ARTICLE 11: ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
11.1
Scope. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere in the Contract, the alternative
dispute resolution (“ADR”) process provided herein shall be the exclusive means for resolution of
claims or disputes arising under or related to the Contract, the interpretation thereof or the
performance or breach by any party thereto, including but not limited to original claims or disputes
asserted as cross claims, counterclaims, third party claims or claims for indemnity or subrogation,
in any threatened or ongoing litigation or arbitration with third parties, if such disputes involve
parties to contracts containing this ADR provision. No changes can be made to this process without
the mutual assent of the County and the claimant. The parties have structured this procedure with
the goal of providing for the prompt, efficient and final resolution of all disputes falling within the
purview of this ADR process.
11.2
Meeting of Principals. When a claim is made or a dispute (hereafter “dispute”) as described in
Paragraph 1.1 arises, senior representatives of the County and the claimant will meet personally
within ten (10) business days to discuss the dispute and attempt to resolve it. If, after good faith
efforts, resolution is not achieved, the dispute will proceed to mediation.
11.3
Qualifications of Mediator and Arbitrators. Any person selected as mediator or arbitrator, either as
single arbitrator as a member or Chair of the arbitration panel, shall be a member of the State Bar
of Arizona and have experience in construction law.
11.4
Mediation. If the parties have been unable to resolve the dispute after a meeting of principals, the
parties may enter into mediation. The parties shall jointly select a mediator. The parties may
mutually agree to waive mediation and proceed directly to arbitration. If the mediation process is
requested by either party, the mediation period shall be informal and shall not exceed sixty (60)
calendar days from the selection of the mediator. During the mediation process either party may
terminate mediation on written notice to the other party and the mediator.
11.5
Binding Arbitration Procedure. The following binding arbitration procedure shall serve as the
exclusive method to resolve a dispute if mediation is unsuccessful, if mediation has been waived
by the parties, or if a party requests arbitration during the mediation process. Except as provided
in Section 1.7.5 and 1.7.9, the decision of the arbitrator or arbitrator panel is final and binding on
the parties and not subject to further judicial review.
11.5.1
A party requesting binding arbitration shall notify the other party of their demand for
arbitration in writing within seven (7) calendar days of (1) the failure of mediation; (2) waiver
of mediation; or (3) of the party’s demand to terminate mediation.
11.5.2
If the Architect requests arbitration it shall post a cash bond with the arbitrator in an
amount agreed upon by the parties or, in the event of no agreement, the arbitrator shall
establish the amount of the cash bond to defray the cost of the arbitration and the proceeds
from the bond shall be allocated in accordance with paragraph 1.7.7. The bond must be
in the full amount agreed upon or as established by the Arbitrator to pay the potential cost
of the full arbitration proceeding. The bond must be posted with and received by the
arbitrator within five (5) calendar days after the demand for arbitration.

11.5.3
Disputes involving less than $200,000 shall be heard by one single arbitrator chosen by
agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the single arbitrator, then the
parties shall each submit two names to a Judge designated by Maricopa County who shall
select the single arbitrator.
11.5.4
For disputes in excess of $200,000, the arbitration panel shall consist of three arbitrators:
the County's appointed arbitrator, the Architect appointed arbitrator and a third arbitrator
who shall be selected by the parties' arbitrators and serve as the Chair of the arbitration
panel.
11.5.5
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.
11.6
Expedited Hearing. Any party can request the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel
to set an expedited hearing. If the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel determines
that the circumstances justify it, the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel will arrange
for scheduling of the arbitration at the earliest possible date. In any event, the hearing of any
dispute not expedited will commence as soon as practical but in no event later than thirty (30)
calendar days after notification of request for arbitration having been received. This deadline can
be extended only with the consent of all the parties to the dispute, or by decision of the single
arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel upon a showing of good cause.
11.7
Procedure. The single arbitrator or the arbitration panel will conduct the hearing in such a manner
that will resolve disputes in a prompt, cost efficient manner giving regard to the rights of all parties.
