correlative and constitute Contractor's performance obligations. The provisions of the Public
Works Department Special Provisions ("Special Provisions") shall take precedence over any
conflicting provisions in the Standard Specifications and the specific terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control and have precedence over any contradictory or inconsistent terms or
Contract,Page I
conditions included in any of the Contract Documents and shall be controlling in questions of
interpretation.
2. Agency shall pay Contractor the Contract Price of fifteen thousand eight hundred
seventy-five Dollars ($15,875.00) which includes all California sales or use tax and County and
City taxes, for the performance of all of the Work according to the terms and conditions

and may be deducted from payments due Contractor if such delay occurs.

and above the Contract Price, unless prior written approval for the same has been granted by
Agency.
