delivered to the COUNTY upon demand. Sums claimed due by the CONTRACTOR shall not be paid

specified), an adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of the Contract
(excluding profit) caused by the unreasonable suspension, delay, or interruption, and the contract will be

CONTRACTOR for a delay for which the COUNTY is responsible, which is unreasonable under the
circumstances and which was not within the contemplation of the parties to the contract, shall be
negotiated between CONTRACTOR and the COUNTY. This provision shall be construed so as to give
fall effect to any provision in the contract which requires notice of delays, provides for neutral evaluation
and arbitration or other procedure for settlement, or provides for liquidated damages.

Federal, State and local ordinances and regulations. CONTRACTOR'S signature on this contract

ARTICLE );IX — ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Scope. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere in the Contract, the alternative
dispute resolution ("ADR") process provided herein shall be the exclusive means for resolution of claims
or disputes arising under or related to the Contract, the interpretation thereof or the performance or breach
by any party thereto, including but not limited to original claims or disputes asserted as cross claims,
counterclaims, third party claims or claims for indemnity or subrogation, in any threatened or ongoing
litigation or arbitration with third parties, if such disputes involve parties to contracts containing this ADR
provision. No changes can be made to this process without the mutual assent of the County and the
claimant. The parties have structured this procedure with the goal of providing for the prompt, efficient
and final resolution of all disputes falling within the purview of this ADR process.
Meeting of Principals. When a claim is made or a dispute (hereafter "dispute") as described in Paragraph
1.1 arises, senior representatives of the County and the claimant will meet personally within ten (10)
business days to discuss the dispute and attempt to resolve it. If; after good faith efforts, resolution is not
achieved, the dispute will proceed to mediation.
Qualifications of Mediator and Arbitrators. Any person selected as mediator or arbitrator, either as single
arbitrator as a member or Chair of the arbitration panel, shall be a member of the State Bar of Arizona and
have experience in construction law.
Mediation. If the parties have been unable to resolve the dispute after a meeting of principals, the parties
may enter into mediation. The parties shall jointly select a mediator. The parties may mutually agree to
waive mediation and proceed directly to arbitration. If the mediation process is requested by either party,
the mediation period shall be informal and shall not exceed sixty (60) calendar days from the selection of
the mediator. During the mediation process either party may terminate mediation on written notice to the
other party and the mediator.
Binding Arbitration Procedure. The following binding arbitration procedure shall serve as the exclusive
method to resolve a dispute if mediation is unsuccessful, if mediation has been waived by the parties, or if
a party requests arbitration during the mediation process. Except as provided in Section 1.7.5 and 1.7.9,
the decision of the arbitrator or arbitrator panel is final and binding on the parties and not subject to
further judicial review.
A party requesting binding arbitration shall notify the other party of their demand for arbitration in
writing within seven (7) calendar days of (1) the failure of mediation; (2) waiver of mediation; or (3) of
the party's demand to terminate mediation.
If the Contractor requests arbitration it shall post a cash bond with the arbitrator in an amount agreed upon
by the parties or, in the event of no agreement, the arbitrator shall establish the amount of the cash bond to
deflay the cost of the arbitration and the proceeds from the bond shall be allocated in accordance with
paragraph 1.7.7. The bond must be in the full amount agreed upon or as established by the Arbitrator to
pay the potential cost of the full arbitration proceeding. The bond must be posted with and received by
the arbitrator within five (5) calendar days after the demand for arbitration.

Disputes involving less than $200,000 shall be heard by one single arbitrator chosen by agreement of the
parties. If the parties cannot agree on the single arbitrator, then the parties shall each submit two names to
a Judge designated by Maricopa County who shall select the single arbitrator.
For disputes in excess of $200,000, the arbitration panel shall consist of three arbitrators: the County's
appointed arbitrator, the Contractor's appointed arbitrator and a third arbitrator who shall be selected by
the parties' arbitrators and serve as the Chair of the arbitration panel.
The arbitration is to be convened and administered under the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act ("RUAA")
(A.R.S. § 12-3001 et seq.) and the American Arbitration Association Construction Rules shall serve as a
guideline for proceedings, thus as a supplement to the RUAA.
Expedited Hearing. Any party can request the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel to set
an expedited hearing. If the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel determines that the
circumstances justify it, the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel will arrange for
scheduling of the arbitration at the earliest possible date. In any event, the hearing of any dispute not
expedited will commence as soon as practical but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after
notification of request for arbitration having been received. This deadline can be extended only with the
consent of all the parties to the dispute, or by decision of the single arbitrator or the Chair of the
arbitration panel upon a showing of good cause.
Procedure. The single arbitrator or the arbitration panel will conduct the hearing in such a manner that
will resolve disputes in a prompt, cost efficient manner giving regard to the rights of all parties. Each
party shall supply to the single arbitrator or arbitration panel a written pre-hearing statement which shall
contain a brief statement of the nature of the claim or defense, a list of witnesses and exhibits, a brief
description of the subject matter of the testimony of each witness who will be called to testify, and an
estimate as to the length of time that will be required for the arbitration hearing. The single arbitrator or
the Chair of the arbitration panel shall determine the nature and scope of discovery, if any, and the
manner of presentation of relevant evidence consistent with deadlines provided herein, and the parties'
objective that disputes be resolved in a prompt and efficient manner. No discovery may be had of any
materials or information for which a privilege is recognized by Arizona law. The single arbitrator or the
Chair upon proper application shall issue such orders as may be necessary and permissible under law to
protect confidential, proprietary or sensitive materials or information from public disclosure or other
misuse. Any party may make application to the Maricopa County Superior Court to have a protective
order entered as may be appropriate to confirm or enforce such orders of the Chair.
Hearing Days. In order to effectuate parties' goals, the hearing once commenced, will proceed from
working day to working day until concluded, absent a showing of good cause.
Award. The single arbitrator shall within ten (10) calendar days of the conclusion of a hearing issue an
award. The arbitration panel shall, within ten (10) calendar days from the conclusion of any hearing, by
majority vote, issue its award. The award shall include an allocation of fees and costs pursuant to 1.7.7
herein. The award is to be in accordance with the Contract and the law of the State of Arizona.
Scope of Award. Regardless of the provisions of the RUAA, the arbitration panel shall be without
authority to award punitive damages, and any such punitive damage award shall be void. If an award is
made against any party in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), exclusive of interest,
arbitration fees, costs and attorneys' fees, it shall be supported by written findings of fact, conclusions of
law and a statement as to how damages were calculated.
Jurisdiction. The arbitration panel shall not be bound for jurisdictional purposes by the amount asserted
in any party's claim, but shall conduct a preliminary hearing into the question of jurisdiction over the
East Courts Building Renovation, 1st & 2nd Floors Serial # 180031-DBB
Request for Bids - Design Bid Build Pg. #7

