a. Your acts or omissions, or the acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf, in the performance of your

all other insurance available to the additional insured whether on a primary, excess, contingent or any other basis.
But if required by the "written contract' to be primary and non-contributory, this insurance will be primary and non-
contributory relative to insurance on which the additional insured is a Named Insured.
S. The insurance provided to the additional insured does not apply to "bodily injury," "property damage," or 'personal
and advertising injury" arising out of:
a. The rendering of, or the failure to render, any professional architectural, engineering, or surveying services,

additional conditions applicable to the additional insured:

settlement of the claim or "suit"; and
(4) Tender the defense and indemnity of any claim or "suit' to any other insurer or self insurer whose policy or
program applies to a loss we cover under this Coverage Part. But if the "written contract" requires this
insurance to be primary and non-contributory, this provision (4) does not apply to insurance on which the
additional insured is a Named Insured.
We have no duty to defend or indemnify an additional insured under this endorsement until we receive from the
additional insured written notice of a claim or 'suit"
D. Only for the purpose of the insurance provided by this endorsement, SECTION V — DEFINITIONS is amended to add
the following definition:
'Written contract" means a written contract or written agreement that requires you to make a person or organization an
additional insured on this Coverage Part, provided the contract or agreement
1. Is currently in effect or becomes effective during the term of this policy; and
2. Was executed prior to:

ARTICLE 7 CHANGES IN THE WORK
7.1 CHANGE ORDERS
7.1.1 Defined. A Change Order is a written order issued to the Contractor by the Design
Professional and signed by the Owner and Design Professional authorizing a change in
the (1) Work, (2) Contract Sum and/or (3) Contract Time. The Contract Sum or Contract
Time may be increased or decreased only by Change Order. No Work shall be performed
by the Contractor or its Subcontractors for which the Contractor intends to seek
additional money or an extension of time unless the Contractor obtains a fully executed
Change Order prior to performing the Work. A Change Order signed by the Contractor
indicates the Contractor's agreement therewith, including without limitation, any
adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time. A Change Order signed by the
Contractor without any indication of change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time
indicates the Contractor's agreement that there will be no change in the Contract Sum or
Contract Time (collectively "Change Order").
7.1.2 Contract Sum. Adjustments to the Contract Amount shall be based on:
7.1.2.1 A method to be determined by the Owner and an acceptable change in cost,
fee, scope and/or time.
7.1.3 Itemized Costs. For the purpose of preparing Change Orders, the Contractor shall submit
to the Design Professional a complete itemization of all costs required for the change in
such form and detail requested by the Design Professional and the Owner.
7.1.4 Overhead and Profit. The maximum that will be allowed for overhead and profit,
expressed as a percentage of the actual basic cost of the change, shall be as indicated in
the Contractor's bid. Overhead and profit percentages shall be applied equally to additive
or deductive changes.
7.1.4.1 For the Contractor, for Work performed by the Contractor's own forces,
overhead and profit percentage shall be as indicated in the Contractor's bid.

7.1.4.2 For the Contactor, for Work performed by the Contractor's Subcontractor,
overhead and profit percentage shall be as indicated in the Contractor's bid.
7.1.4.3 For each Subcontractor involved, for Work perfon ied by that Subcontractor's
own forces, fifteen percent (15%) of the cost.
7.1.4.4 For each Subcontractor, for Work perfonued by the Subcontractor's
Subcontractor, five percent (5%) of the amount due the sub-Subcontractor.
7.1.4.5 Costs to which overhead and profit are to be applied shall be determined in
accordance with Article 7.1.5, but in no event shall they be applied to office
supervision, taxes, administration or any other costs not listed in Article 7.1.6.
7.1.5 Calculating Mark-Up Costs on a Change. All markups for changes, additive and
deductive shall be calculated in the following manner. When both additive deductive
activities exist within the same change, mark-ups shall be calculated on the net amount.
Each trade billing for a change shall indicate the PCO number and the amount billed
against the PCO number.
Example:
A) Direct Cost of the Work $1,000.00
B) Bond (.67%) $6.70 (A x B)
C) General Liability (.53%) $5.34 (A + B) x C
D) Builders Risk (.13%) $1.32 (A+B+C)xD
E) Subtotal $1,013.36 (A+B+C+D)
F) Overhead (3.00%) $30.40 (E x F)
G) Fee (1.00%) $10.13 (E x G)
H) Subtotal $1,053.89 (E + F + G)
1) Sales Tax (5.395%) $56.86 (H x I)
Total $1,110.75 (H + I)
7.1.6 Limitations on Costs. Costs for changes, to which overhead and profit are to be applied,
shall be limited to the following:
7.1.6.1 Actual costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment
insurance, fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers'
compensation insurance;
7.1.6.2 Actual costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of
transportation, whether incorporated or consumed, less applicable trade
discounts, rebates, credits or other such reductions in cost made available to

