prior to construction. The actual locations of the utilities must be compared to locations
shown on the Plans and any required changes in alignment and grade must be made at the
time of construction in consultation with Project Manager. It is generally recognized and
Contractor should anticipate that information from Arizona 811 or information from utility
companies during project design, frequently fails to disclose all underground facilities. The
fact that more utility lines or other underground facilities are located in the Project Site than
undisclosed underground facilities do not differ materially from the conditions which
Contractor should expect. The provisions of Sections 105.4, 105.6, 107.11 and 109.8.1 of the
MAG Uniform Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction apply and are
incorporated herein by this reference.

4.9.3
Correction or Removal of Defective Work.
4.9.3.1
If required by City, Contractor must promptly, without cost to City and as specified by City,
either correct any defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if
the Work has been rejected by City, remove it from the Site and replace it with non-defective
Work. Contractor must correct any Work which may be displaced in correcting, removing or
replacing defective Work. No compensation will be allowed Contractor for such removal,
replacement or remedial Work. Contractor must reimburse City for costs incurred by City
due to such correction or removal including but not limited to additional expenses for
inspection, testing or observation and for repeated reviews by the City or Design
Professional.
4.9.3.2
Upon failure on the part of the Contractor to comply within a reasonably prompt time with
any written order of City to correct or remove defective Work, City has authority to cause
nonconforming materials or rejected Work to be remedied, removed, or replaced at the
Contractor's expense and to deduct the costs from any moneys due or to become due the
Contractor.
4.9.4
City May Correct Defective Work. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written
notice of City to proceed to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work
as required by City or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the
Agreement Documents (including any requirements of the progress schedule), City may,
after 7 Days' written notice to Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. To the
extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, City may exclude Contractor
from all or part of the Work, and suspend Contractor's services related thereto, take
possession of Contractor's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the
Site and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which
City has paid Contractor, but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor must allow City, city
representatives, agents and employees such access to the Site as may be necessary to
Section. All direct and indirect costs of City in
exercising such rights will be charged against Contractor in an amount verified by City

Agreement Documents, or by any specific provision of the Agreement Documents, any Work
is found to be defective, Contractor must promptly, without cost to City and in accordance
with City's written instructions, either correct such defective Work, or, if it has been rejected
by City, remove it from the Site and replace it with non-defective Work. If Contractor does
not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay
would cause serious risk of loss or damage, City may have the defective Work corrected or
the rejected Work removed and replaced, and all direct and indirect costs of such removal
and replacement, including compensation for additional professional services, must be paid
by Contractor. Such action by the City will not relieve the Contractor of the guarantees
required by this Section or elsewhere in the Agreement Documents.
4.9.6.2
If, in the opinion of the City, defective Work creates a dangerous condition or requires
immediate correction or attention to prevent further loss to the City or to prevent
interruption of operation of the City, the City will attempt to give the notice required by this
Section. If the Contractor cannot be contacted or does not comply with the City's request
for correction within a reasonable time as determined by the City, the City may,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, proceed to make such correction or provide
such attention; and the costs of such correction or attention will be charged against the
Contractor. Such action by the City will not relieve the Contractor of the guarantees
required by this Section or elsewhere in the Agreement Documents.

This Section does not in any way limit the guarantee on any items for which a longer
guarantee is specified or on any items for which a manufacturer or supplier gives a
guarantee for a longer period. The Contractor agrees to act as co-guarantor with such
manufacturer or supplier and must furnish the City all appropriate guarantee or warranty
certificates upon completion of the Project. No guarantee period, whether provided for in
this Section or elsewhere, will in any way limit the liability of Contractor or their sureties or
insurers under the indemnity or insurance provisions of these General Conditions and the
Project Specific Special Conditions.
4.9.7
Acceptance of Defective Work.
4.9.7.1
If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, City may
accept Work when in the best interest of the City to do so with appropriate monetary credit
from Contractor. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, a Change Order will
be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Agreement Documents, including
appropriate reduction in the Agreement Price; or, if the acceptance occurs after final
payment, an appropriate amount must be paid by Contractor to City.
4.9.7.2
Alternatively, City may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense, a special
performance guarantee or other surety prior to acceptance of defective work.

Project Site location. Normal rainfall for the Project will be determined from the 10-year
average rainfall for the Site as measured by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration or comparable source of reliable information for
rainfall in Chandler,
Arizona. In addition, the excessive rainfall must have actually impacted Work activities on
the Critical Path and caused delay beyond any remaining Float at the time of the rain- caused
delay. The burden of documenting normal rainfall, the excessive rainfall and the impact on
Critical Path activities is on Contractor. All other provisions in the Agreement Documents
relating to claims, including without limitation notice requirements, apply to any claim by

be extended for a period equivalent to the period of delay. In addition, the parties agree if
from the COVID-
excused as set forth in this clause. Provided, however; Contractor must give the City written
notice within 30 days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to COVID-19 pandemic
related delayed or suspended performance. For COVID-19 pandemic related delay or
suspended performance, the parties must agree in writing to the length of the excused
approval to use any allowance established as part of the project for delays and costs related
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
6.3
SUBSTANTIALCOMPLETION
6.3.1
When Contractor considers that the Work, phase or a portion thereof, which City agrees in
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-33 of 75
writing to accept separately, is substantially complete, City will prepare and submit to
Contractor a comprehensive Punch List of items to be completed or corrected prior to Final
Acceptance and Final Payment. Failure to include an item on such Punch List does not alter
the responsibility of Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Agreement
Documents.
6.3.2
Upon receipt of
Punch List, Project Manager will make an inspection to
determine
whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete.
Project Manager may, at Project
sole option, be assisted in such inspection by
the Design Professional for the Project. If the inspection by the Project Manager discloses
any item, whether or not included
on
Punch List, which is not sufficiently
completed in accordance with the Agreement Documents so that City can occupy or utilize
the Work, phase or designated portion thereof for its
intended use, Contractor must,
before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such
item upon notification by Project Manager. In such case, Contractor must then submit a
request for another inspection by Project Manager to determine Substantial Completion.
6.3.3
Certificate of Substantial Completion.
6.3.3.1
The Project Manager will not issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion unless and until
the Work (or separable units or Phases as provided in the Agreement Documents) is
essentially and satisfactorily complete in accordance with the Agreement Documents, such
that the Project is ready for use by City for its intended purpose, opening to the general
public, full occupancy or use by City (including, without limitation, all separate units, or
rooms,facilities,access,income-generating areas, and all areas serving the general public,
as applicable, must be ready for full-operation
without material inconvenience or
discomfort), including, to the extent applicable to the Work, the
following: all materials,
equipment, systems, controls, features, facilities, accessories and similar
elements are
installed in the proper manner and in operating condition, inspected and approved;
surfaces have been painted; masonry and concrete cleaned with any sealer or other finish
applied; utilities and systems connected and functioning; site work complete; permanent
heating,
ventilation, air condition, vertical transportation and other systems properly
operating with proper controls; lighting and electrical systems installed, operable and
controlled; paving completed, signage installed, and other Work as applicable, has
been performed to a similar state of essential and satisfactory completion. A minor
amount of Work, as determined by and at the discretion of the Project Manager, such
as installation of minor accessories or items, a minor
amount of painting, minor
replacement of defective work, minor adjustment of controls or sound
systems, or
completion or correction of minor exterior work that cannot be completed as a result of
weather conditions, will not delay determination of Substantial Completion. If prior
written
approval is obtained from City for purposes of Substantial Completion, specified
areas of the entire Work
or
Project may be
individually certified as
Substantially
Complete. In no event will Substantial Completion be deemed to have occurred unless
and until: (i) a temporary certificate of occupancy has been issued by the appropriate
Governmental Authorities (as applicable) and (ii) all terms and Work required under this
Agreement have been fulfilled by Contractor and same will have also been approved and
accepted by City, subject only to the Punch List items.
6.3.3.2
If requested by City, Contractor must complete and turn-over to City the Project on a phased
basis. Each phase will have a separate inspection by the Project Manager, a Punch List
generated, and then an inspection by City with final approval and acceptance only after the

Design Professional and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable
part of the Work that can be used by City for its intended purpose, without significant
however, if the portion of the Work to be used or occupied has not been found to be
substantially complete, City must do so in accordance with Section 6.3 prior to such
occupancy.
6.4.2
In lieu of the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion as to part of the Work, City
may take over operation of a facility constituting part of the Work whether or not it is
substantially complete if such facility is functionally and separately usable; provided that
prior to any such takeover, City and Contractor agree in writing as to the division of
responsibilities between City and Contractor for security, operation, safety, maintenance,
correction period, heat, utilities and insurance with respect to such facility.

