§ 3.1 General

§ 3.1.1 The Design-Builder shall comply with any applicable licensing
requirements in the jurisdiction where the Project is located. The
Design-Builder shall be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee

§ 3.1.2 The Design-Builder shall designate in writing a representative who is
authorized to act on the Design-Builder’s behalf with respect to the Project.

§ 3.1.3 The Design-Builder shall perform the Work in accordance with the

Work and shall bear the costs attributable to correction.

§ 3.1.3.2 Neither the Design-Builder nor any Contractor, Consultant, or
Architect shall be obligated to perform any act which they reasonably believe
will violate any applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and
regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities. If the Design-Builder

Owner, including those in the Owner’s Criteria, would cause a violation of any
applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful
orders of public authorities, the Design-Builder shall notify the Owner in
writing. Upon verification by the Owner that a change to the Owner’s Criteria is
required to remedy the violation, the Owner and the Design-Builder shall execute

professional services provided under this Agreement is against the
Design-Builder, unless the Design-Builder assigns its rights against any of the
Architect or other Consultants to the Owner in accordance with Section 3.1.15 or
otherwise in writing or the Design-Builder ceases to exist or is render
insolvent.

§ 3.1.11.4 The Work shall be in accordance with approved Submittals except that
the Design-Builder shall not be relieved of its responsibility to perform the
Work consistent with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents. The Work
may deviate from the Design-Build Documents only if the Design-Builder has
notified the Owner in writing of a deviation from the Design-Build Documents at
the time of the Submittal and a Modification is executed authorizing the
identified deviation. The Design-Builder shall not be relieved of responsibility
for errors or omissions in Submittals by the Owner’s approval of the Submittals.

§ 3.1.11.5 All professional design services or certifications to be provided by
the Design-Builder, including all drawings, calculations, specifications,
certifications, shop drawings and other Submittals, shall contain the signature
and seal of the licensed design professional preparing them. Submittals related
to the Work designed or certified by the licensed design professionals, if
prepared by others, shall bear the licensed design professional’s written
approval. The Owner and its consultants shall be entitled to rely upon the
adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services, certifications or approvals
performed by such design professionals.

§ 3.1.12 Warranty. The Design-Builder warrants to the Owner that materials and
equipment furnished under the Contract will be of good quality and new unless
the Design-Build Documents require or permit otherwise. The Design-Builder
further warrants that the labor, materials and equipment will conform to the
requirements of the Design-Build Documents and will be free from defects, except
for those inherent in the quality of the Work or otherwise expressly permitted
by the Design-Build Documents. Labor, materials, or equipment not conforming to
these requirements may be considered defective as reasonably determined by the
Owner. The Design-Builder’s warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect caused
by abuse by persons or entities other than the Design Builder or its Architect,
Consultants, or Contractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of
them for whose acts they may be liable, alterations to the Work not executed by
the Design-Builder, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or
normal wear and tear and normal usage. If required by the Owner, the
Design-Builder shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of
materials and equipment furnished under the Contract. This remedy is in addition
to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies the Owner may have under the
Contract Documents, at law, or in equity. For clarity, the warranties set forth
in this provision do not apply to design services, as design services must
comply with the applicable standard of care and this Contract.

but shall not be responsible for such defense or loss when a particular design,
process or product of a particular manufacturer or manufacturers is required by
the Owner in writing, or where the copyright violations are required in the
Owner’s Criteria. However, if the Design-Builder has reason to believe that the
design, process or product required in the Owner’s Criteria is an infringement
of a copyright or a patent, the Design-Builder shall be responsible for such
loss unless such information is promptly furnished to the Owner. If the Owner
receives notice from a patent or copyright owner of an alleged violation of a
patent or copyright, attributable to the Design-Builder, the Owner shall give
prompt written notice to the Design-Builder.

only to the extent caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the
Design-Builder, Architect, a Consultant, a Contractor, or anyone directly or
indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable. Such
obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or
obligations of indemnity that would otherwise exist as to Owner or a person or
entity described in this Section 3.1.14.

§ 3.1.14.2 The indemnification obligation under this Section 3.1.14 shall not be

the Owner or a separate contractor the Design-Builder’s consent to cutting or
otherwise altering the Work.

§ 5.11 Cleaning Up

§ 5.11.1 The Design-Builder shall keep the site of the Project and adjacent
areas and buildings free from accumulation of waste materials or rubbish caused
by operations under the Contract. At completion of the Work, the Design-Builder
shall remove waste materials, rubbish, the Design-Builder’s tools, construction
equipment, machinery and surplus materials from and about the Project.

§ 5.11.2 If the Design-Builder fails to clean up as provided in the Design-Build
Documents, the Owner may do so and Owner shall be entitled to reimbursement from
the Design-Builder.

§ 5.12 Access to Work

The Design-Builder shall provide the Owner and its separate contractors and
consultants access to the Work in preparation and progress wherever located. The
Design-Builder shall notify the Owner regarding Project safety criteria and
programs, which the Owner, and its contractors and consultants, shall comply

§ 5.13.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations
related to the Project with the Owner’s own forces; and to award separate
contracts in connection with other portions of the Project, or other
construction or operations on the Project site, under terms and conditions
identical or substantially similar to this Contract, including those terms and
conditions related to insurance and waiver of subrogation. The Owner shall
notify the Design-Builder promptly after execution of any separate contract. If
the Design-Builder claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of
such action by the Owner, the Design-Builder shall make a Claim as provided in
Article 14.

§ 5.13.1.2 When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the

and the Owner until subsequently revised.

§ 5.13.1.4 Unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents, when the
Owner performs construction or operations related to the Project with the
Owner’s own forces or separate contractors, the Owner shall be deemed to be
subject to the same obligations, and to have the same rights, that apply to the
Design-Builder under the Contract.

§ 5.14 Mutual Responsibility

§ 5.14.1 The Design-Builder shall afford the Owner and separate contractors
reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and

contractor that would render it unsuitable for proper execution and results of
the Design-Builder’s Work. Failure of the Design-Builder to report shall
constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner’s or separate contractor’s completed
or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the
Design-Builder’s Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.

§ 5.14.3 The Design-Builder shall reimburse the Owner for costs the Owner incurs
that are payable to a separate contractor because of the Design-Builder’s
delays, improperly timed activities or defective construction. The Owner shall
be responsible to the Design-Builder for costs the Design-Builder incurs because
of a separate contractor’s delays, improperly timed activities, damage to the
Work or defective construction. Any such reimbursement or responsibility shall
be as set forth in a Change Order.

§ 5.14.4 The Design-Builder shall promptly remedy damage the Design-Builder
wrongfully causes to completed or partially completed construction or to
property of the Owner or separate contractors as provided in Section 10.2.5.

§ 5.14.5 The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the same
responsibilities for cutting and patching the Work as the Design-Builder has
with respect to the construction of the Owner or separate contractors in
Section 5.10.

§ 5.15 Owner’s Right to Clean Up

If a dispute arises among the Design-Builder, separate contractors and the Owner
as to the responsibility under their respective contracts for maintaining the
premises and surrounding area free from waste materials and rubbish, the Owner
may clean up and will allocate the cost among those responsible.

§5.16 Start-Up

As the completion of each portion of the Project approaches, the Design-Builder
shall direct the testing, start-up and check-out of utilities and operating
systems and equipment in accordance with the Contract Documents. The testing,
start-up and check-out shall be thorough and conducted in such a manner so as to
discover any defects. The Design-Builder shall report any defects discovered to
the Owner in writing.

§5.17 Training

During the testing, start-up and check-out of all utilities and operating
systems and equipment described in Section 5.16, the Design-Builder shall
provide for the Owner’s maintenance personnel to receive training in the proper
operation of, and routine maintenance on, all utilities, operating systems and
equipment in accordance with Contract Documents. The Design-Builder shall
videotape such training for the Owner’s subsequent use.

ARTICLE 6     CHANGES IN THE WORK

§ 6.1 General

§ 6.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Contract,
and without invalidating the Contract, by Change Order or Change Directive,
subject to the limitations stated in this Article 6 and elsewhere in the
Design-Build Documents.

§ 6.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement between the Owner and
Design-Builder. The Owner may issue a Change Directive without agreement by the
Design-Builder.

§ 6.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of
the Design-Build Documents, and the Design-Builder shall proceed promptly with
changes, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order or Change Directive.
Except as permitted by Sections 6.3 and 9.7, a change in the Contract Sum, the
Contract Time or the Design-Build Documents shall be accomplished only by Change
Order. Accordingly, no course of conduct or dealings between the Owner and the
Design-Builder, nor express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to
the Work, and except in relation to a change order proposed by Design-Builder
and rejected by Owner based on Owner’s contention that the proposed change is
not necessary because it already is included in the existing scope of the Work,
no claim that the Owner has been unjustly enriched by any alteration of or
addition to the Work, shall be the basis for any claim for an increase in any
amount due under the Design-Build Documents, including the Contract Sum, or an
increase in any time for performance under the Design-Build Documents, including
the Contract Time.

