Lot Parking Garage located generally at the NE corner of the intersection of 95th Avenue and 
Montbello Avenue, (the “PROJECT”). 
In consideration for the mutual covenants and obligations contained herein, Owner and 
Design-Builder agree as set forth herein:  
 
Article 1 
Scope of Work 
 
1.1 
In accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 34 and the City of Glendale 
Procurement Code, Owner intends to enter into a contract for design and construction services by 
a qualified design-builder as described in “Exhibit A - Design-Build General Conditions” and 
“Exhibit B - Design-Build Scope of Services” (hereinafter the “Scope”). 
 
1.2 
At the election of the Parties, and as may be necessary, the D-B shall perform all needed 
design, pre-construction, and construction services in the Pre-Construction and Construction 
Phases of the Project, and provide all material, equipment, tools, and labor necessary to 
satisfactorily complete all work, deliverables and services described in and reasonably inferable 
from the Contract Documents (collectively “Scope of Work”, “Project Work” or “the Work”). The 
Parties agree that this Agreement shall not be effective as a contract for Construction Phase 
services until such time as the Parties agree on a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and 
Construction Phase Fee in the form of a written Amendment to this Agreement specifically 
incorporating those contract terms 
 
1.3 
At the election of the Parties, and as may be necessary, during the Design and Pre-
Construction Phase, the D-B shall provide design and preconstruction services to determine the 
project designs, provide complete Construction Document Submittals, provide project GMPs, 
confirm the existing site conditions, including site surveys and geotechnical studies, and confirm 
project schedules, in accordance with this Agreement, “Exhibit A - Design-Build General 
Conditions”, and “Exhibit B - Design-Build Scope of Services”. 
 
1.4 
The D-B must keep the Project within the Owner’s Project Budget requirements, and DB’s 
estimates of probable Construction Costs shall not exceed this amount. D-B shall prepare complete 
project construction cost estimates for all the Work required to complete the Project, with each 
Design Phase Submittal and with each GMP Proposal, using the format set forth in “Exhibit F - 
Cost of the Work”, which excludes the Design and Pre-Construction Phase Fee, so that the Owner

Standard Form Agreement Between Owner and Design-Builder (January 15, 2023 Edition)  
Page 6 
 
 
and D-B have an opportunity to assess overall budget capacity prior to authorization of partial or 
complete GMPs. 
 
The amount within the Owner’s Project Budget available for the Work may be revised 
only by an Owner-approved written modification of the D-B Agreement. 
 
1.5 
If the GMP proposed by the D-B is acceptable to the Owner, and if the Owner desires to 
proceed with the Project, the Parties agree to execute an Amendment to this Agreement, in the 
form provided on “Exhibit E - Design-Build Agreement Form of GMP Amendment” attached 
hereto, to establish the GMP and Construction Phase Fee as described in “Exhibit F - Cost of the 
Work”, and to incorporate herein the Construction Documents and other Contract Documents, and 
D-B’s assumptions and clarifications as may be necessary to define the Scope of Work as described 
in “Exhibit G - List of Construction Documents”, “Exhibit H - Statement of All Clarifications and 
Assumptions”, and “Exhibit J - Schedule of Major Milestones” attached hereto. If the GMP is not 
within the Owner’s Project Budget, or if the Owner desires not to proceed with the Project, the 
Owner reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or act as otherwise provided for in the 
“Exhibit A - D-B General Conditions”.

Professional Services and Contract Administration. 
 
D-B agrees that in performing the Professional Services it will exercise the Standard of 
Care described below, and will cause its Design Professional and Sub-Consultants to exercise the 
same. D-B will also cause all Consultants and Sub-Consultants it employs, or contracts with, to

the orderly and timely progress of the Project and Project Schedule.  
 
 As my be applicable under Title 34, The Owner’s acceptance of the Design Documents 
provided to it by D-B, and D-B’s estimates of Probable Construction Cost, shall not relieve D-B 
from any responsibility for errors or omissions in those regards, nor from any other obligation of 
D-B under the D-B Agreement or applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules and 
regulations, or operation of law.  
 
If applicable, D-B acknowledges and agrees that approval and involvement by the Owner 
during the Design Phase (including, without limitation, recommendations by the Owner as to the 
Design), in no way relieves D-B of full responsibility for the Design and the Design Documents.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 7 
 
 
ARTICLE 1  
GENERAL ARTICLES 
 
1.1 
Mutual Obligations. 
 
1.1.1 Owner and Design-Builder commit, at all times, to cooperate fully with each other, and 
proceed on the basis of trust and good faith to permit each party to realize the benefits afforded 
under the Contract Documents, which benefits include the satisfactory and timely completion of 
the Project and all obligations required by the Contract Documents. 
 
1.2 
Basic Definitions. 
Contract Documents are those documents noted under Article 2 of “STANDARD FORM 
AGREEMENT  BETWEEN  OWNER  AND  DESIGN-BUILDER ON  THE  BASIS  
OF A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE” (the “Agreement”) and also include, but are not 
limited to, the Agreement, amendments, change orders, these General Conditions, any 
supplementary or special conditions referenced in the Agreement and any other items stipulated to 
as being included in the Contract Documents, including the complete design as accepted by the 
Owner. 
 
1.2.1  Construction Documents are the plans and specifications prepared by the Design-Builder 
for the Project, approved by the Owner, and incorporated into this Agreement by reference after 
such approval, to be used to construct the Project. The Construction Documents shall set forth in 
detail all items necessary to complete the construction of the Project in accordance with the 
Contract Documents (subject to their completion following commencement of the Construction 
Phase). All amendments and modifications to the Construction Documents must be approved by 
the Owner prior to incorporation into this Agreement.   
 
1.2.2 Construction General Conditions means all on-site Project-specific job costs of Design-
Builder not itemized elsewhere in the Contract Documents to support complete construction of the 
project. 
 
General Conditions shall initially be calculated based on an itemized description of costs, shared 
with the Owner for review during GMP negotiations, then shall be fixed as a dollar amount as 
mutually negotiated and agreed by the Parties in writing, subject to any cost or credit adjustments 
prescribed by these General Conditions Article 9.4. Construction General Conditions will be 
reimbursed as a category of Work within the Schedule of Values based on negotiated amounts, as 
agreed to by Owner. 
 
Design-Builder’s Construction General Conditions-type charges may not be listed in the 
Subcontractors’ Schedule of Values, nor will such charges be paid by the Owner.  
 
All excluded expenses the Design-Builder incurs while performing and completing the Project are 
not reimbursable as Construction General Conditions, and must be paid out of the Construction 
Phase Fee.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 8 
 
 
1.2.3 Cost of the Work consists of those items of Work which are paid for by the Owner to the 
Design-Builder, and consists of those categories of costs set forth as allowable on “Exhibit F - 
Cost of the Work”. The Estimated Cost of the Work is the difference between the Guaranteed 
Maximum Price and the accepted fixed Construction General Conditions and Construction Phase 
Fee. The Actual Cost of the Work is the aggregate amount of actual costs chargeable to the Owner 
under the provisions of “Exhibit F - Cost of the Work”, up to the Estimated Cost of the Work plus 
Construction General Conditions and Construction Phase Fee.  
 
1.2.4 Owner means the City of Glendale, Arizona, a municipality corporation. 
 
1.2.5 Design-Builder means the Design-Builder and all persons and entities identified as 
members of the Design-Build Team in the Design-Builder’s response to the Owner’s RFQ for this 
project. Except as otherwise provided herein, members of the Design-Build Team shall be treated 
as Subcontractors or Design Consultants, as the context may require, within the areas of their 
involvement in the Project. 
 
1.2.6 A Design Professional is a qualified professional properly licensed in the State of Arizona, 
as required for the services provided, procured or employed by anyone under contract with Design-
Builder to furnish design services required under the Contract Documents.  
 
1.2.7 Construction Phase is defined as including but not limited to the following Subphases: 
construction administration, closeout and warranty, and may include some activities that occur 
after Final Completion. 
 
1.2.8 Construction Phase Fee includes all direct and indirect costs of Design-Builder providing 
off-site management, supervision and support for the completion of the Work during the 
Construction Phase, plus associated overhead and profit. The Construction Phase Fee shall initially 
be calculated as a percent of Direct Construction Cost only, and then shall be fixed as a dollar 
amount as mutually negotiated and agreed to by the Parties in writing, subject to any cost or credit 
adjustments prescribed by these General Conditions Article 9.4. 
 
1.2.9 Design Submissions or Design Documents are the drawings, specifications, cost estimates 
and other documents that are submitted for Owner’s approval to conclude the design services 
required by the Agreement. 
 
1.2.10 Hazardous Conditions are defined as any unusual materials, to include any materials, 
wastes, substances and chemicals deemed to be hazardous under applicable Legal Requirements, 
or which handling, remediation, or disposal are regulated by applicable Legal Requirements. 
 
