ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
1.1 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.
1.2 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.
1.3 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.
1.4 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.
1.5 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.
1.5.1 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.
1.5.2 If the Engineer 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 defray 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.
1.5.3 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.
TERM ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT SERIAL NO. I71079-ROQ
Term Electrical Engineering Services Page 31
1.5.4 For disputes in excess of $200,000, the arbitration panel shall consist of three arbitrators: the
County's appointed arbitrator, the Engineer appointed arbitrator and a third arbitrator who
shall be selected by the parties' arbitrators and serve as the Chair of the arbitration panel.
1.5.5 The arbitration is to be convened and administered under the Revised Unifoi in 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.
1.6 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.
1.7 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.
1.7.1 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.
1.7.2 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.
1.7.3 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.
1.7.4 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 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
TERM ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT SERIAL NO. I 71079-ROQ
Term Electrical Engineering Services Page 32
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.
1.7.5 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 of judgment on
it.
1.7.6 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 AJE, OWNER and Project
Professionals shall not be joined as a party to any claim made by a Engineer. 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 Engineer cannot be joined to any
pending arbitration proceeding, without Engineer express written consent and unless Engineer
is given the opportunity to participate in the selection of the single arbitrator or non-County
appointed arbitrator.
1.7.7 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 Engineer 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 Engineer 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.
1.7.8 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.
1.7.9 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.
TERM ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT SERIAL NO. I 71079-R00
Term Electrical Engineering Services Page 33
1.7.10 Change Order. Any award in favor of the Engineer against the County or in favor of the
County against the Engineer 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.
1.7.11 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.
1.8 Inclusion in Other Contracts. The Engineer shall cooperate with the County in efforts to include this
ADR provision in all other Project contracts.

4) Project Cost and Time Savings
Project Cost Controls
We pride ourselves on delivering a quality services within the constraints of the agreed upon
budget by utilizing applicable "Total Quality Management" (TQM) procedures. Each project
undergoes a series of quality checks throughout the design phase. Assessments, reports,
studies, specifications, and probable cost estimates are checked by the task leader, project
manager, and a principal of the firm before they are signed off and presented to the client.
Project cost control activities occur at multiple stages in the typical project design. We develop
a clear understanding of the project goals and expectations at the project's onset then assign
tasks to each milestone of the project. Anticipated hours are assigned to each task. The task
and associated hours spend are reviewed by one of LSW principal's and the project manager at
each task level for general compliance with project goals and budgets. In addition, we like to
have the Owner review the documents at these task levels to ensure their requirements are
being met. In addition to the project manager review, bi-weekly LSW project managers meetings
are held to discuss overall project controls for the entire office. At this time, reallocation of
resources can be made if necessary. Additionally, the project managers meet weekly with their
team members to relay specific project needs. By actively working with all team members we
can seek cost saving measures that will add value to the project and keep the budget in line.
Time Savings - Work Schedule
The first step that must occur in order to ensure we meet the required milestone dates is to
develop a detailed critical path schedule of all the project tasks using Microsoft Project software-
each project and its critical milestones will be scheduled. This will provide the entire team with a
complete snap-shot of required tasks and timeframes necessary for scheduling with stakeholder
groups and to completing each project milestone. During schedule development, we will discuss
and propose any time-saving activates such as staggered project phasing that would shorten
the project schedule. Once the final schedule is solidified, the schedule will be provided to the
assessment team members, the owner, and stakeholders. The schedules will be updated on a
continual basis and tracked as an agenda item at each design meeting.
Approach
Our approach to every project is simple; we provide our clients with the most qualified Project
Engineers and surround them with the best design team possible, based upon the project type,
style and objectives. The design team will work closely with the owner, end user, and facilities
maintenance staff to establish a clear understanding of the project's goals and expectations.
This allows for specific requirements to be programmed into the project from inception. This
also requires a careful analysis of the facility's existing conditions and may necessitate the
phasing of both the design and construction process to ensure uninterrupted operations. Once
a clear design path is established, we work closely with local building authorities and utility
representatives to bring them on-board with our design approach and minimize the potential for
costly conflicts and delays.