7.1.7 Costs of Material. Material costs shall be at the actual cost to the Contractor or
Subcontractor. Upon request, the Contractor, or Subcontractor, shall submit evidence to
substantiate the costs. Materials shall be quoted at trade discount price, with quantity
discounts also applied where the quantities warrant. Cash or prompt payment discounts
need not be credited. In any proposal with material credits, the credit shall be based on
the actual Contract cost of the material (including trade and quantity discounts) less any
charges actually incurred for handling or returning material, which has been delivered.
No cancellation or restocking charge will be allowed when material has not been shipped.
7.1.8 Actual Costs. Except for changes based on unit prices included in the Contract, cost
changes shall be computed by detel mining the actual cost as enumerated in Article 7.1.5.
to which the combined overhead and profit as approved by the Owner may be added, and
then adding the insurance, bonds, and tax to compute the total cost.
7.1.9 Unit Prices. Unit prices proposed on the Bid form and included in the Contract are not
subject to further overhead and profit adjustments. The Contract Sum will be adjusted by
the direct extension of the number of units and the unit prices.
7.1.10 Impact Costs. No claim for impact costs resulting from the performance of a Change
Order will be permitted against the Owner, the Design Professional, or any other party in
privity of Contract with the Owner with respect to the Project subsequent to the time that
the Change Order is signed by the Contractor.
7.1.11 Prompt Response to Proposed Changes. The Contractor shall promptly respond to any
Request for Proposal for changes initiated by the Owner or Design Professional, and in
any event shall provide a written itemized proposal in response to any such request within
fifteen (15) days after such request is made to the Contractor.
7.1.12 Final Settlement. Agreement on any Change Order shall constitute a final settlement of
all matters relating to the change in the Work which is the subject of the Change Order,
including, but not limited to, all direct and indirect costs associated with such change, any
impact such change may have on the unchanged Work, and any and all adjustments to the
Contract Sum or the Contract Time. In the event a Change Order increases the Contract
Sum, the Contractor shall include the Work covered by such Change Orders in
Applications for Payment as if such Work were originally part of the Contract.
Agreement on any Change Order releases the Owner, Design Professional and any other
party in privity of Contract with the Owner with respect to the Project from all claims or
liabilities arising in any way in connection with, or in any way associated with, such
change.
7.1.13 Identifying Changes in the Schedule-of-Values. Each change shall be listed separately in
the Contractor's Schedule-of-Values. Changes shall be listed by Potential Change Order
number, by trade or Subcontractor and include a line item for the Contractor's mark-ups
associated with the change.
Example:
(Example assumes fully executed Change Orders have been issued to the Contractor
including the PCO's referenced) A change occurs involving three trades. The Design
Professional issues Potential Change Order Request #005. Another change occurs
involving two trades. The Design Professional issues Potential Change Order Request
#006.

Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract may be issued. Such changes
shall be effected by written order issued by the Design Professional, and shall be binding
on the Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written orders promptly.
7.3 CONSTRUCTION DIRECTIVE:
Defined. A Construction Directive ("C.D.") is a written order prepared and signed by the Owner
directing the Contractor to proceed with a portion of a Scope of Work. Issuance of a
Construction Directive does not imply that a change in scope, cost or time applies. The
Contractor shall perform the work pursuant to the C.D. pending later resolution of any possible
issues relating to cost or time under the Contract.
Contractor's Duty to Proceed with Scope of Work. Upon receipt of a Construction Directive, the