§ 6.2 Change Orders

A Change Order is a written instrument signed by the Owner and Design-Builder
stating their agreement upon all of the following:

.1    The change in the Work and the Design-Build Documents;

.2    The amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or, if prior to
execution of the Design-Build Amendment, the adjustment in the Design-Builder’s
compensation; and

.3    The extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time.

Agreement on a Change Order shall constitute a final settlement of all matters
relating to the change in the Work that is the subject of the Change Order,
including but not limited to, all direct and indirect costs and consequential
damages associated with such change and any adjustments to the Guaranteed
Maximum Price, the Contract Time, the Design-Build Documents and the
construction schedule.

§ 6.3 Change Directives

§ 6.3.1 A Change Directive is a written order signed by the Owner directing a
change in the Work or the Design-Build Documents prior to agreement on
adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or, if prior to execution of the
Design-Build Amendment, the adjustment in the Design-Builder’s compensation, or
Contract Time. The Owner may by Change Directive, without invalidating the
Contract, order changes in the Work consisting of additions, deletions or other
revisions, the Contract Sum or, if prior to execution of the Design-Build
Amendment, the adjustment in the Design-Builder’s compensation, and Contract
Time being adjusted accordingly.

§ 6.3.2 A Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on
the terms of a Change Order.

§ 6.3.3 If the Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum
or, if prior to execution of the Design-Build Amendment, an adjustment in the
Design-Builder’s compensation, the adjustment shall be based on one of the
following methods:

.1    Mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by
sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation;

.2    Unit prices stated in the Design-Build Documents or subsequently agreed
upon;

.3    Cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the Owner and the
Design-Builder and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee; or

.4    As provided in Section 6.3.7.

§ 6.3.4 If unit prices are stated in the Design-Build Documents or subsequently
agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are materially changed in
a proposed Change Order or Change Directive so that application of such unit
prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the
Owner or Design-Builder, the applicable unit prices shall be adjusted by Change
Order.

§ 6.3.5 Upon receipt of a Change Directive, the Design-Builder shall promptly
proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the Owner of the
Design-Builder’s agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in
the Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum
or, if prior to execution of the Design-Build Amendment, the adjustment in the
Design-Builder’s compensation, or Contract Time.

§ 6.3.6 A Change Directive signed by the Design-Builder indicates the
Design-Builder’s agreement therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum or,
if prior to execution of the Design-Build Amendment, the adjustment in the
Design-Builder’s compensation, and Contract Time or the method for determining
them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a
Change Order.

§ 6.3.7 If the Design-Builder does not respond promptly or disagrees with the
method for adjustment in the Contract Sum or, if prior to execution of the
Design-Build Amendment, the method for adjustment in the Design-Builder’s
compensation, the Owner shall determine the method and the adjustment on the
basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work
attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase, an amount for
overhead and profit as set forth in the Agreement, or if no such amount is set
forth in the Agreement, a reasonable amount. If the Design-Builder does not
respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment of the Contract
Time, the method and adjustment shall be determined by extending the Contract
Time by one work day for each work day of actual excusable delay in accordance
the Design-Build Documents. In such case, and also under

attributable to the change.

Unless otherwise established in the Design-Build Documents, (1) the rental value
of the Design-Builder’s own equipment shall not exceed the rates in the current
edition of “Compilation of Rental Rates for Construction Equipment” prepared by
Associated Equipment Distributors, Oak Brook, Illinois, and (2) the aggregate
amounts charged to the Owner for such equipment shall not exceed the respective
fair market values.

§ 6.3.8 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Design-Builder to the Owner
for a deletion or change that results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum or,
if prior to execution of the Design-Build Amendment, in the Design-Builder’s
compensation, shall be actual net cost. When both additions and credits covering
related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for
overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with
respect to that change.

§ 6.3.9 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Change Directive to
the Owner, the Design-Builder may request payment for Work completed under the
Change Directive in Applications for Payment in accordance with the Change
Directive as set forth in Sections 6.3.7 and 6.3.8, as applicable.

§ 6.3.10 When the Owner and Design-Builder agree with a determination concerning
the adjustments in the Contract Sum or, if prior to execution of the
Design-Build Amendment, the adjustment in the Design-Builder’s compensation and
Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement
shall be effective immediately and the Owner and Design-Builder shall execute a
Change Order. Change Orders may be issued for all or any part of a Change
Directive.

the Project involving structural or mechanical systems; chemical, air and water
pollution; hazardous materials; or environmental and subsurface conditions and
information regarding the presence of pollutants at the Project site. Where
reasonably necessary for the Work, upon receipt of a written request from the
Design-Builder, the Owner shall also provide surveys describing physical
characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for the site of the
Project, and a legal description of the site under the Owner’s control.

§ 7.2.3 The Owner shall promptly obtain easements, zoning variances, and legal
authorizations or entitlements regarding site utilization where essential to the
execution of the Project.

§ 7.2.4 The Owner shall cooperate with the Design-Builder in securing building
and other permits, licenses and inspections.

§ 7.2.5 The services, information, surveys and reports required to be provided
by the Owner under this Agreement, shall be furnished at the Owner’s expense,
and except as otherwise specifically therein or provided in this Agreement or
elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents or to the extent the Owner advises the
Design-Builder to the contrary in writing, the Design-Builder shall be entitled
to rely upon the accuracy and completeness thereof. In no event shall the
Design-Builder be relieved of its responsibility to exercise proper precautions
relating to the safe performance of the Work.

§ 7.2.6 If the Owner observes or otherwise becomes aware of a fault or defect in
the Work or non-conformity with the Design-Build Documents, the Owner shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Design-Builder.

§ 7.2.7 Prior to the execution of the Design-Build Amendment, the Design-Builder
may request in writing that the Owner provide reasonable evidence that the Owner
has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the
Design-Build Documents and the Design-Builder’s Proposal. Thereafter, the
Design-Builder may only request such evidence if (1) the Owner fails to make
payments to the Design-Builder as the Design-Build Documents require; (2) a
change in the Work materially changes the Contract Sum; or (3) the
Design-Builder identifies in writing a reasonable concern regarding the Owner’s
ability to make payment when due.

§ 7.2.8 Except as otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents or when
direct communications have been specially authorized, the Owner shall
communicate with persons or entities employed or retained by the Design-Builder
through or with notice to the Design-Builder.

§ 7.3.2 Upon review of the Submittals required by the Design-Build Documents,
the Owner shall notify the Design-Builder of any non-conformance with the
Design-Build Documents the Owner discovers.

§ 7.4 Visits to the site by the Owner shall not be construed to create an
obligation on the part of the Owner to make on-site inspections to check the
quality or quantity of the Work. The Owner shall neither have control over or
charge of, nor be responsible for, the construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, or for the safety precautions and programs in
connection with the Work, because these are solely the Design-Builder’s rights
and responsibilities under the Design-Build Documents.

§ 7.5 The Owner shall not be responsible for the Design-Builder’s failure to
perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build
Documents. The Owner shall not have control over or charge of, and will not be
responsible for acts or omissions of the Design-Builder, Architect, Consultants,
Contractors, or their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities
performing portions of the Work for the Design-Builder.

§ 7.6 The Owner has the authority to reject Work that does not conform to the
Design-Build Documents. The Owner shall have authority to require inspection or
testing of the Work in accordance with Section 15.5.2, whether or not such Work
is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the
Owner nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise
such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Owner to the
Design-Builder, the Architect, Consultants, Contractors, material and equipment
suppliers, their agents or employees, or other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work.

§ 7.7 The Owner shall determine the actual date or dates of Substantial
Completion in accordance with Section 9.8 and the date of final completion in
accordance with Section 9.10.

§ 7.8 Owner’s Right to Stop Work

If the Design-Builder fails to correct Work which is not in accordance with the
requirements of the Design-Build Documents as required by Section 11.2 or fails
to carry out Work in accordance with the Design-Build Documents and the most
recent schedule approved by the Owner, the Owner may issue a written order to
the Design-Builder to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for
such order has been eliminated; however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work
shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right
for the benefit of the Design-Builder or any other person or entity, except to
the extent required by Section 5.13.1.3.

§ 7.9 Owner’s Right to Carry Out the Work

If the Design-Builder defaults or fails to carry out the Work in accordance with
the Design-Build Documents or in accordance with the most recent schedule
approved by the Owner and fails within a ten-day period after receipt of written
notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such default or
failure with diligence and promptness to completion, the Owner may, without
prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such deficiencies. In
such case, an appropriate Change Order or Change Directive shall be issued
deducting from payments then or thereafter due the Design-Builder the reasonable
cost of correcting such deficiencies. If payments then or thereafter due the
Design-Builder are not sufficient to cover such amounts, the Design-Builder
shall pay the difference to the Owner upon request.

