EXHIBIT A - ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
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.
Meeting of Principals. When a claim is made or a dispute (hereafter “dispute”) as described in
Paragraph 1.2 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.
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.
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.
Binding Arbitration Procedure. The following binding arbitration procedure shall serve as the
exclusive method to resolve a dispute if mediation is unsuccessful, if mediation has been waived
by the parties, or if a party requests arbitration during the mediation process. Except as provided
in Section 1.7.5 and 1.7.9, the decision of the arbitrator or arbitrator panel is final and binding on
the parties and not subject to further judicial review.
1.5.1 A party requesting binding arbitration shall notify the other party of their demand for
arbitration in writing within seven (7) calendar days of (1) the failure of mediation; (2)
waiver of mediation; or (3) of the party’s demand to terminate mediation.
1.5.2 If the Contractor requests arbitration it shall post a cash bond with the arbitrator in an
amount agreed upon by the parties or, in the event of no agreement, the arbitrator shall
establish the amount of the cash bond to defray the cost of the arbitration and the proceeds
from the bond shall be allocated in accordance with paragraph 1.7.7. The bond must be in
the full amount agreed upon or as established by the Arbitrator to pay the potential cost of
the full arbitration proceeding. The bond must be posted with and received by the arbitrator
within five (5) calendar days after the demand for arbitration.
1.5.3 Disputes involving less than $200,000 shall be heard by one single arbitrator chosen by
agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the single arbitrator, then the parties

1.5.4 For disputes in excess of $200,000, the arbitration panel shall consist of three arbitrators:
the County's appointed arbitrator, the Contractor's appointed arbitrator and a third arbitrator
who shall be selected by the parties' arbitrators and serve as the Chair of the arbitration
panel.
1.5.5 The arbitration is to be convened and administered under the Revised Uniform Arbitration
Act (“RUAA”) (A.R.S. § 12-3001 ef seg.) and the American Arbitration Association
Construction Rules shall serve as a guideline for proceedings, thus as a supplement to the
RUAA.
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.
Procedure. The single arbitrator or the arbitration panel will conduct the hearing in such a manner
that will resolve disputes in a prompt, cost efficient manner giving regard to the rights of all parties.
Each party shall supply to the single arbitrator or arbitration panel a written pre-hearing statement
which shall contain a brief statement of the nature of the claim or defense, a list of witnesses and
exhibits, a brief description of the subject matter of the testimony of each witness who will be called
to testify, and an estimate as to the length of time that will be required for the arbitration hearing.
The single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel shall determine the nature and scope of
discovery, if any, and the manner of presentation of relevant evidence consistent with deadlines
provided herein, and the parties’ objective that disputes be resolved in a prompt and efficient
manner. No discovery may be had of any materials or information for which a privilege is
recognized by Arizona law. The single arbitrator or the Chair upon proper application shall issue
such orders as may be necessary and permissible under law to protect confidential, proprietary or
sensitive materials or information from public disclosure or other misuse. Any party may make
application to the Maricopa County Superior Court to have a protective order entered as may be
appropriate to confirm or enforce such orders of the Chair.
1.7.1. Hearing Days. In order to effectuate parties’ goals, the hearing once commenced, will
proceed from working day to working day until concluded, absent a showing of good cause.
1.7.2. Award. The single arbitrator shall within ten (10) calendar days of the conclusion of a
hearing issue an award. The arbitration panel shall, within ten (10) calendar days from the
conclusion of any hearing, by majority vote, issue its award. The award shall include an
allocation of fees and costs pursuant to 1.7.7 herein. The award is to be in accordance with
the Contract and the law of the State of Arizona.
1.7.3 Scope of Award. Regardless of the provisions of the RUAA, the arbitration panel shall be
without authority to award punitive damages, and any such punitive damage award shall
be void. If an award is made against any party in excess of one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), exclusive of interest, arbitration fees, costs and attorneys’ fees, it shall be

supported by written findings of fact, conclusions of law and a statement as to how damages
were calculated.
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.
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.
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 a
Contractor. 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 CONTRACTOR cannot be joined to any pending arbitration proceeding,
without CONTRACTOR’s express written consent and unless CONTRACTOR is given
the opportunity to participate in the selection of the single arbitrator or non-County
appointed arbitrator.
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
CONTRACTOR 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 CONTRACTOR’s
obligation to pay fees and costs be limited to the amount of the bond posted herein. In no
event shall any arbitrator’s hourly fees be awarded in an amount in excess of $250 per hour
and (i) costs shall not include any travel expenses in excess of mileage at the rate paid by
Maricopa County, not to exceed a one way trip of 150 miles, and (ii) all travel expenses,
including meals, shall be reimbursed pursuant to the travel policy of Maricopa County in
effect at the time of the hearing. The determination of prevailing and non-prevailing
parties, and the appropriate allocation of fees and costs, will be included in the award by
the single arbitrator or arbitration panel.
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.
Equitable Litigation. Notwithstanding any other provision of ADR to the contrary, any
party can petition the Maricopa County Superior Court for interim equitable relief as may
become necessary to preserve the status quo and prevent immediate and irreparable harm
to a party or to the Project pending resolution of a dispute pursuant to ADR provided herein.
No court may order any permanent injunctive relief except as may be necessary to enforce
an order entered by the arbitration panel. The fees and costs incurred in connection with
any such equitable proceeding shall be determined and assessed in ADR.
Change Order. Any award in favor of the CONTRACTOR against the County or in favor
of the County against the CONTRACTOR shall be reduced to a Change Order and
executed by the parties in accordance with the award and the provisions of the Contract or
a settlement agreement as appropriate.
Merger and Bar. Any claim asserted pursuant to this ADR process shall be deemed to
include all claims, demands, and requests for compensation for costs and losses or other
relief, including the extension of the Contract performance period which reasonably should
or could have been brought against any party that was or could have been brought into this
ADR process, with respect to the subject claim. The arbitration panel shall apply legal
principles commonly known as merger and bar to deny any claim or claims against any
party regarding which claim or claims recovery has been sought or should have been sought
in a previously adjudicated claim for an alleged cost, loss, breach, error, or omission.
1.8 Inclusion in Other Contracts. The CONTRACTOR shall cooperate with the County in efforts to
include this ADR provision in all other Project contracts.
