The Contractor will be required to complete the work under the Contract within thirty (30) calendar
days after receipt of a “Notice to Proceed”. The work will have to be scheduled and performed in a
manner that will not interfere with the operations of the facility ongoing in the immediate and adjacent
areas. Work will start no later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of notice to proceed. APA intent
is that work hours will be during normal daylight hours. The contractor will be required to submit a
detailed schedule within 10 days of the “Notice to Proceed” and before work begins.
The Contractor shall comply with all Federal and State laws, local ordinances and regulations, and all
orders and decrees of bodies or tribunals having any jurisdiction or authority, which in any manner
affect those engaged or employed on the work, or which in any way affect the conduct of the work.
The Contractor shall place a competent superintendent on the Project who shall have experience in the
work being performed under the Contract. The assigned superintendent shall have the responsibility for
the day-to-day operations of the work and shall remain on the Project site while the work under the
Contract is being performed.
Time is an essential element in the contract. As the prosecution of the work will inconvenience the
owner and interfere with business, it is important that the work be pressed vigorously to completion.
Also, the cost to the Alabama Port Authority of the administration of the contract, supervision,
inspection and engineering will be increased as the time occupied in the work is lengthened. Therefore,
exclusive of Sundays and national holidays, for each day that the work remains incomplete after the
time specified, an amount of $300.00 shall be paid by the contractor to the Alabama Port Authority as
liquidated damages for the loss sustained by the State because of failure of the contractor to complete
the work within the specified time.

business entity contracting with or providing any grant or incentives to the state, including the Alabama