§7.10 Extent of Owner’s Rights

The rights set forth in this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Design-Build
Documents are cumulative and not in limitation of any rights of the Owner
(1) granted in the Design-Build Documents or (2) at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 8    TIME

§ 8.1 Progress and Completion

§ 8.1.1 Time limits stated in the Design-Build Documents are of the essence of
the Contract. By executing the Design-Build Amendment the Design-Builder
confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.

§ 8.1.2 The Design-Builder shall not, except by agreement of the Owner in
writing, commence the Work prior to the effective date of insurance, other than
property insurance, required by this Contract. The Contract Time shall not be
adjusted as a result of the Design-Builder’s failure to obtain insurance
required under this Contract.

§ 8.1.3 The Design-Builder shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and
shall achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time.

§8.1.4 When any period of time is referred to in the Design-Build Documents by
days, it shall be computed to exclude the first and include the last day of such
period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday, such day will be omitted from the computation and such period
shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.

8.1.5 Except as excluded by Section 8.1.4, the Contract Time and all time
periods referred to in the Design-Build Documents include Saturdays, Sundays and
legal holidays.

§ 8.2 Delays and Extensions of Time

§ 8.2.1 If the critical path of the Work is delayed at any time in the
commencement or progress of the Work by an act or omission of the Owner or of a
consultant or separate contractor employed by the Owner; or by changes ordered
in the Work by the Owner by Change Directive; or by general labor disputes not
related to the Project, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, unavoidable
casualties or other causes beyond the Design-Builder’s control; or by delay
authorized by the Owner pending mediation and binding dispute resolution or by
other causes that the Owner determines may justify delay, then the Contract Time
shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Owner may
determine. Except delays caused by unusual adverse weather, no adjustment to the
Contract Time shall be permitted to the extent a delay (1) is caused or could
have been reasonably anticipated and prevented by the Design-Builder, (2) could
be limited or avoided by the Design-Builder’s timely notice to the Owner of the
delay or reasonable likelihood that a delay will occur, or (3) is of a duration
of one day or less. The Contract Time shall be extended only by a Change Order
demonstrating the justification, evidence of actual days delayed or impacted and
the effect on the construction schedule. Determination of the merits of a
request for extension of time due to unusual adverse weather will be made in
accordance with Section 14.1.6.2 and this Article 8.

§ 8.2.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable
provisions of Article 14.

§ 8.2.3 To the extent permitted by law, this Section 8.2 does not preclude
recovery of damages for delay by either party under other provisions of the
Design-Build Documents.

§8.2.4 If the Design-Builder submits a schedule or progress report indicating,
or otherwise expresses in writing an intention to achieve, completion of the
Work prior to Substantial Completion or other similar date required by the
Design-Build Documents or expiration of Contract Time, an activity shall be
added to the construction schedule equal in duration to the period of time
between the intended completion day and the date of Substantial Completion or
other similar date required by the Design-Build Documents, as applicable. No
liability of the Owner to the Design-Builder for any failure of the
Design-Builder to so complete the Work shall be created or implied regardless of
the cause of or reason for the Design-Builder’s failure to do so.

§8.2.5 The Design-Builder shall not make any Claim for an increase in the
Contract Sum or Contract Time. unless the Design-Builder is delayed in the
progress of the Work by unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the

from default or collusion on the part of the Design-Builder; and (8) acts of war
or terrorism having a demonstrable, direct, adverse effect on the ability of the
Design-Builder to perform its obligation under the Contract.

ARTICLE 9    PAYMENT APPLICATIONS AND PROJECT COMPLETION

§ 9.1 Contract Sum

The Contract Sum is stated in the Design-Build Amendment.

§ 9.2 Schedule of Values

Where the Contract Sum is based on a stipulated sum or Guaranteed Maximum Price,
the Design-Builder, prior to the first Application for Payment after execution
of the Design-Build Amendment shall submit to the Owner for approval a schedule
of values allocating the entire Contract Sum to the various portions of the Work
and prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its
accuracy as the Owner may require. The schedule of values which is approved by
the Owner shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Design-Builder’s
Applications for Payment. The schedule of values shall be updated to reflect any
changes in the Contract Sum.

§ 9.3 Applications for Payment

§ 9.3.1 At least ten days before the date established for each progress payment,
the Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner an itemized Application for Payment
for completed portions of the Work. The application shall be notarized, if
required, and supported by data substantiating the Design-Builder’s right to
payment as the Owner may require, such as copies of requisitions from the
Architect, Consultants, Contractors, and material suppliers, and shall reflect
retainage if provided for in the Design-Build Documents.

§ 9.3.1.1 As provided in Section 6.3.9, Applications for Payment may include
requests for payment on account of changes in the Work that have been properly
authorized by Change Directives, or by interim determinations of the Owner, but
not yet included in Change Orders.

§ 9.3.1.2 Applications for Payment shall not include requests for payment for
portions of the Work for which the Design-Builder does not intend to pay the
Architect, Consultant, Contractor, material supplier, or other persons or
entities providing services or work for the Design-Builder, unless such Work has
been performed by others whom the Design-Builder intends to pay. Each
Application for Payment shall be accompanied by the following, all in form and
substance satisfactory to the Owner: (1) descriptions of (a) the amount of each
applicable subcontract or purchase order or agreement, (b) the amount requested
for the Architect and each Consultant, Contractor, and material and equipment
supplier in the Application for Payment, and (c) the amount to be paid to the
Design-Builder under the Application for Payment; (2) conditional lien waivers
from the Design-Builder, the Architect and all Contractors, Consultants, and
material and equipment suppliers that (i) have a direct contract with the
Design-Builder; and (ii) are for more than $25,000 relating to all Work and
other items for which payment is requested in the Application for Payment;
(3) unconditional lien waivers from the Design-Builder, the Architect and all
Contractors, Consultants, and material and equipment suppliers that (i) have a
direct contract with the Design-Builder; and (ii) are for more than
$25,000establishing payment of all amounts requested for such persons or
entities in the previous Application for Payment; and (4) all information,
documents and materials required to comply with the requirements of the Contract
Documents or reasonably requested by the Owner.

§ 9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents, payments shall
be made for services provided as well as materials and equipment delivered and
suitably stored at the Project site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If
approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials
and equipment suitably stored off the Project site at a location agreed upon in
writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be
conditioned upon compliance by the Design-Builder with procedures satisfactory
to the Owner to establish the Owner’s title to such materials and equipment or
otherwise protect the Owner’s interest, and shall include the costs of
applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials
and equipment stored off the Project site. If any stored materials or equipment,
whether on the Project site or off the Project site are damaged or destroyed
they shall be replaced by the Design-Builder without cost to the Owner.

§ 9.3.3 The Design-Builder warrants that title to all Work, other than
Instruments of Service, covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the
Owner no later than the time of payment. The Design-Builder further warrants
that, upon submittal of an Application for Payment, all Work for which
Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from
the Owner shall be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or
encumbrances in favor of the Design-Builder, Architect, Consultants,
Contractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities entitled to make a
claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to
the Work.

§ 9.4 Certificates for Payment

The Owner shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Design-Builder’s
Application for Payment, issue to the Design-Builder a Certificate for Payment
indicating the amount the Owner determines is properly due, and notify the
Design-Builder in writing of the Owner’s reasons for withholding certification
in whole or in part as provided in Section 9.5.1.

§ 9.5 Decisions to Withhold Certification

§ 9.5.1 The Owner may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part to
the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner due to the Owner’s
determination that the Work has not progressed to the point indicated in the
Design-Builder’s Application for Payment, or the quality of the Work is not in
accordance with the Design-Build Documents or the requirements of
Section 9.3.1.2 have not been fulfilled. If the Owner is unable to certify
payment in the amount of the Application, the Owner will notify the
Design-Builder as provided in Section 9.4. If the Design-Builder and Owner
cannot agree on a revised amount, the Owner will promptly issue a Certificate
for Payment for the amount that the Owner deems to be due and owing. The Owner
may also withhold a Certificate for Payment or, because of subsequently
discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for
Payment previously issued to such extent as may be necessary to protect the
Owner from loss for which the Design-Builder is responsible because of

.1    defective Work, including design and construction, not remedied;

.2    third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing
of such claims unless security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the
Design-Builder;

.3    failure of the Design-Builder to make payments properly to the Architect,
Consultants, Contractors or others, for services, labor, materials or equipment;

.4    reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid
balance of the Contract Sum;

.5    damage to the Owner or a separate contractor;

.6    reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the
Contract Time or by any applicable milestone, and that the unpaid balance would
not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay;

.7    failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Design-Build
Documents ; or

.8    other material breach of the Design-Builder to perform in accordance with
the Design-Build Documents.