6.6.1
Permitting Contractor to continue and finish the Work or any part of it after the time fixed
for its completion (whether milestone, phase, Substantial Completion or Final Acceptance)
or after the date to which the time fixed for any completion may have been extended, does
not operate as a waiver by City of any rights under the Agreement Documents, law or equity.

Contractor must perform the change promptly. If Contractor believes that a Field Order
justifies an increase in the Agreement Price or Agreement Time, Contractor may make a
claim therefor as provided in Section 7.2.
9.2
EXTRA WORK/CHANGES IN THE WORK
9.2.1
City reserves the right to make such changes in the Plans and Specifications for the Work,

GC-41 of 75
Agreement as awarded. The Project Manager will have the authority to determine, based
upon factual evidence presented by the Contractor, whether the work in question is an
item not provided for in the Agreement as awarded. If the Project Manager directs the

Change Order. If extra work is performed under Subsection 9.2.2 above, a corresponding
Change Order will be prepared, approved and processed by City before payment can be
made to Contractor.
9.2.4
In general, pricing for Change Orders will include the same mark-up percentages that were
in effect when the Agreement was awarded. The cost or credit to the City resulting from a
change in the Work is subject to Appendix 1 (Policy Statement for Calculating Delays and
Damages) and will be determined, based on the type of pricing for the Agreement involved,
as follows:
a.
By mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized in a form acceptable
to City;
b.
By unit prices stated in the Agreement Documents;
c.
When the City determines that a Unit Price Book Job Order associated with
a Job Order Agreement requires a Change Order, by using the same Total
Cost Data and CCI that are in effect when the Change Order is anticipated to
be issued; or
d.
By actual cost and a percentage fee covering overhead and profit, as follows:
(i)
Contractor will perform the extra work and be compensated for actual
cost of labor, materials and equipment.
(ii)
Contractor will have the right to add the fee percentage applicable
to the Work under the Agreement, or if no such fee has been agreed
to by the parties, not more
than
five
percent
(5%)

the
prices for authorized extra work performed solely
by Subcontractors. Such percentage will include all of
charges for overhead, profit, administration and supervision.
(iii)
Contractor or Subcontractor will have the right to add the fee
percentage applicable
to Work under the Agreement for self-
performed extra work, or if no such fee has been agreed to by the
parties,

its designated representative, will have the right to examine, copy, and scan the records
of the Contractor, Subcontractor or Sub-
records (during the Agreement
period and up to three years after final payment is made on the Agreement) to verify
the accuracy and appropriateness of the pricing data used to price all Change Order
proposals or claims. Contractor agrees that if City determines the cost and pricing data
submitted (whether approved
or not) was inaccurate, incomplete, not current, or not in
compliance with the terms of the Agreement
regarding pricing of Change Orders, an
appropriate Agreement Price adjustment will be made. Such post-approval Contact Price
adjustments will apply to all levels of contractors and Subcontractors and to all types of
Change Order proposals, specifically including Fixed Price, Unit Price, and Cost Plus Change
Orders.
9.3.4
Requirements for Detailed Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor agrees to
provide a detailed breakdown of allowable labor and labor burden cost (i.e., base wage
rate of applicable classifications of workers, payroll taxes, and insurance and benefits
costs). This information will be used to evaluate the potential cost of labor and labor burden
related to Change Order work. It is intended that this information represent an accurate
estimate of the
actual labor and labor burden cost components. Information
is not intended to establish fixed billing or Change Order pricing labor rates. However, at the
time Change Orders are priced, the submitted cost data for labor rates may be used to price
Change Order work. The accuracy of any such agreed upon labor rate cost components
used to price Change Orders will be subject to later audit.

based on the input received from City and the Design Professional.
The Detailed Project Schedule must define activities as determined by City to the extent
required to show: (a) the coordination between preliminary design and various pre-
construction documents, (b) any separate long-lead procurements, (c) any permitting
issues, (d) any land, right-of-way, or easement acquisition, (e) bid packaging strategy and
awards to Subcontractors and Suppliers, (f) major stages of construction, (g) start-up and
commissioning, and (h) occupancy of the completed Work by City. The Detailed Project
Schedule must include by example and not limitation, proposed activity sequences and
durations for design, procurement, construction and testing activities, milestone dates for
actions and decisions by the Project Team, preparation and processing of shop drawings

and samples, delivery of materials or equipment requiring long-lead time procurement (if
any), milestone dates for various construction phases,
Total Float for all activities to the
extent authorized by City, relationships between the activities,
occupancy
requirements showing portions of the Project having occupancy priority, and proposed
dates for Final Acceptance.
17.3.3
A Baseline Project Schedule must be initiated with the project Baseline Cost Model and
agreed to by the project team at the same time. CM@Risk must update and maintain a
detailed Project
Schedule throughout pre-construction such that it will not require major
changes at the start of
the construction phase to incorporate
plan for the
performance of the construction phase Work. CM@Risk must provide updates and/or
revisions to the Detailed Project Schedule for use by the Project Team, whenever required,
but no less often than at the Project Team meetings. CM@Risk must include with such
submittals a narrative describing its analysis of the
progress achieved to-date vs. the
Baseline Project Schedule, including any concerns regarding delays or potential delays, and
any recommendations regarding mitigating actions.
17.3.4
If phased construction is deemed appropriate at the time of developing the Baseline Cost
Model or during the development of the Detailed Project Schedule, and City approves,
CM@Risk must review the design and make recommendations regarding the phased
issuance of Construction Documents to facilitate phased construction of the Work, with
the objective of reducing the Project Schedule and/or Cost of the Work. CM@Risk must take
into consideration such factors as natural and practical lines of work severability,
sequencing
effectiveness, access and availability constraints, total time for completion,
construction market
conditions, labor and materials availability, and any other factors
pertinent to saving time and cost.
17.3.5
Long Lead Time Items. As part of developing the Detailed Project Schedule, CM@Risk must
identify all long lead time materials, fabrications, equipment, or other items which may
impact the Project Schedule and may require early action on the part of the Project Team.
Dates for selecting and ordering long lead time items will be included and highlighted
in the Detailed Project Schedule
17.3.6
Equipment Plan. Contractor must develop an Equipment Plan that addresses all rental
and
owned equipment, regardless of whether such equipment will be provided by
CM@Risk or subcontractor(s), that will be necessary to construct the Project and the cost
of which will be included as a Cost of the Work in the GMP Proposal. The Equipment Plan
will seek to minimize the cost of the equipment to City and maximize the efficient and
coordinated use of the equipment for completion of the Project. The Equipment Plan will
not only include the costs and allowable lease rates for the equipment, but will also include
an equipment schedule that will be incorporated into the Detailed Project Schedule and the
Schedule of Values submitted with the GMP Proposal.
17.4
DESIGN DOCUMENT REVIEWS
17.4.1
CM@Risk must evaluate periodically the availability of labor, materials/equipment, cost-
sensitive aspects of the design; and other factors that may create an unacceptable variance
to the Baseline Cost Model and/or Baseline Project Schedule.
17.4.2
CM@Risk must recommend, in conjunction with the Project Team, those additional surface
and subsurface investigations that, in its professional opinion, are required to provide the
necessary
information
for
CM@Risk
to
construct
the
Project.
These
additional
General Conditions

