CMR recognized or should have recognized such error, omission or discrepancy and failed to report it
to DESIGN PROFESSIONAL.
3.5 DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS:
3.5.1 In the event that during the course of the work, CMR encounters an underground utility
that was not shown on the Contract Documents; or subsurface or concealed conditions at
the Project site which differ materially from those shown on the Contract Documents or
from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the
character called for in the Contract Documents; or unknown physical conditions of the
Project site, of an unusual nature, which differ materially from that ordinarily
encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character called for in
the Contract Documents, CMR, without disturbing the conditions and before performing
any work affected by such conditions, shall, no later than 9:00 a.m. the next day after
their discovery, notify the OWNER and DESIGN PROFESSIONAL in writing of the
existence of the aforesaid conditions. DESIGN PROFESSIONAL shall, within one (1)
business day after receipt of CMR's written notice, investigate the site conditions
identified by the CMR. If, in the opinion of OWNER and DESIGN PROFESSIONAL,
the conditions do materially so differ and cause an increase or decrease in CMR's cost of,
or the time required for, the performance of any part of the work, whether or not charged
as a result of the conditions, DESIGN PROFESSIONAL shall recommend an equitable
adjustment to the contract price, or the Contract Time, or both, which is subject to written
approval by the OWNER. If DESIGN PROFESSIONAL, OWNER, and CMR cannot
agree on an adjustment in the contract price or Contract Time, the adjustment shall be
determined by the OWNER in accordance with Article 28 below.
3.5.2 No request by CMR for an equitable adjustment or change to the contract price or
Contract Time under this provision shall be allowed unless the CMR has given written
notice detailing the facts for such request in a reasonable time (not exceeding thirty (30)
days from when the CMR knew or should have known of such conditions) in accordance
with the provisions of this Section.
3.5.3 No request for an equitable adjustment or change to the contract price or Contract Time
for different site conditions shall be allowed if made after the date certified by DESIGN
PROFESSIONAL as the date of Substantial Completion.
3.6 SUBMITTALS:
3.6.1 CMR shall submit submittals (including but not limited to shop drawings, product
samples, product data, warranties, closeout submittals, reports and photographs) as
required by the General Conditions (Section 00700), General Requirements, and
specifications. The submittals serve as the CMR's coordination documents and
demonstrate the suitability, efficiency, technique of manufacture, installation
requirements, detailing and coordination of specified products, components, assemblies
and systems, and shall evidence compliance or noncompliance with the Contract
Documents. The CMR's submittals are not part of the Contract Documents but are
documents prepared and utilized by the CMR to coordinate the work.
3.6.2 Within ten (10) calendar days after the date of the Notice to Proceed, CMR shall submit
to DESIGN PROFESSIONAL and OWNER a list of all submittals to be required.
Within twenty (20) calendar days of the date of the Notice to Proceed, CMR shall submit
to DESIGN PROFESSIONAL (with a copy to the CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
MANAGER) a comprehensive list of items for which submittals are to be submitted and

submittals. Approval of this list (the Submittal Schedule) by DESIGN PROFESSIONAL
B1X Room Upgrades West Court Building 3301 Serial # 14112-CMR
Contract between Maricopa County and Caliente Construction, Inc. Page # 11
shall in no way relieve CMR from submitting complete and timely submittals as required
by the Contract Documents and providing services, products, materials, equipment,
systems and assemblies, fully in accordance with the Contract Documents.
3.6.3 After the approval of the submittal schedule, CMR shall promptly request submittals
from the various manufacturers, fabricators, and suppliers.
3.6.4 CMR shall thoroughly review and check the submittals and timely submit them to the
DESIGN PROFESSIONAL in accordance with the requirements for such submittals
specified in Division 1 of the specifications. Each submittal and required copy thereof
shall indicate the CMR's review of that submittal in the form required by the Contract
Documents.
3.6.5 The CMR shall maintain a Submittal Log which shall include, at a minimum, the date of
each submittal, the date of any resubmittal, the date of any approval or rejection, and the
reason for any approval or rejection.
3.6.6 If the submittals indicate deviations or departures from the requirements of the Contract
Documents, CMR shall make specific mention thereof in its letter of transmittal. Failure
to point out such deviations or departures shall not relieve CMR from its responsibility to
comply with the Contract Documents.
