or indirectly with more than one Bid will cause rejection of all Bids wherein such Bidder
is concerned. If required, a Bidder shall furnish satisfactory evidence of its competence and
ability to perform the Work stipulated in its Proposal. Incompetence will constitute cause
for rejection. If the Parish determines that the bidder is not responsive or responsible for
any reason whatsoever, the bid may be rejected in accordance with State law.

damage, loss, destruction, damages, costs, fines, penalties, judgments, forfeitures,

Contractor, its owners, agents, employees, partners or subcontractors.
22. Upon notice of any claim, demand, suit, or cause of action against the Parish, alleged to
arise out of or be related to this Contract, Contractor shall investigate, handle, respond to,
provide defense for, and defend at its sole expense, even if the claim, demand, suit, or cause
of action is groundless, false, or fraudulent. The Parish may, but is not required to, consult
with or assist the Contractor, but this assistance shall not affect the Contractor’s
obligations, duties, and responsibilities under this section. Contractor shall obtain the
Parish’s written consent before entering into any settlement or dismissal.
23. It is understood and agreed that neither party can foresee the exigencies beyond the control
of each party which arise by reason of an Act of God or force majeure; therefore, neither
party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance beyond its control resulting
from an Act of God or force majeure. The Parish shall determine whether a delay or failure
results from an Act of God or force majeure based on its review of all facts and
circumstances. The parties shall use reasonable efforts, including but not limited to, use of
continuation of operations plans (COOP), business continuity plans, and disaster recovery
plans, to eliminate or minimize the effect of such events upon the performance of their
respective duties under this Contract.

and all injury, death, damage, loss, destruction, damages, costs, fines, penalties, judgments,

Parish’s act or failure to act.

copyright, and patent rights.
When a dispute or claim arises relative to a real or anticipated infringement, the Contractor,
at its sole expense, shall submit information and documentation, including formal patent
attorney opinions, as required by the Parish.
If the use of the product, material, service, or any component thereof is enjoined for any
reason or if the Contractor believes that it may be enjoined, Contractor, while ensuring
appropriate migration and implementation, data integrity, and minimal delays of
performance, shall at its sole expense and in the following order of precedence: (i) obtain
for the Parish the right to continue using such product, material, service, or component
thereof; (ii) modify the product, material, service, or component thereof so that it becomes
a non-infringing product, material, or service of at least equal quality and performance;
(iii) replace the product, material, service, or component thereof so that it becomes a non-
infringing product, material, or service of at least equal quality and performance; or, (iv)
provide the Parish monetary compensation for all payments made under the Contract
Version 2025.1
related to the infringing product, material, service, or component, plus for all costs incurred
to procure and implement a non-infringing product, material, or service of at least equal
quality and performance. Until this obligation has been satisfied, the Contractor remains in
default.
The Contractor shall not be obligated to indemnify that portion of a claim or dispute based

27. Each Bidder shall visit the site of the proposed Work and fully acquaint itself with all
surface and subsurface conditions as they may exist so that it may fully understand this
Contract. Bidder shall also thoroughly examine and be familiar with drawings,
Specifications and Contract Documents. The failure or omission of any Bidder to receive
or examine any form, instrument, Drawing or document or to visit the site and acquaint
itself with existing conditions shall in no way relieve any Bidder from any obligation with
respect to its Bid and the responsibility in the premises.
28. The standard contract form enclosed with the Proposal documents is a prototype. It is
enclosed with the Contract Documents for the guidance of the Owner and the Contractor.
It has important legal consequences in all respects and consultation with an attorney is
encouraged. Contractor shall be presumed to have consulted with its own independent legal
counsel.
29. When one set of Contract plans show the Work to be performed by two or more prime
Contractors, it is the responsibility of each Bidder to become knowledgeable of the Work
to be performed by the other where the Work upon which this bid is submitted is shown to
come into close proximity or in conflict with the Work of the other. In avoiding conflicts,
pressure pipe lines must be installed to avoid conflict with gravity pipe lines and the Bidder

his Bid the cost of a conflict box at these locations. The location of and a solution to the
conflicts do not have to be specifically noted as such on the plans.

Owner the required Bonds.
38. Failure of the successful Bidder to execute the Contract and deliver the required Bonds
within ten (10) days of the Notice of the Award shall be just cause for the Owner to annul

subsequently remove its agency or representative from the State or become insolvent,
bankrupt, or otherwise fail, the Contractor shall immediately furnish a new Bond in another
company approved by the Owner, at no cost to the Owner. The new Bond shall be executed
under the same terms and conditions as the original Bond. The new bond shall be submitted
within thirty (30) days of such time as the Owner notifies Contractor or from the time
Contractor learns or has reason to know that the original surety is no longer financially
viable or acceptable to the Parish, whichever occurs first. In the event that Contractor fails
or refuses to timely secure additional surety, then the Owner may secure such surety and
thereafter deduct such cost or expense from any sum due, or to become due to Contractor.
43. The Contractor's bondsman shall obligate itself to all the terms and covenants of these
Specifications and of contracts covering the Work executed hereunder. The Owner reserves
the right to do Extra Work or make changes by altering, adding to deducting from the Work

Contractor's surety and without in any manner affecting the liability of bondsman or
releasing it from any of its obligations hereunder.
44. The Bond shall also secure for the Owner the faithful performance of the Contract in strict
accordance with plans, specifications, and other Contract Documents. It shall protect the
Owner against all lien laws of the State and shall provide for payment of reasonable
attorney's fees for enforcement of Contract and institution or concursus proceedings, if
such proceedings become necessary. Likewise, it shall provide for all additional expenses
of the Owner occurring through failure of the Contractor to perform.
45. The surety of the Contractor shall be and does hereby declare and acknowledge itself by
acceptance to be bound to the Owner as a guarantor, jointly and in solido, with the
Contractor, for fulfillment of terms of the Contract.

his agents, representatives, employees, and/or subcontractors. The cost of such insurance
shall be included in Contractor’s bid.
Version 2025.1
49. The Contractor shall not commence work until it has obtained all insurance as required for
the Parish Project. If the Contractor fails to furnish the Parish with the insurance protection
required and begins work without first furnishing Parish with a currently dated certificate
of insurance, the Parish has the right to obtain the insurance protection required and deduct
the cost of insurance from the first payment due the Contractor. Further deductions are
permitted from future payments as are needed to protect the interests of the Parish
including, but not limited to, renewals of all policies.
