Construction of the Project Highway (i) The Contractor shall construct the Project Highway as specified in Schedule- B and Schedule-C, and in conformity with the Specifications and Standards set forth in Schedule-D. The Contractor shall be responsible for the correct positioning of all parts of the Works, and shall rectify any error in the positions, levels, dimensions or alignment of the Works. The [650th (six hundred and fiftieth) day] from the Appointed Date shall be the scheduled completion date (the “Scheduled Completion Date”) and the Contractor agrees and undertakes that the construction shall be completed on or before the Scheduled Completion Date, including any extension thereof.
(ii) The Contractor shall construct the Project Highway in accordance with the Project Completion Schedule set forth in Schedule-J. In the event that the Contractor fails to achieve any Project Milestone or the Scheduled Completion Date within a period of 30 (thirty) days from the date set forth in Schedule-J, unless such failure has occurred due to Force Majeure or for reasons solely attributable to the Authority, it shall pay Damages to the Authority of a sum calculated at the rate of 0.05% (zero point zero five percent) of the Contract Price for delay of each day reckoned from the date specified in Schedule –J and until such Project Milestone is achieved or the Project Highway is completed; provided that if the period for any or all Project Milestones or the Scheduled Completion Date is extended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the dates set forth in Schedule-J shall be deemed to be modified accordingly and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply as if Schedule-J has been amended as above; provided further that in the event the Project Highway is completed within or before the Scheduled Completion Date including any Time Extension, applicable for that work or section, the Damages paid under this Clause 10.3 (ii) shall be refunded by the Authority to the Contractor, but without any interest thereon. The Parties agree that for determining achievement or delays in completion of the Project Milestones or the Project on the due date, the works affected due to delay in providing the site for which time extension has been granted beyond the Scheduled Completion Date will be excluded. For example on the due date to achieve the Project Milestone-I (i.e., Stage Payments of 10% (ten percent) of Contract Price on 180th (one hundred and eighty) day from the Appointed Date), if 5% (five percent) of the project length corresponding to the Project Milestone-I is not handed over or lately handed over resulting in the extension of completion of this 5% (five percent) length beyond Scheduled Completion Date, Stage Payment of 10% X 0.95 = 9.5% only is to be achieved by 180th (one hundred and eighty) day. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that recovery of Damages under this Clause 10.3 (ii) shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Authority under this Agreement including the right of Termination thereof. The Parties further agree that Time Extension hereunder shall only be reckoned for and in respect of the affected Works as specified in Clause 10.5 (ii).
(iii) The Authority shall notify the Contractor of its decision to impose Damages in pursuance with the provisions of this Clause 10.3. Provided that no deduction on account of Damages shall be effected by the Authority without notifying the Contractor of its decision to impose the Damages, and taking into consideration the representation, if any, made by the Contractor within 20 (twenty) days of such notice. The Parties expressly agree that the total amount of Damages under Clause 10.3 (ii) shall not exceed 10% (ten percent) of the Contract Price. If the damages exceed 10% (ten percent) of the Contract Price, the Contractor shall be deemed to be in default of this agreement having no cure and the Authority shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by issuing a Termination Notice in accordance with the provisions of Clause 23.1 (ii).
(iv) In the event that the Contractor fails to achieve the Project Completion within a period of 90 (ninety) days from the Schedule Completion Date set forth in Schedule-J, unless such failure has occurred due to Force Majeure or for reasons solely attributable to the Authority, the contractor shall be deemed to be ineligible for bidding any future projects of the Authority, both as the sole party or as one of the parties of Joint Venture/ Consortium during the period from Scheduled Completion Date to issuance of Completion Certificate. This restriction is applicable if the contract value of the delayed project is not less than Rs. 300 Crore.
Suspension of unsafe Construction Works (i) Upon recommendation of the Authority’s Engineer to this effect, the Authority may by notice require the Contractor to suspend forthwith the whole or any part of the Works if, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority’s Engineer, such work threatens the safety of the Users and pedestrians.
