ARTICLE II




Scope of the Work



     2.01 Construction Manager shall perform all construction management services described in this
Agreement in connection with the construction of the Work. The general scope of the Work, as
initially reflected in the Construction Documents and as set forth in Exhibit “A,” will be
developed into a detailed design and construction program and further refined as the preparation of
the Construction Documents progresses so as to include, and further define, (i) the scope,
parameters and anticipated timing for the Work, and (ii) Owner’s and Construction Manager’s
understanding of the quality of the materials and workmanship required and expected. Construction
Manager represents that (i) it has fully acquainted itself with the general design concept and
scope of the Work, as reflected in the Construction Documents, (ii) it has visited the Project site
and existing buildings, if any, including the location of adjacent structures and utilities, and is
generally familiar with access to the Project site and with the observable condition of any
existing buildings. Owner shall be responsible for obtaining all consents, licenses and easements
required from adjoining property owners.



     2.02 In addition to the services referred to in Section 2.01 hereof, Construction Manager,
shall perform and furnish, or cause to be performed and furnished all labor, materials, plant,
power, light, heat, water, telephone, tools, supplies, equipment, services, transportation,
security and watchman services, scaffolding, permits, (excluding building and site permits which
shall be paid for by Owner) licenses, supervision and shall perform or cause to be performed all of
the general conditions work items set forth in Section 3.10 and described more fully in the
Contract Documents (“General Conditions Work Items”) and shall provide all services, business
administration, management, coordination and supervision, necessary for, or incidental to, the
successful prosecution and Final Completion of the Work in the most expeditious and economical
manner, consistent with best industry accepted standards, strict and complete compliance with codes
and ordinances having jurisdiction over the Work, lawful construction practices and the interests
of Owner relating to quality, timely economical completion of the Work, to the extent made known to
the Construction Manager. The Work shall be performed and executed in a customary and workmanlike
manner by qualified and efficient workers, in conformance with the Contract Documents and best
industry trade practices.



     2.03 Construction Manager agrees to furnish efficient business administration with emphasis on
budget control, construction scheduling, coordination of the Work, supervision and construction
management in an expeditious and economical manner consistent with the interests of Owner and shall
assist Owner in developing and maintaining a climate of understanding and good will with all
governmental and quasi-governmental agencies affected by the Project, the local communities
adjacent to the Project site, and the public at large. Construction Manager shall require all
Trade Contractors (as such term is defined in Section 8.01 hereof) to comply with Construction
Manager’s instructions related to storage of materials and scheduling. Construction Manager shall
generally advise and assist the Owner on all matters concerning the construction of the Project
upon which the Owner requests advice and assistance and also about all matters concerning which
Construction Manager, being familiar with the construction industry, might normally be consulted.
All recommendations to be rendered by Construction Manager shall be in writing when requested,
stating advantages and disadvantages and evaluating alternatives and



 









 




shall be in sufficient detail to enable Owner to analyze such recommendations and make
informed decisions with respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, Construction Manager’s
obligations are more fully described herein.




     2.04 Construction Manager accepts the relationship of trust and confidence established between
it and Owner by this Agreement and covenants to Owner to furnish its best professional skill and
judgment and to cooperate with Owner, Architect and Consultants in furthering the interests of
Owner as made known to Construction Manager. Construction Manager understands that it is the
Owner’s intent to construct the Project at a reasonable cost and in the most expeditious fashion
given budgetary considerations. Accordingly, Construction Manager will devote its best efforts
(consistent with the Project Budget and Schedule) toward (i) maintaining the cost level of the
Project at the lowest possible point consistent with good construction practices, (ii) carrying out
Owner’s intent and direction of the Architect’s and Consultants’ Construction Documents and (iii)
achieving the most rapid and efficient construction and completion of the Project. Construction
Manager will use its best efforts to bring to the Owner’s attention any possibilities for savings
that may present themselves during the course of Construction Manager’s performance under this
Agreement and will confer with Owner periodically in order to determine whether there are any areas
where, by design change or otherwise, costs may be reduced. Construction Manager shall not
knowingly accept for its own account any trade discounts, except to the extent permitted by Article
IX, or contributions, or undertake any activity or employment which would or could create a
conflict of interest or compromise the Construction Manager’s judgment or prevent the Construction
Manager from serving the best interests of the Owner. Construction Manager shall not contract with
(or recommend that the Owner contract with) any firm in which Construction Manager has any
financial or other interest, except upon terms and conditions that are no less beneficial to Owner
than those that would govern if such firm were unaffiliated with Construction Manager. Construction
Manager will identify to Owner in advance any affiliated firm with which Construction Manager may
contract with respect to the Project. If Construction Manager shall become aware of any facts which
are or may be in violation of this Section, Construction Manager shall immediately advise Owner
thereof in writing. It shall be deemed a conflict of interest and a material breach of the terms
of this Contract, for Construction Manager to knowingly employ at the Project, or knowingly
recommend acceptance of bids from Trade Contractors employing, with respect to the Project, any
relatives (including in-laws) of any of the officers or directors, other executives, or any
controlling shareholder of the Construction Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, arrangements
set forth in Exhibit “F” shall be expressly deemed agreed to by Owner in advance. Any breach
hereunder shall entitle the Owner to terminate this Agreement upon fourteen (14) days’ prior
notice.



ARTICLE III




Contract Sum and

Guaranteed Maximum Price



     3.01 As consideration for the full and complete performance of the Work and all of
Construction Manager’s obligations hereunder, Owner shall pay to Construction Manager a sum of
money (“Contract Sum”) equal to the total of



 









 





               (i) a fee (“Construction Manager’s Fee”), which includes all overhead (including home office
personnel and expenses not otherwise reimbursable under Section 3.10 hereof) and profit;



               (ii) General Conditions, as provided in Section 3.03;



               (iii) General Requirements ( (General Conditions — non- management costs), as provided in
Section 3.11;



               (iv) Construction Manager’s Reimbursable Costs as defined in Article IV hereof; and



               (v) Contingency, as provided in Section 3.09.



     3.02 The Construction Manager’s Fee which includes all costs not otherwise identified in this
Agreement and profit shall be one and one half (1.5%) percent (the “Fee”) of the GMP (defined in
Section 3.04), not to exceed Six Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Six ($699,636.00)
Dollars. Construction Manager has agreed to waive a fee for preconstruction services which are
performed prior to the establishment of the GMP and not included in the GMP.



     3.03 The Construction Manager’s General Conditions Costs are more fully defined in Section
3.10 below, and shall not exceed One Million Sixty-Six Thousand ($1,066,000.00) Dollars, subject
however to Section 3.04 regarding line item costs and overruns.



     3.04 The Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) shall be Forty-Six Million Six Hundred Forty-Two
Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Eight ($46,642,398.00) Dollars, as set forth more fully in Exhibit
“E”. Unless adjusted by Change Order pursuant to Article XXII below, in no event shall the
Contract Sum exceed the GMP. The GMP will be made up of line item costs, all of which will total
the contract value. No guarantee exists as to the cost of any individual line item of Work,
including the General Conditions and Reimbursable Costs. Savings on any line item, with the
exception of insurance cost savings, may be transferred to cover possible overruns on any other
line item, including Contingency. Contingency, however, shall not be used to offset overruns on
other line items, except as permitted pursuant to Section 3.09.



     3.05 If Construction Manager completes that Work for less than the GMP, excluding Construction
Manager’s Accelerated Delivery Fee if applicable, then the Owner shall be entitled to receive an
amount equal to eighty (80%) percent of such savings.



     3.06 In the event that the GMP is adjusted by Change Order as defined in Article XXII below,
Construction Manager shall be entitled to a Construction Manager’s fee of one and one half (1.5%)
percent of the Trade Contractor Costs and its actual increased General Conditions Costs, as
evidenced to Owner. In the event of a deductive Change Order, the GMP shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the value of the work that is the subject of such Change Order.



     3.07 Payments on account of the Construction Manager’s Fee and General Conditions, shall be
paid monthly, simultaneously with each progress payment made to Construction Manager under Article
XI hereof. The proportion of the Construction Manager’s Fee and General



 









 




Conditions earned at the date of any Application for Payment (as such term is defined in
Article XI hereof) shall be calculated as defined in Section 3.02 above for the Work completed in
such Application for Payment. The Construction Manager’s Reimbursables (except as provided for in
the Trade Contracts for retention) and General Conditions Costs shall be reimbursed as incurred by
Construction Manager without retention. The Construction Manager’s Fee shall be subject to a
hold-back in an amount equal to ten (10%) percent, until such time the Owner has paid fifty (50%)
percent of the Fee, at which time the hold-back on the remainder of Fee payments by Owner to
Construction Manager shall be zero (0%) percent.




     3.08 Unless otherwise agreed to by Owner and Construction Manager, Owner shall make progress
payments to Construction Manager pursuant to the provisions of Article XI hereof, subject to a
hold-back on the Trade Contract Costs (hereinafter defined) (including payments to Trade
Contractors for the performance of General Conditions Work Items pursuant to Trade Contracts) in an
amount equal to ten (10%) percent of such Trade Contract Costs, until such time when fifty (50%)
percent of such Trade Contract Costs has been paid, at which time the hold-back on the remainder of
the payments for Trade Contract Costs shall be reduced to zero (0%) percent of Trade Contract
Costs.



     3.09 The Guaranteed Maximum Price shall include a Contingency in the amount of One Million Two
Hundred Seventy-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Six ($1,278,336.00) Dollars. The Contingency is
available to cover costs that would increase the Construction Manager’s costs and result from (i)
additional costs incurred as a result of the default by Trade Contractors or items identified by
the Owner after submission of the Guaranteed Maximum Price and accordingly omitted by Construction
Manager in the formulation of the Guaranteed Maximum Price, (ii) correction of defects not due to
the negligence of Construction Manager, (iii) time extensions to the extent not provided for by
this Agreement, (iv) casualty losses and related expenses, not compensated by insurance or
otherwise, and sustained by Construction Manager in connection with the Work; and (v) clash
detection coordination. The Contingency is not intended to cover design errors, Change Order Work,
overtime requested by Owner unless such overtime is caused by Construction Manager’s inability to
perform in accordance with the Progress Schedule as defined in Article VII below, concealed
conditions and Hazardous Materials not brought onto Project site by Construction Manager.
Reimbursement shall not be made for any losses or expenses for which Construction Manager would
have been indemnified or compensated by insurance, but for the failure of Construction Manager to
procure and maintain insurance in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or the failure
of Construction Manager to comply with the requirements of any insurance carriers providing
coverage for the Project, as set forth in Exhibit “C” hereof. The use of the Contingency shall be
reasonably approved in writing on a monthly basis by Owner in accordance with the foregoing. No
sums may be charged to the Contingency except with prior written approval of Owner which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld, to the extent that such funds have been paid or are to be paid
by Construction Manager. No sums may be charged to Contingency for work for which Construction
Manager is entitled to a Change Order hereunder. No sums may be charged to the Contingency for
costs which arise out of Construction Manager’s intentional misconduct, gross negligence or a
material breach of this Agreement. Construction Manager is not entitled to payment of sums which
are otherwise properly chargeable to the Contingency to the extent (i) such sums are successfully
and properly chargeable to a Trade Contractor or other responsible person or entity, (ii)
Construction Manager failed to notify Owner or its insurance carrier, if applicable, of the event
which results in the claim



 









 




to the Contingency resulting in coverage disclaimer or (iii) such sums exceed the available
Contingency set forth in the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

ARTICLE VI




Schedule of the Work and Early Occupancy



     6.01 (a) Construction Manager shall promptly and diligently perform its responsibilities
hereunder such, so that (i) Phase I of the Work (as described more fully in the Phased TCO Plan
annexed hereto as Exhibit “H”) shall be Substantially Completed on or before August 2, 2010 (the
“First Substantial Completion Date”); (ii) Phase II of the Work (as described more fully in the
Phased TCO Plan annexed hereto as Exhibit “H”) shall be Substantially Completed on or before August
16, 2010 (the “Second Substantial Completion Date”); and (iii) Phase III of the Work (as described
more fully in the Phased TCO Plan annexed hereto as Exhibit “H”) shall be Substantially Completed
on or before August 23, 2010 (the “Third Substantial Completion Date”), provided however, that the
Parties agree that such dates are contingent on Construction Manager’s commencing foundation and
structural work at the Project as of December 9, 2009, and receipt of a building permit by no later
than December 18, 2009 . (The First Substantial Completion Date, Second Substantial Completion
Date, and Third Substantial Completion Date shall collectively be referred to as the “Substantial
Completion Dates”).



