A brief overview of the project was provided and at the end of the presentation a question & answer session was conducted. Mr. Fortner stated that nothing during the meeting, as far as clarifications and/or answers is to be construed as information changing the bid documents.

The project control provisions of the Contract shall be strictly adhered to and enforced. The scheduling of the work is essential to project control and timely completion. Furthermore, bidders were advised of construction constraints as noted in the Bid Documents. Bidders were notified that these constraints are not intended to release the Contractor from the responsibility to coordinate the work in any manner, which will ensure project completion within the time allowed. Bidders were advised that the CONTRACTOR is responsible for reviewing the pertinent state statutes involving sales tax to include, but not be limited to, Section , Article 3 of the South Carolina Income Tax Act of 1926, as amended, which puts a special requirement on nonresident contractors. Bidders were advised that the CONTRACTOR is responsible for reviewing pertinent local ordinances involving requirements for Horry County Business Licenses. 4. CONTRACT TIME Bidders were advised that time is of the essence for this project. Section 00500, Article 3 states: The project will be considered substantially complete upon completion of all items listed in the Bid Form and appurtenances in accordance with the Contract Documents, including successful performance of all testing requirements. The work shall be completed in accordance with Paragraph Page 2 of 7

All work shall be complete and ready for final payment in accordance with paragraph of the General Conditions within 150 calendar days from (and including) the date when the Notice-to-Proceed is issued. Regarding adverse weather C. states: On any day that the CONTRACTOR considers that he is delayed by adverse weather conditions, he shall identify in writing to the ENGINEER and the OWNER the adverse weather conditions affecting his activity, the specific nature of the activity affected, the number of hours lost and the number of and identity (by responsibility or trade) of workers affected and shall obtain from the Engineer written recognitions of the delay. A delay is defined as the CONTRACTOR being unable to perform at least 4 hours of work on the critical path. The time for performance of this contract includes an allowance of ten (10) calendar days that are unsuitable for critical path construction work by reason of adverse weather. The Contract time will be extended only if the number of calendar days of adverse weather recognized by the Engineer exceeds the ten (10) calendar days of adverse weather days set forth, and the Contractor demonstrates how this adverse weather impacts activities on the critical path of the Contract Construction schedule. Regarding working hours B.1 states: Regular working hours are defined as 10 hours per day, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, between the hours of 7 AM and 7 PM.

Requests will be reviewed by ENGINEER, and ENGINEER will either (1) deny request or (2) provide CONTRACTOR with terms for additional engineering and/or inspection costs to be paid for by CONTRACTOR as a result of overtime work in excess of the regular working hours. CONTRACTOR shall agree to the ENGINEER s terms prior to ENGINEER approving CONTRACTOR s request to work other than regular working hours. Regarding liquidated damages Section 7.1 states: OWNER and CONTRACTOR recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement and that OWNER will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the Contract Time specified in Article 3 above, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with Article 12 of the General Conditions. They also recognize the delays, expense and difficulties involved in proving, in a legal proceeding, the actual loss suffered by OWNER if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty) CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER as follows: $1, per day for each calendar day of delay until the Work as defined in Articles 1 and 3 has reached final completion.