GC-69 of 75
investigations, if agreed to
be necessary by the Project Manager and the Design
Professional, will be acquired by City and copies of the reports will be provided to CM@Risk.
17.4.3
CM@Risk must meet with the Project Team as required to review
designs during their
development. CM@Risk must familiarize itself with the evolving documents through
pre-
construction.
CM@Risk must proactively advise the Project Team and make
recommendations
on factors related to construction costs, and concerns pertaining to the
feasibility and practicality
of any proposed means and methods, selected materials,
equipment and building systems, and,
labor and material availability. CM@Risk must
furthermore advise the Project Team on proposed site improvements, excavation and
foundation considerations, as well as, concerns that exist with respect to coordination of
the Drawings and Specifications. CM@Risk must use established value analysis principles
in recommending cost effective alternatives.
17.4.4
CM@Risk must routinely conduct constructability and bid-ability reviews of the Drawings
and Specifications as necessary to satisfy the needs of the Project Team. The reviews must
attempt
to identify all discrepancies and inconsistencies in the Construction Documents
especially those related to clarity, consistency, completeness and coordination of Work of
Subcontractors and Suppliers.
17.4.4.1
CM@Risk must evaluate whether: (a) the Drawings and Specifications are configured to
enable efficient construction; (b) design elements are standardized; (c) construction
efficiency
is
properly
considered
in
the
Drawings
and
Specifications;
(d)
module/preassembly design is prepared to facilitate fabrication, transport and installation;
(e) sequences of Work required by or inferable from the Drawings and Specifications are
practicable; (f) the design has taken into consideration efficiency issues concerning access
and entrance to the site, laydown and storage
of materials, staging of site facilities,
construction parking, and other similar pertinent issues; and (g) the design maintains
continued operation of the existing City systems and maintains
traffic on adjacent
roadways. CM@Risk must also review the Drawings and Specifications to ensure that what
is depicted therein can be constructed as designed and must promptly inform the Project
Team of any issues.
17.4.4.2
CM@Risk must check cross-reference and complementary Drawings and sections within
the Specifications and in general evaluate whether: (a) the Drawings and Specifications
are sufficiently clear and detailed to minimize ambiguity and to reduce scope interpretation
discrepancies; (b) named materials and equipment are commercially available and are
performing well, or otherwise, in similar installations; (c) Specifications include alternatives
in the event a requirement cannot be met in the field; and (d) in its professional opinion, the
Project is likely to be subject to Differing Site Conditions.
17.4.4.3
The results of the reviews must be provided to Project Team in formal, written reports
clearly
identifying all reviewed documents and the discovered discrepancies and
inconsistencies in the Drawings and Specifications with notations and recommendations
made on the Drawings, Specifications and other documents. CM@Risk must meet with
Project Team to discuss any findings and review reports.
17.4.4.4
CM@Risk s reviews must be from a
perspective, and though it will serve to
eliminate/reduce the number of RFIs) and changes during the construction phase,
responsibility for the Drawings and Specifications will remain with the Design Professional
and not CM@Risk.

17.4.5
It is
responsibility
to assist the Design Professional in ascertaining that, in
professional opinion, the Construction Documents are in accordance with
applicable Laws, Regulations, or Legal Requirements, building codes, sound engineering
rules and regulations. If CM@Risk recognizes that portions of the Construction
Documents are at variance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes,
sound engineering
rules and regulations, it must promptly notify the Project Team
in writing, describing the apparent variance of deficiency. However, the Design Professional
is ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Drawings and Specifications with those
laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules and regulations.
17.4.6
The Project Team will routinely identify and evaluate using value analysis principles and
alternate systems, approaches, design changes that have the potential to reduce Project
costs while still delivering a high quality and fully functional Project consistent with
the Project Program. If the Project Team agrees, CM@Risk in cooperation with the Design
Professional,
will perform a cost/benefit analysis of the alternatives and submit such in
writing to the Project Team. City, through the Project Manager, will direct which alternatives
will be incorporated into
the Project.
The Design Professional will have full design
responsibility for the review and incorporation of CM@Risk suggested alternatives into
the Drawings and Specifications. CM@Risk must analyze the costs and schedule impacts of
the
alternatives
against the
Baseline
Cost
Model
and
Schedule
and
provide
a
recommendation for the Project
consideration
and
approval prior to the
establishment of the GMP.
17.5
BASELINE COSTS MODEL, DETAILED COST ESTIMATES, AND SCHEDULE OF VALUES
17.5.1
At the conclusion of the Master Planning and Programming, if required, CM@Risk will
review all available information regarding the design and scope of the Project using
experience in performing similar work, knowledge of similar projects and
current and projected
construction costs and, based upon that review, must develop a
Baseline Cost Model for review by the Project Team and approval by City. Once approved
by City, the Baseline Cost Model will be continually referenced as detailed estimates are
created as the design progresses throughout Pre-Construction until the final GMP for the
entire Project is established. A final GMP for the entire Project must be established and
approved by City prior to the start of construction. It is the responsibility of CM@Risk
to ensure City has sufficient information to evaluate and approve a final GMP prior to
the time necessary to start construction so construction can be completed within the
Agreement Time. The Project Detailed Cost Estimate will be the best representation from
CM@Risk of what the complete functional
construction costs will be as indicated
by the most current available documents and will be
constantly checked against the
Baseline Cost Model. CM@Risk must communicate to the Project Team and assumptions
made in preparing the Baseline Cost Model.
The Baseline Cost
Model must support
Detailed Cost Estimates and may be broken down initially as dictated by the
available information, as required by City.
17.5.2
After receipt of the Design
most current documents from certain specified
pre- construction milestones, CM@Risk must provide a draft Detailed Cost Estimate
including a detailed written report detailing any variances to the Baseline Cost Model and
Baseline Project Schedule. The Design Professional and CM@Risk will reconcile any
disagreements on the estimate to arrive at an agreed upon Detailed Cost Estimate for the
construction costs based on
the scope of the Project through that specified pre-
construction milestone. Pre-Construction milestones applicable to this paragraph are:
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-71 of 75
Master Planning and Programming, Schematic Design, 50% Design Development, 100%
Design Development, and 50% Construction Drawings, If no consensus is reached, City will
make the final determination. If the Project Team
requires additional updates of the
Detailed Cost Estimate beyond that specified in this paragraph, CM@Risk must provide the
requested information in a timely manner.
17.5.3
If at any point the Detailed Cost Estimate submitted to City exceeds the previously
accepted Baseline Cost Model or previously approved Detailed Cost Estimate agreed to as
set forth in Section 17.5.2 above, CM@Risk must make appropriate recommendations to
project Team on means/methods, materials, and or other design elements that it
believes will reduce the estimated construction costs, such that it is equal to or less than
the established Project
Baseline Cost Model.
17.5.4
Unless other levels of completion are agreed to in writing in the Construction Documents,
at 50% Construction Drawings and included with the associated report, CM@Risk must
also submit to the Project Team for review and approval a Schedule of Values that complies
with the following requirements. The Schedule of Values must be based on City standard
bid schedule and highlight significant variances from any previously submitted Schedule
of Values. The Schedule of Values must be directly related to the breakdowns reflected in
the Detailed Project Schedule and
Detailed Cost Estimate. In addition, the
Schedule of Values must: (a) detail unit prices and quantity take-offs, (b) detail all other
contingencies and unit price Work shown and specified in the detailed design documents.
17.5.5
CM@Risk is to track, estimate/price and address the Project
overall project cost issues
that arise outside of the Baseline Cost Model and the latest approved Detailed Cost
Estimate
such as: City generated changes, Project Team proposed changes, alternate
system analysis, constructability items and value engineering analysis. The system used
to implement this process will be referred to as the Design Evolution Log. This is to be
addressed between the Baseline Cost Model and the Master Planning and Programming
Detailed Cost Estimate, and then (unless other levels of completion are agreed to in writing
in the Construction Documents) between the Detailed Cost Estimates for each of the pre-
construction milestones thereafter, Schematic Design, 50% Design Development, 100%
Design Development, and 50%
Construction Documents, and the bid packages for all
Phases.
17.5.6
Upon request by City, CM@Risk must submit to City a cash flow projection for the Project
based on the current updated/revised Detailed Project Schedule and the anticipated level of
payments for CM@Risk during the design and construction phases. In addition, if requested
by City and based on information provided by City, CM@Risk must prepare a cash flow
projection for the entire Project based on historical records for similar types of projects
to assist City in the financing process.
17.5.7
Construction Water. CM@Risk must estimate the quantity of water to be used and include
the cost thereof in each Detailed Cost Estimate and GMP Proposal provided by City.
17.6
SUBCONTRACTOR AND MAJOR SUPPLIER SELECTIONS
17.6.1
There are two ways to select Subcontractors and major Suppliers prior to submission of a
GMP Proposal: (1) qualifications-based selection; or (2) a combination of qualifications
and price. Except as noted below, the selection of Subcontractors/Suppliers is the sole
responsibility of CM@Risk. In any case, CM@Risk is solely responsible for the performance
of the selected Subcontractors/Suppliers, and for compliance with the requirements of
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-72 of 75
Title 34 of the Arizona Revised Statutes in the selection of a Subcontractors/Suppliers,
to the extent applicable. CM@Risk must comply with its Subcontractor Selection Plan
submitted with its Statement of Qualifications.
17.6.2
City may approve the selection of a Subcontractor(s) or Suppliers(s) based only on their
qualifications when CM@Risk can demonstrate it is in the best interest of the Project. All
Work
that is performed, after such a qualifications-based selection, for a price that is
negotiated by CM@Risk will be billed in accordance with the GMP for actual costs and may
be subject to audit by City.
17.6.2.1
Qualifications based selection of a Subcontractor(s)/Supplier(s) should only occur prior to
the submittal of the GMP Proposal.
17.6.2.2
If a Subcontractor/Supplier selection plan was submitted and agreed to by City, CM@Risk
must apply the plan in the evaluation of the qualifications of a Subcontractor(s) or
Supplier(s) and provide City with its review and recommendations.
17.6.2.3
CM@Risk must receive written City approval for each selected Subcontractor(s) and
Supplier(s).
17.6.2.4
CM@Risk must negotiate costs for services/supplies from each Subcontractor/Supplier
selected under this method.
17.6.3
All Work must be competitively bid unless a Subcontractor or Supplier was selected pursuant
to Section 17.6.2 above.
17.6.3.1
CM@Risk must develop Subcontractor and Supplier interest, submit the names of a
minimum of three qualified Subcontractors or Suppliers for each trade in the Project for
approval by City and solicit bids for the various Work categories. If there are not three
qualified Subcontractors/Suppliers available for a specific trade or there are extenuating
circumstances warranting such, CM@Risk may request approval by City to submit less
than three names. Without prior written notice to City, no change in the recommended
Subcontractors/Supplies will be allowed.
17.6.3.2
If City objects to any nominated Subcontractor/Supplier or to any self-performed Work for
good
reason, CM@Risk must nominate a substitute Subcontractor/Supplier that is
acceptable to City.
17.6.3.3
CM@Risk must distribute Drawings and Specifications, and when appropriate, conduct a
Pre- Bid Conference with prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers.
17.6.3.4
If CM@Risk desires to self-perform certain portions of the Work, it must request to be one of
the approved Subcontractor bidders for those specific bid packages.
bid will
be evaluated in accordance with the process identified below. If events warrant and City
concurs
that it is necessary in order to ensure compliance with the Project Schedule
and/or the most recent Detailed Cost Estimate, CM@Risk may be authorized to self-
perform Work without bidding or rebidding the Work. When CM@Risk self-performs work
without bidding, only the actual costs associated with performing the Work in accordance
with the approved GMP will be billed and may be subject to audit by City.
17.6.3.5
CM@Risk must receive, open, record and evaluate
the bids; provided, however, that if
CM@Risk or one of its affiliates is bidding to self-perform the Work that is the subject of the
bid, then the bids must be received, opened, recorded and evaluated by Project Manager