3.6.7 The DESIGN PROFESSIONAL shall have no duty to review partial or incomplete
submittals except as may be provided otherwise within the Contract Documents.
3.6.8 Provided such Submittals conform to the approved Submittal schedule, CMR shall allow
the DESIGN PROFESSIONAL up to fourteen (14) calendar days from the date received
by the DESIGN PROFESSIONAL for review and approval of the submittals, unless said
Submittals are rejected by DESIGN PROFESSIONAL for material reasons or the
Submittals are of substantial building systems which require more time for thorough
review. DESIGN PROFESSIONAL's approval of Submittals will be general and shall
not relieve CMR of responsibility for the accuracy of such drawings, nor for the proper
fitting and construction of the work, nor for the furnishing of materials or work required
by the Contract Documents. No work for which submittals are required shall be
performed until said Submittals have been approved by DESIGN PROFESSIONAL.
Approval shall not relieve CMR from responsibility for errors or omissions on the
Submittals or for compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
3.6.9 No review or approval will be given to partial Submittals for items, which interconnect
and/or are interdependent where necessary to properly evaluate the Submittal. It is
CMR's responsibility to assemble the Submittals for all such interconnecting and/or
interdependent items, check them and then make one Submittal to DESIGN
PROFESSIONAL along with its comments as to compliance, noncompliance, or features
requiring special attention.
3.6.10 Additional information provided by the CMR on any Submittal shall be typewritten or
lettered in ink.
3.6.11 CMR shall submit the number of copies required by the Contract Documents plus the
number required by jurisdictional authorities (when submittals are to be made to such
authorities). Resubmissions of Submittals shall be made in the same quantity until final
approval is obtained from DESIGN PROFESSIONAL.
3.6.12 CMR shall keep one set of DESIGN PROFESSIONAL approved Submittals at the
Project site at all times.

responsibilities of OWNER and CMR for security, operation, safety, maintenance, utilities,
damage to the work, insurance, and warranties; shall list all work yet to be completed
(Punch List) to satisfy the requirements of the Contract Documents for Final Completion.
The failure to include any items of corrective work on such list does not alter the
responsibility of CMR to complete all of the work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER, after execution by CMR, and DESIGN
PROFESSIONAL, indicating their written acceptance of such certificate.
6.3 NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME OR CONTRACT PRICE:

related thereto, both as to time and costs.
6.4 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS:
6.4.1 OWNER shall have the right, at its sole option, to take possession of and use of any
completed or partially completed portions of the Project. Such possession and use shall
not be deemed an acceptance of any of the Work not completed in accordance with the
Contract Documents. If such possession and use increases the cost of or delays of the
work, CMR shall be entitled to reasonable extra compensation, or reasonable extension of
time or both, by appropriate adjustment pursuant to Articles 7.4 and 7.6 hereof.
6.4.2 In the event OWNER takes possession of any completed or partially completed portions
of the Project, the following shall occur:

contract price or Contract Time.
7.6 NO DAMAGES FOR DELAY: No claim for damages, or any claim other than for an extension
of time, shall be made or asserted against OWNER by reason of any delays unless such delay is
one for which the Owner is responsible, which is unreasonable under the circumstances and
which was not one within the contemplation of the parties at the time of contracting. Otherwise
CMR shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or payment or compensation of any
kind from OWNER for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or
damages, including, but not limited to, costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of
delay, disruption, Eichleay Formula Costs, interference or hindrance from any cause whatsoever,
whether such delay, disruption, interference or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable,
foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable; provided further, however, that this
provision shall not preclude recovery of damages by CMR for hindrance or delays due solely to
fraud, bad faith or active interference on the part of OWNER or its agents. Otherwise, CMR
shall be entitled only to extensions of the Contract Time as the sole and exclusive remedy for
such resulting delay, in accordance with and to the extent specifically provided above.
