13. CHANGES: The City may issue a written change order for any change in the Contract

an equitable adjustment. The City will attempt, in good faith, to reach agreement with the
Contractor on all equitable adjustments. However, if the parties are unable to agree, the
City will determine the equitable adjustment as it deems appropriate. The Contractor shall
proceed with the change order work upon receiving either a written change order from the
City or an oral order from the City before actually receiving the written change order. If

the Contractor waives its right to make any claim or submit subsequent change order
requests for that portion of the contract work. If the Contractor disagrees with the equitable
adjustment, the Contractor must complete the change order work; however, the Contractor
may elect to protest the adjustment as provided in subsections A through E of Section 13
entitled, "Claims," below.
The Contractor accepts all requirements of a change order by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing
a separate acceptance, or (3) not protesting in the way this section provides. A change
order that is accepted by Contractor as provided in this section shall constitute full payment
and final settlement of all claims for contract time and for direct, indirect, and consequential
costs, including costs of delays related to any work, either covered or affected by the
change.
14. CLAIMS: If the Contractor disagrees with anything required by a change order, another
written order, or an oral order from the City, including any direction, instruction,
interpretation, or determination by the City, the Contractor may file a claim as provided in
this section. The Contractor shall give written notice to the City of all claims within
fourteen (14) calendar days of the occurrence of the events giving rise to the claims, or
within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date the Contractor knew or should have known
of the facts or events giving rise to the claim, whichever occurs first. Any claim for
damages, additional payment for any reason, or extension of time, whether under this
Agreement or otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to have been waived by the
Contractor unless a timely written claim is made in strict accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement.
At a minimum, a Contractor's written claim shall include the information set forth in
subsections A, items 1 through 5 below.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE, WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM

incurred as a result of the asserted events giving rise to the claim. The City shall have
access to any of the Contractor's records needed for evaluating the protest.
The City will evaluate all claims, provided the procedures in this section are followed. If
the City determines that a claim is valid, the City will adjust payment for work or time by
an equitable adjustment. No adjustment will be made for an invalid protest.
C. Contractor's Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any claim, the
Contractor shall proceed promptly to provide the goods, materials and services required by
the City under this Agreement.
D. Failure to Protest Constitutes Waiver. By not protesting as this section
provides, the Contractor also waives any additional entitlement and accepts from the City
any written or oral order (including directions, instructions, interpretations, and
determination).
E. Failure to Follow Procedures Constitutes Waiver. By failing to follow the
procedures of this section, the Contractor completely waives any claims for protested work
and accepts from the City any written or oral order (including directions, instructions,
interpretations, and determination).

LAWSUIT ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN

reasonable attorney's fees, by reason of successful bidder's violation of this paragraph.
18. EMPLOYMENT OF STATE RETIREES: The City is a "DRS-covered employer" which

administered by the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS). Pursuant
to RCW 41.50.139(1) and WAC 415-02-325(1), the City is required to elicit on a written
form if any of the Contractor's employees providing services to the City retired using the
2008 Early Retirement Factors (ERFs), or if the Contractor is owned by an individual who
retired using the 2008 ERFs, and whether the nature of the service and compensation would
result in a retirement benefit being suspended. Failure to make this determination exposes
the City to significant liability for pension overpayments. As a result, before commencing
work under this Agreement, Contractor shall determine whether any of its employees
providing services to the City or any of the Contractor's owners retired using the 2008
ERFs, and shall immediately notify the City and shall promptly complete the form provided
by the City after this notification is made. This notification to DRS could impact the
payment of retirement benefits to employees and owners of Contractor. Contractor shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City from any and all claims, damages, or other
liability, including attorneys' fees and costs, relating to a claim by DRS of a pension
overpayment caused by or resulting from Contractor's failure to comply with the terms of
this provision. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

under the following conditions: 1) by mutual written agreement; 2) by the City for breach
by the Contractor of any of the obligations or requirements set forth in the Contract
Documents which would, at the option of the City, require the Contractor to assume
liability for any and all damages, including the excess of re -procuring similar products or
services; 3) for convenience of the City; or 4) by the City for non -appropriation of funds.
a) Termination for Cause. The City may, upon 7 days written notice to Contractor and
to its surety, terminate (without prejudice to any right or remedy of the City) the
contract, or any part of it, for cause upon the occurrence of any one or more of the
following events: Contractor fails to complete the work or any portion thereof with
sufficient diligence to ensure substantial completion of the work within the contract
time; Contractor is adjudged bankrupt, makes a general assignment for the benefit
of its creditors, or a receiver is appointed on account of its insolvency; Contractor

entitled to make a request for an equitable adjustment for its reasonable direct costs

for overhead and profit on work performed prior to termination, plus the reasonable
administrative costs of the termination, but shall not be entitled to any other costs or
damages, whatsoever, provided however, the total sum payable upon termination
shall not exceed the Contract Sum reduced by prior payments.
20. COMPLIANCE WITH TERMS: The City may at any time insist upon strict compliance
with these terms and conditions, notwithstanding any previous custom, practice, or course
of dealing to the contrary.
21. PAYMENT: Contractor shall maintain time and expense records and provide them to the
City along with monthly invoices in a format acceptable to the City for work performed to

22. RETAINAGE: Unless the City waives the retainage requirement in accordance with RCW
39.04.155(2)(f), the City shall, pursuant to the requirements of RCW 60.28.011, retain five

Northwest Tree Service has always operated under the premise that each job that we perform will be done
to the best of our ability. Not just client satisfaction, but client appreciation is what we are after. Every
time a job is completed and a client is smiling, we know that we have accomplished our goal. For every
happy client, there is usually a referral sometime down the road, and that is how NWTS has grown over
the years. "We may have equals out there, but nobody will do a better job than we will."
Tree work is a skilled profession that takes many years to master. Many people do not appreciate the
complexities involved until they have observed the operations. Not only does it involve precision, timing,
strength, and skill, it is necessary to perform all of these functions under extremely dangerous conditions,
in all kinds of weather, without losing focus of your ultimate objective- a happy client.
"We would like to add you to our list of happy clients, so please give us a call!" We have been in business
since 1982 and have a long list of delighted clients for references.
CONDITIONS:
Northwest Tree Service will use the utmost caution and care in the performance of our work, however we
will not be responsible for plants, shrubbery, lawn dents, underground utilities, or septic systems in the
work area. We prefer to be able to get equipment as close to work site as possible, therefore if we are given
permission to drive into a yard we can not assume any liability for damages.
All Trees to be cut are to be designated & marked by property owner. If work is to be done in absence of
property owner, Northwest Tree Service is not responsible for any errors. We will attempt to complete job
as specified in work order.
Tree Ownership: Client warrants that all trees listed are located on clients property, or that client has
obtained permission from the owner to allow NWTS to perform scheduled work. Should any tree be
mistakenly identified, client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless NWTS for any costs or damages.
If NWTS is stopped or delayed for any reason outside of our control, while work is being performed,
client will be billed at the rate of $300/hr. If rescheduling becomes necessary, additional costs may occur.
If we are authorized to do the work and mobilize to job site, there will be a minimum $300 charge for work
stoppage, rescheduling, or cancellation. Please give us the courtesy of a phone call in advance if you no
longer require our services, or need to reschedule for any reason.
Your signature authorizes the work to be completed and agree with the stated conditions.