          (b) Requirements for Substantial Completion.




               (i) Phase I of the Work shall be deemed Substantially Completed (“Substantial Completion”) on
the date when such Work shall be sufficiently completed and all of the following shall have
occurred: (a) Owner may use and occupy the Phase I area (as set forth in Exhibit “H”); (b) only
minor Punch List items (as such term is defined in Section 7.02(bb) hereof), if any, remain
incomplete provided they do not interfere with such use and occupancy; (c) a temporary certificate
of occupancy (“TCO”) shall have been issued by the appropriate local



 









 




governmental authority for the Phase I area, unless such TCO is not issued for reasons outside
Construction Manger’s reasonable control; and (d) Construction Manager has performed all services
and provided all documentation necessary to enable the commencement or continuationof commissioning
and validation activities.




               (ii) Phase II of the Work shall be deemed Substantially Completed on the date when such Work
shall be sufficiently completed and all of the following shall have occurred: (a) Owner may use
and occupy the Phase II area (as set forth in Exhibit “H”); (b) only minor Punch List items, if
any, remain incomplete provided they do not interfere with such use and occupancy; and (c) a
temporary certificate of occupancy (“TCO”) shall have been issued by the appropriate local
governmental authority for the Phase II area, unless such TCO is not issued for reasons outside
Construction Manger’s reasonable control.



               (iii) Phase III of the Work shall be deemed Substantially Completed on the date when such Work
shall be sufficiently completed and all of the following shall have occurred: (a) Owner may use
and occupy the Phase III area (as set forth in Exhibit “H”); and (b) a temporary certificate of
occupancy (“TCO”) shall have been issued by the appropriate local governmental authority for the
Phase III area, unless such TCO is not issued for reasons outside Construction Manger’s reasonable
control.



          (c) All Phases of Work shall be Finally Completed on or before September 22, 2010 (the “Final
Completion Date”), subject to adjustments as hereinafter provided, including Contemplated Delays
(as defined in Section 6.02 hereof). “Final Completion” shall occur on the date when the Work
shall have been finally completed and conveyed to Owner, and Owner shall have received satisfactory
evidence, that:




               (i) all Work, including all items set forth on the Punch Lists, has been fully and
satisfactorily completed in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with the Contract
Documents and in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules, requirements and regulations of
all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Work; provided, however, that if the Work
does not comply with the aforesaid laws, rules, requirements and regulations by reason of the fact
that the Construction Documents do not so comply and Construction Manager had no actual knowledge
of such non-compliance, nothing herein shall be deemed to shift any liability on account of such
non-compliance from Architect to Construction Manager;



               (ii) all final certificates of approval relating to the Work, including a Certificate of
Occupancy (“COO”) of the entire Work and the contemplated uses of the Project, and all necessary
certifications of any entity having jurisdiction over the Work or any successor thereto, shall have
been issued and delivered to the Owner unless the failure to secure said approvals is related to
the design of the Project, unless the inability to secure such certificates is beyond Construction
Manager’s reasonable control; and



               (iii) all required receipts, releases of liens, affidavits, waivers, guarantees, warranties,
bonds, as-built drawings and any other documents required under this Agreement or the Trade
Contractors shall have been issued and delivered to Owner.



 









 





     6.02 Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this Article VI to the contrary
notwithstanding, if and to the extent that there are hindrances to, or delays in, the performance
of the Work by reason of Contemplated Delays (as such term is defined in this Section 6.02) and if
Construction Manager demonstrates that the Work is actually hindered or delayed thereby, any
Substantial Completion Dates or the Final Completion Date, as the case may be, shall be postponed
by the actual number of days attributable to each such demonstrated cause. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Contemplated Delays” (a) shall be deemed to include delays or hindrances caused by (i)
strikes, (ii) fire, (iii) acts of the public enemy, (iv) unavailability of, or inability to obtain,
labor or materials by reason of shortages which affect the supply or availability of labor or
materials, (v) floods, (vi) rebellions, riots, insurrections or sabotage, (vii) labor disputes
provided such disputes are beyond Construction Manager’s control and provided Construction Manager
takes all responsible steps possible to remediate them, (viii) severe weather conditions, or (ix)
any other cause beyond the Construction Manager’s reasonable control, and (b) shall be recognized
only if Construction Manager has used its best efforts to minimize the period of delay or hindrance
by means which include, without limitation, seeking alternate sources of labor or materials or
acceleration of the Work, but such efforts shall not require Construction Manager to incur any
additional costs. If Construction Manager wishes to make a claim for an extension of the
Substantial Completion Dates or the Final Completion Date by reason of a Contemplated Delay,
Construction Manager shall give notice (in accordance with the provisions of Section 29.07 hereof)
to Owner of such claim within fourteen (14) days after knowledge of the occurrence of any
Contemplated Delay, which notice shall set forth in detail the nature of each Contemplated Delay,
the date or dates upon which each cause of delay began (and ended), the number of days of delay
attributable to each such cause, and the action taken, or to be taken, by Construction Manager to
minimize the period of delay if possible. A Contemplated Delay shall not give rise to any claim
for damages or any compensation in the form of an increase in the Contract Sum and Contractor
agrees not to make any such claim, provided however, that if Owner directs Construction Manager to
accelerate the Work and Construction Manager incurs increased costs in connection therewith,
Construction Manager may make a claim for an increase in the Contract Sum in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.



     6.03 In furtherance of the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02 hereof, Construction Manager
shall include in all Trade Contracts, whether for labor or materials or both, a provision entitling
Construction Manager to terminate or cancel such Trade Contract in the event of a breach thereby by
the Trade Contractor or any other occurrence or omission thereunder which would result in a delay
in, or hindrance to, the timely progress of the Work.



     6.04 Construction Manager shall notify Owner promptly if the Work will not be completed within
the time provided for in the Progress Schedule. If Construction Manager so notifies Owner, or if,
in the opinion of Owner reasonably exercised, Construction Manager falls behind in the Progress
Schedule for any reason other than a Contemplated Delay, Construction Manager shall take
appropriate action to improve the progress of the Work and shall, if requested by Owner, submit
operational plans to demonstrate the manner in which the lost time may be regained if possible.
Construction Manager acknowledges that if it fails to complete the Work within the time provided in
the Progress Schedule, together with extensions permitted pursuant to this Agreement, due to its
own fault or the fault of parties for whom Construction Manager is responsible including any Trade
Contractor, the parties agree that it would be difficult, if not impossible to determine actual
damages to Owner. Consequently, the parties agree that:



 









 






     (a) if Construction Manager fails to Substantially Complete Phase I of the Work (as set
forth in Exhibit “H”) on or before the First Substantial Completion Date, due to its own
fault or the fault of parties for whom Construction Manager is responsible, Construction
Manager shall be required to pay to Owner, as and for liquidated damages (and not as a
penalty) incurred by Owner as a result of such late completion, the amount of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000.00) Dollars per day for each day thereof which occurs subsequent to the
First Substantial Completion Date, provided that no liquidated damages will be assessed for
the first five (5) business days following the First Substantial Completion Date specified
in the Project Schedule;




     (b) if Construction Manager fails to Substantially Complete Phase II of the Work (as
set forth in Exhibit “H”) on or before the Second Substantial Completion Date, due to its
own fault or the fault of parties for whom Construction Manager is responsible, Construction
Manager shall be required to pay to Owner, as and for liquidated damages (and not as a
penalty) incurred by Owner as a result of such late completion, the amount of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000.00) Dollars per day for each day thereof which occurs subsequent to the
Second Substantial Completion Date, provided that no liquidated damages will be assessed for
the first ten (10) business days following the Second Substantial Completion Date specified
in the Project Schedule; and




     (c) if Construction Manager fails to Substantially Complete Phase III of the Work (as
set forth in Exhibit “H”) on or before the Third Substantial Completion Date, due to its own
fault or the fault of parties for whom Construction Manager is responsible, Construction
Manager shall be required to pay to Owner, as and for liquidated damages (and not as a
penalty) incurred by Owner as a result of such late completion, the amount of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000.00) Dollars per day for each day thereof which occurs subsequent to the
Third Substantial Completion Date, provided that no liquidated damages will be assessed for
the first ten (10) business days following the Third Substantial Completion Date specified
in the Project Schedule.


The liquidated damage amounts set forth in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.04 are
not cumulative, in that Construction Manager shall never be required to pay to Owner more than Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) per day as and for liquidated damages. The maximum amount of
liquidated damages that may be assessed will be equal to the Construction Manger’s Fee. Any
liquidated damages required to be paid by Construction Manager pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall
(a) be in satisfaction of any actual damages to which Owner would otherwise be entitled as a result
of the occurrence of Construction Manager’s delay and shall be Owner’s sole remedy for any
Construction Manager caused delay, and (b) be paid promptly by Construction Manager on demand of
Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything elsewhere set forth in this Agreement, at Owner’s
option all or any portion of such liquidated damages may be deducted from the amount of any payment
required to be made by Owner to Construction Manager under this Agreement.




     6.05 On or before each of the Substantial Completion Dates, Construction Manager shall clear,
or cause to be cleared, the Project site and the Project of any debris, construction materials,
rubbish, rubble, discarded equipment or spillage caused by Construction Manager or its Trade
Contractors of solid or liquid waste in full compliance with all applicable environmental



 









 




laws, shall remove all tools, construction equipment, machinery and surplus materials, and
shall maintain the Project free of such items (attributable to Construction Manager’s work) until
Final Completion. In addition, on or before each of the Substantial Completion Dates, Construction
Manager shall clean, or cause to be cleaned in broom clean condition the Project, as provided in
the Construction Documents. If the Project or the Project site are injured or damaged by
Construction Manager, in the course of Construction Manager’s cleaning or removal, Construction
Manager, without increase to the Guaranteed Maximum Price, promptly shall repair and restore the
portion thereof so damaged or injured to its condition immediately prior to such damage or injury
in a manner satisfactory to Owner and Architect. If Construction Manager fails to undertake or
cause the undertaking of the aforesaid cleaning, removal and repairs, in such event, the Owner may,
at Owner’s sole option, avail itself of any of the remedies provided in this Agreement and, subject
to giving forty-eight (48) hours’ prior written notice to Construction Manager, Owner may also
perform, or cause to be performed, the aforesaid cleaning, removal and repairs and, in such event,
all additional expenses incurred by Owner in connection therewith, at Owner’s option, shall be
reimbursed to Owner either (a) by Owner not paying Construction Manager monies then due or next
becoming due from Owner to Construction Manager hereunder, or (b) by Construction Manager paying
such amounts to Owner on demand, after rendition of a bill or statement therefor.




     6.06 Prior to Substantial Completion of any Phase of the Work, Owner or Owner’s designees
shall have the right to use or occupy all or any portion of the Project or to install or cause the
installation of furniture, furnishings and equipment therein, provided that such occupancy shall
not materially interfere with Construction Manager’s performance of its obligations hereunder
(including harmonious labor relations) and, provided further, that Owner or Owner’s designees, as
the case may be, shall be liable for any delay, or personal injuries to, or death of, any person
and for property damage, to the extent the same is caused by the acts or omissions of Owner or
Owner’s designees, as the case may be, in connection with their aforesaid use or occupancy of the
Project. Such use or occupancy by Owner or Owner’s designees shall not (a) constitute acceptance
by Owner of any element of the Work or the space, systems, materials or equipment incorporated in
the Project, (b) be construed as a waiver of any right or claim by Owner in connection with any
Work, or (c) affect the obligations of Construction Manager or any Trade Contractor for any Work
which is not in accordance with this Agreement, the respective Trade Contracts or the Contract
Documents. Construction Manager shall continue performance of the Work in a manner which shall not
unreasonably interfere with the aforesaid use, occupancy and operation by Owner or Owner’s
designees. Construction Manager agrees that it shall not unreasonably interfere with, or object
to, such use or occupancy by Owner or Owner’s designees and that it shall cooperate with Owner and
any designated occupants to facilitate such early occupancy.