7.7 EXCUSABLE DELAY: COMPENSABLE & NON-COMPENSABLE:
7.7.1 Excusable Delay: Delay which extends the completion of the work which is caused by
circumstances beyond the control of CMR or its subcontractors, materials persons,
suppliers, or vendors is Excusable Delay. CMR is entitled to a time extension of the
BIX Room Upgrades West Court Building 3301 Serial # 14112-CMR
Contract between Maricopa County and Caliente Construction, Inc. Page #20
Contract Time for each day the work is delayed due to excusable delay. CMR shall
document its claim for any time extensions as provided in Article 6.3 hereof.
7.7.1.1 Failure of CMR to timely comply with Article 6.3 hereof as to any particular event
of delay shall be deemed conclusively to constitute a waiver, abandonment or
relinquishment of any and all claims resulting from that particular event of delay.
7.7.2 Excusable Delay may be compensable or non-compensable.
7.7.2.1 Compensable Excusable Delay. Excusable Delay is only compensable when: (i) the
delay extends the Contract Time, and (ii) is one for which the Owner is
responsible, which is unreasonable under the circumstances and one not within the
contemplation of the parties at the time of contracting or is due solely to fraud, bad
faith or active interference on the part of OWNER or its DESIGN
PROFESSIONAL. In no event shall CMR be compensated for interim or non-
critical delays, which do not extend the Contract Time. CMR shall be entitled to
direct and indirect costs for Compensable Excusable Delay. Direct costs
recoverable by CMR shall be limited to actual additional costs allowed pursuant to
Article 8.3 hereof. All indirect costs shall be compensated through the overhead
percentage previously agreed to for revisions.
7.7.2.2 Non-Compensable Excusable Delay. When Excusable Delay is (i) caused by
circumstances beyond the control of CMR, its subcontractors, material persons,
suppliers and vendors, or is also caused by circumstances beyond the control of the
OWNER or (ii) is caused jointly or concurrently by CMR or its subcontractors,
materials persons, suppliers or vendors and by the OWNER or DESIGN
PROFESSIONAL, then CMR shall be entitled only to a time extension and no
further compensation for the delay.
ARTICLE 8 - PAYMENTS AND COST OF THE WORK
8.1 In full consideration of the full and complete performance of the Work and all other obligations of
the CMR hereunder, the OWNER shall pay to the CMR a sum of money not to exceed the contract
price which is defined to be the total of: (i) the CMR's Direct Construction Cost, (ii) so much of the
CMR's General Conditions as may have been expended, (iii) so much of the approved amount of
the CMR Contingency as may have been expended, and (iv) the CMR's construction management
"percentage of cost" fee. The contract price shall not exceed the sum shown in Article 1.0 as the
Guaranteed Maximum Price, adjusted to take into account any approved Change Orders, and shall
mean those costs necessarily incurred and paid by the CMR in connection with the performance of
all the work.
8.2 After completion and acceptance of the work, in the event that the Cost of the Work plus the
CMR's "percentage of cost" fee are less than the Guaranteed Maximum Price after giving effect
to adjustments to the GMP made in accordance with this Contract then the difference between the
Cost of the Work plus the CMR's "percentage of cost" fee on the one hand and the GMP on the
other hand is the "savings". The savings shall accrue to the OWNER as stated in Article 8.1. The
OWNER reserves the right to issue a deductive Change Order at any point during the Project,
reducing the OWNER Contingency. The OWNER also reserves the right to issue a deductive
Change Order at any point during the Project, as agreed to by the CMR, deducting CMR
Contingency or calculated savings from the Guaranteed Maximum Price. In the event that the
CMR's total approved expenditures for the Project shall exceed the Guaranteed Maximum Price,
the CMR shall pay such excess from its own funds, and the OWNER shall not be required to pay
any amount that exceeds the GMP; and the CMR shall have no claim against the OWNER on
account thereof.
BIX Room Upgrades West Court Building 3301 Serial It 14112-CMR
Contract between Maricopa County and Caliente Construction, Inc. Page #21
8.3 The term "Cost of the Work" shall mean the sum of all direct costs necessarily and reasonably
incurred and paid by the CMR in the performance of the Work. Such costs shall be at rates not
higher than those customarily paid in the locality of the Project except with the prior written
consent of OWNER. The Cost of the Work shall include only those items set forth in this Article
8.3 and shall not include any items listed in Article 8.4. Cost of the Work shall be determined as
follows:
8.3.1 SUBCONTRACTOR COSTS:
8.3.1.1 The CMR's Direct Construction Cost, for the work as generally described in
Exhibit A, attached hereto, to be performed by the General CMR or performed
by subcontractor selected in accordance with Article 11, below. Where the
work is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents or an
applicable subcontract, the Cost of the Work shall be determined by application
of unit prices to the quantities of items involved.
