CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION Construction and renovation projects for a state, local, territorial, or Tribal government’s principal Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as defined by the State Administrative Agency are allowable under the EMPG Program. Written approval must be provided by FEMA prior to the use of any EMPG Program funds for construction or renovation. Requests for EMPG Program funds for construction of an EOC must be accompanied by an EOC Investment Justification (located in the Related Documents tab of the EMPG xxxxxx.xxx posting) to their Regional EMPG Manager for review. Additionally, recipients are required to submit a SF-424C Form and Budget detail citing the project costs. When applying for funds to construct communication towers Sub-Recipients must submit evidence that the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Section 106 review process has been completed and submit all documentation resulting from that review to Grants Program Directorate (GPD) prior to submitting materials for EHP review. Sub-Recipients are also encouraged to have completed as many steps as possible for a successful EHP review in support of their proposal for funding (e.g., coordination with their State Historic Preservation Office to identify potential historic preservation issues and to discuss the potential for project effects, compliance with all state and EHP laws and requirements). Projects for which the Sub-Recipient believes an Environmental Assessment (EA) may be needed, as defined in as defined in DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Revision 01, FEMA Directive 108-1 and FEMA Instruction 108-1-1, must also be identified to the FEMA EMPG Regional Program Manager within six months of the award, and completed EHP review materials must be submitted no later than 12 months before the end of the period of performance. EHP review packets should be sent to xxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx. EMPG Program Sub-Recipients using funds for construction projects must comply with the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141 et seq.). Grant Sub-Recipients must ensure that their contractors or subcontractors for construction projects pay workers no less than the prevailing wages for laborers and mechanics employed on projects of a character similar to the contract work in the civil subdivision of the state in which the work is to be performed. Additional information regarding compliance with the Xxxxx- Xxxxx Act, including Department of Labor (DOL) wage determinations, is available from the following website: xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/whd/govcontracts/dbra.htm In general, Sub-Recipients should consult with their Grant Manager prior to making any investment that does not clearly meet the allowable expense criteria established in this Guidance.

Lessee shall complete construction of the new improvements within one (1) year after the Effective Date of this Lease. Existing improvements shall be deemed to have been appropriately constructed so long as they are well-maintained and meet all applicable city code and FAA requirements. It is expressly understood that upon the expiration of the Lease, all hangar improvements shall become property of Lessor.
8.1 Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for the apportioned costs of roadway improvements including, but not limited to: excavation, paving, drainage, and fencing required for all extensions of the access road to the Leased Premises. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of all extensions, as applicable, of all water, sewer, and other utilities to the Leased Premises, as well as any fees for obtaining service. Lessee shall be responsible for payment at the time improvements are completed. Lessee shall remit payment to Lessor within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice.

8.4 The provisions provided above do not relieve Lessee from compliance with all applicable building code requirements and acquiring all necessary licenses and permits from any governmental authority.
8.5 If the aircraft hangar or other improvements on the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed, Lessee shall do whatever is necessary to repair, rebuild, or restore the structure and other improvements to substantially the same condition existing prior to the damage or destruction within 180 days of the date of destruction. Upon written request from Lessee, Lessor may extend the 180-day timeline to the extent reasonably necessary due to conditions beyond the control of Lessee.
DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES (A) If, during the term of this Lease, the Leased Premises are totally or partially destroyed by fire or the elements, so as to render the premises wholly unfit for occupancy, or make it impossible in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator knowledgeable in the child care business reasonably acceptable to Lessee and Lessor, for Lessee to conduct its business therein, then either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease from the date of such damage or destruction by giving written notice. The parties agree to use reasonable promptness to obtain the opinion of such licensed third party arbitrator. Upon the giving of such notice, Lessee shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises and all interest therein to Lessor, and in case of any such termination, Lessor may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises and may dispossess all parties then in possession thereof. If not otherwise terminated, in the event the Leased Premises shall be repaired, restored, and rebuilt by Lessee with the use of insurance proceeds (which Lessor shall cooperate to make available), but otherwise at its own sole cost and expense, within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of destruction (subject to force majuere as set forth in paragraph C hereof, then all rents payable by Lessee shall be abated during the period of repair and restoration to the extent Lessor shall be compensated by the proceeds of rents loss insurance. In no event shall Lessor be required to provide its own money for the repair or restoration of the Leased Premises other than the net proceeds of moneys received by it from any insurance policy or policies covering such loss or damages. Lessee shall be liable for repair of the Leased Premises with all reasonable speed, and the rents shall recommence on the date that the repairs are completed. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so repair during the last five (5) years of the term of the Lease, or as extended, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above.