     6.07 Owner and Owner’s designees shall have the right of access to the entrances, loading
facilities and such other services as Construction Manager shall be using or providing to the
Project. Such right of access shall be subject to the reasonable rules of Construction Manager,
which rules (a) shall be for the sole purpose of coordinating such access and for observing all
safety and precautionary measures, and (b) shall not hinder, prohibit or interfere with such
access. In addition, Owner may require the use and operation of any completed heating, ventilating
or air conditioning equipment at the time that Owner or Owner’s designees occupy or use any portion
of the Project.



 









 





     6.08 On or before January 9, 2010, Owner may elect to offer Construction Manager an
accelerated delivery fee (“Construction Manager’s Accelerated Delivery Fee”) in the amount of One
Million Four Hundred Five Thousand Fifty Eight Dollars ($1,405,058.00), which amount shall be paid
in addition to the GMP if the Construction Manager achieves Substantial Completion of Phase I of
the Work on or before July 2, 2010. The Construction Manager’s Accelerated Delivery Fee shall
cover all increases to the Trade Contractor Costs and the Construction Manager’s Fee.

of the Construction Manager’s personnel and labor referred to in Section 3.10(a) hereof, and (iii)
all General Conditions Work Items, broken down on an itemized, line item basis, and segregated to
reflect those portions of said General Conditions Work Items which are to be performed by
Construction Manager and those portions which are to be performed by Trade Contractors; update
monthly, in consultation with Owner and Architect, and submit to Owner for its approval, such
Construction Budget, and make such adjustments thereto, including adjustments by reason of approved
Change Orders and Emergency Change Orders, to keep Owner currently informed as to the anticipated

drawings from Architect, review Architect’s comments to the shop drawings; and distribute them to
the submitting Trade Contractor and all other affected parties so that the Work may be properly
coordinated and implemented into the Project. Construction Manager shall not be responsible for
design errors and omissions. Construction Manager shall use its best efforts to discover and
resolve any conflicts between shop drawings submitted by Trade Contractors; Construction Manager
acknowledges and agrees that as part of its obligations under this Agreement, Construction Manager
and its Trade Contractors are to prepare and submit shop drawings and other submissions, conduct
coordination meetings and prepare coordination drawings for the purpose of coordinating the work
required of Construction Manager and its Trade Contractors. Owner shall require the attendance of
Architect at coordination meetings, when requested by Construction Manager. This process, in part,
is intended to recognize and resolve design conflicts in advance of fabrication and installation of
the various components of the Work. Construction Manager agrees that it shall expeditiously and
thoroughly prepare and submit shop drawings and conduct and conclude the coordination effort at the
earliest possible time so as to






 









 







facilitate the recognition and resolution of conflicts, including errors in the Construction
Documents, such that any adverse effects on the progress of the Work are avoided to the fullest
extent reasonably possible. Similarly, the proposal of substitutions in accordance with Article
XXI of this Agreement shall be conducted at the earliest possible time. Nothing herein shall
relieve Construction Manager from its own failure to comply with its obligations with respect to
shop drawings, samples and catalog cuts;




          (n) at the Project site, on a current basis:




               (i) maintain, and make available to Owner, Architect and/or Consultants, copies of any records
with respect to Trade Contracts, shop drawings, samples, operating manuals, the Construction
Documents, equipment and any and all other related documents and any revisions to any of the
foregoing which may arise out of, or be related to, this Agreement;



               (ii) maintain and provide, and make available to Owner, Architect and/or Consultants, progress
photos taken on a monthly basis according to a plan, as previously approved by Owner; and



               (iii) upon final completion of the Work, deliver to Owner, in both hard copy and AutoCAD
format, a complete set of marked “as-built drawings”, with respect to mechanical, electrical,
plumbing showing the Work, as actually completed, together with copies of all operating
instructions and maintenance manuals in both hard copy and PDF format (bound and indexed); and



          (o) establish and coordinate with Owner a system for processing, expediting and administering
all Trade Contracts for the purchase of materials, supplies and equipment. Manage the procurement
and delivery of critical materials to the Project site and coordinate the deliveries with the
progress of the Work;




          (p) notify Owner and Architect of the progress of the Work, and advise Owner, in accordance
with the provisions of Article VI hereof, of any delays or serious potential delays which may
affect Substantial Completion of the Work and of Construction Manager’s recommendations regarding
such delays;




          (q) inspect and coordinate the work of all Trade Contractors, enforce the terms of their
respective Trade Contracts and enforce strict discipline and good order among all Trade Contractors
in an effort to see that the Work is performed in accordance with the terms of such Trade
Contracts, the Contract Documents, recognized trade standards and the applicable laws, rules and
regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Work and endeavor to guard
Owner against any delays, increased costs and defects and deficiencies in the Work. In connection
with the foregoing, Construction Manager shall (i) require any Trade Contractor to stop the
performance of any Work which Construction Manager observes is not in compliance with the
requirements of its respective Trade Contract, the Contract Documents, recognized trade standards
or the applicable laws, rules and regulations of any governmental authorities having jurisdiction
over the Work; (ii) reject and require to be corrected, those portions of the Work which
Construction Manager discovers does not conform to the requirements of the applicable Trade






 









 







Contract, the Contract Documents, recognized trade standards or the applicable laws, rules and
regulations of any governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Work; (iii) inspect all
materials, supplies and equipment delivered or installed in connection with, or pursuant to, any
Trade Contract in an effort to determine that the same are in compliance with the requirements of
the applicable Trade Contract, the Contract Documents, recognized trade standards and the laws,
rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Work and reject
and require replacement of all non-conforming materials, supplies and equipment; and (iv) not
employ on the Work any person or Trade Contractor unfit for or unskilled in the assigned task and,
remove such unfit or unskilled employee or such Trade Contractor from the Project site; provided
that the Construction Manager has no responsibility to ensure that the design complies with all
building codes and other governmental requirements.




          (r) arrange for all cutting, fitting or patching that may be required to complete the Work or
to make its several parts fit together properly;




          (s) use best efforts to resolve disputes between Trade Contractors relative to the performance
of their work or the furnishing of materials, supplies or equipment in connection with the Work;




          (t) arrange for the storage of all materials, supplies, systems and equipment provided in
connection with the performance of the Work;




          (u) maintain the Project site in a safe and orderly fashion and provide Project site clean-up
of the Work on a regular basis during the course of construction, and also upon Substantial
Completion of each Phase of the Work and Final Completion, as provided in this Agreement;




          (v) enforce the implementation of necessary safety, health and environmental protection
measures (as required under Section 7.01(g) hereof) during the performance of the Work, which shall
include, without limitation, the erection and maintenance of all reasonable safeguards and the
posting of danger signs and other warnings against hazards, conduct inspections and require that
all Trade Contractors comply with all federal, state and local safety, health, equal opportunity
and environmental protection and other requirements, laws, rules and regulations as well as all
necessary safety, health and environmental protection measures as provided herein applicable to the
Work;




          (w) prepare a schedule of values and Applications for Payment in a form reasonably approved by
Owner and Lender, if any; determine, prior to the submission of each Application for Payment,
whether and to what extent the sums requested herein are due and payable; and certify to the best
of Construction Manager’s knowledge, information and belief the same to Owner and Lender, if any;




          (x) make recommendations with respect to any changes Construction Manager may consider
necessary or desirable in connection with the Work (including, but not limited to, events of force
majeure or Contemplated Delay), it being understood and agreed that, except as otherwise provided
in Section 22.05 and 22.06 hereof, no changes to the Contract Documents may be made in connection
with the Work without the prior written approval of Owner;







 









 








          (y) issue to Trade Contractors (i) all Change Orders approved by Owner, and (ii) all Emergency
Change Orders and Field Orders in the manner and in accordance with the provisions set forth in
Article XXII hereof;




          (z) with respect to portions of the Work to be performed pursuant to a Change Order, an
Emergency Change Order, or a Field Order, on a time and material, unit-cost or other similar basis,
keep and require the keeping of records and computations thereof and maintain accurate cost
accounting records, and provide copies thereof to Owner;




          (aa) review all Trade Contractors’ insurance documents for compliance with the provisions of
their respective Trade Contracts and inform Owner of any deficiencies in said coverage;




          (bb) assist Owner in determining when Substantial Completion of each Phase of the Work has
taken place; subsequent to Substantial Completion of each Phase of the Work, prepare (in
consultation with Architect) lists of incomplete or unsatisfactory Work (“Punch Lists”) and perform
or cause to be performed, and supervise all work necessary to complete the items set forth on the
Punch Lists; provided, however, that the failure to include any element of the Work on such Punch
Lists shall not alter the responsibility of Construction Manager and/or Trade Contractors to
complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents; and subsequent to the completion of
all items set forth on the Punch Lists items and any other unfinished portions of the Work, provide
written notice to Owner, Architect (and if requested by Owner, to Consultants), that the Work has
reached the stage of Final Completion and is ready for final inspection;




          (cc) assist Owner’s maintenance personnel in the initial start up, testing and operation of
the Work and all systems comprising a portion of the same;




          (dd) prior to making final payment under any Trade Contract, (i) prepare a Trade Contract
status summary indicating its financial status, complete with a summary of all approved Change
Orders and payments made to date, and (ii) secure and deliver to Owner all required guarantees,
affidavits, releases of liens, waivers, certificates, consent of any surety to final payment,
as-built drawings, maintenance manuals, operating instructions and other documents required to be
delivered under this Agreement in connection with the Work; and




          (ee) secure and deliver to Owner all governmental consents, approvals, licenses and permits
customarily obtained by a construction manager performing services and functions similar to the
services and functions being performed by Construction Manager hereunder, including, but not
limited to, obtaining a TCO, unless the failure to obtain a TCO is not due to any fault of
Construction Manager, its Trade Contractors or anyone for whose acts they may be liable; it being
expressly understood that the making of final payment by Owner to Construction Manager hereunder
shall be conditional upon the deliverance by Construction Manager of the foregoing to Owner unless
the failure to obtain any of the above is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of
Construction Manager.







 









 








     7.03 Notwithstanding the division of Construction Manager’s work into the Pre-Construction and
Construction Phases as provided in this Article VII, Construction Manager understands and agrees
that the Project may proceed on a “fast-track” basis and that portions of the Work to be performed
by Construction Manager in the Pre-Construction Phase may overlap and be combined with portions of
the Work to be performed in the Construction Phase.



     7.04 (a) Construction Manager and all Trade Contractors shall warrant and represent that all
materials and equipment incorporated in the Work shall be new and that the Work shall be of good
quality, free from improper workmanship and defective materials and in strict conformance with the
Contract Documents, and all applicable laws, rules, requirements and regulations of any
governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. All Work not conforming to these
requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, may be considered
defective; provided, however, that if the Work does not comply with the aforesaid laws, rules,
requirements and regulations by reason of the fact that the Construction Documents do not so comply
and Construction Manager had no knowledge of such non-compliance, nothing herein shall be deemed to
shift any liability on account of such non-compliance from Architect to Construction Manager. This
warranty is not limited by the provisions of Section 7.04(b) hereof;



          (b) Construction Manager and all Trade Contractors shall guarantee all Work or portion thereof
for a period of one (1) year after the earlier of Substantial Completion of all Work or beneficial
or occupancy or any portion thereof or such longer period as prescribed by the Construction
Documents. In the event the Work or any portion thereof is found defective or not in accordance
with the Contract Documents, within such time period, Construction Manager shall require the
appropriate Trade Contractor to correct it promptly after written notice from Owner to do so unless
Owner has previously given written acceptance of such condition. Owner shall give such written
notice promptly after discovery of the same. All warranties/guarantees for longer than one (1)
year shall be assigned to Owner who shall enforce directly without recourse to Construction
Manager;




          (c) nothing contained in subparagraph (b) of this Section 7.04 shall be construed to establish
a period of limitation with respect to any other obligation which Construction Manager might have
under the Contract Documents. The establishment of the time periods noted in subparagraph (b) of
this Section 7.04, relates only to the specific obligation of the Construction Manager to require
the appropriate Trade Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within
which Construction Manager’s or a Trade Contractor’s obligation to comply with the Contract
Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced
to establish Construction Manager’s liability with respect to Construction Manager’s obligations
other than specifically to correct the Work (except as set forth in the last sentence of Section
7.04(b)).