§ 9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed,
certification will be made for amounts previously withheld.

§ 9.5.3 If the Owner withholds certification for payment under Section 9.5.1.3,
and the Owner receives a notice of claim or lien form the Architect or any
Consultant, Contractor, subcontractor, material and equipment supplier or other
person or entity providing services or Work for the Project, the Owner shall
notify the Design-Builder in writing. If the Design-Builder fails, within seven
(7) days of receipt of such notice, to pay or protect the Owner from the claim
or lien by bond, cash deposit or other indemnity or security satisfactory to the
Owner, the Owner may, at its sole option, issue joint checks to the
Design-Builder and to the Architect or any Consultants, Contractor,
subcontractor, material or equipment suppliers, or other persons or entities
providing services or work for the Project to whom the Design-Builder or any
other person or entity failed to make payment for Work properly performed or
material or equipment suitably delivered.

§ 9.6 Progress Payments

§ 9.6.1 After the Owner has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall
make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Design-Build
Documents.

§ 9.6.2 The Design-Builder shall pay each Architect, Consultant, Contractor,
material and equipment supplier, and other person or entity providing services
or work for the Design-Builder no later than the time period required by
applicable law, but in no event more than seven days after receipt of payment
from the Owner the amount to which the Architect, Consultant, Contractor,
material and equipment supplier, and other person or entity providing services
or work for the Design-Builder is entitled, reflecting percentages actually
retained from payments to the Design-Builder on account of the portion of the
Work performed by the Architect, Consultant, Contractor, material and equipment
supplier, or other person or entity. The Design-Builder shall, by appropriate
agreement with each

Architect, Consultant, Contractor, and other person or entity providing services
or work for the Design-Builder, require each Architect, Consultant, Contractor,
material and equipment supplier, and other person or entity providing services
or work for the Design-Builder to make payments to subconsultants and
subcontractors in a similar manner.

§ 9.6.3 The Owner will, on request and if practicable, furnish to the Architect,
a Consultant, Contractor, material and equipment supplier, or other person or
entity providing services or work for the Project, information regarding
percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the Design-Builder and
action taken thereon by the Owner on account of portions of the Work done by
such Architect, Consultant, Contractor material and equipment supplier, or other
person or entity providing services or work for the Design-Builder.

§ 9.6.4 The Owner has the right to request written evidence from the
Design-Builder that the Design-Builder has properly paid the Architect,
Consultants, Contractors, material and equipment suppliers, or other person or
entity providing services or work for the Design-Builder, amounts paid by the
Owner to the Design-Builder for the Work. If the Design-Builder fails to furnish
such evidence within seven days, the Owner shall have the right to contact the
Architect, Consultants, Contractors, material and equipment suppliers, and other
applicable persons and entities, to ascertain whether they have been properly
paid. The Owner shall have no obligation to pay or to see to the payment of
money to the Architect, a Consultant, a Contractor, a material and equipment
supplier, or any other person or entity except as may otherwise be required by
statute.

§ 9.6.5 [Intentionally blank]

§ 9.6.6 A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use
or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work
not in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.

§ 9.6.7 Unless the Design-Builder provides the Owner with a payment bond in the
full penal sum of the Contract Sum, payments received by the Design-Builder for
Work properly performed by the Architect, Consultants, Contractors, material and
equipment suppliers, and other persons or entities providing Work for the
Design-Builder, shall be held by the Design-Builder for the Architect and those
Consultants, Contractors, or other person or entity providing services or work
for the Design-Builder, for which payment was made by the Owner. Nothing
contained herein shall require money to be placed in a separate account and not
commingled with money of the Design-Builder, shall create any fiduciary
liability or tort liability on the part of the Design-Builder for breach of
trust or shall entitle any person or entity to an award of punitive damages
against the Design-Builder for breach of the requirements of this provision.

§ 9.7 Failure of Payment

§ 9.7.1 Except as provided in Sections 9.5 and 9.6, if the Owner does not issue
a Certificate for Payment, through no fault of the Design-Builder, within the
time required by the Design-Build Documents, then the Design-Builder may, upon
ten additional days’ written notice to the Owner, stop the Work until payment of
the undisputed amount owing has been received. Any adjustment to Contract Time
or the Contract Sum shall be made by Change Order to compensate the Design
Builder for the reasonable costs of shut down, delay, start up, plus interest as
permitted in Section A.1.5.1.3 of Exhibit A.

§9.7.2 If the Owner is entitled to reimbursement or payment from the
Design-Builder under or pursuant to the Design-Build Documents, such undisputed
reimbursement or payment shall be made promptly upon request by the Owner.
Notwithstanding anything in the Design-Build Documents to the contrary, if the
Design-Builder fails to promptly make any reimbursement or payment due to the
Owner in accordance with the Design-Build Documents, or if the Owner incurs any
costs and expenses to cure any default of the Design-Builder or to correct
defective Work, the Owner shall have the right to offset such amount against the
Contract Sum and may, either (1) deduct an amount equal to that to which the
Owner is entitled from any payment then or thereafter due to the Design-Builder
from the Owner, or (2) issue a written notice to the Design-Builder reducing the
Contract Sum by an amount equal to that to which the Owner is entitled.

§ 9.8 Substantial Completion and Liquidated Damages

§ 9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the
Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with
the Design-Build Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for
its intended use. The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by
the Owner in accordance with this Section 9.8.

§ 9.8.2 When the Design-Builder considers that the Work, or a portion thereof
which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the
Design-Builder shall prepare and submit to the Owner a comprehensive list of
items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. Failure to include an
item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Design-Builder to
complete all Work in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.

§ 9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Design-Builder’s list, the Owner shall make an
inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is
substantially complete. If the Owner’s inspection discloses any item, whether or
not included on the Design-Builder’s list, which is not complete in accordance
with the Design-Build Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work
or designated portion thereof for its intended use, the Design-Builder shall,
before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or
correct such item upon notification by the Owner. In such case, the
Design-Builder shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Owner
to determine Substantial Completion.

§ 9.8.4 Prior to issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion under
Section 9.8.5, the Owner and Design-Builder shall discuss and then determine
their respective obligations to obtain and maintain property insurance following
issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion.

§ 9.8.5 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete,
the Design-Builder will prepare for the Owner’s signature a Certificate of
Substantial Completion, including a list of items to be completed or corrected,
that shall, upon the Owner’s signature, establish the actual date of Substantial
Completion; establish responsibilities of the Owner and Design-Builder for
security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance; and
fix the time within which the Design-Builder shall finish all items on the list
accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Design-Build Documents
shall commence on the actual date of Substantial Completion of the Work or
designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Substantial Completion.

§ 9.8.6 The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted by the
Design-Builder to the Owner for written acceptance of responsibilities assigned
to the Owner in the Certificate. Upon the Owner’s acceptance, and consent of
surety, if any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to the Work
or designated portion thereof. At the Owner’s option, payment shall be adjusted
for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the
Design-Build Documents.

§ 9.8.7 The Owner and the Design-Builder further agree that if the
Design-Builder fails to achieve Substantial Completion on or before the date set
forth in the Design-Build Documents and if Design-Builder is not entitled to an
adjustment of time as provided for in the Design-Build Documents, then the Owner
will suffer damages and that such damages will be difficult to ascertain. The
Owner and the Design-Builder further agree that for each day the Design-Builder
fails to achieve Substantial Completion after the date set forth in the
Design-Build Documents, the Design-Builder shall pay or credit to the Owner, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty Five Thousand Dollars ($5000) commencing
on the date for Substantial Completion set forth in the Design-Build Documents
and ending on the date Substantial Completion in achieved. The Design-Builder
agrees that these fixed liquidated damages are not established as a penalty but
are calculated and agreed upon in advance due to the uncertainty and difficulty
of making a determination as to the actual damages which the Owner would incur
if Design-Builder would fail to achieve Substantial Completion by the date set
forth in the Design-Build Documents. The liquidated damages stated herein shall
be the exclusive measure of those damages sustained by the Owner due to a breach
by Design-Builder of its agreement to achieve Substantial Completion by the date
set forth in the Design-Build Documents.

§ 9.9 Partial Occupancy or Use

§ 9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion
of the Work which the Owner chooses to occupy or use at any stage when such
portion is designated by separate written agreement with the Design-Builder,
provided such occupancy or use is consented to, by endorsement or otherwise, by
the insurer providing property insurance and authorized by public authorities
having jurisdiction over the Project. Such partial

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially
complete, provided the Owner and Design-Builder have accepted in writing the
responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage, if any,
security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and
have agreed in writing concerning the period for correction and completion of
the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Design-Build Documents.
When the Design-Builder considers a portion which the Owner has chosen to occupy
or use in accordance with this Section 9.9.1 substantially complete, the
Design-Builder shall prepare and submit a list to the Owner as provided under
Section 9.8.2. Consent of the Design-Builder to partial occupancy or use shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be
determined by written agreement between the Owner and Design-Builder.