Each party shall supply to the single arbitrator or arbitration panel a written pre-hearing statement
which shall contain a brief statement of the nature of the claim or defense, a list of witnesses and
exhibits, a brief description of the subject matter of the testimony of each witness who will be called
to testify, and an estimate as to the length of time that will be required for the arbitration hearing.
The single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel shall determine the nature and scope of
discovery, if any, and the manner of presentation of relevant evidence consistent with deadlines
provided herein, and the parties’ objective that disputes be resolved in a prompt and efficient
manner. No discovery may be had of any materials or information for which a privilege is
recognized by Arizona law. The single arbitrator or the Chair upon proper application shall issue
such orders as may be necessary and permissible under law to protect confidential, proprietary or
sensitive materials or information from public disclosure or other misuse. Any party may make
application to the Maricopa County Superior Court to have a protective order entered as may be
appropriate to confirm or enforce such orders of the Chair.
11.7.1
Hearing Days. In order to effectuate parties’ goals, the hearing once commenced, will
proceed from working day to working day until concluded, absent a showing of good cause.
11.7.2
Award. The single arbitrator shall within ten (10) calendar days of the conclusion of a
hearing issue an award. The arbitration panel shall, within ten (10) calendar days from the
conclusion of any hearing, by majority vote, issue its award. The award shall include an
allocation of fees and costs pursuant to 1.7.7 herein. The award is to be in accordance
with the Contract and the law of the State of Arizona.
11.7.3
Scope of Award. Regardless of the provisions of the RUAA, the arbitration panel shall be
without authority to award punitive damages, and any such punitive damage award shall
be void. If an award is made against any party in excess of one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), exclusive of interest, arbitration fees, costs and attorneys’ fees, it shall be
supported by written findings of fact, conclusions of law and a statement as to how
damages were calculated.

Serial # 220012-ROQ
11.7.4
Jurisdiction. The arbitration panel shall not be bound for jurisdictional purposes by the
amount asserted in any party’s claim, but shall conduct a preliminary hearing into the
question of jurisdiction over the claim as regards its amount upon application of any party
at the earliest convenient time, but not later than the commencement of the arbitration
hearing. If the dispute is determined to involve less than $200,000, the arbitration shall
continue before the Neutral Arbitrator as a single arbitrator, with the party appointed
arbitrators being excused.
11.7.5
Entry of Judgment. As provided in the RUAA, any party can make application to the
Maricopa County Superior Court for confirmation of an award, and for entry of judgment on
it.
11.7.6
Severance and Joinder. To reduce the possibility of inconsistent adjudications, the
Mediator or the single arbitrator or arbitration panel, may: (i) at the request of any party,
join and/or sever parties, and/or claims arising under other contracts containing this ADR
provision, and (ii) the Mediator, on his own authority, or the single arbitrator or arbitration
panel may, on its own authority, join or sever parties and/or claims subject to this ADR
process as deemed necessary for a just resolution of the dispute, consistent with the
parties’ goal of the prompt and efficient resolution of disputes, provided; however, that the
A/E, OWNER and Project Professionals shall not be joined as a party to any claim made
by an Architect. Nothing herein shall create the right by any party to assert claims against
another party not arising under or related to the Contract or not recognized under the
substantive law as applicable to the dispute. Neither the Mediator nor the single arbitrator
or arbitration panel is authorized to join to the proceeding parties not in privity with the
County. The Architect cannot be joined to any pending arbitration proceeding, without
Architect express written consent and unless Architect is given the opportunity to
participate in the selection of the single arbitrator or non-County appointed arbitrator.
11.7.7
Fees and Costs. Each party shall bear its own fees and costs in connection with any
informal hearing before the mediation. All fees and costs associated with any arbitration
before the single panel or arbitration panel, including without limitation the arbitrator fees,
and the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and costs, will
be paid by the non-prevailing party, except as provided for herein. In the event that
Architect is the non-prevailing party, all fees and costs as noted above shall first be paid
out of the bond posted with the arbitrator. In no event shall the Architect 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.