1.2.11 Legal Requirements include all applicable federal, state and local rules, laws, codes, 
ordinances and regulations of any government or quasi-government entity having jurisdiction over 
the Project, the practices involved in the Project, or any Work performed in connection with the 
Project, including regulations, policies and practices of the City of Glendale, Arizona. 
 
1.2.12 Project Criteria are developed by or for Owner to describe Owner’s program, requirements 
and objectives for the Project, including use, space, price, time, site, and expandability

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 9 
 
 
requirements, as well as submittal requirements and other requirements governing Design-
Builder’s performance of its Work. The Project Criteria may include conceptual documents, design 
criteria, performance requirements, and other Project specific technical materials and requirements 
prepared by or for Owner. 
 
1.2.13 Punch List means those minor items of Work identified and listed by Design-Builder and 
agreed to by Owner to be completed by Design-Builder after Substantial Completion and prior to 
Final Completion, which do not prevent the Project from being fully used for the purpose for which 
it is intended and which will not prevent the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or a favorable 
review by the State Fire Marshal. 
 
1.2.14 Savings is the difference, if any, between the Guaranteed Maximum Price and the Actual 
Cost of the Work plus the Construction General Conditions and the Construction Phase Fee, and 
shall be allocated as set forth in Article 6. 
 
1.2.15  The Site is the land and other areas on which the Project is located. 
 
1.2.16 A Subcontractor (of any tier) is any person or entity who performs a portion of the Work 
directly on behalf of the Design-Builder, including any material, men and suppliers, and shall 
include all employees, agents and authorized representatives of such entities. 
 
1.2.17 Substantial Completion is the date on which Design-Builder’s Work, or an agreed upon 
portion of the Work, is sufficiently complete so that Owner can occupy and utilize the Project, or 
a portion thereof, for the purposes for which it was intended. All Work must be complete except 
for minor cosmetic corrections. Beneficial Occupancy by Owner of Project does not automatically 
constitute Substantial Completion. 
 
1.2.18 The Work is comprised of all design, other related services and construction activities 
required to complete the Project as defined by the Contract Documents, including procuring and 
furnishing all materials, equipment, services, and labor reasonably inferable from the Contract 
Documents, or from prevailing trade usage and custom. 
 
1.2.19 Beneficial Occupancy is that point in which the Design-Builder’s Work, or a portion of, is 
sufficiently complete to allow the Owner to legally occupy and utilize the project for its intended 
purpose. At this point, additional work by the Design-Builder may be required to achieve proper 
Substantial Completion. 
 
1.2.20 Final Completion is defined as 100% completion, including all punch lists, Close-Out 
Documents and Owner training/start up activities.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 10 
 
 
at all times when work is being performed, and shall have the necessary expertise and experience 
required to properly supervise the Work. Design-Builder’s Representative shall communicate 
regularly with Owner and shall be vested with the authority to act on behalf of Design-Builder as 
to all matters. Design-Builder’s Representative may only be replaced with the mutual agreement 
of Owner and Design-Builder. 
 
2.1.2 Design-Builder shall provide Owner, on a monthly basis, a written status report detailing 
the progress of the Work, including whether the Work is proceeding according to Schedule, an 
updated Critical Path Method (CPM) Schedule, copies of the construction superintendent’s daily 
site reports, identification of any discrepancies, conflicts, or ambiguities existing in the Contract 
Documents that require resolution, whether health and safety issues have arisen in connection with 
the Work, and whether other items exist that require resolution so as not to jeopardize Design-
Builder’s ability to complete the Work for the Guaranteed Maximum Price and within the Contract 
Time(s). 
 
2.1.3 Design-Builder shall prepare and submit a Logic Net Critical Path Method (CPM) 
Schedule for the work in the Agreement and a detailed cost estimate in CSI or systems format that

Government Agency reviews and all necessary approvals. The schedule shall indicate the dates for 
the start and completion of the various stages of Work, including the dates when Owner 
information and approvals are required and all necessary shutdowns or suspensions of Owner or 
separate vendor activities on the site. The schedule shall be revised as required by conditions and 
progress of the Work, but Design-Builder shall not be relieved of its obligations to complete the 
Work within the Contract Time(s). Owner’s review of the schedule shall not be construed as 
relieving Design-Builder of its complete and exclusive control over the means, methods, 
sequences, and techniques of construction, except as limited and defined elsewhere in the Contract 
Documents. 
 
2.1.4 The parties will meet after execution of each part of this Agreement to discuss issues 
affecting the administration of the Work, and to implement the necessary procedures, including 
submittals and Owner site activity schedules, to permit the parties to perform their obligations 
under the Contract Documents. 
 
2.1.5 With respect to all Work performed by Design-Builder and its Subcontractors and 
Consultants, Design-Builder, its Subcontractors and Consultants, shall keep full and detailed 
accounts and exercise such cost controls as may be necessary for proper financial management,

memoranda, electronic media, books, accounts, reports, files, time cards, material invoices, 
payrolls, and evidence of all communications, direct and indirect costs and all other matters related 
to the Work. Upon request by the Owner, a legible copy or the original of any or all such records 
as are described above shall be produced by the Design-Builder at any time during or after the 
Work as the Owner may request. Upon request the Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 11 
 
 
copies of all payrolls, reports, estimates, records, change order costs and data, and any other data 
concerning Work performed or to be performed, materials supplied or to be supplied, including 
Subcontractor or Consultant payment applications or invoices and such Subcontractor’s or 
Consultant’s progress payment checks. The requirements of this Article shall be provided for in 
all contracts between the Design-Builder and its Subcontractors and Consultants. The Owner may 
exercise its rights under this Paragraph as often as reasonably necessary in the Owner’s sole 
judgment to assure the Owner has a complete and accurate understanding of all Project costs

services performed within the payment period. D-B shall, by an appropriate agreement with each 
of its Sub-Consultants, require each such Sub-Consultant to make payments to its Sub-Sub-
Consultants in a similar manner. Upon request of the Owner, D-B shall furnish documentary 
evidence of compliance with these payment provisions 
 
2.4 
Design Submissions 
 
2.4.1 Based on the Contract Documents, Design-Builder shall submit all required Design 
Submissions to support the overall Project schedule, and to describe the Project’s essential 
elements. The Design Submissions required in the Agreement will include drawings, 
specifications, cost estimates, and other documents, as outlined in “Exhibit B - Scope of Services”. 
At the time of the scheduled Submissions, Design-Builder and Owner shall meet and confer about 
the Submission, with Design-Builder identifying during the meeting, among other things, the 
evolution of the design and significant changes or deviations from the Contract Documents, or 
previously submitted Design Submissions, if any. Minutes of the meeting will be maintained by 
Design-Builder and provided to all attendees for review. Following the design review meeting, 
Owner shall have the opportunity to review the Design Submission and, within three (3), weeks 
share comments with Design-Builder, for incorporation into the design, and to achieve mutual 
agreement on the design by Owner and Design-Builder. 
 
2.4.2 As necessary for the timely completion of the work, Design-Builder shall submit 
Construction Documents describing the requirements for construction of the Work, and reflecting 
a design which has been mutually agreed upon by Owner and Design-Builder. The parties shall

PDF, and/or word processing electronic files compatible with Owner’s software of these 
documents, and any subsequent updates, as outlined in “Exhibit B - Scope of Services”. 
 
2.4.3 Owner’s review of Design-Builder’s Design Submissions is for the purpose of mutually 
establishing a conformed set of Construction Documents that is compatible with the Work. 
Owner’s review of any Design Submission or the Construction Documents shall not be deemed to 
transfer any design or design-related liability or responsibility from Design-Builder to Owner, nor 
to waive any of Owner’s rights.  
 
2.4.4 Because this is a design-build project, Design-Builder may prepare and submit Design 
Submissions and Construction Documents piecemeal and in such sequence as shall assure the 
timely completion of the project.

Legal Requirements 
 
2.5.1 Design-Builder shall perform all Work in accordance with all applicable Legal 
Requirements and shall provide all notices applicable to the Work. 
 
2.5.2 The Guaranteed Maximum Price or Contract Time(s) of performance or both shall be 
adjusted to compensate Design-Builder for any unforeseeable changes in the Legal Requirements 
affecting the performance of the Work, including any revisions Design-Builder is required to 
make following Owner’s approval of Design Submission. 
 
2.6 
Government Approvals and Permits 
 
2.6.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, Design-Builder shall obtain and

temporary utilities, and other temporary facilities to permit Design-Builder to complete all 
construction of the Project consistent with the Contract Documents. 
 
2.7.2 Design-Builder shall perform all construction activities efficiently and with the requisite 
expertise, skill, quality and competence to satisfy the requirements of the Contract Documents. 
Design-Builder shall at all times exercise complete and exclusive control over the means, methods, 
sequences and techniques of construction.  
 
