 65+Dem 4 Probably No
It would be fiscally irresponsible, and financially improbable to approve the entire package. Your
people may see the entire package as being too expensive as well as too intrusive in the park system
all summer.
F 65+Dem 4 Probably No
Scale down the projects. $150 per year is too high in light of the recent huge increase in property
taxes
F 65+Dem 4 Probably No
The Belleview Farm is inhumane, unsanitary and not supervised correctly. Better use of resources.
Close it down completely.
M 65+Dem 4 Probably No Just have too think about it more
F 18-34 Rep 4 Probably No I think it a lot to ask taxpayers.
F 35-44 Rep 4 Probably No
I would approve bond measures for certain projects but not for everything. It shouldn’t be a all or
nothing decision. Furthermore, I wouldn’t vote for all proposals within any given improvement. For
example, investments should first go into active play areas and bathrooms with landscaping/signage
as a nice to have.
M 35-44 Rep 4 Probably No
Emphasis on rec center and pirates cove. Those are specific users, and I’d prefer to see local parks
funded and improved. The enhancements at Jason Park are phenomenal.
M 45-54 Rep 4 Probably No
I would rather my property tax dollars stay in reason or be spent on better lighting on Broadway and
street repairs, alley improvements. The high cost of a vehicle today and gets tore to crap by the
pothole riddled roads
M 55-64 Rep 4 Probably No My property taxes just went up considerably, I can only afford so much
F 65+Rep 4 Probably No Can’t afford tax increase with current inflation costs
F 35-44 Oth 4 Probably No I’d rather vote more granularly on how funds will be spent.

M 35-44 Unaf 1 Definitely Yes

Englewood is such a unique town, and a big reason is because of the beautiful parks and the
outstanding recreation center that the city provides for our residence old and young alike. There is
also huge room for improvement in regard to all green space areas within the city. For example,
there, is a small but strategically placed small green strip right at Floyd across from King Soopers that
is full of trash and is being used for free advertising for the bars along that street - it could easily and
very inexpensively be enhanced just by demanding that the signs be taken down and the recreation
department clean it up and maintain it These are the things that make the city shine. Also. There are
so many asphalt deserts that for my money would be better, spent to create small perks there, as
opposed to just lavishing more toys at these recreation centers like pirates cove in the Belleview farm.
Let’s take care of what we have an improve the environment by transforming the asphalt deserts.

1. We need to improve our water systems, which are vital to our health and the environment. 2. We
have a duty to care for the farm animals. If we are not investing in where they live, than we need to
give them to an animal sanctuary. By caring for the farm animals, we are decreasing the likelihood for
violence in our community. By showing compassion to animals, we are more likely to have people
show compassion to each other.

Wave rider at rec center is a waste of money. Those were popular in the 90’s. Get a climbing wall or

I think Pirates Cove Waterpark is a must for updates and changes. It seems that because it is only a
seasonal business, it tends to get forgotten about. The waterpark is a family favorite and I hope to see
it around for many more years ahead. You need to expand it and hire more full time staff.
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Definitely Yes More connecting paths

O 35-44 Unaf 3 Definitely Yes
Little dry creek is often used as a camp by people experiencing homelessness. Perhaps considering a
safe outdoor space area for camps, accessible toilets/showers (perhaps some form of bathroom

Y’all should include more native species in you park system. I know you are movin that direction but
you need to hurry it up. Our pollinators are dying. Also native turf replacement is the way of the

I’d encourage the city to include evidence based literature on the topic of the benefits of green space

F 35-44 Dem 3 Definitely Yes Improve the indoor pool area at the rec center for younger children.

F 18-34 Unaf 4 Definitely Yes
It seems unsustainable to replace and modify the more permanent infrastructure projects that were
just modified, ie pirates cove and Englewood recreation center. That infrastructure should be used
until end of life or if it is no longer safe rather than installing new slides and more fun pools to
increase attendance at a fractional rate. The trade off for those materials and waste seems too high.
F 18-34 Unaf 4 Definitely Yes
Jason park as profanity and nudity drawn all over the slides. I can’t bring my kids there any more.

The only other thing that would be nice is some funds going to park rangers patrolling in the

despite dog parks being available.

Would love a bigger off leash dog park (in the realm of Chatfield or Cherry Creek size) to be able to
hike with dogs. I do not support things like the indoor surfing implement or splash pads at parks,
these are extremely expensive and seemingly superfluous projects and I would rather have taxpayer
money go towards making spaces more accessible or lowering membership costs for the community
so that more members of the community can access these spaces. Less is more.
M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
I think subsidizing parks are important. I also think that spending millions of dollars for small projects
seems like more work to find additional bids for the project should be evaluated to save the tax
payers money

M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes Need to be audit by the people
M 18-34 Unaf 1 Probably Yes
The improvements to ticketed/revenue generating venues like Pirate’s Cove and the rec centers

I’m not sure the improvement’s described for Emerson and Clarkson park are necessary, except
upgrading the irrigation (same with Bates-Logan Park). I also think making Clarkson Park more ADA

would like to see him out more:-)

I'd like to see more dog parks or consideration for dogs. Miller Park does not allow dogs offleash,
even while no one else is using the park and it has fences which are great for dogs. Jason Park allows
dogs offleash in the unfenced area and this is unsafe for the dogs as they can run out to the parking

I wholly support improving access and making parks nicer. That being said, you NEED TO ADDRESS
THE HOMELESSNESS! I've seen it where Englewood improves a park, but then the homeless camp
out and use those improved resources making it unsafe(open hard drug use) and dirty(leaving trash)
so that local residents don't even want to go there. For example, Cushing Park. I walk there with my
dog every day. Englewood put nicer benchs and pavilions, but there are homeless camped there
more often than not. They leave trash everywhere and occasionally I've seen them do hard drugs
(torch and tin foil). This detracts so much from the enjoyment and $ that Englewood makes to
improve these parks. Englewood should have daily compassionate homeless engagement at these
high homeless areas (e.g. Cushing Park, pathway alongside 285, fountain by RTD Englewood stop)
and get these people the help they need and out of the parks.

O 18-34 Dem 1 Probably Yes
While I'm an advocate for city services first and always and suggested I will vote yes in this survey, to
be perfectly frank I'm likely to vote no. I use the city's services daily between the parks and library but
the VISIBLE ROI is laughably nonexistent. Rec center equipment? Always something broken. Parks?
Look tired and run down. Let's not talk about the very visible very degraded library. No sense kicking
a man while he's down. But the biggest reason? The city's nickel and diming everything without any
big picture grand total. A project here. A project there. You asked for us to approve you potentially
setting up a municipal broadband service like other local cities have done. NEVER HAPPENED. But
I'm sure I paid for something because of that. The bonds we're paying so that police have covered
parking and a landscaped entry? Those aren't paid yet. And the water board essentially stating I
should expect a 5% increase annually AT A MINIMUM for the same low level of service forever
going forward? Boy do I wish my boss guaranteed me a 5% minimum increase. If only I could argue
to him my salary is increasing because "it's still lower than what we pay others" and hold him
hostage like the city does me. So while I would love to enhance the services I use daily, I'm asking
first where's the receipt for the current services. You might be frugal and fiscal but let's be honest,
you look like you are rubbing two pennies everywhere I look and also asking me to pay for your
cheeseburgers. If I have to pick between water and parks, I regret to inform you I need to drink water,
but I don't need prettier walkways at the parks. And I just don't know in this current economy that I
can reasonably foot every bill every department fantasizes having.
F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes
Clarkson Park is too small for the suggested improvements. And Emerson park functions great as-is.
Emerson is known to be a gathering spot for the neighborhood pups. Not sure if having a
community garden and tot play area would make the dog owners happy. Bates Logan is the true
neighborhood park in this area that needs major updating. I’m disappointed to not see it on your
projects list. Bathrooms, picnic shelter, playground equipment, so many improvements needed. This
is the most used park in that area of Englewood. I would rather see you improve one large park
rather than improve 2 smaller parks.
F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes I care most about the spaces that are free to the public

I know some work was recently completed at Cushing Park, which has made a large difference and
appreciate the improvements there. However, I know the intended full scope wasn’t completed,
especially an improved playground area. In supporting this bond effort, I would love to see some
additional work completed at all city parks. Perhaps that would help convince more voters to

F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes
I sure hope the money the city actually gets goes to these projects there’s so much mismanagement

Please don’t do away with the lap pool at pirates cove! Have an open swim for adults in the early

Some of these improvements seem superfluous so it would be helpful to know why these were
chosen and how it will benefit the community. For example, is there a demand for a surf area at the
rec center over other amenities?
F 35-44 Dem 1 Probably Yes
While I do think the Englewood recreation center needs significant improvements, I’m not sure
having an indoor surfing area is the thing to improve. It is very frequently dirty, the cardio equipment
used for exercising is antiquated and needs to be replaced, and the locker rooms could be much
cleaner. The pool area does need improvements. But again I’m not sure those improvements should
be an indoor surfing area.

F 55-64 Dem 1 Probably Yes Please install speed signs on Dartmouth.
M 55-64 Dem 1 Probably Yes The recreational facilities in Englewood are why I've been here for 30 yrs!
F 65+Dem 1 Probably Yes Es una buena idea
F 65+Dem 1 Probably Yes More pickleball indoor and out ( yeah I’m one of them.)
F 65+Dem 1 Probably Yes
Parks are very important, especially as more people live in apartments. Please enforce camping bans
and keep our parks beautiful and safe
M 55-64 Rep 1 Probably Yes
Dog park areas are a very important part of everyday life in Englewood. Please keep this in mind of
all your decisions. I have lived here for 39 years and this is very important to me.
F 35-44 Unaf 2 Probably Yes
I think you do a good job with our parks. I do not think the Pirates Cove or Rec Center projects are
necessary.
M 55-64 Unaf 2 Probably Yes
Remove the homeless in the parks and along the Platte River. These areas need to be safe for our us
and our children to enjoy. More law enforcement and sticker laws to convict criminals.
M 55-64 Unaf 2 Probably Yes We should try to move away from non-essential water use
F 65+Unaf 2 Probably Yes Putting these together rather than multiple choices might be a better option
F 18-34 Dem 2 Probably Yes
I included some in my feedback comment for the last question. I generally support improving all our
neighborhoods. I appreciate when dollars can be spent on more efficient and environmentally
responsible choices, but also recognize the need for families that generate revenue.
O 18-34 Dem 2 Probably Yes
I think Emerson park should include an off lease dog area, or at least have off leash hours. Emerson
park is in the Northeast corner of Englewood, which is also the only part of Englewood without an off
leash dog area. All other quadrants of the city have off leash areas, which means surrounding
neighborhoods can walk their dogs to an off leash area. We, in the Northeast corner, are the only
part of Englewood without an off leash area within walking distance.
F 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes Keep restrooms open for longer duration each year
F 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes Pirates Cove is overpriced for residents who are footing the tax bill.
F 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes
Splash pads, beautiful landscaping, large playgrounds — these are all important! Also important:
native, drought-resistant, pollinator-friendly plants, and NO PESTICIDES! We have a small child who
loves to play at Englewood’s parks. Please keep him and his friends safe!

M 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes
I generally support any park improvements and maintenance. My only real feedback is that some
projects appear to take far longer than they should - thinking specifically about the tennis court
rebuild at Romans park, or at least that’s how it often appears as a neighbor. Please post more helpful
information to give project timelines, budgets, scope, to help people appreciate the work happening.
A well designed infographic, renderings and drawings as part of the project construction signage
would be greatly appreciated and I think would help inform all of us in a positive way about what
our money is being spent on.
M 35-44 Dem 2 Probably Yes
Would love to see more walkability overall- Miller field is less than a mile from me but I'd have to
walk along a stretch of 285 with no sidewalk and the Greenway doesn't connect to that route either.
Would also love to see cheaper daily/guest passes for all rec facilities including the pool- there are
no day passes for the pool at all currently!
F 45-54 Dem 2 Probably Yes It would be nice to be included in some of the local park planning.
F 55-64 Dem 2 Probably Yes I wish there were more off leash dog park options
M 55-64 Dem 2 Probably Yes
It’s a tough climate for such asks, but people can be made to see the value in investing in the future.
Not everyone, but enough.
F 65+Dem 2 Probably Yes
I lived in Denver for 30 some years and moved to Englewood to minimize homeowner
responsibility. If I knew the quality of the water I may have not chosen Englewood for my new
residence
F 65+Dem 2 Probably Yes Let’s update our parks.
M 65+Dem 2 Probably Yes
Our smaller parks - like Emerson and Clarkson and Bates Logan for example are real gems that
enhance quality of life and RE value
M 45-54 Rep 2 Probably Yes Fix the flooding in every area of Englewood
F 65+NR 2 Probably Yes
I think all of these projects sound good and beneficial to the citizens of Englewood. My only worry is
that the county tax assessment for my home has gone from my house being valued around
$525,000.00 in 2019 to around $750,00.00 in 2023. As a senior citizen on a fixed income I worry
about the total amount all of these improvements would add to my tax bill.
F 18-34 Unaf 3 Probably Yes Can we get more pickleball courts? Better or more biking trails?
F 18-34 Unaf 3 Probably Yes Emphasis on ADA projects and sustainable green items is always a plus.

M 18-34 Unaf 3 Probably Yes
I would reject major pool improvements beyond maintenance and upkeep but would be in favor of
more neighborhood pools that my family could walk/bike too and aren't as crowded as Pirates Cove.
I would love to spend my money in my city but South Suburban has better outdoor pools for people
who don't want to fight the crowds at Pirates Cove every day.
M 18-34 Unaf 3 Probably Yes Love all the improvements at Jason park recently!
M 18-34 Unaf 3 Probably Yes
The biggest improvements you could make would be to keep the homeless out of the parks, libraries
and rec centers, and clean up all of their trash and needles so that the everyday public would feel
safe using all of these parks that we're going to be voting to spend all this money on.
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Probably Yes Englewood needs more protected and/or dedicated bike lanes that actually connect destinations!
F 35-44 Unaf 3 Probably Yes
One of the only ways these improvements will be beneficial is if they are monitored and kept safe
from the homeless who have been moving into public restrooms and bathing in current water
features of the Englewood area
M 35-44 Unaf 3 Probably Yes
Anonymous and confidential? I hope the nuggets win go all the way! And then lose to the Thunder
in the post season next year! I think it'd be a good idea to know what priority the city and those that
put all these plans together hold these projects in, since there's some risk assuming all will be
approved. I know what I think is more important than others but I'd bet there are people who that
know which projects are more important for the city.
O 45-54 Unaf 3 Probably Yes
Please stop decreasing our access to the off leash dog parks. There are plenty of parks in Englewood
that are not off leash. And you are making improvements to those parks. Stop limiting what little off
leash space is left for us. Jason park was revamped and there is virtually no one there during the
hours we cannot access with our dogs. Please pay attention to that kind of important information,
and stop making blanket rules at these parks that do not benefit anyone. If the intent is to reduce the
use of the park- that is what happened at Jason.
F 55-64 Unaf 3 Probably Yes
I stated my response we can barely afford to live here now Seriously we don’t need to have more
money tacked onto us
F 18-34 Dem 3 Probably Yes Anything to save water and energy and improve accessibility would be great!
F 18-34 Dem 3 Probably Yes Please add a disc golf course!!!!!

For the Englewood Rec Center improvement plan, can the water be adjusted to be somewhat
warmer? We had our infant / toddler daughter in swim lessons there but decided to stop going
because the water is so cold that she was shivering and freezing cold partway through her class.
(And so were my husband and I.) I think the Englewood rec bond plan sounds interesting, but to me,
the temperature of the water is a huge barrier to being able to enjoy the pool, even with a new surf
simulator, etc. Thank you!! :)
F 35-44 Dem 3 Probably Yes
In general, increasing the perception and maintenance of the community is a win for me, even if I
don’t use the space.
F 35-44 Dem 3 Probably Yes
Replace light bulbs under Hampden overpass next to Little Dry Creek. Lights are out and it’s unsafe
to walk. Lighting would improve foot traffic in the area.
F 35-44 Dem 3 Probably Yes
Transparency is important to me as a tax payer. Would like to know how all monies are spent for the
community I live in and support.
M 35-44 Dem 3 Probably Yes Make sure there is a solid plan for continued maintenance on the parks
F 45-54 Dem 3 Probably Yes
Consider leveraging parks for storm water management and quality + leveraging water quality
funding to enhance improvements
M 55-64 Dem 3 Probably Yes Confidentiality
F 65+Dem 3 Probably Yes
If we are improving our parks and rec programs, how about replacing the woman at the front desk at
the Malley Center? She is never friendly, often rude to guests at the facility and is just not a pleasant
person. That would be a huge improvement at the Malley Center!
F 65+Dem 3 Probably Yes
Skip improvements to the Rec Center and Pirates Cove. If people want that they can go to Water
World.
F 65+Dem 3 Probably Yes The only project I would question at this time is the Englewood rec center project
M 18-34 Rep 3 Probably Yes Water efficiency and conservation should be a top priority.
F 35-44 Rep 3 Probably Yes Need to figure out how to keep homeless out most importantly
F 55-64 Rep 3 Probably Yes Good planning and good luck with the voters

M 18-34 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
Adapting to changing climate should be a major priority. Native and low water plants, reduced turf
areas or transition to lower water species, etc. Community gardens can be great local assets
especially when the produce can be shared with those who may have harder access to healthy
foods. Use new and existing structures as supports for solar panels, rain catchment areas for
irrigation, and shaded seating/gathering areas. Plant native wildflowers for pollinators and wildlife in
low use areas and then let the grass grow long to make habitats. Not only is this good for the local
ecosystem but makes a great attraction for people to come to parks to see. Continue to study and
implement how public spaces can be conduits for people experiencing hardship to get access to
help and services rather than a place they are excluded from. (homelessness, food security, etc)
M 18-34 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
I would strongly request that an ADA sidewalk be proposed for the southwest greenbelt park. It is
only 4 or so blocks long and gets heavy foot traffic all day. There is currently no way a wheelchair
could make it over the deteriorating pavement footpath…
M 18-34 Unaf 4 Probably Yes I'd like to see improved workout facilities/equipment at the Englewood Rec Center
M 18-34 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
New trendy workout / fitness machinery seems to be rarely used. There’s already an entire
specialized fitness equipment room upstairs at the rec center that nobody ever seems to use. As
someone who goes almost daily more effort should be placed on cleaning the dust off the fans
before spending millions of dollars on trendy amenities that offer no return on investment. If you
want to build an indoor surf area maybe add it to pirates cove. Taking away the lap pool at pirates
cove may make the lap pool at the rec center more busy. You could set a long term plan to create
winter/indoor amenities at pirates cove rather than adding them to the rec center. This would provide
a reason for parts of pirates cove to be open year round, adding a winter “park” to our community.
M 18-34 Unaf 4 Probably Yes You all have done a great job as of late with the existing budget you have utilized lately.
F 35-44 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
All of these improvements sounds great! The only thing I’m ABSOLUTELY AGAINST is building tall
apartments that block the mountain views of homes that have been here for generations!
Unacceptable!
F 35-44 Unaf 4 Probably Yes
As a Mom of 3 kids it is frustrating to see tents of homeless set up at the Englewood Library. We
would like to play and hang out outside but the homeless asking for money at public parks is getting
out of hand.

F 35-44 Dem 4 Probably Yes I shared in the previous slide.
M 35-44 Dem 4 Probably Yes
Don't run the sprinklers every day at Jason st Park. That is not the best way to create strong and
healthy grass, and it's wasteful. Water parks 3-4 times a week.

My assumption was that these items were brought up based on at least a good portion of users going

M 35-44 Dem 4 Probably Yes
The revenue generating items and cost savings from irrigation are important for the city. Where
continued improvements to the parks is important I am more concerned around the infrastructure
(roads, bridges and sidewalks) as compared to making improvements to parks which for the most
part have been improved over the years. Where separate from the city the cuts to the School District
budget is concerning and I am hopefully we see a ballot measure from the District.
F 45-54 Dem 4 Probably Yes Focus on “health and safety” of our services.
M 45-54 Dem 4 Probably Yes
I am curious the annual maintenance or long term maintenance costs for such projects. Would help

F 35-44 Rep 4 Probably Yes
When thinking about updating public areas, it’s important to think about cleanliness and safety. Our
parks (especially Belleview) are overwhelmed with things left by our homeless population. These
things include lighters, broken glass, bottles filled with urine, trash, etc. I barely used Englewood
parks last summer, because of this. It wasn’t safe for my kids to play. Paying attention to this problem
will also be a huge perk in voters voting yes to these projects and a bond.

F 18-34 Unaf 1 Definitely No
Do something about the homeless and drug users in the parks that ruin it for taxpayers who want to

F 35-44 Unaf 1 Definitely No
I think it's great you want to improve our irrigation system, ADA accessibility, plant native plants, and
maintain our parks. The water park expansion and water feature changes to the rec center are
frivolous and offer minimal benefit to the community. Private dollars and not taxpayers should fund
these changes.

Only do necessary items. The estimates are crazy high and someone needs to keep the trades in

I would strongly caution the City of Englewood against asking the citizens and taxpayers for a rate
increase at this time. We are all struggling in the current economic climate and the city should not
be expanding or improving when citizens are not able to do the same. Everyone, including

As already stated in the survey, the city needs to focus on the roads, paving, alleys, and eliminating
the Inc. ever increasing homeless problem, and stealing by the homeless and others in the
community before they dump more taxpayer money into parks. Businesses are closing and leaving
because of the homeless and the facts and your tax base is dwindling because of that. Fix that
problem first before thinking about parks.

again the citizens can’t pay their bills as it is, everyone Hass to struggle and worry how they’re gonna
pay next months bills. As soon as they pay this months bills we don’t want to have to pay taxes or
any money towards any of this crap that is unnecessary for actual survival and living instead of
focusing on wasting everyone’s money why don’t you focus on finding a way to bring income in to
help the citizens no matter the age or background we could use income coming in not income going

Englewood needs to focus on combating crime and homelessness to make the community safe
before asking residents to approve new spending on parks. The parks are full of homeless people
doing drugs, screaming and yelling, and trashing the area. Why would Englewood residents agree to
pay more taxes for park improvements when the parks are not currently safe or enjoyable to visit?