Project Name:
Project No.:
superintendents, inspectors, or those otherwise in charge of property, streets, water lines,
gas lines, sewer lines, telephone cables, communication or data cables, electric cables,
railroads, or others who may be affected by Contractor's operations, in order that they
may remove any obstruction for which they are responsible, and have representation on
the Site to see that their property is properly protected. Such notice does not relieve the
Contractor of responsibility for any damages, claims, or defense of all actions against the
Owner or Design Professional resulting from performance of the Work. Work within
secured areas must be scheduled in accordance with policies of Section 01000, Site Use
and Security Requirements.
8.1.4 Maintenance of Utilities. The Contractor shall (1) protect utilities encountered whether
indicated on Drawings or not; (2) exercise care in excavation around utilities; (3) restore
any damaged items to the same condition (or better) as existed prior to starting the Work;

services are provided, tested, and ready for use.
8.2 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
8.2.1 Notice of Delays. The Contractor shall provide prompt written notice to the Design
Professional of the occurrence of any delay, and in no event shall such notice be given
later than forty-eight (48) hours after commencement of the delay. The Contractor agrees
that adjustments in the Contract Time will be permitted for a delay only to the extent such
delay (1) is not caused or could not have been anticipated by the Contractor, and (2)
could not have been limited or avoided by the Contractor's timely notice to its suppliers,
Subcontractors, or Design Professional of the delay. Failure to give timely notification to
the Design Professional shall constitute a waiver of claims related to any such delay.
8.2.2 Claims for Additional Time. Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with
Article 4.2.5.
8.2.3 Recovery of Damages Not Precluded. This Article 8.2 does not preclude recovery of
Owner's damages for delay by the Contractor if such occur.
8.3 TIME OF ESSENCE
8.3.1 Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each of the covenants,
conditions and obligations contained in this Contract.
8.4 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
8.4.1 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES - Contractor acknowledges that failure to achieve
substantial completion of the Work within the Contract Time provided by the Contract
Documents (See Section 0500) will cause the Owner to incur substantial economic
damages and losses of types and in amounts which are difficult or impossible to compute
and ascertain with certainty as a basis for recovery by the Owner of actual damages, and
that liquidated damages represent a fair, reasonable and appropriate estimate thereof
Accordingly, in lieu of actual damages for such delay, the Contractor and its Surety agree
that, in the event of delayed completion and without the Owner being required to present
any evidence of the amount or character of actual damages sustained by reason thereof,
liquidated damages are due the Owner. Accordingly, if the Contractor fails to achieve
Substantial Completion or Final Completion within the periods agreed to in Section
00700-24
1085860.1 Rev. 7/17/2014

Contractor achieves the Substantial Completion or Final Completion, as the case may be.
The Owner shall have the right to retain such damages from payments due Contractor.
The Contractor shall be liable for such liquidated damages regardless of whether Owner
received or may receive liquidated damages from other Contractor's. Such liquidated
damages are intended to represent estimated actual damages and are not intended as a
penalty, and Contractor shall pay them to Owner without limiting Owner's right to
teiininate this agreement for default as provided elsewhere herein.
ARTICLE 9 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
9.1 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
9.1.1 Prior to submittal of the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to and
have accepted by the Owner and Design Professional, a schedule detailing values
allocated to various portions of the Work, prepared per Section 012973 and in such form

Professional may require ("Schedule of Values"). This schedule, after acceptance by the
Owner and Design Professional, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's
Applications for Payment.
9.1.2 ALLOWANCES:
If the Contract includes any allowances, all documentation shall be furnished evidencing
the use of allowance funds.
Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents:
a. allowances shall cover the cost of materials and equipment delivered at the site,

the Contract is fifty percent (50%) complete, one-half of the amount retained shall be
paid to the Contractor upon the Contractor's request and receipt of written consent by
Contractor's Surety, provided the Contractor is making satisfactory progress on the
Contract and there is no specific cause or claim requiring a greater amount to be retained.
At the time the Work is fifty percent (50%) complete and thereafter, five percent (5%) of
the amount of each progress payment will be retained unless the Owner deteintines that

warehouse, and the anticipated delivery time. To qualify for consideration, the material or
equipment must be a critical material that is specially fabricated or produced for the
Work of this Contract, in accordance with the Contract, and paid for in full by the
Contractor. The Design Professional and Owner will not consider requests to pay for
items which are damaged or otherwise defective, or off-the-shelf type materials not
requiring a long lead time to order. Payment for materials and equipment stored shall be
conditioned upon (1) compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the
Design Professional and Owner to establish the Owner's title to such materials and
equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, (2) insurance as set forth in Article
11, and (3) source invoices to support the monies requested. The Request must include
an explanation of why a source invoice is unavailable or not applicable. Specific to off-