     7.05 If conditions are encountered at the site which are (i) subsurface or otherwise concealed
physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (ii)
unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily
found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character
provided for in the Contract Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the
other party promptly upon knowledge thereof or before conditions are disturbed. The



 









 




Architect will promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause
increase or decrease in the Construction Manager’s cost of, or time required for, performance of
any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the GMP or Contract Time, or both,
as a Change Order.




ARTICLE VIII




Trade Contracts



     8.01 Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Owner, all items of the Work to be performed
and all materials, supplies and equipment to be furnished in connection therewith shall be
performed by Trade Contractors, approved by Owner, pursuant to Trade Contracts awarded by
Construction Manager, which Trade Contracts shall be written on Construction Manager’s trade
contract form (the “Trade Contract Form”). Prior to awarding any Trade Contract, Construction
Manager shall consult with Owner with respect to Trade Contractors qualified to bid the various
portions of the Work, as well as the methods of, and form of, Trade Contract awards. Thereafter,
Construction Manager shall (a) prepare, in consultation with Owner and subject to its approval
(and, if requested by Owner, in consultation with Architect), the invitation for bid and a bidder’s
list, setting forth at least three (3) Trade Contractors for each trade (the “Bid List”), (b)
request bids from the various Trade Contractors on the Bid List, (c) conduct, in cooperation with
Owner, formal pre-bid meetings with bidders of each trade involved in the performance of the Work
for the purpose of explaining the scope of the Work, and (d) open all Trade Contract bids obtained,
and review the same, in the presence of Owner. Also, prior to awarding any Trade Contract,
Construction Manager shall consult with Owner with respect to Construction Manager’s evaluation of
Trade Contract bids and the awarding of Trade Contracts and, subject to the approval of Owner,
shall negotiate the most favorable price and terms to be included in such Trade Contracts.
Thereafter, Construction Manager shall, by letter in a form approved by Owner (the “Trade Contract
Award Letter”), advise Owner of (i) which Trade Contract bids it intends to accept, (ii) the price
of the proposed Trade Contract awards and (iii) any proposed material differences between the
provisions of the Trade Contract Form and the terms of the Trade Contract that Construction Manager
proposes to enter into with said Trade Contractor. For purposes hereof, the term “material
difference” shall be deemed to mean changes to the Trade Contract Form that (i) permit the Trade
Contractor thereunder to observe a lesser standard of care in the performance of its obligations to
Construction Manager under the Trade Contract than Construction Manager is obligated to observe
under the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any other difference which is similar in nature to the
aforesaid or is a difference that may have a cost, liability or other consequence to Owner. Upon
receipt by Owner of Construction Manager’s Trade Contract Award Letter, Owner shall countersign the
Trade Contract Award Letter, setting forth Owner’s acceptance, rejection or other comment regarding
the difference between the proposed Trade Contract and the Trade Contract Form. Construction
Manager, upon receipt of Owner’s Trade Contract Approval Letter, promptly shall make all required
changes in the proposed Trade Contract and award the Trade Contract in question. All Trade
Contracts shall be executed in triplicate by Construction Manager and one fully executed original
shall be promptly delivered to Owner.



 









 





     8.02 Each Trade Contract shall require that all Work performed or materials, supplies or
equipment furnished pursuant thereto shall comply with the Contract Documents, the building permit
and the trade standards, laws, rules, regulations and requirements of all governmental authorities
having jurisdiction over the Work. It is expressly understood and agreed that no portion of the
Work shall be performed, and no materials or equipment required on account of the Work shall be
furnished, by any Trade Contractor unless and until a Trade Contract for the same is entered into
between Construction Manager and the Trade Contractor in question in accordance with the provisions
of Section 8.01 hereof and a copy thereof is delivered to Owner, unless Owner expressly waives, in
each instance, the requirement that the same be delivered as aforesaid. The Trade Contractors are
not required to ensure that the design complies with the applicable building codes or with any
other governmental requirements.



     8.03 Each Trade Contract will require the Trade Contractor to agree to the following terms:



               (i) provisions for a hold-back of ten (10%) percent until such time when fifty (50%) percent
of such Trade Contractor’s Costs has been paid, at which time the hold-back on the remainder of the
payments to the Trade Contractor shall be reduced to zero (0%) percent of the Trade Contractor’s
Costs until the Work is finally complete;



               (ii) an obligation on the part of the Trade Contractor promptly to repair, at no additional
cost to Owner, any latent defects and to replace any defective materials, supplies or equipment,
provided that notice thereof is given within one (1) year (or such shorter or longer period as may
be contained in the Trade Contract in question approved by Owner) after Substantial Completion of
all Work, or should this Agreement and the applicable Trade Contract be sooner terminated by
Construction Manager or Owner, within one (1) year (or such shorter or longer period as may be
contained in the Trade Contract in question) after the date of such termination, to the extent that
the same were incorporated in the Work prior to the date of such termination; and



               (iii) a provision that if this Agreement is terminated by Owner pursuant to Article XIV hereof
for cause, the Trade Contract, at the option of Owner, shall be assigned by Construction Manager to
Owner, Lender, if any, or such entity or entities as Owner may direct and, in such event, the
assignee shall assume all of Construction Manager’s liabilities thereunder arising from and after
the date of such assignment; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
release Construction Manager from liability to such Trade Contractor or to Owner, Lender, if any,
or such other entity or entities with respect to claims arising prior to the date of such
termination; the Owner shall be responsible for payment to subcontractors for all work performed
before or after the date of assignment for which the Owner has not previously made payment to
Construction Manager.



ARTICLE IX




Discounts, Rebates and Refunds



     With submission of Construction Manager’s monthly Application for Payment, Construction
Manager is obligated to inform Owner of any cash discounts which are anticipated in the upcoming
pay period. All cash discounts shall accrue to Owner provided Owner makes



 









 




payment to Construction Manager within the period necessary to secure such discounts.
Construction Manager promptly shall inform Owner of the availability of all cash discounts so as to
afford Owner the opportunity to obtain the same. All trade discounts, rebates, refunds and
gratuities, if any, and all returns from the sale of surplus materials and equipment shall accrue
to Owner and Construction Manager shall take such steps as are necessary to insure that Owner
receives all of the foregoing.




ARTICLE X




Accounting Records



     Construction Manager shall monitor delivery to the Project site of all materials, equipment
and supplies used in connection with the Work or incorporated in the Project, shall check all labor
performing Work and shall keep full and detailed accounting records and procedures in an effort to
provide the proper financial management of the Work. Owner and Owner’s representatives shall have
access to, and shall have the right to audit, upon reasonable notice by Owner and for a period of
two (2) years after Substantial Completion, all of Construction Manager’s records, books,
correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, vouchers, memoranda and similar data relating to
the performance of the Work and the construction of the Project and Construction Manager shall (i)
preserve all such records for a period of six (6) years after Substantial Completion of all Work,
and (ii) if requested by Owner, no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such six (6)
year period, deliver to Owner, at Owner’s cost copies of all or any portion of such records.



ARTICLE XI




Applications for Payment



     11.01 Owner shall make progress payments to Construction Manager at monthly intervals for
reimbursement of the costs incurred by Construction Manager during the Construction Phase in the
performance of the Work and in payment of Construction Manager’s Fee Reimbursable Expenses and
General Conditions in accordance with the following procedures, which procedures may be amended at
the request of the Lender, if any:



          (a) During the performance of the Work, Construction Manager and Owner shall meet at the
Project site on or before the first (1st) day of each month for the purpose of reviewing
Construction Manager’s performance and completion of certain items of the Work and to review a
draft of the Construction Manager’s Application for partial payment. Based upon Owner’s review of
such draft of Construction Manager’s Application for partial payment, on or before the fifth (5th)
day of the calendar month following commencement of the Work and on or before the fifth (5th) day
of each calendar month thereafter, Construction Manager shall submit to Owner and Lender, if any,
for review and certification, an application for partial payment (the “Application for Payment”),
in form satisfactory to Owner and Lender, if any, setting forth in complete detail (i) the portion
of Reimbursable Costs incurred by Construction Manager in connection with the Work during the
immediately preceding thirty (30) day period for which Construction Manager is to be reimbursed as
provided in Article IV hereof, and (ii) the amount of Construction Manager’s Fee and General
Conditions attributable to such Reimbursable Costs payable that month. To the extent allowed by
Owner under Article XX hereof, any materials





 











 





which are stored but have not been incorporated into the Project shall be listed separately on
each Application for Payment. Owner shall have the right to require that any or all Applications
for Payment be accompanied by such documents (including written releases of lien from Construction
Manager and/or Trade Contractors) as Owner and Lender, if any, may require to evidence that title
to the equipment or materials incorporated, in the Project, or pre-purchased as provided in Article
XX hereof, is unencumbered;




          (b) Each Application for Payment shall constitute a representation by Construction Manager
that to the best of Construction Manager’s knowledge, information and belief: (i) the partial
payment then requested to be disbursed has been incurred by Construction Manager on account of the
Work or is justly due to Trade Contractors on account thereof, (ii) the materials, supplies and
equipment for which such Application for Payment is being submitted have been installed or
incorporated in the Project, or have been stored at the Project site or at such off-Project site
storage locations as shall have been allowed by Owner hereunder; (iii) the materials, supplies and
equipment are not subject to any liens or encumbrances, (iv) no mechanic’s, laborer’s, vendors,
materialman’s or other liens have been filed in connection with the Project or any of the
materials, supplies or equipment incorporated therein or purchased in connection thereto, or if
such lien has been filed and served upon Construction Manager a statement to that effect and (v)
the Work which is the subject of such Application for Payment has been performed in accordance with
the Contract Documents. Construction Manager shall carefully examine all payment breakdowns and
applications for payment submitted by Trade Contractors in an effort to eliminate “front-end
loading”; shall report any attempts to so “front-end load” in writing to Owner; and shall under no
circumstances, except with the specific prior written approval of Owner, request or allow payments
to be made to any Trade Contractor which are “front-end loaded” and which do not accurately reflect
the true value of the work performed or the materials, supplies or equipment actually furnished;




          (c) On the earlier of fifteen (15) days following Owner’s approval of Construction Manager’s
Application for Payment thereof, or the thirtieth (30th) day after Owner’s receipt thereof, Owner
shall pay to Construction Manager an amount equal to the amount approved by Owner and if
applicable, by Lender, less a hold-back set forth in Section 8.03(i) hereof, of the Trade Contract
Costs (including payments to Trade Contractors for the performance of General Conditions Work Items
pursuant to Trade Contracts) with input by Architect, the Construction Manager’s General Conditions
without any hold-back or retention, and the Construction Manager’s Fee less a hold-back set forth
in Section 3.07 hereof. (With approval from Owner, Construction Manager may release Trade
Contractor retention on a trade-by-trade basis upon final completion of a given Trade’s work.)
Construction Manager shall process and make payments for all obligations to Trade Contractors which
are covered by the Application for Payment so paid by Owner within seven working (7) days of
receipt of payment from Owner. This provision is strictly for the benefit of Owner in order that
satisfactory morale and relations with Trade Contractors be maintained and shall not under any
circumstances confer any right upon any third party. This provision shall be waivable by Owner, in
writing, in its absolute discretion;




          (d) Within thirty (30) days following Substantial Completion of all Work and submission of an
Application for Payment therefor by Construction Manager, Owner shall pay to Construction Manager
an amount equal to the balance remaining unpaid, less a hold-back of five (5%), to Construction
Manager on account of Reimbursable Costs, together with the amount of the




 









 




Construction Manager’s Fee and General Conditions due and payable, after deducting from monies
otherwise due to Trade Contractors therefrom that amount of any hold-back in connection with any
Trade Contract (including Trade Contracts for the performance of General Conditions Work Items) as
Owner shall be entitled to hold back pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.03(i) hereof (or, at
Owner’s election, such lesser amount with respect to any Trade Contract as Owner may determine,
necessary to complete Punch List items and replace defective work). Said Application for Payment
shall also be accompanied (i) by written releases, executed by each Trade Contractor receiving
final payment under their respective Trade Contracts, waiving their right to file any mechanic’s,
vendors, laborer’s, materialman’s or other liens against the Project, and (ii) by such other
certificates, as-built drawings, maintenance manuals, operating instructions, permits and other
documents or instruments required to be delivered to Owner at Final Completion of the Work under
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that if, at
any time after any of the hold-back with respect to a particular Trade Contract is released, any
lien or claim is filed against the Project which relates to work performed or materials, supplies
or equipment furnished by such Trade Contractor or its sub-Trade Contractors, Owner, at its option
and provided Construction Manager does not bond or otherwise discharge such lien as required by
Article XIII, shall be entitled either (x) to hold back from the sums then due or next becoming due
to said Construction Manager an amount equal to all costs and expenses to be incurred in causing
such lien or claim to be discharged of record, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, or (y) to require that Construction Manager immediately discharge the same of
record, at its sole cost and expense, except as provided in Article XIII, by payment, bonding or
otherwise, or (z) to require that Construction Manager pay to Owner, on demand, the amount
necessary to cause such lien or claim to be discharged of record, together with all costs and
expenses incurred by Owner in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees
and disbursements;