Please consider the fact that pirates cove is only used a portion of the year, and that many initiatives

M 18-34 Unaf 4 Definitely No
Improve public parks that are free to visit. Provide value saving options to ensure decorative aspects
of the park all have function. Reducing unnecessary asthetic features vastly reduces the overall costs
of these projects. If it is added to the park, it should provide an added function to the space. In
addition to this. If the recreation facility charges admission or yearly passes. Profits should be used to
renovate or add onto the facility. The initial bond to creat the facility as a public property is
acceptable, but future renovations should come from it's revenue stream.

I hope the City reconsiders this position. Imagine taxing residents for these proposals, spending
millions of dollars in their concept and construction and then crime in these areas increases during
the interim, dissuading residents from using these amenities. After all, look at what happened at the
public library earlier this year. Do you feel that would be a wise choice of the limited resources the
City possesses? How about getting the PFAS out of my family's drinking water, or is their health and
safety less critical to you? How about addressing why we need police cameras in the King Soopers
and Wal-mart parking lots to keep those areas safe. I'm tired of being harassed by these folks when I
visit these areas and have made a deliberate effort to shop elsewhere as a result. We've been driving
to Littleton to go grocery shopping. How do you feel about that? Also, perhaps I am being cynical,
but I feel like even if you completely fund the proposed changes to parks through taxing residents; it
feels extremely likely that you will still increase admission prices to the Rec Center and Pirate's Cove
once the construction is completed anyway, which would get residents paying to enjoy these
amenities twice.
O 35-44 Unaf Ref Definitely No
Focus on smaller, local parks. These are areas families visit multiple times a week and are low-cost
relative to enjoyment provided. Large rec centers and Pirates Cove are money pits and do little to
increase the daily satisfaction of residents.
M 55-64 Unaf Ref Definitely No Bring back the leash laws in are public parks. Dogs should not run loose.

I really like the additions suggested for the Local park improvements. They seem really well thought-
out and elevate parks that are essentially a patch of grass at the moment. There is a part of me that
feels like I should vote for everything (Leslie Knope would approve). But, if the total cost is $45
million and it costs me approximately $150 per every 4.5 million spent. I would be looking at paying
an extra $1500/year on my property taxes. That seems like a lot for things I will never use.
F 35-44 Unaf 1 Probably No

Sharing plans of how some of these projects will bring increased revenue to pirates cove or other
areas to cover some of the costs and what those projections are would be helpful. Also info on the
current usage of parks and how this will help make it better. Also, this leaves off a ton of parks that
need updates leaving a feeling of constant asking for more money to get things improved. It feels
piecemeal, we need a sustainable plan to meet all of the city park funding needs. Also, feels way
more encouraging to hear about plans to use native plants and reduce grass than spending millions
on new irrigation. What's the park plan for climate change, higher temps and periods of drought.
Lastly, what other funding sources are being incorporated.
F 45-54 Unaf 1 Probably No
I’m not concerned about paying more in my property taxes to improve parks and recreation facilities.
I am concerned that that money will go to the communities with local parks that are paying into it.

Just spruce things up; do the essentials well: landscaping, playgrounds, open spaces,etc. Splash
parks and lighting sculptures are all fine and good and can be found other places. You’re ideas and
the increase in prices and fancification of Englewood will just lead to gentrification. Maybe increases

F 55-64 Dem 2 Probably No
See earlier swimmers pool comment for pirate’s cove I think all Englewood citizens should have
access to a park with, at minimum, shade trees and shrubs/flowers, a free playground and basketball
hoops, ideally a tennis court ((play space for all ages), paths and benches, and ideally picnic table(s).
I do not think money should be targeted to making parks into Disneyland-like places with specialty
activity areas or fantastical landscaping, nor giving the bulk of funds to only a few parks. I think the
number one mission for city parks is to allow everyone access to nature and a safe place
“free”/creative play. And while I and my kids have enjoyed pirate’s cove’s slides and lazy river, I do
not think neighborhood parks should be turned into Instagram-worthy photo opportunities or try to
compete for a person”s attention with over-the-top visuals or activities That being said, I would likely
vote to add a new slide or mat feature to pirate’s cove if it didn’t take away from the swimming pool,
and if I could afford it as a homeowner
M 55-64 Dem 2 Probably No
Better planning, fix the nessesay item like roads, water, sidewalks. Better facilities cfor adults. Water
slides and wave machines will not fly. Keep kids in school, pay teacher and federal standard for law
enforcement. Then we will talk.😤😤😤😤😤

Thank you for proposing investments into our parks and open spaces. They are without a doubt
lacking compared to other neighboring cities and counties. That said, I would want admission
prices to be held constant for residents at places like pirates cove and the Rec center if we are
funding these projects via the bond measures. Visibility into the cost of operating some of these
places compared to the income made from admission charges etc would be great to understand.
And what other measures the city or these buildings are taking to cut costs to *help* fund these
improvements. If I want improvements done to my home, I have to make trade offs and save money.
If government wants improvements, they charge the citizens more. And the “more” never stops.

While I like the idea of improved parks and recreation areas, I don’t trust Englewood’s City Council at

considering the varied priorities and beliefs of their constituents. It’s difficult to give hard-earned
money to City projects given that, as well as given the recent gigantic property tax increase from
Arapahoe County.

Not Parks and recreations suggestion, but it would be nice if the alleys in Englewood would not have
so much trash and furniture in them so people can get through, this is not a dump site, and the
garbage men just seem to ignore it and roll about their way

Other than improvements the local parks lack lighting and safety. On the summer they get cleaned
up more because the mowers come but they are covered in glass and trash in the winter.

Some of the proposals I would definitely vote yes. Others strongly consider voting no. Need more

The proposed upgrades to Pirates Cove and certain other parks do not seem aligned with the most
important issues facing Englewood today. The highest priority should be redeveloping the strip-mall
wasteland between Broadway and the light rail station, into a pedestrian-friendly corridor with
smaller storefronts, restaurants/patios, parks, and general social gathering spots. Englewood's
economic future depends not just on residents of Englewood supporting local business, but visitors
from Denver doing the same, as well. Until the infrastructure in the area north of Hampden and west
of Broadway is improved, there is very little else to attract residents from places like Washington Park
or Platt Park.

An impartial third party investigation needs to be launched into the water quality of Englewood’s tap.
The nitrate levels are ridiculously high which, aside from being seriously unsafe for the city’s
residents, imparts a disgusting fertilizer flavor to every glass of water. The city has been negligent in
informing its citizens of these dangers, and has misrepresented the water reports it delivers - no
doubt banking on the hope that its citizens are too busy to follow up on the claims the city of
Englewood has made. This kind of moral and ethical failing exposes those elected officials who
made these decisions as nothing more than parasitic charlatans who, unable to maintain a real job,
choose instead to leach off of the community at large.
M 35-44 Unaf 3 Undecided
At first I was hesitant to vote for all of the park improvements on one bond measure. But knowing
that the annual $84 comes off the books I would feel more comfortable voting Yes. I feel most people
in Englewood would approve it if they new that information. Also another thing and I'm not sure if
this falls under park maintenance. Can we please to do something to improve the center median
planters on Broadway. It seems like they have been neglected for years. I have never seen anyone
working on them in the 4 years I've lived here. The paint is chipping, all of the plants are dead. Its
just a real sore considering how great Englewood is and its the first thing you see driving into town. A
fresh coat of paint, some lighting and some native species of plants and new mulch/rocks would fo a
long way.

Having a porta potty at the river on Oxford would really help me be able to take my aging after there
during off season. Also not messing with the Jason park, off leash, no fence, dog park. I’ve been here
13 yrs and trained up two dogs that have passed. Looking to get a puppy soon and it is huge to have
the fenced park for puppy trading and then graduate to the Jason park one after I’ve gotten full
control of the dog. The park naturally attracts other good dog owners because of the lack of fencing.
Please don’t fence it in. I know a bunch of people would feel the same. Also the city ditch is looking
great and you all do a great job controlling the homeless. Fells super safe and everyone around me
fells the same.
O 35-44 Unaf 3 Undecided
There is no reason to better the parks if families do not feel safe. I would not pay additional taxes to
pay to better our parks if they have needles, drugs, and homeless surrounding them or in them.
Before improving the parks, one should think about cleaning up the drug and homeless problem
you see daily.

I have no problem with most of these projects, but every voter whether they own a home or not can
vote. Renters will eventually pay for property tax in the form on increased rent. I don't believe renters
understand how much is put on homeowners. The Dry Creek project will never work until we get a
handle on the homeless problem. It sounds nice, but they will be all over something like that.

50 million dollars and not a single mention of improvements to the pitiful space the city has “gifted”
to dog owners. The national average for pet ownership is over 70% with a whopping 44.5% of
households owning a dog. How is the city going to convince people that installing a surf simulator is
more important than figuring out how to allow pet owners a place to let their dogs exercise (you
know, because the sidewalks are not walkable in Englewood and there’s zero safety enforcement on
residential streets so the options are limited on where folks can exercise their dogs). The city
wouldn’t lead this survey with a question about how the public perceives their fiscal responsibility if
they didn’t know the answer already. More and more people are asking questions as to where all of
our taxpayer money goes every year when the roads aren’t getting fixed, the water is is atrocious and
we just spent how many millions of dollars cleaning our storm drains but not a single street sweep
since. I’m pretty sure that’s what put us there in the first place and seeing the amount of sediment on
the streets that didn’t make it into the storm water drains is frustrating to say the least. I appreciate
that the city is looking to improve the existing parks but I can’t help but think there are other things in
the city that should be addressed before we spend how much money on a water slide and surf
simulator? Id sooner approve a bond measure to pay teachers a livable wage and I’m unmarried ,
childless and in my late twenties. Get with it englewood

being considered by the city. We now want to know which project or projects are the most
important to you. In other words, what park and recreation projects do you want the city
to complete or not? Keeping that in mind, please rank the following park and recreation
projects in order of importance.
Ranking a project #1 indicates it is the most important project, and you would likely
approve a ballot measure to fund its completion. Ranking project #8 indicates it is the least
important project, and you may be less likely to approve a ballot measure to fund its
completion.

T16. To pay for every project described in this survey, voters would need to approve a 4.5-
mill property tax increase, which would generate $50 million in dedicated funding.
Although $50 million is more than the total $47.277 million cost of the current project list,
the additional $2.723 million will be used to address any future increase in project costs.
A 4.5-mill increase would cost a homeowner about $30.04 annually for every $100,000 of
a home’s value or $150.20 for a home valued at $500,000.

T20. Currently, Englewood homeowners are paying $84 annually for a home valued at
$500,000, or $16.80 for every $100,000 of their home’s value, to pay off bonds that will
expire at the end of this year. These bonds were issued after voter approval in 2001 and
were used for the expansion of and improvements to the Englewood Recreation Center and
the Malley Recreation Center and the construction of the Pirates Cove Aquatic Center.
Knowing this information, are you more likely to vote yes and approve or more likely to
vote no and reject the 4.5-mill increase to fund the recreation and parks projects listed in
this survey? As a reminder, the 4.5 mill increase would cost a homeowner about $30.04

T20. Currently, Englewood homeowners are paying $84 annually for a home valued at
$500,000, or $16.80 for every $100,000 of their home’s value, to pay off bonds
that will expire at the end of this year. These bonds were issued after voter
approval in 2001 and were used for the expansion of and improvements to the
Englewood Recreation Center and the Malley Recreation Center and the
construction of the Pirates Cove Aquatic Center.
Knowing this information, are you more likely to vote yes and approve or more
likely to vote no and reject the 4.5-mill increase to fund the recreation and parks
projects listed in this survey? As a reminder, the 4.5 mill increase would cost a

3/04/24 Public Comment
Good evening Council,
Both you and I hoped I wouldn’t be standing here again.
But my conscience won’t allow me to stop fighting to get you back to your original 2019
commitment to invest $7.4 Million in ACTUAL 25-year rain event capacity storm water
infrastructure protection for the MANY vulnerable families living in the upstream half South
Englewood Basin.
These were Englewood Families who suffered through the traumatic deadly devastation of an
actual Major 25 to 50-year rain event on 7/24/18 through absolutely no fault of their own.
The City of Englewood had promoted residential development throughout the entire Major
Precipitation Drainage-Way - the huge South Englewood Basin.
This staff and this Council have targeted significant millions of dollars for families choosing
to live in flood plains of Rivers, Creeks, or Gulch Waterways - “riverine” floods.
But $7.4 million for families at risk for “Localized” flooding caused by this City’s residential
development in the path precipitation drainage-ways is “just too expensive”!!!
Director D’Andrea briefly promoted buying over 100 homes, I believe it was 160, homes in
what she referred to as the Flood Zone, to allow engineers to go in there and try to restore that
part of the Drainage-way.
Council decided against it expressing very high costs and decades of litigation.
That tragic deadly devastating major rain event definitely moved the first City Council to
actually stop ignoring the many many studies that had repeatedly identified the known flood
risks, and begin instead to seek to address it.
You ultimately selected Calibre, And you selected Calibre’s 25-year rain event capacity
infrastructure replacing dangerously inadequate aged 2-year rain event capacity infrastructure.
But Then CM Lewis came on board after the deadly flood.
And soon he and his Staff declared that they had a plan for the upstream half that would upsize
the Upstream half to 25-year rain event capacity for 1/4 the cost of calibre planned cost, and
that they could upsize it without having to wait to increase the capacity of the downstream half
of the South Englewood Basin.

That incredible claim should have set off alarm bells.
Instead City Council was literally awe struck and praised CM and Staff for their singular
advanced genius to have come up with such a remarkable advanced plan.
It was like watching a tragic slow motion nightmare of relativity intelligent Council Members
handing their brains over to a CM and Staff who simply had an agenda to avoid spending such
money in a place that didn’t have a visible river or creek, or any wealthy residents.
Let’s see …….. the current system‘s capacity was previously and yet again remains identified
(with the 2022 MHFD/Dewberry MDP), as a 2-year rain event capacity system.
Increasing capacity is the most expensive part of upsizing a StormWater infrastructure - which
was the goal.
But On page 2 of the touted 4 page Ulteig “Hydraulic Summary & Recommendations Report”
that was based on a limited focused “Acoma Street Area Drainage Study”, you can
find Ulteig’s actual stated directive from the City was “to improve the storm water conveyance
during significant rainfall events”, and “optimize the current systems capacity.”
Please note that Optimizing EXISTING capacity in NOT actually increasing the capacity.
But tragically, City Council seems unwilling or incapable of understanding the difference
between improving the hydraulics of a system (Ultieg), and actually increasing the capacity of
the system (Calibre).
That capacity issue revealed itself when the 6/22/23 10-year rain event hit Englewood causing
minor flooding on Acoma and another sinkhole on Oxford.
Recently CM Lewis was touting a homeowner who added a 4 inch cement lip in front of her
basement stairwell to try to protect her home from flooding. He was touting her example as
resident responsibly being better prepared to safely protect herself from what is seen the a
Video that I am about to play.
This video begins recording at 6:34 PM on 7/24/18 by a patron who was inside Franks Pizza
on the Corner of Broadway and Union,
It vividly and powerfully shows a raging flash flood River moving north down Broadway
slamming up against Frank’s building as part of the river splits rolling down Union while the
rest of the river continued down Broadway - ultimately completely engulfing Aroma Street
between Union and Tufts.
And Just before 7:00 PM on 7/24/18 the Englewood Police arrived responding to a 911 call of
a woman trapped in a basement on Acoma between Union and Tufts.
9News Reported:
“Read said Officers responded as fast as they could. And there was so much water they could
see a car floating by. Just before 7:00 PM the Officers saw the stairs leading into the
basement partially flooded. The door into the downstairs apartment was underwater.
Read said an officer had to dive several times to kick in the door.
Page 271 of 537
Then Officers began to feel around in the murky water because they knew someone was in
there. They located and got a ahold of the victim and pulled her out. Read said the water was
up to the ceiling in the basement apartment.
Read said the victim was not responsive when she was pulled out of the water. The Officers
performed CPR.”
Note - The Article went on to add that The home was built in full compliance with all laws
applicable at time of construction. And it was not subject to any retroactive changes.
I anticipate having to stand here again.
Thank you for 5 minutes of your time,

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Josh Keith, Tim Hoos
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DATE: March 4, 2024
SUBJECT:
Approval of an Amendment to an Intergovernmental Agreement
(IGA) with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for
the Design and Construction of Dartmouth Traffic Calming
Corridor
DESCRIPTION:
Approval of an Amendment to an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Colorado
Department of Transportation (CDOT), involving additional funds for the Design and
Construction of Dartmouth Traffic Calming Corridor
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve the proposed amendment to the Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to finalize the Design
and Construction of the Dartmouth Traffic Calming Corridor. The amendment is required due to
more funds being awarded to the project by CDOT.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
This project was considered and funded through the 2021 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
budget process.
On May 3, 2021, City Council approved Council Bill No.14 (Ordinance No.17 Series of 2021)
which authorized execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the city and the
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) which sets the terms for utilizing the
$1,080,000 in Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funds awarded for
this project.
On June 16, 2022, City Council approved the award of a contract to Apex Design to perform the
environmental and engineering design for the Dartmouth Traffic Calming Corridor.
On October 24, 2022, City Council was provided an update on the Dartmouth Traffic Calming
Corridor project that included representatives from Apex Design summarizing the preliminary
traffic analysis results and describing the Intersection Control Assessment Tool (ICAT) that was
used to determine that the mini-roundabout option would provide the most benefit over the
current traffic signals at each intersection. Information regarding the proposed public outreach
process was also provided at the meeting.
Funding for the City's required share of the additional grant amount was funded through the
2024 Capital Improvement Plan budget process.
Page 273 of 537
SUMMARY:
City staff applied for a federal grant for the Dartmouth Traffic Calming Corridor through the
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Initially, a grant was awarded to the city in the
amount of $1.08 million, now increased to $1.958 million. In order to receive the additional
$878,000 in federal grant money, the City is required to enter into an Amendment to the
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) as
well as commit to a local match of 10% of the additional grant amount. The local match will be
met with an additional $87,800 that has been budgeted in the 2024 Public Improvement Fund.
Also, an overmatch of $532,000, now $644,200, was included in the 2021 and 2024 CIP
budgets and will be used to construct sidewalk and other, related improvements which are not
required to meet the safety goals of the HSIP funded-portion of the project.
ANALYSIS:
Dartmouth Ave is a collector street with one of the highest crash rates in the city. The proposed
traffic calming efforts will focus on enhancing safety for all users and improving traffic flow
through vehicle speed reduction while also encouraging increased and safer pedestrian and
bicycle usage.
The proposed safety project will construct improvements on Dartmouth Avenue from Broadway
to University Boulevard. The following improvements have been included in the design to date.
Replace existing traffic signals at Logan Street and Downing Street with mini-
roundabouts. This will force vehicular traffic to slow down in order to traverse around the
roundabout but will also improve circulation by removing the traffic signal and, thus, the
need to stop at the intersections.
Construct curb bulb outs/extensions at approximately six intersections throughout the
corridor. This will aid in traffic calming as well as allow for shorter pedestrian travel
distances across Dartmouth Avenue.
Install supporting signage and marked crosswalks, where appropriate.
Other minor traffic calming, ADA compliance, and complete street design elements will
be included within these limits to support the overall goal of safety improvements and
reduced vehicular speeds.
The additional funding incorporated into this IGA Amendment is required to fully construct the
Dartmouth Traffic Calming Corridor improvements. As the design has progressed, it became
evident that additional funding would be needed to complete the design and construction of the
improvements and that the proposed Clarkson mini-roundabout would need to be eliminated
from the project due to budget constraints. The Clarkson intersection does not have the
accident history to support additional safety funding for a mini-roundabout at that intersection.
An IGA is required for this project as CDOT is responsible for overseeing and administering all
federal transportation funds in the state on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA). The IGA defines roles and responsibilities for each party and details the funding and
disbursements process. The IGA also details federal bidding and construction requirements
such as compliance with wage provisions in the Davis-Bacon Act, a minimum Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise (DBE) goal, etc.
Page 274 of 537
Upon approval of the IGA Amendment, city staff will work with the engineering consultant to
finalize the design and prepare an Invitation To Bid for construction of the project.
The awarded funding will be applied to both design and construction phases. The design phase
for this project is anticipated to extend through Spring 2024. Construction would then begin in
late 2024 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed amendment (which includes
more funds) to the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Colorado Department of
Transportation to finalize the Design and Construction of the Dartmouth Traffic Calming
Corridor.

appropriate
This project is tied to the following Neighborhoods goal from the Englewood Strategic Plan:
Ensure walkability and better ADA compliance
OUTREACH/COMMUNICATIONS:
The project team developed a website for a virtual public meeting that allowed for public input.
The website provided education about the project and the mitigation that is being considered.
The website also had a roll plot of the entire corridor showing an initial concept design and
Page 275 of 537
allowed for public input by way of sticky notes that could be placed on the roll plot along with an
area for general comments. The project website was open to the public to provide comment for
four weeks in the fourth quarter of 2022.
There will be a subsequent public outreach effort near the end of the design to share the design
and inform the public on the project schedule and construction impacts that may be
encountered.