security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or other
persons or entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials, or
equipment relating to the Work. All Applications for Payment shall include a
certification by Contractor that title to all Work covered by the Application for Payment
will be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances. The Contractor
shall also indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any lien by any
Subcontractor, sub-Subcontractor, vendor, supplier, manufacturer or other entity or
person supplying labor, equipment, or materials related to the Work.
9.3 RECOMMENDATION FOR PAYMENT
9.3.1 Timing for Recommendation. The Contractor's Application for Payment shall be
deemed approved and certified for payment within seven (7) days from the date of
submission to the Design Professional , unless within seven (7) days from the date of
submission, the Owner or Design Professinal issues a written finding to the Contractor
specifying those items in the Application for Payment that will not be approved for
payment. In addition to the retainage withheld under Article 9.2.4, the Design
Professional orOwner may withhold an additional amount from the progress payment
sufficient to pay the expenses that the Design Professional or Owner reasonably expects
to incur in correcting the deficiency set forth in the written finding. Undisputed portions
of progress payments shall be paid within fourteen (14) days after approval of the
Application for Payment by the Owner. The Design Professional shall recommend
payment to the Owner only upon their determination that the Work has progressed to the
point indicated in the Contractor's Application for Payment and that to their knowledge,
information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract.
9.3.2 Recommendation Subject to Later Evaluation. The recommendation of the Design
Professional and the decision of the Owner to make a payment is subject to later
evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract upon Substantial Completion,

correctable prior to completion and to specific qualifications expressed by the Owner or
Design Professional. The issuance of a recommendation for payment will not be a
representation that the Owner or Design Professional has (1) made exhaustive or
continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed
the Contractor's construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3)
reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and
other data requested by the Design Professional or Owner to substantiate the Contractor's
right to payment, or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the

the Work. The amount to which each Subcontractor is entitled shall reflect payments to
the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work. The Contractor
shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to
make payments to sub-Subcontractors, vendors, and materialsmen in the same manner
9.5.2 No Obligation to Oversee Payments. Neither the Owner nor Design Professional shall
have an obligation to pay or to see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor.
9.5.3 Payment Not Acceptance of Work. A payment recommendation, a progress payment, or