2.7.3 Subcontractor Selection. Regarding the potential employment of Subcontractors on this 
project, D-B is aware of the requirements of A.R.S. Title 34. Upon Owner’s request, D-B will 
provide an attestation of compliance with Title 34.

2.7.3.1 Pre-Construction Phase. Reserved.   
 
2.7.3.2 Construction Phase. Reserved.  
 
2.7.3.3 Reserved.  
 
2.7.3.4 As evidence of compliance with this Article Design-Builder shall furnish to the 
Owner, within 30 days after award of the subcontract, one fully executed copy of 
each subcontract for this Project. Each copy shall consist of the subcontract 
agreement and all special or supplementary conditions applicable to the subcontract. 
 
2.7.4 The Design-Builder shall provide the Owner with requirements and assignment of 
responsibilities for safety precautions and programs as required for the execution of the Work, 
temporary Project facilities and for equipment, materials and services for common use of 
Subcontractors and verify that all such information is included in the Construction Documents.  
 
2.7.5 Design-Builder Self-Performance. 
 
2.7.5.1 The Design-Builder must disclose to the Owner, prior to initiation of Construction 
Phase services, any portions of the Work that the Design-Builder desires to self-perform, and must 
secure written authorization from the Owner to consider self-performance, which authorization 
will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 
2.7.5.2 Reserved. If the Owner authorizes the Design-Builder to consider self-performance 
of any portion of the construction work, the following procedures will be followed. The Design-
Builder must submit its qualifications to do the listed portion(s) of the construction work to the 
Owner and if the Owner is satisfied with Design-Builder’s qualifications as to that portion of the 
construction work, the Owner will designate the Design-Builder as a pre-qualified Subcontractor 
for that portion of the construction work. A bid package for each portion of the construction work 
as to which Design-Builder is a pre-qualified Subcontractor will be prepared in the same manner 
and content as bid packages for Subcontractors in other trades. Design-Builder will submit a 
proposed price (the “Price Submission”) for each of these portions of the construction work. This 
proposed price shall include labor rates, and certify that sub-sub trades and materials will be bid 
with a minimum of three pre-qualified bidders. Overtime for self-performed work shall be 
approved by Owner in writing in advance.  
 
2.7.5.3 At the election of the Parties, and as may be necessary to evaluate the Design-
Builder’s Price Submission on self-performed work, Owner may do any or all of the following at 
the Owner’s discretion: (i) engage an estimator selected by Owner to prepare an independent 
estimate of this portion of the construction work: (ii) engage other consultants to do a construction 
market study to confirm construction market impacts to the cost of this portion of the construction 
work, or (iii) take other action to evaluate the Design-Builder’s Price Submission. In any event, 
Design-Builder is responsible to establish to the Owner’s satisfaction that the Design-Builder’s 
Price Submission is reasonable and appropriate. If the Owner is satisfied that the Design-Builder

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 14 
 
 
Price Submission is reasonable and appropriate, the Owner will advise the Design-Builder that the 
Design-Builder is selected as Subcontractor for the respective portion of the construction work.  
 
2.7.5.4 At the election of the Parties, and as may be necessary, if, at the conclusion of the 
review of the Design-Builder’s proposed price, the Owner is not satisfied that the Design-Builder’s 
Price Submission is reasonable and appropriate, the Owner will so advise the Design-Builder and 
the Design-Builder will proceed in the following manner: There will be a normal Subcontractor 
bid competition for selection of the Subcontractor to perform this portion of the construction work, 
in accordance with the procedures in Article 2.7.3.2, except that, notwithstanding any other 
provision of the Design-Builder Design Phase Services Contract Documents to the contrary, (i) 
the Design-Builder’s Price Submission will be the Design-Builder’s bid for that portion of the 
work in the Subcontractor bidding process; (ii) the Design-Builder must obtain bids for that portion 
of the construction work from a minimum of two other pre-qualified Subcontractors, (iii) the 
Subcontractor bids for that portion of the construction work must be delivered to Owner rather 
than the Design-Builder, and (iv) the Owner will decide which Subcontractor bid to accept, in 
accordance with Article 2.7.3.2. 
 
2.7.6 All required construction subcontractors that are not listed as part of the Design-Build 
Team in the RFQ submittals, shall be contracted with by Design-Builder only after submission to 
and approval by Owner of Design-Builder’s selected subcontractor.  
 
2.7.7 Design-Builder assumes responsibility for its Subcontractor’s successful performance of 
their construction activities and any acts and omissions in connection with the performance of their 
work. Nothing in the Contract Documents is intended to create any legal or contractual relationship 
between Owner and a Subcontractor (of any tier). In addition, nothing in the Contract Documents 
shall be intended to, or deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights.  
 
2.7.8 Design-Builder is responsible for coordinating the activities of all Subcontractors. If  
Owner is performing other work with separate Contractors at the Project with separate contractors 
under Owner’s control, Design-Builder agrees to cooperate and coordinate its Work with the work 
of Owner’s separate contractors so that the Project can be completed in an orderly, efficient and 
coordinated manner reasonably free of significant disruption to any party.  
 
2.7.9 Design-Builder shall keep the Site free from debris, trash and construction wastes to permit 
Design-Builder to perform its construction services efficiently, safely, and so as not to interfere 
with the use of any adjacent land areas, including the reasonable aesthetic appearance of the jobsite 
and all storage/staging areas. Upon Substantial Completion, or if required for Beneficial 
Occupancy of the Work, or a portion of the Work, Design-Builder shall remove all debris, 
materials, wastes, equipment, machinery and tools from the Project to permit Owner to occupy the 
Project or a portion of the Project for the use in which it is intended.  
 
2.7.10 Any changes affecting the previously approved Construction, shall receive prior written 
approval of the Owner.  
 
2.7.11 Design-Builder shall deliver to the Owner, at the completion of the construction of the 
project, the Design Professional Project Closeout Phase Deliverables described in “Exhibit B -

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 15 
 
 
Scope of Services”, and the Contractor Closeout Deliverables described in “Exhibit B - Scope of 
Services”. 
 
2.8 
Budgeting and Guaranteed Maximum Price 
 
2.8.1 The Design-Builder shall provide the Design and Pre-Construction Phase Services for the 
Design and Pre-Construction Phase Fee identified in the Agreement. That fee will be earned based 
upon the amount of Design Phase Work completed. That fee shall be billed and payable monthly 
as a percentage of completion of Design Phase Services. The Construction Phase Services of 
Design-Builder will be provided based upon an Open Book Cost of the Work, plus the separate 
Construction General Conditions and Construction Phase Fee for Design-Builder identified in the 
Agreement, which together comprise the GMP as set forth in Article 2.8.2 below. 
 
2.8.2 As provided for in Article 1.3 of the Agreement and when the design has sufficiently 
progressed, the Design-Builder shall propose a GMP for the construction that is to be based on the 
Cost of the Work. The Design-Builder shall attach to the GMP a list of the Drawings and 
Specifications used by the Design-Builder in preparing and setting the GMP and also a “Statement 
of All Clarifications and Assumptions” that the Design-Builder used to supplement the information 
contained in the Drawings and Specifications Design-Builder has listed. The “Statement of All 
Clarifications and Assumptions” may, at the discretion of Design-Builder, be shown in the form 
of Drawings or be in narrative form or a combination of both, but must in any event be complete 
and detailed. 
 
2.8.3 The Owner will, at its sole discretion, have the option to accept the GMP submitted by 
Design-Builder, request that Design-Builder submit another GMP, or reject the GMP and 
terminate all contracts and agreements with the Design-Builder. In the event of such a termination 
the Design-Builder shall receive payment for services it has provided to date and other reasonable  
termination costs approved by Owner. In this situation, there shall be no amounts paid for any lost 
profits, lost opportunity or other similar costs. 
 
2.8.4 Once accepted by the Owner, the GMP may be revised only by an approved amendment 
or change order. 
 
2.8.5 For any Contingency within the GMP, the criteria for the development of that Contingency 
must be acceptable to the Owner. Thereafter, the Design-Builder must inform the Owner of any 
intended usage of the Contingency, with supporting itemized schedule and pricing documentation, 
to maintain complete records and confirm its appropriate use for the Project.  
  
2.9 
Design-Builder’s Responsibility for Project Safety 
 
2.9.1 Design-Builder recognizes the importance of performing its Work in a safe manner so as 
to prevent damage, injury or loss to (i) all individuals at or in the vicinity of the Project, whether 
working or visiting the Project; (ii) all Work at or relating to the Project, including materials and 
equipment incorporated into the Project or stored on or off site; and (iii) all other property at the 
Project or adjacent thereto. Design-Builder assumes responsibility for implementing and 
monitoring all safety precautions and programs related to the performance of the Work. Design-

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 16 
 
 
Builder shall, prior to commencing construction, designate a Safety Manager with the necessary 
qualifications and experience to supervise the implementation and monitoring of all safety 
precautions and programs related to the Work. The Safety Manager shall make routine daily 
inspections of the Project site, and shall hold weekly safety meetings with Design-Builder’s 
personnel and its Subcontractors.   
 
