Construction Management Services Agreement


    


GENERAL CONDITIONS


1.    The Work.
(a)    Plans and Specifications; Laws.  The Work shall be performed in strict accordance with: (i) the Plans and Specifications; and (ii) all applicable federal, state and local codes, laws, permits, orders, ordinances and any rules and regulations promulgated there under, (collectively "Laws").
(b)    Shop Drawings.  Contractor shall submit such shop drawings, product data, samples and similar submittals (collectively, "Shop Drawings") to Owner as are required to accomplish the Work with reasonable promptness and in such sequence so as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of Owner or other contractors.  Owner shall review and approve all Shop Drawings with reasonable promptness.  Such review shall be for the sole purpose of verifying that the Shop Drawings comply with the requirements of the Plans and Specifications and are otherwise satisfactory to Owner.  Owner’s review and approval of the Shop Drawings is not an endorsement or approval of the safety or design of the Shop Drawings or their compliance with the Laws (Contractor is solely liable for such matters).  For purposes of this Agreement, Shop Drawings are drawings, diagrams, schedules and other information specially prepared for the Work.  Product data are illustrations, standard schedules, performance charts, instructions, brochures, diagrams and other information furnished by Contractor to illustrate materials or equipment used in connection with the Work.  Samples are examples of illustrative material or workmanship and establish standards by which the Work will be evaluated.
(c)    List of Suppliers and Subcontractors.  Concurrently with signing this Agreement, Contractor shall submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury to Owner in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto ("Supplier Statement") showing the names and addresses of all persons from whom Contractor expects to request or has requested services, materials, fixtures, or machinery and equipment for the Work.  Owner may object to any person or entity identified in the Supplier Statement by written notice to Contractor within five (5) calendar days after Owner receives the Supplier Statement.  Owner's failure to notify Contractor within the 5-day period constitutes acceptance of all persons identified in the Supplier Statement, subject to Owner's rights in Paragraph 2(a).  If Owner timely objects to any person or entity identified in the Supplier Statement, Contractor shall immediately replace the objectionable person or entity and resubmit an alternate to Owner for approval in accordance with the requirements and time constraints in this Paragraph1(c) until an acceptable alternate is submitted.  No additions to or changes of such statement will be made without the Owner's prior written consent.
(d)    Protection of the Work.  Contractor shall take all steps necessary to protect the Work from loss or damage by the elements, including fire, flood, rain, wind, hail, sand, cave-ins, collapses, and other hazards, and by the defective or incomplete labor or materials of others, or otherwise.  In the event of such loss or damage, Contractor shall promptly replace and restore the Work or any damaged portion thereof at its expense.
(e)    Overtime and Extra Labor and Equipment.  Contractor shall, at its expense, work such overtime and engage such extra labor and equipment as may be required to ensure the diligent prosecution and timely completion of the Work.
(f)    Reduction in the Work.  Owner may, by written notice to Contractor, reduce the amount of the Work to be completed by Contractor, without any liability to Contractor except to pay for work satisfactorily completed.
(g)    Permitted Delay.  Contractor shall be excused for any delay in performance or completion of the Work caused by (1) acts of God, public utilities or public bodies, (2) the elements beyond average weather conditions for the region, (3) modifications requested by Owner, and (4) other matters Contractor could not reasonably anticipate, control or avoid ("Permitted Delays").  In such event, the Completion Date shall be extended for a period equal to the Permitted Delay to the extent that it affects the critical path for performance of the Work, and provided that Contractor gives Owner written notice of the nature of the delay within twenty-four (24) hours after the delay begins, and under no circumstances shall the time of completion be extended to a date which will prevent Owner from completing the entire project within the time that Owner allows for such completion.  Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for any Permitted Delays.
(h)    Material Furnished By Others.  In the event the scope of work includes installation of material or equipment furnished by others, it shall be the responsibility of Contractor to examine the items so provided and thereupon unload, lift, handle, store and install the items with such skill and care as to insure a satisfactory installation.  Loss or damage due to acts of Contractor shall be charged to the account of Contractor and deducted from monies owed to Contractor under this Agreement. 
		