§ 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and
Design-Builder shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the
Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the area or
portion of the Work.

§ 9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, partial occupancy or use of a
portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not
complying with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents.

§ 9.10 Final Completion and Final Payment

§ 9.10.1 Upon receipt of the Design-Builder’s written notice that the Work is
ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final
Application for Payment, the Owner will promptly make such inspection. When the
Owner finds the Work acceptable under the Design-Build Documents and the
Contract fully performed, the Owner will, subject to Section 9.10.2, promptly
issue a final Certificate for Payment.

§ 9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall
become due until the Design-Builder submits to the Owner (1) an affidavit that
payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected
with the Work, for which the Owner or the Owner’s property might be responsible
or encumbered, (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise
satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the
Design-Build Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in
effect, (3) a written statement that the Design-Builder knows of no substantial
reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by
the Design-Build Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment,
(5) as-constructed record copy of the Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs),
Electrical Schematics, and Under-slab piping/utilities drawings,
(6) manufacturer’s warranties, product data, and maintenance and operations
manuals, (7) releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances, arising out of the Contract, from the Design-Builder, the
Architect, and all Consultants, Contractors, subcontractors, material and
equipment suppliers, and other persons and entities providing services or work
for the Project that (i) have a direct contract with the Design-Builder; and
(ii) are for more than $25,000, in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner,
and (8) if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or
satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts. If an Architect, a Consultant, or
a Contractor, subcontractor, material and equipment supplier, or other person or
entity providing services or work for the Project, refuses to furnish a release
or waiver required by the Owner, the Design-Builder may furnish a bond
satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against actual or potential
liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances. If such liens, claims,
security interests, or encumbrances remains unsatisfied after payments are made,
the Design-Builder shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be
compelled to pay in discharging such liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances, including all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

§ 9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof
is materially delayed for more than thirty (30) days through no fault of the
Design Builder or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, the
Owner shall, upon application by the Design Builder, and without terminating the
Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully
completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully completed or
correct is less than the retainage stipulated in the Design Build Documents, and
if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the
balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be
submitted by the Design Builder to the Owner prior to issuance of payment. Such
payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except
that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.

§ 9.10.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the
Owner except those arising from

§ 10.2.7 The Design-Builder shall not permit any part of the construction or
site to be loaded so as to cause damage or create an unsafe condition.

§ 10.2.8 Injury or Damage to Person or Property. If the Owner or Design-Builder
suffers injury or damage to person or property because of an act or omission of
the other, or of others for whose acts such party is legally responsible,
written notice of the injury or damage, whether or not insured, shall be given
to the other party within a reasonable time not exceeding 21 days after
discovery. The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other party
to investigate the matter.

§ 10.3 Hazardous Materials

§ 10.3.1 The Design-Builder is responsible for compliance with any requirements
included in the Design-Build Documents regarding hazardous materials and
substances. If the Design-Builder encounters a hazardous material or substance
not addressed in the Design-Build Documents and if reasonable precautions will
be inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death to persons resulting
from a hazardous material or substance, including but not limited to asbestos or
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), encountered on the Project site by the
Design-Builder, the Design-Builder shall, upon recognizing the condition,
immediately stop Work in the affected area and report the condition to the Owner
in writing. Furthermore, if the Design-Builder unexpectantly encounters at the
Project site any hazardous material or substance, including petroleum, petroleum
products, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, synthetic gas, and any
other material or substance deemed to be hazardous, dangerous, toxic or a
pollutant under any governmental or quasi-governmental laws, rules or
regulations, the Design-Builder shall promptly report the existence thereof to
the Owner in writing. The Design-Builder shall not bring any such materials or
substances to the Project site unless specifically required by the Design-Build
Documents or authorized by the Owner in writing.

§ 10.3.2 Upon receipt of the Design-Builder’s written notice, the Owner shall
obtain the services of a licensed laboratory to verify the presence or absence
of the hazardous material or substance reported by the Design-Builder and, in
the event such hazardous material or substance is found to be present, to cause
it to be rendered harmless. When the hazardous material or substance has been
rendered harmless, Work in the affected area shall resume upon written notice
from the Owner to the Design-Builder. The Contract Time and the Contract Sum and
the Contract Sum shall be adjusted by Change Order. The term “rendered harmless”
shall be interpreted to mean that levels of asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls
or other hazardous materials or substances are less than any applicable exposure
standards set forth in OSHA regulations.

§ 10.3.3. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Design Builder, the Architect, Consultants and Contractors and
employees of any of them, from and against claims, damages, losses and expenses,
including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from
performance of the Work in the affected area, if in fact the material or
substance presents the risk of bodily injury or death as described in
Section 10.3.1 and has not been rendered harmless, provided that such claim,
damage, loss or expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or
death or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work
itself). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall have no indemnification or
hold harmless responsibility to Design Builder for claims, damage, loss or
expense attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death or to injury
to or destruction of tangible property relating to or arising from asbestos
existing at the Project site.

§ 10.3.4 The Owner shall not be responsible under this Section 10.3 for
hazardous materials or substances the Design-Builder brings to the Project site
unless such materials or substances are required by the Owner’s Criteria. The
Owner shall be responsible for hazardous materials or substances required by the
Owner’s Criteria, except to the extent of the Design-Builder’s fault or
negligence in the use and handling of such hazardous materials or substances.
Upon Final Completion, the Design-Builder shall remove all hazardous materials
and substances not incorporated in to the Project from the site of the Project,
properly dispose of such hazardous materials and substances and clean up, remove
and render harmless any contamination of the Project by such hazardous materials
and substances.

§ 10.3.5 The Design-Builder shall indemnify the Owner for the cost and expense
the Owner incurs (1) for remediation of a hazardous material or substance the
Design-Builder brings to the Project site and uses, handles,

transmits, or disposes negligently, or (2) where the Design-Builder fails to
perform its obligations under Section 10.3.1.

§ 10.3.6 If, without negligence on the part of the Design Builder, the Design
Builder is held liable by a government agency for the cost of remediation of a
hazardous material or substance solely by reason of performing Work required by
the Design Build Documents, the Owner shall indemnify the Design Builder for all
costs and expenses thereby incurred.

§ 10.4 Emergencies

In an emergency affecting safety of persons or property, the Design-Builder
shall act, at the Design-Builder’s discretion, to prevent threatened damage,
injury or loss.

ARTICLE 11    UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK

§ 11.1 Uncovering of Work

The Owner may request to examine a portion of the Work that the Design-Builder
has covered to determine if the Work has been performed in accordance with the
Design-Build Documents. If such Work is in accordance with the Design-Build
Documents, the Owner and Design-Builder shall execute a Change Order to adjust
the Contract Time and Contract Sum, as appropriate. If such Work is not in
accordance with the Design-Build Documents, the costs of uncovering and
correcting the Work shall be at the Design-Builder’s expense and the
Design-Builder shall not be entitled to a change in the Contract Time unless the
condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor in which event the
Owner shall be responsible for payment of such costs and the Contract Time will
be adjusted as appropriate.

§ 11.2 Correction of Work

§ 11.2.1 Before or After Substantial Completion. The Design-Builder shall
promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or failing to conform to the
requirements of the Design-Build Documents, whether discovered before or after
Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed.
Costs of correcting such rejected or defective Work, including additional
testing and inspections, the cost of uncovering and replacement, and
compensation for any design consultant employed by the Owner whose expenses and
compensation were made necessary thereby, shall be at the Design-Builder’s
expense.

§ 11.2.2 After Substantial Completion

§ 11.2.2.1 In addition to the Design-Builder’s obligations under Section 3.1.12,
and other remedies the Owner may have under the Design-Build Documents, at law,
or in equity, if, within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of
the Work or designated portion thereof or after the date for commencement of
warranties established under Section 9.9.1, or by terms of an applicable special
warranty required by the Design-Build Documents, any of the Work is found not to
be in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, the
Design-Builder shall correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from
the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Design-Builder a
written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly
after discovery of the condition. During the one-year period for correction of
the Work, if the Owner fails to notify the Design-Builder and give the
Design-Builder an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives the
rights to require correction by the Design-Builder. If the Design-Builder fails
to correct nonconforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after
receipt of notice from the Owner, the Owner may correct it in accordance with
Section 7.9.

§ 11.2.2.2 The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended with
respect to portions of Work first performed after Substantial Completion by the
period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual completion of that
portion of the Work.