11.7.8
Confidentiality. Any proceeding initiated under this ADR provision shall be deemed
confidential to the maximum extent allowed by Arizona law and, except for disclosures to
a party’s attorneys or accountants, no party shall make any disclosure related to the
disputed matter or to the outcome of any proceeding except to the extent required by law,
or to seek interim equitable relief, or to enforce an agreement reached by the parties or an
award made hereunder. This provision does not affect the County’s right to inform the
County Supervisors of the dispute.
11.7.9
Equitable Litigation. Notwithstanding any other provision of ADR to the contrary, any party
can petition the Maricopa County Superior Court for interim equitable relief as may become
necessary to preserve the status quo and prevent immediate and irreparable harm to a
party or to the Project pending resolution of a dispute pursuant to ADR provided herein.
No court may order any permanent injunctive relief except as may be necessary to enforce
MCSO Warehouse Durango Campus
Page | 28
DBB Professional Services Contract
Serial # 220012-ROQ
an order entered by the arbitration panel. The fees and costs incurred in connection with
any such equitable proceeding shall be determined and assessed in ADR.
11.7.10 Change Order. Any award in favor of the Architect against the County or in favor of the
County against the Architect shall be reduced to a Change Order and executed by the
parties in accordance with the award and the provisions of the Contract or a settlement
agreement as appropriate.
11.7.11 Merger and Bar. Any claim asserted pursuant to this ADR process shall be deemed to
include all claims, demands, and requests for compensation for costs and losses or other
relief, including the extension of the Contract performance period which reasonably should
or could have been brought against any party that was or could have been brought into
this ADR process, with respect to the subject claim. The arbitration panel shall apply legal
principles commonly known as merger and bar to deny any claim or claims against any
party regarding which claim or claims recovery has been sought or should have been
sought in a previously adjudicated claim for an alleged cost, loss, breach, error, or
omission.
11.8
Inclusion in Other Contracts. The Architect shall cooperate with the County in efforts to include this
ADR provision in all other Project contracts.
ARTICLE 12: SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
12.1

EXHIBIT ‘C’: Record Drawing Procedures
Introduction
These guidelines are issued to promote the development of electronic drawings suitable for use in the
Maricopa County Facilities Management Department CAD environment. Consistency and compatibility with
existing Maricopa County documents can only be achieved when these standards are strictly adhered to.
Electronic drawings produced and submitted in accordance with these standards have significantly greater
value to Maricopa County. Design Professionals (DP), their Sub-consultants, and Contractors delivering
documentation to Maricopa County must ensure these standards are reviewed, understood and followed
by those people responsible for preparing electronic drawings.
Renovations and Space Change Projects Requirements
For typical Renovation and Space Planning projects, the DP is responsible for submitting a complete set of
Construction Documents (CDs) to Maricopa County prior to the beginning of construction. Upon completion
of construction, Contractors are responsible for submitting complete As-Built documentation (per definitions
included in the Agreement Between The County of Maricopa, Arizona and Design Professional) to the
Owner (in both electronic and hardcopy formats) and DP is responsible for submitting the Record Drawings
to the Owner based on this As-Built documentation. Construction Documents and Record Drawings
submitted to the Owner need to adhere the criteria outlined in this document.
All “DWG” files and AutoCAD drawing entities submitted at the end of a project must be able to be
manipulated using standard AutoCAD drafting procedures. Non-compliance with this policy may result in
the rejection of AutoCAD files submitted at project closeout, in addition to delayed rendering of final project
payment. “DXF” files will not be accepted at project closeout as a substitution for “DWG” AutoCAD file
deliverables. Projects using Building Information Modeling (BIM) software are still required to
submit “DWG” formats for their projects.
Electronic File Format
CAD drawings must be submitted in full compliance with AutoCAD software 2007 drawing file format (file
extension = .DWG).
All Construction and Record Document project drawings must be submitted to Maricopa County Facilities
Management Department in all file formats listed below; other formats are not acceptable without the prior
consent of Maricopa County Facilities Management Department.