	2.
	    Job Site Conditions.




(a)    Supervision of the Work.  Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work at all times.  In this regard, Contractor shall (i) enforce strict discipline and good order among its employees (and those of its subcontractors and suppliers), (ii) faithfully and rigidly observe and ensure that its agents, employees, suppliers and subcontractors so observe, all (1) Laws and prudent business practices, and (2) rules of Owner and Contractor in effect at the Job Site from time to time, (iii) not employ or allow at the Job Site any unfit person or anyone not skilled in the work assigned to him and (iv) retain only competent persons on the jobsite.

3
Construction Management Services Agreement


    


(b)    No Defects.  Contractor's commencement of the Work constitutes Contractor's acceptance of the work of other contractors previously completed or commenced, and Contractor's acknowledgment that the Plans and Specifications are free of defects that would adversely affect Contractor's performance of the Work.  Contractor waives all claims against Owner with respect thereto.  If Contractor discovers a defect in the Plans and Specifications, the Work or in the work of others, Contractor shall immediately notify Owner of such defect.
(c)    Signs.  Contractor shall not post any sign at or in the vicinity of the Job Site nor permit any of its suppliers, subcontractors or employees to do so without the prior written approval of the style, size, type, color and location of the sign from Owner and from each applicable governmental agency.
(d)    Integration of the Work.  If necessary to integrate the Work with the work of others at the Job Site, Contractor shall (i) cut, fit, patch or plaster the Work so that it will be properly integrated with, receive or be received by, as applicable, the work of others, and (ii) alter the work of others provided (1) the prior written consent of Owner and the other contractors’ whose work will be affected is obtained, and (2) Contractor patches, plasters, paints, repairs and restores, at its expense, such altered work of others.
(e)    Hazardous Material.  Contractor shall not permit any Hazardous Material (as defined below) to be located, used, incorporated into the Work or brought onto the Job Site in connection with the Work unless (i) absolutely necessary because no alternative is available, (ii) the precise nature and quantity of the Hazardous Material is specified in writing to Owner, (iii) the prior written approval of Owner is obtained, and (iv) Contractor complies with all Laws and prudent business practices concerning the Hazardous Material required.  If Contractor encounters any material it reasonably believes to be Hazardous Material, or becomes aware of any incident involving Hazardous Material at the Job Site, Contractor shall immediately stop the Work in the area so affected and shall immediately report the same to Owner.  Contractor shall also immediately notify Owner of any notice Contractor receives concerning the presence or use of Hazardous Material at the Job Site.  Contractor shall be liable for all on and off-site disposal or transport of Hazardous Material (and shall sign any manifest for the transport or storage of such Hazardous Material), and for any discharge, release, injury to any person, or injury or damage to any property resulting from use of Hazardous Material in the performance of the Work.  Contractor shall, at its expense, cause the removal of the Hazardous Material and remedy any associated problems in accordance with applicable Laws and prudent business practices.  "Hazardous Material" shall mean (1) any Hazardous Material as defined under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or under any applicable state or local Laws, (2) any substance or matter that results in liability to any person or entity from discharge of or exposure to such substance or matter under any statutory or common law theory, (3) pesticides, asbestos, formaldehyde, polychlorinated biphenyl, solvents, petroleum and motor fuel hydrocarbon material, and (4) any other substance or matter that becomes subject to any federal, state or local agency order or requirement for removal, treatment or remedial action.
To the extent permitted by Law, and without in any way limiting any other indemnity obligation under this Agreement, Contractor shall indemnify, defend (at Contractor's sole cost and with legal counsel acceptable to Owner) and hold Owner and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, representatives, shareholders, partners, affiliates, successors and assigns harmless, from and against any and all claims, losses, costs or liabilities arising out of an incurred connection with removing or remediating any Hazardous Materials on or about the Job Site or transported on, to, from or about the Job Site by Contractor.  This indemnity shall be effective during and after completion of the Work.
(f)    Cleanup, Storage and Safety.  Contractor shall maintain the site of the Work and the vicinity thereof, in a clean, neat and safe condition, to Owner's satisfaction and shall (i) store all materials, supplies and equipment in appropriate containers or enclosures that are secure from access by persons not associated with the Work in locations acceptable to Owner, (ii) remove from the Job Site all excess material and debris nightly during the performance of the Work, and all equipment, unused material and supplies and temporary structures upon completion of the Work, (iii) return each fence, barrier and obstruction that is temporarily relocated or displaced by Contractor to its original position and condition immediately after its relocation or displacement is no longer necessary.  No temporary structures, including construction trailers or other temporary office facilities, shall be placed or maintained at or in the vicinity of the Job Site without the Owner's prior written approval. Contractor shall take all reasonable safety precautions in the performance of the Work, including compliance with all OSHA requirements.  Contractor shall immediately notify Owner of any injury to any employee or agent of Contractor occurring at the Job Site.
		