B.Matching Funds
The matching ratio for the federal funds for this Work is 90% federal funds to 10% Local Agency
funds, and this ratio applies only to the $2,165,800.00 that is eligible for federal funding. All other costs
are borne by the Local Agency at 100%. If the total cost of performance of the Work exceeds
$2,165,800.00, and additional federal funds are not available, the Local Agency shall pay all such
excess costs. If the total cost of performance of the Work is less than $2,165,800.00, then the amounts
of Local Agency and federal funds will be decreased in accordance with the funding ratio described
herein. This applies to the entire scope of Work.
C.Maximum Amount Payable
The maximum amount payable to the Local Agency under this Agreement shall be $1,958,000.00. For
CDOT accounting purposes, the federal funds of $1,958,000.00 and the Local Agency funds of $207,800.00
will be encumbered for a total encumbrance of $2,165,800.00, unless this amount is increased by an executed amendment before any increased cost is incurred. The total budget of this project is
$2,165,800.00, unless this amount is increased by an executed amendment before any increased cost is
incurred. The total cost of the Work is the best estimate available, based on the design data as approved at the time of execution of this Agreement, and that any cost is subject to revisions agreed to by the parties
prior to bid and award.. The maximum amount payable will be reduced without amendment when the actual
amount of the Local Agency’s awarded Agreement is less than the budgeted total of the federal funds and
the Local Agency matching funds. The maximum amount payable will be reduced through the execution of an Option Letter as described in Section 7. E. of this contract. This applies to the entire scope of Work.
D.Single Audit Act Amendment

sources defined as federal financial assistance for Single Audit Act Amendment purposes shall comply
with the audit requirements of 2 CFR part 200, subpart F (Audit Requirements) see also, 49 CFR 18.20
through 18.26. The Single Audit Act Amendment requirements applicable to the Local Agency receiving
federal funds are as follows:
i.Expenditure less than $750,000
If the Local Agency expends less than $750,000 in Federal funds (all federal sources, not just
Highway funds) in its fiscal year then this requirement does not apply.
ii.`Expenditure of $750,000 or more-Highway Funds Only
If the Local Agency expends $750,000 or more, in Federal funds, but only received federal
Highway funds (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, CFDA 20.205) then a program specific
audit shall be performed. This audit will examine the “financial” procedures and processes for
this program area.
iii.Expenditure of $750,000 or more-Multiple Funding Sources
If the Local Agency expends $750,000 or more in Federal funds, and the Federal funds are from
multiple sources (FTA, HUD, NPS, etc.) then the Single Audit Act applies, which is an audit on
the entire organization/entity.
iv.Independent CPA
Single Audit shall only be conducted by an independent CPA, not by an auditor on staff. An
audit is an allowable direct or indirect cost.

such sum or sums of money as may be proper in accordance with the price or prices set forth in the

hundred fourteen thousand eight-hundred three dollars ($1,314,803.00).

because of the public interest in health and safety, and that the City will suffer financial loss, and
inconvenience, if the Work is not complete within the time specified in the bid documents and
Attachment A – Statement of Work, plus any extensions thereof that have been agreed to by the
Parties. The Parties also recognize the delays, expense and difficulties involved in proving, in a legal
proceeding, the actual loss suffered by the City if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly,
instead of requiring any such proof, the City and Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for
delay, but not as a penalty, Contractor shall pay the City $2,300.00 for each day that expires after the
time specified for substantial completion until the Work is complete, and $2,300.00 for each day that

Contractor. Elite Industries Inc, cannot provide a warranty for Acts of God, Vandalism, Pet/Rodents/Pest

Article 2. PRELIMINARY MATTERS
2.1 DELIVERY OF BONDS AND EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE. When Contractor delivers the executed counterparts of the Contract to Owner, Contractor shall also deliver to Owner such bonds as Contractor may be required to furnish. Before any Work at the Site is started, Contractor and Owners shall each deliver to the other, with copies to each additional insured identified in the Article 13 below, certificates of insurance (and other evidence of insurance with either of them or any additional insured may reasonably request) which Contract and Owner respectively are required to purchase and maintain in accordance with Article 13 below.
2.2 NOTICE TO PROCEED: Owner will give the Contractor written Notice to Proceed with the Work after execution of the Contract by the Owner. The Contractor shall begin the Work by the date stated in the Notice to Proceed and diligently pursue the Work regularly and without interruption (unless otherwise directed in writing by the Engineer or Project Manager) with the work force necessary to complete the Work and achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time. The Contract Times will commence to run on the thirtieth day after the Effective Date of the Contract if no Notice to Proceed is provided. If any milestones are described in the Contract Documents or the approved Construction Schedule, the Work described by each milestone shall be accomplished on or before that milestone in accordance with the Contract Documents.
2.3 AUTHORITY OF THE DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR: The Project Engineer shall be the representative of the Owner in all matters concerning the Contract and the work to be performed thereunder, except the Department Director of the Owner shall have the authority to terminate the Contract as elsewhere herein provided. The Department Director shall make the final decision on all questions as to acceptable fulfillment of the Contract should a dispute between the Contractor and the Project Engineer occur.
2.4 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: It is agreed by the parties hereto that the following list of instruments, drawings and documents which are attached or incorporated by reference constitute and shall be referred to either as the Contract Documents or the Contract and all of said instruments, drawings, and documents taken together as a whole constitute the Contract between the parties hereto and they are as fully a part of this agreement as if they were set out verbatim and in full:

Page 342 of 537
8
Invoices for Payment shall be due. On or before such day of each month after the Construction Work has commenced (but not earlier than the first day of such month), Owner shall submit to Contractor a “Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment” based on the Schedule of Values, and such other materials and information as may be required by the Agreement. No “Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment” except the Application for Final Payment shall be made for an amount less than $1,000.00.
b) The Contractor shall submit signed estimates for progress payments on a monthly basis based on “Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment” for all Work completed to date. Estimates shall be prepared by the Owner no later than ten (10) days after the end of the month for Work subject to the application. Estimates shall be produced in a format reflecting the line items for which payment is requested according to the Unit Price Form in the Proposal and any applicable Change Order, shall be dated as of the actual date of submittal (or revised submittal, as applicable), and shall reflect the Work completed and the date to which Work has been completed. The Contractor will provide support documentation for all estimates, as requested.
c) Each Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment shall constitute a representation and warranty of Contractor (whether or not specifically stated) that Contractor is not in default hereunder, the amounts requested in the Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment are due hereunder, after payment of the amounts requested in the Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment, the amount remaining to be paid under the Contract is sufficient to pay for the balance of the Work, the Work performed to date is in accordance with that contemplated by the Milestone Schedule (or specifying the portions thereof that are not), Contractor has no claims hereunder and has no request for changes in the Milestone Schedule or the Contract Sum not provided for in the Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment. Each Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment shall further constitute the representation and warranty of Contractor (whether or not specifically stated) that the percentage of the Work represented to have been done in each category provided on the Schedule of Values has, in fact, been completed as of the last day of the period for which such Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment has been submitted. The period covered by a Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment shall end not earlier than ten (10) days before the due date for the Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment, unless Contractor and Owner agree otherwise in writing.
d) Each Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment shall set forth the status of all Proposed Changes, Change Directives, and Change Orders.
e) Contractor shall promptly submit such additional information and documents as Owner or Project Professionals may reasonably request in support of the Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment.
f) The signature on each application is a representation by the Contractor to the Owner that the Work has progressed to the point indicated, that the Work covered by the application is in accordance with the Contract Documents, that the money received as a result of the application will be used to discharge the Contractor’s obligations under the Contract, and that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount requested.
g) By signing a Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment, the Contractor warrants that: (i) the title to the Work covered by the estimate of Work completed will pass to the Owner by incorporation into the completed Work; (ii) the Work covered by previous estimates of Work completed is free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances, except for any interest created by retainage; and (iii) no Work covered by the estimate of Work completed is subject to an agreement under which an interest therein or an encumbrance thereon is retained by the seller or otherwise imposed by the Contractor or any other person or entity.
h) The Contractor shall provide notice and reason, to the subcontractor or supplier and the Owner, why the subcontractor or supplier is not being paid. The Contractor shall not include in its Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment any billing for defective Work or for work performed by Subcontractors or Suppliers if it does not intend to pay the Subcontractors or Suppliers for such work.
i) Applications may include the value of acceptable materials required in the construction which have been delivered on the site of the Work or to adjacent railway siding and for which acceptable provisions have been made for preservation and storage, providing the Contractor submits with its monthly estimate paid invoices in duplicate for the material for which payment is being requested. Material paid for by the Owner becomes the property of the Owner and, in the event of the default on the part of the Contractor, the Owner may use or cause to be used such materials in construction of the Work provided for in the Contract.

j) The authorized Owner representative(s) must approve the applications and estimates before progress payments will be made. The Owner will make payments within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a signed monthly estimate in proper form containing all required and requested information. Progress payments are payments on accounts and shall not be construed as acceptance by the Owner of any part of the Work.
k) All progress payments, except for the Final Payment, shall be subject to correction on subsequent applications after the discovery of any error. Approval of an application for payment of Work completed or actual payment by the Owner shall not foreclose the right of the Owner to examine the books and records of the Contractor to determine the correctness and accuracy of any item.
l) The Contractor shall make partial payments of the amount due and payable to each of its Subcontractors and Suppliers in the same manner as the Owner is required to pay the Contractor under this article. This provision shall not create any privity of contract between the Owner and any Subcontractor or Supplier, or make any Subcontractor or Supplier a third- party beneficiary of this Contract.
3.2.4 Retainage & Withheld Amounts
a) The Owner will retain five percent (5%) of the total amount earned, including Change Orders, as indicated in each approved application until Final Payment. Securities are not acceptable to the Owner in lieu of retainage.
b) If the Owner finds that satisfactory progress is being made in all phases of the Contract and work is more than 80% complete, it may, upon written request by the Contractor, authorize payment from the withheld percentage. Before such payment is made, the Owner shall determine that satisfactory and substantial reasons exist for the payment and shall require written approval from any Surety furnishing the Payment Bond or Performance Bond.
c) The Owner may withhold, in addition to retained percentages from Contractor payments, such an amount or amounts from any progress payment or Final Payment as may be necessary to cover: • Claims for labor or materials furnished the Contractor or any Subcontractor or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims; • Failure of Contractor to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents • Failure of the Contractor to make proper payment to Subcontractors or Suppliers; • A reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed for the balance then unpaid; • Evidence of damage to another contractor, utility, or private property;
• Claims filed in connection with the Work or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims. • Uncorrected defective Work or guarantees that have not been met;
• Failure of the Contractor to submit cost breakdowns, schedules, reports and other information required under the Contract; • Persistent failure to carry out the Work according to the Contract; • Failure to keep a superintendent on the Site during Construction Work.
• Reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time and that the unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; • Any tax delinquency, unpaid fee, or other unpaid financial obligation of the Contractor owed to the Owner; • Any request that the Owner pay additional compensation to another contractor as a result of delays in the performance of that contractor’s work caused by the Contractor’s acts or omissions; and • Any other amounts that the Owner is authorized to withhold under the Contract Documents.
If the reason for withholding is removed, the Owner will make payment of the withheld sums with the next regular progress payment unless another basis for withholding exists
d) Execution of the Contract by the Contractor shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor to claim any right of payment of interest upon any funds retained or withheld by the Owner pursuant to these General Conditions or C.R.S. § 38-26-107.
3.2.5 Substantial Completion
a) When the Contractor considers the entire work ready for its intended use, the Contractor shall
Page 344 of 537
10
notify the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete, except for minor items specifically listed by Contractor as incomplete (the Contractor’s punch list), and request that the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, issue a Notice of Substantial Completion.
b) Within seven (7) days after the receipt of such notice, the Contractor, Engineer, or Project Manager and any other appropriate Owner representatives shall inspect the Work to determine the status of completion and the Contractor’s punch list.
• If the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, does not consider the Work substantially complete, the inspection will cease and the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will notify the Contractor in writing giving the reasons for denial of the Notice of Substantial Completion and the Contractor will proceed with the Work. All costs associated with such premature inspection, including any compensation for additional design services and the Owner’s additional costs, shall be deducted from any payment due to the Contractor.
• If the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, considers the Work substantially complete, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will prepare and deliver to the contractor a Notice of Substantial Completion. The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall attach to the notice a punch list of items to be completed or corrected before Final Acceptance. Failure to include any items on the punch list shall not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
3.2.6 Right of Early Occupancy or Use
a) The Owner shall have the right to take early possession of and to use any completed or partially completed portions of the Work, even if Substantial Completion of the Work has not occurred and even if the Work has not been fully accepted. Such possession and early occupancy shall not constitute Substantial Completion of such portions of the Work nor affect the Owner’s right to assess liquidated damages.
b) If the Owner elects to take possession of and to use any completed or partially completed portions of the Work prior to Substantial Completion, an inspection shall be made by the Contractor and the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. Based upon such inspection, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will attempt to list all incomplete Work items observed, and shall provide the Contractor with such list. However, the absence of an item from the list shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility to perform all of the Work. Any and all areas so occupied will be subject to a final inspection prior to Final Acceptance and the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy, if required.
c) At the time of such inspection, the Parties shall also negotiate the responsibilities of the Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, property insurance premiums, and damage to the Work. These negotiations are subject to the final approval of the Owner.
d) If the Contractor believes there will be an additional cost or delay associated with completion of the Work while the Owner occupies the Work in whole or in part under this section, the Contractor shall advise the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, by Contractor Change Request of all such costs and delays at or before the time of such inspection. If the Contractor fails or refuses to furnish such cost or delay information, or fails or refuses to comply with the Contractor Change Request procedure, the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights to assert any claim for such additional cost or delay.
3.2.7 Final Acceptance
a) When the Work specified in the Contract (including all punch list items) is completed and the final cleanup has been performed, the Contractor shall notify the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, that all Work under the Contract has been completed and the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall, within seven (7) days after such notice, make the final inspection.
b) If the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, finds that the Project has been completed according to the Contract requirements and that all parts of the Work are in good condition and in working order, the Owner, upon the recommendation of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall issue a written Notice of Final Acceptance. Any Notice of Final Acceptance issued orally or without proper Owner authorization is void.
c) If the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, finds that the Project has not been completed according to the Contract requirements and that not all parts of the Work are in good condition and in working order, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall compile a punch list of corrective or replacement Work to be completed by the Contractor and Contract obligations yet to be satisfied that the Contractor shall complete or fulfill to the Project
Page 345 of 537
11
Engineer, or Project Manager’s satisfaction, at the Contractor’s expense, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a Notice of Final Acceptance.
3.2.8 Final Settlement & Final Payment
a) After Final Acceptance, the Project Engineer, Contractor, or other person designated by the Owner, as appropriate, will prepare a final estimate of the total value of all Work performed under the Contract. This will include all extra Work properly authorized and performed. All prior estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the final estimate and payment. In the absence of error or fraud, all estimates, when approved by the Owner, shall be conclusive evidence of the Work performed and materials furnished.
b) The Owner shall not authorize final payment until all items on the punch list have been completed, a Notice of Final Acceptance is issued, and the Notice of Final Settlement has been published. If the Work is substantially completed, but Final Acceptance is prevented by the unavailability of materials, or other causes beyond the control of the Contractor, and if consistent with any applicable bond, the Owner, in its sole discretion, may release to the Contractor all amounts due except for a retainage of two (2) times the cost of completing the unfinished Work as estimated by the Owner.
c) Before the Owner will advertise final settlement, the Contractor shall demonstrate to the operating personnel of the Owner the proper operation and maintenance of all equipment and systems, and deliver to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager: • All guarantees and warranties;
• Bound sets of required operations and maintenance manuals and instructions as required by the Contract Documents; • Record Documents required by the Contract Documents;
• Satisfactory evidence that all payroll, material bills, taxes, and other indebtedness connected with the Work have been paid or otherwise satisfied; • A complete and final, unconditional waiver or release of any and all lien and claim rights from each Subcontractor, materialman, Supplier, manufacturer, and dealer for all labor, equipment and material used or furnished by each on the Work; • Consent of the Surety to final payment; • All submittals required by the Contract Documents; and
• Any other documents required to be furnished by the Contract Documents
d) The Work shall be advertised (Notice of Contractor’s Settlement) in accordance with C.R.S. § 38-26-107. This statute governs the maintenance and enforcement of claims for payment against the Project by Subcontractors, Suppliers and certain others. Final payment and settlement shall be made only after the Contractor has completed the foregoing requirements, and the Owner is satisfied that no claims by Subcontractors or Suppliers have been filed or remain pending.
e) If any unpaid claim for labor, materials, rental machinery, tools, supplies, or equipment is filed prior to the date set for final settlement, the Owner shall withhold from payments to the Contractor sufficient funds to ensure the payment of such claim, until the same shall have been paid or withdrawn. Such payment or withdrawal shall be evidenced by filing with the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, an unconditional receipt in full or an order for withdrawal signed by the claimant or its duly authorized agent or assignee. The Owner will withhold from payment any funds it may be required by law to withhold or that it may in the determination of the Owner be entitled to withhold, and final payment will not be made until, in the sole determination of the Owner, all conditions of the Contract and of law have been met.
f) If there are outstanding claims against the Contractor or its Subcontractors or for any other reason the Contractor is not able to fulfill one or more of the requirements of this section, the Owner may, at its sole discretion, waive the requirement, provided the Surety agrees to the Owner making final settlement without in any way lessening or modifying the Surety’s liability under such Bonds.
g) If any overpayment was made by the Owner at any time, the Contractor shall immediately return all overpaid amounts.
h) At the time of settlement, there shall be deducted from the final estimate (i) all previous payments made to the Contractor under the Contract, (ii) all amounts chargeable to the Contractor, (iii) all liquidated damages due the Owner; (iv) all unpaid taxes due and payable to the Owner; and (v) all damages and all other costs, expenses and charges properly chargeable to the Contractor under the terms of the Contract.
Page 346 of 537
12
i) Subject to delays allowed by Colorado law and these General Conditions, the Owner shall make Final Payment after Final Acceptance, including the release of all retainage and withheld amounts, except as authorized by the Contract Documents. Final Payment shall constitute complete payment for all Work, labor, materials, equipment, and miscellaneous items in the Project.
j) At the time of delivery to the Contractor of the final payment, the Contractor shall execute and give to the Owner a final receipt for the same.
k) The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all Claims by the Contractor except those previously made in accordance with these General Conditions which have been separately identified by the Contractor as unsettled in the final payment application, and which the Owner agrees in writing may be set over for resolution after final payment.
l) All provisions of these Contract Documents, including without limitation those establishing obligations and procedures, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the making or acceptance of final payment.
3.3 APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS: At present, the amount set forth in the Contract has been appropriated for the project. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties understand and acknowledge that each party is subject to Article X, § 20 of the Colorado Constitution (“TABOR”). The parties do not intend to violate the terms and requirements of TABOR by the execution of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that this Agreement does not create a multi-fiscal year direct or indirect debt or obligation within the meaning of TABOR and, notwithstanding anything in the Contract to the contrary, all payment obligations of the Owner are expressly dependent and conditioned upon the continuing availability of funds beyond the term of the Owner’s current fiscal period ending upon the next succeeding December 31. Financial obligations of the Owner payable after the current fiscal year are contingent upon funds for that purpose being appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise made available in accordance with the rules, regulations, and resolutions of the Owner and applicable law. Upon the failure to appropriate such funds, the Contract shall be deemed terminated. The Owner shall immediately notify the Contractor or its assignee of such occurrence in the event of such termination.
3.4 PAYMENT FOR INCREASED OR DECREASED QUANTITIES: When alterations in the Plans or quantities of Work not requiring Supplemental Agreements, as provided for above, are ordered and performed, the Contractor shall accept payment in full at the Contract unit price for the actual quantities of Work done. No allowance will be made for lost profits. Increased or decreased Work involving Supplemental Agreements will be paid for as stipulated in such agreements.
3.5 PAYMENT FOR OMITTED ITEMS: For any item omitted from the work under the provisions of Section 1.5, the Owner will pay the Contractor a fair and equitable amount for costs incurred directly related to such item prior to the date of the Owner's order to omit the item. No allowance will be made for lost profits in reimbursements to the Contractor for omitted items of Work. Acceptable materials ordered by the Contractor or delivered to the Work site prior to the date of cancellation, alteration, or suspension of the Work by order of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will be paid for at the actual cost to the Contractor and shall thereupon become the property of the Owner.
The Contractor shall immediately submit certified statements covering all money expended in preparation for any omitted item, and he shall be reimbursed for any money expended in preparation for Work on any omitted item when such preparation has no value to the remaining items of the Contract, or for a proportionate amount based on the total Contract price over which such preparation would ordinarily be distributed when other items are included in such preparation.
3.6 EXTRA AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK: Extra Work, for which no price is provided in the Proposal, shall be covered by a Supplemental Agreement which could be an addendum (additional work requested), amendment (change the terms of the agreement, or change order (change the specifications of original work) to be signed by both parties before such Work is commenced. Extra Work will be paid for either at a lump sum, or unit prices agreed upon, or on a Force Account basis. For all labor, teams, and foremen in direct charge of the specific operations accomplished on a Force Account basis, the Contractor shall receive the current local rate of wage, to be agreed upon before starting the Work, to which shall be added fifteen (15) percent of the sum thereof to cover cost of supervision, the rental of small tools and ordinary equipment, additional Bond, Unemployment Insurance, all overhead and any other costs not specifically stated. In addition, the Contractor shall be paid a sum equal to the Worker's Compensation insurance premium, the actual costs of Social Security taxes computed on the base rate for the class of Work involved for the actual amount of the payroll, and the public liability and property damage insurance premium; provided, however, that nothing in this Section will change the legal status of the relationship between the Parties to this Agreement. For all materials furnished and used by the Contractor on a Force Account basis, he shall receive the actual cost of such materials, including transportation charges as shown by original receipted bills, to which shall be added fifteen (15) percent of said actual cost.