          (e) Within forty-five (45) days following Final Completion of the Work, and upon submission of
a final Application for Payment therefor by Construction Manager (accompanied by all as-built
drawings, certificates, releases of lien and other documents and instruments not theretofore
delivered to Owner as required under Sections 6.01 and 7.02, hereof) Owner shall pay to
Construction Manager an amount equal to the aggregate of the balance remaining unpaid to
Construction Manager on account of Reimbursable Costs and the Construction Manager’s Fee (including
retention withheld) and General Conditions Costs, the balance of any amounts held back under each
Trade Contract, and if applicable, Construction Manager’s Accelerated Delivery Fee as set forth in
Section 6.08. The acceptance by Construction Manager of final payment following Final Completion
of the Work shall constitute a waiver of all those claims of which Construction Manager had
knowledge unless the same is set forth in writing and identified by Construction Manager in the
final Application for Payment as unsettled at the time of Final Completion; any claim so identified
in the final Application for Payment shall survive only for a period of six (6) years, as set forth
in Article XXVIII hereof; and







 









 








          (f) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Owner, in its
judgment reasonably exercised, may withhold from any payment due or to become due to Construction
Manager any amount which Owner, in its good faith opinion, deems sufficient to reimburse Owner for
its expenditures for the account of Construction Manager and to secure Owner’s remedies in
consequence of any default or breach by Construction Manager under this Agreement.




     11.02 No payment by Owner (other than Final Payment) of any Application for Payment shall
constitute acceptance by Owner of Work completed or material stored, and no such payment shall be
construed as a waiver of any right or claim by Owner in connection with such Work or stored
material.



ARTICLE XII




Assignment



     12.01 Construction Manager shall not assign this Agreement or the performance of all or any of
its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent may be given or
withheld in Owner’s sole and exclusive discretion. The provisions of this Section 12.01 may not be
waived or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by Owner.



     12.02 This Agreement shall be freely assignable by Owner without the consent of Construction
Manager to Lender, if any, or if applicable, to any person or entity designated by Lender
(hereafter referred to as a “Permitted Assignee”), provided (i) such Permitted Assignee agrees to
assume Owner’s obligations and liabilities hereunder; (ii) Owner has paid all sums properly due to
Construction Manager prior to the date of assignment; and (iii) the Permitted Assignee has provided
Construction Manager with satisfactory evidence of financing for the balance of the work. In all
other cases, Owner’s assignment of this Agreement is subject to the prior approval of Construction
Manager, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Owner shall assign this
Agreement as aforesaid, Construction Manager agrees that it shall deal with such Permitted Assignee
or other approved assignee in the place and stead of Owner and that it shall perform all of its
obligations under this Agreement and perform and complete the Work in the manner required by this
Agreement if Owner is not in default or if Permitted Assignee or other approved assignee cures the
existing default. In such event, such Permitted Assignee or other approved assignee may, among
other things, use the Contract Documents without payment of any additional fees or charges and may
enforce the obligations of Construction Manager hereunder with the same force and effect as if
Permitted Assignee or other approved assignee assumes the obligations and liabilities of Owner.
Upon such assignment and assumption by the Permitted Assignee or approved assignee, Owner shall be
released from all of its payment and other obligations and liabilities hereunder. Construction
Manager shall certify, in the form reasonably required by any such Permitted Assignee or other
approved assignee, that the undertakings contained herein as to the obligations in favor of such
Permitted Assignee or other approved assignee shall run in favor of such Permitted Assignee or
other approved assignee.



 









 





ARTICLE XIII




Liens and Claims



     13.01 If, at any time, there is any lien or claim of any kind whatsoever filed against the
Project by a Trade Contractor or anyone claiming under or through Construction Manager for work
performed or materials, supplies or equipment furnished in connection with the Work for which Owner
shall have paid or reimbursed Construction Manager, and Construction Manager shall not have
reimbursed such Trade Contractor or other person or entity, then, Construction Manager shall,
within fourteen (14) days after notice from Owner, cause such lien or encumbrance to be canceled
and discharged of record by bonding or otherwise as a General Conditions expense as provided in
Section 3.01.



     13.02 If, at any time, there is any lien or claim of any kind whatsoever filed against the
Project by a Trade Contractor or anyone claiming under or through Construction Manager or a Trade
Contractor for work performed or materials, supplies or equipment furnished in connection with the
Work for which Owner shall not have paid or reimbursed Construction Manager by reason of Owner’s
proper exercise of its right to withhold payment to Construction Manager under the applicable
provisions of this Agreement, then, Construction Manager shall, within fourteen (14) days after
notice from Owner, cause such lien or encumbrance to be cancelled and discharged of record by
bonding or otherwise, at Owner’s sole cost and expense.



     13.03 If any lien required to be removed pursuant to Sections 13.01 hereof is not cancelled
and discharged of record as aforesaid, Owner shall have the right to take such action as Owner
shall deem appropriate (which shall include the right to cause such lien to be cancelled and

due or thereafter becoming due from Owner to Construction Manager in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement.



     13.04 All of the above actions shall be conducted in accordance with lien laws in the State

Events of Default and

Termination or Suspension of Agreement



     14.01 (a) Any of the following events shall constitute an event of default (“Event of
Default”):



               (i) Construction Manager shall default in observing and performing any of its material
obligations under this Agreement and such default shall not have been cured within fourteen (14)
days after Owner shall have given Construction Manager written notice



 









 




thereof (or if not curable within fourteen (14) days, provided Construction Manager has in
good faith commenced to cure); or




               (ii) Construction Manager becomes a party to any insolvency proceeding in a capacity as a
debtor, and, in the case of any involuntary proceeding only, such proceeding is not stayed or
discharged within thirty (30) days after the commencement of same; the terms “insolvency
proceeding” as used herein shall include the filing of a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of
Title 11 of the United States Code by Construction Manager of any petition or action looking to, or
seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or
similar relief under any other present or future federal or state statute, law or regulation, or
the appointment, with or without the consent of Construction Manager, of any trustee, custodian,
receiver or liquidator of Construction Manager or of any of its property or assets or Construction
Manager’s making an assignment for the benefit of creditors; then, to the extent permitted by law,
Owner may serve written notice upon Construction Manager terminating this Agreement on date
specified by Owner in said notice;



          (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Owner’s option, exercised by written notice
to Construction Manager, title to any or all materials, Work in process, dies and tools (whether on
the Project site or located at an off-Project site location) which are necessary for, or useful in
connection with, the Final Completion of the Work, as determined by Owner, shall vest in Owner and
Owner may take possession of and utilize the same for Final Completion of the Work. Construction
Manager shall be entitled to payment, after Final Completion of the Work, in an amount equal to (i)
the aggregate of (x) the actual unpaid costs incurred by Construction Manager in its proper
performance of the Work up to the date of termination, plus the portion of the Construction
Manager’s Fee and General Conditions attributable thereto (including that portion of such costs and
the Construction Manager’s Fee and General Conditions theretofore held back which Construction
Manager shall be entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), and (y) the
fair market value of such tools and dies (less, if Owner elects to return the tools and dies to
Construction Manager, the salvage value thereof), less (ii) an amount equal to the additional costs
and expenses (including attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred by Owner in excess of those
which would have been incurred by it in connection with the Project had Construction Manager not
defaulted hereunder, including, without limitation, the additional expense of engaging another
construction manager/general contractor as well as additional compensation for Architect’s and any
Consultant’s additional services made necessary by such default (including reasonable legal fees
incurred). Owner shall have the right to set-off against the aforesaid payment any amounts then
due and payable by Construction Manager to Owner hereunder or which may accrue as damages owing by
Construction Manager to Owner under the terms of this Agreement;




          (c) Upon the happening of any of the events set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 14.01,
Owner shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies, to complete or cause the
Work to be completed, by such means, and in such manner, by contract or otherwise, as Owner
reasonably deems advisable;




          (d) Upon the happening of any of the events set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 14.01,
Construction Manager shall not interfere, directly or indirectly, with Owner’s right and attempt to
complete the Work by others or any of the Trade Contractors; and







 









 








          (e) Upon the happening of any of the events set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 14.01,
Construction Manager shall, at Owner’s option, assign to Owner, Lender, if any, or such other
entity or entities as Owner may direct, in the manner, at the times, and to the extent directed by
Owner, all of the right, title and interest of Construction Manager under any or all Trade
Contracts entered into by Construction Manager in connection with the Work, in which case, Owner,
Lender, if any, or such other entity or entities, as the case may be, shall assume all of
Construction Manager’s obligations arising under such Trade Contracts. Construction Manager shall
include in each and every Trade contract a provision specifically contemplating and validating any
such assignment and the Trade Contractor agreement to continue to perform its services under the
Trade Contract without interruption.




     14.02 (a) Owner, at any time, and for any reason whatsoever in Owner’s sole discretion, may
terminate this Agreement for its own convenience. Any such termination shall be effected by
delivering to Construction Manager a notice of termination specifying the date upon which such
termination shall become effective (which date shall be at least seven (7) days prior to the
effective date of such termination) and any specific portion of the Work to be completed by
Construction Manager prior to such termination. Upon receipt of any such notice of termination,
Construction Manager shall:



               (i) stop all Work under this Agreement on the date, and to the extent, specified in the notice
of termination;



               (ii) enter into no further Trade Contracts except as may be necessary for completion of such
portion of the Work under this Agreement, if any, which is not terminated;



               (iii) unless directed otherwise by Owner, terminate all Trade Contracts entered into by
Construction Manager to the extent that they relate to portions of the Work to be performed
subsequent to the date specified in the notice of termination as the date upon which such
termination shall become effective;



               (iv) to the extent required by Owner and subject to the prior written approval of Owner,
settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of Trade
Contracts, which approval by Owner shall be final for all the purposes of this Section 14.02;
provided, however, that in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 14.02, no Trade Contractor shall be entitled to recover anticipated profits on
account of Work unperformed, nor for reimbursement for losses arising out of matters covered by
insurance, but shall be limited to recovering only the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by such Trade Contractor for Work satisfactorily performed or materials,
supplies and equipment procured, ordered, fabricated, incorporated or installed in the Project
(plus overhead and profit) prior to the effective date of such termination along with reasonable
and verifiable demobilization and closeout expenses;



               (v) if applicable, transfer title to Owner, to the extent not already vested in Owner, and
deliver in the manner, at the times, and to the extent, if any, directed by Owner (x) fabricated or
unfabricated parts, Work in progress, completed Work, supplies and other materials and equipment
produced as a part of, or acquired in connection with the performance of, the Work terminated by
such notice of termination, and (y) copies of the Contract Documents and



 









 




other drawings, sketches, specifications, shop drawings, information and other relevant
documentation directly related to the performance of the Work;




               (vi) use its best efforts to sell, in the manner, at the times, to the extent, and at the
price or prices directed or authorized by Owner, any property of the types referred to in clause
(v) of this Section 14.02(a); provided, however, that Construction Manager (x) shall not be
required to extend credit to any purchaser, and (y) may acquire any such property under the
conditions prescribed and at a price or prices approved by Owner; and provided, further, that the
proceeds of any such transfer or disposition shall be applied in reduction of any payments to be
made by Owner to Construction Manager under this Agreement or shall otherwise be credited to
Reimbursable Costs or paid in such other manner as Owner may direct;



               (vii) complete Performance of such part of the Work as shall have been specified in the notice
of termination to be completed on or before the effective date of such termination; and



               (viii) prior to the effective date of such termination, take such actions as may be necessary,
or as Owner may reasonably direct, for the protection and preservation of the property related to
the Work and the Project which is in the possession of Construction Manager and in which Owner has
or may acquire an interest;



          (b) In the event of a termination of this Agreement, pursuant to this Section 14.02,
Construction Manager shall be paid by Owner for (i) the actual unpaid Reimbursable Costs and
General Conditions Costs incurred by Construction Manager in connection with its performance of the
Work up to the date of such termination and any reasonable demobilization costs, including costs
(and legal expense) associated with closing out of executed contracts and purchase orders, plus the
balance of the Construction Manager’s Fee and the portion of General Conditions attributable
thereto, (ii) any sums properly deductible by Owner under the terms of this Agreement.
Construction Manager agrees that the pendency or existence of any dispute between Construction
Manager and Owner, Architect or Consultants shall in no manner whatsoever affect or interfere with
the discharge of Construction Manager’s obligations hereunder and that should Construction Manager
fail to perform its obligations under this Section 14.02 Construction Manager shall be liable to
Owner for any and all damages which Owner may sustain as a result of such failure on the part of
Construction Manager to perform said obligations.