8.3.1.2 Whenever a change in subcontractor work is to be based on mutual acceptance
of a lump sum, whether the amount is an addition, credit or no change-in-cost,
CMR shall submit an initial cost estimate obtained from the subcontractor and
acceptable to OWNER subject to the Limitations set forth in Article 7.4. The
breakdown shall list the quantities and earlier agreed unit prices for materials,
labor, equipment and other items of cost. Whenever a change involves more
than one subcontractor and the change is an increase in the GMP, overhead and
profit percentage of each subcontractor and CMR, if applicable, shall be
itemized separately.
8.3.1.3 If the subcontract provides that the subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of
Cost of the Work plus a fee, the subcontractor's Cost of the Work shall be
determined in the same manner as CMR's Cost of the Work, subject to the
limitation on subcontractor's fees set forth in Article 7.4.
8.3.1.4 If changes to subcontracted work affected the GMP, such changes shall be
accomplished in accordance with Article 7.4, Change Orders. The amount of
decrease in the GMP, for any change that results in a net decrease in cost, will
be the amount of the actual net decrease. When both additions and decreases
are involved in any one change, the combined effect shall be figured on the
basis of the net change in the GMP, if any.
8.3.2 CMR'S LABOR COSTS: Costs for employees in the direct employ of CMR in the
performance of the work described in the Contract Documents. In lieu of wages and a
labor burden, it is agreed that wages shall be reimbursed in accordance with Attachment
A — Billable Rate Schedule, which shall be mutually agreed upon for the duration of the
Project by OWNER and CMR. Costs for employees not employed full time on the work
covered by the Contract shall be apportioned on the basis of the time the employees spent
on the work. In lieu of wages and a labor burden, it is agreed that wages shall be
reimbursed in accordance with Attachment "A" - Billable Rate Schedule. Rates included
in Attachment A — Billable Rate Schedule shall include salaries, social security
contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll taxes, working compensation, health
insurance, sick leave, pensions or 401k programs, vacation and holiday pay. A detailed
accounting of time spent on the Project must be provided at the request of the County
within seven (7) business days of the receipt by the CMR of written request therefor.
8.3.3 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT: Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and
incorporated in the work, including costs of transportation and storage thereof, and
BIX Room Upgrades West Court Building 3301 Serial # 14112-CMR
Contract between Maricopa County and Caliente Construction, Inc. Page #22
manufacturers' field services required in connection therewith, adjusted in accordance with
Article 10, pertaining to Discounts, Rebates and Refunds; rentals of all construction
equipment and machinery and the parts thereof whether rented from CMR of others in
accordance with rental agreements and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading,
installation, dismantling and removal thereof, all in accordance with the terms of said

party to perform), or any party for which any of them are liable or responsible at law or under the

DESIGN PROFESSIONAL for awards in compliance with A.R.S. Title 34. Unless the DESIGN
PROFESSIONAL and PROJECT MANAGER determine any such subcontract to be
unacceptable, the CMR shall contract solely in its own name and behalf, and not in the name or
behalf of the OWNER, with the specified subcontractor or supplier. The CMR's subcontract form

EXHIBIT G - ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
1.1 Scope. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere in the Contract, the alternative
dispute resolution ("ADR") process provided for herein shall be the exclusive means for resolution of
claims or disputes arising under, relating to or touching upon 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.
1.2 Neutral Evaluator, Arbitrators. The County will select a Neutral Evaluator to serve as set forth in this
ADR process. As needed under § 1.6.2 below, the County and CMR shall each select an arbitrator to
serve as set forth in this ADR process. Each arbitrator selected shall be a member of the State Bar of the
State of Arizona and shall have experience in the field of construction law. All arbitrators, once
selected, shall serve as neutral arbitrators, even if they are party-appointed. The County and the CMR
shall name their respective arbitrators within five (5) calendar days after the declaration of a failure of
mediation or the mutual waiver of mediation.