For machine power tools or equipment, including fuel and lubricant, used on Force Account Work, payment for the same will be made on a rental basis at the rate agreed upon between the Contractor and the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, to which no rate or percentage shall be added.
The compensation as herein provided shall be received by the Contractor as payment for Extra Work done on a Force Account basis. The Contractor shall make no claim for Force Account Work, unless performed on written order and in accordance therewith. The Contractor's representative and the Inspector shall compare records of Extra Work done on a Force Account basis at the end of each day. Copies of these records shall be made upon suitable forms provided for this purpose, and signed by both the Inspector and the Contractor's representative, one copy being forwarded to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and one copy to the Contractor. All claims for Extra Work done on a Force Account basis shall be submitted each month to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, by the Contractor upon certified statements, or upon forms furnished by the Owner. Work performed prior to a written order by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will not be paid for.
3.7 PARTIAL PAYMENTS: The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will make an estimate once each month, as the Work progresses, of the value of the Work performed and materials completed and in-place or delivered to the site in accordance with the Contract. On request of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, the Contractor shall furnish a detailed estimate of the total Contract price showing the amount included therein for each category of Work, to provide a basis for determining the amount of progress payments. The market value of materials and equipment delivered to the construction site but not yet incorporated in the Work may, at the discretion of the Owner, be included with a progress payment. However, payment by the Owner for such materials and equipment shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for the care of such materials and equipment because the Owner shall not be deemed to have assumed ownership of the materials or equipment until these are incorporated into the completed and accepted Work. Such increases to progress payments, if authorized, are intended only to reduce the cost of doing business with the Owner. The Owner, when awarding a contract exceeding one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) for the construction, alteration, or repair of any highway, public building, public work, or public improvement, structure, or system, including real property as defined in section 24-30-1301 (15), shall authorize partial payments of the amount due under such contract at the end of each calendar month, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to the contractor, if the contractor is satisfactorily performing the contract. The Owner shall pay at least ninety-five percent of the calculated value of completed work. The withheld percentage of the contract price of any contracted work, improvement, or construction may be retained until the contract is completed satisfactorily and finally accepted by the Owner. Where the Contract price does not exceed such amount, from the total of the estimate so ascertained will be deducted an amount equivalent to five (5) percent of the whole, to be retained by the Owner until acceptance of the entire Contract, and the balance of the sum equivalent to ninety (90) percent of the whole shall be certified by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, for payment. In addition, Owner shall retain from all progress payments an amount equal to all statutory claims filed against Contractor. No partial payments except final payment will be made for a sum less than $l,000.00. The estimates will be approximate only, and all partial or monthly estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the estimate and payment rendered following discovery of an error in any previous estimates or payments. Should any defective Work or material be discovered, or should a reasonable doubt arise as to the integrity of any part of the Work completed previous to the final acceptance and payment, there will be deducted from the first payment rendered after the discovery of such Work an amount equal in value to the defective or questioned Work, and this Work will not be included in a subsequent estimate or payment until the defects have been remedied or the causes for doubt removed.
3.8 TAXES / DIRECT PURCHASE OPTION
3.8.1 Sales and Use Tax - Contractor shall only include sales and use tax levied by the City of Englewood and Arapahoe County on materials in its Schedules of Values, and Subcontractors and Suppliers shall only include such amounts in their Bids. The Owner will furnish to Contractor, on request by the Contractor, the necessary exemption certificates to aid the Contractor in the recovery or avoidance of any such taxes paid or otherwise due to be paid by Contractor for materials and equipment built into the Project, or to support the Contractor's failure to pay such taxes, as the case may be.
3.8.2 Tax Exemption - In accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes Sections 39-26-114 and 39-26-203, and the related regulation of the Department of Revenue, State of Colorado, the Contractor shall apply to the Department of Revenue, and secure prior to commencing the Project an exemption certificate, which when issued by the Department of Revenue will enable the Contractor to purchase for the Project all materials free of State Sales and Use Taxes and Regional Transportation District (RTD) Tax, provided that any building permit fee shall be included in any Proposal with respect to the Project. Further, if awarded the Project, no Englewood sales and/or use tax shall be included in any billing with respect to the Project. This provision shall apply to all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers. When Englewood sales tax is paid to licensed Englewood vendors for materials, which become part of the Project by a Contractor, the City of Englewood will refund that tax to the Contractor upon receipt of an application from the Contractor at the conclusion of the Project. Accompanying the application must be the material receipt(s) displaying a description of the items(s) purchased, date of purchase, amount of purchase, tax paid and any
Page 348 of 537
14
other documentation and information which may be required by the Owner to substantiate the payment and help validate a refund.
3.8.3 Direct Purchase Option - At Owner’s option, Contractor and Owner shall cooperate with one another so that Owner may purchase or contract directly for such items or Contractor and Owner shall make other appropriate arrangements as necessary to avoid incurring taxes, fees, and other costs. In such circumstances, Contractor shall act as agent for Owner in effecting such purchasing and contracting, Contractor shall have all the responsibilities as to such portions of the Work as Contractor otherwise has with respect to the Work. Contractor shall be responsible to expedite, arrange for and receive delivery of all such purchases, regardless of whether made by Contractor or Owner, and shall promptly examine deliveries to ascertain whether or not they comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Contractor shall promptly notify the Owner and Architect of any delay in the delivery of such purchases, any failure to receive such purchases as needed and any failure of such purchases to comply with the Contract Documents
3.8.4 Direct Supplier Payment - To the extent that Owner makes any payments directly to Suppliers, such payments shall be credited against the payments due from Owner to Contractor hereunder and shown, as incurred, on all Applications for Payment. Owner shall promptly notify Contractor and Architect, on serially numbered forms, of any amount paid directly for materials, any discounts obtained by Owner, and the amount of the credit due to Owner.
3.8.5 Tax Payment - The Contractor shall pay all sales and use taxes required to be paid, shall maintain such records in respect to his Work, which shall be separate and distinct from all other records maintained by the Contractor and shall be available for inspection by the Owner at any and all reasonable times, and shall furnish the Owner with such data, as may be necessary to enable the Owner to obtain any refunds of such taxes which may be available to the Owner under the laws, ordinances, rules or regulations applicable to such taxes. The Contractor shall require each of his Subcontractors to pay all sales and use taxes required to be paid and to maintain such records and furnish the Contractor with such data as may be necessary to enable the Owner to obtain a refund of the taxes paid by such subcontractors.
The Contractors or Subcontractors who purchase materials, which become part of the Project, from governmental entities, which do not honor the exemption and thereby pay sales tax will not be reimbursed for that tax payment by the City of Englewood. The Contractor shall bear the risk of any added or increased taxes occurring during the performance of the Work. A change in taxes shall under no circumstances entitle the Contractor to an adjustment under the Contract.
3.8.6 Discounts - All discounts for prompt payment obtained by Contractor shall accrue to Owner to the extent they apply to Costs of Work payable by Owner (whether paid directly or reimbursed to Contractor). To the extent that such discounts apply to costs paid by Contractor without reimbursement, such discounts shall accrue to Contractor. All trade discounts, rebates and refunds, and all returns from sale of surplus or salvage materials and equipment, shall accrue to the benefit of Owner, and the Contractor’s agreements with others shall provide for such credits to be applied either through credits from Subcontractors and Suppliers passed through to Owner by Contractor or by payment directly to Owner.
3.8.7 Adjustments - The Contract Sum may be adjusted by Agreed Change. Contractor is obligated to pay out of its own funds any overruns of the Contract Sum not approved by Agreed Change as provided in Article 6.
3.9 LIENS
3.9.1 Title - Nothing in this contract shall be construed as vesting in Contractor any right of property in any equipment, materials, supplies, and other items provided under this contract after they have been installed in, incorporated into, attached to, or affixed to, the work or the work site. All such equipment, materials, supplies, and other items shall, upon being so installed, incorporated, attached or affixed, become the property of Owner, but such title shall not release Contractor from its duty to insure and protect the Work in accordance with the requirements of this contract.
3.9.2 Waivers of Lien - Contractor shall, from time to time at Owner's request and in any event prior to final payment, furnish to Owner such receipts, releases, affidavits, certificates, and other evidence as may be necessary to establish, to the reasonable satisfaction of Owner, that no lien against the work or the public funds held by Owner exists in favor of any person whatsoever for or by reason of any equipment, material, supplies, or other item furnished, labor performed, or other thing done in connection with the work or this contract ("Lien") and that no right to file any Lien exists in favor of any person whatsoever.
3.9.3 Removal of Liens - If at any time any notice of any Lien is filed, then Contractor shall, promptly and without charge, discharge, remove, or otherwise dispose of such Lien. Until such discharge, removal, or
Page 349 of 537
15
disposition, Owner shall have the right to retain from any money payable hereunder an amount that Owner, in its sole judgment, deems necessary to satisfy such Lien and to pay the costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and administrative expenses, of any actions brought in connection therewith or by reason thereof.
3.9.4 Protection of Owner Only - This section shall not operate to relieve Contractor's surety or sureties from any of their obligations under the Bonds, nor shall it be deemed to vest any right, interest, or entitlement in any subcontractor or supplier. Owner's retention of funds pursuant to this section shall be deemed solely for the protection of its own interests pending removal of such Liens by Contractor, and Owner shall have no obligation to apply such funds to such removal but may, nevertheless, do so where Owner's interests would thereby be served.
3.10 DEDUCTIONS
3.10.1 Owner's Right to Withhold - Notwithstanding any other provision of this contract and without prejudice to any of Owner's other rights or remedies, Owner shall have the right at any time or times, whether before or after approval of any Pay Request, to deduct and withhold from any Progress or final payment that may be or become due under this contract such amount as may reasonably appear necessary to compensate Owner for any actual or prospective loss due to:
a) Work that is defective, damaged, flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming, or incomplete; b) Damage for which Contractor is liable under this contract; c) State or local sales, use, or excise taxes from which Owner is exempt; d) Liens or claims of Lien regardless of merit; e) Claims of subcontractors, suppliers, or other persons regardless of merit; f) Delay in the progress or completion of the work; g) Inability of Contractor to complete the work; h) Failure of Contractor to properly complete or document any Pay Request; i) Any other failure of Contractor to perform any of its obligations under this contract; or j) The cost to Owner, including attorneys' fees and administrative costs, of correcting any of the aforesaid matters or exercising any one or more of Owner's remedies set forth in Section 3.2 of this contract.
3.10.2 Use of Withheld Funds - Owner shall be entitled to retain any and all amounts withheld pursuant to subsection 7.12 above until Contractor shall have either performed the obligations in question or furnished security for such performance satisfactory to Owner. Owner shall be entitled to apply any money withheld or any other money due Contractor under this contract to reimburse itself for any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, suits, judgments, awards, attorneys' fees and administrative expenses incurred, suffered, or sustained by Owner and chargeable to Contractor under this contract.
Article 4. COMPLETION, TIME AND DELAYS IN CONSTRUCTION
4.1 DELAYS: No payment, compensation, damages, or adjustment of any kind, other than extension of the contract time if received in writing by Owner shall be made to, or claimed by, Contractor because of hindrances or delays from any cause in the commencement, prosecution, or completion of the work, whether caused by Owner or any other party and whether avoidable or unavoidable other than as set forth in a change order described fully above.
4.2 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE: Within the time specified in the Request for Bids, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner a proposed Construction Schedule using Primavera, MS Project or other comparable Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling software.
The Construction Schedule must include all Work activities to be performed under the Contract including any work to be performed by Subcontractors and must account for all Reasonably Predictable Weather Delays. All activities should be logically tied with a critical path clearly identified. The schedule must have sufficient detail to adequately plan and manage the Work. Contractual and key milestones are to be identified.
The Construction Schedule must include a brief narrative including: a) A description of the schedule critical path (series of tasks that define the overall project schedule); b) Identification of non-work days such as weekends or holidays; c) A table showing calculated Reasonably Predictable Weather Days (including drying days for each month); and d) List of assumptions used while developing the Construction Schedule.
Page 350 of 537
16
It will be presumed that the Contractor, at the time of Bid, took into account the number of days which might be unavailable for Work as a result of Reasonably Predictable Weather Delays during the Contract Time.
The Contractor shall calculate the average number of lost weather days for each month of the Construction Schedule as defined in section 4.12.4 below.
On a monthly basis with each pay application and as requested by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, the Contractor shall update the Construction Schedule and provide a summary report of progress on the various parts of the Work, including the status, rate of progress, estimated completion date, and cause of delay, if any. This report shall not constitute a request or approval for any change in the Contract Time.
Work shall normally not be done on Saturdays, Sundays, Owner observed holidays, or outside of the daytime working hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.), except for such work as may be necessary for proper care, maintenance, and protection of Work already done, or in cases when the Work would be endangered or when hazard to life or property would result.
No work shall be done on Sundays, holidays, or at night outside of usual daytime working hours, except in emergencies beyond the Contractor’s control, whereby the work would be endangered, or hazards to life or property would result. If the Contractor believes it may be necessary to work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or at night, the Contractor shall make prior arrangements with the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and receive written approval at least forty-eight (48) hours before such work period so that proper inspection and engineering services can be provided. Such approval may be revoked by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, if the Contractor fails to maintain adequate equipment and lighting at night for the proper prosecution, control and inspection of the Work. If Work is done outside of approved working hours, and the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, has not assigned Inspectors to the Work, the Work performed during those periods of time may be declared defective solely on the grounds that it was not properly inspected.
4.3 SUBCONTRACTING OR ASSIGNING OF CONTRACT: No Contractual relationship will be recognized under the Contract other than the Contractual relationship between the Owner and Contractor.
Contractor shall not, at any time, assign any interest in this Agreement or the other Contract Documents to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Owner specifically including, but without limitation, moneys that may become due and moneys that are due may not be assigned without such consent (except to the extent that the effect of this restriction may be limited by law). Any attempted assignment which is not in compliance with the terms hereof shall be null and void. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent to an Assignment, no Assignment will release or discharge the Assignor from any duty or responsibility under the Contract Documents.
4.4 COMMENCEMENT OF WORK: The Contractor agrees to undertake the performance of the work under this Contract within ten (10) days from being notified to commence work by the Director, and agrees to fully complete said work within the schedule designated in the contract plus such extension or extensions of time as may be granted by the Director in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents and Specifications.
The Contractor shall notify the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, at least 48 hours in advance of the time he intends to begin Work. The Contractor shall conduct Work in such a manner and with sufficient materials, equipment, and labor as is considered necessary to insure its completion within the time limit set forth in the Contract. Should the prosecution of Work for any reason be discontinued by the Contractor, with the consent of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, he shall notify the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, at least 48 hours in advance of resuming operations.
4.5 LIMITATION OF OPERATIONS: Each item of Work shall be performed to completion without delay and in no instance will the Contractor be permitted to transfer his force from uncompleted Work to new Work without the permission of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. The Contractor shall not open up Work to the prejudice of Work already started.
4.6 PROGRESS SCHEDULE: The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, for approval five (5) calendar days prior to the Preconstruction Conference, a practicable schedule, showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to carry on the Work, the date on which he will start the several salient features (including procurement of materials and equipment) and the contemplated dates for completing the same. The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of Work scheduled for completion at any time. The Contractor shall enter on the chart the actual progress at such intervals as directed by the Engineer or Project Manager, and shall immediately deliver three copies thereof. If the Contractor fails to submit a progress schedule within the time herein prescribed, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may withhold approval of progress payment estimates until such time as the Contractor submits the required
Page 351 of 537
17
progress schedule.
The Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with the latest approved progress Schedule. In the event that the progress of items along the critical path in the project schedule is delayed, the Contractor shall revise his planning to include additional forces, equipment, shifts or hours as necessary to meet the time or times of completion specified in this Contract. Additional costs resulting therefrom will be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor shall make such changes when his progress at any check period does not meet at least one of the following two tests: a. The percentage of dollar value of completed Work with respect to the total amount of the Contract is within ten percentage points of the percentage of the Contract time elapsed, or; b. The percentage of dollar value of completed Work is within ten percentage points of the dollar value which should have been performed according to the Contractors own network analysis previously approved by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager.
Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements under this Section will be grounds for determination that the Contractor is not performing the Work with such diligence as will ensure completion within the time of completion specified in this Contract. Upon such determination, the Owner may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the Work, or any separate part thereof, in accordance with the provisions contained herein. The Owner may extend the time periods reflected by subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, if those subparagraphs do not reasonably reflect upon the Contractor’s prosecution of the Work.
4.7 CHARACTER OF WORKMEN AND EQUIPMENT: The Contractor shall employ such superintendents, foremen, and workmen as are careful and competent, and the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may demand the dismissal of any person or persons employed by the Contractor in, about, or upon the Work who shall engage in acts of misconduct (as defined in the Federal Contractor Misconduct Database) or be incompetent or negligent in the proper performance of his or her duties, or neglects or refuses to comply with the directions given, and such person or persons shall not be employed again thereon without the written consent of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. Should the Contractor continue to employ, or again employ such person or persons, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may withhold all payments which are or may become due, or the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may suspend the Work until such orders are complied with.
In the employment of labor, preference shall be given, other conditions being equal, to residents of the area wherein the Work is being done, but no other preference or discrimination among citizens of the United States shall be made, except as may be required by special labor provisions. The Contractor shall furnish such equipment as is considered necessary for the prosecution of the Work in an acceptable manner and at a satisfactory rate of progress. All equipment, tools, and machinery used for handling materials and executing any part of the Work shall be maintained in a satisfactory working condition. Equipment used on any portion of the Work shall be such that no injury to the workers, roadways, adjacent property, or other objects will result from its use. The Contract may be terminated if the Contractor fails to provide adequate equipment for the Work.
4.8 SUSPENSION OF WORK: The Owner may suspend all or any part of the Work by written order signed by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, without invalidating the Contract, for such period or periods as it may deem necessary due to: a) Any reason for the convenience of the Owner, with or without cause, including but not limited to the availability of funding for the Project; b) An order from a state or federal court or administrative agency; or c) The Contractor’s failure to perform any provision of the Contract Documents.
Upon receipt from the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, of an order to suspend the Work, the Contractor shall, within three (3) days, submit a suspension plan to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, for acceptance. The plan shall describe how the Contractor will store all materials in a manner so that the materials will not become an obstruction or become damaged in any way, what cost effective methods it will employ to prevent damage to or deterioration of the Work and otherwise protect the Work, how suitable drainage will be provided, what temporary structures will be necessary, and how the Contractor will prepare for resuming the Work for the least possible remobilization cost. After the plan is accepted, the Contractor shall implement it in accordance with instructions received from the Project Engineer, or Project Manager.
Under no circumstance shall a suspension absolve the Contractor or the Contractor’s sureties of the duties and responsibilities guaranteed under the Bonds.
The Contractor shall again proceed with the Work when it is ordered to do so in writing by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager.
Upon the resumption of the Work for all suspensions not involving the Contractor’s failure to perform in accord with the Contract Documents, adjustment of Contract Time, if appropriate, will be made in accordance with these General Conditions. Adjustment of the Contract Price, if any, will be within the Owner’s sole discretion and shall not in any
Page 352 of 537
18
event, exceed the cost of the extra work resulting from such suspension. Such cost, if any, shall be determined in accordance with these General Conditions.
4.9 SUSPENSION OF WORK FOR OWNER’S CONVENIENCE: Upon decision to suspend the Work or any part of the Work for the Owner’s convenience, the order of suspension will extend the Contract Time for the number of days of such suspension if all Work is suspended. If the suspension applies to only a part of the Work, a time extension will not be authorized until the partial suspension has run and its effect on the entire Contract can be evaluated. In all cases of suspension for the Owner’s convenience, the costs to the Contractor will be determined in accordance with these General Conditions.
Upon order of such suspension, the Contractor shall immediately begin to perform in a manner designed to minimize the costs of protecting the Work and maintaining it in a condition which will permit its resumption for the least possible remobilization cost.
4.10 SUSPENSION OF WORK DUE TO ORDER OF CITY, COUNTY, STATE or FEDERAL COURT OR AGENCY: If the suspension of work is due to an order from a City, County, State or Federal court, the order of suspension will identify the court or agency order which caused the suspension and will extend the Contract by the amount of time specified by the court or agency order. If the order causes suspension for an indefinite period of time and as a result a time extension cannot be established, the order of suspension will also be for an indefinite period of time. If the order is issued because of acts or omissions of the Contractor, the Contractor shall not be entitled to a time extension or payment for any additional costs it incurs.
4.11 SUSPENSION OF WORK RESULTING FROM CONTRACTOR’S FAILURE TO PERFORM: If a suspension order results from the Contractor’s failure to satisfactorily perform any of the provisions of the Contract, including but not limited to faulty workmanship, safety concerns, improper or inadequate manpower, equipment, supplies or supervision, or failure to perform the Work in a timely manner, the order will identify the reason, or reasons, for the order. In this circumstance, no time extension will be authorized for the Contractor and any costs to the Contractor resulting from such suspension order will not be reimbursed by the Owner. A suspension order issued under these circumstances will remain in effect until the Contractor has removed or corrected the grounds for the suspension, if applicable, or the order requiring such suspension expires by its terms.
4.12 CONTRACT TIME: Work shall be fully completed in a satisfactory and acceptable manner by the Completion Date as modified by Change Orders that may extend the project schedule due to excusable delays.
4.12.1 Delays - Delay claims fall into three categories: non-excusable; excusable/non-compensable; and excusable/compensable. Any payment for compensable delays or the granting of time extensions for excusable delays requires a properly executed Change Order. The Contractor agrees that time extensions shall constitute full compensation for any excusable/non-compensable delay, and the Contractor shall make no claim for monetary damages relating to any non-excusable delay or any excusable/non- compensable delay.
4.12.2 Non-Excusable Delay - Non-excusable delay is caused by factors within the Contractor’s reasonable control or by the Contractor’s fault. No additional time or additional compensation is allowed for non- excusable delays. Typical non-excusable delays, without limitation, include: a) Late submittal of Shop Drawings; b) Late procurement of materials or equipment; c) Insufficient personnel; d) Unqualified personnel; e) Inadequate coordination of Subcontractors or other contractors; f) Subcontractor delays; g) Late response to Owner, Project Engineer, or Project Manager, or Inspector inquiries; h) Failure to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; i) Construction not conforming to contract requirements making repeated re-working necessary; j) Delays resulting from the Contractor’s failure to take reasonable actions to mitigate or prevent further delays relating to any excusable delay; k) Failure to continue performance during the determination of any Contractor Change Request or claim; and l) Weather delays exceeding the Reasonably Predictable Weather Days identified on the approved Construction Schedule, unless approved as unusually severe weather days.
4.12.3 Excusable Delay
a. Excusable/Non-compensable delay is caused by factors beyond the Contractor’s reasonable control, but is not the result of the Owner’s actions or omissions. An excusable/non-compensable delay entitles the Contractor to an extension of time but no additional compensation for the cost of the delay.
Page 353 of 537
19
Typical excusable/non-compensable delays, without limitation, include strikes, lockouts, natural fires not caused by Contractor’s acts or omissions, unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties, legal or administrative proceedings affecting the Work or the Project, and other causes beyond the Contractor’s control.
b. Excusable/Compensable delay is caused by the Owner’s failure to meet an obligation within its control stated or implied in the Contract, but shall not include any action, omission, or exercise of any right under the Contract. If the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, considers a delay as compensable, the Owner will grant a time extension or reimburse the Contractor for the increased total cost of performance caused by the delay, or both, as appropriate. Typical excusable/compensable delays, without limitation, include:
1) Late approval of Shop Drawings and samples; 2) Delays in answers to field inquiries made by the Contractor; 3) Interference with the Contractor during construction: 4) Owner-caused schedule changes; 5) Design changes; or
6) Interference by another contractor’s or the Owner’s personnel.
4.12.4 Weather Delay - In order for a Weather Delay to occur, the total lost weather days must exceed the total number of such days included in the contract time as specified in the Special Provisions for the project. The Weather Delay, if any, shall be the number of days of such excess; provided that no Weather Delay shall have occurred except to the extent that Work which needs to be performed during the period of time affected by adverse weather is actually delayed in a manner that delays the critical path to completion of the Work.
As used herein, a “lost weather day” shall mean a day during which actual adverse weather prevents work on activities that need to be performed on that day in accordance with the Project Schedule for fifty percent (50%) or more of Contractor’s scheduled Work for such day.
Contractor shall report to Owner no later than 10:30 a.m. Mountain Time on each day Contractor claims to be a lost weather day or (ii) if Work on the Project has commenced for such day, within one hour of Contractor’s decision to suspend Work because of such adverse weather. Such report shall state that Contractor considers that a lost weather day is occurring and shall describe the weather conditions experienced and how the weather conditions have affected the Scheduled Work for such day. Unless Contractor gives such timely notice as to any day when work is adversely affected by adverse weather, Contractor shall not be entitled to claim such day as a lost weather day.
4.12.5 Time Adjustments for Weather Delays - The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in his or her discretion, may deem weather-related delays as excusable/non-compensable if the net number of lost weather days in any month exceeds the number of Reasonably Predictable Weather Days for that month shown on the approved Construction Schedule. The Contractor must submit a weather time impact analysis supporting any request for time extensions due to unusually severe weather. If Contractor is delayed in the performance or progress of the Work by fire, flood, epidemic, abnormal weather conditions, acts of God, acts or failures to act of utility owners not under the control of Owner, or other causes not the fault of and beyond the control of Owner and Contractor, then Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in Contract Times, if such adjustment is essential to Contractor’s ability to complete the Work within the Contract Time. Such an adjustment shall be Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for the delays described in this Paragraph.
4.13 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: The Owner may permit the Contractor to proceed if the Contractor fails to advance the Work sufficiently to obtain a Notice of Substantial Completion on or before the Completion Date, as modified by Change Orders providing for additional time due to excusable delays. In such case, the Contractor will pay the sum of liquidated damages stipulated in the Special Conditions for each day that the Work remains uncompleted. This sum shall not be a penalty but is liquidated damages.
The Parties agree that time is of the essence in the performance of this Contract and that actual damages for delay are incapable of calculation. The Parties agree that, under all of the circumstances, the daily basis and the amount set forth as liquidated damages is reasonable and equitable. The Owner expends additional personnel effort in administrating the Contract or portions of it that are not completed on time, and such efforts and the costs thereof are impossible to accurately compute. In addition, some, if not all, citizens of the City of Englewood incur personal inconvenience and lose confidence in their government as a result of public projects or parts of them not being completed on time, and the impact and damages, certainly serious in monetary as well as other terms, are impossible to measure. Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the Work, or any part of it, after the Completion Date shall not operate as a waiver on the part of the Owner of liquidated damages or any of its rights under the Contract.
Page 354 of 537
20
The Owner may deduct liquidated damages or any portion thereof due under this article from Final Payment and may sue for and recover such damages from the Contractor and the Surety. The Owner and Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for delay, but not as a penalty, Contractor shall pay the Owner the amount specified in the table below for each day that expires after the time specified for substantial completion until the Work is complete, and for each day that expires after the time specified for final completion until the Work is finally complete.