§ 11.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by
corrective Work performed by the Design-Builder pursuant to this Section 11.2.

§ 11.2.3 The Design-Builder shall remove from the Project site portions of the
Work that are not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build
Documents and are neither corrected by the Design-Builder nor accepted by the
Owner.

§ 11.2.4 The Design-Builder shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or
damaged construction of the Owner or separate contractors, whether completed or
partially completed, other property of the Owner and utilities and property on
or adjacent to the Project site owned by third parties caused by the
Design-Builder’s correction or removal of Work that is not in accordance with
the requirements of the Design-Build Documents.

§ 11.2.5 Nothing contained in this Section 11.2 shall be construed to establish
a period of limitation with respect to other obligations the Design-Builder has
under the Design-Build Documents. Establishment of the one-year period for
correction of Work as described in Section 11.2.2 relates only to the specific
obligation of the Design-Builder to correct the Work, and has no relationship to
the time within which the obligation to comply with the Design-Build Documents
may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be
commenced to establish the Design-Builder’s liability with respect to the
Design-Builder’s obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

§ 11.3 Acceptance of Nonconforming Work

If the Owner prefers to accept Work that is not in accordance with the
requirements of the Design-Build Documents, the Owner may do so instead of
requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be
reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether
or not final payment has been made.

ARTICLE 12    COPYRIGHTS AND LICENSES

§ 12.1 Drawings, specifications, and other documents furnished by the
Design-Builder, including those in electronic form, are Instruments of Service.
Except as provided for in this Agreement, the Design-Builder, and the Architect,
Consultants, Contractors, and any other person or entity providing services or
work for any of them, shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective
Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications, and shall
retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including
copyrights. Submission or distribution of Instruments of Service to meet
official regulatory requirements, or for similar purposes in connection with the
Project, is not to be construed as publication in derogation of the reserved
rights of the Design-Builder and the Architect, Consultants, and Contractors,
and any other person or entity providing services or work for any of them.

§ 12.2 The Design-Builder and the Owner warrant that in transmitting Instruments
of Service, or any other information, the transmitting party is the copyright
owner of such information or has permission from the copyright owner to transmit
such information for its use on the Project.

§ 12.3 Upon execution of the Agreement, the Design-Builder grants to the Owner a
limited, irrevocable and non-exclusive license to use the Instruments of Service
as they are delivered to the Owner from time to time solely and exclusively for
purposes of constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding to the
Project, to the extent that the Owner substantially performs its obligations,
including payment of undisputed amounts when due, under the Design-Build
Documents. The license granted under this section permits the Owner to authorize
its consultants and separate contractors to reproduce applicable portions of the
Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for use in performing services or
construction for the Project. If the Design Builder rightfully terminates this
Agreement for cause as provided in Sections 13.1.4 or 13.2.1, the license
granted in this 12.3 shall terminate.

§ 12.3.1 The Design-Builder shall obtain non-exclusive licenses from the
Architect, Consultants, and Contractors, that will allow the Design-Builder to
satisfy its obligations to the Owner under this Article 12. The Design-Builder’s
licenses from the Architect and its Consultants and Contractors shall also allow
the Owner, in the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason or in the
event the Design-Builder’s Architect, Consultants, or Contractors terminate
their agreements with the Design-Builder for cause, to have a limited,
irrevocable and non-exclusive license solely and exclusively for purposes of
constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding to the Project, provided
that the Owner agrees to pay to the Architect, Consultant or Contractor all
amounts due.

§ 12.3.2 Upon Owner’s payment to Design-Builder for Instruments of Service
prepared and provided by the Design-Builder, the Architect, the Consultants, the
Contractor, and any other agents of the Design-Builder performing Work on the
Project, the Owner shall become the full and sole owner of those Instruments of
Service, including the Drawings, Specifications and other deliverables provided
by Design-Builder pursuant to this Agreement, and including all common law,
statutory and other reserved rights, including copyrights, associated with such
Instruments of Service. Design-Builder shall include provisions in
Design-Builder’s contracts with the Architect,

In the event the Owner alters the Instruments of Service without the author’s
written authorization , the Owner releases and indemnifies the Design Builder,
Architect, Consultants, Contractors and any other person or entity providing
services or work for any of them from any and all claims and causes of action
arising from or relating to such alterations.

ARTICLE 13    TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION

§ 13.1 Termination or Suspension Prior to Execution of the Design-Build Amendment

§ 13.1.1 If the Owner fails to make payments of undisputed amounts to the
Design-Builder for Work prior to execution of the Design-Build Amendment in
accordance with this Agreement, such failure shall be considered substantial
nonperformance and cause for termination or, at the Design-Builder’s option,
cause for suspension of performance of services under this Agreement. If the
Design-Builder elects to suspend the Work, the Design-Builder shall give seven
days’ written notice to the Owner before suspending the Work. Any adjustment of
the Design-Builder’s compensation, the Contract Time, or the Contract Documents
shall be made by Change Order. In the event of a suspension of the Work, the
Design Builder shall have no liability to the Owner for delay or damage caused
by a suspension of the Work. Before resuming the Work, the Design Builder shall
be paid all sums due prior to the suspension and any reasonable expenses which
Design-Builder substantiates were incurred by Design-Builder in the interruption
and resumption of the Design Builder’s Work. The Design Builder’s compensation
for and time to complete the remaining Work shall be equitably adjusted.

§ 13.1.2 If the Owner suspends the Project, the Design-Builder shall be
compensated for the Work performed prior to notice of such suspension. Any
adjustment of the Design-Builder’s compensation, the Contract Time, or the
Contract Documents shall be made by Change Order. When the Project is resumed
the Design Builder shall be compensated for reasonable expenses which the
Design-Builder substantiates were incurred by Design-Builder in the interruption
and resumption of the Design Builder’s Work. The Design Builder’s compensation
for and time to complete the remaining Work shall be equitably adjusted.

§ 13.1.3 If the Owner suspends the Project for more than 90 cumulative days for
reasons other than the fault of the Design Builder, the Design Builder may
terminate this Agreement by giving not less than seven days’ written notice.

§ 13.1.4 Either the Owner or the Design-Builder may terminate this Agreement
upon not less than seven days’ written notice should the other party fail
substantially to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through
no fault of the party initiating the termination.

§ 13.1.5 The Owner may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days’
written notice to the Design-Builder for the Owner’s convenience and without
cause.

§ 13.1.6 In the event of termination not the fault of the Design-Builder, the
Design-Builder shall be compensated for Work properly performed prior to
termination, together with Reimbursable Expenses then due and any other expenses
directly incurred by the Design-Builder solely as the result of the termination
for which the Design-Builder is not otherwise compensated. In no event shall the
Design-Builder’s compensation under this Section 13.1.6 be greater than the
compensation set forth in Section 2.1.

§ 13.2 Termination or Suspension Following Execution of the Design-Build Amendment

§ 13.2.1 Termination by the Design-Builder

§ 13.2.1.1 The Design-Builder may terminate the Contract if the Work is stopped
for a period of 60 consecutive days through no act or fault of the
Design-Builder, the Architect, a Consultant, or a Contractor, material and
equipment supplier, or their agents or employees, or any other persons or
entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with
the Design-Builder, for any of the following reasons:

.1    Issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having
jurisdiction that requires all Work to be stopped;

.2    An act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency that
requires all Work to be stopped; or

.3    Because the Owner has not issued a Certificate for Payment and has not

stated in the Design-Build Documents.

§ 13.2.1.2 The Design-Builder may terminate the Contract if, through no act or
fault of the Design-Builder, the Architect, a Consultant, a Contractor, a
material or equipment supplier, or their agents or employees or any other
persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect
contract with the Design-Builder, repeated suspensions, delays or interruptions
of the entire Work by the Owner as described in Section 13.2.3 constitute in the
aggregate more than 100 percent of the total number of days scheduled for
completion, or 120 days in any 365-day period, whichever is less.

§ 13.2.1.3 If one of the reasons described in Section 13.2.1.1 or 13.2.1.2
exists, the Design-Builder may, upon seven days’ written notice to the Owner,
terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner payment for Work properly
executed prior to the termination, including reasonable overhead and profit
thereon in accordance with the Design-Build Documents, and the actual costs
directly incurred by the Design-Builder solely by reason of such termination.

§ 13.2.1.4 If the Work is stopped for a period of 60 consecutive days through no
act or fault of the Design-Builder or any other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work under contract with the Design-Builder because the Owner
has materially failed to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Design-Build
Documents with respect to matters important to the progress of the Work, the
Design-Builder may, upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner,
terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner as provided in
Section 13.2.1.3.