     14.03 Owner may, at any time and for any reason, direct Construction Manager to suspend,
re-sequence, stop or interrupt the Work or any portion thereof for a period of time including
governmental suspensions under 14.04(b). Such direction shall be in writing and shall specify the
period during which the Work is to be stopped. Construction Manager shall resume the Work upon the
date specified in such direction or upon such other date as Owner may thereafter specify in
writing. Construction Manager shall be entitled to recover as a Change Order the actual additional
costs incurred, plus an equitable time extension.



     14.04 If, without good cause, Owner shall fail for a period of fourteen (14) days after the
due date to make payment on any approved Application for Payment, or if the Work should be stopped
(a) for a period in excess of ninety (90) days at Owner’s request, or (b) for a period in excess of
one hundred-twenty (120) days under an order of any court or other public authority



 









 




having jurisdiction over the Work or the Project or as a result of an act of government, such
as a declaration of national emergency making materials unavailable through no act or fault of
Construction Manager then Construction Manager immediately shall serve Owner with notice thereof,
and, if Owner shall fail (i) to make such payment, as the case may be, or (ii) to rescind Owner’s
order suspending the Work to which reference is made in subsection (a) of this Section 14.04 within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, or if the delay described in subsection (b) of this
Section 14.04 shall be continuing beyond ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, then this
Agreement may be terminated by Construction Manager by written notice to Owner setting forth the
date of termination, which date shall not be sooner than fourteen (14) days after the date of the
notice. If, within said fourteen (14) day period, the matter giving rise to Construction Manager’s
right to terminate this Agreement shall not have been cured or discontinued, this Agreement shall
be deemed terminated for convenience and Construction Manager shall be compensated in the manner
and to the extent set forth in Section 14.02 hereof.




     14.05 If, without good cause, Owner shall fail after the due date to make payment on any
approved Application for Payment, then Construction Manager immediately shall serve Owner with
notice thereof, and, if Owner shall fail to cause such Application for Payment to be issued or to
make such payment, as the case may be, within fourteen (14) days after receipt of such notice, then
Construction Manager may suspend its Work by written notice to Owner setting forth the date of such
suspension, which date shall not be sooner than fourteen (14) days after the date of the notice.
Upon resumption of the Work, Construction Manager shall be entitled to recover as a Change Order
the actual additional costs incurred as a result of the suspension, plus an equitable time
extension.

related to Construction Manager’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, including,
without limitation, attorney and consultant fees, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs,
and litigation expenses. For purposes of this Section, “Hazardous” includes, without limitation,
any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous
or toxic substances, or related materials defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601, et seq.), the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Action of 1986 (Pub.L. No. 99-499, 100 stat. 1613 (1986),
the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Sections 1801, et seq), and in
the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant thereto, or any other federal, state
or local environmental law, ordinance, rule, or regulation. The provisions of this Section shall
be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities Construction Manager may have to
the Owner at common law, and shall survive Final Completion of the Work.




     19.02 Construction Manager shall not be required to perform any Work in an area affected by
suspected or confirmed Hazardous Materials. Such Work shall be resumed as Owner and Construction
Manager agree in writing, and only if (i) Owner causes remedial Work to be performed which results
in the absence of Hazardous Materials or provides a proper certification to Construction Manager
that materials suspected to be Hazardous Materials are, in fact, not Hazardous Materials and (ii)
the Work may safely and lawfully proceed, as certified either by an appropriate governmental
authority (receipt of an ACP-5, or equivalent) or by an environmental engineer reasonably
satisfactory to both Owner and Construction Manager who shall submit a written report to both Owner
and Construction Manager evidencing such certification (such engineer shall be retained, and be
paid by Owner).



     19.03 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Construction
Manager shall not be required to perform any services or Work or other activities in connection
with suspected or confirmed existing Hazardous Materials. Owner hereby agrees to release, remise
and discharge Construction Manager from any and all claim, demands and liability in connection with
suspected and confirmed existing Hazardous Materials, whether now known or unknown, except to the
extent any such claim, demand or liability is caused by the negligence of Construction Manager. In
no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, shall Construction
Manager have any indemnification obligations to Owner in connection with any claim, damage, loss,
expense, cost or liability arising out of, or in connection with, the existence of any suspected or
confirmed Hazardous Materials, except to the extent arising out of Construction Manager’s

materials of any kind presently existing at the Project.



ARTICLE XX




Materials and Equipment



     20.01 As the Work progresses, title to each item of material or equipment shall vest in Owner
upon the earlier to occur of (a) incorporation of such item into the Work, or (b) payment for such
item by Owner. Each such item shall then become the sole property of Owner, subject to the



 









 




right of Owner to reject the same at any time prior to Final Completion for failure to conform
to the Contract Documents. Accordingly, Construction Manager shall be responsible for arranging
for insuring materials and equipment until the same are incorporated to the Work, as set forth in
Exhibit “C” hereof, unless otherwise covered by Owner’s Builders Risk insurance.




     20.02 Construction Manager shall require, each Trade Contractor to warrant that (a) title to
all materials and equipment incorporated in the Work or paid for by Owner shall pass to Owner free
and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and encumbrances of every kind, and (b) that no
materials or equipment covered by any Application for Payment will have been acquired by any other
person performing work at the Project site or furnishing materials and equipment in connection with
the Work subject to an agreement under which an interest therein or an encumbrance thereon shall
have been retained by the seller or otherwise imposed by seller or any other person.



     20.03 (a) Except as otherwise agreed to as Owner approved individual Trade Contract awards, or
as included in the GMP, it is not anticipated that Construction Manager will be paid for stored
offsite materials (with the exception of long lead equipment), however, Owner, in its sole
discretion, can elect to pay Construction Manager in accordance with this Section 20.03. In such
event Construction Manager shall be entitled to arrange for the pre-purchase of certain materials
and equipment to be incorporated in the Work provided that Owner shall have given its prior written
consent thereto in each instance. If Owner shall have approved any such pre-purchasing of
materials or equipment as aforesaid, Construction Manager shall pre-purchase the same in Owner’s
name, and on Owner’s behalf. In such event, Owner shall advance the amount necessary to enable
Construction Manager or its Trade Contractor to pre-purchase such materials or equipment upon
presentation to Owner of a bill or statement therefor, together with any other documents as
reasonably may be requested by Owner. Construction Manager, simultaneously with its receipt of any
such advance from Owner, shall deliver to Owner a bill of sale with respect to the materials or
equipment pre-purchased evidencing unencumbered title to the same in Owner’s name, together with
any warranties, certificates of insurance and other documents requested by Owner evidencing that
such materials and equipment are covered by such insurance as shall have been specified by Owner;



          (b) All materials and equipment pre-purchased as aforesaid shall be stored at the Project site
or at such off-Project site storage locations as shall have been approved in writing in each
instance by Owner. Any materials or equipment stored at such off-Project site storage locations
shall be segregated from materials and equipment of others, shall be clearly labeled to evidence
Owner’s ownership interest and shall otherwise be stored in such manner as directed by Owner.
Insurance premiums, storage costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by reason of such
off-Project site storage in accordance with the provisions of this Section 20.03 shall be included
in the Reimbursable Costs. The risk of loss or damage to such materials and equipment shall remain
with Trade Contractor until the delivery of such materials and equipment to the Project site, to
the extent and as set forth in Section 20.01 hereof;




          (c) All Trade Contracts, agreements, guarantees, or warranties executed or delivered in
connection with materials and equipment which are pre-purchased by Construction Manager as provided
herein shall provide that if, upon inspection of the same by Construction Manager or Architect, or
if, upon incorporation of the same in the Project, Owner, Construction






 









 







Manager or Architect determines that such materials or equipment, or any portion thereof, are
faulty or defective in any respect, such materials or equipment, or portion thereof, shall be
replaced, at such Trade Contractor’s sole cost and expense, promptly after receipt of written
notice to such effect from Owner, Architect or Construction Manager.




ARTICLE XXI




Substitutions



     21.01 (a) The products, materials and equipment of manufacturers referred to in the
Construction Documents are intended to establish the standard of quality and design required by
Architect. Anything contained in the Construction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
materials of manufacturers other than those specified may be used only if accepted by Owner as
provided in this Article XXI.



          (b) Architect, in consultation with Owner, shall be the judge of equivalency of proposed
substitute materials. Architect shall make written recommendations of acceptance or rejection of
substitute products, materials or equipment to Owner. Owner shall then authorize Architect to
issue to Construction Manager written approval or rejection of the substitution. Construction
Manager shall inform the appropriate Trade Contractor of said approval or rejection. Owner, in its
discretion, may authorize rejection of a proposed substitution notwithstanding the fact that
Architect may have judged it equivalent and recommended acceptance of the same.




     21.02 (a) When two or more products are specified in the Construction Documents for an item of
Work, any one thereof shall be deemed acceptable and Construction Manager shall have the choice as
to which product to use.



          (b) When only one product is specified in the Construction Documents for an item of Work and
the term “or equal” is used in connection with such product, Construction Manager may offer a
substitution by submitting a written application to Architect, in sufficient time (taking into
account the progress of the Work, the period of delivery of the goods concerned and adequate time
for Architect’s review), setting forth and fully identifying (i) the proposed substitute, together
with substantiating data, samples, brochures and other supporting documentation of the substitute
it proposed, including, without limitation, evidence that the proposed substitution (w) is equal in
quality and serviceability to the specified item, (x) will not entail changes in detail, schedule
and construction of related Work, (y) conforms with the design of the Project and its artistic
intent, and (z) will not result in an increase in the cost of the Work or alternatively, will
result in a cost change as indicated in the application, and (ii) the changes in other parts of the
Work required by reason of the proposed substitute, and the cost consequences associated therewith,
for which cost consequences Owner shall be responsible. A copy of any such application shall be
delivered to Owner simultaneously with its delivery to Architect.




          (c) When only one product is specified in the Construction Documents for an item of Work and
the term “or equal” is not used in connection with such product, Owner, in its sole and absolute
discretion (as provided in Section 21.01(b) hereof), may authorize the rejection of any
substitution proposed by Construction Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such specified
product shall become unavailable for a material period of time and Owner receives






 









 







reasonably satisfactory proof from Construction Manager that the same shall be unavailable for
reasons other than the failure of Construction Manager or a Trade Contractor to order such product
in a timely manner, consistent with the Contract Documents and the scheduling requirements for the
Work, then, in such event, Owner shall consent to such substitution, in which event any change in
costs incurred in connection with the use of such substitution shall be confirmed by a Change
Order.




     21.03 Construction Manager shall support any request for a substitution with sufficient
evidence to permit Architect to make a fair and equitable recommendation to Owner on the merits of
the proposal. Any item by a manufacturer other than those cited in the Construction Documents, or
of brand name, or model number or size or generic species other than those cited in the
Construction Documents, shall be considered a substitution.



     21.04 Acceptance of substitutions shall not relieve the appropriate Trade Contractor from
responsibility for compliance with all of the requirements of the underlying Contract Documents.
If changes in other parts of the Work are required by reason of approved substitutions, the costs
of any such changes shall be included in the cost of the Work.