2.9.2 Design-Builder and its Subcontractors shall comply with all Legal Requirements relating 
to safety, as well as any Owner specific safety requirements set forth in the Contract Documents, 
which do not violate any applicable Legal Requirements. Design-Builder will immediately report, 
in writing, any injury, loss, damage or accident to Owner’s Representative and all government or 
quasi-government authorities having jurisdiction over matters involving the Project or the Work. 
 
2.9.3 Design-Builder’s responsibility for safety under Article 2.9 is not intended to in any way 
relieve Design-Builder’s Subcontractors (of any tier) from applicable obligations and 
responsibilities for complying with all Legal Requirements, including those related to health and 
safety matters, and taking all necessary measures to implement and monitor all safety precautions 
and programs to guard against injury, losses, damages or accidents resulting from their 
performance of the Work. 
 
2.10 
 Design-Builder’s Warranty 
 
2.10.1 Design-Builder warrants to Owner that the construction, including all materials and 
equipment furnished as part of the construction, shall be new unless otherwise specified in the 
Contract Documents, of good quality, in conformance with the Contract Documents and free of 
defects in materials and workmanship. Design-Builder’s warranty obligation excludes defects 
caused by abuse, alterations, or unreasonable failure to maintain the Work by persons other than 
Design-Builder or others under Design-Builder’s control. Nothing in this warranty is intended to 
limit any manufacturer’s warranty which provides Owner with greater warranty rights than set 
forth in this Article 2.10 or the Contract Documents. Design-Builder will provide Owner with all 
manufacturer’s warranties upon Substantial Completion of each Phase of the Project. Design-
Builder shall provide Owner a two (2) year warranty that will commence for all portions of the 
Project upon Substantial Completion of each portion of the Work, as determined by the Owner 
under the Contract requirements. In addition, all statutory warranties related to latent defects will 
remain in force and are not limited by this provision.  
  
2.11 
 Correction of Defective Work 
 
2.11.1 Design-Builder agrees to promptly correct any Work that is found not to be in conformance 
with the Contract Documents. This obligation shall continue for a period of two (2) years from the 
date of Substantial Completion of each portion of the Work as determined by Contract. 
 
2.11.2 Design-Builder, upon receipt of written notice from Owner that the Work is not in 
conformance with the Contract Documents, shall, within seven (7) days (except in the case of an 
emergency which will require immediate response) commence correction of such nonconforming 
Work, including the correction, removal or replacement of the nonconforming Work and any 
damage caused to any other parts of the Work affected by the nonconforming Work. In the event

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 17 
 
 
Design-Builder fails to commence the necessary steps within seven (7) days, Owner, in addition 
to any other remedies provided under the Contract Documents, may at the end of the seven (7) day 
period provide Design-Builder with notice that (i) it will commence to correct such nonconforming 
Work with its own forces; and (ii) Design-Builder shall be responsible for all costs and expenses 
that Owner incurs in remedying any Work not in conformance with the Contract Documents, 
including any and all design professional fees incurred. Owner will notify Design-Builder if its 
intent to make such corrections at or before the commencement of the corrective work. 
 
2.11.3 The two-year period referenced in Article 2.11.1 applies only to the Design-Builder’s 
obligation to correct Work not in conformance with the Contract Documents, and is not intended 
to constitute a period of limitations with respect to any other rights or remedies Owner may have 
with respect to Design-Builder’s other obligations under the Contract Documents. Design-Builder 
acknowledges that, for purposes of statues of limitations, Owner is an instrumentality of the State 
of Arizona, acting in its sovereign capacity. 
 
ARTICLE 3 
OWNER’S SERVICES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 
 
3.1

ARTICLE 4 
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS AND UNCONTEMPLATED  
PROJECT SITE CONDITIONS 
 
4.1 
Hazardous Conditions 
 
4.1.1 It is the sole responsibility of the Design-Builder, as part of the agreed upon GMP, to 
properly remove and dispose of any Hazardous Materials in the Project identified as such in the 
Contract Documents by the Owner. Design-Builder, upon encountering any Hazardous Materials

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 18 
 
 
not identified in the Contract Documents, shall stop Work immediately in the affected area and 
notify Owner and, if required by any Legal Requirements, all governmental or quasi-governmental 
entities with jurisdiction over the Project. Owner has responsibility to take the necessary measures 
required to properly remove and dispose of Hazardous Materials not identified in the Contract 
Documents as being the responsibility of the Design-Builder. 
 
4.1.2 Design-Builder will be entitled, in accordance with the provisions of these General 
Conditions, to an adjustment in the GMP or Contract Time(s) of performance, or both, to the extent 
that the Design-Builder’s costs or time of performance have been adversely and materially 
impacted by the presence of unforeseen or undisclosed Hazardous Materials. 
 
4.1.3 Owner is not responsible for Hazardous Materials introduced to the Site by Design-Builder, 
Subcontractors (of any tier) or anyone else for whom the Design-Builder is responsible unless 
provision of such Hazardous Materials are called for in the Contract Documents.  
 
4.1.4 Design-Builder agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner and others under 
Owner’s control, and the officers, directors, employees and agents of each of them, from and 
against all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorney’s 
fees and expenses, arising out of or resulting from Design-Builder’s importation, improper 
handling, storage, abatement, removal or disposal of any Hazardous Materials by Design-Builder.  
 
4.1.5 Releases of Hazardous Substances. Upon any release of any hazardous substance in 
connection with the Work, whether relating to a pre-existing condition or acts or omissions of 
Design-Builder, Design-Builder shall take immediate action reasonably necessary to contain the 
release and if the hazardous material release is not a Design-Builder release, Owner will pay 
Design-Builder the reasonable costs incurred by Design-Builder in taking such containment action. 
Owner may elect to have Design-Builder control and carry out any containment, clean-up, removal 
and remediation activity needed, provided that if the release is not a Design-Builder release, Owner 
will be responsible to pay Design-Builder for such Design-Builder containment activities in 
accordance with Article 9.4 of these General Conditions, including allowance of additional 
Contract Time thereunder. 
 
4.2 
Uncontemplated Project Site Conditions 
 
4.2.1 If Design-Builder encounters, during the performance of its Work, concealed or latent 
physical conditions or subsurface conditions at the Project which (i) materially differ from the 
conditions indicated in the Contract Documents; or (ii) are of an unusual nature which differ 
materially from the conditions ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the 
Work provided hereunder, Design-Builder shall immediately provide written notice to Owner. 
Design-Builder shall not disturb or modify such conditions without Owner’s prior written consent. 
Owner shall promptly investigate Design-Builder’s claim of an un-contemplated site condition.  
 
4.2.2 If the conditions encountered by Design-Builder in Article 4.2.1 are determined to be 
uncontemplated project site conditions, Design-Builder will be entitled, in accordance with the 
provisions of these General Conditions, to an adjustment in its Guaranteed Maximum Price or 
Contract Time(s) of performance or both to the extent that Design-Builder’s cost or time of

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 19 
 
 
performance have been adversely and materially impacted by the un-contemplated conditions. 
Adjustments to Guaranteed Maximum Price will be for the actual direct cost impact to address un-
contemplated conditions. Extensions of Contract Time(s) will be considered only when based upon 
submission of an updated CPM Schedule showing an actual unavoidable delay to the Project 
Critical Path.  
 
4.2.3 In no event shall the Guaranteed Maximum Price be adjusted for conditions that could or 
should have been observed or determined by the Design-Builder during RFQ Process. 
 
ARTICLE 5  
INSURANCE AND BONDS 
 
5.1 
Design-Builder’s Bond Requirements 
 
5.1.1  The Design-Builder, after acceptance of the GMP by the Owner and prior to the start of 
any Construction Phase Services by the Design-Builder, shall furnish to the Owner performance 
and payment bonds, satisfactory in form to the Owner each in a penal sum equal to one hundred 
percent (100%) of the GMP. These surety bonds in the form attached hereto as Attachment “1” to 
these General Conditions are not to be expressly limited as to time in which action may be 
instituted against the surety company. The bonds shall be furnished on Owner’s forms and shall 
be executed by a surety company authorized to do business in the State of Arizona and shall strictly 
comply with the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 34, which shall control in the event 
of any conflict of the Bonds, or either of them with the requirements of these General Conditions. 
Individual sureties and default type insurance will not be accepted by Owner as a substitute for the 
requisite Design-Builder performance and payment bonds.  
 