1.3 Discussion and Partnering. When a claim is made or a dispute arises relating to the Contract, senior
representatives of the County and the claimant will meet personally within ten (10) days to discuss the
claim/dispute and attempt to resolve it. If, after good faith efforts, resolution is not achieved, the
claim/dispute (hereafter "dispute") will proceed to the neutral evaluation process.
1.4 Neutral Evaluation Process. If the parties have been unable to resolve the dispute after discussions and
partnering, the following neutral evaluation process shall be used to resolve any such dispute.
1.4.1 Notification of Dispute. The County through its Agent shall promptly notify the Neutral
Evaluator in writing of the existence of a dispute within ten days of the County or the CMR
declaring need to commence the neutral evaluation process.
1.4.2 Non-Binding Informal Hearing. The Neutral Evaluator shall schedule a non-binding informal
hearing of the matter to be held within ten (10) calendar days from receipt of notification of the
existence of a dispute. The Neutral Evaluator may conduct the hearing in such manner as he
deems appropriate and shall notify each party of the hearing of its opportunity to present such
evidence as they believe will resolve the dispute. The Neutral Evaluator shall notify each party
to the dispute that they shall submit a written outline of the issues and evidence intended to be
introduced at the hearing and their proposed resolution of the dispute to the Neutral Evaluator
before the hearing commences. Potential Arbitrators shall not participate in such informal
hearing or proceedings process. The Neutral Evaluator is not bound by the rules of evidence
when admitting evidence in the hearing and may limit the length of the hearing, the number of
witnesses or any evidence introduced to the extent deemed relevant and efficient.
1.4.3 Non-Binding Decision. The Neutral Evaluator shall render a non-binding written decision as
soon as possible, but not later than five (5) calendar days after the hearing concludes.
1.4.4 Further proceedings. In the event that either party declines to accept the Neutral Evaluator's
decision as the resolution of the dispute, the dispute will proceed to mediation.
1.5 Mediation. In the event that a meeting of principals and neutral evaluation have failed, the parties shall
engage in mediation (as a condition precedent to arbitration) within fifteen (15) days of a party's
notifying the Neutral Evaluator that the party declines to accept the Neutral Evaluator's decision as the
resolution of the dispute. The mediator shall be chosen by the parties' agreement. If such agreement is
not reached by five (5) days after the neutral evaluator's receipt of a party's notification, then the
mediator shall be named by the Neutral Evaluator. In the event that mediation fails (or is waived by both
parties) then the matter shall proceed to binding arbitration.
B1X Room Upgrades West Court Building 3301 Serial # 14112-CMR
Contract between Maricopa County and Caliente Construction, Inc. Page If 55
1.6 Binding Arbitration Procedure. The following binding arbitration procedure shall serve as the
exclusive method to resolve a dispute if any party chooses not to accept the decision of the Neutral
Evaluator and mediation has failed or has been waived. A party requesting binding arbitration shall
notify the Neutral Evaluator in writing within seven (7) calendar days of the failure or waiver of
mediation of the party's demand for arbitration. If the CMR requests arbitration it shall post a cash bond
with the Neutral Evaluator in an amount agreed upon by the parties or, in the event of no agreement, the
Neutral Evaluator shall establish the amount of the cash bond to defray the cost of the arbitration as set
forth in paragraph 1.6.11 and the proceeds from the bond shall be allocated in accordance with paragraph
1.6.13 by the Arbitration Panel. The bond must be in the full amount agreed upon or as established by
the Neutral Evaluator to pay the potential cost of the full arbitration proceeding. The bond must be
posted with and received by the Neutral Evaluator within five (5) calendar days after the demand for
arbitration.
1.6.1 Arbitration Panel and Applicable Law and Rules. Disputes involving less than $200,000
shall be heard by one single arbitrator chosen by agreement of the parties. For disputes in excess
of $200,000, the Arbitration Panel shall consist of three arbitrators: the County's appointed
arbitrator, the CMR's appointed arbitrator and a third arbitrator (or "neutral arbitrator") who
shall be selected by the parties' arbitrators as set forth in Section 1.5.2. 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.