	3.
	Examination by Contractor.




(a)    Review of Relevant Matters.  Contractor has examined, investigated and familiarized itself with: (i) the Plans and Specifications; (ii) the nature and location of the Job Site; (iii) the conformation of the ground and improvements of other contractors on which the Work is to be performed; (iv) the character, quality and quantity of the materials, equipment and facilities necessary to complete the Work in a good and workmanlike manner; (v) the general and local conditions relating to the Work; and (vi) all other matters that may affect Contractors performance of this Agreement.
(b)    No Reliance on Owner.  Contractor enters into this Agreement relying solely on its own examination and investigation of the foregoing matters and not on any representation or information relating to the Job Site or the Work (or the completion thereof) made by Owner or any agent of Owner not expressly contained in this Agreement.  Contractor assumes all risk of unknown Job Site conditions and releases Owner from any claim for additional compensation resulting from concealed or unknown and unusual Job Site conditions.
(c)    Satisfaction with Plans.  Any clarifications of any inadequacy, inconsistency, omission or conflict in the Plans and Specification or conflict or inconsistency in the Plans and Specifications and the Shop Drawings shall be made by Owner.  Contractor's failure to request any such clarification before execution of this Agreement shall not relieve Contractor of its obligation to perform in accordance with Owner's interpretations of the Plans and Specifications thereafter.  Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for performing the Work pursuant to Owner's interpretation of the Plans and Specifications.

(ii)    Failure to submit to Owner all information and waivers and releases required under this Agreement;
(iii)    Mechanics' liens, materialmen's liens, stop notices or bonded claims are filed or recorded or reasonable evidence indicating the probable filing or recording of such liens, notices or claims by Contractor or its suppliers or subcontractors, in which case Owner may withhold (1) in the case of a lien, notice or claim by Contractor, the amount claimed in the lien, notice or claim, and (2) in the case of a lien, notice or claim by Contractor's suppliers or subcontractors, One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the amount sought;
(iv)    Contractor's failure to make payments properly to subcontractors, suppliers, materialmen, laborers, or other persons entitled to file a mechanics' lien, materialmen's lien, stop notice or claim as well as to union fringe benefit trust funds (to the extent required);
(v)    The existence of reasonable doubt by Owner that the Work will be completed for the balance of the Contract Price then unpaid, unless Contractor deposits with Owner funds in the amount of such suspected deficiency or performs a sufficient portion of the remaining Work to be performed at Contractor's sole cost so that such portion of the Contract Price then remaining unpaid is determined by Owner to be sufficient to complete the Work;
(vi)    Contractor's failure to complete the Work, or any reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed within the time required in this Agreement;
(vii)    Contractor's failure to construct, install or perform the items of the Work as required in this Agreement, or any reasonable indication that Contractor will be unable to perform the terms of the Work as required in this Agreement; and
(viii)    Any other grounds for withholding payment permitted by the Laws, or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement.
(b)    Payment of Withheld Amount.  Whenever the grounds giving rise to the above withholding have been removed, Owner shall pay Contractor the amount withheld less any expenses or damages Owner incurs as a result of the withholding, the cause of the withholding or the removal of the cause of the withholding.  If any of Contractor's laborers, subcontractors, suppliers or materialmen are not paid, Owner may pay such persons directly.  Any payment Owner makes directly to any of Contractor's laborers, subcontractors, suppliers or materialmen or for their benefit shall be deemed payment to Contractor and shall be credited against the Contract Price.