5.1.2 The Owner may require each proposed Subcontractor whose initial subcontract amount 
will be $100,000 or more to furnish a performance bond on Owner’s form or on a form approved 
by Owner, which provides equal or better coverage, for the full amount of its subcontract. This 
bond shall be obtained by the Subcontractor as a separate entity and the cost shall be included in 
the Subcontractor’s bid to the Design-Builder. Alternatively, in place of Subcontractor 
performance bonds, if approved in advance by the Owner, the Design-Builder may provide 
Subcontractor default protection that is equivalent or better than bonds provided by the 
Subcontractors. The cost of such bonds or default protection shall be included in the GMP.  
 
5.2 
Design-Builder’s Insurance Requirements 
 
5.2.1 The Design-Builder shall not commence any Work until it obtains all required insurance 
and bonds and furnishes satisfactory proof thereof to the Owner. The Design-Builder shall not 
permit Subcontractors to commence Work until insurance and bond requirements have been 
complied with by Subcontractor.  
 
5.2.2 Insurance coverage assuring the adequacy of the Design-Builder’s performance and 
warranty obligations shall be maintained for the full warranty period specified in Article 2.9.1 and

proof that the policies providing the required coverages are in full force and effect prior to the 
Design-Builder’s performing any work on the premises of the Owner. The certificates for each 
insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its 
behalf. All of the above conditions shall be clearly shown on each certificate. Such certificates 
shall identify this Agreement or be an annual or periodic certificate stating that it covers any and 
all projects or work performed by the Design-Builder during said period. Coverage afforded under 
the policies will not be canceled, terminated or materially altered until at least thirty (30) days' 
prior written notice has been provided by the Design-Builder to the Owner as evidenced by a return 
receipt signed by the Owner. Certificates of insurance should be addressed as follows: 
 
City of Glendale 
 Risk Management Department 
5850 W. Glendale Avenue 
Glendale, AZ 85301 
 
Owner has the right to request and to receive, within ten (10) working days, certified copies of any 
or all of the policies and/or endorsements required in this Agreement. Owner shall not be obligated 
to review same or to advise Design-Builder of any deficiencies in such policies and endorsements, 
and such receipt shall not relieve Design-Builder from, or be deemed waiver of, Owner's right to 
insist on strict fulfillment of Design-Builder’s obligations under this Agreement.  
 
5.3.10 Failure to Provide or Maintain Insurance. Failure on the part of the Design-Builder to 
procure or maintain the required insurance shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement 
upon which the Owner may immediately terminate this Agreement, or at its discretion procure 
new or renew such insurance and pay all premiums in connection therewith, and all monies so paid 
by the Owner shall be repaid by the Design-Builder to the Owner upon demand, or the Owner may 
offset the cost of such premiums together with interest at the statutory legal rate against any money 
due the Design-Builder from the Owner. Costs for coverages maintained by the Design-Builder in  
excess of those required hereunder shall not be charged to the Owner unless otherwise agreed to 
and included in the GMP. 
 
5.3.11 Authorization to Obtain Information. The Owner may, and the Design-Builder hereby 
authorizes the Owner to, request and receive directly from insurance companies utilized by the 
Design-Builder in meeting the insurance requirements, any and all information reasonably 
considered necessary in the sole discretion of the Owner. 
 
5.3.12 Waiver. Design-Builder and its insurers providing the coverages required above shall and 
do hereby waive all rights of recovery against the City of Glendale, Arizona and its officers and 
employees.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 25 
 
 
5.3.13 Claim Reporting. Any failure to comply with the claim reporting provisions of the policies 
or any breach of a policy warranty shall not affect coverage afforded under the policy to protect 
Owner. 
 
5.3.14 Self-insurance. The policies specified herein may provide coverage which contains 
deductibles or self-insured retentions. Such deductibles and/or self-insured retentions shall not be 
applicable with respect to the coverage provided to Owner under such policies. The Design-
Builder shall be solely responsible for any deductible and/or self-insured retention, and Owner, at 
its option, may require the Design-Builder to secure the payment of such deductible or self-insured 
retention by a surety bond or an irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit. 
 
5.3.15 Cancellation of Insurance. In the event any insurance coverage required in their Article 6 
for the Work is canceled, reduced, or terminated, Design-Builder agrees to provide notice to Owner 
and replace the insurance without any lapse of protection to Owner. If such coverage is not 
replaced, or Design-Builder fails to meet any of the requirements for insurance listed above, Owner 
may at its option immediately terminate the Agreement between Owner and Design-Builder, or in 
Owner’s discretion, procure or renew such missing insurance coverage and pay the premiums 
therefore. Any such premium amounts paid by Owner shall be repaid by Design-Builder upon 
demand, or Owner if not paid, may offset the premium cost plus interest at the legal rate from 
Design-Builder’s Final Payment under the Agreement. Except for the Builder’s Risk coverage, the 
Owner's exercise of its option to occupy and use completed portions of the Work shall not relieve 
the Design-Builder of its obligation to maintain insurance required under the insurance provisions 
of this Agreement until the date of Final Completion and/or the expiration of the warranty period 
as specified in 5.3.2, 5.3.3, 5.3.4, and 5.3.7 above. 
 
5.3.16 Contractual Obligations. The stipulation of insurance coverages in this Article 5.3 or 
elsewhere, shall not be construed to limit, qualify, or waive any liabilities or obligations of Design-
Builder, assumed or otherwise, under this Agreement. 
 
5.4 
Owner’s Liability Insurance 
 
5.4.1 The Owner, at its option, may purchase and maintain such insurance as will protect it 
against claims which may arise from operations under the Contract. 
 
ARTICLE 6 
PAYMENT 
 
6.1 
Guaranteed Maximum Price;  
 
6.1.1 The Owner shall pay the Design-Builder for the Design-Builder’s performance of this 
Agreement and the work, and the Design-Builder shall accept the Actual Cost of Work (as defined 
herein) plus the Construction General Conditions and the Construction Phase Fee as payment in 
full; provided, however, that the sum of the Actual Cost of Work plus the Construction General 
Conditions and the Construction Phase Fee shall not exceed the GMP as originally fixed or as 
adjusted from time to time as provided in these General Conditions.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 26 
 
 
6.1.2 Reserved.  
 
6.2 
Schedule Of Values 
 
6.2.1 Before execution of an Amendment to the Agreement authorizing a Guaranteed Maximum 
Price, and commencement of Work in the Construction Phase, the Design-Builder shall submit to 
the Owner, and the parties shall agree upon, a schedule of values, generally similar to the sample 
format in “Exhibit F – Cost of the Work”, setting forth the various portions of the Work, and the 
portions of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to each portion. This schedule of values shall 
be used as a basis for payment as the Work progresses. Those portions of the schedule of values 
allocable to work performed by Subcontractors of the Design-Builder shall be finalized as and 
when the Subcontracts are executed. “Bidding Contingency” may be used for buyout of 
Subcontracts, and shall, upon approval by the Owner, be available for later use by the Design-
Builder as Construction Contingency for reallocation to other line items as provided for in these 
General Conditions. 
 
6.3 
Applications For Progress Payment 
 
6.3.1 The Design-Builder shall deliver to the Owner on the last business Day of each month, or 
as mutually agreed upon a sworn application for progress payment, in a format identical to the 
Schedule of Values approved under Article 6.2.1 above. Each such application for payment shall 
be based on the Schedule of Values and be in an amount determined by the percentage of 
completion of the Work in the month being billed. It shall show the percentage of completion of 
each category of the Work performed in the billing period. The payment application shall be 
accompanied (as separate documents) by (a) an updated CPM Schedule and narrative schedule 
update report as provided for herein, (b) conditional lien waivers from each Subcontractor or 
supplier entitled to progress payment thereunder, and (c) confirmation of updated as-built 
documents. In addition, the Design-Builder shall provide the following documentation upon 
specific request by Owner: a) a written accounting in a form agreed to by Design-Builder and 
Owner of the Cost of Work completed, and b) a report by the Design-Builder on Subcontractor 
buy-out status, contract sums and Subcontractor pay applications. 
 
6.3.2 The Design-Builder Construction Phase Fee shall be paid monthly, or as mutually agreed 
upon in accordance with the percentage of completion of the Work. The Construction General 
Conditions shall be paid monthly based on percentage of work complete. The amount approved 
and paid for progress achieved in the month billed for shall not constitute final acceptance of the 
Work and is subject to final adjustment at the time of final acceptance and Final Payment so as to 
fully comply with, and not exceed, the GMP.  
 
6.3.3 The Owner, within seven (7) days after receipt of the Design-Builder’s application for 
progress payment, and no later, will either a) advise the Design-Builder that the application is 
approved or b) issue specific written findings setting forth those items in detail in the estimate of 
the Work in the pay application that are not approved for payment under the contract. Any items 
that are not specifically identified by the Owner as not approved, with written detailed findings, 
shall be deemed approved.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 27 
 
 
6.3.4 As to any items not approved for payment, the Owner may withhold an amount from the 
progress payment to be made for the time period billed for a sufficient sum to pay the expenses 
Owner reasonably expects to incur in correcting the deficiency set forth in the written finding 
issued by the Owner. 
 