acceptance of Work which is not in accordance with the Contract.
9.6 INTEREST
9.6.1 If any payment to the Contractor is delayed after the date due, the Owner shall pay
interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or fraction of a month on
such unpaid balance as may be due, provided however, that such one and one-half
percent (1.5%) charge shall not apply to any disputed portion of an Application for
Payment. If any periodic or Final Payment to a Subcontractor is delayed by more than
seven (7) days after receipt of the periodic or Final Payment by the Contractor or
Subcontractor, the Contractor or Subcontractor shall pay interest to his Subcontractor or
material supplier, beginning on the eighth day, at the rate of one and one-half percent
(1.5%) per month or a fraction of a month on such unpaid balance as may be due.
9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT
9.7.1 If the Contractor, for any reason not the fault of the Contractor, is not paid any
undisputed amount within fourteen (14) days after the date payment is due, the
Contractor may, upon seven (7) additional days written notice to the Design Professional
and Owner, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the Contractor shall not stop the Work during the
pendency of a dispute which has been submitted to Alternative Dispute Resolution
pursuant to Exhibit "B," nor shall the Contractor stop the Work if the Owner makes
payment of any amounts not in dispute within seven (7) days after the Contractor's notice
of nonpayment is received by the Owner.
9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
9.8.1 Defined. Substantial Completion is the stage of completion of the Work or area of Work
when that portion of the Project or Work for which the Contractor is responsible is fully
usable by the Owner for its intended purpose without inconvenience to or risk of harm to
00700-29
1085860.1 Rev. 7/17/2014
Project Name:
Project No.:
the Owner, or the public. The authority to deteimine whether the Contractor has
achieved Substantial Completion is vested in the first instance with the Design
Professional in consultation with the Owner, and ultimately in the Owner, whose decision
shall be final and binding.
9.8.2 Certificate of Substantial Completion. When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a
portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete,
the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Design Professional a comprehensive list
of items to be completed or corrected. All Record Documents, Operation and
Maintenance Manuals, the Contractor's and manufacturers' warranties, guarantees,
reports and information required for the Owner to operate the facility in accordance with
Article 9.8.1 shall be provided in the quantities specified. The Contractor shall, in the
time frame indicated in the Contract Documents, complete and correct all items on the
list, unless a longer time is granted by the Owner in writing. Failure to include an item
on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in
accordance with the Contract. Upon receipt of the list, the Design Professional, assisted
by the Owner, will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated
portion thereof is substantially complete. If the inspection discloses any item, whether or
not included on the list, which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract,
the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion,
complete or correct such item upon notification by the Owner. The Contractor shall then
submit a request for another inspection by the Design Professional, assisted by the
Owner, to determine Substantial Completion. When the Work or designated portion
thereof is substantially complete, the Design Professional will prepare a certificate which
shall (1) establish the date of Substantial Completion, (2) establish responsibilities of the
Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, and damage to the Work,
and (3) shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list
accompanying the Certificate ("Certificate of Substantial Completion"). The Certificate
of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their
written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate.
9.9 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
9.9.1 Final Inspection. Following the Design Professional's issuance of a Certificate of
Substantial Completion of the Work and upon completion of the Work, the Contractor
shall forward to the Design Professional a written notice that the Work is ready for final
inspection and acceptance and shall also forward to the Design Professional a final
Application for Payment. Upon receipt, the Design Professional will promptly make
such inspection. If the Design Professionalfinds the Work acceptable under the Contract
and the Contract fully performed, the Design Professional will promptly issue a final
recommendation to the Owner stating that to the best of their knowledge, information and
belief, and on the basis of their observations and inspections, the Work has been
completed in accordance with the Contract and that the remaining Contract Sum is due,
including all retainage, less authorized deductions.
9.9.2 Conditions to Final Payment. Final Payment to the Contractor shall be made within
thirty-five (35) days after compliance by the Contractor with Article 9.9.1 and Article
9.9.2. Neither Final Payment nor any remaining retainage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to the Design Professional (1) an affidavit acknowledging that all
Subcontractors, payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness
connected with the Work will be paid or otherwise satisfied once final payment is made,
00700-30
1085860.1 Rev. 7/17/2014
Project Name:
Project No.:
(2) the written consent of the Surety to Final Payment, (3) a full and final release and
conditional waiver of liens from the Contractor. The Contractor shall also indemnify,
defend, and hold halluless the Indemnities against liens by any Subcontractor
(collectively "Final Payment"). Within fourteen (14) days after final payment, the
Contractor shall provide an unconditional waiver of all Contractorliens. Release of
retention and/or securities in lieu of retention shall not occur until an unconditional
waiver has been received.
If the Owner prefers to accept Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which
case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable for the difference in
value together with an allowance for damage or loss of quality. Such adjustment shall be
effected whether or not Final Payment has been made.
9.9.3 Delay of Final Completion. If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, Final
Completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by
issuance of Change Orders affecting Final Completion the Owner shall, upon application
by the Contractor and without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due
for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. In such case, the Owner will
retain at least two times the value of the incomplete or uncorrected parts of the Work, as
determined by the Design Professional and Owner. If the remaining balance for Work
not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract the
written consent of Surety to payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully
completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Design Professional
and Owner prior to recommendation of such payment. Such payment shall be made under
terms and conditions governing Final Payment.
9.9.4 Waiver of Claims. Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor shall constitute a
waiver of all claims related to the Project. .
9.10 INSPECTION BY DESIGN PROFESSIONAL AND OWNER
9.10.1 The Design Professional and the Owner will make up to two inspections of the Work for
the purpose of determining Substantial Completion and up to two inspections of the
Work for the purpose of determining Final Completion. If, after making either of such
inspections, the Owner determines that the Work is not substantially complete or finally
complete, as the case may be, the Contractor shall be responsible for the costs of the
Design Professional and the Owner incurred in the performance of additional inspections
for the purpose of determining Substantial Completion or Final Completion, as the case
may be.

