Any manufacturing duration that falls during these months shall add two weeks to the manufacturing time. Delivery times may be extended due to delays caused by measures undertaken to stop the spreading of the Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) epidemic, availability of personnel, logistics providers, and supply chains. Notice to commence on site 2 weeks Prior to starting the installation, KONE requires a two-week notice to and site check inspect the site to ensure it fulfils the requirements set by KONE for commencing installation. Site Check will be performed in the two weeks before installation begins.

Reproducing, copying, disclosing, adapting, publishing, or distributing this proposal or the attachments, in whole or part, is prohibited. Copyright © 2020 KONE Inc. All rights reserved. Completion The price is based on KONE completing its work by June 30, 2022, and a material manufacturing start, no later than six months from the date of this Proposal. The standard wage rate is assumed. If KONE's on-site work is not completed in the above calendar year (due to delays by others), you will be responsible for the labor rate increase that occurs on January 1st of each following year. Storage/delivery/remobilization This Proposal is based on the site being handed over to KONE in accordance with KONE Site Safety Requirements, per Bid Attachment “B,” on the agreed dates. Any changes to such dates are considered a change to the schedule and KONE shall be entitled to an extension of time and to recover all costs related to such changes and an extension of time. If the Site Requirements are not complete, KONE will not deliver the unit equipment to the job site. If KONE is unable to unload at the jobsite on the scheduled date and commence installation immediately, additional costs for off-site storage ($1,600 / month per unit) and labor for double handling of the materials ($4,000) shall be paid to KONE via a Change Order. Should KONE be required to demobilize, through no fault of its own, due to any suspension or work stoppage, and after material is delivered to the jobsite a charge of $4,000 per crew shall be paid to KONE via a Change Order for each remobilization. Customer shall also store and protect the materials and equipment onsite or at a storage facility reasonably acceptable to KONE at Customer’s sole risk and cost. If KONE is not able to commence installation on the agreed upon material delivery date or if KONE’s work cannot be performed in an uninterrupted manner, labor may be reallocated to other projects and may not be available to reallocate to this project for several weeks. KONE is not responsible for any delay to the project resulting from labor reallocation because of Site Requirements not being complete by the material delivery date. Phone This proposal includes one standard, hands-free ADA compliant speakerphone per cab. It will automatically dial to a determined location. A KONE Care – Emergency Phone Monitoring or Wireless Phone service agreement must be completed, (either accepting or denying KONE’s monitoring service) two weeks prior to final inspection. Inspections This Proposal includes one final inspection by the elevator code authority, per elevator, during normal working hours. Prior to scheduling the elevator final inspection with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), building life safety including fire alarm and dedicated phone lines for each elevator must be fully operational. If the final inspection fails due to KONE’s sole responsibility, KONE shall pay for the cost of re-inspection(s). Should re-inspection be required due to deficiencies by others, you will be responsible for the cost of re-inspection(s). All other testing will be provided for additional cost at normal KONE billing rates. During the final testing, a representative of the fire-life-safety contractors will be required (at no cost to KONE) while testing the elevators. No overtime has been included in this Proposal. Changes to the work KONE shall not be required to proceed with any Customer requested change to its Work (“Extra Work”) until such Extra Work is evidenced in a mutually acceptable Change Order and signed by both parties. This includes, but is not limited to, any changes or revisions, accelerations, resequencing, suspension of KONE’s schedule of Work or other delays outside of KONE’s control. However, should KONE agree to proceed with Extra Work pursuant to a Construction Change Directive or Field Order without a fully executed Change Order, such agreement by KONE is conditioned on the Extra Work being converted promptly to a fully executed Change Order. KONE shall not be obligated to continue performance of Extra Work if the estimated value of unexecuted Change Orders exceeds 10% of the Agreement Price, or if there is a reasonable safety concern, a product limitation, or it is unreasonable to proceed. No action by KONE, including but not limited to KONE performing Extra Work without an executed Change Order, shall be construed to be a waiver of Subcontractor’s right to seek payment for the Extra Work performed, or to obtain a Change Order at a later date. Customer shall remain directly liable to KONE for payment for changed or Extra Work ordered by the Customer for delays caused by Customer or others subordinated to Customer. www.kone.us Morgantown Police Department MONO500 9(13) 27 Item 10E.