     21.05 In no event shall the Progress Schedule be adjusted by any circumstance resulting from a
proposed substitution, nor shall Construction Manager be entitled to any compensation related
thereto, without the issuance of a change order approved by Owner in accordance with Article XXII
hereof.



ARTICLE XXII




Changes in the Work



     22.01 (a) A Change Order shall be the instrument required to authorize any change in the
Project which would result in (i) a change in Drawings or Specifications, or any other Contract
Documents, (ii) a deviation from design standards established for the Project or any part thereof,
(iii) an extension of the Substantial Completion Dates or the Final Completion Date from and after
the date of the commencement of the Construction Phase.



          (b) Owner, without invalidating or abandoning this Agreement, may at any time require changes
in the Work consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions. All such required changes in
the Work shall be requested in writing by Owner (a “ Change Request”), shall be submitted to
Construction Manager, and, in order to be deemed part of, or deleted from, the Work and authorized
by Owner, shall be executed in the manner set forth below:




               (i) Forthwith upon Construction Manager’s receipt of a Change Request, Construction Manager
shall prepare and furnish to Owner a signed statement (“ Change Proposal”), in a form satisfactory
to Owner, setting forth in detail, with suitable breakdowns by trades and work classifications, and
using the “unit price”, lump sum, and/or other costing method specified by Owner, Construction
Manager’s estimate of (x) the cost, or savings, of the change reflected in the Change Request,
which cost shall reflect the most economical manner of affecting, such Change, (y) the resulting
increase or decrease in the cost of the Work, and (z) the changes in



 









 




the Work or the Progress Schedule (including the Substantial Completion Dates and the Final
Completion Date) which would result from implementation of the Change Request.




               (ii) If Owner approves the Construction Manager’s Statement, Owner shall issue to Construction
Manager a written change order (the “Change Order”) signed by Owner, and the Substantial Completion
Dates and the Final Completion Date and the Contract Documents, as the case may be, shall be
adjusted if required, in accordance with Section 3.06 above.



          (c) Any work performed by Construction Manager or any Trade Contractor which is contrary to
the Work, as required by the Contract Documents, shall be performed at Construction Manager’s or
such Trade Contractor’s sole risk, cost and expense, unless the same shall have been authorized by
a Change Order, or an Emergency Change Order therefor shall have been confirmed by Owner by a duly
issued Change Order, in accordance with Section 22.05 hereof.




     22.02 (a) If Owner shall dispute any of the items set forth in the Change Proposal, then Owner
shall give Construction Manager written notice of such dispute, which notice shall set forth (i)
those items in the Change Proposal which Owner disputes, (ii) those items in the Change Proposal
which Owner does not dispute, and (iii) whether Owner desires that Construction Manager perform any
portion of the change (x) corresponding to a non-disputed item, or (y) corresponding to a disputed
item.



          (b) If Owner’s dispute notice shall direct Construction Manager to perform any change
corresponding to a non-disputed item, that portion of the Change Proposal which related to the
non-disputed item, together with Owner’s direction to Construction Manager to perform the change
corresponding to the non-disputed item, as set forth in Owner’s dispute notice, shall constitute a
validly issued Change Order, and Construction Manager shall promptly undertake to perform the same,
subject to 22.01(c).




          (c) If Owner’s dispute notice shall direct Construction Manager to perform any change
corresponding to a disputed item, Owner’s dispute notice shall be deemed a notice of demand for
prompt resolution of the subject matter of the dispute requiring that (i) the parties exchange all
written documentation necessary to resolve said dispute, and (ii) meet to discuss the same within
thirty (30) days of such dispute notice. During the meeting between the parties, the parties shall
make a good faith effort to resolve said dispute by mutual agreement, failing which it shall be
resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction, as provided in Section 29.16 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for all changes where the amount in dispute is under $25,000,
Construction Manager shall promptly undertake to perform and pursue prosecution of the change
corresponding to the disputed item during the pendency of any such bona fide dispute, and the
determination reached by mutual agreement or rendered by such court of law relative to the disputed
item, together with Owner’s direction to Construction Manager to perform the change corresponding
to the disputed item, as set forth in Owner’s dispute notice, shall constitute a validly issued
Change Order.




     22.03 When paid by Owner to Construction Manager in accordance with a validly issued Change
Order, the compensation specified in a Change Order shall constitute full payment for the



 









 




additional Work covered thereby and for any delay, disruption, cost, or expense occasioned by
reason of such change and shall release Owner from any further liability in respect of the same,
unless Construction Manager expressly reserves such rights in writing prior to acceptance of such
compensation.




     22.04 No time extension shall be granted by reason of the issuance of any Change Order unless
it is expressly stated therein.



     22.05 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Construction Manager and
Architect shall have the authority to order “emergency changes” in the Work, without the prior
written approval of Owner, by the issuance of a written order (an “Emergency Change Order”). For
purposes of this Agreement, “emergency changes” in the Work shall mean only changes which are
required in the case of an emergency to insure the safety of persons or the Work and which, in the
interest of expediency, Construction Manager determines should be made without obtaining the prior
written approval of Owner. Construction Manager shall (x) notify Owner that it has issued an
Emergency Change Order within forty-eight (48) hours after the same has been issued, which
notification shall set forth the reason giving rise to the issuance of the same, and (y) promptly
furnish Owner with copies of all such Emergency Change Orders. Valid Emergency Change Orders shall
be confirmed by Owner by a duly issued Change Order.



     22.06 Architect and Construction Manager shall have the authority to resolve conflicts in the
Construction Documents or to order minor changes to avoid conflicts between different trades by the
issuance of written field orders (“Field Orders”); provided, however, that in no event shall any
Field Order be issued to authorize any clarification or change which may necessitate or warrant a
Change Order, an Emergency Change Order, or which may result in (a) a change in the character or
scope of the Project or any part thereof, (b) a change in the Project Budget, (c) a change in the
time set forth in the Progress Schedule for the performance of the Work, or (d) any extension of
the Substantial Completion Dates or the Final Completion Date, as each of the foregoing may only be
authorized by a Change Order. Copies of all Field Orders shall be submitted by Construction
Manager promptly to Owner.



     22.07 Construction Manager shall provide to Owner and Architect copies of all change orders
issued by Construction Manager to Trade Contractors, including time and material field tickets and
other documentation acknowledging performance of the Work, it being agreed that Trade Contract
Change Orders which do not increase GMP may be issued by Construction Manager without prior
approval by Owner.



ARTICLE XXIII




Inspection and Testing



     23.01 If the underlying Contract Documents or any laws, rules, ordinances or regulations of
any federal, state or local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Work require that
any Work be inspected or tested, Construction Manager shall give Owner and Architect timely notice
of readiness of the Work for inspection or testing and the date fixed for such inspection or
testing. Owner or Consultants shall perform all controlled inspections.



 









 





     23.02 (a) Whenever, in the opinion of Owner, it is desirable to require special inspection or
testing of the Work or its individual components, Owner shall have authority to do so whether or
not such Work is then fabricated, installed, covered or completed. All costs incurred in
connection with such special inspection or testing shall be a Reimbursable Cost by the issuance of
a Change Order unless it reveals a test failure as a result of the acts or omissions of
Construction Manager in which event, Construction Manager shall bear, all costs of such special
inspection or testing, including and without limitation without increase to GMP. All Trade
Contracts shall provide that if a test failure is a result of the acts or omissions of a Trade
Contractor then that Trade Contractor shall bear, at its sole cost and expense, all such costs of
special inspection or testing. No inspection performed or failed to be performed by Owner
hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any of Construction Manager’s obligations hereunder or be
construed as an approval or acceptance of the Work or any part thereof.



          (b) In the event of a test failure of any item of the Work, Owner may require inspection or
testing of any or all of the other similar items of the Work. The costs and expenses incurred by
Construction Manager in connection with such inspection or testing set forth in this Section
23.02(b) shall be a cost of the Work unless (i) the test failure prompting such additional testing
or inspection was a result of the acts or omissions of Construction Manager or the failure of
Construction Manager to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) such additional
testing or inspection results in a test failure which results from the acts or omissions of
Construction Manager, in which event, Construction Manager shall bear, at its sole cost and
expense, all costs of such additional inspection or testing, including, without. All Trade
Contracts shall provide that in the event of a test failure of any term of the Work the costs and
expenses incurred in connection with such testing or inspection shall be borne by the responsible
Trade Contractor.




     23.03 If any Work shall be covered or concealed by Construction Manager or permitted to be
covered or concealed by Construction Manager, contrary to the written request of Owner or Architect
or the Contract Documents, such Work, if required by Owner or Architect, shall be uncovered for
examination, inspection or testing at Construction Manager’s sole cost and expense. If any such
test results are below specified minimums, Owner may order additional examination, testing or
inspection. Such additional examination, inspection or testing shall be at Construction Manager
sole cost and expense if Construction Manager knew of such request and failed to advise the
appropriate Trade Contractor. Should Architect or Owner have reason to believe that defects exist
in any Work which has already been covered or concealed, although no request not to cover or
conceal such Work had been previously made by Owner or Architect such Work, if required by Owner,
be promptly uncovered by Construction Manager and subjected to such tests, inspection or
examination as may be deemed appropriate by Owner or Architect. In such case, the provisions of
Sections 23.02(a) and (b) shall control with respect to the costs associated with such uncovering.



     23.04 Any Work not approved by Owner or Architect in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall immediately be reconstructed, made good, replaced or corrected by Construction
Manager, the responsible Trade Contractor, or another Trade Contractor to be retained by
Construction Manager, including portions of the Work destroyed or damaged by such removal or
replacement, at Construction Manager’s or the responsible Trade Contractor’s sole cost and expense,
to the extent the same is caused by, or results respectively from, Construction Manager’s or its
Trade Contractors’ acts or omissions or the failure of either of the foregoing to comply with



 









 




the provisions of this Agreement or the Trade Contract, respectively. All rejected materials
shall be removed from the Project site, within a reasonable period of time. Acceptance of
materials and workmanship by Owner shall not relieve Construction Manager or any Trade Contractor
from their liability for or obligation to replace all Work which is not in full compliance with the
underlying Contract Documents.




     23.05 At Owner’s option, Owner may accept defective or nonconforming Work or materials,
instead of requiring its removal, correction or replacement, as the case may be, and a Change Order
shall be issued to reflect a reduction in the Trade Contract price, in an amount equal to the
aggregate cost of labor and materials which would have been incurred by the responsible Trade
Contractor if Owner had required said Trade Contractor to repair or replace such defective
nonconforming Work in accordance with the terms of the Trade Contract. Such adjustment shall be
effected whether or not final payment has been made.



ARTICLE XXIV




Ownership and Use of

Documents; Confidentiality



     24.01 Construction Manager agrees that the Contract Documents, technical data and other
information received by it from Owner, Architect and Consultants under or in connection with this
Agreement and any and all other information concerning Owner or Owner’s operations that
Construction Manager may obtain or become aware of shall be accepted and treated as proprietary
information which has a substantial commercial value to Owner, and that Construction Manager will
not use or disclose any such Contract Documents, technical data and other information in any manner
except to the extent that such use or disclosure may be necessary for the performance of the Work
hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, all said documents furnished to Construction
Manager are to be used only with respect to this Project and are not to be used on or in connection
with any other project. Submission or distribution of documents to meet official regulatory
requirements or for other proper and necessary purposes in connection with the performance of the
Work at the Project shall not be construed as a violation of this Section 24.01.



     24.02 Except as otherwise provided herein, Construction Manager is specifically prohibited
from photographing any portion of the Work for publicity and advertising or for any other purpose
without the prior written permission of Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Further,
Construction Manager shall not release confidential information on the Project or the subject
matter of this Agreement to the public without the prior written consent of Owner.



     24.03 The requirements of this Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
shall be binding upon Construction Manager. Construction Manager shall include the requirements of
this Article in all Trade Contracts.



 









 





ARTICLE XXV




Nondisclosure



     25.01 Without limitation of the provisions of Article XXIV hereof, it is agreed that neither
Construction Manager nor any Trade Contractor shall divulge information concerning the Project or
concerning Owner or Owner’s operations to anyone without Owner’s prior written consent, except as
otherwise specifically permitted by the Contract Documents and except such public disclosures as
may be required by law. If such disclosure is required by law, Construction Manager or any Trade
Contractor in question shall provide Owner with a copy of any such proposed public disclosure in
advance and will endeavor to incorporate any comments Owner may suggest in such regard.
Construction Manager shall however, be entitled to describe the Project in its brochures and
proposals without Owner’s prior consent provided no confidential information is disclosed.