(ii) The Contractor shall, pursuant to the notice under Clause 11.17 (i), suspend the Works or any part thereof for such time and in such manner as may be specified by the Authority and thereupon carry out remedial measures to secure the safety of suspended works, the Users and pedestrians. The Contractor may by notice require the Authority’s Engineer to inspect such remedial measures forthwith and make a report to the Authority recommending whether or not the suspension hereunder may be revoked. Upon receiving the recommendations of the Authority’s Engineer, the Authority shall either revoke such suspension or instruct the Contractor to carry out such other and further remedial measures as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Authority, and the procedure set forth in this Clause 11.17 shall be repeated until the suspension hereunder is revoked.
(iii) Subject to the provisions of Clause 21.6, all reasonable costs incurred for maintaining and protecting the Works or part thereof during the period of suspension (the “Preservation Costs”), shall be borne by the Contractor; provided that if the suspension has occurred as a result of any breach of this Agreement by the Authority, the Preservation Costs shall be borne by the Authority.
(iv) If suspension of Works is for reasons not attributable to the Contractor, the Authority’s Engineer shall determine any Time Extension to which the Contractor is reasonably entitled.
Construction of the Improvements (a) Prior to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s execution of the construction contract (the “Contract”) with a general contractor to be selected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and approved by Landlord (“Contractor”), Tenant shall submit the Contract to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall advise Tenant as soon as reasonably practical, and in all events, within ten (10) business days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the Contract if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s commercially reasonable discretion. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly revise the Contract in accordance with such review and any such disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith. Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Contractor, Tenant or the Construction Manager, which costs form a basis for the amount of the Contract and any other architectural, engineering, design, construction or procurement contracts entered into by or on behalf of Tenant for the design, construction or fit-out of any portion of the Improvements (the “Final Costs”). Prior to the commencement of construction of the Improvements, Tenant shall supply Landlord with cash, an irrevocable letter of credit, or such other financial assurance that is satisfactory to the Landlord in an amount (the “Over- Allowance Amount”) equal to the difference between the amount of the Final Costs and the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any of the then remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that, after the Final Costs have been delivered by Tenant to Landlord, the costs relating to the design and construction of the Improvements shall change, unless, even with such change, the Final Costs are less than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, any additional costs necessary to such design and construction in excess of the Final Costs, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount or at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall make payments for such additional costs out of its own funds, but Tenant shall continue to provide Landlord with the documents described in Section 3.3 below, for Landlord’s approval, prior to Tenant paying such costs. If the total actual costs relating to the design and construction of the Improvements shall be less than the sum of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Over-Allowance Amount, and if the Tenant delivered the Over-Allowance Amount in cash, then the Landlord shall reimburse the Tenant for the amount of such difference, but not more than the Over-Allowance Amount. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 3 to the contrary, construction of the Improvements shall not commence until (a) Landlord has approved the Contract, (b) Tenant has procured and delivered to Landlord a copy of all Permits and Approvals, (c) Tenant has delivered to Landlord the Over-Allowance Amount, and (d) MLB PDL shall have provided written confirmation that the Improvements as shown on the Approved Working Drawings would cause the Ballpark to be in compliance with the PDL Facility Standards; provided that the Ballpark’s compliance with the PDL Facility Standards shall only be confirmed after an official audit has been completed of the Ballpark and the Improvements.
(b) The parties agree that, for the purpose of achieving cost savings, except for structural alterations to the Ballpark, Tenant may seek bids for and procure the Improvements listed on Exhibit D directly rather than under the Contract through the Contractor and involving the Architect.
(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Construction Manager, Contractor, and all subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, and the Contractor and Construction Manager to be known collectively as “Tenant’s Agents”) shall construct the Improvements in strict accordance with the Approved Working Drawings. Tenant shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Improvements to be completed prior to the 2026 Baseball Season. The Improvements shall comply in all respects with the following: (i) all applicable building codes, and other state, federal, city or quasi-governmental laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, as each may apply according to the rulings of the controlling public official, agent or other person; (ii) applicable standards of the American Insurance Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and the National Electrical Code; and