12.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK
12.1.1 Duty to Uncover Work. If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to the Owner's or
Design Professional's request or to requirements specifically expressed in the Contract, it
must, if required in writing by either, be uncovered for their observation and be replaced
at the Contractor's expense without change in the Contract Time.
12.1.2 Cost of Uncovering Work. If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Owner
or Design Professional has not specifically requested to observe prior to its being
covered, the Owner or Design Professional may request to see such Work and it shall be
uncovered by the Contractor. If such Work is in accordance with the Contract, costs of
uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the
Owner. If such Work is not in accordance with the Contract, the Contractor shall pay
such costs.
12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK
12.2.1 Duty to Correct Rejected Work. The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected
by the Owner as defective or failing to conform to the requirements of the Contract,
whether observed before or after Substantial Completion of the Work and whether or not
fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor shall bear costs of correcting such
rejected Work including the replacement or repair of other work affected by the
Contractor's performance, including additional testing and inspection and compensation
for the Owner's and Design Professional's services made necessary thereby. Work
rejected before Final Completion shall be corrected prior to Final Payment.
12.2.2 One Year Duty to Correct Work. Without limiting the Owner's statutory, common law,
or rights arising out of this Agreement, if within one year after the date of Substantial
Completion of the Work, or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by
law or by the terms of any applicable special warranty or guarantee required by the
Contract, any of the Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of
written notice from the Owner to do so. In the event that during the warranty period of
one year, key systems on the Project (for example: HVAC, boilers, chillers, generators,
electric, fire or security, water, sewage, elevator, data) fail to function, the Contractor will
repair or replace such systems within twenty-four (24) hours. The Contractor shall bear
all costs of correcting such defective Work, including replacement or repair of other work
affected by the defect and any other damages resulting from such defect. The obligations
under this Article 12.2.2 shall survive Final Payment to the Contractor.
12.2.3 Removal of Nonconforming Work. The Contractor shall remove from the Site, at no
additional cost, portions of the Work that are not in accordance with the requirements of
the Contract and are neither corrected by the Contractor nor accepted by the Owner.
12.2.4 Owner's Right to Correct Nonconforming Work. If the Contractor fails to correct
nonconforming Work within a reasonable time, the Owner may correct it in accordance
00700-38
1085860.1 Rev. 7/17/2014
Project Name:
Project No.:
with Article 2.3. If the Contractor does not proceed with correction of such
nonconforming Work within a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the Owner.
The Owner may remove it and store the salvable materials or equipment at the
Contractor's expense. If the Contractor does not pay costs of such removal and storage
within ten (10) days thereafter, the Owner may sell such materials and equipment at
auction or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting
the costs that should have been borne by the Contractor, including compensation for the
Owner's and Design Professional's additional services and expenses made necessary
thereby. If such proceeds of sale do not cover costs that the Contractor should have
borne, the Contract Sum shall be reduced by the deficiency. If payments then or
thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, the Contractor shall
pay the difference to the Owner.
12.2.5 Cost of Correcting Other Affected Work. The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting
destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or partially completed, of the
Owner, the Contractor or other Contractor's caused by the Contractor's correction or
removal of Work which is defective or not in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract.
12.2.6 Warranty Periods. Nothing contained in this Article 12.2 shall be construed to establish a
period of limitation with respect to obligations that the Contractor has under the Contract
or at law, including Article 3.8. Establishment of the time period of one year as
described in Article 12.2.2, or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or
by the terms of any warranty required by the Contract, relates only to the specific
obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time
within which the obligation to comply with the Contract may be sought to be enforced,
nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the
Contractor's liability with respect to the Contractor's obligations.
12.2.6.1 4 hours for emergency repair work. An "emergency repair" is defined

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 Contractor 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 Contractor 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
Contractor 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.
EXHIBIT-A Rev. 7/17/2014
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.
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 Contractor 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.

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 Contractor'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 Contractor cannot agree on the single
arbitrator or upon a Default Neutral Arbitrator, then County and the Contractor 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 Contractor 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.
EXHIBIT-A Rev. 7/17/2014
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 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 Chairnian.
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
EXHIBIT-A Rev. 7/17/2014
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 Contractor. 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. Contractor cannot be joined to any
pending arbitration proceeding, without Contractor's express written consent and unless
Job Order Contractor 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 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 Neutral Evaluator.
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.
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.
EXHIBIT-A Rev. 7/17/2014
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 deteimined and assessed in ADR.
1.6.14 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.
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 Contractor shall cooperate with the County in efforts to
include this ADR provision in all other project contracts. Subject to Contractor's reasonable
agreement, the Contractor agrees that any modification to this ADR provision that is included in
the construction or other contracts shall also apply to the Contractor. It is the intent of the parties
that any changes to this ADR provision in later contracts will be evolutionary and designed to
incorporate the teims of this ADR provision without material changes to the substance or
procedure of this ADR provision.