In addition to liquidated damages, inspections required after the Contractual "Time of Completion" shall be charged to the Contractor at the rate of $50.00 per hour.
The Owner shall recover said inspection charges and liquidated damages by deducting the amount thereof out of any moneys which may be due or may become due to the Contractor, and/or by an action at law against the Contractor or his Surety. It is understood and agreed that aside from any other penalty or damage, all costs of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and inspection on behalf of the Owner may be charged to the Contractor and be deducted from any estimate or payment otherwise due and payable to him
4.14 ADJUSTMENT FOR SUSPENDED WORK: In the event the Contractor is ordered by the Owner, in writing, to suspend Work for some unforeseen cause not provided for in the Contract, and over which the Contractor has no control, the Contractor may be reimbursed for actual money expended on the job during the period of shutdown. No allowance will be made for lost profits. The period of shutdown shall be computed from the date set out in the written order for Work to cease until the date of the order for Work to resume. Claims for such compensation shall be filed with the Owner within 10 days after date of order to resume Work or such claims will not be considered. The Contractor shall submit with his claim, substantiating papers covering the entire amount shown on the claim. The Owner shall take the claim under consideration, and may make such investigations as are deemed necessary, and shall be the sole judge as to the equitability of such claim and such decision shall be final.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Contract to the contrary, no provision of this section shall be construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement weather, delays due to failure of Surety, for suspensions made at the request of the Contractor, or for any other delay provided for in the Contract Documents, Specifications, Special Provisions, Proposal, Contract, Change Order, Field Order or Supplemental Agreement.
4.15 TERMINATION OF CONTRACT: The Contract may be terminated by theOwner for cause or convenience.
Notwithstanding the below, the Contractor shall not be relieved of the liability to the Owner for damages sustained by the Owner by virtue of breach of the award by the Contractor and the Owner may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set off until such time as the exact amount of damages due the Owner from the Contractor is determined.
Owner reserves the right to take possession of any machinery, implements, tools, or materials of any description that shall be found upon the Work, to account for said equipment and materials, and to use the same to complete the Project. When the Work is thus finally completed, the total cost of the same will be computed. If the total cost is more than the Contract price, the difference shall be paid to the Owner either by the Contractor or his Surety. If the total cost is less than the Contract price, the difference will be paid by theOwner to the Contractor or his Surety. In case of termination all expenses incident to ascertaining and collecting losses under the bond, including Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and legal services, shall be assessed against the bond.
4.16 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: The Owner may terminate the Contract for cause due to the actions or inactions of the Contractor. Cause includes, without limitation:
a) If the Work to be performed under the Contract is assigned by the Contractor without written permission of the Owner;
b) Contractor's disregard of Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
c) Contractor's repeated disregard of the authority of the Project Engineer; ; d) If a general assignment of the Contractor’s assets is to be made for the benefit of its creditors;
e) If a receiver is appointed for the Contractor or any of its property;
Page 355 of 537

f) Substantial evidence of collusion for the purpose of illegally procuring a Contract or perpetrating fraud on the Owner in the construction of the Work under the Contract; g) If the Contractor has materially breached any of the conditions, provisions or covenants of the Contract; h) Failure of the Contractor to promptly repair, replace or remove any defects in materials or Work or any defects in materials or Work of any other nature, the correction of which has been directed in writing by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager; i) If, at any time, the performance of the Work under the Contract is being unnecessarily delayed or if the Contractor is willfully or deliberately violating any of the conditions, provisions, or covenants of the Contract Documents, or if the Contractor is executing the same in bad faith or otherwise not in accordance with terms of the Contract; j) Evidence that the progress being made by the Contractor is insufficient to complete the Work within the specified time; k) Failure of the Contractor to start the Work on the date given in the Notice to Proceed; l) If the Work or any part of the Work is not fully completed within the time or times named for its completion or within the time to which such completion date or dates have been extended; m) If the Contractor abandons the Work by failing to be at work site for two consecutive days, and performing work, on days upon which the schedule anticipates work to be performed; n) If the Contractor fails to maintain the required Bonds, licenses, permits, or insurance; o) Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Contractor, or if the Contractor shall allow any final judgment to stand against him unsatisfied for a period of ten (10) days or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. p) If the Contractor or any of its officers or employees are convicted, plead nolo contendere, enter into a formal agreement in which they admit guilt, enter a plea of guilty, or otherwise admit culpability to criminal offenses of bribery, kickbacks, collusive proposing, bid-rigging, antitrust, fraud, undue influence, theft, racketeering, extortion or any offense of a similar nature, in connection with Contractor’s business; or q) If other just cause exists.
4.16.1 Written Notice - The Owner will send written notice to the Contractor and the Surety of the Owner’s intent to terminate for cause and will give the Contractor and Surety ten (10) days from the date the notice was sent to cure the default, if such default is subject to cure, or provide to the Owner in writing, a detailed plan of how it will remove the causes for termination, except that, if the Completion Date is less than ten (10) days away, the notice may specify less than ten (10) days. If the Contractor or Surety does not submit such plan within the time established, or if, in the judgment of the Owner, such plan will not ensure the satisfactory performance of the Work, the Owner may declare the Contract terminated on the effective date specified in the notice or any other date thereafter.
4.16.2 Discontinue Work - In the event of termination for cause, the Owner shall notify the Contractor to discontinue all Work under the Contract and the Contractor shall immediately respect such notice, stop all Work and cease to have any right to possession of the Work site.
4.16.3 Contract Forfeiture - In addition, the Contractor shall forfeit its Contract as of the specified effective date of termination.
4.16.4 Possession of Materials and Equipment - Upon such termination for cause, the Owner may take possession of all materials, equipment, tools, and temporary material manufacturing plants as may be on the site of the Work or necessary for completion of the Work and take over the Work and prosecute the same to completion, by Contract or otherwise, for the account and at the expense of the Contractor.
4.16.5 Cost Liability - If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph 4.16, Contractor shall not be entitled to
receive any further payment until the Work is completed. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price
exceeds all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
sustained by Owner arising out of or relating to completing the Work, such excess will be paid to Contractor.
If such claims, costs, losses, and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor (and/or its surety) shall
pay the difference to Owner. Such claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed
by the Project Engineer as to their reasonableness and, when so approved by the Project Engineer,
incorporated in a Change Order. When exercising any rights or remedies under this Paragraph, Owner shall
not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.