§ 13.2.2 Termination by the Owner For Cause

§ 13.2.2.2 When any of the above reasons exist, the Owner may without prejudice
to any other rights or remedies of the Owner and after giving the Design-Builder
and the Design-Builder’s surety, if any, seven days’ written notice, terminate
employment of the Design-Builder and may, subject to any prior rights of the
surety, if any:

.1    Exclude the Design-Builder from the site and take possession of all
materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery thereon
owned by the Design-Builder;

.2    Accept assignment of the Architect, Consultant and Contractor agreements
pursuant to Section 3.1.15; and

.3    Finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the Owner may deem
expedient.

§ 13.2.2.3 When the Owner terminates the Contract for one of the reasons stated
in Section 13.2.2.1, the Design-Builder shall not be entitled to receive further
payment until the Work is finished.

§ 13.2.2.4 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing
the Work and other damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by
the Owner and not expressly waived, such excess shall be paid to the
Design-Builder upon request. If such costs and damages exceed the unpaid
balance, the Design-Builder shall pay

§ 14.1.5 Claims for Additional Cost. If the Design-Builder intends to make a
Claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, written notice as provided herein
shall be given before proceeding to execute the portion of the Work that relates
to the Claim. Prior notice is not required for Claims relating to an emergency
endangering life or property arising under Section 10.4.

§ 14.1.6 Claims for Additional Time

§ 14.1.6.1 If the Design-Builder intends to make a Claim for an increase in the
Contract Time, written notice as provided herein shall be given to the Owner.
The Design-Builder’s Claim shall include an estimate of cost and of probable
effect of delay on progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay, only
one Claim is necessary. No claim for delay shall be allowed unless it increases
the overall critical path duration of the construction schedule in effect at the
time of the delay unless the Design-Builder has used all commercially reasonable
efforts to offset such delay by making appropriate changes to the other parts of
the construction schedule and by using available float.

§ 14.1.6.2 If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for
additional time, such Claim shall be documented by data substantiating that
weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time, could not have been
reasonably anticipated, and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction.

§ 14.1.7 Claims for Consequential Damages.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Design Builder and Owner waive Claims
against each other for consequential damages arising out of or relating to the
Contract. This mutual waiver includes:

.1 damages incurred by the Owner for rental expenses for losses of use, income,
profit, financing, business and reputation and for loss of management or
employee productivity of the services of such persons; and

.2 damages incurred by the Design Builder for principal office expenses
including the compensation of personnel stationed there, for losses of
financing, business and reputation, and for loss of profit except anticipated
profit arising directly from the Work.

This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential
damages due to either party’s termination in accordance with Article
13.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 14.1.7
shall be deemed to waive or preclude Owner’s right to recover an award of
liquidated damages, when applicable, pursuant to Section 9.8.7 of this Agreement
or Owner’s right to recover any losses or damages, including any consequential
damages, that (i) are covered by insurance procured by Design-Builder pursuant
to this Agreement, including losses or damages which would be covered by such
insurance in the absence of the waiver of consequential damages provided for in
this Section 14.1.7; (ii) arise out of or relate to a third party bodily injury
or property damage claim which Design-Builder is obligated to indemnify Owner
and/or other persons or entities for, from, or against pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement; or (iii) Owner incurs from a third party to the extent caused by
intellectual property infringement or the failure of the Design-Builder or
anyone working at the direction of Design-Builder to comply with applicable law.

§ 14.2 Initial Decision

§ 14.2.1 An initial decision shall be required as a condition precedent to
mediation of all Claims between the Owner and Design-Builder initiated in
accordance with Article 14 and prior to the date when final payment is due,
excluding those arising under Sections 10.3 and 10.4 of the Agreement and
Sections B.3.2.9 and B.3.2.10 of Exhibit B to this Agreement, unless 30 days

decision approving the Claim, (4) suggest a compromise or (5) indicate that it
is unable to render an initial decision because the Owner lacks sufficient
information to evaluate the merits of the Claim.

§ 14.2.3 In evaluating Claims, the Owner may, but shall not be obligated to,
consult with or seek information from persons with special knowledge or
expertise who may assist the Owner in rendering a decision. The retention of
such persons shall be at the Owner’s expense.

§ 14.2.4 If the Owner requests the Design-Builder to furnish additional
supporting data, the Design-Builder shall respond, within ten days after receipt
of such request, and shall either (1) provide a response on the requested
supporting data, (2) advise the Owner when the response or supporting data will
be furnished or (3) advise the Owner that no supporting data will be furnished.

§ 14.2.5 The Owner’s initial decision shall (1) be in writing; (2) state the
reasons therefor; and (3) identify any change in the Contract Sum or Contract
Time or both. The initial decision shall be final and binding on the parties but
subject to mediation and, if the parties fail to resolve their dispute through
mediation, to binding dispute resolution.

§ 14.2.6 Either party may file for mediation of an initial decision at any time,
subject to the terms of Section 14.2.6.1.

§ 14.2.6.1 Either party may, within 30 days from the date of an initial
decision, demand in writing that the other party file for mediation within 60
days of the initial decision. If such a demand is made and the party receiving
the demand fails to file for mediation within the time required, then both
parties waive their rights to mediate or pursue binding dispute resolution
proceedings with respect to the initial decision.

§ 14.2.7 [Intentionally blank]

condition precedent to binding dispute resolution.

§ 14.3.2 The Owner and Design-Builder shall endeavor to resolve their Claims by
mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be
administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its
Construction Industry Mediation Procedures then in effect. A request for
mediation shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to the
Contract, and filed with the person or entity administering the mediation. The
request may be made concurrently with the filing of binding dispute resolution
proceedings but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of binding
dispute resolution proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a
period of 60 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by
agreement of the parties or court order.

§ 14.3.3 The parties shall share the mediator’s fee and any filing fees equally.
The mediation shall be held in the place where the Project is located, unless
another location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall
be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction. In no

§ 15.2 Successors and Assigns

§ 15.2.1 The Owner and Design-Builder, respectively, bind themselves, their
partners, successors, assigns and legal representatives to the covenants,
agreements and obligations contained in the Design-Build Documents. Except as
provided in Section 15.2.2, neither party to the Contract shall assign the
Contract as a whole without written consent of the other. If either party
attempts to make such an assignment without such consent, that party shall
nevertheless remain legally responsible for all obligations under the Contract.

§ 15.2.2 Notwithstanding Section 15.2.1, the Owner reserves the right, upon
notice to the Design-Builder, to assign this Agreement to a Kentucky
governmental authority in order to facilitate incentive-related financing for
the Project or to other persons or other entities who are ready and capable of
performing the Owner’s obligations under this Agreement; and notwithstanding
such assignment, Owner shall remain liable to Design Builder for all obligations
under this Agreement, including but not limited to timely payment Design-Builder
shall execute all consents and amendments reasonably required to facilitate such
assignment, so long as the assignment reflects Owner’s continuing payment
obligations under this Agreement. Owner shall not use such assignment as a
defense to any obligation hereunder.

§ 15.2.3 If the Owner requests the Design-Builder, Architect, Consultants, or
Contractors to execute certificates, other than those required by
Section 3.1.10, the Owner shall submit the proposed language of such
certificates for review at least 7 days prior to the requested dates of
execution. If the Owner requests the Design-Builder, Architect, Consultants, or
Contractors to execute consents reasonably required to facilitate assignment to
a lender, the Design-Builder, Architect, Consultants, or Contractors shall
execute all such consents that are consistent with this Agreement, provided the
proposed consent is submitted to them for review at least 7 days prior to
execution. The Design-Builder, Architect, Consultants, and Contractors shall not
be required to execute certificates or consents that would require knowledge,
services or responsibilities beyond the scope of their services.

§ 15.3 Written Notice

Written notice shall be deemed to have been duly served if delivered in person
to the individual, to a member of the firm or entity, or to an officer of the
corporation for which it was intended; or if delivered at, or sent by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by courier service providing
proof of delivery to, the last business address known to the party giving
notice.

§ 15.4 Rights and Remedies

§ 15.4.1 Duties and obligations imposed by the Design-Build Documents, and
rights and remedies available thereunder, shall be in addition to and not a
limitation of duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or
available by law or in equity.

§ 15.4.2 No action or failure to act by the Owner or Design-Builder shall
constitute a waiver of a right or duty afforded them under the Contract, nor
shall such action or failure to act constitute approval of or acquiescence in a
breach thereunder, except as may be specifically agreed in writing.

§ 15.5 Tests and Inspections

§ 15.5.1 Tests, inspections and approvals of portions of the Work shall be made
as required by the Design-Build Documents and by applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances, codes, rules and regulations or lawful orders of public authorities.

tests, inspections and approvals with an independent testing laboratory or
entity acceptable to the Owner, or with the appropriate public authority, and
shall bear all related costs of tests, inspections and approvals. The
Design-Builder shall give the Owner timely notice of when and where tests and
inspections are to be made so that the Owner may be present for such procedures.
The Owner shall bear costs of (1) tests, inspections or approvals that do not
become requirements of laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, or regulations
until after this Agreement is signed, and (2) tests, inspections or approvals
where building codes or applicable laws or regulations prohibit the Owner from
delegating their cost to the Design-Builder.