Upon receipt of a Change Order Request, Contractor shall promptly furnish to Owner a statement in the form of Exhibit D ("Change Order Statement") setting forth in detail, with a labor and material breakdown by trades and work classifications, (i) Contractor's estimate of any changes in the Contract Price attributable to the Change Order Request, and (ii) any proposed adjustment of the Completion Date resulting from the Change Order Request.  Such Change Order Statement shall be delivered to Owner within five (5) business day after Contractor's receipt of a Change Order Request.  Contractor shall have no claim for additional compensation as a result of the Change Order Request unless a Change Order Statement is delivered to Owner as required by this paragraph.
(c)          Adjustments to Contract Price.  
(i)    Upon receipt of a Change Order Statement, Owner shall determine the adjustment, if any, to the Contract Price.  Contractor shall be deemed to have accepted the adjustment or nonadjustment to the Contract Price if Owner does not receive written objection notice from Contractor within five (5) business days after Contractor's receipt of notice of the amount of the adjustment or nonadjustment to the Contract Price from Owner.  If Contractor timely delivers a written objection notice to Owner, the adjustment shall be determined by applying one of the following standards: (1) by reference to Unit Prices or (2) in the case of additions to the Work, cost of performing the additional work plus fifteen percent (15%), and in the case of deletions from the Work, an amount equal to the savings in cost plus ten percent (10%).  The Work shall not be delayed or interrupted during resolution of the adjustment or nonadjustment to the Contract Price.
(ii)    Alternatively, and in Owner's sole discretion, Owner may ask Contractor to submit bid prices for the modifications in the Work.

This warranty shall survive for so long as Owner may be held liable for the matters warranted hereunder (in their respective roles as contractor, builder or seller) but in no event less than one (1) year after the date of completion and final acceptance of the Work.  The above warranty shall not limit or affect other warranties or guarantees expressly or impliedly made by Contractor or any of its subcontractors or materialmen and shall not limit or affect any remedies concerning express or implied warranties or negligent or willful acts or omissions of Contractor or any of its subcontractors or materialmen.

Contractor shall make all portions of the Work available for inspection, testing and approval by Owner and all applicable governmental authorities.

8.    Indemnification, Release and Limitation of Liability.

To the extent permitted by law, this indemnification shall apply regardless of any active or passive negligent act or omission of the Indemnified Parties, but shall not include any injury or harm that is caused exclusively by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties or any of them.  This indemnification shall be effective during and after completion of the Work.

(i)    Any remedy provided elsewhere in this Agreement.
(ii)    If Contractor fails to remedy any default within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of written notice at the address appearing on the signature page of this Agreement or such longer period as is reasonably necessary if such breach cannot be cured within such forty-eight (48) hour time period (provided Contractor commences to cure immediately and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion), Owner may elect to terminate the Contractor's right to perform the Work in whole or in part without liability to Contractor for any Work thereafter performed by Owner or anyone else.  In such event, Owner may: (1) complete the Work or correct any failures in the Work and procure such equipment, labor and materials as is necessary therefor, and in so doing use any of Contractor's equipment and consume any materials on the Job Site until it is completed, and Contractor shall pay Owner the cost of such completion or correction, plus fifteen percent (15%) of such costs to compensate Owner for overhead and administration; (2) sue for and recover from Contractor the reasonable value of all or a portion of the cost to complete the performance of the Work; (3) sue for and recover from Contractor all damages arising out of such default, including but not limited to, loss of profits and recovery of any and all costs and expenses whatsoever directly or indirectly related to such default, or (4) pursue all alternatives under (1), (2) and (3).