instead of CM@Risk. Bids for each category of Work must be opened and recorded at a
pre-determined
time. The apparent low bidders must be interviewed to determine the
responsiveness of their
proposals. In evaluating the responsiveness of bid proposals
CM@Risk, in addition to bid price,
may consider the following factors: past performance
on
similar
projects,
qualifications
and
experience of personnel assigned, quality
management plan, approach or understanding of the
Work to be performed, and
performance

the
Work.
The
final
evaluation
of
Subcontractor/Supplier bids must be done with Project Manager in attendance to observe
and witness the process. CM@Risk mustresolve anySubcontractor/Supplier bid withdrawal,
protest or disqualification in connection with the award at no increase in the Cost of Work.
17.6.4
CM@Risk will be required to prepare two different reports on the subcontracting process.
17.6.4.1
Within fifteen days after each major Subcontractor/Supplier bid opening process;
CM@Risk
must
prepare
a
report
for
review
and
approval
identifying
the
recommended Subcontractors/Supplier for each category of Work. The report must detail:
(a) the name of the
recommended Subcontractor/Supplier and the amount of the
Subcontractor/Supplier bid for each sub-agreement; (b) the sum of all recommended
Subcontractor/Supplier bids received; (c) and trade work and its cost that CM@Risk intends
to self-perform, if any.
17.6.4.2
Upon completion of the Subcontractor/Supplier bidding process, CM@Risk must submit
a summary report to City of the entire Subcontractor/Supplier selection process. The report
must indicate, by bid process, all Subcontractors/Suppliers contacted to determine
interest, the Subcontractors/Suppliers solicited, the bids received and costs negotiated,
and the recommended Subcontractors/Suppliers for each category of Work.
17.6.5
The approved Subcontractors/Suppliers will provide a Schedule of Values with their bid
proposals, which will be used to create the overall Project Schedule of Values.
17.6.6
If after receipt of sub-bids or after award to Subcontractors and Suppliers, City objects to
any
nominated Subcontractor/Supplier or to any self-performed Work without any
reasonable basis,
CM@Risk must nominate a substitute Subcontractor or Supplier,
preferably if such option is still available, from those who submitted Subcontractor bids
for the Work affected. Once such substitute Subcontractors and Suppliers are consented
to by
proposed GMP
for the Work or portion thereof must be
correspondingly adjusted to reflect any higher or lower costs form any such substitution.
17.7
GMP PROPOSAL
17.7.1
When a GMP Proposal is submitted for a phase of the Work, the GMP will have a Detailed Cost
Estimate of the Costs of the Work (as set forth in Section 15.2) in each phase of the Work
that is being proposed plus the current estimate for all other Work. City will not approve
the GMP for the phase of work without a total estimate for the complete Project. City may
request a GMP
Proposal for all or any portion of the Project and at any time during pre-
construction. Any GMP Proposals submitted by CM@Risk must be based on and consistent
with Baseline Cost Model and the current update/revised Detailed Cost Estimate at the
time of the request and include any clarifications or assumptions upon which the GMP
Proposal(s) are based.
17.7.2
A GMP Proposal for the entire Project will be the sum of the Cost of the Work, CM@Risk Fee,
and General Conditions Cost. CM@Risk guarantees to complete the Project at or less than
General Conditions
Revised: 7/20/22
GC-74 of 75
the final GMP Proposal amount plus approved Change Orders. CM@Risk will be responsible
for any costs for expenses that would cause the Cost of the Work actually incurred,
including the Construction Fee and General Conditions Costs, to exceed the GMP.
17.7.3
CM@Risk must prepare its GMP Proposal in accordance with Ci
request for GMP Proposal
requirements based on the most current completed Drawings and Specifications at that
time, which unless otherwise directed by City in writing, will be at 100% Construction
Drawings. CM@Risk must mark the face of each document of each set upon which its GMP
Proposal is
based.
These documents must be identified as the GMP Plans and
Specifications. CM@Risk
must send one set of those documents to the Project Manager,
keep one set and return the third set to the Design Professional.
17.7.4
An updated/revised Detailed Project Schedule, Equipment Plan, and Schedule of Values
must
be included in any GMP Proposal(s), all of which must reflect the GMP Plans and
Specifications
the Detailed Project Schedule must be shown in relationship to the Project
Schedule and identify any variance to the Baseline Project Schedule. Any such Detailed
Project Schedule updates/revisions must continue to comply with the requirements of
Section 17.3.1 through 17.3.5.
17.7.5
GMP Proposals(s) Review and Approval
17.7.5.1
CM@Risk must meet with the Project Team to review the GMP Proposal(s) and the written
statement of its basis.
In the event the Project Team discovers inconsistencies or
inaccuracies
in the information presented,
CM@Risk
must make adjustments
as
necessary to the GMP Proposal.
17.7.5.2
If during the review and negotiation of GMP Proposals design changes are required, City
may authorize and cause the Design Professional to revise the GMP Plans and Specifications
to the extent necessary to reflect the agreed-upon assumptions and clarifications contained
in the final approved GMP Proposal. Such revised GMP Plans and Specification will be
furnished to CM@Risk. CM@Risk must promptly notify the Project Team in writing if any
such revised
GMP Plans and Specifications are inconsistent with the agreed upon
assumptions and clarifications.
17.7.6
All portions of or items comprising the GMP Proposal are subject to audit by City, as
deemed appropriate by City, including, without limitation, any based upon unit prices or
Work to be self- performed by CM@Risk, or its affiliates.
17.8
PAYMENT PROCEDURE FOR PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
17.8.1
Requests for monthly payments by CM@Risk for Pre-Construction Services must be
submitted monthly and must be accompanied by a progress report, detailed invoices
and receipts, if
applicable. Any requests for payment must include, as a minimum, a
narrative description of the tasks accomplished during the billing period, a listing of any
Deliverables submitted, and copies of any
requests for payment, plus
similar narrative and listings of Deliverables associated with their Work. Payment for
services negotiated as a lump sum will be made in accordance with the percentage of work
completed during the preceding month.
17.8.2
In no event will City pay more than seventy-five (75%) of the Agreement Price until
acceptance of ALL Pre-Construction Services and award of the final approved Construction
Services Agreement for the entire Project by City Council. If CM@Risk does not prepare a