(B) If the damage does not, in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator reasonably acceptable to Lessee and Lessor, render the Leased Premises unfit for occupancy, then Lessor agrees that the damage shall be repaired as soon as practicable and in that case, Lessee shall pay full rent during the repair period. All repairs shall be paid for by Lessee out of any insurance proceeds received (which Lessor shall cooperate to make available), but if the insurance proceeds are insufficient to rebuild or repair the Leased Premises according to the original plans and specifications, whether repair or restoration is commenced pursuant to paragraph A or B hereof, then Lessee agrees to pay all additional amounts that are required to rebuild the building in accordance with the original plans and specifications. All improvements or betterments placed by Lessee on the demised premises shall, however, in any event, be repaired and replaced by Lessee at its own expense and not at the expense of Lessor. The purpose of this Article is to require Lessee to carry insurance coverage on the Leased Premises sufficient to rebuild the improvements in the event of damage or destruction. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so rebuild during the last five (5) years of the term, as extended, as the case may be, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above. Risk that the insurance company shall be insolvent or shall refuse to make insurance proceeds available shall be with Lessee. The Leased Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt so as to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. If the insurance proceeds are less than $100,000 they shall be paid to Lessee for such repair and restoration. If the insurance proceeds are greater than or equal to $100,000 they shall be deposited by Lessee and Lessor into a customary construction escrow at a nationally recognized title insurance company, or at Lessee's option, with Lessor ("Escrowee") and shall be made available from time to time to Lessee for such repair and restoration. Such proceeds shall be disbursed in conformity with the terms and conditions of a commercially reasonable construction loan agreement. Lessee shall, in either instance, deliver to Lessor or Escrowee (as the case may be) satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of completion together with such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as the Lessor or Escrowee may reasonably require and approve. If the estimated cost of the work exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), all plans and specifications for such rebuilding or restoration shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lessor.
(C) Lessee shall comply with the time period stated above for restoration of the Leased Premises as set forth in this Article; provided, however, that said period of time shall be extended for a period or periods of time equal to any period or periods of delay caused by strikes, lockouts, fire, or other casualty, the elements, acts of God, delay by or refusal or failure of governmental authorities to grant necessary permits and approvals for the reconstruction of the Leased Premises (Lessee agreeing to use reasonable diligence to procure the same), or other causes other than financial, beyond Lessee's reasonable control or the reasonable control of Lessee's contractor.
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES a. In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils or casualty covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, repair or rebuild the same within a reasonable time after the event causing such damage. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the rent from the date of damage and while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs shall reasonably interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises as determined by Landlord. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, there shall be no reduction of rent. Landlord may authorize or direct construction of an alternative structure or may elect to retain any insurance proceeds received by it if Landlord deems reconstruction or construction of an alternative structure to be impractical or unreasonable in its sole discretion.
b. In the event the Premises are damaged to any extent as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall in its sole discretion have the option to: (1.) to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises within a reasonable time of the event causing the damage, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the rent shall be proportionately reduced as provided above in 11a. during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration, or (2.) to give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60) days after such damage occurs, terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of giving to Tenant such notice of termination, this Lease shall terminate and all interests of Tenant in the Premises shall cease on the date so specified in such notice and Tenant shall pay the rent, as proportionately reduced, based upon the extent, if any, to which such damage interfered with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, up to the date of such termination.
c. With regard to Landlord’s duty or option to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises within a reasonable time of the event causing the damage as provided in 11a. and b. above, Landlord shall act promptly and with due diligence, but Landlord shall not be responsible for delays caused by factors beyond Landlord’s control, including but not limited to delays because of strikes, work slowdowns or stoppages, accidents, acts of God, failure of any governmental or other authority to act in a timely manner, or delays caused by contractors. If such delays occur, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for damages, nor shall Landlord be deemed to be in default under this Lease.
d. Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage by fire or other casualty, or to make any repair or replacements of any leasehold improvements, fixtures, or other personal property of Tenant.
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.