§ 15.5.2 If the Owner determines that portions of the Work require additional
testing, inspection or approval not included under Section 15.5.1, the Owner
will instruct the Design-Builder to make arrangements for such additional
testing, inspection or approval by an entity acceptable to the Owner, and the
Design-Builder shall give timely notice

to the Owner of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the
Owner may be present for such procedures. Such costs, except as provided in
Section 15.5.3, shall be at the Owner’s expense.

§ 15.5.3 If such procedures for testing, inspection or approval under Sections
15.5.1 and 15.5.2 reveal failure of the portions of the Work to comply with
requirements established by the Design-Build Documents, all costs made necessary
by such failure shall be at the Design-Builder’s expense.

otherwise required by the Design-Build Documents, be secured by the

shall be made promptly to avoid unreasonable delay in the Work.

party receiving such Confidential Information that the transmitting party is
authorized to transmit the Confidential Information. If a party receives
Confidential Information, the receiving party shall keep the Confidential
Information strictly confidential and shall not disclose it to any other person
or entity except as set forth in Section 15.6.1.

§ 15.6.1 A party receiving Confidential Information may disclose the
Confidential Information as required by law or court order, including a subpoena
or other form of compulsory legal process issued by a court or governmental
entity. A party receiving Confidential Information may also disclose the
Confidential Information to its employees, consultants or contractors in order
to perform services or work solely and exclusively for the Project, provided
those employees, consultants and contractors are subject to the restrictions on
the disclosure and use of Confidential Information as set forth in this
Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Design-Builder hereby acknowledges and
consents to Owner’s disclosure of this Agreement and the information herein to
the extent required by applicable law, Securities & Exchange Commission rules
and regulations, or stock exchange rules.

Terms capitalized in the Contract include those that are (1) specifically
defined, (2) the titles of numbered articles or (3) the titles of other
documents published by the American Institute of Architects.

§ 15.8 Interpretation

§ 15.8.1 In the interest of brevity the Design-Build Documents frequently omit
modifying words such as “all” and “any” and articles such as “the” and “an,” but
the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears
in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.

§ 15.8.2 Unless otherwise stated in the Design-Build Documents, words which have
well-known technical or construction industry meanings are used in the
Design-Build Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.

§15.8.3 Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted
in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If, however, any
provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, is prohibited by law or found
invalid under any law, only such provision or portion thereof shall be
ineffective, without in any manner invalidating or affecting the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or valid portions of such provision, which are
hereby deemed severable.

§15.8.4 The provisions of the Design-Build Documents shall not be changed,
amended, waived, or otherwise modified in any respect except by a writing signed
by Owner. No person is authorized on behalf of Owner to orally change, amend,
waive, or otherwise modify the terms of the Contract Documents or any of the
Design-Builder’s duties or obligations under or arising out of the Contract
Documents. Any change, waiver, approval, or consent granted to the
Design-Builder shall be limited to the specific matters stated in the writing
signed by Owner and shall

§ A.1.5.1.1 Based upon Applications for Payment, including all supporting
documentation required by the Design-Build Documents, submitted to the Owner by
the Design-Builder, the Owner shall make progress payments on account of the
Contract Sum to the Design-Builder as provided below and elsewhere in the
Design-Build Documents.

§ A.1.5.1.2 The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one
calendar month ending on the last day of the month. On or before the last day of
the month immediately preceding a month in which the Design-Builder will submit
an Application for Payment, the Owner and the Design-Builder shall meet to
review a preliminary draft of the Application for Payment (the “Pencil Draft”)
prepared by the Design-Builder. The Design-Builder will revise the Pencil Draft
in accordance with any objection or recommendation of the Owner that is
consistent with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents. The revised
Pencil Draft shall be submitted by the Design-Builder as the Application for
Payment in accordance with the Design-Build Documents. If the revised Pencil
Draft does not conform to any objection or recommendation of the Owner to the

from time to time at the principal place of business of the Design-Builder.

« 1 » % « per month »

(Federal, state or local laws may require payment within a certain period of
time.)

§ A.1.5.1.4 With each Application for Payment, the Design-Builder shall submit
all documents required by Section 9.3 of the Agreement, payrolls, petty cash
accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check vouchers attached, and any
other evidence required by the Owner to demonstrate that cash disbursements
already made by the Design-Builder on account of the Cost of the Work equal or
exceed (1) progress payments already received by the Design-Builder, less
(2) that portion of those payments attributable to the Design-Builder’s Fee;
plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the present Application for Payment.

§ A.1.5.1.5 With each Application for Payment, the Design-Builder shall submit
the most recent schedule of values in accordance with the Design-Build
Documents. The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Contract Sum among
the various portions of the Work. Compensation for design services, if any,
shall be shown separately. The Design-Builder’s Fee shall be shown separately.
The schedule of values shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data

submitted in accordance with Sections A.1.5.1.4 or A.1.5.1.5, or other
supporting data; to have made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections; or
to have made examinations to ascertain how or for what purposes the
Design-Builder has used amounts previously paid. Such examinations, audits and
verifications, if required by the Owner, will be performed by the Owner’s
auditors acting in the sole interest of the Owner.

§ A.1.5.1.7 Except with the Owner’s prior approval, the Design-Builder shall not
make advance payments to suppliers for materials or equipment which have not
been delivered and stored at the site.

§ A.1.5.3 [Intentionally blank]

§ A.1.5.4 Progress Payments—Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum 
Price

§ A.1.5.4.1 Applications for Payment where the Contract Sum is based upon the
Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price shall show the
percentage of completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period
covered by the Application for Payment. The percentage of completion shall be
the lesser of (1) the percentage of that portion of the Work which has actually
been completed; or (2) the percentage obtained by dividing (a) the expense that
has actually been incurred by the Design-Builder on account of that portion of
the Work for which the Design-Builder has made or intends to make actual payment
prior to the next Application for Payment by (b) the share of the Guaranteed
Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values.

§ A.1.5.4.2 Subject to other provisions of the Design-Build Documents, the
amount of each progress payment shall be computed as follows:

  .1

Take that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to
completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage of completion of each
portion of the Work by the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to
that portion of the Work in the schedule of values. Pending final determination
of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute shall be
included as provided in Section 6.3.9 of the Agreement.

  .2

Add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to materials
and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work, or if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably
stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing;

  .3

Add the Design-Builder’s Fee, less retainage of « ten » percent ( « 10 » %)
until 50% of the Project is complete and thereafter 5% shall be retained in
accordance with Kentucky law. The Design-Builder’s Fee shall be computed upon
the Cost of the Work at the rate stated in Section A.1.4.2 or, if the
Design-Builder’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Section, shall be an
amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum fee as the Cost of the Work
bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its
completion;

  .4

Subtract retainage of « ten » percent ( « 10 » %) until 50% of the Project is
complete and thereafter 5% shall be retained in accordance with Kentucky law
from that portion of the Work that the Design-Builder self-performs;

  .5

Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner;

  .6

Subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Design-Builder in the
documentation required by Section A.1.5.1.4 to substantiate prior Applications
for Payment, or resulting from errors subsequently discovered by the Owner’s
auditors in such documentation; and

  .7

Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Owner has withheld or nullified a
payment as provided in Section 9.5 of the Agreement.

§ A.1.5.4.3 The Owner and Design-Builder shall agree upon (1) a mutually
acceptable procedure for review and approval of payments to the Architect,
Consultants, and Contractors and (2) the percentage of retainage held on
agreements with the Architect, Consultants, and Contractors; and the
Design-Builder shall execute agreements in accordance with those terms.

§ A.1.5.5 Final Payment

§ A.1.5.5.1 Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the
Contract Sum, shall be made by the Owner to the Design-Builder not later than 30
days after the Design-Builder has fully performed the Contract and the
requirements of Section 9.10 of the Agreement have been satisfied, except for
the Design-Builder’s responsibility to correct non-conforming Work discovered
after final payment or to satisfy other requirements, if any, which extend
beyond final payment.

§ A.1.5.5.2 The Owner’s auditors will review and report in writing on the
Design-Builder’s final accounting within 30 days after the Design-Builder
delivers the final accounting to the Owner. Based upon the Cost of the Work the
Owner’s auditors report to be substantiated by the Design-Builder’s final
accounting, and provided the other conditions of Section 9.10 of the Agreement
have been met, the Owner will, within seven days after receipt of the written
report of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Owner’s auditors, either issue a final Certificate for Payment, or notify the
Design-Builder in writing of the reasons for withholding a certificate as
provided in Section 9.5.1 of the Agreement.