GMP Proposal that is
acceptable to City, or the
GMP Proposal exceeds
Construction Budget, then CM@Risk understands and acknowledges that it will forfeit any
right to receive the 25% of the Agreement Price being retained by City.
17.8.3
CM@Risk agrees that no charges or claims for costs or damages of any type will be made by
it for any delays or hindrances beyond the reasonable control of City during the progress of
any
portion of Pre-Construction Services specified in this Agreement. Such delays or
hindrances, if
any, will be solely compensated for by an extension of time for such
reasonable period and may be mutually agreed between the parties. It is understood
and agreed, however, that permitting CM@Risk to proceed to complete any such Services,
in whole or in part after the date to which the time of completion may have been extended,
will in no way act as a waiver on the part of City of any of their respective legal rights herein.
17.8.4
No compensation to CM@Risk will be allowed contrary to Article I, Chapter I, Title 34 of the
Arizona Revised Statutes.
17.8.5
If any service(s) executed by CM@Risk is abandoned or suspended in whole or in part, for
a period of more than 180 days through no fault of CM@Risk, CM@Risk is to be paid for
the services performed prior to the abandonment or suspension.
17.9
SURVIVAL OF THE DESIGN SERVICES AGREEMENT, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND
WARRANTIES
If the GMP Proposal is accepted by City and a Construction Agreement is entered into
between City and CM@Risk, the duties, obligations and warranties of CM@Risk under the
Pre- Construction Services Agreement survive and are incorporated into the resulting
Construction Agreement.

CALCULATING DELAYS AND DAMAGES
The purpose of this policy statement is to establish guidelines and procedures for negotiation between
the Contractor and City of Chandler relating to compensation for delays pursuant to Arizona Revised
Statutes (A.R.S.) 34-221(F). This policy statement contains notice requirements in addition to those set
forth in the Agreement Documents, and will be the Agreement Provision contemplated by that statute.
NOTE: As used herein, the term Engine
will refer to the City of Chandler City Engineer or
his/her designated representative. Nothing in this Policy Statement will be construed to void any
provision in the Agreement which requires timely notice of delays or provides for arbitration or
any other procedure for settlement or provides for liquidated damages.
I.
TYPES OF DELAYS:
For the purposes of this document, there are essentially four types of delays encountered by
City of Chandler Construction Contractors; excusable/compensable, excusable/non-
compensable, non- excusable, and concurrent. Only delays that extend Agreement
Completion Time set forth in the Agreement Document will be considered for issues
relating to Agreement extensions or additional compensation. All other delays are
considered to be activity delays and do not entitle the Contractor to either time extensions
or additional compensation. Agreement Completion Time will be defined as the date set forth
in Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Uniform Standard Specification Section 101
and as may be modified by the Agreement Documents.
A.
Excusable/Compensable:
These are delays caused solely by the City s actions or inactions, are unreasonable
under the circumstances, and which were not within the contemplation of the
parties to the Agreement at or prior to the time of execution of the Agreement.
Since the Contractor presumably has no control over the events causing the delay,
he may be entitled to both Agreement time extensions and additional compensation
for delay damages. Further, he/she may be entitled to additional compensation from
the impact of that delay on other work. Examples of excusable/compensable (E/C)
delays include: failure to properly locate an underground City-owned utility within 2
feet of the actual location; failure to relocate City-owned utilities far enough in
advance of construction in an area where the Contractor is scheduled to work that
it delays start or completion of the Contractor s regularly scheduled work; failure
to provide City-furnished equipment or materials in a timely manner if required by
the Agreement; failure to acquire necessary Right-of-Way or Public Utility Easements
prior to the Contractor beginning Work in the area; failure to timely return Shop
Drawings or other Agreement Submittals in accordance with the Agreement;
unreasonable delay by the City in making decisions which affect critical activities;
surveying errors when the City is contractually responsible for providing Project
Surveying. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, but is intended merely as examples
of the type of City action or inaction which can result in a Contractor s claim for
additional time and compensation.