6.4 
Payment and Retainage 
 
6.4.1 Within fourteen (14) days following the receipt of the Design-Builder’s properly submitted 
and accurate payment application, and the issuance of the Owner’s written detailed findings of 
items not approved, if any, the Owner shall pay to the Design-Builder the amount due on the 
progress payment application. However, the payment shall be limited to 90% of the approved value 
of the construction work in place and the value of materials suitably stored in accordance with 
Article 6.7.1 below of these General Conditions during the month being billed, unless otherwise 
agreed upon. The remaining 10% shall be retained by the Owner until the Contract is 50% 
complete at which time the retainage shall be reduced to no more than 5%; provided that: (a) the 
Design-Builder is making satisfactory progress on the Contract; and (b) in the Owner’s sole 
judgment, there is no specific cause or claim requiring a greater amount than 5% to be retained. 
Thereafter, the Owner shall pay the Design-Builder 95% of the value of the construction work and 
materials on approved progress billings, unless and until it determines satisfactory progress is not 
being made, at which time the 10% Retainage may be reinstated. Such 10% reinstatement would 
be 10% of the total contract value of construction work in place and materials stored. The Owner’s 
determination concerning the satisfactory progress of the Work for retainage adjustment purposes 
shall be final.  
 
6.4.2 Within sixty (60) calendar days after the issuance of the Certificate of Final Completion 
and receipt by Owner of all other documents required from Design-Builder by the Contract 
Documents, all retained amounts shall be paid to Design-Builder as part of Final Payment provided 
however: a) the Final Payment shall not become due from Owner until the Design-Builder delivers 
to the Owner all items set forth in Article 6.13, including full and final unconditional releases in 
statutory form from all Subcontractors and major Suppliers acknowledging that they have received 
payment in full; any claim filed thereafter shall be the responsibility of the Design-Builder, and b) 
if any claim does remain unsatisfied after all payments are made by Owner, the Design-Builder 
shall immediately upon demand refund to the Owner all monies that the latter may be compelled 
to pay in discharging such unsatisfied claim including all costs, interest and attorneys’ fees.  
 
6.4.3 Design-Builder may, in the alterative, furnish a substitute security in lieu of the 10% 
retainage, provided the City of Glendale issues its written consent to this alternative.  
 
6.5 
Early Release of Subcontractor Retainage 
 
6.5.1 If a Subcontractor has completed its portion of the Work (including all Punch list items) 
pursuant to any given Subcontract, the Design-Builder may request the Owner to disburse the 
Retainage allocable to such Subcontractor, after delivering to the Owner any necessary consent to 
such disbursement from such Subcontractor’s surety, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the 
Owner. If the Owner is reasonably satisfied that the Subcontractor’s Work has been completed in 
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner shall disburse said Retainage to Design-

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 28 
 
 
Builder for payment to the Subcontractor, and the two-year warranty period with respect to such 
Work shall commence at Final Completion of the Work. 
 
6.6 
 Payment for On-Site and Off-Site Materials 
 
6.6.1 Payment shall be made on account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored 
at the Site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. Payment may be similarly made for materials 
and equipment suitably stored off the Site, conditioned upon the Design-Builder furnishing 
evidence to the Owner that (a) title to the materials and equipment will pass to the Owner upon 
payment therefor; (b) the materials and equipment are adequately insured; and (c) such other 
matters as the Owner may reasonably request in order to protect its interests. 
 
6.7 
Title to Construction Work 
 
6.7.1 The Design-Builder warrants that title to all Construction Work covered by an Application 
for Payment shall pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Design-Builder further 
warrants that upon submittal of an Application for Payment, all Construction Work for which 
Applications for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner 
shall, to the best of the Design-Builder’s knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of 
liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Design-Builder, Consultants, 
Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having 
provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work. Design-Builder shall provide 
unconditional waivers of lien from each Subcontractor or Consultant when requested by Owner. 
 
6.8 
Withholding of Payment 
 
6.8.1 The Owner may withhold payment on account of an Application for Payment to the extent 
necessary to protect the Owner from loss because of: 
 
6.8.1.1 Defective Work not remedied;  
 
6.8.1.2 Claims filed by third parties, or reasonable evidence indicating the probable filing 
of such claims alleging personal injury or property damage (other than to the Work itself) to the 
extent not covered by insurance.  
 
6.8.1.3 Failure of the Design-Builder to make payments of undisputed amounts to 
Consultants, or Subcontractors for labor, materials or equipment; 
 
6.8.1.4 Damage to the Owner or a Separate Contractor caused by the fault or neglect of the 
Design-Builder to the extent not covered by insurance; or  
 
6.8.1.5 Reasonable evidence that the Work will not be Substantially Completed within the 
Contract Time due to Un-excusable Delay. 
 
When the above reasons for withholding payment are removed, payment shall be made for 
amounts previously withheld. Prior to any withholding pursuant to this Article, the Owner shall

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 29 
 
 
meet with Design-Builder to discuss potential withholding, and attempt in good faith to resolve 
such issue without the need for withholding. 
 
6.9 
Failure of Payment 
 
6.9.1 If the Owner does not pay the Design-Builder within fourteen (14) Days after the date 
established herein the Design-Builder may proceed as set forth in Article 11.3 below. 
 
6.10 
Substantial Completions  
 
6.10.1 When the Design-Builder considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner 
agrees to accept separately, is Substantially Complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit 
to the Owner a comprehensive list of Punch List items. The Design-Builder shall proceed promptly 
to complete and correct Punch List items. Failure to include an item on the Punch List does not 
alter the responsibility of the Design-Builder to complete all work in accordance with the Contract 
Documents. Upon five (5) working days of receipt of the Punch List, the Owner and Design-
Builder will jointly make an inspection to determine whether Substantial Completion has occurred. 
If it is determined by the Owner that the work or a portion thereof is Substantially Complete, the 
Owner shall issue the Certificate of Substantial Completion stating the date of Substantial 
Completion which shall be executed by the Owner and the Design-Builder. 
 
6.11 
Beneficial Occupancy 
 
6.11.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially complete portion of the 
Construction Work at any time, provided such Beneficial Occupancy or use is authorized by public 
authorities having jurisdiction over the Construction Work. Such Beneficial Occupancy or use may 
commence whether or not the portion is Substantially Complete, provided the Owner and the 
Design-Builder have accepted, in writing, the responsibilities assigned to each of them for 
payment, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Construction Work and insurance, 
and have agreed, in writing, concerning the period for correction of the Construction Work. 
Immediately prior to such Beneficial Occupancy, the Owner and the Design-Builder shall jointly 
inspect the area to be occupied in order to determine and record the condition of the Construction 
Work. Unless otherwise agreed, Beneficial Occupancy or use of a portion of the Construction 
Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the 
Construction Documents and does not establish the date of Substantial Completion. 
 
6.12 
Final Completion and Final Payment 
 
6.12.1  Completion of all outstanding Work items noted in the Substantial Completion “Punch 
List” for the entire Work or portion thereof and other Contract requirements is required for Owner 
to certify Final Completion. The requirements include, but are not limited to, equipment operations 
training for Owner, and submission and approval by Owner of all Record and Close Out 
Documents such as record drawings and specifications, operation and maintenance instructions, 
maintenance agreements (if any), and extended transferable warranties.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 30 
 
 
 
6.12.2 Conditions Precedent to Final Payment. Neither final payment nor any final release of 
Retainage shall become due until the Design-Builder submits to the Owner:  
 
6.12.2.1 
An affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and all pays to 
all subcontractors, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or the 
Owner’s property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by the Owner) have 
been paid or otherwise satisfied;  
 
6.12.2.2 
A certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Contract Documents  
to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to 
expire until at least thirty (30) Days’ prior written notice has been given to the Owner;  
 
6.12.2.3 
Consent of Surety to final payment; and  
 
6.12.2.4 
If required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of 
obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or 
encumbrances arising out of the Contract Documents.  
 
6.12.3 If after Substantial Completion of the Work, Final Completion is materially delayed 
through no fault of the Design-Builder or by the issuance of additional Change Orders or Change 
Directives by the Owner, the Owner may at its sole discretion, upon request of the Design-Builder, 
and without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the 
Work fully completed. If the remaining balance for Work not fully completed is less than the 
Retainage, and if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the 
balance for that portion of the Work fully completed shall be submitted by the Design-Builder to 
the Owner, and such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final 
payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims by either the Design-Builder or the 
Owner.  
 
6.12.4 Acceptance of final payment by the Design-Builder shall constitute a waiver of affirmative 
claims by the Design-Builder. The making of the final payment by the Owner shall constitute a 
waiver of claims by the Owner, except those arising from (a) liens, claims, security interests and 
encumbrances arising out of the Work after final payment; (b) latent defects arising after final 
payment; or (c) the terms of warranties required by the Contract Documents.  
 