AutoCAD® 2007 or higher – DWG format only.
Adobe® PDF version 6.0 or higher.
Scale, Units, Coordinate System and Orientation
AutoCAD drawings should be drafted at full scale in architectural or engineering units, such that one
drawing unit equals one inch. The User Coordinate System (UCS) for all AutoCAD drawings should be set
to “World”.
Tolerances
When projects require creation of new AutoCAD floor plans from field measurements, exterior building
dimensions should reconcile to within one (1) inch of actual building dimensions as measured in the field.
Interior building dimensions must reconcile to within half (1/2) inch of actual field dimensions. However,
individual project requirements may vary. Please confirm requirements with the Project Manager
designated by Maricopa County.

Blocks
The following rules must be employed when handling block entities:
1. All entities within a block must be created on layer 0.
2. Drawing entities translated into AutoCAD blocks from non-AutoCAD systems must revert to
layer 0 when exploded within AutoCAD.
Policy on External Reference Files (XREFs)
Maricopa County will not accept the submission of any AutoCAD drawing deliverable which contains
unbound references to external source drawing files. All externally referenced data sources that were used
during the AutoCAD drawing production phase should be incorporated as a block within a single drawing
file, including the title block and all identifying information visible in the printed image, upon project
completion and prior to submission to Maricopa County. Layers contained in XREF’s inserted as blocks
should conform to Maricopa County guidelines. The resulting self-contained drawing file is an acceptable
deliverable to Maricopa County.
Owner Supplied CAD Files
Prior to commencement of design and construction services, Maricopa County will provide past Record
Drawings in AutoCAD per the Contract Agreement that can be used as the background for space
documentation projects. These have been generated using a variety of methods and may require field
verification. When no pre-existing Record Drawings in AutoCAD are available, consultants will be required
to produce drawings entirely from field measurements. AutoCAD files are transmitted for the convenience
and expediency of the DP, their Sub-consultants and the Contractor but bear no implicit or explicit
guarantee of accuracy, reliability or correctness”. It is recommended to all recipients of Owner-supplied
drawing files to perform their own verifications as necessary to develop drawings for each phase of the
project.
Layers for CAD Files
All AutoCAD Files shall include but not be limited to the following building features that define the physical
boundaries necessary to define space, such as: 1) exterior walls; 2) vertical elevations & sections; 3) details;
4) schedules; 5) doors; 6) glazing; 7) elevator shafts; 8) stair wells and other changes in floor elevation; 9)
built-in furniture and/or modular systems. The DP, their Sub-consultants and the Contractor shall adhere to
these layer standards as much as possible, although additional layers, conforming to standard formats,
may be necessary, while some layers may not be applicable to every space documentation project
(furniture, roof lines, etc.).
AutoCAD layers should be named in accordance with the latest U.S. National CAD Standard (NCS) which
can be obtained from the National Institute of Building Sciences. Custom layers added by Maricopa County
begin with MC-. The specific name of custom layers may vary slightly by Maricopa County owner.
AIA CAD Layer Guidelines
See U.S. National CAD Standard Version 3 (attached).
USE OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
Although projects may utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) for conveying three-dimensional design,
two-dimensional deliverables are still required as outlined in this guideline and as specified in Maricopa
County Agreements with the DP, their Sub-consultants and Contractors.

BIM Execution Plan
Projects utilizing BIM are required to provide a BIM Execution Plan to document modeling practices. This
document declares what is being modeled, the accuracy of the models, the intent of the models, and how
project teams work within the models.
BIM Standards
Modeling practices and standards should be declared and agreed upon in the Project’s BIM Execution Plan.
BIM Models and Deliverables
Models turned over to Maricopa County as a deliverable must meet the requirements of the agreed upon
BIM Execution Plan.
Use of Revit
Models are to be created in the most current version of Autodesk Revit. Modeling practices are to be
declared in the project’s BIM Execution Plan.