Construction Management Services Agreement


    




(iv)    Contractor acknowledges that if Contractor breaches this Agreement by delay in commencing or completing the Work (for any reason other than a Permitted Delay), the damages Owner would suffer ("Delay Damages") would include, among other items, losses, payments, liabilities and damages resulting from additional direct costs (including such items as Job Site payroll, cost of supervision, cost of site office facilities, Job Site telephone and rental value of any equipment not being utilized in connection with the other Work being performed at the Job Site), additional overhead expenses of the main office (including such items as salaries of executives and all other personnel, rent, and utilities), increased labor and material costs, and damages Owner may be required to pay to  other contractors and third parties.  Contractor also acknowledges that such Delay Damages would be difficult and impracticable to ascertain.  Therefore, for any day Contractor fails to commence or complete the Work required Contractor shall pay Owner, upon demand, liquidated damages of $ ______ per day for each day of delay.  The parties agree that the liquidated damages amount is a fair and reasonable approximation of the Delay Damages and shall be Owner's sole and exclusive remedy on account of any such delay.  Such liquidated damages may be deducted from amounts otherwise due Contractor.  If the liquidated damages are not paid upon Owner's demand, and the amounts otherwise due Contractor by Owner are less than the amount of the liquidated damages, the difference shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, until paid in full by Contractor. 
(v)    Owner may set off the costs to complete the Work against monies due to Contractor under any other contract between Owner (or any entity owned or controlled by the Owner) and Contractor (or any entity owned or controlled by Contractor), whether such contract is in effect before or after this Agreement.
(vi)    Owner may pay any sums to any such persons, firms, itself or other entities to whom Contractor is obligated and to charge such sums paid to the account of Contractor without recourse by Contractor and without inquiry as to the validity of such obligation and the correctness of the amount thereof.  If such sum is greater than the amount then due Contractor, the excess shall be a debt due from Contractor to Owner and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date due until paid.
(vii)    Any and all such other remedies as may be provided at law or in equity.
(b)    Termination for Insolvency.  Owner may terminate Contractor's right to do the Work by giving Contractor at least twenty-four (24) hours written notice at any time after the occurrence of any of the following events (i) the filing of a petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code or the institution of any other insolvency proceedings by, against, or on behalf of Contractor, (ii) the appointment of a receiver for Contractor, (iii) the death, dissolution or liquidation of Contractor, (iv) the transfer to others of more than twenty-five (25%) of the assets or ownership interest of Contractor, and (v) any act of insolvency by Contractor.  If an order for relief is entered under the Bankruptcy Code for the benefit of Contractor, Owner may terminate Contractor's right to do the Work by giving twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to Contractor, its trustee and its surety, if any, unless Contractor, the surety or its trustee: (1) immediately cures or takes action to cure all defaults of Contractor, (2) provides Owner adequate assurance of performance under this Agreement, (3) makes Owner whole for all loss suffered by Owner as a result of Contractor's default, and (4) assumes all obligations of Contractor within statutory time limits.
(c)    Termination by Owner.  Owner may also terminate this Agreement at any time before Contractor begins the Work and notifies Owner in writing of such commencement if (1) Owner sells the property on which the Work is being performed or (2) the economic climate does not warrant proceeding with the project of which the Work is a part.  In such circumstance, Contractor shall be entitled to receive that portion of the Contract Price earned by Contractor for Work performed to the satisfaction of Owner less any payments made before the date this Agreement is terminated.  Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation or damages as a result of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 12(c).
(d)    Assignment of Contracts upon Termination.  If Contractor's right to perform the Work is terminated, any agreement of Contractor relating to the Work with third parties shall, at the election of Owner, be assigned to Owner without the need for further documentation.


(e)    Dispute Resolution.   Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to mediation by a neutral mediator with the parties equally sharing all costs of the mediation.  Failure to mediate shall result in a forfeiture of any rights to attorneys' fees and costs as set forth below.  Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, after having been submitted to mediation, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The parties shall equally share all initial costs of arbitration. The prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of attorneys' fees and costs as set forth below.  All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties.  Judgment may be entered upon any such decision in accordance with applicable Law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The venue for mediation and/or arbitration for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be in the state where the Job Site is located.