Such machinery and equipment shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local safety requirements and be in good working condition, adequate for the task, and in the numbers needed to maintain a rate of progress sufficient to complete the Work within the Contract Time and milestones. Whenever an operation is undertaken which must be accomplished without any slowdown or stoppage, or to avoid an inferior product, the Contractor shall provide standby equipment capability so that an equipment breakdown does not disrupt that activity.
The Contractor shall give the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, three (3) copies of all shop manuals, operating manuals, parts lists, classifications, catalog cuts, specifications, warranties and guarantees for all equipment and machinery installed.
Consideration of a product as an “equal” or “superior” by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may require that the manufacturer of such product furnish guarantees that extend beyond the usual product warranty time. The refusal of a manufacturer to provide such guarantees is sufficient reason for rejecting the product.
The Contractor shall not incorporate any materials into the Project or cover any part of the Work until it has been inspected and approved according to the Contract Documents. Machinery, equipment, materials, and articles installed or used without the Project Engineer, or Project Manager’s approval are at the risk of subsequent rejection.
The Contractor shall be responsible for materials delivered and Work performed until completion and final acceptance of the entire construction thereof.
The Contractor shall bear the risk of injury, loss or damage to any and all parts of the Work for whatever cause, whether arising from the execution or from the non-execution of Work. The Contractor shall rebuild, repair or restore Work and materials which have been damaged or destroyed from any causes before completion and acceptance of the Work and shall bear the expense thereof. The Contractor shall provide security and drainage and erect temporary structures as necessary to protect the Work and materials from damage.
The Contractor shall be responsible for materials not delivered to the site for which any progress payment has been made to the same extent as if the materials were so delivered.
5.15 SUBSTITUTION OF MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT: After the award of the Contract, the Contractor may ask for substitution of specified material or equipment with equal or equivalent, or superior items only under the
Page 362 of 537
28
following circumstances: (i) The Contractor provides evidence to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, that, in the Project Engineer, or Project Manager’s sole opinion, establishes that an item of specified material is not available; (ii) the Contractor provides evidence to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, that, in the Project Engineer, or Project Manager’s sole opinion, establishes that the specified item will have an unreasonable delivery time due to no fault of the Contractor; or (iii) acceptance of such substitution would result in a significant saving to the Owner without materially impairing the quality or performance of the Work. If any of these circumstances exist, the Contractor shall request approval for a substitution at least thirty (30) days before the material or equipment must be ordered.
All requests for substitutions shall be made in writing as part of a submittal. The request shall describe all features of the requested substitution including any tie-in with other elements of the Work, including utilities and controls along with the size and capacity of substitute materials or equipment. The request must be submitted on a form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and shall list all differences from the product described in the Specifications, include the price of the specified item and the requested substitution, and describe any advantages or disadvantages of the proposed substitution. The Contractor shall be responsible for any effect upon related Work in the Project of any substitution and shall pay any additional cost resulting from or relating to any substitution.
If the “equal or equivalent” material or equipment costs less than that specified, the Contractor shall so state in its request for substitution and, if the Owner accepts the proposed substitution, it may issue a Change Order to reduce the Contract Price by the amount of the direct cost savings without markup to the Contractor.
If the equal or equivalent material or equipment is accepted for unavailability or unreasonable delivery time due to no fault of the Contractor, the Owner may, if appropriate, issue a Change Order to increase the Contract Price by the resulting actual, direct cost increase, if any, to the Contractor, without markup.
5.16 CUTTING AND PATCHING: The Contractor shall be responsible for all cutting, fitting, or patching that may be required to complete the Work, to make its several parts fit together properly or to tie the Work into other work that is shown in the Contract Documents.
The Contractor shall organize and plan the Work to reduce to a minimum the need for cutting or otherwise modifying or removing load-bearing structural elements to accommodate the installation of other elements of the Work. If two or more contractors are doing work in the same place, the Contractor shall be responsible for the coordination effort needed to avoid or to reduce the amount of cutting, modifying or removing of structural elements to accomplish such work. However, if modification or removal of structural elements is required because the Work could not be organized and planned to avoid that need, the Contractor shall inform the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, of the need so that the consequences of such modification or removal of structural elements can be assessed. No structural element shall be cut, drilled, bored or otherwise modified unless cutting, drilling, boring or other modification is indicated in the Contract Documents.
If the Contractor needs to modify a structural element from its original design, the Contractor must submit to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, a request to make the modification. The request must provide complete details including all necessary calculations performed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado to show that the structural elements can still function as originally designed. The request must be accepted by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, before any modification is made.
The Contractor shall be responsible for all repair, replacement, and patching that is necessary to restore the Work, other property, or work of others damaged by the Contractor or Subcontractor.
5.17 SAMPLES AND TESTING: All materials and equipment used in the Project will be subject to sampling and testing by an independent testing company acceptable to the Owner according to generally accepted standards and as required in the Contract Documents. In the absence of direct references, the sampling and testing of materials will be done according to current specifications of the ASTM or the AWWA.
The Contractor shall furnish all samples without charge. The Contractor will cooperate with the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in collecting, handling, storing, and forwarding required samples including the furnishing of manpower and equipment when necessary. The Contractor will pay the cost of the initial test except when the Contract states otherwise. The Contractor will pay the costs for repeated tests due to failure of the initial test. The costs of any testing and retesting may be deducted from any payment due to the Contractor under the Contract.
The Contractor will provide the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice for any inspection involving testing or sampling.
The Contractor shall be responsible for testing of concrete and soils and, unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall perform testing of all other materials and equipment. The Contractor shall provide the Project Engineer, or
Page 363 of 537
29
Project Manager, with satisfactory proof of compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents of any materials or equipment tested. Satisfactory proof of compliance shall be submitted in one or more of the following ways:
a) Manufacturer’s Certificate of Compliance. For standard labeled stock products of standard manufacture that have a record of satisfactory performance in similar work over a period of not less than two (2) years, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may accept a notarized statement from the manufacturer certifying that the product conforms to the applicable specifications. b) Mill Certificates. For materials where such practice is the usual standard, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may accept the manufacturer’s certified mill and laboratory certificate. c) Testing Laboratory Certificates. The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may accept a certificate from an independent commercial testing laboratory satisfactory certifying that the product has been tested within a period acceptable to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and that it conforms to the requirements of the Plans and Specifications. d) Report of Actual Laboratory Test. The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may require that Contractor make actual tests of any product and submit a report of the specified test. Such test shall be made by a commercial testing laboratory satisfactory to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, at the Contractor’s sole expense.
5.18 PROPERTY RIGHTS IN MATERIALS: The Contractor shall have no property right in materials after they have been attached, affixed or incorporated in the Work or the soil, or after payment has been made by the Owner to the Contractor for materials delivered to the site of the Work or stored subject to or under the control of Owner.
Article 6. CHANGES IN THE WORK
6.1 CHANGES AND INCREASED OR DECREASED QUANTITIES OFWORK
6.1.1 General - The Contractor shall perform the Work, as changed by any Change Order, as if originally specified. All changes shall be accomplished by either a written Change Order or a written Field Order issued in accordance with these General Conditions. If a Field Order is used, a Change Order will be executed when the terms of the change are agreed upon.
Changes to the Contract Price and Contract Time are authorized only by Change Orders approved in conformance with the Owner’s adopted purchasing policies.
Without invalidating the Contract, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and/or Owner reserves and shall have the right, without notice to any Sureties, by written Change Order, to make any changes, from time to time, to the character and quantity of the Work, including but not limited to, the Drawings, Specifications, Plans or Addenda, as may be considered necessary or desirable to complete fullyand acceptably the proposed Contract in a satisfactory manner. Such Change Order shall set forth with specificity the changed Work to be done and shall set forth any changes or extensions to the time of completion.
The total of all such Change Orders associated with a project shall not, whether for additional work or items for use upon/within the project, increase the total cost of the Contract, based on the original estimate of quantities and unit prices contained in the Proposal, by more than 10%. Contractor shall be entitled to the cost of said increased units at theoriginal Proposal price, but not to an adjustment of unit price.
In the event the total cost of all such Change Orders associated with a project increases the total cost of the Contract by more than 10%, an equitable adjustment will be made and the Contract modified accordingly by a written Supplemental Agreement, provided, however, that except for claims based on errors in the Contract, no claim for change hereunder will be allowed for costs incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor gives written notice as herein required; and in the case of errors in the Contract for which the Owner is responsible, the adjustment will be increased costs, reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempting to comply with such errors in the Contract
Any plan of action, method of work, or construction procedure suggested orally or in writing to the Contractor by any employee, agent or representative of the Owner, which is not set out in approved Change Orders or Field Orders issued in accordance with the Contract Documents, if adopted or followed by the Contractor in whole or in part, shall be performed at the Contractor’s sole risk and responsibility.
No change order, or other form of order or directive by the Owner’s representative which requires additional compensable work to be performed, and which work causes the aggregate amount payable under this contract to exceed the amount appropriated for the original contract, shall be executed, or shall work be performed by the contractor, unless the Owner first gives written notice to the Contractor that lawful appropriations to cover the costs of such additional work have been made or unless such work is covered
Page 364 of 537
30
under a remedy-granting provision of this contract. For purposes of thisparagraph,"remedy-granting provision" shall be defined as set forth in 24-91-103.6(4), C.R.S.
The Contractor shall not start Work on any alteration requiring a Supplemental Agreement until the Agreement setting forth the adjusted prices has been executed by the Owner and the Contractor. All changes or approvals for increasing the Work as required and authorized herein, shall be in written form and approved and signed by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, prior to the Work being done. All such writings and approvals shall be specific as to the nature of the Work and the quantities involved. Any Work performed without prior written approval of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall not be binding on the Owner.
The Contractor may not treat any order, statement or conduct of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, as a change under this article nor become entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time except as provided in this article.
Claims for changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time of Performance will not be considered after the Final Payment has been made.
Change Orders involving an increase in the Contract Price must be authorized in accordance with the City’s adopted purchasing policy, a copy of which is available upon request. Such purchasing policy provides that the total of all such Change Orders associated with a project that increases the total cost of the Contract by more than 10% must be approved by a supplemental agreement.
6.1.2 Owner Change Request - The Owner may, without notification to any Surety, require the Contractor to perform additive or deductive changes to the Work within the general scope of the Project without invalidating the Contract or any Bond.
When the Owner desires to initiate a change, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will issue a change request informing the Contractor of the proposed change in the Work, and requesting the Contractor’s detailed price proposal for such change. The Contractor, at no expense to the Owner and within the time period specified in the Change Request, shall provide the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, with a complete and itemized proposal for the change in the Work, which shall include the estimated increase or decrease in the Contract Price or Contract Time. Such increase or decrease shall be based on the criteria and methods described in these General Conditions. The Contractor shall be responsible for any delays in the Work and any additional costs to the Owner caused by the Contractor’s failure to submit a complete price proposal within the time provided. The Contractor shall participate with the Owner in prompt joint analysis and negotiations to finalize a Change Order. The issuance of a Change Request by the Owner is not a prerequisite to the issuance of a Field Order.
6.1.3 Field Orders - The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may make changes in the details of the Project at any time, by issuing a Field Order. Upon receipt of a Field Order, the Contractor shall promptly sign the Field Order and return it to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and shall promptly proceed with performing the change in the Work. The Field Order shall not involve an increase or decrease in the Contract amount and not involve a change inthetime for completion.
A Field Order may be used when:
a) The Owner determines that the Contractor must proceed immediately to perform a change in the Work in order to avoid an adverse impact on the schedule or other work, or to avoid or correct a situation where the health or safety of persons may be affected, and sufficient time is not available to negotiate a Change Order; or b) The Owner and Contractor have not completed their negotiation and reached agreement on all of the terms of a Change Order, but the Owner requires the Contractor to proceed without such agreement.
If the Contractor believes that such Field Order entitles it to a change in Contract Price or Contract Time, or both, the Contractor shall give the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, written notice within five (5) days after the receipt of the Field Order. Within twenty (20) days after receiving the Field Order, the Contractor shall provide the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, with a complete and itemized proposal that includes the estimated increase or decrease in the Contract Price or Contract Time, or both, attributable to the changes based on the criteria and methods described in these General Conditions. The Contractor shall be responsible for delays to the Work and any additional costs incurred by the Owner caused by its failure to submit complete pricing information within the time provided above.
a) If the maximum cost of the change in the Work to be performed under a Field Order has not been agreed upon and reduced to writing in the actual Field Order, or if such change is not
Page 365 of 537
31
fully described under a Unit Price set forth in the Contract Documents or the Field Order, the Contractor shall proceed with such Work on a time and materials basis. b) Whenever Work is performed on a time and materials basis, the Contractor shall fully document all costs associated with such Work. Beginning with the first day such Work is performed and on a daily basis thereafter, the Contractor shall submit to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, a daily itemization of all such costs in such form as the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may require. c) The final Contract adjustment for Field Order changes in the Work performed on a time and materials basis shall be calculated in accordance with these General Conditions.
When the Owner and the Contractor reach agreement on an adjustment to the Contract Price or Contract Time, or both as appropriate, such agreement shall be promptly executed as a Change Order. If the Owner requires Contractor to perform additional compensable work under a Field Order prior to executing a Change Order, the Contractor shall submit its costs to perform the work as periodically completed in its monthly application for payment, and Owner shall reimburse such costs, subject to retainage and any applicable withholding. In no instance shall the Owner be required to periodically reimburse Contractor for such additional compensable work prior to Contractor submitting to Owner an estimate of the cost of the additional compensable work to be performed.
6.1.4 Contractor Change Requests - If the Contractor: (i) receives any instructions, interpretations or directives which it believes are at variance with the Contract Documents or would require the Contractor to accelerate or decelerate the Work; or (ii) identifies what it believes are errors or omissions of any kind, including design errors or omissions, in the Drawings or Specifications; or (iii) encounters a differing site condition; or (iv) is delayed in performing the Work; or (v) becomes aware of any other matter or circumstance that the Contractor believes might require a change in the Contract Documents, Contract Time, or Contract Price, the Contractor shall give the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, prompt written notice of such matter and request a Change Order in a document identified as a “Contractor Change Request.”
Following submission of a Contractor Change Request, the Contractor shall diligently continue performance of the Contract to the maximum extent possible.
All Contractor Change Requests shall be dated, numbered sequentially, and shall describe the action or event that the Contractor believes may require the issuance of a Change Order. The Contractor shall also provide a description of possible Contractor actions or solutions to minimize the cost of the Contractor Change Request and, when possible, provide an estimate of the adjustment in the Contract Time and Contract Price which the Contractor believes is appropriate.
a) With respect to orders, instructions, directives, interpretations, determinations, or the discovery of any errors or omissions in the Contract Documents, a Contractor Change Request shall be submitted before the Contractor acts on them, but in no event more than five (5) days after they have been, or reasonably should have been, received or discovered. b) With respect to any differing site conditions, a Contractor Change Request shall be submitted before the conditions are disturbed, but in no event more than five (5) days after the conditions are first discovered or reasonably should have first been discovered. c) With respect to delays, as set out in these General Conditions, a Contractor Change Request shall be submitted as soon as the Contractor becomes aware, or reasonably should have become aware, of the delay, but in no event more than five (5) days therefrom. d) With respect to any other matter or circumstance that the Contractor believes would require a change, a Contractor Change Request shall be submitted as soon as the Contractor reasonably has knowledge of the matter or circumstance, but in no event more than five (5) days after the Contractor becomes aware, or reasonably should have become aware, of such circumstance or matter.
6.1.5 Submittal Requirements and Waiver of Claims
a) If the Contractor does not submit a Contractor Change Request within the time required by these General Conditions, any action by the Contractor related to such order, direction, instruction, interpretation, determination, design error or omission, or other matter, including delays or differing site conditions, will not be considered by the Owner as a change to the Work and the Contractor waives any claim for an adjustment on the Contract Price or the Contract Time. b) The Contractor shall, within ten (10) days after submitting a Contractor Change Request, provide the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, with a complete and itemized proposal that sets out as specifically as practicable the requested adjustments to Contract Price, Contract
Page 366 of 537
32
Time, or other Contract provisions, and contains the other information described in these General Conditions.
c) The proposal shall also contain a detailed explanation, citing all applicable provisions in the Contract Documents that support the Contractor Change Request. If the Contractor does not submit its itemized proposal for a Change Order within the time described above or within such extension that the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in his or her discretion may have granted in writing, the Contractor waives any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time arising out of the act or event giving rise to or necessitating a Contractor Change Request. d) The Contractor shall furnish, upon request, all additional information and data that the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, determines is needed to assist the Owner in evaluating and resolving the Contractor Change Request through negotiation. The Contractor shall give the Owner access to its books, correspondence, records, electronic data bases and files, and other materials relating to the work described in the Contractor Change Request, shall require its Subcontractors and Suppliers to provide the Owner with such access, and shall make its personnel and that of its Subcontractors and Suppliers available to discuss and answer cost, schedule, and other questions related to such request. Clear and legible copies of all necessary supporting records shall be provided to the Owner at no cost. Failure to submit requested information may be a basis for denial of the request. e) In the event the Contractor is ordered to perform Work under this Section for which payments are not determined hereunder, which in the opinion of the Owner it is impracticable to have performed by the Contractor's own employees, the Contractor will, subject to the approval of the Owner, be paid the actual cost to him of such Work and, in addition thereto, an amount of ten (10) percent of the actual costs to cover the Contractor’s superintendence, administration and other overhead expenses. The terms and conditions of any subcontract which the Contractor may propose to enter into in connection with Work under the provisions of this Section, shall be subject to the written approval of the Owner before such subcontract is made. f) In cases other than those described above, the Owner and the Contractor (on his own behalf and on behalf of their Subcontractors) shall endeavor to negotiate a reasonable Contract price and line adjustment in a Change Order on terms appropriate to the changed Work. The Contractor will be required to submit a sufficiently detailed price proposal supported with sufficient documentation so that the Owner can determine that (1) the proposal reflects all impacts on the Contract from Work additions, deletions and modifications shown in the change order being priced, and (2) the proposed prices are set out in such a way that their reasonableness can be evaluated against prices based on adequate price competition, Proposal unit prices, established catalog or market prices of commercial items sold in substantial quantities to the general public, prices set by law or regulation, recognized published price lists and indices, independently developed cost estimate and other appropriate price comparisons and (3) Contract provisions relating to Contract changes costing over $100,000.00 are complied with. If any prices or other aspects are conditional, such as on firm orders being made by a certain date or the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, the Contractor shall identify these aspects in his Proposal. A negotiated Change Order shall set out prices, scheduling requirements, time extensions and all costs of any nature arising out of the issuance of a Change Order except for those cost and time aspects explicitly reserved on the face of the Change Order. g) In the event the Contractor and the Owner are unable to agree upon the Contractor's entitlement to an equitable adjustment or upon the amount thereof, or in the event that it is in the best interest of the Owner to have the Work proceed pending negotiation of amount of an equitable adjustment, the Owner may direct the Contractor to perform the Work in accordance with the Change Order, direction, instruction, interpretation, or determination, with any Contract price adjustments and progress payments for the Work to be determined on a Force Account basis in accordance with Section 1.5. The Contractor shall continue diligently to perform the Contract in accordance with the Owner's order, direction, instruction, interpretation, or determination during negotiations with respect to the Contractor's entitlement to an equitable adjustment hereunder or to the amount of any Contract price adjustment hereunder or to the amount or any Contract price adjustment or time extension. The Contractor and the Owner may agree on certain aspects of an equitable adjustment and take those aspects out of operation of Force Account provisions. h) For Change Orders, the Owner, or its representative shall have the audit and inspection rights as described below:
• Where the agreed payment method for any Contract changes is to be by cost reimbursement, time and material, labor, hours, or any combination thereof, the Contractor shall maintain and the Owner or its representatives shall have the right to
Page 367 of 537
33
examine books, records, documents and other evidence and accounting principles and practices sufficient to reflect properly all direct and indirect costs of whatever nature claimed to have been incurred and anticipated to be incurred for the performance of the Contract changes under this Subsection.
• Contract changes exceeding $100,000.00 in costs: For submitted cost and pricing data in connection with pricing a Contract modification referred to in this Subsection, unless such pricing is based on Proposal unit prices, adequate price competition, established catalog or market prices of commercial items sold in substantial quantities to the public, or prices set by law or regulation, the Owner or his representatives shall have the right to examine all books, records, documents and other data of the Contractor related to the negotiation of or performance under the Contract Change Orders for the purpose of evaluating the accuracy, completeness and currency of the cost or pricing data submitted. The right of examination shall extend to all documents necessary to permit adequate evaluation of the cost or pricing data submitted, along with the computations and projections used therein. • Contract changes exceeding $10,000.00 but not $100,000.00 in costs: The Owner or his representatives prior to the execution of any Contract Change order in this Subsection or for a period of twelve months after execution shall, unless such pricing is based on Proposal unit prices, adequate price competition, established catalog of market prices of commercial items sold in substantial quantities to the public, or prices set by law or regulation, have the right to examine all books, records, documents, and other data of the Contractor relating to the negotiation and Contract Change Order for the purpose of evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and currency of the data submitted upon which negotiation is or has been based. To the extent the examination reveals inaccurate, incomplete or non-current data, the Contracting Officer may renegotiate the Contract Change Order price based on such data.
• Contract changes of less than $10,000.00 in costs: The Owner may require from the Contractor appropriate documentation to support the prices being negotiated for Contract changes under this Subsection, and may refuse to complete negotiation until satisfactory documentation is submitted.
i) For the purpose of this Section, costs shall include fines which would be assessed if extension(s) of time were not granted by Contract Change Order.
j) The requirements of this audits and records section are in addition to other audit, inspection and record keeping provisions elsewhere in the Contract documents.
k) Changes involving aggregate increases and decreases in excess of $100,000.00 shall be subject to the following:
• A change involves aggregate increases and decreases in excess of $100,000.00 if the total value of Work affected, without regard to any increases or decreases, exceeds this amount; for example, a Change Order adding Work in the amount of $75,000.00 and deleting Work in the amount of $50,000.00 will be considered to involve aggregate increases and decreases of $125,000.00. • The Contractor shall submit in support of all items not based upon unit prices or lump sum prices contained in the Contract or upon the established prices at which commercial items are sold in substantial quantities to the public, statements by his vendors that the prices charged the Contractor are not greater than the prices charged by the respective vendors to their most favored customers for the same items in similar quantities. • Price reductions for defective cost or pricing data--price adjustments: If any price, including profit and fee, negotiated in connection with any price adjustment was increased by any significant sums because:
(1) The Contractor furnished cost or pricing data which were not complete, accurate, and current as certified in the contractor's certificate of current cost or pricing data; or (2) Adjustments or any subcontract provisions therein required, furnished costs or pricing data which were not complete, accurate, and current as certified in the Subcontractor's certificate of current cost or pricing data; or (3) The Subcontractor or his prospective subcontractor furnished cost or pricing data which were required to be complete, accurate, and current and to be submitted to support a subcontract cost estimate furnished by the Contractor but which were not complete, accurate and current; or (4) The Contractor or a Subcontractor or his prospective subcontractor furnished any data, which were not complete, accurate, and current as submitted;
Page 368 of 537
34
(5) Then the price shall be reduced accordingly and the Contract shall be modified in writing accordingly to reflect such reduction. Any reduction in the Contract price due to defective subcontract data of prospective subcontractor, when the subcontract was not subsequently awarded to such subcontractor, will be limited to the amount (plus applicable overhead and profit markup) by which the actual subcontract, was less than the prospective subcontract cost estimate submitted by the Contractor, provided the actual subcontract price was not affected by defective cost or pricing data; or (6) The Contractor shall require Subcontractors to certify to the best of their knowledge and belief that the cost and pricing data submitted are accurate, complete, and current as of the date of execution, which date shall be as close as possible to the date of agreement on the negotiated price of the Contract Change Order.
l) In case a satisfactory adjustment in price cannot be reached for any item requiring a Supplemental Agreement, the Owner reserves the right to terminate the Contract as to said item as it applies to the terms in question and make such arrangements as may be deemed necessary to complete the Work. Should any of the changes, not requiring Supplemental Agreements, be made as provided herein, the Contractor shall perform the Work as altered, increased or decreased at the Contract unit price or prices.
6.1.6 Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions - If conditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than seven (7) days after first observance of the conditions. Site conditions which an experienced and prudent contractor could have anticipated by visiting the site, familiarizing himself with the local conditions under which the work is to be performed and correlating his observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents shall not be considered as claims for concealed or unknown conditions, nor shall the locations of utilities which differ from locations provided by the utility companies. The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or the required time for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall so notify the Owner and Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by either party in opposition to such determination must be made within twenty-one (21) days after the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, has given notice of the decision. If the Owner and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the adjustment shall be subject to further proceedings pursuant to Section 1.3.8 and Section 1.3.10. Such sections shall apply to claims by either party, notwithstanding language in said sections that they apply only to claims brought by the Contractor.
6.1.7 Specific Provisions for Delay-Based Contractor Change Requests - If the Contractor Change Request is based in whole or in part on a delay of any kind or nature, the complete itemized proposal shall include the following information in addition to all other required information:
a) The date, nature, and circumstances of each event regarded as a cause of the delay; b) The names of all individuals acting on behalf of the Owner who are known or believed by the Contractor to have direct knowledge of the delay; c) If the Contractor claims acceleration costs of scheduled performance or delivery, the basis upon which acceleration arose; d) The identification of any documents and the substance of any oral communications known to the Contractor which substantiate, refute, or concern such delay; e) A Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule corrected to reflect actual performance, showing delay impacts as separate tasks and Contractor’s mitigation of such impacts; and f) The specific elements of Contract performance for which the Contractor may seek an equitable adjustment, including:
1) Identification of each Contract or schedule line item that has been or may be affected by such delay; 2) To the extent practicable, identification of the delay and disruption in the manner and sequence of performance, and the effect on continued performance, that have been or
Page 369 of 537
35
may be caused by such delay; 3) Identification of labor, materials, or both, or other cost items including overhead and Subcontractor costs, that have been or may be added, deleted, or wasted by such delay; 4) A statement that the Contractor is maintaining records by some generally accepted accounting procedure that allows the separately identifiable direct costs due to the delay, and those not incurred as a result of the delay, to be readily identified and segregated; 5) Estimates of the necessary adjustments to Contract Price, Contract Time and any other Contract provisions affected by the delay.
6.1.8 Determination by Project Engineer, or Project Manager.
a) The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall respond in writing to any timely Contractor Change Request within ten (10) days of receipt of the complete and itemized proposal in support of the request. Failure of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, to respond within such time period shall be deemed a denial of the Contractor Change Request unless the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, notifies the Contractor that additional time is necessary to review the Contractor Change Request. b) If a Contractor Change Request is denied by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in whole or in part, any claim for an increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time arising out of the act or event described in the Contractor Change Request is waived unless the Contractor timely submits a protest or dispute in accordance with these General Conditions.
6.2 ADJUSTMENT TO CONTRACT PRICE
6.2.1 Contract Price Adjustments - All adjustments to the Contract Price shall be determined by using one or more of the following methods in descending order:
a) Unit Prices (as stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon) multiplied by final verified quantities of work performed and subject to the requirements of paragraph 10.7 below. b) A negotiated lump sum. If requested by the Owner, the Contractor shall promptly provide itemized and sufficient substantiating data, including calculations, measurements, cost records, production rates, equipment types and capacity, labor costs by craft and other information that the Owner may reasonably require the Contractor to produce in order to permit the Owner to evaluate any lump sum Contractor Change Request. In pricing such Bids, the Contractor shall include estimates of the type of costs described in this article. c) Costs as determined in a manner previously agreed upon by the Parties, which include markups that do not exceed those described in this article. d) Time and Material costs as determined in the manner described in this article. These amounts may be reduced where necessary to take into account the cost of base Work, Work included in approved Change Orders, Work described in other Field Orders, idle time for workers and/or equipment when Work could have been performed in other locations or when the number of workers or amount of equipment provided exceeded the number or amount required to perform the Work, unsatisfactory Work, or Work that may be or was performed concurrently with the changed Work and which cannot be easily segregated from the changed Work.
6.2.2 Calculation of the Contract Adjustment - In no event shall the charge or credit to the Owner associated with any change exceed the sum of the following:
a) Direct Labor. The actual net, direct increase or decrease in the cost of the Contractor’s labor. Such cost shall include only the cost associated with the workers who actually perform the changed Work. The cost of supervision, management and field or office overhead shall not be included or calculated as a direct labor cost. For shop work, the direct labor cost shall include only those workers who work directly on the item being manufactured or the actual operators of the equipment being used to handle the items being manufactured. b) Labor Burden. Contractor’s actual costs for worker’s compensation and liability insurance, payroll taxes, social security and employees’ fringe benefits (including employer paid health insurance) imposed on the basis of payrolls, and any other benefits provided to employees (including under any applicable collective bargaining agreement). This burden must reflect the variability of some burdens, i.e., social security. The burden shall be itemized and include all small tools and miscellaneous supplies. The total labor burden for such small tools shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the Direct Labor cost. c) Direct Material, Supplies, Installed Equipment. The actual net, direct cost of materials, supplies and equipment incorporated into or consumed by the Work. If actual costs are not available, this cost shall be the lowest commercially available price including all discounts, rebates, shipping and restocking charges, and applicable taxes. Such cost shall be based on buying the
Page 370 of 537
36
material, supplies and equipment in the largest practical quantity to receive quantity discounts. d) Equipment Costs. Without markup or operator, the lesser of (i) the actual net cost to the Contractor of owned or rented equipment, other than small tools; or (ii) the rental rate for such equipment as determined by using the following method(s):
• Equipment rental rates listed in the appropriate rental rate book currently in use by CDOT. If an item of equipment does not appear in the rental rate book currently in use by CDOT, the rental rates published by the Associated Equipment Dealers may be used as a basis for negotiating a rental rate for a particular piece of equipment. The Contractor shall provide all information necessary to determine the appropriate rental rate at the time the equipment is brought on the job. • Rental equipment costs shall be determined using actual invoiced rates, less all discounts for basic equipment rental. • Mobilization/demobilization costs will be paid if the equipment is mobilized for Work described in a Change Order and is not otherwise to be mobilized or demobilized for the Work at the time. If the equipment is also used on Base Contract Work, no mobilization or demobilization cost will be paid. Mobilization/demobilization costs will be based on using the least expensive means to mobilize or demobilize. Equipment shall be obtained from the nearest available source. When the least expensive methods are used, the costs shown in the actual invoice will be the basis for pricing.
e) Mark Up for Overhead and Profit. The Contractor or Subcontractor of any tier who actually performs the Work shall be entitled to a reasonable markup of no more than ten percent (10%) on the actual costs for Direct Labor, Labor Burden, Direct Material, Supplies, Installed Equipment, and Equipment Costs, as described in this article. Bonds and insurance are compensated at direct cost without markup. f) Bonds, Insurance, Permits and Taxes. The actual increases or decreases in the cost of premiums for bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to the Work.
6.2.3 Totals as Equitable Adjustment - The Contractor agrees that the total of the above items constitute an equitable adjustment for any and all costs or damages resulting from a change.
6.2.4 No Equitable Adjustment for Obstruction by Contractor - No equitable adjustment shall be made as a result of costs resulting from any act, hindrance, obstacle, obstruction, interference, or omission of the Contractor, its Subcontractors, Suppliers, or Surety, or any other entity or individual acting on behalf of the Contractor, or any Subcontractor, Supplier, or Surety.
6.2.5 Calculation of Certain Equitable Adjustments - in case of delay in completion of the entire Contract due to drawings, designs or specifications that are defective and for which the Owner is responsible, the equitable adjustment for delays or costs incurred prior to notification to the Owner of such defect shall only include the extra cost and time reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempting to comply with the defective drawings, designs or specifications before the Contractor identified, or reasonably should have identified, such defect.
An equitable adjustment shall not include increased costs for delay resulting from the Contractor’s failure to continue performance during determination of any Contractor Change Request or claim.
6.2.6 Price Reductions for Defective Cost or Pricing Data - If it is later determined that pricing adjustments to the Contract were not correct due to incomplete or inaccurate pricing data by the Contractor or any Subcontractor or Supplier or that lower prices were reasonably available, the price shall be reduced accordingly and the Contract Price modified by an appropriate Change Order.
6.2.7 Variations in Estimated Quantities - The Contractor shall understand that the quantities set forth on the Statement of Work, the Proposal or other Contract documents are only approximate and that during the progress of the work, the Owner may find it advisable and shall have the right to omit portions of the work and to increase or decrease the quantities and reserves the right to add to or take from any items as may be deemed necessary or desirable. Under no circumstances or conditions will the Contractor be paid anything on account of anticipated profits upon the work or any portion thereof covered by the Contract which is not actually performed.
Where the quantity of a Unit Price pay item in the Contract is an estimated quantity and where the actual quantity of such pay item varies more than 25% below the estimated quantity stated in the Contract, the Contractor shall make an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price, upon
Page 371 of 537
37
demand of the Owner. The Contract Price adjustment will be based upon any decrease in costs due solely to the variation below 75% of the estimated quantity.
Where the quantity of a Unit Price pay item in the Contract is an estimated quantity and the actual quantity of such pay item is more than 25% above the estimated quantity in the Contract, the Owner may elect to terminate the Contract for convenience or issue a Change Order to adjust the Contract Price. The Contract Price adjustment will be based upon any increase in costs due solely to the variation above 125% of the estimated quantity.
If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for completing the Work, the Contractor may request, in writing, an extension of time in accordance with these General Conditions.
6.2.8 Disposition of Excess or Obsolete Property - When the cost of materials, supplies, equipment or other personal property made obsolete or excess as a result of a delay is included in the equitable adjustment, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of such property.
6.3 OMITTED ITEMS: The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may, in writing, order omitted from the Work any item other than Major Items, which are found by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, or Owner to be unnecessary to the Project and such omission shall not be a waiver of any condition of the Contract nor invalidate any of the provisions thereof. Major Items may be omitted by Supplemental Agreements. The Contractor will be paid for all Work done toward the completion of the item prior to such omission as provided in Section 7-5.
6.4 WORK NOT SPECIFIED BUT INCLUDED: Any work not specifically set forth in the Plans and Specifications but which may be fairly implied as included in the opinion of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall be done by the Contractor without extra charge.
6.5 EXTRA WORK--FORCE ACCOUNT: When Work is necessary for the proper completion of the Project for which no quantities or prices were given in the Proposal or Contract, the same shall be called Extra Work and shall be performed by the Contractor when so directed in writing by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. Extra Work shall be performed by the Contractor in accordance with these Specifications in a skillful and workmanlike manner and as may be directed by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. Prices for Extra Work shall be itemized and covered by a Supplemental Agreement in accordance with paragraph 3.6 above. Any supplemental agreement must be approved by the Owner prior to the actual starting of such Work. Should the parties be unable to agree on unit prices for the Extra Work or if this method of pricing is impractical, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may instruct the Contractor to proceed with the Work by day labor or Force Account as hereinafter provided in Section 7-6. Claims for Extra Work not authorized in writing by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, prior to the Work being done will be rejected and shall not be compensated for.
Extra Work shall not include materials, labor or equipment which is incidental or appurtenant to the Work indicated on the Drawings and in the Specifications. Such Work shall be completed and paid for as part of the Work to which it is appurtenant.
6.6 UNAUTHORIZED WORK: Work performed beyond the lines and grades shown on the Contract Drawings, approved Work and Shop Drawings and Extra Work done without written authorization will be considered unauthorized Work and the Contractor will receive no compensation therefore. If required by the Owner, unauthorized Work shall be remedied, removed or replaced by the Contractor at Contractor's expense. Upon failure of the Contractor to remedy, remove or replace unauthorized Work, the Owner may take action as provided in Section 2.9 Inspection.
Article 7. SUBCONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS AND PERSONNEL
7.1 SUBCONTRACTORS: The Contractor may use the services of specialty Subcontractors on those parts of the Work which, under normal contracting practices, are performed by specialty Subcontractors.
7.1.1 No Subcontracting - The Contractor shall not sublet or subcontract any portion of the Work to be done under the Contract to any Subcontractor or Supplier not identified in the Proposal until approval of such action has been obtained from the Owner. The Owner may disapprove of a Subcontractor for any reason deemed appropriate by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, including without limitation:
a) Default on a contract within the last five (5) years; b) Default on a contract that required that a surety complete the contract under payment or performance bonds issued by the surety; c) Debarment within the last five (5) years by a public entity or any organization that has formal