1.6.2 Selection of Neutral Arbitrator. For disputes in excess of $200,000, the parties' arbitrators
shall choose the Neutral Arbitrator, within ten (10) calendar days of notification of a demand for
arbitration having been received by the Neutral Evaluator. The Neutral Arbitrator shall have the
same qualifications as those of the arbitrators set forth in paragraph 1.2 above. In the event that
the two party selected arbitrators cannot agree on a Neutral Arbitrator as set forth above, the
Neutral Arbitrator shall be selected as the Default Neutral Arbitrator. If the County and CMR
cannot agree on the single arbitrator or upon a Default Neutral Arbitrator, then County and the
CMR shall each submit two names to Judge Eino Jacobson, or his successor as designated by
Maricopa County, who shall select one person. The Neutral Arbitrator may submit his invoices
for services to the OWNER, and the OWNER shall pay the amounts invoiced (subject to the
provisions of paragraph 1.4.13) unless and until the CMR is determined by the Arbitration Panel
to be the non-prevailing party and the Arbitration Panel determines per 1.6.11 what party pays
such costs.
1.6.3 Expedited Hearing. 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. To that end, any party can petition the Neutral Evaluator to set an expedited hearing. If
the Neutral Evaluator determines that the circumstances justify it, the Neutral Evaluator shall
contact the selected single arbitrator or Arbitration Panel and 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 twenty (20) 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
Arbitration Panel upon a showing of emergency circumstances.
1.6.4 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 Arbitration Panel shall review
BIX Room Upgrades West Court Building 3301 Serial # 14112-CMR
Contract between Maricopa County and Caliente Construction, Inc. Page # 56
and consider the Neutral Evaluator decision. The single arbitrator or the Chairman 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
Chairman 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 Chairman.
1.6.5 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 emergency
circumstances.
1.6.6 Award. The single arbitrator shall within ten (10) calendar days of the conclusion of a hearing
issue a reasoned award. The Arbitration Panel shall, within ten (10) calendar days from the
conclusion of any hearing, by majority vote issue its reasoned award. The award shall include an
allocation of fees and costs pursuant to 1.6.11 herein. The award is to be in accordance with the
Contract and the law of the State of Arizona.
1.6.7 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.
1.6.8 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
is in reality one involving less than $200,000, the arbitration shall continue before the Neutral
Arbitrator as a single arbitrator, with the party appointed arbitrators being excused.
1.6.9 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.
1.6.10 Severance and Joinder. To reduce the possibility of inconsistent adjudications, the Neutral
Evaluator 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 Neutral Evaluator, 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 CMR. Nothing
herein shall create the right by any party to assert claims against another party not germane to
the Contract or not recognized under the substantive law as applicable to the dispute. Neither
the Neutral Evaluator nor the single arbitrator or Arbitration Panel is authorized to join to the
proceeding parties not in privity with the County. CMR cannot be joined to any pending
arbitration proceeding, without CMR's express written consent and unless CMR is given the
opportunity to participate in the selection of the single arbitrator or non-County appointed
arbitrator.
1.6.11 Fees and Costs. Each party shall bear its own fees and costs in connection with any informal
hearing before the Neutral Evaluator and the mediation. All fees and costs associated with any
BIX Room Upgrades West Court Building 3301 Serial # 14112-CMR
Contract between Maricopa County and Caliente Construction, 117C. Page #57
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
CMR is the non-prevailing party, all fees and costs as noted above shall first be paid out of the
bond posted with the Neutral Evaluator. In no event shall the CMR'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. Fees for the
Neutral Evaluator shall be paid by County.
1.6.12 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 resolution of the dispute.
1.6.13 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.
1.6.14 Change Order. Any award in favor of the CMR against the County or in favor of the County
against the CMR shall be reduced to a Change Order and executed by the parties in accordance
with the award and the provisions of the Contract.
1.6.15 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.
1.7 Inclusion in Other Contracts. The CMR shall cooperate with the County in efforts to include this
ADR provision in all other Project contracts. Subject to CMR's reasonable agreement, the CMR agrees
