20. Changes in the Work.

     20.1 The CRA may order written additions to or deductions from the Work. All changes in the
Work not covered by an authorized contingency shall be authorized by Change Order signed by the CRA
and Developer before the change is implemented. The CRA’s Project Manager will have authority to
make minor changes in the Work not involving extra cost or contingency, and not inconsistent with
the purpose of the Work.

     20.2 If the Developer believes that a variation or change justifies a modification in the
Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Developer may submit a written request for change order at its

unless a written Change Order is issued by the CRA. No change order shall be valid unless
executed by the authorized signatory of the CRA and Developer. The Developer shall notify the CRA

it to an adjustment of the price or a time extension. For the purposes of this paragraph, a day

to the change in the Work which is the subject of the Change Order, including, but not limited to,
all direct and indirect costs associated with such change and any and all adjustments to the
Guaranteed Maximum Price and the Contract time.

     20.3 Subject to Article 20.5(d) below, the Developer expressly acknowledges that commencing
work without a written Change Order executed by CRA and Developer in advance of commencement of
Work waives any claim by Developer to additional contract sums or time.

     20.4 At Owner’s request, a bond rider from the Surety increasing the penal sum of the
Bond shall be submitted to the City with each change order that increases the Guaranteed Maximum
Price.

     20.5 The increase or decrease in the Guaranteed Maximum Price resulting from a change in the
Work shall be determined in one or more of the following ways:

	 	(a)	 	by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient
substantiating data to permit evaluation by the CRA;
	 
	 	(b)	 	by unit prices stated in the Developer’s Proposal or subsequently agreed upon;
	 
	 	(c)	 	by cost and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	by the following
method:
	 
	 	 	 	If Developer and the CRA cannot agree on the adjustment, Developer shall promptly proceed with the
Work involved only with written approval by the City, with each party expressly reserving their
contractual and legal rights. The cost of such Work shall then be determined on the basis of the
reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributed to the change. However,
in the event a Change Order is issued

7

 

	 	 	 	under these conditions, the CRA’s Project Manager will establish an estimated cost of the Work and
the Developer shall not perform any Work whose cost exceeds that estimate without prior written
approval by the City. In such case, the Developer shall keep and present, in such form as the City
may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data of the increase in
the Cost of the Work. The amount of decrease in the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be allowed by the
Developer to the City for any deletion or change which results in a net decrease in cost will be
the amount of the actual net decrease.

21.
Concealed Conditions. If concealed conditions are encountered in the
performance of the Work below the surface of the ground, or if unknown physical conditions below
the surface of the ground are concealed, or if unknown conditions in an existing structure of an
unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as
inherent in Work of the character provided for in this Amendment are encountered, the Guaranteed
Maximum Price and the Contract Time may be equitably adjusted by Change Order upon a request for
Change Order in accordance with Section 20.

22.
Emergencies. In any emergency affecting the safety of persons or property,
the Developer shall act at its discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. Any
increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or extension of time claimed by the Developer on account
of emergency work shall be determined as provided in Section 20.

22. Performance and Payment Bonds.

     22.1. In accordance with the provisions of Section 255.05, Florida Statutes, the Developer shall
cause the Contractor to provide to the CRA, on forms furnished by the CRA consistent with AIA

	RE:

	 	City Center — West Palm
Beach — Demolition
	 

	 	TRANSMITTAL OF DOCUMENTS

Dear Mr. Grigg:

Catalfumo Construction, Ltd. is pleased to transmit ten additional copies of our Demolition
Proposal.

You will note that there is an additional tab, as the Asbestos Report prepared by OHC Environmental
Engineering dated 11/20/03 has been included for reference. Please refer to the “Special
Exemptions” paragraph on Page 6, which states that any asbestos on the roofs is considered to be
non-friable, and removal with a wet process (as we had planned) is recommended.

We had not included removal of the two underground storage tanks in the demolition process, as
there has been no investigation into their sizes or contents. Once the demolition of buildings and
asphalt has been done, however, the tanks can be located, carefully uncovered, tested and sampled,
and at that time the emptying/removal process can be evaluated and priced.

Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns; we are very much looking
forward to getting started. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Daniel S. Catalfumo

President