7.1.2 Rejection of Subcontractor - Rejection or acceptance of any Subcontractor shall not create in that Subcontractor a right to any subcontract or the right to perform any portion of the Work, nor shall acceptance or rejection relieve the Contractor of its responsibilities for the work of any Subcontractor.
7.1.3 Contractor Supervision - The Contractor shall also supervise, direct and be responsible for all work performed by its Subcontractors, their agents and employees and other persons performing any of the Work under a contract with the Contractor, Subcontractors of any tier, or Suppliers of any tier. The Contractor is fully responsible to the Owner for the acts and omissions of its Subcontractors, and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by them.
7.1.4 Contractor Obligations - The action or omission of any Subcontractor in violation of this Contract or any subcontract will not relieve the Contractor from any obligation under this Contract or at law.
7.1.5 Contractual Relationship - Nothing contained in the Contract or any exercise of rights under this Contract creates any contractual relationship or privity of contract tween any Subcontractor and the Owner.
7.1.6 Binding to Terms of Contract - The Contractor shall put appropriate provisions (including the indemnity and insurance provisions) in all Subcontracts relative to the Work to bind Subcontractors to the terms of the Contract insofar as applicable to the work of Subcontractors (even if not specifically required here), and to give the Contractor the same power to terminate any Subcontractor that the Owner may exercise over the Contractor.
7.1.7 Guarantees - The Contractor shall specifically stipulate in all Subcontractor or Supplier contracts and purchase order forms for all materials and systems that the guarantee period begins with the date of Substantial Completion. The Contractor shall, during the course of the Work, specifically instruct Subcontractors and Suppliers that all written guarantees, that are due to be submitted to the Owner, shall indicate the initiation of the guarantee period as being the date of Substantial Completion.
7.1.8 Availability of Contract Documents - The Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, before the execution of the subcontract, complete and accurate copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement which may be at variance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors shall similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective proposed Subcontractors.
7.2 WORKFORCE: The Contractor shall assign an adequate number of qualified, competent workers to each task to complete the Work on schedule and in accordance with the Contract Documents.
7.2.1 Corrective Action Plan - If the Owner believes that the Work is not proceeding satisfactorily or may not be satisfactorily completed by the Completion Date, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may, by letter to the Contractor, require the Contractor to submit a corrective action plan identifying steps to be taken, at no additional cost to the Owner, to raise the rate of progress to an acceptable level.
7.2.2 Competent Personnel - Competent personnel with experience and skills adequate for the assigned tasks are an absolute necessity for job safety and for the performance of quality work. The Contractor and any Subcontractor shall employ only foremen and workers skilled in the Work requiring special qualifications. The Contractor shall reassign or remove from the Project all personnel who are requested to be reassigned or removed by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, or who are incompetent,
Page 373 of 537
39
uncooperative, refuse to comply with safety requirements, or are otherwise unfit to perform the assigned task. No increase in Contract Time or Contract Price is authorized as a result of the Owner’s exercise of this section.
7.3 COMPLIANCE WITH IMMIGRATION REFORM AND CONTROL ACT OF 1986. Contractor certifies that Contractor has complied with the United States Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. All persons employed by Contractor for performance of this Contract have completed and signed Form I-9 verifying their identities and authorization for employment.

7.4.1 Colorado Labor (C.R.S. § 8-17-101) - At least eighty percent (80%) of each type or class of labor employed by the Contractor and any Subcontractors to perform the Work shall be persons who, at time of employment, are residents of the State of Colorado, without discrimination as to race, color, creed, gender or sex, age, religion, national origin, veteran’s status or religion, except when minimum age is a bona fide occupational qualification. The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, if requested in writing by the Contractor and approved by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in writing, may waive this requirement in accordance with C.R.S. § 8-17-101. This paragraph shall not apply if the Project receives federal funding.
7.4.2 Anti-Discrimination - While engaged in the performance of the Work, Contractor shall maintain employment practices consistent with the Colorado Antidiscrimination Act, C.R.S. § 24-34-301 through § 24-34-804, as amended. The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.
7.4.3 Civil Rights - In compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, coupled with the Colorado Governor’s Executive Order dated July 6, 1972, Contractor, for itself and its assignees and successors in interest, agree as follows:
(a) When applicable, the Contractor shall comply with the Regulations of the Department of Transportation relative to nondiscrimination in Federally assisted programs of the Department of Transportation (Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21, hereinafter referred to as the “Regulations”), which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this Contract. Contractor shall not participate either directly or indirectly in discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the Regulations including employment practices when the Contract covers a program set forth in Appendix “C” of the Regulations. (b) The Contractor, with regard to the Work performed by it after award and prior to completion of the Work, shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, creed, color, gender or sex, age, religion, veteran status, national origin or ancestry in the selection and retention of Subcontractors, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. (c) In all solicitations either by competitive Bid or negotiation made by Contractor for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials or equipment, each potential Subcontractor or Supplier shall be notified by Contractor of Contractor’s obligations under this Contract and the regulations related to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, creed, color, gender or sex, age, religion, veteran status, national origin or ancestry. (d) The Contractor shall take all affirmative actions necessary and appropriate to implement, not only the letter but also the spirit, of the policy of equality of opportunity as enunciated in the Constitution and the laws of the State of Colorado and as construed by the courts to prevent discrimination because of race, creed, color, gender or sex, age, religion, handicap, veterans status, national origin or ancestry. (e) The Contractor shall include the provisions of these subsections 1 through 5 in every subcontract, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by the Regulations, orders or instructions issued pursuant thereto. The Contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract or procurement as the Owner may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions; provided, however, that in the event the Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a Subcontractor or supplier as a result of such direction, the Contractor may request the Owner to enter into such litigation to protect the interest(s) of the Owner.

7.4.4 Americans with Disabilities Act - The Owner makes every attempt to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and requires all contractors to be aware of this law and to report immediately to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, any requests or complaints based upon the Americans with Disabilities Act. This requirement applies to persons or groups who have identified themselves as disabled, or as someone with whom they associate as disabled, and who require a special accommodation.
Article 8. INSPECTIONS; CORRECTIONS OF DEFECTS
8.1 DEFECTIVE WORK AND MATERIALS: Material and workmanship not conforming to the requirements of the Contract are deemed defective. The Contractor shall bear all costs of investigating and correcting such defective Work and materials, which includes design efforts necessary to correct such Work.
8.1.1 Determination of Defects - Whether or not the Work is defective will be determined by comparing it to the Contract Drawings, Specifications, accepted Shop Drawings and manufacturer’s literature and further measuring it against the standard of quality implied by the Contractor’s warranty. Also, should the appearance and performance of any element of the Work fail to conform to standards of the trade for such Work, that Work may be declared defective.
8.1.2 Repair and Removal of Defects - Defects discovered by any inspection process or testing, or otherwise made apparent during the Work, shall be repaired, removed, or replaced by the Contractor, at no cost to the Owner, as identified. The Owner shall have the right to charge the Contractor for its costs of re-inspecting the Work after the defective Work is corrected and any costs of verifying or determining the existence of latent defects
8.1.3 Failure to Repair or Remove Defects - If the Contractor fails to replace rejected materials or Work within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice, the Owner may replace or correct them and charge the cost to the Contractor and may terminate the right of the Contractor to proceed.
8.1.4 Failure to Detect Defects - Failure to detect previously installed defective materials or workmanship shall not impair the Owner’s right to receive the completed Work, which is free of defects and meets all of the requirements of the Contract Documents. Nothing in this section shall limit the Owner’s right to seek recovery for latent defects that are not observable until after any warranty or guaranty periods have run.
8.2 SUBSTITUTED PERFORMANCE: If the Contractor’s failure of exact performance does not appear to the Owner to be deliberate or willful and if the Owner concludes that less than exact performance in some minor part of the Work will not result in a decrease in quality in the entire Work, the Owner may, at its sole option, accept substituted performance.
Should the Owner accept substituted performance, the cost of the Work shall be reduced by the sum of money that the Owner determines to be a reasonable consideration for less than exact performance and the Owner may, at its discretion, require separate warranties for any substituted performance.
8.3 AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF INSPECTORS: All Work shall be subject to inspection and testing by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, Owner or their agent at all reasonable times and at all places prior to acceptance. Inspectors, employed by the Owner, are authorized to inspect all Work done and all material furnished. Such inspection may extend to all of any part of the Work and to the preparation, fabrication, or manufacture of the materials to be used. The Inspector is not authorized to revoke, alter, or waive any requirements of the Plans and Specifications. The Inspector is authorized to call to the attention of the Contractor any failure of the Work or materials to conform to the Specifications and Contract Documents.
8.3.1 Inspector Authority - The Inspector shall have the authority to reject materials or suspend the Work until any question at issue can be referred to and decided by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. If the Contractor refuses to suspend operations on verbal order, the Inspector shall issue a written order giving the reason for shutting down the Work. After placing the order in the hands of the manager in charge, the Inspector shall immediately leave the job. Work done during the absence of the Inspector will not be accepted nor paid for.
8.3.2 Contractor Obligations - Inspections by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, or the Owner, or any of their representatives, or others shall not relieve the Contractor from his obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and to also inspect his own Work.
8.3.3 Limitations of Inspector - The Inspector shall in no case act as foreman or perform other duties for the Contractor nor interfere with the management of the Work by the latter. Any advice which the Inspector may give the Contractor shall in no way be construed as binding to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in any way, or releasing the Contractor from fulfilling any of the terms of the Contract.
Page 375 of 537

8.4 INSPECTION: Drawings and specifications defining the Work were prepared on the basis of interpretation by design professionals of information derived from investigations of the Work site. Such information and data are subject to sampling errors, and the interpretation of the information and data depends to a degree on the judgment of the design professional. Information about the degree of difficulty of the Work to be done cannot totally be derived from either the Drawings or Specifications or from the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. The Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment to the Contract Time or Contract Price for any condition that was or would have been evident at the time of a pre-Proposal site inspection. By executing the Contract, the Contractor represents that they have visited the site if and to the extent it believed necessary, familiarized itself with the location and conditions under which the Work is to be performed, and correlated its observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
8.4.1 Duties of Contractor - Contractor shall promptly, before such conditions are further disturbed, notify the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in writing of:
• Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the Work site differing materially from those indicated in the Contract; or
• Unknown physical conditions at the Work site, of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract.
8.4.2 Duties of the Owner - Upon receipt of written notification from the Contractor of alleged differing site conditions, the Owner shall promptly investigate the conditions. If the Owner finds that the conditions materially differ and could not have been discovered, or reasonably inferred, from the Contract Documents or a thorough inspection of the Work site by the Contractor, and such conditions cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of or the time required for performance of any related part of the Work under the Contract, an adjustment to the Contract Time or Contract Price, or both, may be made through a Change Order.
8.4.3 All Work Subject to Inspection - Until final payment, all parts of the work may be subject to inspection and testing by Owner or its designated representatives. Contractor may furnish, at its own expense, all reasonable access, assistance, and facilities required by Owner for such inspection and testing. The Contractor may furnish the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, with every reasonable facility for ascertaining whether or not the Work performed and materials used are in accordance with the requirements and intent of the Specifications and Contract. In the event of night Work, the Contractor may furnish proper lighting to adequately perform and inspect the Work being performed. If the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, requests it, the Contractor may, at any time before acceptance of the Work, remove or uncover such portion of the finished Work as may be directed. After examination, the Contractor may restore said portions of the Work to the standard required by the Specifications. Should the Work thus exposed or examined prove acceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the coverage or making good of the parts removed, may be paid for as Extra Work; but should the Work so exposed or examined prove unacceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the covering or making good of the parts removed, shall be at the Contractor's expense. Any Work done or materials used by the Contractor without suitable supervision or inspection by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, or his authorized representative may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense.
8.4.4 Prompt Remedy - If Contractor does not promptly replace rejected material or correct rejected workmanship the Owner may: (a) by separate Contract or otherwise, replace such material or correct such workmanship and charge the cost thereof to the Contractor, or (b) terminate the Contractor's right to proceed in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.9. Such inspection and test is for the sole benefit of Owner and may not relieve Contractor of the responsibility of providing quality control measures to assure that the Work strictly complies with the Contract. No inspection or test by the Owner, Project Engineer, or Project Manager, or their agent may be construed as constituting or implying acceptance. Inspection or test may not relieve Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material prior to acceptance, nor in any way affect the continuing rights of the Owner after acceptance of the completed Work.
8.4.5 Work Outside Normal Work Day - Any Work outside the normal five (5) day, forty (40) hour week may require the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, or Inspector on the job. All inspection so required shall be done at the Contractor's expense and the cost thereof may be deducted from the final payment. Overtime inspection may be done by the Owner at the Contractor's expense at $50.00 per hour. The payment by the Contractor of overtime inspection fees may not relieve the Contractor from the liquidated damages provisions as specified in Section 6-8 herein.
8.4.6 Change Order - If the Contractor has not fully complied with the notice and submittal requirements of this section or any part of the General Conditions pertaining to Change Orders, with particular attention
Page 376 of 537
42
to not disturbing the site prior to allowing the Owner to investigate the conditions, the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived its right to assert a claim for differing site conditions.
8.4.7 No Claim After Final Payment - No claim will be allowed under this section if Final Payment has been made.
8.5 REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE AND UNAUTHORIZED WORK: All Work which has been rejected or condemned by Owner or Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall be repaired, or if it cannot be satisfactorily repaired, be removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense. Work done without lines and grades having been given, Work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the Plans, or asgiven, except as herein provided, Workdonewithout giving timely notice to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, so the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may, if he/she wishes, be present to observe theWorkinprogress,or anyExtraor unclassified Workdonewithout written authorityand prior Agreement inwritingasto prices, willbe done at the Contractor's risk and will be considered unauthorized and at the option of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may not be measured and paid for and may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense.
Upon the failure of the Contractor to satisfactorily repair or to remove and replace, if so directed, rejected,
unauthorized, or condemned Work immediately after receiving formal notice from the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, the Owner may, at its sole option, recover for such defective Work on the Contractor's bond or by action in a court having proper jurisdiction over such matters, or may employ labor and equipment and satisfactorily repair or remove and replace such Work and charge the cost of the same to the Contractor, which cost will be deducted from any money due him/her.
8.6 GEOTECHNICAL AND OTHER DESIGN PROFESSIONAL REPORTS, INVESTIGATIONS & TESTS: The Contractor acknowledges that certain soils reports, borings, and other geotechnical data, more particularly described or referenced in the Specifications of the Contract, have been made available for inspection and review. The borings were made for the use of the Owner in the design of the Project and are not intended to be interpreted for use in temporary construction facilities designed by the Contractor.
The Owner in no way warrants the accuracy or reliability of said borings and other geotechnical data or of the data, information or interpretations contained in said soils reports, and is not responsible for any deduction, interpretation, or conclusion drawn therefrom by the Contractor. Said soil reports may contain interpretations by design professionals of borings and geotechnical data obtained at the Work site. Such borings and geotechnical data are subject to sampling errors, and any interpretations or conclusions based on such borings and data depend to a degree on the judgment of the design professionals.
The Contractor agrees that it will make no claims against the Owner if, in performing the Work, it finds that the actual conditions encountered do not conform to those indicated by said soil reports, borings and other geotechnical data, or those reasonably inferred therefrom or reasonably discoverable by a thorough inspection of the site by the Contractor.
Article 9. PROTECTION OF PERSONS, PROPERTY AND ENVIRONMENT
9.1 PROTECTION OF PERSONS: The Contractor is responsible for the health and safety of all persons on or at the Work site and shall take all necessary and reasonable precautions and actions to protect all such persons from injury, death, or loss.

Signs will not be considered to be an adequate substitute for physical protective barriers. The costs of all protective devices and the planning and implementing of safety precautions are considered to be included in the Unit Prices, even if not specified.
If, in the opinion of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, the Contractor has not supplied necessary and adequate barricades, warnings, or other safety devices, then the Owner may order additional devices and deduct the cost from the Contractor's payment. By taking such action, the Owner assumes no liability
Page 377 of 537
43
for the adequacy of such barricades, warnings or other safety devices.
9.1.3 Underground Work - For operations involving trenching, excavation or any other underground construction, the Contractor’s attention is specifically directed to and its work shall conform to the latest revision of the Construction Safety and Health Regulations, Part P Subparagraph 1926.6013-6016 by OSHA, as amended.
9.1.4 Protection of the Public - The Contractor and all Subcontractors shall always, whether or not so specifically directed by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, take necessary precautions to ensure the protection of the public.