     25.02 Except as required by law no signs advertising the Work to be performed by Construction
Manager or any Trade Contractor or identifying any person, firm or entity concerned with the Work
to be performed by Construction Manager or any Trade Contractor shall be allowed at the Project
site or elsewhere unless approved in writing by Owner in advance, which approval for Project
signage shall not be unreasonably withheld.



ARTICLE XXVI




Owner’s Right To Perform Work

And to Award Separate Contracts;

and Cooperation with Separate Contractors



     26.01 If Construction Manager causes damage to the property of Owner or to other work or
property on the Project site, Construction Manager shall promptly remedy such damage as provided in
this Agreement.



     26.02 If Construction Manager delays or causes damage to the work or property of any separate
contractor, Construction Manager shall, upon due notice, promptly attempt to settle with such other
contractor by agreement, or otherwise to resolve the dispute.



     26.03 The requirements of this Article shall be included in all Trade Contracts.



ARTICLE XXVII




Equal Opportunity



     27.01 Construction Manager will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, sex, disability, sexual
preference or age. This provision shall not apply with respect to sex, disability or age where
either is a bona fide occupational qualification; nor shall it apply with respect to age where a
bona fide retirement plan prevents employment of persons above a stated age or where there is a
statutory requirement imposing age limitations. Construction Manager will take such actions as are
necessary to ensure that employees and applicants for employment are treated without regard to



 









 




their race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual preference or age. As
used herein, the term “treated” shall mean and include, without limitation, the following:
recruited, whether by advertising or other means; compensated, whether in the form of rates of pay
or other forms of compensation; selected for training, including apprenticeship; promoted;
upgraded; demoted; downgraded; transferred; laid off; and terminated.




     27.02 Construction Manager will comply with the provisions of all rules, regulations,
statutes, ordinances or other laws of all local, State or Federal regulatory or governmental
bodies. Construction Manager shall furnish all information and reports, if applicable, required by
such regulatory and governmental bodies to determine Construction Manager’s compliance with the
provisions of this Article and such laws, and will permit access to its books, records and accounts
by Owner and any such regulatory or governmental body during regular business hours for purposes of
investigation to ascertain compliance with applicable laws.



ARTICLE XXVIII




Claims For Damages



     With the exception of third-party claims or impleader, no action or proceeding shall lie or be
maintained by Construction Manager against Owner, Architect, Lender, if any, or Consultants upon
any claim arising out of or based upon the Contract Documents or by reason of any act or omission
or any requirements relating to the giving of notices or information, unless such action or
proceeding shall be commenced within two (2) years after the Final Completion of the Work or, if
this Agreement is earlier terminated, within two (2) years following the date of such earlier
termination. This limitation shall not limit Construction Manager’s right to seek indemnification
or contribution from Owner in actions commenced by third parties. This Article XXVIII shall not be
deemed or construed to modify any other provision hereof relating to waivers of claims by
Construction Manager. Construction Manager shall cause each Trade Contract to contain like
provisions to this Article XXVIII and a provision requiring like provisions to be contained in
subcontracts of any tier.



ARTICLE XXIX




Additional Provisions



     29.01 Practice of Architecture and/or Engineering. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to require or authorize Construction Manager to perform or do any
acts which would be deemed the practice of architecture or engineering within the meaning of
the laws of the State where the Project is located. Such limitation shall not apply to
engineering services properly delegated pursuant to the laws of the State where the Project
is located..



     29.02 Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement, when executed by the parties, shall
be effective as of the date first stated above in this Agreement. All understandings and
agreements heretofore had among Construction Manager and Owner with respect to the Project are
merged into, or superseded by, this Agreement. This Agreement fully and completely expresses the
agreement of the parties with respect to the Work and the Project and shall not be modified or
amended except by written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto. Construction



 









 




Manager
understands and agrees that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made to it other
than as appear in this Agreement, that it has not relied on any such representations and that no
claim that it has so relied on may be made at any time and for any purpose




     29.03 Enforcement of Trade Contracts. Construction Manager covenants and agrees that
it shall diligently enforce all of the terms, conditions and provisions of each of the Trade
Contracts. In addition, Construction Manager agrees to assume toward Owner, and shall be
responsible to Owner for, the performance by the Trade Contractors of all of the Trade Contractors’
work under the Trade Contracts, with the same force and effect as if Construction Manager itself
shall have contracted to perform such Work, but subject to Construction Manager’s obligations and
duties set forth herein.



     29.04 Cooperation with Lender. If the Project is financed through a Lender,
Construction Manager shall cooperate with such Lender and its representatives at all times in the
course of the performance of the Work, shall issue such certifications as such Lender may
reasonably require from time to time, and any changes or modifications reasonably requested by such
Lender to this Agreement which do not increase Construction Manager’s cost or shift the allocation
of responsibility and/or liability shall be agreed to by Construction Manager and this Agreement
shall be deemed amended, at the option of Owner, by written agreement, to include such changes or
modifications.



     29.05 Access and Cooperation. Construction Manager agrees (a) to grant Owner,
Architect, Lender, if any, and Consultants access to the Work whenever same is in progress, and (b)
to cooperate with Owner, Architect, Lender, if any, and Consultants throughout the performance of
the Work to the end that the Project may be completed in the most expeditious and economic manner
and in furtherance of the interests of Owner.



     29.06 Performance of Work During the Pendency of Disputes. Unless the parties hereto
expressly agree otherwise in writing, in the event that a bona fide, good faith dispute shall arise
under this Agreement in connection with payments to be made on any Application for Payment, or
otherwise, and the amount in dispute is under $25,000, Construction Manager shall continue during
the pendency of such dispute to perform its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and
the Work in accordance with Owner’s directives and shall, in connection therewith, maintain the
Construction Budget and the Progress Schedule, the Substantial Completion Dates and the Final
Completion Date and shall perform all other obligations required to be performed by it under this
Agreement as if no dispute shall have arisen. During the pendency of any such dispute, and except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Construction Manager shall be entitled to receive payments
from Owner only on account of non-disputed items and payments on account of disputed items shall be
deferred until the final resolution of the dispute.



     29.07
Notices. Every notice, demand, request, consent, approval or other
communication which either party hereto is required or desires to give or make to the other party
hereto shall, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, be effective only if given in
writing and delivered by hand and receipted for, or by registered or certified mail,
postage-prepaid, return receipt requested as follows: If to Construction Manager, addressed to:

applicable to all genders.



     29.09 Captions and Titles. Captions and titles of the different Articles and
Sections of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of aiding and assisting in the location of
different material in this Agreement and are not to be considered under any circumstances as parts,
provisions or interpretations of this Agreement.
 No Waiver. The failure of either party to insist upon the strict performance of
any provisions of this Agreement, the failure of either party to exercise any right, option or
remedy hereby reserved, or the existence of any course of performance hereunder shall not be
construed as a waiver of any provision hereof or of any such right, option or remedy or as a waiver
for the future of any such provision, right, option or remedy or as a waiver of a subsequent breach
thereof. The consent or approval by either party of any act by the other party requiring such
party’s consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary the requirement
for that party’s consent or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party. The payment
by Owner of any amount due hereunder with knowledge of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been waived unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by the party to be charged.



     29.10 Indemnification.



 









 





          (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Construction Manager shall indemnify and hold
harmless Owner and Lender, if any, and their respective members, managers, agents (other than
design professionals), employees, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Indemnitees,”
individually, “Indemnitee”) from and against all losses, claims, costs, damages, and expenses
(including, without limitation, the deductible amounts of any insurance and attorneys’ fees and
disbursements), arising or alleged to arise out of or result from (i) personal injury, sickness,
disease or death, or damage or injury to, loss of or destruction of property (including tools,
equipment, plant and the buildings at the Project site, but excluding the Work itself) including
the loss of use resulting therefrom, sustained or purported to have been sustained as a result of
performance of the Work attributable to any act or omission of Construction Manager, its employees,
Trade Contractors, representatives or other persons for whom Construction Manager is responsible
who are at the Project site at any time during the period the Work is being performed and (ii)
provided Owner has paid Construction Manager for work performed by Trade Contractor, subcontractor
or supplier any lien or notice of lien filed, by any such Trade Contractor or subcontractor or
supplier against the property in connection with the Work. Such obligation shall not be construed
to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or obligation of indemnity which would
otherwise exist as to any Indemnitee.




          (b) In any and all claims against any Indemnitee by any employee of Construction Manager, or
of its Trade Contractors or anyone directly or indirectly employed by either Construction Manager
or its Trade Contractors or anyone for whose acts either Construction Manager or its Trade
Contractors may be liable, the indemnification obligation under this Section 29.11 shall not be
limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits
payable by or for Construction Manager under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability
acts or other employee benefit acts.




     29.11 Severability. If any provision of the underlying Contract Documents is invalid
or unenforceable as against any person, party or under certain circumstances, the remainder of the
underlying Contract Documents and the applicability of such provision to other persons, parties or
circumstances shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of the underlying Contract Documents
shall, except as otherwise herein provided, be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted
by law.



     29.12 Duty Same as Covenant. Whenever in this Agreement any words of obligation or
duty regarding any party are used, they shall have the same force and effect as those in the form
of express covenants.



     29.13 Architect and Consultants. All references in this Agreement to Architect or
Consultants shall be deemed to mean any person or entity designated from time to time by Owner to
serve in such capacity.



     29.14 Rights and Remedies. The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract
Documents and the rights and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition to, and not a
limitation upon, any of the duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available
at law or in equity.



 









 





     29.15 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New
York, without regard to choice of law provisions, as between Owner and Construction Manager
relative to performance hereunder, provided however, that either party may bring suit in any state
or federal court having jurisdiction over the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner and
Construction Manager must comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations applicable to the Project, and this Section 29.16 is not intended to prevent or
contradict compliance therewith. To the extent permitted by law, both parties waive knowingly and
voluntarily for themselves and all persons claiming by or through them, all right to trial by jury
in any judicial proceedings.



     29.16 Binding Effect. It is expressly understood by the parties hereto that delivery
by Owner of the within Agreement for review and execution by Construction Manager shall confer no
rights nor impose any obligations on either party, unless and until both Construction Manager and
Owner shall have executed this Agreement.



     29.17 Interpretations in Writing.



          (a) Any and all interpretations of Contract Documents or of any of the Work to be performed or
payments to be made relative to the Project must be in writing to be valid.




          (b) This provision is not intended to prohibit or deny normal discussion, recommendations,
explanations, suggestions, approvals, rejections, and similar activity in pursuit of the Work at
the Project on an oral basis, such as at job conferences at the Project site. In such instances,
the written minutes, correspondence, shop drawing records, and other written data shall govern over
personal claims regarding oral statements made contrary to the written data.




     29.18 Prohibited Interests. No principal, officer, shareholder, family member,
employee, agent or consultant of Construction Manager who, on behalf of Construction Manager,
negotiates, makes, accepts, or approves, or takes part in negotiating, making, accepting, or
approving any Trade Contractor or any Trade Contract or other agreement entered into by
Construction Manager in connection with the Work, shall become directly or indirectly interested
personally or financially in the Trade Contractor or any Trade Contract or such other agreement.



     29.19 Integrity and Ethical Conduct. Construction Manager acknowledges and
understands that Owner is committed to have the Work performed in accordance with the highest
ethical standards applicable to, or governing, the conduct of construction practices. In
furtherance thereof, Construction Manager hereby agrees to comply with and observe all applicable
federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, requirements, trade standards and ethical
guidelines governing said conduct.



     29.20 Independent Contractor. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties
hereto that Construction Manager, in performing its obligations under this Agreement, shall be
deemed an independent contractor and not an agent of the Owner. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed to mean that Construction Manager and Owner are joint venturers or
partners.



     29.21 Waiver of Consequential Damages. The Construction Manager and Owner waive
consequential damages for claims, disputes or other matters in question arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, except that Owner does not waive consequential damages for claims, disputes or



 









 




other matters (i) caused by the Construction Manger’s gross negligence and/or wrongful intentional
acts; or (ii) otherwise covered by insurance on which Construction Manager is a named insured.