6.13 
Allowances 
 
6.13.1 The Design-Builder shall include in the GMP all Allowances stated in the Contract 
Documents. Items covered by Allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons 
or entities as the Owner may direct, but the Design-Builder shall not be required to employ persons 
or entities against which the Design-Builder makes reasonable objection. Unless otherwise 
provided in the Contract Documents:  
a) 
Materials and equipment under an Allowance shall be selected by the Owner within 
a reasonable time frame as defined in the Owner approved Project CPM Schedule; 
b) 
Allowances shall cover the cost to the Design-Builder of materials and equipment 
delivered at the Site and all required taxes, less applicable trade discounts;

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 31 
 
 
c) 
Allowances shall not include professional or construction fees, Construction General 
Conditions, or bond or insurance premiums;  
d) 
Allowances shall cover Design-Builder’s costs for unloading and handling at the Site, 
labor, installation costs and other expenses;  
e) 
Whenever costs are more than or less than Allowances, the GMP may be adjusted 
accordingly by change order in accordance with provisions of Article 9. The amount 
of the change order shall reflect the difference between actual costs and the 
Allowances plus Fee on such difference in accordance with Article 9 hereof if the 
actual costs are greater than the Allowances.  
 
6.14 
Contingency 
 
6.14.1 The Design-Builder and the Owner acknowledge that the Guaranteed Maximum Price 
contains a line item for a “Bidding Contingency or Construction Contingency”. On a monthly 
basis, after finalization (i.e., “buyout” or subcontractor contract issuance) of a line item, the 
Schedule of Values will be adjusted to reflect the actual amount. Contingencies shall not be carried 
in line item amounts after finalization. The Bidding Contingency, upon approval of the Owner, 
shall be for the Design-Builder’s use and shall be increased by amounts not expended on other line 
item bid packages and shall decrease by additional amounts required to be expended on other line 
item bid packages. Following completion of all contract execution by Subcontractors (Project 
finalization), Bidding Contingency shall become Construction Contingency and Design-Builder 
may use this Construction Contingency for legitimate unforeseen construction expenses, subject 
to Owner’s review or approval, at Owner’s discretion.  
 
Design-Builder shall submit detailed monthly reports to Owner indicating how the Construction 
Contingency was used in the reporting period, and the status of the Construction Contingency. The 
Owner has the authority to reject any use of the Construction Contingency after it has been 
submitted if the Owner believes in its reasonable judgment that some or all of the amount included 
in the use of the Construction Contingency is not a legitimate expense for the Project. Upon the 
Owner’s rejection of a Construction Contingency use, the Design-Builder will thereupon credit the 
Construction Contingency amount back to the Construction Contingency in the next subsequent  
payment request. Any amounts remaining in “Bidding Contingency or Construction Contingency” 
at Final Completion shall be deemed Savings and will be allocated to Owner as such. Should the 
“Bidding Contingency or Construction Contingency” be exhausted prior to award of all the bid 
packages, any subsequent overruns in bid package costs shall be the Design-Builder’s sole 
responsibility, with no additional compensation due thereon from the Owner. 
 
6.14.2 Contingency shall not be used for Construction General Conditions unless approved in 
writing by the Owner.  
 
6.14.3 Upon award of each bid package, the difference between the Design-Builder’s estimated 
Cost of the Work contained within the bid package, exclusive of contingency, versus the actual 
award cost thereof as determined by the bidding and award of the package shall be promptly 
calculated. If the award cost exceeds the Design-Builder’s estimated cost in the GMP, any 
necessary portion of the Bidding Contingency shall be applied, subject to Owner’s approval, to 
cover any overrun and any underrun amount shall be used to increase the Bidding Contingency.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 32 
 
 
 
6.14.4 Design-Builder will include an explicit requirement that change orders between Design-
Builder and the Subcontractors will be priced consistent with the requirement of Article 10 of these 
General Conditions with adequate itemized change order pricing regardless of whether or not there 
is a comparable change order between Design-Builder and the Owner. In addition, Design-Builder 
shall retain, and make available to Owner upon request, all bid documents including requests for 
proposals, requests for quotes, and bid responses from both successful and unsuccessful bidding 
Subcontractors.  
 
6.14.5 Any amounts remaining in Contingency at Final Completion shall be Savings and will be 
distributed per Article 6.1.

NOT USED. RESERVED 
 
ARTICLE 7 
INDEMNIFICATION 
 
7.1 
Proprietary Rights, Patent And Copyright Infringement 
 
7.1.1 Design-Builder shall defend any action or proceeding brought against Owner based on any 
claim that the Work, or any part thereof, or the operation thereof or use of the Work or any part 
thereof, constitutes infringement of any proprietary rights, patent or copyright, now or hereafter 
issued (“Proprietary Rights”). Owner agrees to give prompt notice in writing to Design-Builder of 
any such action or proceeding and to provide authority, information and assistance in the defense 
of same. Design-Builder shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner from and against all damages 
and costs, including attorney’s fees, awarded against Owner or Design-Builder in any such action 
or proceeding. Design-Builder further agrees to keep Owner informed of all developments in the 
defense of such actions.  
 
7.1.2 In the event that Owner is enjoined from the operation or use of the Work, or any part 
thereof in connection with any infringed Proprietary Rights, Design-Builder shall at its sole 
expense take reasonable steps to procure the right or license to operate or use the Work. If Design-
Builder cannot so procure the aforesaid right within a reasonable time, Design-Builder shall then, 
promptly, at Design-Builder’s option and at Design-Builder’s expense (i) modify the Work so to 
avoid infringement of any patents, or copyrights; or (ii) replace said Work with Work that does 
not infringe or violate any such Proprietary Rights.  
 
7.1.3 Articles 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 above shall not be applicable to any action or proceeding based on 
infringement or violation of a proprietary rights, patent or copyright (i) relating solely to a 
particular process or the product of a particular manufacturer specified by Owner and such 
processes or products which are something other than that which has been offered or recommended 
by Design-Builder to Owner; or (ii) arising from modifications to the Work by Owner or its agents 
after acceptance of the Work.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 33 
 
 
7.1.4 In addition to the other obligations of Design-Builder under this Article 7.1, Design-
Builder will be responsible for delays and for increases in the cost of the work associated with or 
arising out of any claim of infringed Proprietary Rights. 
 
7.2 
Indemnification 
 
7.2.1 Design-Builder shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the City of Glendale, 
Arizona and its officers, officials, agents, and employees (hereinafter referred to as “Indemnitee”) 
from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including 
court costs, attorneys’ fees, and costs of claim processing, investigation and litigation) (hereinafter 
referred to as “Claims”) for bodily injury or personal injury (including death), or loss or damage 
to property caused, or alleged to be caused, by the acts or omissions of Design-Builder or any of 
its owners, officers, directors, agents, employees, or Sub-consultants, arising out of performance 
of the Work or this Agreement, or in connection with the Project or defects in the Work, or any 
materials supplied. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under 
the Workers’ Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of such Design-Builder or contractor 
to conform to any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. It 
is agreed that Design-Builder will be responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and 
judgment costs where this indemnification is applicable. In consideration of the award of this 
contract, the Design-Builder agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against the City of Glendale, 
Arizona and its officers, officials, agents and employees for losses arising from the work 
performed by the Design-Builder. 
 
ARTICLE 8 
TIME 
 
8.1.1 Both the Design-Builder and Owner recognize that any time limits set forth in the Contract 
Documents are of the essence of this Agreement. Design-Builder agrees that, consistent with the 
times set forth in Article 5 of the Agreement, it will commence performance of the Work, achieve 
Substantial and Final Completion of the entire Work and achieve, any interim milestones for 
Substantial and Final Completion dates.  
 
8.1.2 If Design-Builder is delayed in the performance of its Work based upon a Critical Path 
analysis of the current Owner accepted Critical Path Method (CPM) Schedule due to unforeseeable 
acts, omissions, conditions, events, or circumstances beyond its control or prevention and due to 
no Legal fault of its own or those for whom Design-Builder is responsible under the terms of the 
Contract Documents, the time for Substantial Completion of the Work, and to the extent 
applicable, any interim milestones or Substantial Completion dates for portions of the work shall 
be reasonably extended by written Change Order. By way of example only, such acts, omissions, 
conditions, events, and circumstances which would entitle Design-Builder to an extension of the 
Contract Time(s), include acts or omissions of Owner, or anyone under Owner’s control, including 
separate contractors, changes ordered in the Work by Owner, uncontemplated project site 
conditions, wars, floods, labor disputes, unusual delay in transportation, and unusually adverse 
weather conditions.

Exhibit A - Design-Build Agreement General Conditions (January 15, 2023 Edition) 
Page 34 
 
 
8.1.3 Design-Builder shall be entitled to an appropriate adjustment of its Guaranteed Maximum 
Price for extended Construction General Conditions only for mutually determined delays as 
defined in 8.1.2 directly caused by the actions or inactions of the Owner. 
 