(e) Contractor shall carefully study the Contract Documents and, if Contractor identifies any discrepancies found between the Drawings and Specifications and site conditions and any adjacent work on which the Work is dependent and any errors or omissions in the Drawings or Specifications, shall promptly notify the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, of such discrepancies, errors, or omissions in writing, and any necessary changes shall be accomplished by issuance of an appropriate Change Order or Field Order. Any Work done by the Contractor after discovery of such discrepancies, errors or omissions prior to the issuance of a Change Order or Field Order is done at the Contractor's risk. In all cases, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall decide the intent of the Drawings and Specifications. In the event such discrepancies exist and the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, is not so notified, the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall reserve the right to exercise sole arbitration authority. It is mutually agreed that all authorized alterations affecting the requirements and information given on the Approved Plans shall be in writing and approved by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. (f) If the Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Suppliers, knows or reasonably should know by virtue of common knowledge or customary practice in the construction industry that any of the Contract Documents are at variance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, or rules or regulations, in any respect, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, in writing, and any necessary changes shall be accomplished by issuance of an appropriate Change Order or Field Order. The Contractor shall assume full responsibility for, and shall bear all costs attributable to work performed by the Contractor or any Subcontractor prior to the issuance of a Change Order or Field Order when any of them know or reasonably should know that it is contrary to such laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules or regulations. (g) The Contractor, before commencing work, shall verify all governing dimensions, and shall examine, to the extent reasonable, all adjoining work on which its Work is in any way dependent. No disclaimer of responsibility for defective or non-conforming adjoining work will be considered unless written notice of the same has been filed by the Contractor and agreed to in writing by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, before the Contractor begins any part of the affected Work. (h) The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work at any time without Contract Documents or, where required, approved Drawings, Specifications, instructions, Shop Drawings, product data, or samples for such portion of the Work.
19.2 COPIES OF DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS FURNISHED: The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will furnish to the Contractor copies of Drawings and Specifications of the Work at reproduction costs (including labor) or electronic copies of Drawings and Specifications in electronic form at no charge.
19.3 UTILITIES: Delays relating to relocation of utilities should be anticipated for Work on or involving City rights- of-way.
It is the Contractor’s responsibility to verify all locations of existing structures and utilities shown on the Drawings and to ascertain whether any other structures and utilities exist. The Drawings show available information on the location of existing underground, surface and overhead structures and utilities. However, the Owner does not guarantee the results of the investigations are accurate or complete.
19.4 REQUESTS FOR CLARIFICATION AND INFORMATION: The Contractor shall submit any requests for information or clarification of Drawings and Specifications to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, or to the person who has been designated by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, to receive such requests. When the City responds to such requests for information or clarification, it will issue a response which can consist of a written explanation with or without drawings or other information in the City’s sole discretion. Such requests and responses to such requests shall neither authorize nor constitute changes in the Contract Time or Contract Price. If the Contractor believes that the response to any request for information or clarification requires a change in Contract Time or Contract Price, it shall submit a Contractor Change Request in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Page 393 of 537
59
The Contractor shall review and attempt to answer requests for information or clarification from its Subcontractors and Suppliers. Such requests shall be encompassed within the Contractor’s request for information or clarification by the Contractor to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, if the Contractor is unable to answer such requests.
19.5 DIMENSIONS: Figured dimensions shall govern over scaled dimensions.
19.6 SHOP DRAWINGS
(a) The Plans will be supplemented by Shop Drawings as necessary to adequately control the Work or as specified. Shop Drawings are not part of the Contract documents. Shop Drawings may consist of drawings, diagrams, illustrations, schedules, calculations, and other data prepared by the Contractor, Subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier, or distributor, which will illustrate how specific portions of the Work shall be fabricated and/or installed in accordance with the Plan details and Specifications. The Contractor shall provide Shop Drawings, settings, schedules, and such other Drawings as may be necessary for the prosecution of the Work in the shop and in the field as required by the Drawings, Specifications or Project Engineer, or Project Manager’s instructions. (b) Any Work done prior to the Owner's approval of Shop Drawings will be at the Contractor's risk. (c) The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may request additional details and require the Contractor to make changes in the design which are necessary to conform to the provisions and intent of these Specifications without additional cost to the Owner. (d) The Contractor shall submit for approval three (3) hard copies and one electronic copy of all Shop Drawings and descriptive data as applicable showing all features not fully detailed on the Specifications but essential for a completely coordinated installation. After checking, one set will be returned to the Contractor. The Contractor will correct errors in Shop Drawings as directed by the Owner. (e) The Owner’s approval of Shop Drawings indicates only that the type and kind of equipment and general method of construction or detailing are satisfactory and in general compliance with the Contract Documents and design concept of the Project. The Contractor has the responsibility for incorporating into the Work satisfactory materials and equipment meeting the requirements of the Contract Documents, the proper dimensions, and the detailing of connections. Approval of the Shop Drawings by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall not be construed as a complete check and verification, but will indicate that general conformance with the design concept and general compliance with the information given in the Contract has been achieved. Anyinformation or action to be taken as set forth in the Shop Drawings is subject to the requirements of the Plans and Specifications. The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall be notified in writing of any information in the Shop Drawings that deviates from the requirements of the Contract documents. Appropriate actionwill then be taken by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. (f) The Contractor may not construe such approval as a complete check and approval does not indicate the waiver of any Contract requirement. Changes in the Work are authorized only by separate written Change Order. (g) Shop Drawings being returned will be stamped to indicate the following:
• Shop Drawings approved for use in construction will have one of the following statements checked: Approved, No Exception Taken, or Approved as Noted. • Shop Drawings to be corrected or redrawn and resubmitted for approval will have one of the following statements checked: Revise as Noted, Resubmit; orRejected.
(h) If Shop Drawings are returned for correction, corrections shall be made and the corrected drawings shall be resubmitted by the Contractor in the same manner as the first submittal. (i) The time required for approval of each submittal will not exceed four (4) weeks after Shop Drawings are received by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. (j) It is the intent of these Specifications that no more than two submittals will be required. If, however, additional submittals are required by actions of the Contractor, the additional time for Shop Drawing approval will be borne by the Contractor. If additional submittals are required, or if Shop Drawing approval is delayed by actions of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and if the Contractor's controlling operations are delayed or interfered with by reason of the delay in Shop Drawing reviews, an extension of time commensurate with the delay in completion of the Work thus caused will be granted as provided in Subsection 6.7, Determination and Extension of Contract Time for completion (k) All Shop Drawings shall be 36 inches long and 22 inches wide overall. There shall be a two inch margin on the left side of the sheet and one-half inch margin on the other three sides. A blank space, six inches by three inches, shall be left near the lower right-hand corner for an approval stamp. (l) Where design notes or catalogue cuts are required, they may be submitted on 8-1/2 in. x 11 in. sheets in lieu of the size mentioned above. (m) There shall be a title block in the lower right-hand corner of each sheet. The title block shall show the Owner's name, structure number, the location of the structure, and the contents of the sheet.

(n) The Contract price will include the cost of furnishing all Shop Drawings. Shop drawings and working drawings submitted to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, by the Contractor, Subcontractor or any lower tier Subcontractor pursuant to the Work, may be duplicated by the Owner and the Owner may use and disclose, in any manner and for any purpose such Shop Drawings and Working Drawings delivered under this Contract.
19.7 RECORD DOCUMENTS: (a) The Contractor shall keep one complete set of all current Drawings and Specifications at the work site and available to the Owner and its representatives at all times. The Contractor shall also keep a set of “shop” drawings on-site that contain all changes or deviations from the original drawings neatly marked thereon in brightly contrasting color. This shall be a separate set of drawings, not used for construction purposes, which shall be kept up to date as the job progresses and shall be made available for inspection by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, at all times. Upon completion of the Contract, this set of drawings shall be delivered to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. (b) The Contractor shall keep one record copy of all Amendments, Change Orders, Drawings, Field Orders, Shop Drawings and Specifications in good order. (c) The Contractor shall record any changes made during construction and any discrepancies between the Contract Documents and Work actually performed on the record copies (however minor or seemingly insignificant). The Contractor shall make a set of “Record Drawings” by marking this set of prints with all changes from the original Drawings as Proposal, including all Change Orders, alignment changes, depth changes of underground pipes and utilities, utility locations, and all other items that are not the same as originally drawn. The Contractor shall keep the Record Drawings up to date as the Project progresses. The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, may require, as a condition of the approval of any progress payment, periodic inspection of the Record Drawings. The Contractor will deliver the Record Drawings to the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, upon completion of the Project before Final Payment. (d) All Contract Documents are the property of the Owner and shall not be used by the Contractor for any purpose other than the Work to be performed under the Contract. At Final Acceptance, all Shop Drawings and Record Drawings, including all material in electronic format shall become the property of the Owner. The Contractor will be permitted to maintain a copy of the Drawings, Specifications and Shop Drawings as necessary to maintain a Contract record file.

19.9 CONFORMITY WITH PLANS AND ALLOWABLE DEVIATIONS: Finished surfaces shall conform with lines, grades, cross sections and dimensions shown on the Approved Plans. Any deviation from the Plans and working drawings, as may be required by the demands of construction, will in all cases be determined by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, and authorized in writing.
19.10 COORDINATION OF SPECIFICATIONS, PLANS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS: The Specifications, the Plans, Special Provisions, and all supplementary Plans and documents are essential parts of the Contract, and a requirement occurring in one is as binding as though occurring in all. They are intended to be cooperative to describe and provide for a complete Work. In case of discrepancy, figured dimensions, unless obviously incorrect, shall govern over scaled dimensions. Plans shall govern over Specifications and Special Provisions shall govern over both Plans and Specifications. The Contractor shall not use to his advantage any apparent error or omission in the Plans or Specifications. In the event the Contractor discovers any apparent error or discrepancy, he shall immediately call upon the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, for his interpretation and decision and such decision shall be final. In the event contradiction and/or conflicts occur in the Specifications not otherwise covered by Special Provisions, the Specifications deemed by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, to be most restrictive shall govern.
19.11 OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT: Contractor acknowledges that the Work Product and the copyright interest therein are owned by Owner. Contractor shall not be entitled to use the Work Product in connection with any construction other than the Project, and upon the completion of the Work or the termination of the Contract, Contractor shall return to Architect, at its request, all copies of the Work Product except one (1) signed record set of Construction Documents. Any technical models and/or computer files shall be the property of the Owner.
Article 20. RIGHT-OF-WAY

otherwise mutually agreed. The Owner shall provide to the Contractor information that delineates and describes the lands owned and rights-of-way acquired, when necessary. The Contractor shall confine its operations within the areas designated by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager.
20.2 ACCESS TO RIGHT-OF-WAY: The Owner will make best efforts to provide right of access to all places necessary for the performance of the Work in a timely manner. The Owner will not be liable to Contractor for any delay in providing access for reasons outside the Owner’s control. Nothing contained in the Contract shall give the Contractor exclusive occupancy of the area provided by the Owner. The Owner, other contractors of the Owner and utility companies may enter upon or occupy portions of the land furnished by the Owner for any purpose, but without unreasonably interfering with the completion of the Project. Joint occupancy or use of the territory shall not be the basis of any claim for delay or damages.
If any part of the Project requires Work within the right-of-way of a roadway under the jurisdiction of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) the Contractor shall obtain the necessary permits from CDOT to perform such Work. The Contractor shall conform to all the requirements and restrictions indicated on the permit. The Contractor shall restore the area to its original condition, including reseeding if necessary, at the completion of the Project. The Contractor’s equipment shall not be stored on any traveled highway.
20.3 RIGHTS-OF-WAY: The Owner shall furnish all lands and rights-of-way required for completion of this Contract. In acquiring rights-of-way, the Owner will proceed as expeditiously as possible, but in the event all rights- of-way or easements are not acquired prior to the beginning of construction, the Contractor shall begin Work on such lands and rights-of-way as have been acquired. No claim for damage will be allowed or shall be made by reason of the Owner's delay in obtaining lands, easements or rights-of-way. In the event of litigation or other delays in acquiring rights-of-way, the time allowed herein for completion will be extended to compensate for the time actually lost by such delay.
Article 21. SUBMITTALS

Contractor to comply with any laws or regulations applicable to the Work. The Owner will not be responsible for the Contractor’s failure to perform or furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
The Owner’s promise to pay for the Work that the Contractor promises to perform is limited by the Owner’s Charter and its ordinances. A payment obligation of the Owner under this Contract, whether direct or contingent, shall extend only to funds appropriated by the Owner Council for the purpose of the Contract, encumbered for the purpose of the Contract and paid into the Owner or otherwise lawfully made available by the Owner. Unless authorized by law, (i) the Owner does not by this Contract irrevocably pledge present cash reserves for payments in future fiscal years, and (ii) this Contract is not intended to create a multiple-fiscal year direct or indirect debt or financial obligation of the Owner. Other limitations are found in the law that the Contractor is presumed to know. Three such limitations on payment are listed below:
a) Under no circumstances will the Owner be liable for any extra Work that has not been authorized by a properly executed Change Order or Field Order.
b) No Change Order, Field Order, or other form of directive to the Contractor shall be issued, and no such order or directive shall be binding if issued, if: (i) it would directly cause the aggregate amount payable under the Contract to exceed the amount appropriated or otherwise lawfully made available for the Contract, or (ii) it would require the Contractor to perform additional compensable work which would cause the aggregate amount payable to exceed such appropriated or provided amount.
c) It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to verify that the amounts already appropriated or otherwise made available for the Contract are sufficient to cover the entire costs of the Work. Any work undertaken or performed in excess of the amount appropriated or otherwise made available is undertaken or performed in violation of the terms of the Contract, without the proper authorization, and at the Contractor’s own risk.
Any limitations on the sources of funding for payments made under the Contract are stated in the Contract Documents.
23.2 PROJECT ENGINEER, OR PROJECT MANAGER: The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, is designated by the Owner to exercise all authority on its behalf under the Contract and to see that the Project is completed according to the Contract Documents.

The Project Engineer, or Project Manager, will furnish all explanations, directions, stakes or markers, and inspections necessary to carry out and complete the Project. No inspection, explanation or direction by the Project Engineer, or Project Manager, shall be deemed authority for Contractor to deviate from the requirement that the Work be performed in accord with the Contract Documents.
23.3 RIGHT TO BAR PERSONS FROM THE WORK OR SITE: The Owner reserves the right to bar any person, including employees of the Contractor and Subcontractors, from the Work site by order of the Project Engineer, or Project Manager. This shall not be treated as a request for the employee’s termination but a request that the employee not be assigned to work on the Owner Work site. No increase in contract time or price is authorized as a result of the Owner’s exercise of this section.
23.4 ACCESS TO WORK: The Owner, its representatives, and participating federal or state agencies and other public authorities having jurisdiction established by law shall have access to the Project and Work site at any time for any purposes, including without limitation inspection, sampling, and testing. The Contractor shall provide proper facilities for access to the Project.
Access means wherever and whenever the Work is in manufacture, preparation or progress and includes access to payrolls, records of personnel not protected from disclosure by law, invoices of materials, terms and conditions of sale of materials and equipment to be incorporated in the Project, files, records, books, correspondence, instructions, Drawings, receipts, subcontracts, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda and any other relevant data and records relating to the Contract.

ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN
The City of Englewood Strategic Plan provides a long-term strategic vision for the city, organized into
outcome areas, goals, key projects, projects in development and performance metrics. At an annual
retreat in January 2024, Council provided staff with direction on modifications to the strategic plan
to ensure that focus areas match to areas of community interest and focus.
∙ OUTCOME AREAS: High-level, visionary outcomes that the city hopes to achieve
∙ GOALS: More specific, measurable (through projects and performance metrics)
areas that the city hopes to achieve which connect to each outcome area
∙ KEY PROJECTS: Discreet, one time initiatives that the city hopes to complete
within one year which move the city closer towards achieving goals and eventually
outcomes
∙ PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT: Projects that focus on determining, through
study and research, whether an initiative is feasible. Often, projects in
development later become key projects.
∙ METRICS: Measurements used to determine whether existing initiatives are
efficient and effective in working towards the achievement of key projects
Outcome Area Priorities
At their retreat in January 2024, Council ranked the eight outcome areas of the plan in terms of priority:
1. Infrastructure
2. Safety
3. Transportation
4. Economy
5. Governance
6. Community Engagement
7. Sustainability
8. Community Wellbeing
PLUG-IN PLANS
Like many cities, the City of Englewood develops detailed plans focused on specific functional areas,
such as a library strategic plan or facilities and asset management plan. These plans include specific
projects and initiatives designed to move the city forward in an identified area and “plug in” to the
strategic plan by connecting into strategic plan outcomes and goals. As you navigate the strategic
plan, look for this icon to identify whether there is a more detailed plan for that functional
area. A directory of active plug-in plans, with links to the documents, will be posted on the city’s
strategic plan website.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Implementation of State of Colorado PFAS grants
Englewood is taking proactive measures by voluntarily sampling for PFAS in our
drinking water, even though these chemicals are currently unregulated. While the EPA
has established health advisories and defined minimum reporting levels to ensure
consistency in public information, in July 2024, the city will commence monitoring
PFAS under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UMCR) in anticipation of
forthcoming EPA PFAS regulations expected in 2026.
The results from UCMR testing will be made available to Englewood Utilities customers
through the annual Consumer Confidence Report (water quality report) starting in 2025.
To further address PFAS concerns, the City of Englewood’s Utilities Department has been
granted a total of $426,000 from the Colorado Department of Health and Environment.
These funds will support a pilot study on PFAS treatment and facilitate expanded
sampling and analysis of PFAS in the South Platte River watershed during 2024-2025.

A city that protects and serves the community and its people
with professionalism and responsiveness
The safety of a community, including actual safety and the perception of safety, is critical
to ensuring the overall wellbeing of our community. In the summer of 2020, after the brutal
death of Mr. George Floyd at the hands of an officer of the Minneapolis Police Department, the
Englewood Police Department and the City of Englewood set in motion a comprehensive review
of policing policies and procedures. Building on a history of innovations in policing, the review
process included a community townhall and survey and the development of a Police Reform
Task Force. All of the recommendations of the task force are included in the strategic plan, as
well as other initiatives designed to ensure the safety of our community.

and events designed to engage community members in safety strategies and ultimately
reduce crime. The Graffiti Paint Out is a joint effort between the Police Department and
the community to eliminate graffiti and to prevent it from occurring in the city, and
the department also launched a graffiti alert system designed to ensure concerned
community members are informed of recent graffiti incidents. Defense classes are
held throughout the year, which consist of both verbal and hands-on instruction, and
the Citizen’s Academy is a nine week program of classroom instruction and hands-on
experience designed to provide community members with a better understanding of the
functions of the Englewood Police Department.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Institutionalize Vision Zero through the establishment
of an internal committee
First implemented in Europe in the 1990s, Vision Zero is a comprehensive approach to
significantly reducing, and eventually eliminating, severe injuries and fatalities related
to traffic by focusing on education, engineering, and enforcement. In 2019, the Denver
Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) began work on a regional approach to Vision
Zero by interviewing residents from around the region on topics related to traffic safety.
The regional standard adopted by DRCOG focuses on a safe system with six principles: (1)
Deaths and serious injuries are unacceptable; (2) Humans make mistakes; (3) Humans are
vulnerable; (4) Responsibility is shared; (5) Safety is proactive; (6) Redundancy is crucial. The
city is working to develop a plan to institutionalize the regional approach to vision zero in
the city by focusing on traffic calming (engineering); partnering with the Police Department
on enforcement at high accident locations, school zones, and special traffic problem
areas; and partnering with the Englewood Public Schools and the city’s communications
department to engage community members in traffic safety (education)

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Create an internal staff committee to focus
on integrating mission, vision and values
statements into the work of the city
Beginning in late 2021, a committee of staff members created a series of
focus groups and a survey, with over 150 total participants, which led to the
establishment of mission, vision, and values statements for the city. The staff
committee shared its recommendations with City Council and city employees,
and created strategies to remind employees of and engage them in following the
mission, vision, and value statements for the city. Posters with these statements
are displayed throughout city facilities and all employees received a water
bottle with the statements. Each month, in the employee newsletter and in
staff meetings, staff members share ideas on living the values through “culture
corners”. Developing a committee to develop additional ideas to share these
statements and engage employees will continue to work towards a culture where
the mission, vision, and values statements are known, shared, and lived by all.

Vibrant, engaged and connected neighborhoods as part of the
Englewood community
The vibrancy of neighborhoods is a key component of any vibrant, thriving and connected
community. While maintaining connections with neighbors during the COVID-19 pandemic was
challenging, the City of Englewood developed a Neighborhood Resources Program to offer many
fun ways to connect and celebrate neighbors. The city worked with the Historic Preservation
Commission to create a citywide neighborhood map, with the goal of strengthening the
Englewood communities of today while preserving the city’s diverse history.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
MEASUREMENT
Overall appearance of Englewood
Your neighborhood as a place to live
Well-designed neighborhoods

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Implement Ambassador Program
Implement Ambassador Program, including at least four events throughout 2024
The Englewood Ambassadors are a group of approximately 20 dedicated city employees who
represent the City of Englewood at various community and neighborhood events, service projects,
and resident-frequented locations. Ambassadors work to answer questions about City initiatives,
connect with residents, and address their concerns. The role of ambassadors is crucial for
bridging the gap between the City of Englewood and its residents. Given that many residents have
minimal connections to the city or its staff, and staff members often face limited opportunities to
engage with the community, ambassadors play a vital role in fostering meaningful connections.
Addressing challenges such as suspicion and mistrust within the community, ambassadors serve
as liaisons to overcome these barriers. The primary goal is to ensure that accurate information
is readily available to residents and to instill trust in our organization, thereby strengthening the
relationship between the city and its community.

A city that stewards its resources for the benefit of current and
future generations
In November 2020, staff met with city council to discuss defining sustainability, setting
sustainability goals and potentially adding additional projects into the sustainability section of
the strategic plan. In January 2021, council held a retreat and additional suggestions came out
of a sustainability break out session. The sustainability plan is a “plug-in-plan,” meaning that
while it functions as a stand-alone plan, it is also the sustainability section of the strategic plan.

Number of days out of ozone compliance
Reduction in city vehicle fuel usage
Reduction in the number of structures at risk of flooding
Increase the use of organic fertilizer by 20% over the next five years
Reduce the use of Glyphosate in parks and open space by 25% over the next five years