APP-3 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
B.
Excusable/Non-compensable:
These are delays over which neither the City nor the Contractor had control. Since
both parties to the Agreement have been potentially damaged by the delay, but
neither have caused it, only Time Extensions are warranted. Examples of excusable,
non-compensable (E/N) delays include: unusually severe weather; fire; acts of God;
failure of non-City owned utilities (SRP, CenturyLink, Cable TV, Southern Pacific
Railroad, and Southwest Gas, etc.) to properly or timely locate accurately; failure of
non-City owned utilities to relocate in advance of construction; the voluntary or
involuntary filing for Bankruptcy protection by a Supplier or Subcontractor which
causes the Supplier/Subcontractor to fail to meet a contractual deadline provided the
Contractor can provide documentation that he/she executed the required Purchase
Orders/Subcontract Agreements and received delivery schedules which, if met,
would have eliminated the delay; delays as a result of an incomplete shutdown of a
City or non-City owned utility main (the City does not guarantee a complete
shutdown). This list also is not necessarily all inclusive but merely indicative of type
and class of E/N delays.
C.
Non-excusable/Non-compensable:
These are delays caused by the actions or inactions of Contractor or an officer,
employee, agent, Subcontractor, Supplier or any other party for whom the Contractor
is responsible. Since the Contractor has assumed responsibility for the risks
associated with the events that caused the delay, he/she are not entitled to either time
extensions or monetary delay damages. All non-excusable delays are also non-
compensable. Examples of non- excusable, non-compensable (N/N) delays include:
failure to perform by the Contractor, its Subcontractors and/or Suppliers (except as
noted in section I.B above); failure to provide adequate labor, materials, and/or
equipment on the Project; failure to perform contractually-required coordination
with utilities, agencies and other Contractors; failure to notify the Engineer, in writing,
of delay impacts within two working days, as required by MAG 104.2.3, or the next
work day, as required by MAG 109.8.2; failure to timely submit Shop Drawings; failure
to pothole or otherwise visually locate utilities sufficiently ahead of the Work to allow
the Engineer to direct corrective action when necessary; delays due to retesting of
previously failed work, re-inspection, and/or restaking resulting from faulty
workmanship, poor quality control, or lack of compliance with Agreement
Specifications. Again, this list is not necessarily all inclusive.
D.
Concurrent:
When two or more delays occur simultaneously or overlap, each delay is analyzed
separately to determine its impact on the overall project completion date based on
when that delay started. Once again, only those delays which actually extend the
Agreement completion time are considered as delays. The concurrent delay is
considered an additional delay only to the extent it prolongs the delay to the
Agreement Completion Time beyond the date that the one it is concurrent with had
already delayed that date. For example, if two delays are concurrent, and one is five
days long and the second is seven days long, the second concurrent delay will only
extend the Agreement Completion Time by two days. The same method of analysis is
7/20/2022
APP-4 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
used when there are multiple concurrent delays. Only those extending the Project
Completion Date are considered to be delays for the purposes of this policy. The
portion of each concurrent delay that delays the completion of the work is classified
in the same manner as described previously for individual delays and being either E/C,
E/N or N/N.
An example of a concurrent delay is where the City delays furnishing material, but
the Contractor could not have installed it anyway due to unusually severe weather. The
effect of the first delaying activity will extend for the full duration and will be
considered controlling on the Contractor s schedule. A subsequent, concurrent delay
will thereafter only be considered to effect the project completion (if at all) once the
first delaying activity has ceased to impact the project completion. In this case, if the
unusually severe weather continued and delayed the work after the material was
delivered, the first portion of the delay would be classified E/C (delay for material)
and the second as E/N (delay due to unusually severe weather). Using the procedure
set forth above, the entire concurrent portion would be considered E/C as shown in
the chart which follows.
Example of a Concurrent Delay:
E/C Delay
E/N Delay
City Related Material Delay
Rain Delay
II.
ANALYZING THE DELAY:
The Contractor must provide all documents required or requested by the Engineer to analyze the
delay(s). It is important to understand that, prior to the delay analysis, delays and their impacts are
alleged issues. The information the Contractor provides will be compared with the Inspector s Daily
Log, Schedules and other available Project information and together they will support or refute that
delays occurred and, if so, how they impact other work and the overall project completion. The
Contract
delay in providing these documents will be considered prima facie evidence that either
the delay did not occur or it did not impact the Project Completion Date and any claim for time
extension or damages will be denied.
The Engineer will accept delay analyses in CPM format, as these may demonstrate to his/her
satisfaction whether or not Project Completion has been impacted by a specific event. If the Contractor
chooses not to use CPM scheduling procedures, then the burden will be on the Contractor to prove
to the Engine
satisfaction that the Project Completion has been impacted. The procedures
7/20/2022
APP-5 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
below assume that the Contractor is using CPM scheduling methods. As a minimum the Contractor
must provide the following materials to the Engineer:
A.
As-Planned Schedule. The initial construction schedule, required by the Agreement
Documents, will be considered the baseline schedule. It is to the Contractor s
advantage that the As-Planned (baseline) Schedule be as detailed as possible in order
for delays, as they occur, to be incorporated into the schedule in representative
locations. It is also to the Contractor s advantage to use a computer software program
to generate the schedule since updated schedules are required monthly by the
Agreement Documents and since updated schedules are required to support
delays and requests for additional compensation for delays. The As-Planned
(baseline) Schedule must be presented in network format which clearly shows the
interrelationships of the activities. The Contractor must also provide a printout of the
activities showing early start, early finish, late start, late finish, duration and float. The
activity list printout must also indicate predecessor and successor activities.
B.
As-Built Schedules. The as planned (baseline) schedule must be updated with
complete progress-to-date information (actualized) up to the date of the start of the
alleged delay. Each updated schedule will serve as the as-built schedule for analyzing
the alleged delay and provide a new baseline as-planned schedule for the next delay.
This process must be repeated for each alleged delay as it occurs. In updating the
baseline schedule, the alleged delay must be treated as an activity and inserted into the
schedule as a predecessor to the impacted activity (ies). When an activity that has
already started is impacted, it is preferable to divide this activity into two parts and
show the impact affecting the second part. For schedules which incorporate a time
line (or data date), the delay activity must be inserted at the time it actually occurred.
Some software scheduling programs have a PAUSE-RESUME feature that can be
used to facilitate the requirements. The updated schedule must also be accompanied
by a listing of activities as with the baseline schedule. This activities list must contain
the alleged delay as an activity showing the duration and the activities which are
predecessors and successors to it. When computer generated schedules are used,
the Contractor must provide, in electronic media format, the complete data files for
the updated schedule that included the delay activity, preferably either in Suretrak
or in Microsoft Project. Each electronic media must contain a label identifying the
Project name, Contractor s name, program name and version number, data date
and project finish date.
C.
Other Documents: In order to determine the amount of the alleged delay and if it
is compensable, the Contractor must provide all backup documentation relevant to the
issue and as required by the Engineer. This documentation must include copies of
such items as: purchase orders; delivery schedules; correspondence; memoranda of
telephone calls; force account daily worksheets (initialed by the Inspector); payroll
data; estimating (bid) worksheets; and any other materials which may be requested
by the Engineer.
D.
Procedure: Only after receipt of sufficient documentation will the Engineer analyze
each alleged delay and determine if it is supported or refuted. If supported, the
Engineer will determine if it is excusable or non-excusable, compensable or non-
7/20/2022
APP-6 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
compensable. If the Engineer determines that the delay did not affect the Project
Completion, the as-planned schedule, which has been updated to the date of the
alleged delay, must be revised to indicate this. If the Engineer determines the delay
did occur but was N/N, then no time extension will be granted. It is imperative that
an actualized schedule be submitted as soon as the occurrence of the alleged delay
is known. In no event will the Contractor submit an actualized updated schedule
later than 60 days after the occurrence of the alleged delay becomes known.
If the Engineer determines the delay did occur and was excusable but, due to a
reason listed in section I.B. is non-compensable, he/she will determine the length of
the E/N delay and prepare a Change Order to add that time to the Agreement. The
Engineer s decision will be final.
If the Engineer determines the delay was excusable and compensable, he/she will
determine the length of the E/C delay and proceed to review the Contract
damage
calculations in accordance with Section III. The Engineer will check the Contractor s
calculations, review the backup documentation provided, and prepare a Change
Order to cover both the additional compensation and the time extension. The
Engineer s decision on both the time extension and additional compensation for the
delay will be final.
If the issue involves a concurrent delay, the Engineer will analyze available data
to determine the portions which are E/C, E/N, and/or N/N as described above. The
Engineer will proceed to determine the length of E/C delay and verify the Contractor s
delay damage calculations, if any are provided. Upon completion of this review, the
Engineer will prepare a Change Order for the Contractor s review and signature.
The Engine
decision regarding excusable delay and additional compensation for
the delay is final.
The amount of time the Engineer will require to analyze the alleged delay(s) will
depend upon the Engineer s workload, the complexity of the delay analysis,
availability of supporting data, extent of cooperation by the Contractor, and other
factors beyond the Engineer s control. It is entirely possible other delay(s) may occur
while the Engineer is analyzing particular claim for delay(s). The Engine
failure to
respond to the Contractor in a set period of time will not be used as the basis for
a further delay claim or as justification for extending and existing delay claim. The
time required for delay analysis by the Engineer will not be counted against the time
allotted for processing Final Payment as required by (MAG Section 109.7(B)) or the
release of retention and Final Payment as prescribed by A.R.S. Arizona Revised
Statutes §34-221.
III.
CALCULATING MONETARY DELAY DAMAGES:
Additional compensation for delay, when authorized by the Engineer, will be calculated in accordance
with MAG Section 109.5 ACTUAL COST WORK with the following exceptions:
A.
No additional compensation or other monetary damages will be awarded or paid for
any loss of anticipated profits by the Contractor, Subcontractors or Suppliers.
7/20/2022
APP-7 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
B.
No additional compensation or other monetary damages will be awarded for home
office overhead or non-project general conditions of the Contractor, Subcontractors
or Suppliers.
C.
Equipment:
1.
Contractor-owned equipment rate calculations must be computed in
accordance with Section 109.04(D)(3), Arizona Department of Transportation
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction 2008 or latest
edition and as modified herein. Year and regional adjustment factors must be
based on the most recent publications of the Rental Rate Blue Book for
Construction
Equipment, published
by
the
Equipment
Guide-Book
Company, San Jose, CA, same as provided by ADOT and in print as of the
date of alleged delay. In no event will the compensation for Contractor-
owned equipment exceed the purchase price, including tax, paid by the
Contractor for the equipment. Compensation will not be allowed for small tools
or equipment that show a daily equipment rental rate of less than $5.00 per
day or for unlisted equipment that has a value of less than for hundred
dollars ($400.00).
2.
For leased and rented equipment or equipment not otherwise listed in the
Blue Book, rental contracts, or other supporting data will be used to establish
the hourly rate. No hourly operating expense will be allowed for delay on
standby equipment. In no case will equipment be considered for rental which
exceeds the hourly rate for the first eight hours and the daily rate divided
by eight for all additional hours as compared with similar equipment listed in
the Blue Book. The hourly standby rate must be computed as the lesser of:
a.
Dividing the monthly invoice or rental value by 176 hours
per month when the equipment is utilized by the Contractor
for more than three weeks;
b.
Dividing the monthly invoice or rental value by 40 hours per
week when the equipment is utilized by the Contractor for
more than three days.
In no event will compensation be paid for delay at more than
8 hours per day or 40 hours per week.
3.
Except for vehicles used by supervisory personnel, all equipment will be paid
at the standby rate during the delay period.
4.
Equipment brought solely to mitigate the delay (such as pumps, light plants,
etc.) may be paid in accordance with ADOT section 109.04(D) (3).
5.
The Blue Book regional adjustment will apply in determining rental rates.
D.
Material:
Allowable material charges may include, in addition to material incorporated in the
7/20/2022
APP-8 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 1
work material used to mitigate the delay such as barricades, plates, shoring, cold
mix, etc. Except in emergencies the Contractor will not employ such material
without the prior written approval of the Engineer.
E.
Labor:
1.
Except for Supervisory Personnel (Superintendent, Project Engineer, and
Foremen), labor wages will not be paid after the first one-half day of claimed
delay or impact. It is expected the Contractor will reassign or layoff
unneeded employees.
2.
For Foreman wages to be included, that Foreman must have been actively
employed on the project prior to the commencement of the delay and be
directly responsible for the activity being delayed.
3.
Labor burden must be actual amounts incurred but must not exceed the
ADOT approved rate.
F.
All costs (equipment, material, and labor) must be substantiated by the City of
Chandler s Daily Work Reports.
IV.