ARTICLE 9 
CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT PRICE AND TIME 
 
9.1 
Change Order 
 
9.1.1 A Change Order is a written instrument issued after execution of the Agreement signed by 
Owner and Design-Builder, stating their agreement upon all of the following: 
 
1. The scope of the change in the Work and the reason(s) therefor; 
2. The amount of the adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price; and 
3. The extent of the adjustment, if any, to the Contract Time(s) of performance set forth

support of Design-Builder Change Order with Owner, shall contain, at a 
minimum, same level of detail as Design-Builder provides in items 1) through 
4) above in this Article 9.4.3(b). 
 
c)

substantiating data to facilitate evaluations; provided that such lump sum shall not 
exceed that amount calculated under (b) above. 
 
9.4.4 Any dispute regarding the pricing methodology or cost of a change shall not relieve the 
Design-Builder from proceeding with the change as directed by the Owner. The cost or credit to 
the Owner shall be determined by the Owner or its Representatives on the basis of the preceding 
subsection.  
 
9.4.5 An Owner approved written Change Order shall be full and final settlement of all claims 
for direct, indirect, delay, disruption, inefficiency and any other consequential costs related to 
items covered or affected, as well as time extensions. Any such claim not presented by the Design-
Builder for inclusion in the Change Order is irrevocably waived.  
 
9.4.6 In the event that Owner and the Design-Builder disagree upon whether Design-Builder is 
entitled to be paid for any services required by Owner, or in the event of any other disagreements 
over the scope of Work or proposed changes to the Work, Owner and Design-Builder agree to 
resolve the disagreement consistent with Article 10 of these General Conditions. As part of the 
negotiation process, Design-Builder shall furnish Owner with a good faith estimate of the costs 
to perform the disputed services in accordance with Owner’s interpretations. If the parties are 
unable to agree, and Owner expects Design-Builder to perform the services in accordance with 
Owner’s interpretations, Design-Builder shall proceed to perform the disputed services, 
conditioned upon Owner issuing a written order to Design-Builder directing Design-Builder to 
proceed and specifying Owner’s interpretation of the services that are to be performed.

parties, the parties agree to submit the dispute or disagreement to modified mediation.

11.1.2 Design-Builder may seek an adjustment of the Guaranteed Maximum Price or Contract 
Time(s) of performance or both under Article 9 of the General Conditions to the extent that its 
Work has been adversely impacted by any suspension or stoppage of work by Owner, unless

the Contract Documents or by law, after seven (7) days written notice to Design-Builder and 
Design-Builder’s failure to commence to cure the default within said time, to (i) perform and 
furnish through itself or through others any such labor, materials, or Work, and to deduct the cost 
thereof from any monies due or to become due to Design-Builder under the Contract Documents;

Page 39 
 
 
equipment scaffolds, tools, appliances, and other items thereon, all of which Design-Builder 
hereby transfers, assigns and sets over to Owner for such purpose, and to employ any person or

11.2.2 Reserved.   
 
11.2.3 The parties agree that if Design-Builder institutes or has instituted against it a case under

performance of its obligations under the Contract Documents. Accordingly, should such event 
occur, Owner shall be entitled to request Design-Builder, its trustee or other successor, to provide

performance and actual performance in accordance herewith. In the event of such bankruptcy 
proceedings, the Contract Document shall terminate if Design-Builder rejects the Agreement or if 
there has been a default under the Agreement, and Design-Builder is unable to give adequate 
assurances that it will perform as provided in the Agreement or otherwise is unable to comply with 
the requirements for assuming the Agreement under the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy 
Code.

with written notice indicating that such condition set forth in Article 11.3.1 has occurred, and it is 
Design-Builder’s intention to stop work or terminate the Agreement if said event is not cured 
within seven (7) days from Owner’s receipt of Design-Builder’s notice, unless the alleged cause 
of termination is cured. In the event that Design-Builder elects to stop work, it may later indicate 
its intention to terminate the Agreement by providing Owner with written notice that Design-
Builder will terminate the Agreement within seven (7) days from receipt of Design-Builder’s 
notice; unless the alleged cause of termination is cured.  
 
11.3.3 In the event Design-Builder elects to stop Work under Article 11.3.2, Design-Builder shall 
be entitled to make a claim for adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price and Contract Time(s)

right to use the Contract Documents in the event Design-Builder terminates the Agreement will be 
governed by Article 4.2 of the Standard Form Agreement.

Bound AutoCAD Drawings 
Deliver Project Record Drawings to the Owner electronically.  
1. The intent of these guidelines is to enable the Owner to collect, archive, and use at a later 
date digital copies of Record Drawings for any construction project. These projects include 
(but are not limited to) new construction, renovations, additions, utility work, and interiors 
work. The Owner considers it important to maintain accurate records of new work for several 
reasons:  
• Accurate information (e.g. underground utilities and tunnels) for future projects.  
• Accurate base drawings for future projects, enabling consultants to modify existing 
drawings instead of creating new drawings from field measurements.  
• Accurate data for the Enterprise Geographic Information System (EGIS). 
2. The D-B is responsible for verifying the accuracy of all drawings. Appropriate notation 
should be attached (Record Drawings) or detached (official seals and signatures) from each 
drawing. There should be an overall consistency in the format of the Record Drawings as 
further described below.  
3. The Transmittal for the Record Drawings Submittal should contain the following 
information:  
• City of Glendale Building Number and Address, Project Number, and Project Name, in the 
following format:  
• ZZZZ.XX-XXXX-ABCDEF, where ZZZZ is the building number, XX-XXXX is the City 
of Glendale Project Number, and ABCDEF is the City of Glendale’s Project Name  
• Firm name and contact information  
• Discipline (Architectural, Mechanical, Landscape, etc.)  
• RECORD DRAWINGS  
• Date of the Record Drawings Submittal 
Format: 
Drawings: All drawings shall be submitted in an AutoCAD .dwg format  
Graphics: Preferred formats for graphics (photos, sketches, renderings, etc.) include: .jpg and 
.pdf 
Content of Record Drawings Digital Submittal:  
Submit a digital copy of each sheet in the set, and a list of each sheet by page number with 
the contents of the sheet and the name of any raster images that are attached. 
Record Drawings Label: 
• Revision dates should be updated for each submission in the title block (with the last date 
being the date of the Record Drawings submission).  
• Record Drawings should be clearly seen in bold letters along the bottom of the sheet or 
near the title block on the right side of the sheet.  
Digital Record Drawings: 
• The electronic copies of the Record Drawings should be usable in AutoCAD Release 2013, 
however the drawings themselves don’t need to be drawn in this release. Usable is defined 
as being able to easily identify the file needed, open it, select the appropriate layout tab 
(representing one sheet from the hardcopy set), and send it to the plotter without have to

Exhibit B - Design-Build Agreement Scope of Services (January 15, 2023 Edition)  
Page 24 
 
assign proxy graphics, reconnect (and find) External References (referred to as xrefs from 
here forward) and raster images, or find a missing .ctb or .stb (plot style tables) file.  
• Each .dwg file should be named using the following format: Sheet Number-xyz where xyz 
is a project number or project name or other further identifying label as determined by the 
DP. For example: Sheet A1.00 should not be in a file called A1, but it should be in a file 
called A1.00-xyz.dwg  
• If more than one sheet is contained in one file, then the file should be composed to only 
have one sheet per file and then naming each accordingly.  
• Each sheet should be set up on a layout tab of its own in paper space. Each layout tab 
should be renamed with the sheet number represented on it. Any unused layout tabs should 
be deleted.  
• All xrefs should be bound. Any xrefs no longer needed in a drawing should be “detached” 
and not just “unloaded”.  
• In order to prevent missing raster images, before transferring the digital files, place all 
raster images in the same folder as the file into which they are referenced.  
• When the transferred files are opened, individual files should be available either in the root 
folder or in the first sub-folder. In other words, one shouldn’t have to open 2 or more sub-
folders to find a file.  
• The file with pen weights (.ctb or .stb file) should be included in the transfer, along with 
any other non-standard font or shape files.  
• Each layout should be set up for either 24”x36” or 30”x42” according to the following 
settings: 
Plotter: None 
Plot Area: Layout 
Pen Assignment: As per D-B’s own .ctb or .stb file 
Scale: 1:1 
Viewports: Should be zoomed to appropriate scale and locked 
Paper size: ArchD (24”x36”) or E1 (30”x42”) that matches the plotted drawing set

different layer, etc.). Name each layer within categories as noted below (e.g. Hardscape, 
Irrigation, Building Footprint, etc.) name beginning with a standard prefix for that category 
(e.g. Plant_xyz.dwg, Irrig_xyz.dwg, etc.). Name layers in a way which legibly communicates 
the subject layer. This could be in one or several drawings, although all layers must spatially 
register with each other properly.