claim as regards its amount upon application of any party at the earliest convenient time, but not later than
the commencement of the arbitration hearing. If the dispute is determined to involve less than $200,000,
the arbitration shall continue before the Neutral Arbitrator as a single arbitrator, with the party appointed
arbitrators being excused.
Entry of Judgment. As provided in the RUAA, any party can make application to the Maricopa County
Superior Court for confirmation of an award, and for entry ofjudgment on it.
Severance and Joinder. To reduce the possibility of inconsistent adjudications, the Mediator or the single
arbitrator or arbitration panel, may: (i) at the request of any party, join and/or sever parties, and/or claims
arising under other contracts containing this ADR provision, and (ii) the Mediator, on his own authority,
or the single arbitrator or arbitration panel may, on its own authority, join or sever parties and/or claims
subject to this ADR process as deemed necessary for a just resolution of the dispute, consistent with the
parties' goal of the prompt and efficient resolution of disputes, provided; however, that the A/E, OWNER
and Project Professionals shall not be joined as a party to any claim made by a Contractor. Nothing
herein shall create the right by any party to assert claims against another party not arising under or related
to the Contract or not recognized under the substantive law as applicable to the dispute. Neither the
Mediator nor the single arbitrator or arbitration panel is authorized to join to the proceeding parties not in
privity with the County. The Contractor cannot be joined to any pending arbitration proceeding, without
Contractor's express written consent and unless Contractor is given the opportunity to participate in the
selection of the single arbitrator or non-County appointed arbitrator.
Fees and Costs. Each party shall bear its own fees and costs in connection with any informal hearing
before the mediation. All fees and costs associated with any arbitration before the single panel or
arbitration panel, including without limitation the arbitrator fees, and the prevailing party's reasonable
attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and costs, will be paid by the non-prevailing party, except as provided
for herein. In the event that Contractor is the non-prevailing party, all fees and costs as noted above shall
first be paid out of the bond posted with the arbitrator. In no event shall the Contractor's obligation to
pay fees and costs be limited to the amount of the bond posted herein. In no event shall any arbitrator's
hourly fees be awarded in an amount in excess of $250 per hour and (i) costs shall not include any travel
expenses in excess of mileage at the rate paid by Maricopa County, not to exceed a one way trip of 150
miles, and (ii) all travel expenses, including meals, shall be reimbursed pursuant to the travel policy of
Maricopa County in effect at the time of the hearing. The determination of prevailing and non-prevailing
parties, and the appropriate allocation of fees and costs, will be included in the award by the single
arbitrator or arbitration panel.
Confidentiality. Any proceeding initiated under this ADR provision shall be deemed confidential to the
maximum extent allowed by Arizona law and, except for disclosures to a party's attorneys or accountants,
no party shall make any disclosure related to the disputed matter or to the outcome of any proceeding
except to the extent required by law, or to seek interim equitable relief, or to enforce an agreement
reached by the parties or an award made hereunder. This provision does not affect the County's right to
inform the County Supervisors of the dispute.
Equitable Litigation. Notwithstanding any other provision of ADR to the contrary, any party can petition
the Maricopa County Superior Court for interim equitable relief as may become necessary to preserve the
status quo and prevent immediate and irreparable harm to a party or to the Project pending resolution of a
dispute pursuant to ADR provided herein. No court may order any permanent injunctive relief except as
may be necessary to enforce an order entered by the arbitration panel. The fees and costs incurred in
connection with any such equitable proceeding shall be determined and assessed in ADR.

Change Order. Any award in favor of the Contractor against the County or in favor of the County against
the Contractor shall be reduced to a Change Order and executed by the parties in accordance with the
award and the provisions of the Contract or a settlement agreement as appropriate.
Merger and Bar. Any claim asserted pursuant to this ADR process shall be deemed to include all claims,
demands, and requests for compensation for costs and losses or other relief, including the extension of the
Contract performance period which reasonably should or could have been brought against any party that
was or could have been brought into this ADR process, with respect to the subject claim. The arbitration
panel shall apply legal principles commonly known as merger and bar to deny any claim or claims against
any party regarding which claim or claims recovery has been sought or should have been sought in a
previously adjudicated claim for an alleged cost, loss, breach, error, or omission.
Inclusion in Other Contracts. The Contractor shall cooperate with the County in efforts to include this
ADR provision in all other Project contracts.