COST REDUCTION INCENTIVE PROPOSALS
FOR DESIGN BID BUILD AGREEMENTS
The Contractor may submit to the Engineer proposals for modifying the Plans, Specifications, or
other requirements of the Agreement for the sole purpose of reducing the total cost of Project
construction. The proposals must not impair in any manner the essential functions or characteristics
of the project; including but not limited to service life, economy of operations, ease of maintenance,
desired appearance, compatibility with existing or planned equipment, standardization of systems,
or design and safety standards.
It must not be inferred from this Policy that the Engineer is required to consider any proposal
submitted.
Submissions that propose changes in the basic design of a bridge, propose changes in pipe line
size, materials, bedding conditions, pipe specifications; or that propose any change in pavement design
will not be considered.
Proposals submitted pursuant to this Policy will be identified as Cost Reduction Incentive Proposals.
They must be submitted in writing and, at a minimum, contain the following.
1.
Complete the attached or similar cost reduction incentive proposal form.
2.
A description of both the existing Agreement Requirements for performing the work
and the proposed changes.
3.
All Engineering Drawings and computations necessary for the thorough and
expeditious evaluation.
4.
An itemization of the existing Agreement Requirements that must be changed if the
Proposal is adopted and a recommendation as to the manner in which the change
should be made.
5.
A detailed estimate of the cost of performing the Work under the existing
Agreement and under the proposed changes, including the cost of developing and
implementing the changes.
6.
The Agreement items affected by the proposed changes and any variations in
quantities resulting from the changes.
7.
An objective estimate of any effects the proposal will have on collateral cost to the
City, costs of related items, and cost of maintenance and operation.
8.
A statement as to the effect that the Proposal will have on the time for the completion
of the Project.
9.
A statement as to the time by which a Change Order adopting the Proposal must
be executed or when the Engineer must have given verbal approval.
7/20/2022
APP-12 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 2
Proposals will be processed expeditiously; however, the City will not be liable for any delay in acting
upon any Proposal nor for any failure to accept any Proposal pursuant to this Special Provision.
The Engineer will be the sole judge of the acceptability of a Proposal and of the estimated net savings
in construction costs from the adoption of all or any part of the Proposal. The Contractor will be
notified in writing by the Engineer as to whether his/her Proposal has been accepted. The decision by
the Engineer is final.
When the City deems such action to be appropriate, it reserves the right to require the Contractor to
share equally in the cost to the City of investigating, evaluating, and processing the proposal as a
condition for the consideration of such Proposal. Such cost must be shared whether the Proposal is
accepted or rejected. When such a condition is imposed, the City will estimate these costs and the
Contractor must indicate his acceptance thereof in writing. Such acceptance will authorize the City to
deduct the Contract
share of the costs from any monies due or that may become due to the
Contractor under the Agreement.
If the Contractor s Proposal is accepted in whole or in part, the necessary Agreement Modifications
and Agreement Price Adjustments will be affected by the execution of a Change Order which will
specifically state that it is executed pursuant to this Special Provision.
The Contractor must continue to perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the
Agreement until a Change Order incorporating the Proposal has been executed or until he/she has
been given verbal approval by the Engineer that his/her Proposal has been accepted. If the Change
Order has not been executed or he/she has not been given verbal approval on or before the date
specified on the attached cost reduction incentive proposal form or on or before such other date as the
Contractor may have subsequently specified in writing, the Proposal may be deemed to be rejected.
The executed Change Order will incorporate the changes in the Plans, Specifications, or other
requirements of the Agreement which are necessary to permit the Proposal, or such part of it which
has been accepted, to be put into effect, and will include any condition upon which the Citys
approval thereof is based, if such approval is conditional. The executed Change Order may also
extend the time for the completion of the Agreement if such an extension has been deemed to be
warranted by the Engineer as a result of his evaluation of the Proposal.
The executed Change Order will also establish the estimated net savings in the cost of performing
the Work attributable to the Proposal effectuated by the Change Order. In determining the net
savings, the right is reserved to the Engineer to disregard the Agreement bid prices if, in his/her
judgment, such prices do not represent a fair measure of the value of the Work to be performed or
to be deleted. The net savings will be established by determining the Contract
cost of performing
the Work, taking into account his/her cost of developing the Proposal and implementing the change,
and reducing this amount by any ascertainable collateral costs to the City. The executed Change
Order may provide that the Contractor be paid 50 percent of the estimated net savings amount.
The executed Change Order may also provide for the adjustment in Agreement prices. Agreement
prices may be adjusted by subtracting the City s share of the accrued net savings.
The amount specified to be paid to the Contractor in the executed Change Order which effectuates a
Cost Reduction Proposal will constitute full compensation to the Contractor for the Cost Reduction

will have the right to use all or any part of the Proposal without obligation or compensation of any
kind to the Contractor.

approval for any proposed
Subcontract Change Order, Material Purchase Order, or other financial commitment in an
amount in excess of $5,000 prior to placing such order or entering into such agreement
(regardless of whether or not any such commitment will affect the prime Agreement

Order, Purchase Order or other financial commitment entered into in violation of the above
notice and approval requirement will not be included in the amounts owning to Contractor,
Subcontractors or Suppliers whether as Costs of the Work or as reasonable termination costs
in the event of termination.

Costs of Material and Equipment Incorporated in the Completed Construction
1.4.1
Costs, including transportation and storage, of materials and equipment incorporated or
to be incorporated in the completed construction.
1.4.2
Costs of materials described in the preceding Subparagraph 1.4.1 in excess of those
actually installed to allow for reasonable waste and spoilage. Unused excess materials, in

deduction from the Cost of Work.
1.4.3
Proceeds from the sale of recyclable materials, scrap, waste, etc. will be credited to job cost.
1.5
Costs of Other materials and Equipment, Temporary Facilities and Related Items

Costs, including transportation and storage, installation, maintenance, dismantling and
removal of materials, supplies, temporary facilities, machinery, equipment and hand tools
not customarily owned by construction workers, that are provided by the Contractor at the
site and fully consumed in the performance of the Work; and cost (less salvage value) of such
items if not fully consumed, whether sold to others or retained by Contractor. Cost for items
previously used by Contractor will mean fair market value.
1.5.2
Rental charges for temporary facilities, machinery, equipment, and hand tools not
customarily owned by construction workers that are provided by Contractor at the site,
whether rented from Contractor or others, and costs of transportation, installation, minor
repairs and replacements,
dismantling and removal thereof. Rates and quantities of
equipment rented will be subject to
prior written approval.
1.5.2.1 The Projected usage for each piece of equipment to be rented for use on the Project and
the estimated total rentals must be considered by Contractor before the piece of equipment
is rented so that an appropriate rent versus buy decision can be made. Purchased
equipment must be considered
At the completion of the Project, Contractor
must transfer title and possession of all remaining job-owned equipment to City, or
Contractor may keep any such equipment for an appropriate fair market value credit to job
cost, which will be mutually agreed to by City and Contractor.
1.5.2.2 Each piece of equipment to be rented must have hourly, daily, weekly and monthly rates and
7/20/2022
APP-26 of 33
General Conditions
Appendix 9 CM@Risk & JOC
the most economical rate available will be reimbursed based on the circumstances of actual
need and usage of the piece of equipment while it is stationed at the jobsite. When the
piece of equipment is no longer needed for the work, no rental charges will be reimbursed
if the piece of equipment remains at the jobsite for the convenience of Contractor.
1.5.2.3 Equipment Rental Rates
1.5.2.3.1 Compensation for equipment used on the Project will be paid in accordance with the
Equipment Plan submitted by Contractor in the accepted GMP Proposal and no payments

costs, whichever is less.
1.5.2.3.2 All equipment rental rates and costs are subject to
right to audit when submitted as
part of Equipment Plan and/or at any time during the Project.
1.5.2.4 The aggregate rentals chargeable for each piece of Contractor owned tools or equipment must
not exceed 50% of the fair market value of such equipment at the time of its commitment to
the Work. The original purchase price and date of purchase of the equipment will be
documented with a copy of the purchase invoice for the piece of equipment. Such aggregate
limitations will apply and no further rentals will be charged even if a piece of equipment is taken
off the job and is later replaced by a similar piece of equipment. For purposes of computing
the aggregate rentals applicable to aggregate rental limitations, rental charges for similar
pieces of equipment will be combined if the pieces of equipment were not used at the same
time.
1.5.2.5 Fair market value for used material and equipment as referred to in the Agreement
Documents will mean the estimated price a reasonable purchaser would pay to purchase
the used material or equipment at the time it was initially needed for the job. Note: This is
usually lower than the price a reasonable purchaser would pay for similar new construction
material or construction equipment.
1.5.2.6 All losses resulting from lost, damaged or stolen tools and equipment will be the sole
responsibility of Contractor, and not City, and the cost of such losses will not be reimbursable
under the Agreement.
1.5.2.7 Contractor will be required to maintain a detailed equipment inventory of all job-owned
equipment (either purchased and charged to job cost or job-owned through aggregate
rentals) and such inventory must be submitted to City each month. For each piece of
equipment, such inventory should contain at a minimum (1) original purchase price or
acquisition cost (2) acquisition date (3) approved Fair Market Value at the time the piece of
equipment was first used on the job and (4) final disposition.
1.5.2.8 All costs incurred for minor maintenance and repairs will be reimbursed at actual cost. Such
costs include routine and preventative maintenance, minor repairs and other incidental costs.
Repairs and/or replacement of a capital nature are considered to be covered by the rental
rates. Major repairs and overhauls are not considered routine and ordinary; consequently
such costs are not reimbursable and are intended to be covered by the rental rates.

the Contractor. If the Contractor completes Work for less than the Agreement Price,
Contractor must credit the City a pro- rated amount for the unused portion of the bond
payment
1.6.1.1
actual cost for insurance will be considered to be included within the Maximum
limit for General Conditions Costs. All premiums for any insurance and bonds required for
the Project must reflect the net actual costs to Contractor after taking into consideration cost
adjustments due to experience modifiers, premium discounts, policy dividends, retrospective
rating plan premium adjustments, assigned risk pool rebates, refunds, etc.

higher cost in writing. If
cost of contractually required insurance is greater
than the amount agreed to be reimbursed per this Agreement Provision, the difference will
be considered to be covered by the
Fee. The City will reimburse Contractor
for contractually required insurance on a monthly basis for GMP and Cost-Based
Agreements. If Contractor can demonstrate substantial savings by paying for all insurance in
advance, the City may agree to reimburse all insurance costs at time of first pay application
for GMP and Cost-Based Agreements with proof of payment from Contractor.

limited to the cost of personal computer hardware used at the field office in the normal
day to day administration, management and control of the Project. The aggregate charges
for any such hardware must not exceed the Fair Market Value of the hardware at the time it
was brought to the field office. If the total charges for any particular piece of hardware reach
an amount equal to the Fair Market Value, that particular piece of hardware must be turned
over to City whenever it is no longer needed for the Project. If Contractor elects to keep the
particular piece of hardware, the job costs must be credited with a mutually agreeable
amount which will represent the Fair Market Value of the particular piece of hardware at the
time it was no longer needed for the job. Software or other costs associated with the use of
computer programs will not be considered to be a reimbursable cost and will be considered

d. Taped or heat-shrink splices. A taped splice shall be made in the following manner:
Bring the cables to their final position and cut so that the conductors will butt. Remove insulation and jacket
allowing for bare conductor of proper length to fit compression sleeve connector with 1/4 inch of bare
conductor on each side of the connector. Prior to splicing, the two ends of the cable insulation shall be
penciled using a tool designed specifically for this purpose and for cable size and type. Do not use emery
paper on splicing operation since it contains metallic particles. The copper conductors shall be thoroughly
cleaned. Join the conductors by inserting them equidistant into the compression connection sleeve. Crimp
conductors firmly in place with crimping tool that requires a complete crimp before tool can be removed.
Test the crimped connection by pulling on the cable. Scrape the insulation to assure that the entire surface
over which the tape will be applied (plus 3 inches on each end) is clean. After scraping, wipe the entire area
with a clean lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents.
Apply high-voltage rubber tape one-half lapped over bare conductor. This tape should be tensioned as
recommended by the manufacturer. Voids in the connector area may be eliminated by highly elongating
the tape, stretching it just short of its breaking point. The manufacturer's recommendation for stretching
tape during splicing shall be followed. Always attempt to exactly half-lap to produce a uniform buildup.
Continue buildup to 1-1/2 times cable diameter over the body of the splice with ends tapered a distance of
approximately one inch over the original jacket. Cover rubber tape with two layers of vinyl pressure-
sensitive tape one-half lapped. Do not use glyptol or lacquer over vinyl tape as they react as solvents to the
tape. No further cable covering, or splice boxes are required.
not be permitted unless recommended by the manufacturer. Cable surfaces within the limits of the heat-
shrink application shall be clean and free of contaminates prior to application.
